3-STEPS TO SELLING AFTER YOUR NEXT SPEAKING GIG... I love my friends and I really love my friends when I get them to drop a NEW BLOG POST. I got @thebreannagunn to stop by @ifindyouclose to share her expertise on funnels and making money AFTER a speaking gig. ⁠
⁠
The steps are simple...⁠
⁠
☑️ Build Trust⁠
☑️ Giving a call to action⁠
☑️ Following up⁠
⁠
...but often overlooked when it comes to a public speaking strategy. Check the link in the bio to read the latest blog post and follow Brea! From creating content marketing processes that generate income to her 6-figure LinkedIn strategy, Brea has a gift of doing sales without being spammy. And yes... I was one of her clients!

HOW I ENVISIONED MY FUTURE WOULD GO... To be honest I have no clue. When I graduated from college as a Computer Scientist, I assumed I would spend my days in a lab programming. Never would have I imagined launching a business around money coaching and somehow sliding into researching speaking opportunities.⁠
⁠
So it is pretty exciting that it is my 2 year anniversary of launching @ifindyouclose. It's funny that no one tells you when you start a business it may not go the way you planned or that you will hit a few walls of failure until something sticks... and sometimes unexpectedly. ⁠
⁠
I do know that the journey is still just beginning but it has been a fun ride so far. 🥂 To the friends that encouraged me, the clients that invested in this little startup and to the people I have met along the way... THANK YOU! 😘⁠

Our podcast reached No.1 in... Romania! To whomever is listening to us over there... THANK YOU!💜💜💜⁠
⁠
And after my co-host bestie @bizpaul informed me that we are a hit in India, we figured we should start planning our live international tour.😆 BTW... we do have a STAN account. Thanks to our No.1 fan @ashleyanicholes.⁠
⁠
Our podcast, Humans Exhaust Me @hem_podcast, was our joint effort to make sense of the events over the last year... and throw serious side-eye at people.⁠
⁠
This has been a fun escape from work and lockdowns but the last three shows are probably the best. ⁠
⁠
👉 We jumped into the world of OnlyFans... If you know, you know.😳⁠
⁠
👉 Then we did a double episode after the Harry and Meghan interview with Oprah. If you want to hear an American and British viewpoint on racism, the royal family and shady family members, tune in! 🤭⁠
⁠
You can find our show on Spotify, your favorite podcast player or click the link in the bio.😘⁠

TO THE MOMS, DADS AND CAREGIVERS... For having to have the hard conversation with your children on why someone would want to do harm to them because of how they look, act, or the color of their skin... You are the real GOATs and deserve all the flowers. As someone who sat on the other side of that talk, you are appreciated. Be easy on yourself. 💜⁠

STOP THE HATE AGAINST ASIAN AMERICANS...⁠
⁠
Never in my life did I think I would be reposting these images. I was very traumatized by the extinguishing of Black lives last year (actually over the years). I WAS NOT OKAY.⁠
⁠
I was also very appalled that we had leaders that were not responsible with their words... that caused people to act without empathy and inhumanely.⁠
⁠
And here we are to today. The words that were uttered as "jokes" and the platforms that have been so grievously misused have brought us to a world where people think it is okay to harm and kill others just going to work and living their lives.

I AM NOT OKAY.
⁠
We have seen this script before... sometimes the cast changes depending on the way the wind is blowing. And yet I keep hearing people say "this is not us." Each day, I question this.⁠
⁠
The violence against fellow Americans, Asian-Americans, is just pure evil. Harming people because of their race is beyond evil. Anyone who thinks this is okay, or think this is excusable... is depraved.⁠
⁠
In the end... words matter. ⁠What words do you have?
⁠
To my Asian friends, peers, former dance team members, former colleagues, bosses, happy hour besties, chat buddies, travel addicts, business women that I support/have supported... you are loved. 💜⁠
