How to Make a Good Business Investment: 4 Lessons I Learned the Hard Way

“In one year, I will help you add $100K or more to your bottom line.” This was a lofty promise to make to 25 year-old me, who was just beginning her business, but Bill’s voice was like music to my ears and every one of my pain points. I decided right then and there that his program was a good business investment. By the time I was attending Bill’s business conference in late March 2015, I had already wracked up a good deal of credit card debt in order to make my business “look” and feel legitimate. Bringing in $100K over the next year would solve that problem and then...

Business, Human Design

For many business owners, it’s been a tough year. If you’ve experienced business fails from the shifting economy or the changing landscape within your industry, you are not alone. After receiving clear intuitive guidance that it was time to pivot the foundations of my business model in 2023, I created four different paid offers throughout the year. Of these four offers, two failed completely. Of the other two, one was a smashing success, resulting in five lives changed, one participant becoming a private coaching client, and me having a blast while stepping into the role of teacher. Despite these business fails, what has kept me grounded and attracting opportunities in...

How to Get the Best Client Testimonials

Business

How many times have you asked for client testimonials, to which they excitedly replied—“of course!”—only for weeks to go by without a testimonial appearing in your inbox? This scenario has occurred for me more times than I can count, whether I’m asking for a client testimonial or I’ve been asked to write one for someone else. It’s not that our clients don’t want to share the magic of our work with the world, nor are they unappreciative of our product or service. It’s quite the opposite. Our product or service has had such an impact on their lives, that to capture the breadth and depth of that experience requires a bit...

Business

When you want something, you want it.You’re persistent and determined. You’re in it for the long haul.You don’t give up or quit easily. Willpower is a blessing, right? It can be—when you’re using it as fuel to create more of what you want. Willpower is tricky because it keeps you in the game, but it can be difficult to see when you’re playing for the wrong team. Just like willpower is the magic that conjures up what you intend to create, it can also be a spell that holds you back. Maybe you’re pinning all of your hopes and dreams onto a specific outcome that’s not in the cards for...

The Profit First Method: Overcoming Feast or Famine in Your Business

Uncategorized

Money has always been a struggle for me.It’s likely something I’ll be mastering for the rest of my life. While I’ve increased my capacity to earn over the years [from my own hands, tears, and heart], hanging onto it has been a different beast entirely. It’s easy for me to experience feast or famine in my business—to create large sums, reinvest them, and deplete to the point of pain before replenishing again. In November, I had a powerful insight followed by an even more powerful question: 💭 How can I relate to money as a circle instead of a pendulum? A circle has no edges. It’s infinite. It travels around...

The #1 Mindset Hack for Making Your Dreams a REALITY

Business, Manifestation, Travel

Identifying what you want in life and business is easy.Making your dreams a REALITY is an entirely different story. How do you reconcile the two? There was a particular day four years ago—October 1st, 2013 to be exact—when the U.S. government was forced to shut down, and all of the national parks were closed until further notice. While this typically wouldn’t be an issue, that day, it was. It just happened to be the day my best friend and I were leaving to go on our eight week road trip across the U.S. Our intention was to visit all of the national parks 🙈 From the moment we decided to...

You know, the pattern you think you’ve healed, only to have it show up on your doorstep wrapped in different paper. For the majority of my life, I’ve struggled with getting stuck in a lack of motivation and cycling through energetic highs and lows....
