How One Mom Turned a Failed Coaching Business into a Thriving Online Empire

Ready to break free from the corporate cage and build a business that gives you true time freedom? 🚀

Ever felt trapped between the corporate grind and the desire to be present for your family? In this vulnerable and inspiring first episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my journey from burned-out pharmaceutical rep to successful online course creator and agency owner. Learn how a devastating $2,000 launch “failure” and $40,000 in debt led to building a thriving 7-figure business that serves course creators worldwide.

“Giving up your time and freedom to make money is so 2009.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Transform your definition of work-life balance and discover the “third door” for ambitious entrepreneurs
  • Navigate the mindset shifts required to go from employee to successful entrepreneur
  • Learn why strategies trump tactics when building a sustainable online course business
  • Discover how hitting rock bottom in business can become your greatest catalyst for growth
  • Master the framework for turning scattered marketing efforts into predictable launch success

Grab your favorite chai latte and join me for this raw, honest conversation about what it really takes to build a freedom-based business! ☕️
