Before we dive into the excitement of 2024, I've got a treat for you – it's the most downloaded episode of the year, my business year-in-review.Why is this episode such a hit? Well, I'm a bit of an oversharer by nature. I believe in transparency because, let's be real, when we're open about our wins and losses, it helps everyone stop the comparison game. In today's episode, I'm laying it all out there – the behind-the-scenes stuff you didn't see on Instagram or hear in previous podcasts.Want to know what has been a huge game changer for me this year? Investing in done-for-you services. We’re chatting all about finding your zone of genius and why getting clear on how YOUR brain works can help you raise your income peacefully. Trust me; it's worth it.But don’t get it twisted! As the CEO, you're the one steering the ship. I've learned this the hard way. Learning how to manage people is such an essential skill in scaling!

Knowing how you work and conveying that to your team makes everything smoother.I’m also sharing a hot tip for those creatives out there - high ticket clients on monthly payment plans are your best friend!
