The interview
What was your situation before joining Thrive Academy?
I am a certified business coach and I had reached a point where I was seeing success, but it was starting to level off and it was time to ramp it up a little bit. I saw Sharla's five-day challenge because my social media needed to be a little bit more spiced up and authentic.
What shifted for you during the initial five-day challenge and the three-day summit?
The five-day challenge shifted how I looked at social media and gave me authenticity. During the three-day summit, things started to click. The system and the way the conversation flowed were really valuable. It added new layers to my storytelling and my ability to connect more authentically with my audience.
When did you start seeing tangible results?
That was literally day one of the summit. I did everything they said to do on day one. By day two, I was seeing responses in the connections I was making, not just at the summit, but online. That made me realize there was some magic here and I needed to keep taking the steps they told me to take.
What made you finally decide to join the Academy?
The value and information presented during the three days made absolute sense. You could use what they gave you to gain momentum, or join the Academy to 10x that momentum. Meeting people at the summit who were already in the Academy and hearing them share why they kept coming back made it an easy decision.
How has the community support been since you joined?
I'm coming up on my one-year anniversary and I'm staying because the community gets better and better. I get help every week, multiple times a week, and specific coaching sessions once a month. Building a team of fellow members for accountability has helped me stay in the game.
What specific business results have you achieved?
I doubled my impact and then I was able to double it again through the Thrive Academy. I have had multiple months of $10k and then $10k plus. It came down to remembering to do the simple things using their systems so that the bigger things would happen.
How has this journey affected your personal life?
Personally, I made a commitment to take better care of myself and my health journey has improved. I have better boundaries now, I'm traveling more, and I'm there when my children and family need me. Thrive Academy taught me to build the business for myself and my family, not just to put all my energy into other people.
