In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and getting real about what it’s like to be the underdog in online business. I share my journey from running a small salon to becoming an online coach—and trust me, it wasn’t smooth or glamorous. I flopped more times than I want to admit, but each failure taught me something I now get to pass on to you.

I talk about the biggest misconceptions floating around in the online business world—the million-dollar funnels, the obsession with vanity metrics, and the grind-until-you-drop hustle culture. These things sound flashy, but they’re not what creates real, lasting success.

Instead, I’ll show you why authenticity matters more than follower counts, why clarity beats hustle every single time, and why starting messy is so much better than not starting at all. Because here’s the truth: you don’t need a huge team or a perfect plan—you just need to own your path, get clear on your goals, and start taking imperfect action.

✨ Takeaways you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why I’ll always identify as an underdog in business.

• The real challenges of going from salon owner to online coach.

• The truth about social media overwhelm and misleading success metrics.

• Why authenticity builds trust (and sales).

• How hustle culture keeps entrepreneurs stuck in burnout.

• The power of clarity when setting business goals.

• How to start building your dream clientele with simple, strategic steps.

• Why starting messy is the best way forward.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit the mold of those big flashy mentors, this episode is going to hit home.

Ever feel like you’re stuck using just a fraction of your potential? Same.

In this episode, I get super real about a Napoleon Hill quote that stopped me in my tracks: “Most people use only 10% of their mental capacity and wonder why success eludes them.”

That line made me pause because — how many times have you thought, “I know I’m capable of more, but why can’t I break through?”

So today, I’m breaking down:

• What Hill really meant by unlocking the other 90%

• The power of auto-suggestion (and how I used Post-it notes to drop 36 lbs of pregnancy weight)

• How a modern psychologist would explain the same thing in today’s terms

• My zipline-in-Vegas story that proves you can trick your brain into confidence

• Practical steps you can take today to actually train your subconscious

This isn’t woo-woo. It’s about learning how to get your mind to finally work for you, not against you.

Tune in — because you’re sitting on more power than you realize.

In this episode of the Goalpreneur podcast, I’m breaking down one of the biggest misconceptions about starting an online business: the idea that you need a niche before you can begin. Spoiler… you don’t.

I share why action matters more than labels, how to spot real problems to solve, and why clarity only comes from actually doing the work. My goal is to help you lean on your own skills and pay attention to what your audience really needs—without getting stuck in perfectionism or the pressure to box yourself in.

If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect niche,” this episode will give you the push to start creating and selling with confidence.
