Memorable Quotes
"When I first reached out to you, I had just been fortunate enough to be exiting a business and I didn't know anything about money at the time. I was like, 'I don't know what to do with this.'"
"I started to separate our expenses based on sales contract labor, marketing contract labor, fulfillment contract labor. So I can see them all on a P&L and I can see how much of the top line is going to which department and how they're performing."
"If you want to make money on Instagram, I can help you. What I have a lot of people do is really pick a couple topics that they feel really confident in and just continue to provide value in those areas."
"Until you understand your household stuff and your personal finances, it doesn't matter how much money you make. Because I went through your course and was like, 'Wow, my business needs to make four times the amount of money so that I can pay myself X so that I can hit my financial goals.'"
"The myth is that once you have some cash, you know, you've got five or ten clients, it's okay to start advertising. Because spending money on ads is the fastest way for you to test your message to see if it actually resonates."
