February 10th

February 10th, a day I promised I was going to get off, but instead, I’m sitting in my bedroom. Typing so fast on my phone, sending message after message… hoping to sign that next client. On top of that – My grandpa is in town… I should be spending time with him

But I know when that payment comes tomorrow, I won’t have the money…. And I’ll get kicked out of the program. My eyes welled up with tears. How did the Wonder Child’s $200-$200k go to being so broke I can’t pay for a program?

I don’t know what was worse, letting down my grandpa on my dead brother’s birthday or feeling like a sales expert who couldn’t sign a client. The words swirled in my head ” way to go Meghan! Maybe you aren’t cut out for this“

The Start of the Burnout

In 12 weeks, I would go from a perfectly healthy person to getting pneumonia and being bedridden for two weeks. Which would become into a mental breakdown causing me to walk away from my business and a broken engagement.

Burn out has a variety of definitions based on who you ask. While it’s not a medical condition, it is a situation that many business owners find themselves in their business. It can come from doing too much at once, working long hours, or a mixture of many things

When studied “95% of entrepreneurs are unsure of how to achieve a healthy work-life balance.”

So what is a normal experience was causing me to melt down in my bedroom.

It’s not a lack of skill

For me, It wasn’t a lack of sales skills. In my first calendar year alone – I had $100k in 90 days in sales, $10k cash days, and I made $220k with a small audience.

It was the idea that I needed a solution, and imposter syndrome kept me small. My results were lucky and I didn’t have the skills

It was constantly feeding into my less than, always need more, others are better than me.

My Real Problem

It was asking for help. I mustered up my last shred of dignity. Ask my fiancé at the time to borrow the payment and then pay it back in a month’s time.

And then when he left me, my mental health took a deep dive (okay, it was already in a free fall…. but that’s another story.

I used that same strength to ask my dad to pay for therapy and help me back on my feet.

And then again, when I just invested like 2 months ago, {first_name}

What you don’t need

Because what I didn’t need and you probably don’t need is another DFY system of greatness, another launch method or evergreen (that is actually launching)

You don’t need to update your messaging to make people pay more attention to you, use problem awareness.

You don’t need to minimize your dreams, shrink yourself not to overshadow your coach’s methods or outshine their success

Your marketing can be fun and inspiring, you can love the whole process and make money.

Your problem awareness can be insightful and kind.

Scale to $5k

So no, Scale to $5k isn’t a DFY business in a box. Do it my way or DIE

It’s a ticket to a strong, empowering message that signs clients, Makes YOU Money, and it feels fun again.

Before you click on that link AGAIN (because we can see you clicking), close and tell yourself No not this time

Ask yourself

What would change if you could make sales on repeat?
