I have been gone. Not physically. But you know the kind of gone I mean. Before I say anything else, I want to say this. I've changed the group back to free. And anyone who paid for a membership in 2026 has been fully reimbursed. That was not a mistake. That was a decision. Because this is not about money. It is about community. I want to be real with you today because this community deserves that from me. I left corporate America in 2019 and went all in. Within 18 months I had hired my first full-time employee. A year after that, two more across both businesses. Our income more than tripled from where we started. I was nonstop. And then 2024 hit me like a wall. I am still recovering from it financially. And I'm not ashamed to say that. What I want to do over the next few weeks is have an honest conversation with you about being an entrepreneur who is human. Burnout. Seasons. What I actually do when my battery runs out. And how to keep building even when you cannot run. I want to hear from you first. Have you ever hit a wall in your business? Not a slow week. A full stop. Drop a number below. 1 = Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about 2 = I've felt it but pushed through 3 = I haven't yet but I know it's coming Let's start there. 💬

This is what has happened so far: • I built my confidence back again. • In less than 24 hours, I broke my TikTok 😂 —111 people asked for information, and 30 messaged me directly! • One of my reels hit over 18K views, and another got 5K+ views. • In 3 weeks my followers grew from 0 to 520 ( October 24 last time I check) • Over 65 people joined my Skool program in less than a week. And today, October 24th, I sold a program — I’m already almost halfway to my goal! Yes, the money matters, but what’s truly been life-changing is Nicole’s guidance and the supportive community behind this journey. If you’re thinking about it, don’t wait!!! join this November the Zero to 2K Challenge, do everything she says, trust the process, and you’ll shine too.

**This post is Homework for the Zero to 2K Challenge** 🔥 DAY 1 HOMEWORK: Drop Your WHY You just finished your Mindset & Commitment worksheet. Now it's time to make it real by sharing it with this community. Your assignment: Post your answer to ONE of these questions below: 1. What will the $2,000 allow you to do? 2. What will success in this challenge prove to you? 3. Who are you doing this for (including yourself)? The rules: - Be specific, not vague - Be honest, not impressive - Keep it to 2-3 sentences max Why we're doing this publicly: When you declare your WHY to others, it becomes harder to quit. This community will hold you accountable when things get hard. And trust me—someone else needs to hear YOUR why to keep going with theirs. I'll go first in the comments. Drop yours below. No judgment, just support. Let's go.

Real talk, HERO fam... The members of our Founder's Round of The Zero to $2K Challenge have made INCREDIBLE progress over the past few days: ✅ Offers locked in ✅ Sales messaging dialed in ✅ Testimonials gathered ✅ Everything ready to start an avalanche of sales Last week, they did all the hard work. This week? They just had to do the ONE thing that trips up most entrepreneurs: Actually market and advertise their offer. The assignment was simple: Post on social media every day. Tag me so I can support and amplify. Guess how many tags I got yesterday? ZERO. Not a single one. No messages saying "my offer went live." Nothing. And you know what that tells me? The thing tripping THEM up is the same thing tripping YOU up. Here's the truth nobody wants to hear: People cannot buy from you if they don't know about your offer. I promise you're overthinking this. You're putting too much thought into "the perfect post" or "the right time" or "what if nobody responds." Just. Put. It. Out. There. Let people ask questions. Let people engage with you. Let people say no. Let people scroll past. Even if you post for 7 days straight and get ZERO comments, ZERO DMs, ZERO questions... you're still gaining valuable information. You're learning your messaging isn't hitting the right people. And the more you put that off? The longer it will take before you start generating sales. We need to know what the market thinks about your offer. Which means we need to START ADVERTISING IT. So here's what's happening: I'm about to tag our Founder's Round participants below and hold them accountable. Because that's what real support looks like. See how I'm staying on their necks? See how I'm not letting them give up on themselves? Very coachy. Very business-like. Very In dragging you to your first $2K in sales. And if you want this same level of support and accountability? 👉 Sign up for our next round starting November 3rd: HTTPS://2KIN30DAYS.CARRD.CO Because here's what I know: You don't need more information. You don't need another course. You don't need to "work on your mindset" for six more months.
