I was literally on my way to find an apartment in Chicago (where I was soon to be enrolled in grad school) when I got that feeling in the pit of my stomach that something wasn’t right…
Do you know the feeling? When you know you are not living the life you desire. But guess what? That moment changed the course of my life and, ultimately, led me here.
“When you have that openness. And you have that fearlessness. And you have that belief that you are deserving of something good and you are deserving of living your dreams and your desires and achieving the life that you want– and really receive that with gratitude and with an open heart– your dreams are going to be presented to you in a way that’s even bigger than you could have imagined.” -Emily Williams
So this episode is actually the first in a four-part series that is so incredibly powerful in helping you lay the foundation for chasing your dreams. For saying yes to your desires. So whether you have the dream of starting your own business or scaling one you already have, literally whatever it is that you desire, this episode (and series) is for you.
Listen to part one as I share a bit about my story and how I went from a quarter-life crisis to a 6-figure business owner. How I went from earning $442 in my first month as a coach to hitting 6-figures in only 6 months (yes, really). Now, remember, if it was possible for me– small-town girl swimming in debt– it is literally possible for you too. Now, I will be the first to admit that having the support of insightful mentors and access to some amazing programs made a huge difference in my journey and success. I’m so grateful and that’s why I want to pay it forward by sharing this recording with you today.
In this episode, I’m diving into the four big things that I did to actually get started on the path towards my dream business (and 6-figures). I talk about why you need to start saying yes to your dreams and no to fear. I explain why investing in your business is investing in yourself and your dreams (and is a total must-do). I’ll discuss why I recommend getting started even if you don’t have all the answers or systems in place. Lastly, I touch upon why you need to focus on working smart when building your business.
What happened when I said yes to my dreams? What happened when I moved past fears and invested in myself and my business? I went from making $442 last July to six figures that January. Now, it’s time to start thinking about what is possible for you. After you’ve listened to this episode, be sure to tune back in for the three remaining episodes in this four-part series!
P.S. There’s still time to save your seat for my up-coming LIVE webinar all about building that 6-figure coaching business! So, if you are ready to commit to saying yes to your desires and stepping into your dream of running a 6-figure coaching business, you don’t want to miss this!

Quotes:
“So whatever your dreams are right now, it’s key that you hold on to them and you really give them life and give them a chance. So often I meet women who have been squashing their dreams. For years they’ve been telling themselves, ‘It’s not realistic,’ or ‘It’s not possible for me,’ or ‘She can do it, but I can’t.’ Well, you know what? If someone’s out there doing it, it’s possible for you too.” -Emily Williams
“You don’t have to have everything figured out before you start — just get started and just get moving towards your dreams.” -Emily Williams
“When you have that openness. And you have that fearlessness. And you have that belief that you are deserving of something good and you are deserving of living your dreams and your desires and achieving the life that you want– and really receive that with gratitude and with an open heart– your dreams are going to be presented to you in a way that’s even bigger than you could have imagined.” -Emily Williams
