Description

If you’ve been grinding for months (or years) and still don’t have the clients you want, I get it. For me, the time it took from 'I first meet you' to 'you become a client' used to be about two years. Now it’s about five months. That’s ~79% faster - with a full-time job, two kids, and 1 hour a day for my business.

In this episode, I walk through what actually changed. Spoiler: it wasn’t a shiny tactic. It was my identity and beliefs. When I started becoming the woman who already signs clients - the way I think, feel, show up - everything sped up. Strategies didn’t suddenly start working; I started working, because I was aligned.

What I cover:

  • Why strategies 'work for others' but don’t stick for you (yet)
  • How your identity + beliefs → emotions → actions → results (and timelines)
  • The uncomfortable truth behind my first refund (and why it was a gift)
  • Why my latest inbound, no-ads client felt easy and sustainable
  • My 12-month 'do the scary thing' experiment (and how I gut-check fear vs. truth)
  • The MES Framework I use now: Mindset, Energy, Systems
