In today's conversation, my friend Kiana Anderson interviews me about my own story, how I pivoted my business, and the impact that Profit First has made in my life. If you've ever wondered how someone who wasn't good at math to become a coach and educator on business, finances, and money, this is the story!

    005: Why You're Not Successful with Sabrina Gebhardt

    With everyone sharing their life and business success online and coach after coach teaching you how to be successful, it's easy to get trapped chasing a definition of success that doesn't fit your life. You'll never be happy if you're chasing someone else's version of success and I believe you're setting yourself up for disappointment and burnout if you've never sat down to get really intentional about your definition. We need to build our own definition of success based on our own real life, which is exactly what Sabrina Gebhardt and I talk about in today's episode! Listen in as Sabrina shares how she has built her business with intention based on her own version of success.

In today's episode, we're going to face the truth about profit, how it might be the root of your biggest struggles and how to tangibly start guaranteeing profit in your business today.

Very informative

Thank you so much for providing so much insights into the finance world when my creative mind can’t really handle the logistic side of math really good. I’ve enjoyed the first two podcasts and look forward to more!

KateB-LD ,

Brings all the pieces together!

So excited Val started this podcast! For me she is able to explain the Profit First system in a clear and relatable way that others haven't been able to. Valuable info and doable lessons- not just theories and ideas. Love it! 😍

Transparent and inspiring

In a culture were business owners are quick to boast about numbers but shy away from the specifics, Val transparently steps you through the details with actual figures of her personal money management and the income framework she teaches. She is changing the narrative for what it means to be a growth-minded entrepreneur.
