026: Why I Don't Want You to Be a High-Ticket Closer (I Want You to Own the Business) with Dr. Kela Smith

Are you focused on making more money, but not thinking about what you're actually building? You can earn a strong income through high-ticket sales, but there's a bigger opportunity: building a business, offer, and assets you actually own.

Dr. Kela Smith explains why high-ticket sales is an important skill, but shouldn't be the end goal for an entrepreneur. You'll learn how owning your offers, programs, intellectual property, brand, and systems can give you more control over your income and future, and how to start thinking like a CEO who builds for long-term value, impact, and wealth.

👉 Don't just focus on making more money. Build something that creates value for years.
