"I just completed my 3rd product launch. The course sold out with 12 days to spare. My earnings are projected to increase by 65% but I am most proud of the following:
1. I built a program that is sustainable, scalable, and heartfelt.
2. I was able to pay 23 Breathwork facilitators, energy workers, experts, craft makers and workbook creators for their time skills and materials.
3. I took some power back, and I am helping to make a community that I love a better place."
