50% of startups fail within their first year of business and 95% fail before they hit year 5.

That is NOT good.

That is NOT okay.

But you have to stop focusing on the WRONG things.

In this episode I'm going to share some things I've never shared before...

• how I FAILED miserably at starting up a business and how you can avoid that;
• what you need to STOP working on immediately;
• and my 5 tips for you to get started on the MOST important thing {at any stage of business}....relationship building.

Making money is great, keeping it is better.

Many of you aren't keeping enough of your hard-earned cash...and there's something you can do about it.

Managing your own money is part of the responsibility of earning it. If you're unwilling to track and budget, then don't expect to make big profits.

Today's guest, Danetha Doe, is a financial strategist who's passionate about teaching her clients the necessary skills they need to manage their hard-earned money. Danetha has a proven track record of helping companies streamline their accounting functions to improve their cash flow and grow their business. Her previous clients have included Google, the San Francisco 49ers, Audi and hundreds of small businesses. In 2015, she was recognized as one of the Top under 40 under 40 accounting professionals by CPA Practice Advisor. A former NFL Cheerleader and fitness instructor, Danetha now resides in her dream condo in the Bay Area of California with her partner, Nick.

Let's talk about why you need to be doing your own books on a weekly basis until you hit $100K in sales annually, then do it on a daily basis until you hit $1M in sales, why you need to calculate your net worth weekly and why most 6-figure business owners are spending more than they should.

Balance isn't real. And if you want to reach your goals and have the success you desire...then you've got to start living an imbalanced life, and be okay with it.

Balance is like a white whale that everyone is searching for, and the actual search for it is what's making you feel less than, inadequate, and defeated.

What if you just let that idea go?

What if you started loving the lack of balance instead and went ALL IN on the thing you're most interested in achieving?

Live your life in seasons, where each season has a highest priority, and everything else falls out of balance a bit so that you can excel at that main thing.

In this episode, I'll be sharing just how imbalanced my life actually is...and the big results I've been rewarded with because of that.

I'd love to hear more about YOUR views on balance -- share them here with me in my FREE FB community.

Mariah Coz has been building businesses since 2008. After being in a touring punk band for a few years, she decided she wanted income in between tours and got started online. She first started out on Etsy selling vintage clothes and sunglasses that she would find at thrift stores for a profit. Then she purchased, renovated, and flipped vintage camper trailers for a few years. Mariah became a public speaker, developed a proprietary curriculum for high school girls that she toured around the country, and even did freelance museum curation. Then, after burning out on selling physical products on Etsy and her crazy speaking/teaching travel schedule, she let go of my profitable, but crazy businesses to pursue "online courses" and get REAL freedom back. Mariah set a goal to replace her Etsy and speaking income with leveraged, passive online courses. 30 days later, Mariah had made $10k selling a course about living in a vintage camper. That was 4 years ago! It changed everything and set her on the path she is on today - helping people turn their weird passions, hobbies and unique skills into leveraged digital products. Now, Mariah runs Femtrepreneur, a 7-figure business that helps badass young women start their own online course businesses so they can lead autonomous, independent lives!

In this episode, Mariah is sharing some of her best tips for getting recognized and building successful and profitable courses in your niche industry, sharing why she loves super small niches for course building, and how you can get started today with your next big idea.
