Be the first to know when we launch Business Bootcamp Live! https://herfirst100k.com/biz-waitlist 




When I started my business, I had just $40 in my bank account. No trust fund, no corporate safety net, just a dream and a whole lot of grit. Fast forward, and that $40 has turned into a multi-million dollar company that’s helped over five million women change their relationship with money. But it didn’t happen without mistakes––and a lot of hard lessons along the way. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the seven most important lessons I’ve learned over nine years of building Her First $100K. These are the strategies, mindset shifts, and sometimes counterintuitive moves that have made the biggest difference—not just in our bottom line, but in my life as an entrepreneur.
