1, Every hour that you hire someone for is profitable
2. You are finding the RIGHT people who will stick with you for life

A very controversial topic for this week, but I feel that it needs to be written about anyway. Let’s talk about plant medicine. 

First of all, I don’t do any drugs. I don’t smoke weed. I don’t enjoy it, I like my feet planted flat on the ground. Much less anything else. 

But I heard about Iboga ceremonies in Costa Rica 3 years ago and the healing effects on the heart, mind, and body. 

After 3 years of chickening out about it and...

If you told me I would be writing this today I would call you crazy. 

EXCEPT NOT. I knew this was going to happen because I reverse-engineered it. I even booked a PR company ahead of time and designed the headline long before it would manifest: 

“This single mom goes from Medicaid to a 7-figure empire” 

I would just never admit to it publicly because I was in the process of letting go of a lot of shame around money. 

I cannot tell you how incredibly thankful I...

I wrote this piece of content last week. 

Why? I am on a phone-free 10-day vacation. 

That seems crazy considering:

1. It’s covid 
2. I have a 1-year-old 
3. I am a single mom 
4. I am in a hyper-growth phase in my business (our last month was almost $300k in sales)

• “Okay, I want the group program but how will I gather a bunch of people at once to join a group program? And what if only one joins and they go ‘where’s everyone else?’"
• “My group (or individual) program seems to be attracting the ‘victimized people’ and they drain my energy... what now?”
• “I’m...

Are you struggling with lead gen and sales? Are you struggling to find the right people?

Listen to this podcast as we interview Melissa Sherry to learn how we have trained our team on the similarities between coaching and sales.

If I tell you what my vision is for 2034, you will think that I am completely crazy and delusional… but that’s kind of new.  

I used to dream big and accomplish many of my visions (including becoming a US citizen, getting an MBA degree from top 15 university, paying back all school debt in 2 years, etc). 

And then something happened…

I stopped vision casting. 

I failed one too many times and stopped trusting myself. 

I...

We all want to grow our businesses.

But where almost every entrepreneur will hit a snag is the outreach.
The prospecting.
The reaching out.
The inviting.

Why?

“I don’t want to bother people with yet another invite to a Facebook group.”
“I don’t want to be annoying them with 4 emails a week.”
“I don’t want to impose on their feed with my constant live videos.”
“I don’t want to bother my clients by asking them for referrals.”
