Master Your Business Frequency: Refining Your Approach After Market Shifts & Setbacks

Written By Ien Araneta

There’s something sacred in the space between “this used to work” and “what if we tried something new?” It’s raw, real, and often rattling. But it’s also where the most honest business breakthroughs begin. In this episode of The Freq Show, Sam takes the mic solo to unpack what’s been shifting behind the scenes at Beckon—and how he’s learning (in real time) to trust the evolution of the business and himself.

Because sometimes, the work isn't about doubling down. It’s about stepping back, zooming out, and finding a new frequency to build from.

Master Your Mind, Master Your Model

This isn’t the first time Sam and Jaclyn have talked about mastering your mind on the podcast. But this time, the mastery has moved into the realm of operations, investments, and long-term vision. The question isn’t just what are we creating? but who are we becoming while we build it?

For Sam, it meant taking a hard look at what no longer felt aligned.

After years of flipping and wholesaling single-family homes, he realized the market—and his energy—was shifting. What once felt exciting had started to feel forced. And for someone as deeply intuitive and values-driven as Sam, that’s the clearest sign that it’s time to pivot.

Instead of pushing harder, he got curious. What if this “stall” wasn’t a failure, but a frequency shift?

The Gap Between Vision and Now

Sam has long held a vision of owning and operating commercial real estate. Apartment buildings, RV parks, and properties that generate long-term, sustainable income—not just quick flips. But like so many of us, he’d been waiting for the "right time," the perfect amount of capital, or the deal that felt “safe” enough.

Spoiler: that time never came. So he created it.

Over the past six months, Sam began moving boldly toward that vision—not with reckless abandon, but with quiet, grounded faith. He started underwriting larger commercial deals. He re-engaged with wholesaling, not as the end game, but as a bridge. He even brought back his camera, capturing behind-the-scenes content to document the process and keep it human.

All of it from the perspective of someone walking the talk.

Getting Honest About Business

This episode is a masterclass in business honesty.

Sam doesn't sugarcoat the setbacks. He talks about the tough seasons: leads drying up, deals falling through, and the identity crisis that can happen when your old business model no longer fits. But he also shares what happens when you don’t make those signals wrong.

Instead of beating himself up, he chose to see the pause as part of the plan.

Because real growth? It isn’t just about income. It’s about integrity.

Sam also touches on something Jaclyn often says in other episodes: when the outer strategy feels sticky, it’s often time to refine the inner strategy. How you think, how you feel, and how you hold yourself when things don’t go according to plan—that’s the real frequency work.

How to Refine Your Business Frequency

Sam didn’t offer a cookie-cutter strategy (because he’s not that guy). But here are a few key takeaways from the episode that any entrepreneur, creative, or dream-chaser can take to heart:

1. Notice When the Old Model Stops Working

Whether it’s marketing, mindset, or your whole business model—pay attention to what feels off. You don’t need to make it wrong. Just get honest. Ask yourself: Is this still aligned? Or am I doing this because it used to work?

2. Pivot Without Panic

Sam didn’t burn everything to the ground. He experimented. He gave himself permission to try new avenues while maintaining a core base. The move into commercial real estate didn’t replace everything—it expanded the vision.

This is such a great reminder: you can evolve without blowing it all up.

3. Get Back in the Arena

At one point, Sam talks about re-engaging with things he had set aside—like wholesaling, documenting the journey, and even putting out content that might feel uncomfortable at first. But that’s the thing about reinvention: it often asks us to pick up tools we thought we were done with.

This isn’t regression. It’s refinement.

A Note on the Freq App

While Sam doesn’t explicitly talk about The Freq App in this episode, the energy behind it is woven into everything he shares. Tuning your business to the right frequency isn’t just about strategy—it’s about staying connected to how you feel, what you value, and where you’re heading. The app was designed for exactly that.

From guided frequencies to daily practices that help reorient your mindset, The Freq App is a quiet power tool for any founder navigating change.

Final Thought: The Frequency Always Leads

If there’s one message Sam left listeners with, it’s this: when you’re honest about what no longer works, a path will always appear.

It might not be instant. It might not be easy. But it will be aligned.

Refining your business isn’t a sign of failure. It’s a sign of maturity. It means you’re paying attention. It means you care more about resonance than appearance. And that’s where real success begins.

So if you’re in a messy middle, if your business feels like it’s shape-shifting or stalling—breathe. This isn’t the end. It’s a frequency recalibration.

And that… is exactly where the magic begins.

Live on purpose. Live on frequency.
