Why?  Because  being my own boss has afforded me the life and lifestyle I always wanted. I live the life I once only imagined&#8230; and that is because when small  business  is  done RIGHT  (which is  often counter-business-culture) it provides BOTH time and  money  freedom.  Small business changed my life,  and that of my family.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s ONE reason I love to do Black Friday / Small Business Saturday offers.  The other reason  is that when I was starting out, I OFTEN asked for Christmas gifts that somehow furthered my business. On  my Christmas lists back then, I would have business books, digital programs, even my coaching certification was a Christmas gift to  me  from my parents. (When you begin your business with a $50 investment, Christmas  gifts are a GREAT way to get the resources your business needs to grow.)</p>
<p>So, I&#8217;ve put together an INCREDIBLE list of resources that will empower, encourage AND equip serious women entrepreneurs to create the  income, impact and influence they KNOW they were DESTINED to create through their  business.  Ranging from FREE to a whopping $497, these  offers are ALL something that</p>
<p>1) I would want myself; and<br />
2) at price points I would have paid myself&#8230; or asked for for Christmas.</p>
<p>So, here goes!!!</p>
<h2>Freebie Offer for EVERYone:</h2>
<p><strong>**So, tell your friends!!** </strong></p>
<p><strong>I have been compiling 31 of my BEST, most compelling,  thought-provoking, ACTION-inspiring, confidence-generating,  audacity-growing #EntrepreneurialEspressos &#8212; one for EACH day in December.  </strong>To grab THIS resource, you simply have to be  on my email  list. (If you get emails from me in any capacity, you  do not have to do anything. BUT if you  were referred here, or found this offer on  social media, scroll up  and give me your name and email.</p>
<p>Women Who WOW members love these DAILY shots of #EntrepreneurialEspresso  which also come with a journal prompt&#8230; both  served up hot and fresh every morning and  designed to encourage, empower and EQUIP you for wild success.  As a freebie from you to me, you&#8217;ll wake up EVERY morning in December with a piping hot dose  of inspiration.</p>
<h2>For Former Women Who WOW members:</h2>
<p>If you have BEEN a member before, but  let your membership lapse for any reason,  I want  to invite you  back&#8230;. but at your  ORIGINAL membership  rate. =)  This offer is ONLY good  through Sunday, November 27th at midnight.   If you remember  your original rate,  <a href="http://Paypal.me/WomenWhoWOW">you  can send it over here</a>. If you do NOT, <a href="http://m.me/womenwhowow">email me</a> and my team will  send  you an invoice. (Membership is NOW on SALE for $970&#8230;  so some  of you would  be coming back  for less than half of that amount!)</p>
<h2>For NON- (and Not-Yet or No-Longer) Women Who WOW members:</h2>
<p><strong>**WOW members, this is a GREAT way  to  introduce your  friends to WOW.**</strong></p>
<p>Oh, woman&#8230; I have something SOOOOO fun and SOOO custom for you.  Over the past few years, my (always evergreen) training intensives have sold for between $147 and  $497 with other programs  selling for as much as $997.</p>
<p>And I want to provide you with an &#8220;I LOVE Small Business&#8221; customized bundle of these training intensives.  Here&#8217;s how it will work:</p>
<p>1.  You <a href="http://Paypal.me/WomenWhoWOW/97">pay for the bundle here</a>.  It is $97, but will include NO LESS than $1200 worth of training intensives.  EACH intensive comes with DAILY #EntrepreneurialEspressos, Weekly  Hustle Challenges, 4-8 separate video trainings and multiple templates.</p>
<p>2. When you pay, you&#8217;ll get an  automated email asking you to tell us SPECIFICS about your business.</p>
<p>3.  From that email, my team will HAND PICK the training intensives that  will have the MOST (and most immediate impact) on your business income, impact and influence.</p>
<p>4.   We&#8217;ll  send  them  off to you, via email&#8230; along with a personal note from ME, and even a suggestion for how you should MOVE through the programs.</p>
<p>To give you a SMALL idea  of the FOCUS of our training intensives, here&#8217;s what COULD be in your  bundle:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Content Alchemy</strong> (all about content marketing for CASH)</li>
<li><strong>DisEntangled</strong> (The TIMELESS (&amp; Singular) Path to Entrepreneurial Freedom.)</li>
<li><strong>Business DNA</strong> (8 Weeks to Create a Brand So Strong You ALWAYS Show Up in a Category of One!)</li>
<li><strong>Coaching In the Trenches</strong> (10 Weeks of the TOP Shifts Business Owners Can Make to Increase Income, Impact and Influence in 2022)</li>
<li><strong>The Ultimate Flex</strong> (Doing Business YOUR Way in EVERY Way  and Making More Money  Than Ever)</li>
<li><strong>Economic AUTONOMY:</strong>  6-Weeks To Take FULL Dominion Over Your Income, Hours &amp; Life Through DELIBERATE Business Design.</li>

<li><strong>Lucky:</strong> The Nuts &amp; Bolts  of Getting &#8220;Lucky&#8221; in Business</li>
<li><strong>Quick Cash NOW! </strong></li>
<li>And so many more. (I&#8217;ve only listed a  FEW above.)</li>
</ul>
<h2>For my BELOVED  Women Who WOW members:</h2>
<p>I am doing TWO things, very time-limited because, well&#8230; there&#8217;s a lot of you and only one  of me. =)</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>JAM SESSION for Less than HALF the Normal Price</strong></span><br />
I am doing an extended planning session, a Rapid Results JAM Session for Less than HALF it&#8217;s normal rate. This is available ONLY for 7 of you and instead of $997,  it&#8217;s  being  offered for $447. I  do  ten of these every  month and  they are LASER  FOCUSED on  where  you are RIGHT NOW  and the EXACT steps, changes, shifts you&#8217;ll need to make to get where you  want to  be.   You can lock in  your  spot here  and  we&#8217;ll  contact you  on Monday for  scheduling.</p>
<p>** if you are NOT one of  the first 7, we&#8217;ll immediately refund your  money  and send you  a condolence &#8220;prize.&#8221; **</p>
<p><strong>A Dreaming &amp; Scheming Session for $600 OFF The Normal Price</strong></p>

Scheduling small group meetings with the top producers for top shows (like Dr. Oz, Rachael Ray, Tamron Hall Show, Wendy Williams, etc.) tends to have that affect on a business. (Message me FAST if you want IN on these small group pitch opportunities!)</p>
<p>But also&#8230; there&#8217;s just something afoot<span class="text_exposed_show">.<br />
Something happening&#8230;<br />
with women entrepreneurs,<br />
who are refusing to settle,<br />
but also refusing to &#8220;suit up&#8221; and put on a mask in order to succeed.<br />
There&#8217;s a growing TRIBE of DRIVEN women<br />
who are standing up, standing out and REFUSING to accept less than what their SOUL knows they were born for.</p>
<p>And so, naturally,<br />
they are finding Women Who WOW&#8230;.<br />
THE place for them.</p>
<p>Naturally, they &#8220;somehow&#8221; find my page,<br />
naturally, they say I just &#8220;showed up on their feed&#8221;<br />
naturally, they find their way here,<br />
where their drive, their heart, their purpose, their WEIRDNESS, their stubbornness&#8230;<br />
is not just &#8220;accepted,&#8221;<br />
but applauded.</p>
<p>The more defiant they become about their goals,<br />
and about being EVER MORE FULLY themselves<br />
as they bring these goals into full fruition,<br />
the more they TUNE IN to the frequency of THIS page. At THIS frequency, it&#8217;d be hard NOT to end up here.</p>
<p>So, as I respond to more and more emails and Facebook messages about WOW, I am &#8212; very uncharacteristically &#8212; being drawn into thoughts about people who landed here, stayed a while and the Women Who WOW Way did NOT help them create the success they deserve.</p>
<p>Why didn&#8217;t it work&#8230;.. for THEM?<br />
Because SOME actually do the work,<br />
but they don&#8217;t see the results<br />
that so many others are seeing, enjoying and making their new normal.</p>
<p>WHAT gives???</p>
<p>So, here I am this morning,<br />
diving deep into what these former Women Who WOW members have in common&#8230; not in an effort to change what **I** do, but in an effort to more clearly call out those I CAN help create HUGE shifts with&#8230; and also, send the others, elsewhere.</p>
<p>So, here&#8217;s what I came up with.</p>
<p><span class="_5mfr"><span class="_6qdm">✅</span></span> IF YOU VIEW YOUR BUSINESS AS &#8220;JUST A BUSINESS&#8221; &#8212; separate from yourself &#8212; you will find The Women Who WOW way too vulnerable, too focused on developing YOU, too uncomfortable.</p>
<p>While we focus A LOT of leveraging your expertise and time AWAY from a &#8220;hour for dollar&#8221; exchange, truly successful women who WOW members have a DEEP SEEDED DESIRE / NEED to do more than that&#8230; to fully build their business around themselves. We don&#8217;t see business as &#8220;just&#8221; something we DO for money. We see it as an extension of our purpose, passion and skills. We see it as an outlet. We feel CALLED, purpose driven and RESPONSIBLE for bringing our goals to life.</p>
<p>But there are some who land here because we DO have solid trainings &#8212; and multiple swipe-able examples &#8212; of simple funnels, offers, and marketing suave than can bring (and has brought) in multiple six-figures on repeat. So, they come for the &#8220;hard core marketing stuff.&#8221;</p>
<p>To be transparent, they come because they are a reflection of an earlier version of me. I am STILL practical to a FAULT. I am ALL about the marketing and selling fundamentals, and it&#8217;s THESE principles that the REST of my business hangs upon, but&#8230;</p>
<p>if you have NO burning desire to infuse your offers, your pricing, your marketing and your selling with MORE of your OWN unique magic, you&#8217;ll tire of us quickly.</p>
<p>BUT, there are a ton of OTHER groups that will keep you constantly abreast on every single change the digital marketing gods make. There are other groups who can help you constantly tweak your headline or deliverables to create a 1% or 2% increase in conversion on your existing offer. I belong to a few of these groups myself, to keep my marketing edge SHARP AF.</p>
<p>But, I never allow the techniques<br />
to eclipse my HEART and my MAGIC,<br />
not in my message,<br />
not in my offers,<br />
not in anything.</p>
<p>So, if you aren&#8217;t PASSIONATE about building a business &#8212; and income, of course &#8212; entirely on your own terms, you may land here, but you won&#8217;t be a &#8220;lifer.&#8221;</p>
<p><span class="_5mfr"><span class="_6qdm">✅</span></span> IF YOU RESIST THE REALITY OF CAUSE AND EFFECT, you may be frustrated here. There are some who will ACCEPT clients or patients when they come, but they will not ACCEPT their role as the CREATOR of clients. <span class="_47e3 _5mfr" title="smilingface emoticon"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="img" role="presentation" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t1e/2/16/1f60a.png" alt="" width="16" height="16" /><span class="_7oe" aria-hidden="true">=)</span></span></p>
<p>And this is a big growth area.<br />
Because when you see yourself as the CREATOR of your current circumstances, you don&#8217;t just get to bask in the glory of great times. <span class="_47e3 _5mfr" title="smilingface emoticon"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="img" role="presentation" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t1e/2/16/1f60a.png" alt="" width="16" height="16" /><span class="_7oe" aria-hidden="true">=)</span></span> You ALSO must accept that you&#8217;re responsible for the lean times as well.</p>
<p>Cause &amp; Effect.<br />
The effect is the goal.<br />
The cause is YOU.</p>
<p>Like gravity, this is a universal truth&#8230;<br />
When you embrace it, it works FOR you.<br />
BUT if you deny it,<br />
if you insist on seeing yourself as the EXCEPTION to this universal truth,<br />
it will ALWAYS work against you.</p>
<p>So, if you are NOT seeing the EFFECT you want in business,<br />
the Women Who WOW Way demands you look in the mirror (often through journaling) to ask yourself, what YOU can do to CAUSE that effect to come to life in your world!</p>
<p>Many resist this.<br />
And they will tire of me asking them<br />
&#8220;Given all that is going on, what are you willing to create?&#8221;</p>
<p>Related side note: I never accept invites to pity parties, because I LOVE our members. I will show up, <span class="_47e3 _5mfr" title="smilingface emoticon"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="img" role="presentation" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t1e/2/16/1f60a.png" alt="" width="16" height="16" /><span class="_7oe" aria-hidden="true">=)</span></span> but ONLY on the sidewalk. I will ALWAYS be there cheering YOU ON, reminding you of YOUR power to change your circumstances, but my RESPECT for you will not allow me inside the pity party itself. But, listen carefully. Over all of the placating and understanding and &#8220;don&#8217;t worry about it&#8221; within the pity party itself&#8230; you will hear my voice, woman. I&#8217;ll be the one reminding you of YOUR power, of YOUR potential. I will not stop cheering for you. But I will never exchange respect for pity.</p>
<p><span class="_5mfr"><span class="_6qdm">✅</span></span> IF YOUR &#8220;PERSONAL PRIDE&#8221; IS OKAY WITH YOU BEING FULLY FINANCIALLY DEPENDENT ON SOMEONE &#8212; OR SOMETHING &#8212; ELSE, YOU MAY FIND WOW A BIT OF A CHORE.</p>
<p>I do hear from women who WANT to fully support themselves or their families with their purpose work. Independence is a cool goal and one they DO think about, but when it comes down to it&#8230;. when they look in the mirror, they&#8217;re truly OKAY being fully &#8212; or nearly &#8212; dependent.</p>
<p>If you are OKAY with that,<br />
I am okay with that for you. <span class="_47e3 _5mfr" title="smilingface emoticon"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="img" role="presentation" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t1e/2/16/1f60a.png" alt="" width="16" height="16" /><span class="_7oe" aria-hidden="true">=)</span></span><br />
To each their own.</p>
<p>BUT I think you will find my whole &#8220;self-reliance&#8221; vibe an irritant to your underlying desire to be fully independent. And we ALL have that underlying desire.</p>
<p>Not all of us are willing to do what it takes,<br />
NO MATTER what it takes<br />
for AS LONG as it takes,<br />
to make it happen, though.</p>
<p>So, that&#8217;s that.<br />
These are the THREE &#8220;indicators&#8221; that The Women Who WOW Way may not be your long term, lifetime solution to being all the things, doing all the things, becoming ALL you were meant to be.</p>
<p>If you have any questions, though&#8230; message me. I LOVE talking to other women entrepreneurs.</span></p>

BUT the words, &#8220;we are looking at a diagnosis of either Leukemia or Lymphoma&#8221; were &#8212; as they say in the south &#8212; doozies.</p>
<p>I went numb. <span class="text_exposed_show"><br />
My son immediately started googling his diagnosis options and went instantly pale.<br />
My (then) 6 foot son looked at me with pleading eyes&#8230;<br />
his unspoken question, &#8220;MOM, am I going to be okay?&#8221;<br />
All at the same time, I was:</p>
<p><span class="_5mfr"><span class="_6qdm">💥</span></span> FURIOUS that a doctor would say these words in front of my child,<br />
<span class="_5mfr"><span class="_6qdm">💥</span></span> Being painfully cognizant of my own reaction, because my son was watching me,<br />
<span class="_5mfr"><span class="_6qdm">💥</span></span> Spinning&#8230; or maybe the room was spinning. I&#8217;m not sure which, but I lost my footing for sure.<br />
<span class="_5mfr"><span class="_6qdm">💥</span></span> Focusing on the doctor who looked all of 15 years old and talked like a total &#8220;surfer dude&#8221; and wondering how THIS sort of conversation ends&#8230;</p>
<p>I have been in the &#8220;bad news room&#8221; in hospitals before, so I remember wondering why we weren&#8217;t taken to that room with the uncomfortable couches&#8230; and then, I asked calmly&#8230; with as much STEEL in my spine as I could muster:</p>
<p>&#8220;So, what&#8217;s next? What do we do from here?&#8221;</p>
<p>Somehow I drove to the Pediatric hospital and managed to get through the admissions process with some measure of efficiency&#8230; my inner world, ROCKED&#8230; My son in emotional turmoil and physical pain, which they would no longer treat until the diagnosis was made &#8220;official.&#8221;</p>
<p>These &#8211;by the way&#8211; are the moments you don&#8217;t really &#8220;talk through.&#8221; I couldn&#8217;t have put my thoughts into spoken form, and EVEN IF I COULD, I believe words have POWER&#8230; and so I would NOT have uttered what my mind was fearing, what my mind was processing.</p>
<p>The complete lack of pain relief for my son<br />
went on for 3 DAYS and 2 LONG, DARK nights&#8230;<br />
until the doctors had their answers.</p>
<p>BUT, I already had mine.<br />
Somewhere once I got quiet and centered myself,<br />
I went BACK to what I PERSONALLY knew to be true.</p>
<p>About my son.<br />
About my God.<br />
About health in general and our approach to it for his ENTIRE life.<br />
About doctors.<br />
About his symptoms.</p>
<p>Doctors can be wrong.<br />
Tests can be wrong.<br />
Diagnosis can be wrong.</p>
<p>And in this instance, I knew they were wrong.<br />
And i KNEW it because once my world stopped spinning, i anchored myself to what I KNOW and BELIEVE.</p>
<p>This doesn&#8217;t mean there weren&#8217;t some really dark moments in the dead of night&#8230; when I was alone in that chair / bed&#8230; and fear popped in and gripped me by my chest so hard I forgot how to breathe. BUT&#8230; I kept returning&#8230;</p>
<p>to what i KNOW.<br />
To what I BELIEVE.<br />
To that which is always TRUE.</p>
<p>So, when the world was gripped by the fear of a virus,<br />
forgive me for not participating.<br />
Truly, I believe some people need to ACTUALLY forgive me for not sharing their same level of fear over the virus.<br />
I sincerely hope some of you have forgiven me. I don&#8217;t want our varying approaches to this to get between us. I 100% believe your fear is valid for you&#8230; and I honor it.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s just that,<br />
that sort of fear is not in me.<br />
I cannot muster it.<br />
I physically can not call it forth.<br />
For me, that sort of thing literally doesn&#8217;t exist.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not because I&#8217;m ignorant.<br />
I&#8217;m VERY educated about health.<br />
I&#8217;m also VERY anchored in my approach to health.<br />
EVEN when the doctors,<br />
even when MY doctors<br />
disagree.</p>
<p>Now, when the world is reeling because the WHO or CDC<br />
or their chosen doctors,<br />
or the celebrated doctors<br />
or the censored doctors &#8230;<br />
are changing their approach,<br />
or admitting they were wrong&#8230;<br />
forgive me for not being confused or dismayed.</p>
<p>I never listened to them in the first place.<br />
I never have.</p>
<p>PLUS, the whole thing about this situation&#8230; is that it was a &#8220;Novel&#8221; virus, right???? We WOULD expect people / scientists / doctors to find out MORE as they study it, to have new revelations, to have SOME theories proven true and some prove false. This is no hoax or conspiracy, guys. THIS is how science works. It&#8217;s what happens when NEW phenomenon is being studied.</p>
<p>So, when it comes to my business, or life, or country&#8230;<br />
many wonder why I SEEM relatively &#8220;un-phased&#8221; by this, that or the other.</p>
<p>It is NOT that I don&#8217;t have dark nights of the soul,<br />
I absolutely do.<br />
Moments where I go numb, into resistance or even into RAGE.<br />
Of course I do.<br />
But I ALWAYS come back to my beliefs.</p>
<p>About myself.<br />
About people.<br />
About life.<br />
About eternity.<br />
About health.<br />
About prosperity.<br />
About the world and its cycles.</p>
<p>And RIGHT THERE<br />
at the intersection<br />
where my beliefs face my current circumstances,<br />
is where fear is defeated for me,<br />
and replaced with fervor.<br />
Every<br />
Single<br />
Time.</p>
<p>So, do you STILL believe what you USED to post about on facebook? About accepting others? EVEN the ones who don&#8217;t think, act, vote, post, or worship like you? Do you STiLL believe in personal responsibility? Do you STILL believe that MOST people are good to their core? Do you STILL believe in your ability to CREATE your reality? Do you STILL believe in us all being connected at a cosmic level&#8230; about universal consciousness?</p>
<p>If so, woman&#8230; come back to it.<br />
It&#8217;s THE anchor you&#8217;re looking for right now.<br />
It doesn&#8217;t make the waves go away&#8230;<br />
It doesn&#8217;t remove the need for you to steer the ship,<br />
sometimes with MUSCLE &amp; GRIT baby.</p>
<p>But it makes the ride more enjoyable<br />
and the ship more stable&#8230;<br />
for you and for others,<br />
for the long haul.</span></p>
