I ate ramen for 3 years... then made $17M (here's why)
May 04, 2025
This Week's Message...
- In 2006, I bet $XX,XXX on myself (money I didn't have) and turned it into a $17M business - proving that your biggest return will always come from investing in yourself
- We're 1/3 through 2025 - if you're not on track to hit your year-end goals, it's time to stop trying to figure it out alone and start working with someone who's already created the path
- The gap between 6-figures and $1M+ isn't about working harder - it's about building the right 4-pillar foundation that allows you to scale with intention and ease
Dear Entrepreneur,
In 2006, I took out a loan for $XX,XXX to buy a franchise business.
I didn't have a single dollar in savings.
My friends thought I was crazy. My family was worried. But after 2 layoffs in 7 years, I knew something had to change.
That single decision - betting on myself when everyone else thought I was nuts - led to building a $17M business.
But here's what most people don't know...
I lived on ramen noodles and boxed mac & cheese for THREE YEARS to make it work.
Was it comfortable? No.
Was it worth it? Absolutely - it allowed me to retire before 40 and create the life I have now.
As we wrap up the first third of 2025, I have a question for you:
Where are you today compared to where you want to be on 12/31/2025?
Have you been holding yourself back because you are afraid to invest in yourself and your business?
If you're like most of the women I work with, you're probably:
- Working 50+ hours a week but not seeing the profit you deserve
- Stuck in the day-to-day operations instead of leading your business
- Wondering why scaling feels so complicated when others make it look easy
I get it because I've been there. In fact, here's my biggest regret...
At my lowest point - working 80+ hour weeks and completely burnt out - I met with a coach who could have helped me. But I made the mistake of thinking I should be able to figure it out on my own.
That decision cost me TWO WHOLE YEARS of unnecessary struggle.
That's exactly why I became a business coach. Because no woman should have to figure this out alone.
You have two choices right now:
1. Continue piecing things together on your own, hoping you'll eventually crack the code to scaling (while watching another year slip by)
OR
2. Work with someone who's been where you are and has created a proven system to help you build the 4 essential pillars your business needs to scale:
✔️Pillar 1: Structure - Design Your Dream Business
✔️Pillar 2: Systems - Work Smarter, Not Harder
✔️Pillar 3: Support - Build Your Dream Team
✔️Pillar 4: Streamline - Simplify & Scale
