Here's my story and why my heart is turned toward entrepreneurs everywhere who just wanna sell more stuff so they can work less, enjoy their lives more.
I launched my dream business at 25 years old in a town of 500 people. I started making jewelry and hosting fun, wild events, watching in shock as my social accounts exploded.
Red Brick Boutique quickly grew into a thriving store and I started to feel like “this is the life I’ve always wanted.”
People would come up to me everywhere…. in my store, after shows, outside the post office, in my inbox and tell me through tears how they always wanted their own business but they never opened. I heard all variations of that story.
It bothered me. A lot.
And it made me want to tell you and every person ever……
Follow through on what you want in your life, even when it feels really hard.
I could hear the voice calling me into the unknown but I resisted, reasoning with myself…..
At 30 years old, I had a thriving store on the brink of a second location. Plus the glamorous lifestyle of traveling all over buying and selling. My fashion shows were completely sold out and my competitors were sitting in the audience. All in a town of 500 people.
The other stores wanted sponsorships and help with their advertising from me. It was awesome. WHY would I walk away from all that?
The last day of my boutique owning days came when I was running from my burning home at 11:49pm with only my one year old in my arms.
One month later my dad died suddenly.
Those two events pushed me to be honest about what I wanted. I decided I had to know what would happen if I followed the voice. So I gladly sold my store to an amazing human and committed to a two day work week learning how to coach.
I tried all the coaching things, but something didn’t feel quite right. Somewhere in between ad writing, high profile consulting and living room coaching I lost myself. And in my frustration of “this isn’t working” I just kind of let it all go.
That decision led me into two full years of recovering from American business owner life as usual.
I didn’t realize it at the time, but of course letting go of my life was exactly what would give birth to the person I am today. And it would teach me the practices I use now to lead others into the profitable, peaceful life.
You want the profits and the peace too? Follow me.
