I’m sharing a clip directly from a coaching call with one of my Inspired Organizer students for the podcast today, because well, sometimes the best aha moments come completely unscripted! What I loved about this conversation is that you can REALLY hear the huge change in her mindset from the beginning of this segment to the end, and if you can relate to having any hangups about spending money on growing your business, I hope you’ll get a major lightbulb moment out of this, too.

The episode I’m sharing today was pulled from a new Facebook Live series I did all about online business topics. I’m simply teaching for free, sharing resources, and pulling back the curtain and breaking things down step-by-step so that you can 1. KNOW what options you have and what they look like, and 2. Avoid getting burned by someone trying to sell you information that is freely available.
