if everything you were afraid to do , you did anyways . Where would you be ?
You have to jump boo . There ’ s no other way around it . But I ’ m telling you girl , once you jump and succeed or once you jump and fail the opportunities beyond that fear are endless !!!
Upon my return from Boston I had a new energy and a plan . I would get in front of as many people as possible and teach them online marketing strategies they could implement . Just little nuggets , nothing too complicated . I spoke in front of small business owners , mom and pop shops , solopreneurs ; anyone who would listen really .
I remember my first gig ; I spoke in front of about 40 people . Now this was a Constant Contact event , so they brought the traffic to me . I don ’ t want you to get it twisted and think on her first try she got 40 people ! Say whuuuuuut ? Uh uh hell to nawh boo . Soon enough I had to set up my own gigs . I once drove 2 hours to speak in front of
2 people for no money ! # dues paid Which leads me to …
THE SECRET TO MY SUCCESS # 2
“ I worked my ass off !”
Everything I consult my clients on , I have done myself . I had to get techy . I built my website , I started my own email marketing program , I created my opt-ins , set up my funnels , drew traffic to them , I wrote my blogs , created webinars , again I drove traffic to them . I had to master Facebook , LinkedIn , Instagram , Video Marketing , how to create killer content . I learned how to engage with my community through social challenges , more webinars , speaking engagements , livestreams . And after all that I had to sell . I needed to earn my client ’ s trust that I could actually help them . And I have .
My son is now 4 years old . I have been in business for myself for over 5 years now . I have a roster of clients who cannot wait to work with me , and the feeling is very much mutual . I have conferences , event producers asking me back to speak at their AH-MAZING women conferences .
Yes I can teach you marketing strategies , launches , funnels , content marketing . But the most transformational work I do comes from pushing my clients to do more .
It comes when they face their fear , own who they are , believe that they can do it and embody the person they desire to be NOW .
There ’ s a real femme fatale movement happening in the online world . You feel it right ? And I am so fucking ecstatic to be a part of it . To anyone still reading this ; if you ever had the drive , the pull , the inspiration , the inclination to start something … JUMP !
You ’ ll be amazed at the places you ’ ll land .
