Zahra Cruzan is a new entrepreneur who finally made it over the "hump", and she generated $8k in less than 3 weeks, but she didn't need a big email list or lots of followers to do it. Zahra is the founder of Brand Author, and she works with entrepreneurs to enter mainstream markets by creating an irresistible brand, and this conversation is all about how she launched her very first online course, along with the major shifts that it led to in all aspects of her life!
