Learn How to Remove the 7 Money Blind Spots So That You Can Finally Scale and Build Your Business to 7-Figures and Beyond!
Hey, superstars!
In today’s episode, I’ll share my favorite, proven strategies for getting in front of champagne clients.
If you know me, you know I’m all about proactively growing your business. When I moved to the States 12 years ago, I didn’t know anyone. I asked myself, How do I get started when nobody knows me?
I built my business from the ground up by focusing on what worked back in Europe. I aligned with my natural strengths and began tapping into speaking engagements with business owners.
Why speaking? Because it gives us instant credibility.
We don’t need to speak to large audiences; we just need the right people in the room and the courage to make offers.
Come and join me in this episode of Get Rich Without Being A Bitch: Proven Strategies to Attract Champagne Clients.

Hey, superstars!
In this episode, we will unpack a juicy topic — how to confidently raise your rates and craft irresistible counter-offers to attract high-value “champagne clients” who truly appreciate your work.
Women entrepreneurs often feel a lot of fear around raising prices, especially when faced with rejection. It’s tempting to backtrack after hearing a “no,” but learning to navigate this discomfort can open doors to transformative opportunities.
Remember, every “no” clears the path for your “yeses.” The right clients, the ones who truly see your worth, are waiting for you. Make that offer!
Come and join me in this episode of Get Rich Without Being A Bitch: Raising Your Rates: How to Counter-Offer.

In this episode, we will unpack a game-changer in elevating your offers — the power of silence.
Sales conversations can feel awkward and nerve-wracking, especially because traditional methods focus on pitching.
Here’s the key: Once you’ve presented your offer and stated your fees, the most impactful tool you can use is remaining silent. Say what you need to, then stop talking—and let the pause work in your favor.
I invite you to start practicing getting more comfortable with silence. It’s a skill that can create space for genuine connection and confident decision-making.
Come and join me in this episode of Get Rich Without Being A Bitch: Offers And The Power Of Silence.

Are you ready to take a proactive approach to growing your business?
In today’s episode, I’ll share the #1 metric you need to boost your revenue: tracking the number of offers you make.
One of the biggest opportunities for growth in small businesses, especially among women, is overcoming the fear of making offers. Waiting for clients to come to you isn’t a strategy—it’s a missed opportunity.
Growth happens when you take proactive steps. Put yourself out there, make offers, and track how many you’re making.
Remember, success starts with action—take charge, be bold, and get rich without being a bitch.

Are you stuck, or just not seeing results? Maybe it's not you—maybe it's your coach.
In this episode, we will explore the difference between a coach and a mentor — and help you determine what kind of support you need.
Coaching is about asking powerful questions to uncover a client's insights, while mentoring comes from individuals who have already achieved specific goals and are sharing their experiences and proven roadmaps.
You need someone with a clear system to guide you toward your vision while providing the right support and accountability.
As we approach the end of the year, it's worth asking: Is it time to change your coach? If so, what questions should you be asking to find the right fit?
Come and join me in this episode of Get Rich Without Being A Bitch: Coaches vs. Mentors: Identifying the Right Support for Your Business Growth.

Today, let's explore a key leadership requirement for business owners: crafting a compelling vision.
A lack of clear vision can leave us susceptible to burnout, but it's equally important that this vision is uniquely ours and truly aligned with who we are.
I encourage you to reflect deeply—ask yourself the champagne question (what success would look like if everything worked out perfectly) and notice the moments you're holding back or compromising on your vision.
While society often imposes its definitions of success, your vision is yours to define. Be intentional about identifying what you don't want and uncovering any limiting beliefs holding you back.
Finally, I invite you to nurture your vision actively. Declare it boldly and commit to becoming the person who can bring it to life.
Be inspired in this episode of Get Rich Without Being A Bitch: Crafting A Compelling Vision For Your Business.

In business, are you playing to win or playing not to lose?
I draw inspiration from my love of tennis to reflect on how I show up in business. Often, it's easier to recognize our patterns in areas outside of work—and then apply those insights.
This conversation isn't just about "winning" but committing to what aligns with and sustains your energy. It's about focusing on what you stand to gain rather than being driven by fear.
When we play not to lose, we make decisions rooted in fear, keeping us in our comfort zones. On the other hand, playing to win requires courage—it's about stepping beyond familiar boundaries to pursue what truly matters.
You are the leader of your life and business. How you show up creates a powerful ripple effect, influencing everything else—and it all starts with you.

In this episode, we’re addressing the #1 excuse that keeps people from moving forward: time.
Do you often find yourself saying, “I’m too busy” or “I don’t have time to pursue my dreams”? It’s tempting to let these phrases become a shield, protecting us from the discomfort of chasing what truly matters. We often prioritize everything else over our own aspirations.
I’ve been there—juggling an overflowing calendar and wearing my busyness like a badge of honor. But instead of fulfillment, it brought stress and the realization of just how precious time truly is.
We often equate being busy with success, but in reality, it’s often our ego at play. True success comes from recognizing that time is our most valuable asset.

Learn How to Remove the 7 Money Blind Spots So That You Can Finally Scale and Build Your Business to 7-Figures and Beyond!
Hey, superstars! Today, let's get honest:
Are you coachable?
In this episode, we answer a listener's question: "How do you know when you're ready for a coach, and what do we look for in coaching clients?"
If you're committed to growth and self-improvement, then you're already on the path to being ready for coaching.
Change can be intimidating for some—and working with a coach is all about change. It requires openness, honesty, and a willingness to examine what's working (and what isn't).
I'm passionate about coaching because everyone can benefit from it.
So I invite you to stay open to new possibilities, embrace a growth mindset, and take your business to the next level.
Come and join me in this episode of Get Rich Without Being A Bitch: Getting A Coach: When Are You Ready?
