Back in 2016 I started working as a Freelancer and I was working out of a coworking space Downtown Toronto. I’m a social person, so I found a coworking space with other solo founders, entrepreneurs and creatives and signed myself up for a 3 month pass.

The very first day that I worked out of this coworking space, a lovely woman named Kieran asked me if I wanted to go out and grab lunch.

We picked up some food around Noon and then headed to a park to have a picnic. It was a gorgeous sunny day in September and I remember how warm and kind she was, even though we had only met hours prior.

But when things aren’t smooth sailing, you need to have tools to navigate ‘the dips’ and ride the inevitable waves of running a business. Without the low days, we don’t feel the high of our good days.

When I launched my online business, I decided to be as honest as possible about what I was doing, best practices and the true highs and lows that I was experiencing as an entrepreneur.

As time went on and as my business grew, people would often ask me how I was doing, what my secrets were and generally what it took to grow a 6-figure online business in just a few years.

I found myself sharing the same story over and over again.

So, I decided to start recording my stories as a podcast so that others could learn from my mistakes and successes.

In this blog post, I'm going to share 6 podcast episodes where I talk more about my origin story, success tips, marketing strategies and what goes on behind the scenes of my business.

For some people, networking might be the key. Others might find success with online marketing like list building and email newsletter campaigns. The important thing is to remain flexible and open to new possibilities and opportunities as they arise!

You've probably experienced challenge and hard work required to land new clients, but you also have a burning desire to help more and more people.

Why Start a Coaching Business?

Are you passionate about helping others reach their potential? Do you have a wealth of knowledge and experience that you want to share with the world?

If so, then starting your own coaching business could be the perfect next step for you.

6 months ago, I had absolutely no knowledge (and zero interest!) in Artificial Intelligence Copywriting.

That was until I attended Ad World (one of the biggest Online Marketing Conferences out there) and listened to world famous marketer Seth Godin speak about an incredible program that he predicts will change the way Online Marketing is done.

That program is called Jasper.ai. From that moment, I was ALL IN.

The way we receive information has also altered as a result of social media. Prior to these platforms, we relied on news sources like newspapers and television to keep us informed about current events. Nowadays, we use these sources as one of the main online resources to get our news.

There is no getting around using social media as a key tool in our everyday lives.

As a business owner, it can be hard to figure out what the heck to post on social media in order to capture the attention of your Dream Clients.

The key is to create content that is relevant to your target audience and that speaks to their needs and interests.
