In this powerful episode, I share my personal journey of transformation from struggling business owner to consistent $10K months while learning to be the present mom I wanted to be for my growing toddler.

After investing $25,000 in a coaching program (that honestly… I couldn't afford at the time!), I was forced to get brutally honest about what wasn't working in my business. This led me to eliminate 80% of what I was doing and focus only on the 20% that actually moved the needle. Long story short, this forced me to get brutally honest on what ACTUALLY worked, and what was holding me back.

What You'll Learn:

  • My turning point moment in May 2024 that changed everything
  • The 5 specific things I let go of to finally cross the six-figure mark
  • How I cut my work hours from 50+ hours to less than 4 hours per day
  • The identity shift that unlocked my business potential
  • Why comfortable business practices are keeping you stuck
  • How investing in yourself creates non-linear growth
  • The abundance mindset that replaced my scarcity thinking

Key Takeaways:

  • Time vs. Money: Why "paying with your time" keeps you stuck
  • Energy-Based Productivity: Working during your high-energy hours multiplies results
  • Zone of Competence vs. Zone of Genius: Why your comfort zone is holding you back
  • The 80/20 Rule in Action: Real examples of eliminating the unnecessary
  • Identity Evolution: The critical shift from cello teacher to business owner
