Your calendar is full, your to‑do list is long, and yet your income chart looks suspiciously flat. This episode of The Success $ Lab is where we separate “fake money work” from the handful of moves that actually change your numbers. Dr. Shena Dixon Mason, Esq. takes you into a behind‑the‑scenes case study where a client was exhausted from constant activity—emails, planning, tweaking, meetings—but couldn’t point to a single metric that proved the effort was paying off. You’ll see how one 60‑minute “money‑work audit” revealed the truth about where their time was going, why their revenue had stalled, and which tasks were really just sophisticated procrastination dressed up as productivity. We’ll walk through four critical zones every serious wealth‑builder should review: offers actually made, follow‑up actually sent, money actually collected, and money actually reviewed on purpose. You’ll hear how we rewrote the weekly playbook around those four zones—setting a minimum number of offers per week, creating follow‑up messages that felt honest but decisive, cleaning up overdue invoices and loose payment systems, and adding a standing “money date” to the calendar so the numbers were no longer a mystery. This episode gives you language to describe fake money work versus real money work, a simple assignment you can run every month with your team, and a framework you can turn directly into a blog about reclaiming your time and pointing it at actions that move the scoreboard.

This Success $ Lab session is for the builder who has taken every assessment under the sun—DISC, Myers‑Briggs, Strengths, Enneagram—but still isn’t sure how any of that translates into actual revenue. In this episode, Dr. Shena Dixon Mason, Esq. walks you through how wealthy families and serious founders treat assessments like dashboards, not entertainment. You’ll hear a client story where personality and career assessments finally explained why “perfect fit” prospects kept stalling, how one simple insight about decision styles changed the entire sales conversation, and what shifted when the offer and message were rewritten to match how those clients naturally think, choose, and take risks. We’ll break down four key zones of the “assessment audit”: your own wiring and working style, the real profile of your best‑fit client, the way your current offers do—or do not—serve that match, and the language you’re using in your marketing, sales calls, and content. You’ll learn how to stop trying to be all things to all people, how to design an offer that fits both how you’re built and who you’re built to serve, and how to turn an assessment debrief into a clean, ethical bridge to a paid program without feeling pushy. If you’ve ever looked at your assessment results and thought, “Great… now what?”, this episode gives you a practical, repeatable method for turning insight into income, and a structure your team can use to map your assessments, your audience, and your offers into one clear plan.
