      • Episode 100 - From Food Stamps To 6-Figure Business In Under One Year with Dr. Amanda Barrientez

        Join Andrew Lees, Clint McPherson, and their guest Dr. Amanda Barrientez as she shares her experience on how one shift in thought can lead to your next six-figure business (or seven). Dr. Amanda speaks about the curse of the comfort zone, a common limiting block for most entrepreneurs, the zone where you have the highest money-making potential, and more. As a coach, she believes that an entrepreneur can't be someone who's too comfortable. In her own experience with different clients, Dr. Amanda observed that the slowest transition always comes from the most comfortable individuals.

        In this episode you will learn:

        • The point where most entrepreneurs give up
        • How Amanda started her coaching business
        • Optimal growth happens at the border of challenge and support
        • Let go of your fear of market saturation!
        • Dr. Amanda Barrientez – on learning how to trust the process as an entrepreneur
        • And so much more!
        • About Dr. Amanda Barrientez:

          Dr. Amanda Barrientez is the founder of NFA - No Fucking Around - Money. She's known as "The Money Healer" because she's an expert at teaching entrepreneurs how to heal their relationship with money so they can work less, make more, and build successful lives and businesses.

          Why this business? Because Amanda knows what it's like to feel SCARED and STUCK in a SURVIVAL MODE! When she started her business, Amanda was on food stamps and had a lot of limiting beliefs about women being disempowered money makers. One night, when she was on the floor crying, she made a decision that she was willing to do whatever it took to change her reality.

          This led Amanda to learn about her unconscious money blocks and build a six-figure business fast.

          It's what she calls Competing Commitments™ - when your unconscious and conscious beliefs are battling each other - that keep you in fear, uncertainty, and doubt and feeling out of control about your reality.

          Amanda is certain that once you learn how to break through your unconscious money blocks, you will have the power and control to work less, make more, and be a successful business owner who has more time and money freedom.

Her inner entrepreneurial spirit traveled with her, and she created a successful computer consulting business with her husband, Jon.
