Today I am sharing the 5 steps that I took before leaving my 9 to 5 job and I’m walking you through all of the different things I did before making that leap into full-time entrepreneurship!

Today I’m hanging out with Liz Bohannon, the founder of Sseko Designs, who I was first introduced to by a “little” show called, Shark Tank!

Today I’m talking all about Instagram Pods – what they are and why I don’t necessarily think they are the perfect solution for your algorithm woes. I’m just breaking down some of the things that I’ve been working on in my Instagram strategy and passing the information on to you!

I am so, so excited to introduce you to the amazing Amanda Bucci! I met Amanda this year in our mastermind and today we’re going to talk all about what a mastermind is, how to join one, why we picked the one that we did and how it’s really propelled our businesses forward. If you’re wondering how you can uplevel your business while learning from amazing educators, joining a mastermind might be the right option for you.
