In November 2021, I sent an email to my list with a big, scary announcement. 

I was letting them know that I was retiring my 21 Days to Impact program and my 6-Figure Blog Academy program and integrating them into a single, all-encompassing, deep-dive program that's now the Success With Soul Incubator, which I had launched in March 2021.

Here's the thing: these were my most successful programs. They had allowed me to consistently bring in $50K months on autopilot. The Incubator was in its baby phase. I had no idea if it was going to get traction.

At that time, Indira was our new COO, and she said what I think a lot of people were thinking: What's going on? Why on earth would you let go of what's working in favor of a total unknown?

After all, this move went against ALL the conventional business advice:

• It was removing a known "winner" in favor of an untested offering
• It was putting all my program eggs into one metaphorical basket
• It was not following the standard hierarchy of offering low-, mid-, and high-ticket items

Today, Indira and I are talking about why I decided to do this, why I couldn't push away that draw to try something new in my business (again!), and why I believe taking business risks is an essential part of choosing to be an entrepreneur. 

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• What prompted me to make the decision to let go of my most profitable offerings
• Why I see the ability to deal with risk as one of the most important qualities in a successful entrepreneur
• Why mindset work is so critical as an entrepreneur
• How I feel one year after making the big switch in my biz
