When Karolina first started her business, she would reach an uncomfortable edge every time she had to invest into it.

Even the very first $20 domain name made her nervous.

But she realized over time, that in the online coaching and education business, you have some of the lowest expenses and startup costs of any business model.

You don't have to invest in office space, get a lease, pay for cost of goods, production or factories, tons of employees, etc.

Most traditional business models require $500,000 - $1,000,000 in upfront investments to just get the business off the ground.

But the one thing she realized is the biggest and most important investment?

Education and mentorship.

Education into your skills and your business know-how.

For Karolina, her vision for Euphoric started to take shape while she was working full-time. Hear how much she saved from her paycheck every month, how nervous she was to invest in each program, certification, or coaching she took, and how she's come to realize that continually investing in your skills and business know-how is the lifeblood of your company.

Furthering your skills (as a coach) and your business and marketing know-how is literally the most important investment in the business, and the only real big expense in an otherwise low-cost business model.

Over the years, Karolina has poured over $200,000 into education, coaching, and personal development, with phenomenal returns grossing well over a million dollars in revenue!

But how did she get there? In this episode, we'll start at the beginning and normalize each stage of creating a wildly successful online business.

You'll hear her favorite hacks for making your first business investments, and how to get your partner on board.

Believing in your vision fiercely is the type of commitment that will lead you to unparalleled growth and transformation.

If you're ready to go all in, apply for the "Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program" – which includes FIVE certifications in different modalities and an all expenses paid weekend retreat!

Don't miss your chance to apply now and join the Fall 2024 cohort, which starts in mid- October.

And tune in next week for Part 2 of this episode.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why the online education/coaching space has some of the lowest start up and maintenance costs of any business model, but why investing in this one area is a must
• How to make "courageous" investments and bet on yourself, whether for a $20 domain name, or a higher ticket coaching program
• How Karolina took the leap from full-time employment to running her own business, and how much she leveraged from every paycheck to get there
• Why you have to 100% believe in yourself and have conviction, without wavering for a second on your vision
• The "burning the boats" mentality and how making a decisive commitment to your purpose can propel your success!

In honor of dry July, Karolina is debunking the most common myths and objections about going alcohol-free.

What if everything you believed about "normal drinking" was a lie?

Society puts "normal drinking" on a pedestal: the cultured person who enjoys just one glass of wine over a nice dinner. But is this achievable or even desirable?

It turns out that 60% of regular drinkers overdrink, and it's also been proven that 40% to 50% of our drinking is underreported.

And drinking doesn't feel good - would you rather be someone who drinks normally and never gets the wake up call? Or would you rather be a person who gets the negative consequence, reevaluates alcohol, and wakes up to the life you were really supposed to live?

When you join Karolina's 22-day Dry Bootcamp, you'll learn how to relax and have fun without alcohol, build a sustainable, alcohol-free lifestyle, and discover your deeper why. Plus, you'll get all the guides, rituals, and meditations to help you connect to your higher self. We start August 6th. Sign up for just $59!

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why "normal drinking" is actually a myth and why what society views as normal is often an unhealthy illusion

• The majority of people underreport their alcohol consumption by 40% to 50% (!), plus, what this means for your perceptions of "moderate" drinking

• How intuition and listening to your body's signals will shift you into greater confidence, courage, and purpose

• The REAL impact of even a single drink on your body (think disrupted sleep cycles and metabolic changes!)

• A sneak peek into Karolina's 22-day Dry Bootcamp, which starts August 6th. Break free from alcohol and align with your highest self.
