Truthfully, I didn't invest $10k into my coach to ask her a bazillion basic biz building questions.
I invested that much into her to RISE, to grow to my new level... or in other words, to work through the internal stuff that was holding me back (such as struggling to raise my prices, align my product suite, generate more consistent sales, show up more publicly and overcome my fear of being told "I'm not needed", minimising burnout, mastering the art of working less and earning more, and just experiencing more successful in my biz overall.)
You know, stuff other than "how to set up a website" and "what font should I use" and "what day should I launch". Also, spoiler alert, if THESE are the kinds of questions you're asking your coaches, then no wonder you don't see the value of investing high four figures into coaching, and you're TOTALLY wasting your investment.
ASK BETTER QUESTIONS!
This episode is where I spill all my thoughts and feelings on this topic: what high level coaching REALLY is and how it's soooo significantly different to low ticket offers, what it means and takes to really invest in yourself at a high level, and the required moves to GROW + how to make those big, bold moves from a place of full bodied trust and confidence.

In this week's episode, I’m sharing six reasons why people might not be buying your book that have NOTHING to do with price.
Grab and pen and get ready to audit your entire book production, publishing and marketing process, because by honing in on these six things I can almost guarantee that you’re going to pinpoint the problem as to why your book hasn’t been selling before you ever get on a call with me.
PLUS, I’m sharing why “convincing” people to buy your book and discounting your book price is NOT where it’s at, and why people tend to revert to doing these things when they’re trying to troubleshoot book sales.

In this week's episode, I’m going on a RANT! 🔥🔥🔥
If you missed it, I got hacked in December of 2021, lost access to my Amazon account and had all my bank accounts drained. I’ve since gotten my money back but I have NOT yet gotten access back to my Amazon account (I originally recorded this episode in March 2022, but even as of June 2022, I’m still fighting to get access back to my account.)
So today’s episode is a big fat discussion on why it’s soooo important to NOT have all of your eggs in one basket (looking at you, Amazon KDP exclusive authors), why I strongly recommend having a strategy for going wide with your books, AND how not having access to Amazon has actually impacted me from the consumer side of things and some very interesting statistics and findings that might shock you as an Amazon exclusive author. In short, if you’re struggling to sell books, the reason why could be as simple as you not being easily accessible to readers…

Tune into this episode to uncover some nuggets of truth about my backstory and upbringing that have shaped my beliefs, and real examples of when I’ve observed people hiding behind excuses vs stretching themselves and accomplishing their goals.
