In this episode, Steve, Mary, Richard, and Angela discuss:

• How she built her business to $3M originally with no website
• Her journey through education, into academia, and into creating The Author Incubator
• What Angela learned from her first $60K coach
• Moving from a solopreneur with 17 years of experience to a repeatable process and a company

Key Takeaways:

• Be willing to suck
• Practice every single day. Do your personal growth work every single day
• However someone shows up in the sales process is how they’ll show up when you work with them
• What determines your success or failure is your commitment to serving others and actually making a difference with your message, your product, your movement
