Summary

I recently received a question I really wanted to answer:

“What is the biggest piece of advice you have for someone in year 2 of their business who has made zero dollars so far?”

So in this episode I’m sharing:

What I focused on in the first 2 years of my business (and it wasn’t making money).
The money blocks that held me back (and how I overcame them).
The one conversation that changed everything for me (and how I made $2000 in 1 hour after that).
Powerful questions you need to ask yourself if you aren’t making money in your business yet.
The simple processes you need to build in your business to set yourself up to make money.

0:00.0	What is holding you back? Is there anything blocking you? If you don't have awareness around
0:05.5	what's going on and why you're experiencing what you're experiencing, it's really hard to do
0:10.6	anything about it. Hello, hello. I am in the office. My candle is lit. It smells lovely in here. And I am ready for recording this
0:25.0	podcast and having this conversation. So I recently received a question from somebody and I really
0:33.5	wanted to answer it in an episode on the She Me's Business Show. So the question was this.
0:39.1	What is the biggest piece of advice you have for someone in year two of their business, but who has
0:45.2	made zero dollars so far? Such an amazing question. I really want to talk about this because
0:53.0	I know that so many people start
0:55.6	businesses and then they really struggle with making money and then they get a year or two years down

1:38.6	nominal. By the end of the second year, I hadn't made any money. And in fact, I had completely run out of money and was really in a frustrating situation. And so many people said to me, carry what you're doing. You can't just do things for free, a business is to make money, like all those things.
2:03.3	Part of me felt like, oh my gosh, like, oh, like, I'm not making money and this is really
2:08.6	frustrating and, you know, when am I going to have that breakthrough? And the other part
