(STRATEGY WITH MEG) What really helped me 5x my income in 2 yrs

Could you have done this on your own? ↑The question my husband asked me after I had my first six figure launch (after investing in many coaching programs for 1.5 years). And the honest answer? Maybe EVENTUALLY, but on the timeline I achieved that success? No way. The thing about investing in coaching people don’t tell you in your first year of business… You need to continually invest money back into your business for it to grow to keep up that momentum. But it’s not always about investing more e...

(SOSA CLIENT CASE STUDY) 12K TikTok followers, 5x coaching rates + more

Investing after you’ve “been burned” is no easy feat. Your trust is gone and you have your guard up. I’m no novice to disappointing investments, having made a BIG one a few years ago that set me back $18,500 (to the dollar). But I refused to let that bad investment stop me from making life changing ones; ones that have helped me have the million dollar business I have today. In today’s bonus #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur podcast episode, one of our recent SOSA graduates, Laura, shares how she was ...

(STRATEGY WITH MEG) How to make the jump from $1k-$5K months: ACTIVATION CONTENT

How do I make the jump from $1K-$5K months? ↑A question I get asked A LOT from newer coaches.

So how do you start leveraging social media to bring in clients? By ACTIVATING your audience with magnetic, hand-raiser type of content. And today’s podcast episode is ALL about how to start creating this type...

I hope this inspires you to see the bigger ...

(Heart to Heart) How to know if you should push through or pivot

This heart to heart is SO timely for not only me but a few of my clients as well who are dealing with A LOT in their business and personal life.
