I've received a few messages about my YouTube channel... 

I wanted to record this episode for a bit now and a bite-sized Friday seemed the perfect one to share this. 

It's not all about the YouTube channel, but it kinda is. And why I don't care right now if it sucks and more importantly, what I am focusing on - and what you should too!

Ever wondered how to achieve financial freedom and retire early? Wendy Verwey, a life and money strategist who retired at 41 is joining me today to share her story of how she did it and how you can too - the realistic way! 

For many of us, part of the reason for starting an online business was to achieve that elusive sense of freedom - both in time and money. Wendy is sharing with us some tangible tips and strategies on how you can start to truly feel that today - without a changing a thing - and get yourself closer to your idea of financial freedom and success! 

About Wendy: 
After divorce and death of family members, Wendy Verwey took control of her money once and for all and was able to retire at 41, as a single mom.

How did she do it? By SIMPLIFYING her life. Wendy used her F.R.E.E. framework to create a life she doesn't need a vacation from.

Now as the host of the FIRE Yourself First podcast and her online courses, she teaches and inspires others to use what they know, have and do to create freedom for themselves!

I can look at your offer suite and identify multiple areas where you could immediately be making more sales WITHOUT launching anything extra or creating more offers... and today's tip is one way you can do that! 

I just did this with a client of mine to add an additional option for her to make extra sales at the end of her launch, using what she already has in her offer suite and adding this option to the automated email sequence that was already sending to sell the main offer! 

No extra work, but maximized sales! 

Join me on August 29 when I'm teaching how you can you do this in your business too! 
I'm going through upsells, downsells, and tripwires in my new masterclass: 

Secret Sales Strategies Missing in Your Business that DON'T Require Launching 

And don't worry if you are confused by what any of that means - I'm here to make it all make sense so you can implement this immediately in your business and start making more sales!!
