Digital Business Breakthrough

The other night I was watching this documentary on David Foster. For those of you who do not know him, he is a legend of a music producer and behind the names of NUMEROUS music LEGENDS like...Madonna, Celene Dion, Micheal Buble, Josh Groban, and Michael Jackson to name a few…What he said shocked me and I realized this is true for everyone no matter how much money or success you have…

In Today's episode, we are talking about financial planning for your business and your family. I don't know about you, but I love reflecting on my past year and setting goals for the new year ahead.

This past year has been massive for me. It’s my first full calendar year out on my own since leaving as an executive to a multi-million dollar digital marketing agency.  Boy oh boy, my friends, there has been so much growth, not only for me but the few clients I work with. I want to share with you something that I know helped get me to this level of success and I know it will continue to serve me as I build a seven-figure business. 

Everyone, even myself, has faced fear at some point and what is so interesting is according to a 2016 survey, an estimated 34.2 million Americans experience some type of phobia. The most common is the fear of personal failure. WHAAAAAT. If the most common fear is of personal failure then that is something we need to talk about!

I was recently talking with someone who had a hard break-up and this person was a hot mess. They kept saying how much they felt like a failure. Listen now as I share my advice to him, how I rebounded from losing millions of dollars, how I taught my daughter to visit her deceased great-grandmother, and SO MUCH MORE!

Hello my friends, I don’t know how it came up so quickly but the holiday season is in full swing and this year will not be like other years. I wanted to talk about being present for the holidays this year and how to show up differently. Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the decorations but more importantly, I LOVEEEEE our traditions. We have traditions we do as an immediate family and traditions we do with our extended family and this year will be different to say the least. 

As a busy mom and entrepreneur, I always need to remind myself to slow down around the holidays and soak it all in. In this episode, I cover 3 ways you can show up and be present this year that will make your heart happy.

Have you ever had fear of failure hold you back or maybe you are like me and had some massive failures that left you traumatized to try again? Well if either is the case today we are going to put that crap to bed so that it doesn’t have a hold on you any longer. Today we are going to redefine the "F" word!

Here is the thing...in society we are not taught to celebrate failure. We are taught from a young age that it is bad and wrong and we should feel horrible about it. The truth is failure is part of success. As long as we learn from it we should celebrate it.

In today's episode, I chat with Ashley Buffa, home systems extraordinaire, and mother to 10.

When we met Ashley had some past experience using Ads for her business but there were a lot of loose ends that needed tying up. She was ready to spend money on ads and gather as much data as possible with the expectation of losing her initial spend. Much to Ashley's surprise, she ended up making all her money back PLUS the first time we worked together.

After working together Ashley was able to leave her job at Click Funnels and pursue her own successful business full time.

Ashley and I chat about the magic of Ads and she shares her best advice for everyone just starting out.

Today's episode is going to help you find the confidence in yourself to put yourself out there or keep putting yourself out there no matter what happens.

Putting yourself out there is uncomfortable but extremely rewarding. It’s so easy to think of all the million reasons why you shouldn’t do it. If you go there and let your worst-case scenarios play out in your head and you figure your way through them they no longer have power over you.

The truth is most people aren't afraid of failure they are really afraid of success and they don’t even know it! It’s so unfamiliar and scary and your brain likes to keep you safe and protected.

So how do you start believing in yourself?

Tune in to today's episode and hear how I gained my confidence back and moved towards success in business again.

[ 1:40 ] I know what it's like to hide.
