I quit my job when I couldn't pay my bills (true story)
|
3 years ago today, I was in a pretty dark place
So naturally, I did what any rational person would do... I quit my job. I moved my family across the country and went all-in on myself. Everyone thought I'd lost it. (Including my parents) But here's what happened next:
This week marks my 3-year anniversary of that insane decision. So I did something I haven't done in 4 years... Recorded a solo podcast episode. Zero edits. Just my raw thoughts on how I went from rock bottom to building the business (and life) I actually wanted. Including:

Here’s what shocked me: 4 people first discovered me because I presented inside communities they were already part of(and...
I go to the gym every morning. Part of my workout is a 30-40 minute cardio session. I used to do the treadmill, but I hurt my ankle, so I've been on the elliptical. (I'm getting old.) 😢 For the last 3 years, while I do cardio, I've been watching TV shows. I decided to change that up this year. Started last week. Instead of TV shows, I've been watching YouTube videos. All stuff related to my business. How to create better content, how to generate more leads, trends in the social media world I...
