The Gift
I’m part of a business mastermind group with 10 incredibly successful women. Every week, I show up to grow my business, get coached, and receive mentorship from a master coach who leads the team.
Here’s the kicker: I’m the only man in the group.
And I love it. It’s an honor and privilege to learn alongside these women.
These women are extraordinary.
The highest earner in the room makes $3.1 million a year. The coach who leads us clears $10 million annually.
And me? I’m the lowest earner in the group. Do you know how cool it is to be the only man in a room full of women who are crushing it at such high levels of excellence?
It’s inspiring.
I’m sharing this because I’ve learned so much from them—not just about strategy or business models but about how they show up in their lives and work.
I’ve noticed they all share something in common: I call it the gift.
The gift is why they can make millions while working 3–4 days a week.
The gift is how they lead thriving businesses while also being the anchors of their families.
The gift is what allows them to navigate life’s demands and still achieve results that feel almost superhuman.
So what is the gift?
The gift is the realization that you are the asset in your own life.
You’re an asset to yourself. You’re an asset to your family. You’re an asset to the world.
When you treat yourself as an asset, everything shifts.
You become the priority. Your sanity and well-being come first.
You recognize your own worth. You showcase your talent. You apply it in business to help others.
And most importantly - you bet on yourself! You trust your brain. You trust your ideas. You trust your skills.
You invest your money in the growth of your business. You do this with an expectation of return, knowing that you have what it takes to succeed.
If you aren’t used to operating this way, it will feel scary and unfamiliar at first.
But I promise you it’s learnable. And once you turn it on, it stays with you forever.
For 100% of my clients, the first major breakthrough they experience is learning how to give themselves the gift.
This is what happens when you sign up for my program, Go Independent.
It’s an immediate switch that happens in your brain. That’s also why it feels so scary and hard to get going – because the act of signing up requires you to start treating yourself like an asset.
This may go against years of programming and socialization where you’ve been rewarded for playing small and outsourcing your trust to others.
Signing up requires you to bet on yourself. It’s not a passive exercise. It’s an intentional decision to dedicate the next 6 months of your life to get your business off the ground and to the point of thriving.
It’s scary, but it’s also liberating! It’s a turning point. It’s a powerful moment when you decide that it’s finally time to put yourself first. It’s finally time to go after what you truly want.
When you make this decision, I am right there with you (literally!).
The moment you sign up you get immediate access to the Go Independent community chat where we support one another, daily. It’s a group of like-minded professionals growing independent businesses from the ground up.
You also get access to the member portal where I walk you step by step through the ins and outs of getting your business off the ground.
And most importantly, you’ll be setting the tone for 2025. You’ll be choosing to spend the first 6 months of the year investing in yourself and your business – growing that first $150,000 in annual revenue.
Our next live coaching call is January 7, 2025. And you’ll be so excited to show up already building momentum.
If you haven’t given yourself The Gift, now is the time to do so.
The minute you say yes, you’ll be on a different trajectory.
