6 Years in Business: My Mistakes + Triumphs

My business has survived another trip around the sun! Will you join me in this episode to celebrate six years in business?

My anniversary gift to you is a look under the hood of my business. You know we keep it real here, so I’m sharing the triumphs and the flops, including the $30,000 mistake I made when I first started… yikes. You’ll also hear my tips for creating more revenue, building the life you want, and leading your legacy.

I’m excited to share my wins with you, but if you want to hear all of my juiciest mistakes, be sure to stay tuned to the end.

What We Cover in This Episode:

  • How I’ve learned to define success for myself 
  • My biggest triumphs in the last six years  
  • Reflective questions to ask yourself 
  • Creating a business that works around the life you want 
  • Where my leads come from 
  • Why you should diversify your income stream
  • The biggest mistakes I’ve made over the last six years 
  • Why you should avoid hiring people just like you

I want you to take this opportunity to ask yourself what you want your life to look like and what needs to change to achieve that. I’m sharing several questions in this episode that will help you with this exercise, so grab a pen and paper, write them down, and really spend some time with this. I’m glad that the lessons I’ve learned over six years in business have brought me closer to the life I want to be living, and I want the same for you.
