Ready Yet?! With Erin Marcus

For years I’ve witnessed entrepreneurs and small business owners not have the business they want to have….not have the impact they want to have……not have the life they want to have. And it’s not because they weren’t smart enough or good enough at what they do. The truth of it is that the biggest thing holding us all back from the amazing things that are possible is US! That’s right. Whether we realize it or not, we do this to ourselves! This podcast is dedicated to those people who are ready to be more…do more….step into more.

I'm Ready Interview Series Feat. Amira Alvarez: Welcome to the voice in my head

Today is a special treat for me, as I'm joined by Amira Alvarez. I could go on and on about what Amira has done for me, but instead let me tell you what she hasn't done. She hasn't bought into any of my reasons for wanting to limit myself. She hasn't faltered in her belief of what I'm capable of doing especially when I have no idea why she believes it. She hasn't stopped pushing me to better my best at every turn possible. And above all - she has never given up on me or let me give up on myself....
