Ashley, I am loving LOVING your book. I'm about to start doing my market research with both who I serve and their bosses who will be paying me. I've been working in my online business for 8 years and I'm SO ready to get in front of people and share my gifts with the world. I'm on Chapter 13 of Speak Your Way To Cash and I'm so excited for the possibilities. This book is about to change my life. I can feel it. So thank you thank you thank you for writing it. I'm about to jump in with two feet. 🧡🧡🧡

Hi Ashley!!! I'm so excited to find out about the volunteer positions - do you know when you'll be reaching out to everyone?

The call came in, and I found out our company was hit with an unexpected multi–six-figure bill. The kind you cannot ignore. My stomach dropped. I hated that for me. I cried. I prayed. And then—I remembered who I am. This company wasn’t handed to me. I didn’t inherit it. I don’t have venture capitalists writing me checks. I built it from the ground up. Every brick. Every contract. Every pitch. Every yes and every no. And with every day of building, I’ve also been building something else: muscle. So after the tears, I went to the gym. Then I drove to my country club. It was closed, but that turned out to be perfect. I blasted my Psalmist Raine Pandora station, pulled out my laptop, and sat down on the terrace overlooking the golf course. It was peaceful. It was just me. And the clarity that came in that moment? The ideas? The peace? It reminded me that every year before this event, I go through something heavy. Something that stretches me. And every time, it’s a signal: the people in that room are about to be fire. Powerhouses. Next-level leaders. People God is preparing me to coach. Because the truth is—growth requires weight. Just like an athlete trains for the Olympics by lifting heavier and heavier, experts train for the real world by carrying the weight of responsibility, resilience, and leadership. So yes—I cried yesterday. But then I asked myself: What would Billion Dollar Ashley do? She’d call in an expert. She’d get a solution. And then she’d keep building. And that’s exactly what I did. This isn’t just business. This is training. And in 23 days, I’ll be standing on stage at The Expert Olympics with a word, a strategy, and a fire that was forged through real trials—not theory. And to make it even more powerful? We’re closing the event with a live gospel concert by the incomparable @PsalmistRaine. The room will be full of experts who refuse to shrink. Experts who are willing to lift the weight. Experts who are ready to step into the arena. If you’re one of them, you need to be there.

You know what frustrates me? Watching brilliant experts walk around with Olympic-level skills but JV-level paychecks. And I get it—because I’ve been there. I had the résumé, the law degree, the corporate career, the accolades. But still, my business didn’t reflect what I KNEW I carried inside. Here’s the truth: If you’re making $100K a year, you should be at $1M. If you’re at $1M, you should be pushing $5M+. The gap isn’t talent. It isn’t credentials. It’s strategy. It’s positioning. It’s sales. I remember sitting in my office at Kirkland & Ellis, looking around at all these brilliant attorneys who could out-argue anyone in court… yet they weren’t wealthy in proportion to their brilliance - even with stellar pay. I was making less than 10% of what was charged for my time by the firm. And that’s how business works so I wasn’t tripping….but… That was my wake-up call: expertise alone doesn’t equal income. Fast forward—when I stepped into entrepreneurship, I decided I would not let my gifts go undervalued again. I built Speak Your Way To Cash® from zero, pitching my way into corporate contracts, raising my rates, and creating offers that matched the VALUE I delivered. Now, I get to help other experts do the same thing. And this October, I’m bringing together 500+ experts from all over the world for The Expert Olympics. Why the “Olympics”? Because this isn’t theory. This is training, execution, and proof. Just like athletes don’t step onto the field without coaching, conditioning, and practice—we’re not letting experts leave this 3-day event without being READY to play at a higher level. This is not your average conference. This is three days of coaching, positioning, and real-time business transformation. 📍 October 2–4, 2025 📍 ATLANTA, GA 📍 500+ experts already registered 📍 Only 10 tickets left If you’re in this group, you should be in that room. Why? Because you don’t join communities like this by accident. You’ve already proven you’ve got the expertise. Now it’s about multiplying it into income, impact, and influence.

Me: Welp, I’m down again. Scale says 209 from 240 and I’m so, so, so happy! This has been one of the hardest and most rewarding journeys ever! I don’t always want to be disciplined in my eating, or go to the gym, or drink my spring water like I should… or remember to eat enough protein. But I’m also committed to being in the best shape of my life—and it’s working‼️‼️‼️ And it feels sustainable because food doesn’t rule my life. I’m not always snacking or looking for food. I’m more focused, and it’s really helped my body confidence. Not only is the weight dropping, but I see a little shape coming in too. I realize now it’s from the weight lifting while also doing more cardio! But the weight loss is from the changed eating. I had to come to the realization that everything isn’t for everybody, so since I’ve started, I haven’t had a cheat meal. I don’t need it. I’ve had cheat meals the last 30 years. I’m going to give myself a few years to just be committed to ME. No cheating. Now, that doesn’t mean I can’t have anything good, but it means a little bite or taste is enough. It’s not worth the slippery slope. Plus, food is supposed to fuel us, not make us slaves to it. And as good as sugar is, it’s so dangerous. Here are some things I’ve learned from Rochelle T. Parks! 🤯 Your body craves what you give it. You don’t just like what you like—it’ll like whatever you feed it. This is so true!!! 🤯 Your body can’t always tell the difference between being thirsty and being hungry, so drink spring water first. 🤯 You can change your gut in 5 days with raw veggies only. For me, this was the most powerful reset and got rid of the cravings. Now, I did 14 days. By day 13 it was hard, but I didn’t crave fried or sugary foods after that. Game changer. And it made eating healthy easier while reincorporating food back into my diet. With exercise and mindful choices, I didn’t gain the weight back. 🤯 Also, if you eat clean, you don’t need to track calories. This nugget was helpful because I don’t have time, y’all! So I focus on living right, not tracking. I’m in a calorie deficit because of what I eat anyways, but I’m also burning a lot of calories from walking and weight lifting.
