The interview
What was your business situation before finding Thrive Academy?
My business is Empower Your Life First. When I found Thrive Academy, I was looking to grow my business and I was having difficulty, quite frankly. I had successful years prior, and I was looking for a laid-back, easier way, which put me into high-end coaching. Thrive was not my first high-end coaching, but it was the one that made things work.
What made you decide to join Thrive Academy specifically?
What made me take the leap into Thrive was the guarantee. They guaranteed that I would get my twenty thousand dollar a month—that I did get. I would have those results in that time with them, that I would have that consistent monthly income. There was so much structure and support that there was a very clear step-by-step action.
What were your biggest breakthroughs regarding social media and marketing?
My biggest breakthroughs started with regular social media posting and how to do that in a way that would not be over salesy, that would actually engage and bring my audience back. I took the five times a week method for fast growth. The big shift was when I finally nailed my niche and got specific, speaking to one problem, one result, and one audience member.
Can you describe the results of your first speaking engagement using their system?
I delivered it to an audience of six, and two people booked the Goddess Breakthrough session afterwards. Those two clients became high-end clients on a payment plan of nine hundred seventy-five dollars a month for nine months. That's close to eighteen thousand dollars that I received after doing one talk with six people. With a few other clients, it was over a twenty thousand dollar month.
How would you describe the coaching environment and community at Thrive?
My journey has grown me through such gentle, soft, nurturing, loving guidance from Jesse, Sharla, the coaches, and the community. It's a beautiful, heart-centered community. I've been on calls four to five days of the week for nearly ten months, and I always leave each call uplifted with more clarity on my next action steps.
How has the quality of your clients changed since joining the program?
The level at which we're playing is so much more potent. I don't do the one-offs anymore. I have clients that come in fully committed. The dollars they pay me are higher, and the results are stronger and quicker. What I was expecting to take nine months is happening in three because they come with so much energy and commitment.
