Amanda, say what's up to Fire Nation and share something that you believe about becoming successful that most people disagree with.

Hello, hello Fire Nation. Thank you so much for having us. I love that question so much. So thank you for asking it. I think one of the biggest things that comes to mind when I think about what people believe that I don't believe you need to have to be successful is the idea that you need to hold the gold.

And what I mean by holding the gold is this idea that you have to keep your best secrets for only people in your program or your courses. The people that are signing up and paying, but the truth is, I believe you need to be sharing that publicly ahead of time.

Because if not, if you're just offering generic information, that's where you are going to get stuck and people, your people are not going to actually see the true value that you have to offer.

Fire Nation, I cannot agree more. Do not hold the gold, the silver, or the bronze. Give it all away because you want people to know, like, and trust you and to be like, wow, if I'm getting this much value, literally for free, imagine that next level.

And you two have an amazing story. I told you just a little bit about it in the introduction, but I really want you, Laura, to do a deep dive for us Fire Nation right now.

How the heck did you go from seven women to seven figures? What does that even mean?

Yeah, so it's kind of a crazy story. So Amanda and I have actually we've been best friends since we've been 14 years old.

And we actually, you know, went through high school together all of the teenage years together of being pretty unhealthy and getting into a lot of unhealthy habits.

And then we moved into college and kind of ended up on that path that many of us and probably a lot of your listeners to have thought you have to go on.

So, you know, get the corporate job, you know, work your way up the ladder by the house, do all the things.

And we really hit a wall in our mid 20s. Really around, you know, our health.

So we were overworked, we were overweight, we were struggling with that anxiety and the stress of really trying to, you know, build up your career at that age.

And we kind of had that moment where I think I think a lot of people have this where you just start to question like, is this, is this it?

Like, is this really going to be the path for me?
