From Financial Hardship to Confident Business Growth and High-Value Client Packages

Oh my goodness. So my husband had had three strokes in two years. I was left as sole provider and caretaker. My stepfather, who was a huge mentor and support to me, had just passed away. And I was on a journey of how do I put all of this together? And I had received some personal, I'll call it revelation, just kind of download from heaven that told me to pivot my coaching because I've been teaching voice and theater for over 30 years. And I just needed to... Like something inside me was just telling me I needed to change. And that's when I first discovered the five-day challenge. And I knew that was where I needed to be. At the end of the five-day challenge, I just felt so connected to Thrive, so connected to Sharla and the work that they do, just knowing this was the right place because I'd gone through other people who had said that they were heart-centered coaches in business, but this was a true match for me. Well, so my biggest concern was financially. Like I just, I wasn't making ends meet. I was getting help from my church and from the community for food and for rent and like... And so for me to make that jump into Thrive was a pure leap of faith. You know, just one of those, "Okay, here I go. Somebody catch me," kind of things. And it has been not necessarily easy to get the momentum and to keep trying to trust myself in that, but I've been gaining that momentum step by step. And I personally am in such a different place that I have all confidence that all of the financial, all of the everything is just following suit. So what I'm doing now after I have attended the summit is my approach to clients. I am going in to serve, but I'm also boldly asking to join me on a journey of great magnitude that's gonna help them achieve their goals. I think for a long time I was like, "Please, please, please, please work with me." And just like begging, "I'll give you this and I'll give you that." And I have realized that what I have to offer is of huge benefit and huge value. And the other component of that, what I have learned and how I'm working differently, is I'm offering bigger packages. I'm offering bigger offerings so that there's more worth and value in the products that I'm serving. You get more than just one thing. You get a whole bunch of everything moving you forward confidently to achieve your goals and your dreams. I mean, you would think after 30 years and helping thousands of people that I had this confidence, but this knowing of even greater of who I am, that's changed. And that my worth as a coach, my worth as a person is huge, but the weight that has been lifted up from me, yes, I am still sole provider. Yes, I am still caretaker. And I'm having fun doing it all. I'm having fun with my business. I'm having fun interacting with clients. I'm having fun taking care of my husband. And so just knowing that's possible and we're getting just upleveling. Like I feel like I'm upleveling every single month and it's getting better and better. So if you're thinking about joining Thrive Academy, do it. Truly, you won't regret it. Invest in yourself. Invest in your business. Invest in that dream and that goal you have of making the world a better place because we need you. We need your voice. And this is where you'll get the support to help you launch it. It can be scary. Just do it.
