018: [Coaching] Focusing on What Drives Revenue for Your Business with Jamara Wilson

As solopreneurs and small business owners, we often get stuck doing tasks that we really need to delegate or hire someone else to do. We tell ourselves that it only takes a few minutes, or we don’t have time to train someone, or we’ll do it later. The problem is that a bottleneck occurs (us!) that limits our business growth. As the business owner, we should be focusing on doing the activities that drive revenue.

My guest, Jamara Wilson, has a great insight into this and helps me through some of my own thinking on this topic.

Jamara is CEO & President of Tuxedo Impressions LLC, a company whose mission is to help small businesses create efficiency in their daily operations to sustain growth by using technology that will support your company values and culture.

In this episode, we talk about:

• When businesses come to Jamara (what are they facing)
• Symptoms vs problems in your business (this is a really key point)
• Resistance to change
• Finding the time to create processes
• As business owners, we need to focus on what we do that drives revenue
• Technology isn’t enough
• Hiring VA’s and other team members
• The software and apps Jamara uses in her own business and why she chose them

Apps we mention:

• Asana
• HubSpot CRM
• Zapier
• G-Suite/Google Apps

Become Bookable Live Online Workshop - April 15, 2026
If you want to speak more but you’re not sure where to start or your efforts haven’t produced the results you want, I’m hosting a live online workshop called “Become Bookable: How to Get Speaking Invitations” on Wednesday, April 15th.

A lot of brilliant women assume they just need to pitch themselves more. But the real reason speakers get invited isn’t because they pitch harder — it’s because they’re positioned as bookable.

In this 3-hour interactive workshop live on Zoom, I’ll show you how speakers actually get invited — and help you clarify the positioning that makes event organizers say yes.
