I remember like it was yesterday. I was in my little condo in Carl's Bad California.

0:06.4

Hobie wasn't home. Cade wasn't home. It was just me. And I was laying in my bed with my

0:13.4

laptop on my lap. And I hit send on my first email broadcast to get people to check out

0:21.0

my launch videos. And I just sat there. And I think in that moment, this is embarrassing

0:26.6

to admit. I think in that moment, I thought thousands of dollars would roll in. Like I had

0:32.5

seen other people do it. I had been involved in million dollar launches. I had launched

0:37.9

with Tony Robbins. I mean, come on. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. My experience was not what

0:46.1

0:52.1

crickets like no one opened that email for hours. And then slowly, but surely a few people

1:43.9

teaching you here. But I just really need you to know I have had all those failures, my friend,

1:50.0

all of them. And I got past them and you can too.

1:57.4

I'm Amy Porterfield. X Corporate Girl turned CEO of a multi-million dollar business. But it wasn't

2:03.3

all that long ago that I lacked the confidence, money, and time to focus on growing my small but mighty

2:09.4

business. Fast forward past many failed attempts and lessons learned. And you'll see the business
