Y’all got time for a story?! 😭😭 I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was sitting at my desk at my $300,000-a-year corporate attorney job, staring at the life I had built and realizing God was nudging me toward something completely different. It made no sense. I had worked hard for this. Since I was a little girl I had one goal: to become a lawyer. And I loved it. The title. The salary. The “security.” But the whisper in my spirit was louder than my fear: Go. I left. I had no clue that decision would lead me here. No business plan that mapped out a multimillion-dollar company. No crystal ball showing me how we’d pay close to 20 people each month, the contractors, the employees with benefits, the global community of experts looking to us for guidance. All I had was the next step. We started in a small conference room with 10 people, answering the question everyone kept asking me: “How do you keep getting paid to speak?” That tiny workshop turned into Speak Your Way To Cash®. Now we train experts worldwide on how to sell their expertise to companies large and small. And we’re good at what we do. Our clients are winning! And that matters more than any award we could win! And for the second year in a row, we’ve made @incmagazine’s prestigious list of the fastest-growing companies in America—this year ranking in the top 24% of the list. Growing a company is not easy. It is hard, humbling, and self-less work. As the CEO you sacrifice first and are sometimes rewarded last. But being recognized alongside powerhouse companies reminds me why we keep going. To every expert, every entrepreneur reading this—maybe you do not know how to build what God has placed in your heart. Do not let that stop you. Take the next step. You never know where it might lead. It might just be a life you never even dreamed of. P.S. We’re hosting our night Speak Your Way To Cash live event and it’s not 10 people in a conference room anymore now it’ll be about 400+ experts in a ballroom learning sales, marketing and operations. You should be there!

I’ve seen a lot of talk about Alex Hormozi’s presentation. Some say they knew all that stuff already. Some say it was masterful. I agree that it was epic. His gift isn’t just that he KNOWS business it’s that he KNOWS how to communicate these concepts brilliantly. That’s a separate tactic. Plus, if everyone already knew how to do that, they too would have broken a world record….. I think we should all be okay saying when someone is operating on a high level brilliantly. Business isn’t just about knowing stuff, it’s about high level execution. To know is one thing. But to do is another. That man executed so brilliantly and there’s nothing wrong with simply acknowledging that point. I saw my girl Lattice Hudson post something similar and couldn’t agree more - she was basically like don’t be a hater. Congrats to Alex Hormozi and the whole team on a flawless launch. Taking notes because I know there’s new levels that can be unlocked in this game of business. Want my thoughts on the launch?
