Helping solopreneurs gain the confidence to charge based on the value they provide their clients and feel worthy of success has become my purpose in life. It's so important to me, because this was me . . . I was one of those solopreneurs who never believed I could be rich & successful because that dream always belonged to someone else.  

Throughout my career I started seven different companies, none of which were very successful. I never knew why not because I was smart and good with clients. But it never bothered me much because mine was the second income. So it was no big deal.  

Then my life exploded and it became a very big deal.  At age 60 I found myself divorced, after 37 years of marriage to an alcoholic. In the settlement I got the house, the dog, and the bills, but I didn't have any way of generating enough money to make the house payment. I didn't know what to do, and desperation set in pretty quickly.

So I changed everything I knew to change. I started advertising on Facebook.  I learned social media, made videos, even tried some new sales techniques. All good strategies . . . but nothing made a difference and I was out of ideas.

At the time I was working in personal/professional development and I'm so grateful for that because it led me to research success-ability. I knew I was smart, but I didn't know how to believe I could be successful. What I learned changed my life.

When I discovered that 80% of success depends on what you think and believe, and only 20% depends on the information you have, it all made sense. Because my mindset sucked. 

From grade school on, I knew my family struggled financially. My mom mistakenly wore that like a badge of courage and I learned to believe that scarcity was the norm. I wasn't expected to be successful in life, in fact my success and happiness were never even discussed. Why this had such major impact on me, who knows. But this mindset shaped my life from that time on.  

So now that I knew what I needed to do, I started focusing on the real problem; me. I learned the difference between knowing and believing and started approaching my business from a new perspective. And that's when my life began shifting. 

As my business began to grow I noticed a thread other solopreneurs. Lacking confidence and feeling unworthy of success is an epidemic. It doesn't matter how smart you are, what industry you're in, or where you're located. This is a common struggle for all of us. 

So using the techniques I used for myself and tested with other business owners, I developed a program that I know creates true long-term transformation. I know that if I can change 30 years of negative habits and beliefs for myself, I can help you live a beautiful, rich, successful life too. That very first ripple you create makes a powerful impact for you and the ones you love. Call me and let's see if this program is a good fit for you.
