101. I Almost Quit This Business 2 Weeks Ago: Here's What Happened
Wed Jan 28 2026
In this raw and honest episode of Beyond the Sets and Reps, Brandi Clark pulls back the curtain on a season in her business where she came dangerously close to quitting. After making major changes to her sales system—including shifting to weekly live webinars, adjusting pricing, and running paid ads—things initially worked… until they didn’t.
Brandi shares how rising ad costs, declining lead quality, low webinar show-up rates, and backend overwhelm led to frustration, self-doubt, and the feeling that maybe she wasn’t cut out for the next level of growth. Through tears, hard conversations, and a deep dive into what was really happening behind the scenes, she uncovered a powerful truth:
Growth hurts—and that pain doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re evolving.
Using the metaphor of literal “growing pains,” Brandi explains why every stage of business—from the beginning to scaling past six figures—comes with discomfort, doubt, and the temptation to quit. She also shares the critical lessons she learned about consistency, lead quality vs. quantity, and why most people quit right before the breakthrough.
This episode is for fitness professionals, coaches, and online business owners who feel stuck, tired, or discouraged—even when they’re doing “all the right things.”
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why wanting to quit is often a sign you’re growing—not failing
The difference between low-cost leads and high-quality leads (and why it matters)
How changing sales systems can expose hidden bottlenecks in your business
Why consistency beats intensity every time
How to choose a cadence you can actually commit to
The power of small, daily money-making actions and the compound effect
What to do when progress feels slow and frustration sets in
If you’ve ever questioned your path, your pace, or your ability to keep going—this episode will remind you why you started and help you stay in the game when it matters most.
🎧 Tune in, pull your hair into a messy bun, and let’s get it done.
