Going viral, growing quickly and building your social media presence all sounds like rainbows and butterflies and what a LOT of people say they desire.  But WITH that quick growth can sometimes come backlash, negativity and people straight up leaving nasty comments on your page.   How you handle that criticism is a whole other ballgame and easier said than done, and in this heart to heart I share...

The online space can feel like the wild, wild west sometimes, especially when it comes to creating content on Instagram.   You post and post and post and end up feeling like the bad act at a comedy club…with RADIO SILENCE meeting you on the other end.   A BIG reason I find newer coaches & course creators experience this?   They don't understand the difference between attraction, nurture and sales...

Could you have done this on your own?   ↑The question my husband asked me after I had my first six figure launch (after investing in many coaching programs for 1.5 years).   And the honest answer?

But I refused to let that bad investment stop me from making life changing ones; ones that have helped me have the million dollar business I have today.  In today's bonus #Pr...
