    Have you ever clung to a business dream with the same tenacity you'd hold onto the last cookie in the jar—only to worry it might crumble? That's where my entrepreneurial journey began, and it's the heart of the latest Diamond Effect Podcast episode.

    Snuggle into the behind-the-scenes tales of my transformation from a hopeful dreamer to a six-figure CEO. It's been a rollercoaster ride, balancing a corporate job, an executive MBA, and family life. And when the COVID-19 curveball was thrown into the mix, it tested us all like never before. But through strategic planning and high-performance habits, I was able to create progress. These little victories became the building blocks of momentum, steering my coaching business to the point where I moved it from a side hustle to a full-time gig.

    In this episode, I take you through my personal playbook of doubling business revenue—over and over. It's not just about the numbers; it's about the mindset shift from employee to CEO, the resilience built from setbacks, and the support systems that are the scaffolding of any success.

    So, if you're itching to catapult your business to the next level, this episode is your beacon. Join me, and let's double your service business (and more) together.
