    Mar 17 2022

    The secret to getting results in your business and in your life is to show up to do the work consistently.

    I know it get thrown out there a lot that you gotta be consistent if you want to see results. That's tru, but what does that actually mean?

    You might be thinking or maybe you've tried showing up 7 days a week on IG and got burned out, so you quit. Maybe you sent out an email to your list and a bunch of subscribers unfollowed.

    The narrative is scary on the surface without context or guidance. That's why I'm breaking it down for you in this quick episode.

  • (REBROADCAST) S2 E8 - Diversifying your income during times of uncertainty
    May 6 2021

    So, how are you? Seriously, how are you? I wasn't sure if I was going to do an episode this week or skip it in light of all that's happening. There is so much uncertainty, I didn't want to add to the noise. But in the end, I decided to record this episode because maybe you're feeling unsure about your business and if it will survive. You're wondering if you should still be selling... is that even appropriate.

    These are unprecedented times. There are so many uncertainties with full-time jobs, schools, let alone a fledgling business. But this is the perfect time to be of value to your community. This is the perfect time to go out and serve the heck out of your community. Now is the time to start focusing on what you can control and that is how you show up in the world for yourself, your family, your audience.

    In this episode, I'm sharing some actionable steps you can take right now to reclaim control.

    Stay tuned. Real talk starts now.
