In this episode, I will be diving into some of the business styles or platforms that I've personally used to develop a multi eight-figure business while still balancing life.

If you're here to make money, or if you are here to build the online dream brand, you are in the right spot, because that's what I like to show you how to make money, put it in your pocket, and afford to live your Because I Can life. There are so many ways to make it happen, and I bet you've heard different things about building a business online, that leaves your head spinning. Maybe you've started to wonder if only unicorns of the world are the ones actually making money online. Maybe you are actually starting to hate unicorns.

There are many promises out there of how to make big bucks and get rich quick, and it can leave you with all sorts of emotions. Like, are they lying? Is this too good to be true? Or on the flip side, it takes you down the slippery slope of thinking that there might just be something wrong with you, because you haven't gotten it yet, whatever that is in your head that you're dreaming about. Do you ever feel that way?

Now, to be honest with you, I know that I felt this way when I first got started and it was a black cloud. When you hear all these success stories and you're still trying to figure out how to set up your first website, it's like a slap upside the head, and you feel like you're getting further and further behind each day.

I'm here to tell you the truth about building a business, what it's like and show you how you can fit it in while you're still managing your sanity and trying to be the best mom that you can be.

I know there are other ways to make money online out there, but I know for a fact that what I'm about to tell you works, because not only I have done it, I've also watched others do it. Stay tuned to know more.
