Dr. Joan Palmiter Bajorek

REVENUE GROWTH 611% in 2025 📈 EXACTLY how it happened 🎯
Getting close to fiscal end of year goals. I'm in a reflective headspace...

In a world that feels heavy— Layoffs ⚠️ Burnout 🥵 Uncertainty ❓

I just want to pause and say:
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I'm grateful. Deeply 🙏
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

To the customers who see the work 👀
To the customer who said "for this value, I'd pay $10k-$15k more"
To the customers who give rave testimonials publicly 🤝
To the presales customer who ask ME for the followup call 💸

Here's what took my business to new heights compared to last year:

1. Author: In 2024, I spent 3-4 months writing the Your AI Roadmap book 📚✍️ (yes, worth it but MONTHS away from selling)

2. Business Coach: I hired a coach who for a whole month costs LESS than one therapy session 🎓💡 Her work has been invaluable in mindset, frameworks, and centering my health

3. Say No, so I could say HECK YES: Stepping back from a potential 9 figure potential project with LONG sales cycles and high risk while bestselling products close in 20-30 days

4. Clarity: I cleared my plate to focus on what customers LOVE 🎯❤️: AI workshops where customers see results and AH HAH moments galore

5. Testimonials: I have a WALL of testimonials 🗣️⭐

6. Simplify: I streamlined sales cycles ⚙️✨ less complexity, more clarity

7. Sales Work: Invested in my sales acumen—upsell, downsell, retargeting, standard opening questions 💼🚀 Less building, MORE selling

8. Listen: I listened DEEPLY to customer needs. THEN built workshops 👂💬

9. Referral Partners: I found quality partners for work outside my zone of genius 🤝💰 Win-win-WIN deals

10. No/Low Meeting Mondays and Fridays. Got to have time to actually do customer heads-down work!❤️🧠

One of my biggest "AH HAH" moments? 🧠🧠🧠

Coming back from vacation and seeing my business in a new light.

I was SHOCKED workshops were my bestseller 🤯
Where customers put down the money. Data don't lie 💯

3 AI Tools for 5x Productivity is our bestselling workshop of 2025
Folks LOVE it. Rave about it. Employees say "fun"
CEO says "Why didn't I know about this tool!!!"
My firm AI helps executives upskill in AI to future-proof businesses 🤝

It might look lucky 🍀
This is really about consistency  📅
This is really about learning from data 📊
This is really about being open to being wrong

It's about courage to take the business seriously
To make hard decisions and have tough convos ❤️

Not gonna lie, there were tears and nights of poor sleep
But the in weeks of tripling down 

The next months of consistent sales
Then tripling down again for our upcoming sprints..... let's go 2026!

Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart 🚀
If you're tired, rest… then keep going 🛌➡️🏃‍♀️
If you're wondering if it's possible
It is. 💥
Cheering you on towards your goals!


What's are you doing to scale? Share it!  👇
