First live event? ~10 people showed up. Second event? ~30 people. Third event? ~15 people. A at Fourth event? ~20 people. I kept asking myself: “Will anyone show up?” That little voice was always there. Not loud enough to stop me, but loud enough to make me doubt. Here’s what happened when I pushed through anyway: Event 5 → ~115 people Event 6 → ~100 people Event 7 → ~275 people Event 8 → ~175 people Event 9 → ~500 people The pattern is always the same: Suck → Struggle → Improve → Succeed Most people quit at “struggle” The winners? They expect it. They push through it. I’ve learned this: the more I create, the more I sell, the more I remember— I’ve been here before. I’ve done hard things before. And every time I keep going, the numbers prove me right. That’s why I’ll never quit. 👉 And it’s why Speak Your Way To Cash® Live is still growing.

#longpost but there’s #GOLD in here!! ⬇️⬇️ Let’s say everything’s gone. No brand. No list. No followers. No team. Just me, my laptop, and my track record of building a multi–seven-figure business from the ground up. If I had to start all over today, here’s exactly how I’d rebuild—to hit $500K in 6 months and $1 million within 12 months. This isn’t theory. This is strategy with receipts. And whether you’re just starting or restarting, this will work for any service-based expert—especially if you’re selling to companies. Step 1: Build a Tiered Offer That’s Easy to Sell and Scale Before anything else, I’d build one core offer with three strategic tiers. No piecemeal pricing. No “custom” everything. Just clear packaging that solves a real problem. Here’s what it looks like: 1. Sales Strategy Audit→ Analyze the company’s current process, people, and pipeline 2. Sales Team Training→ Virtual or on-site sessions customized to the audit results 3. Licensing & Ongoing Curriculum→ Retainer or white-labeled curriculum with quarterly optimization The base investment? $25,000 minimum - $10K down, $15K post-delivery - Top tier could easily hit $40K–$60K, especially with licensing Want to know how to make $1M with this offer? Just sell 40 packages at $25K each. That’s it. That’s 3–4 clients a month and you’re there in a year. Step 2: Wrap That Offer in a Framework That Sells You can’t just have a service. You need a signature system that makes it easy for people to understand the how behind your wow. If my topic is sales, I’d brand a 3–5 step framework for building high-performance sales teams. This becomes the basis of: - My live events - My content - My pitches - My presentations Framework = confidence for the buyer. Framework = authority for the seller. Step 3: Build a Target List of 100 Companies (With Strategy) I’d go after 100 companies with at least 100 people on their sales team—because I know they: - Have the budget - Have the problem - Need the solution I sell

We are way too sensitive right now. Too defensive. Too quick to protect our feelings—even if it costs us the truth. But here’s the danger: That mindset kills growth. It stalls businesses. It keeps experts playing small. —> 5.5 million new business applications were filed in 2023 (U.S. Census). —> Resilience scores in the U.S. dropped 15% since 2020 (American Psychological Association). —> 2 out of 3 small business owners say they feel burned out or unsupported (Xero Report). So what are we doing? More people want to be builders. But fewer want to be coached. And feedback? It feels like an attack now. But listen—your business doesn’t care about your feelings. And if you want to lead, get paid, and make impact, you need someone who can coach you up, not coddle you. I told my coach: “You have full permission to check me if you see anything in my character or business that’s holding me back.” That’s not ego. That’s hunger. Ida B. Wells said it best: “Tell the world the facts.” So here are the facts: —> Every Olympic-level athlete works with 5–10 coaches (Forbes). —> Every world champion has someone in their corner pushing them to the edge of their potential. Which brings me to this: 🎤 Speak Your Way To Cash® Live This year’s theme is The Expert Olympics. 365 experts have already committed to this 3-day experience. We’re searching for 150 more who are ready to be coached, called up, and paid well for what they know. If that’s you? Come ready. —> Early bird ends July 31st at midnight.

Hey y'all! So, the other day I was looking for the customer GPT. @Ashley Kirkwood stopped by to tell me that I could only have access if I was paid member (which I am). Once I remembered that, I jumped over to the FB group, read through a few things, and boom...I signed back into my training (that I had not completed 😑) Anyway, today, I made up in my mind that I would get through as many as I could, be focused, take notes etc. The results: I jammed through 4 of the trainings, found the custom GPT, created my 3 tier offer, created the 60 questions using my new content pillars for LinkedIn, created a content calendar for the month of June, and lastly created the voice note pitch I will use for my warm market. I WAS WORKING TODAY Y'ALL! LOL! Now, tomorrow, I will be working on the numbers I want to hit for the month, plus my activity goals. I'm finally getting out of my OWN way and it feels good. Thanks for the push, Ashley! :)
