Month: September 2021

Bet you didn’t think I’d last this long in business!

In May 2014, I left my very secure career at a Fortune 50 company to go full time for my own online business.

I truly can’t believe it’s been over 7 years full time for myself!

I bet many of you who were subscribers of my YouTube channel or readers of my blog at the time also didn’t expect my business would survive this long.

I’m sure some of you may have thought it was a cash grab. Perhaps some of you thought it was a fad that I might get bored of. And I’m certain some of you believed that I just wouldn’t be able to make it work for the long haul.

I wouldn’t blame you if you had your doubts!

The truth of the matter is that the vast majority of businesses fail.

They fail at the 120 day mark.

They fail at the 1, 3, and 5 year mark.

Statistically, every day a business operates, the odds are it will not make it through the day.

So, I completely understand why it feels scary to start a business with such high odds stacked against you.

But I also know in the depths of my soul that I will never go out of business unless I decide I no longer desire to run a business.

And trust me, I never want to work another 9 to 5 again, so it’s unlikely that I’ll ever stop being an entrepreneur.

I’m so certain of this because I now have the knowledge and experience of what it takes to build a business, and even if the industry I am currently working in fails, I know I can start another business and it will be successful.

Although I do not buy into the idea that there is a blueprint for success in business, I do know that there are elements of digital marketing, that once you understand them, you can apply them to any online business venture.

It took me a long time on my own to put all the pieces together!

Remember, I started my first blog in 2008, I started YouTube in 2009 and it look me another 5 years to understand on my own those essential elements that I know are what always create success in business when implemented strategically and consistently.

I’m not going to sit here and tell you the last 7 years have been all roses. I certainly had points where I let my business slip, or I tried a new strategy that didn’t really work for me and I had to readjust course.

But I’ve always been able to right the ship, get back on course and produce a full time income for myself.

I’m no 35 year old millionaire, but I do well enough for myself through my business that I lead a comfortable life.

Entrepreneurship and running my own business online was something I intentionally chose for myself so that I could live the life I wanted.

I truly desired the time, financial and location freedom that I enjoy today and it was something I was able to accomplish for myself very quickly once I had all the pieces of the puzzle worked out in my mind.

But the problem with those puzzle pieces, is that I can tell you about them all day long!

In fact, in my previous email I laid them all out for you, but there is a difference between knowing a thing and being able to apply that knowledge to your own situation.

It’s the reason why most businesses fail, even though there is such a plethora of information you can access free on the internet.

This is why I created the EMPIRE BUILDING 6 Week Business Accelerator!

I saw from experience working with the ambitious women in my community that it wasn’t enough to know the information, but that they often needed help applying the knowledge to their own business idea.

Isn’t it so often the truth that we can see how something works for another person, but not how that works for ourselves.

So, I put together the Business Accelerator as an affordable business coaching and consulting opportunity where I guide you through the information and help you to see how it applies to your own circumstance.

That sort of support is invaluable! Having a mentor who has been there and done that before can be a major difference in the trajectory of your success.

I welcome you to join me for the EMPIRE BUILDING 6 Week Business Accelerator so that we can do this essential work together to give your business the best possible foundation for success!

Although the online business world can often seem very crowded and competitive, believe me when I say, I want to see you succeed!

I want to see you reach your goal and live your dream the way I get to.

Helping to free other women from the 9 to 5 system so that they can live and experience life on their own terms is why I do what I do!

Are your creating a hobby or a business?

I need to ask you a serious and somewhat uncomfortable question about your business idea.

Are you building a business or is your idea just a hobby?

I ask because there is a fine line between creating and building something as a hobby and creating and building a business.

There are two differences that set them apart:

First, is revenue.

Second, is commitment.

First and foremost, a business is intended to earn revenue. No matter if that business is a side-hustle, a service you may do only part time, or is intended to serve as a passive income source, all businesses aim first and foremost to earn money.

But, I hear from a lot of women in my community who have been working on their business idea or various ideas for years, and they have struggled to get to the point where they are offering something for sale.

If you have been blogging, posting on social media, or sharing videos on YouTube sharing your knowledge and craft with others, but you aren’t really offering anything for sale, your business is just a hobby.

So, if you are wondering what you’re doing wrong, because you are creating all the great free content that you see other online business owners creating, and you have a platform, and maybe even some followers… what’s missing here is a significant revenue source.

You can’t live off free products that other brands send you to promote, and you won’t build a sustainable business of any size from dismal Google Ad revenue. (Read that line over a few times until it sinks in)

So that is first, but the second issue is commitment, which is many ways might actually be a bigger issue for an aspiring business owner.

You see, if you started your online brand, but you haven’t really been fully committed to it, you’ve likely only been building a piecemeal version of a business.

You’ve been dabbling, experimenting, and hopefully enjoying yourself in the process.

But if you haven’t fully committed to your idea and declared to yourself that this idea is going to be a business that earns money and has success, then you’ve likely only been putting in a half-hearted effort.

If this is you, I see you!

I totally understand and relate to that feeling that you don’t want to get yourself too invested because you aren’t even sure things will work out.

Here’s the truth though: If you want a business that succeeds in meeting your needs and expectations, you need to get invested and you need to decide that your business is going to work out.

Doing this doesn’t have to be challenging or have to come down to a tremendous investment.

Enrolling in the EMPIRE BUILDING 6 Week Business Accelerator is your opportunity to commit to your business idea once and for all. To make a relatively small investment in yourself and finally put the necessary pieces in place that transform your idea from a hobby to a real business.

I’ve put everything you need to get started into EMPIRE BUILDING.

Everything you need to know about how to create a brand online, how to choose and use platforms, how to attract your ideal customer, and yes, how to sell and earn real revenue for your time and effort! It’s all there in the EMPIRE BUILDING course, ready for you to hit play on the video modules and start following along with activities intended to help you decided and build out each aspect of your business.

In this offer, I’ve included bonuses to help you solve some of the most common business issues:

→ How to create an actionable creative business plan

→ How to spend your time as a business owner through the various stages of business

→ How to manage your mindset and tap into your internal guidance as a business owner

→ How to save time, effort and money on marketing your business through FREE content marketing

And on top of that, during the 6 Week LIVE Business Accelerator, you’ll be getting business coaching and consulting from me everyday through homework, additional content, mindset shifting, Q+A and more!

We even have 3 Live Classes including 2 Hot Seat Coaching Calls where we can talk face to face about your business struggles and get you immediate actionable solutions to help you push through your obstacles.

An opportunity like the Business Accelerator doesn’t come along very often, and it never comes along in this price range.

Six weeks of group coaching with a digital marketing program often costs $2,000- $3,500.

This offer and experience is comfortably under $1,000!

And the reason I can price this experience so well, is because unlike some other online business owners, this work isn’t my only source of income.

Over my past 7+ years as a full time business owner, I’ve built a mostly passive income business that includes numerous products including digital planning tools, workbooks, classes, courses, plus various advertising and affiliate marketing income streams.

So, I’ve been where you are before, and I know how to shift that situation from a fun online hobby to a legitimate revenue producing business.

Let me help guide you and be your on-demand business consultant!

Is your business idea stuck in research mode?

👩🏻‍💻Is your business idea stuck in research mode?

I’m telling you- there was so much good information and actionable strategy in the class…
