S4 Episode 22: The Honest Roadmap Part 2: $0 to Consistent Income Online

In this episode of the Organized Mom Podcast, Imani continues part two of her six-part mini training series, “Zero to Consistent Income Online.” She explains how to identify current, deliverable skills (not aspirational ones) by doing a “Real Skills Audit” of hard skills, soft skills, and transferable skills, emphasizing implementation over watching tutorials and avoiding services that aren’t a genuine fit to prevent burnout. She addresses imposter syndrome and fear of others’ perceptions. She also urges building a sustainable business aligned with desired work hours. 00:00 Intro 00:13 Sponsor Message 00:43 Series Overview 01:21 Learn by Doing 03:00 Choose What Fits You 03:48 Real Skills Audit 05:54 Transferable Skills 07:10 Confidence and Imposter Syndrome 11:21 Build Sustainable Business 14:02 Homework and Next Steps 15:43 DacostAcademy Details  17:50 Wrap Up Links to all programs, services & social media: The Caribbean Note App WAITLIST HERE [https://mailchi.mp/imanidacosta.com/the-caribbean-note-app-waitlist?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAdGRleAPsoadleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAacxvaDue-ojcqXe5geHXxygYpd4VgOALtml-t-tzkarpNzEOl9xqQlgLkLpHQ_aem_h7tQZ-heOsJkRXiDhbSoEQ] Imani DaCosta Links Page: www.imanidacosta.com/links [http://www.imanidacosta.com/links] Get your FREE Virtual Assistant Informational Guide HERE [https://mailchi.mp/ed122dd83629/freeinformationguide?mcp_token=eyJwaWQiOjMwNDc3NzYsInNpZCI6MjEyOTQxNjQ0MSwiYXgiOiJlMzZhMjRjMTZmMjcwYjI3ZDY0MWNkZmZmOGM5YjNiNyIsInRzIjoxNzYwMDIxNDU1LCJleHAiOjE3NjI0NDA2NTV9.UsLUlN6H2vNGZ0up-03vty3kfXttvdfVlEgN19rbvmM] Apply to DaCostAcademy September 2026 Cohort HERE:  [http://www.imanidacosta.com/dacostacademy] Purchase the Virtual Assistant Starter Guide HERE [https://pensight.com/x/imanidacosta/digital-item-1845bb07-1725-48c5-8257-54845d6f3010]  Want to be on the podcast?  Fill out this inquiry form HERE [https://hello.dubsado.com/form/form-builder/edit/6695be64bbed85003a6555cf]⁠ [https://portal.imanidacostawellness.com/public/form/view/6758cf0e38703e003acf4622] Thank you for your continuous love and support 🌻

S4 Episode 20: You have no more excuses

In this episode of the Organized Mom Podcast,  Imani argues that AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity remove barriers to starting a business and urges listeners to focus on showing up, building a personal brand, and creating offers rather than obsessing over aesthetics. She advises using AI to refine ideas, define an ideal audience, and create strategic social content that markets a product or service, while warning against mentors who sell lifestyles, shortcuts, or quick-money claims. She emphasizes discipline, learning through free resources, and mentorship to understand the full online business ecosystem. 00:00 Intro 00:14 Sponsor Message 00:43 No More Excuses With AI 01:44 Build a Real Content Ecosystem 02:29 Use AI to Clarify Your Niche 03:06 Show Up Imperfectly on Social 03:52 Free Learning Before Mentors 05:07 How to Vet Online Gurus 06:46 No Shortcuts Just Work 08:23 New Income Streams Explained 09:57 Designing a 15 Hour Week 11:18 2026 Is Your Launch Year 12:02 Join the DacostAcademy 13:32 Final Thoughts Links to all programs, services & social media: The Caribbean Note App WAITLIST HERE [https://mailchi.mp/imanidacosta.com/the-caribbean-note-app-waitlist?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAdGRleAPsoadleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAacxvaDue-ojcqXe5geHXxygYpd4VgOALtml-t-tzkarpNzEOl9xqQlgLkLpHQ_aem_h7tQZ-heOsJkRXiDhbSoEQ] Imani DaCosta Links Page: www.imanidacosta.com/links [http://www.imanidacosta.com/links] Get your FREE Virtual Assistant Informational Guide HERE [https://mailchi.mp/ed122dd83629/freeinformationguide?mcp_token=eyJwaWQiOjMwNDc3NzYsInNpZCI6MjEyOTQxNjQ0MSwiYXgiOiJlMzZhMjRjMTZmMjcwYjI3ZDY0MWNkZmZmOGM5YjNiNyIsInRzIjoxNzYwMDIxNDU1LCJleHAiOjE3NjI0NDA2NTV9.UsLUlN6H2vNGZ0up-03vty3kfXttvdfVlEgN19rbvmM] Apply to DaCostAcademy September 2026 Cohort HERE:  [http://www.imanidacosta.com/dacostacademy] Purchase the Virtual Assistant Starter Guide HERE [https://pensight.com/x/imanidacosta/digital-item-1845bb07-1725-48c5-8257-54845d6f3010]  Want to be on the podcast?  Fill out this inquiry form HERE [https://hello.dubsado.com/form/form-builder/edit/6695be64bbed85003a6555cf]⁠ [https://portal.imanidacostawellness.com/public/form/view/6758cf0e38703e003acf4622] Thank you for your continuous love and support 🌻

S4 Episode 19: The way of working is OVER. What to do now!

In this episode of the Organized Mom Podcast,  Imani then argues that the traditional path of college-to-job-to-home no longer works amid rising costs, inflation, and job insecurity. She describes millennials struggling to afford housing even while making six figures, widespread burnout and mental health issues, and people working multiple jobs or living with family to survive. Imani urges listeners to stop relying on government support or a single employer and instead use any 9–5 as a stepping stone while building entrepreneurship, multiple income streams, and retirement strategies through assets and investments. She shares her own plan to leave New York for better health, environment, and opportunities for her children. 00:00 Intro 00:14 Sponsor Message 00:43 The Old Way Is Dead 01:51 Why the System Fails Now 03:23 Survival Mode Reality Check 04:22 Create Your Own Way 04:55 Six Figures Still Burnout 06:11 Why I'm Leaving New York 08:13 Entrepreneurship Is Required 09:11 Use Your Job as a Tool 09:36 Retirement Myths and Reality 10:57 Build Multiple Income Streams 11:48 Resources and Next Steps 13:11 Encouragement and Wrap Up Links to all programs, services & social media: The Caribbean Note App WAITLIST HERE [https://mailchi.mp/imanidacosta.com/the-caribbean-note-app-waitlist?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAdGRleAPsoadleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAacxvaDue-ojcqXe5geHXxygYpd4VgOALtml-t-tzkarpNzEOl9xqQlgLkLpHQ_aem_h7tQZ-heOsJkRXiDhbSoEQ] Imani DaCosta Links Page: www.imanidacosta.com/links [http://www.imanidacosta.com/links] Get your FREE Virtual Assistant Informational Guide HERE [https://mailchi.mp/ed122dd83629/freeinformationguide?mcp_token=eyJwaWQiOjMwNDc3NzYsInNpZCI6MjEyOTQxNjQ0MSwiYXgiOiJlMzZhMjRjMTZmMjcwYjI3ZDY0MWNkZmZmOGM5YjNiNyIsInRzIjoxNzYwMDIxNDU1LCJleHAiOjE3NjI0NDA2NTV9.UsLUlN6H2vNGZ0up-03vty3kfXttvdfVlEgN19rbvmM] Apply to DaCostAcademy September 2026 Cohort HERE:  [http://www.imanidacosta.com/dacostacademy] Purchase the Virtual Assistant Starter Guide HERE [https://pensight.com/x/imanidacosta/digital-item-1845bb07-1725-48c5-8257-54845d6f3010]  Want to be on the podcast?  Fill out this inquiry form HERE [https://hello.dubsado.com/form/form-builder/edit/6695be64bbed85003a6555cf]⁠ [https://portal.imanidacostawellness.com/public/form/view/6758cf0e38703e003acf4622] Thank you for your continuous love and support 🌻
