So here’s the truth most people won’t say out loud:

It’s worth the read if you want to get unstuck and feel like you’re already doing many of the business things we teach but still off track - Scaling your business isn’t just about learning business. To be an Olympic level expert (which is the theme for Speak Your Way To Cash® Live) you need more than business knowledge…

When I really started growing—like multi-seven-figures, team-building, legacy-level growth—there were three key things that helped me scale that had nothing to do with sales strategies.

And I want to share them with you right here:

👉🏾 1. Believing I could grow a big business.

I’m not talking about writing a goal down and calling it manifestation.

I mean truly, deeply believing it was mine.

I stopped idolizing other people’s growth and started expecting mine. I had to train my mind to believe that what I saw in prayer, in my imagination, and in my dreams was already mine—even before it made sense on paper.

👉🏾 2. Only keeping friends and colleagues around who wouldn’t discourage me.

Low key: the more I believed in myself, the more I noticed how uncomfortable that made other people in discouraging me.

But I had to choose growth over comfort—every time.

I stopped explaining myself to people who were committed to misunderstanding me and started nurturing relationships with folks who could hold space for my ambition without shrinking me.

👉🏾 3. Buying information. I don’t have to know everything.

My coach once told me,

“In 10 years of running this program, Ashley asks the best questions.” My coach told me that yesterday on a panel and that stuck with me.

I made a decision to stop performing like I had all the answers and instead ask better questions and buy better mentorship.

Because the quality of your questions determines the quality of your life.

I became confident enough to look small in the room (and ask for help)…

And comfy enough with my assignment to ACT big anyway. 🤷‍♀️

💥 BONUS: Want to know what I study beyond business to build unshakable confidence? Here are 3 things:

1️⃣The Bible.I don’t rely on cultural opinions to tell me what’s holy or permissible—I go to the source.Because the devil would love for me to be ignorant of what the Bible actually says.Why? Because the less I know, the more he can play games, sow doubt, and plant seeds that aren’t scriptural.But once you know how to find what God says, you can’t be manipulated easily—not by fear, society, or anybody else in business.

2️⃣History.Studying the strength and resilience of Black leaders and ancestors reminds me—when I feel like I can’t, I remember:They already did.So I can.It fuels me when I feel tired, discouraged, or overwhelmed. It’s proof of what’s possible.

3️⃣Science.Because the mind is powerful. The nervous system holds patterns. And success often lives in understanding how we’re wired—so we can re-wire for peace, productivity, and power.

Y’all, this is what scaling really looks like.

And, over the next 90-days I’m taking you behind the scenes on my health journey. I’m literally only eating raw veggies to discipline my body against the sugar addiction I’ve developed. I’m not a candy and cake girly but would eat a bag of cherries a day, so I PAID for health coaching and am ridding myself of all that sugar this is the longest I’ve gone raw veggies and I feel great ( a little hungry) but overall doing well! And down 12 lbs in June without medication - just whole raw foods!

I do something called method speaking, when I’m gearing up for an event with a theme I’m all in on it. I eat, breath and sleep in accordance with that preparation and now I’m getting in my mental toughness athlete bag! Because YOU need a transformation in your discipline and if I’m leading it I have to lead it well!
