At 40, she took her first job ever in marketing to see how it was and to learn
It didn't last long
Started helping spiritual women with their business
At 24 went to college once she was fully emancipated
Just took the classes she was weak in and wanted to learn
She was the only stripper that took a Bible to work!
Got married and had a kid and launched her business
Her brother was killed and told him who killed him and the police solved it so she has had some interesting spiritual events
17 years as a stripper is an eternity
Single mother and homeless at 19
She learned how to sell, learned human nature, learned about wealth
She does not hide from her past
Now she helps people who sell
Works with women who own businesses and a few men

Humans thrive under a challenge.
Walking on stage at 19 and topless was a scary but wonderful experience.
Her biggest customers just wanted to talk with her.
People want status, appreciation, and someone's full attention.
I never chase money I've already earned.
I always charge up-front.
Establish the rules up-front.
She went for "no" early.
She raised her prices from $350 to $500/mo plus champagne.
She thought she was playing small.
She had a partner and had a 7-figure business but still felt like she was playing small.
Things were easy and comfortable.
Created 28 courses, so she's automating that.
