Let me introduce myself... MY FIRST YEAR AS AN ENTREPRENEUR IN 2013 I MADE A GRAND TOTAL OF $600 I quit my job at the end of June and started my entrepreneurial journey. The first month, July, I made a whooping $60. This was, mind you, with me throwing myself at it with EVERYTHING I had. Putting in 12 hour days trying to learn and apply online marketing and sales techniques. Now, frankly... I was damn proud of the $60 I'd made that first month. Money I made online from home. It confirmed to me it was possible. And I failed CONSTANTLY. Multiple times daily. In fact I'm pretty sure I found NEW ways to fail. But I didn't care. I needed it to work more than I needed to save my ego from being bruised. I got curious about the fails and why it didn't work and simultaneously the RARE time something I did yielded results I then had a new tool to use. It was tooth and nail for years. My second year in business I made roughly $2000. The 3rd year about $3600. Slow. Slow. Slooooow growth. Despite the time it took I was determined that success was inevitable. I continued learning, growing, and implementing. It wasn't easy. Even though in my heart I believed in my success, there was doubt and fear and frustration. In 2016 my husband lost his job and everything changed... That year I was earning $600-1000 a month, and while that had been a huge leap forward from previous years, it certainly wasn't enough to pay our mortgage, car payments, utilities, feed us, etc. I was terrified. I couldn't face ever going back to work for anyone else ever again. So I did the one thing I'd been avoiding... I turned inward. I dove into money mindset and Manifestation. I embodied all the woo. Strategy had only gotten me so far, and I had a hollering in my soul that told me that mindset was the key to the next level. It was a challenging 6-months that followed, that tested me emotionally, mentally, and spiritually... and after years living under the poverty line we manifested over 6-figures. Our lives radically changed.

I’m Neika, hello from South Florida. I’ve been working in healthcare for over 15 years. I’m a nurse practice and have been building a practice, offering women a root cause approach to their cardio, metabolic health, perimenopause, and menopausal symptoms. I work with some women with PCOS, weight loss and nutrition.. My struggle has been creating consistency and strategies to grow my following and generate revenue. I hope to be able to pick up some pearls and best practices from those who share within this group.

Most people think they need a better freebie… A prettier one. A more valuable one. Something with “more value.” But that’s usually not the problem. The problem is… freebies don’t build momentum on their own. They rely on you constantly showing up, posting, pushing, promoting… And that gets exhausting fast. This is why I love bundles. Because instead of trying to grow alone… you’re building something together. More visibility. More reach. More trust… faster. And yes… more subscribers who actually care. I just dropped a new podcast episode breaking this down — why bundles convert differently (and better). If you’ve been feeling stuck with list growth…this might be the shift you need. Less posting… more hosting. Listen here 🎧https://juliecbutler.com/hosting-a-bundle-conversions/

Okay… fun Friday question for you 💛 If you could go back to the very beginning of your business… Knowing what you know now… What would you do differently? Would you: ✨ Start building your email list sooner? ✨ Focus less on content… more on getting in front of new people? ✨ Say yes to more collaborations? ✨ Actually host something instead of waiting? 👀 I’ll go first… I would’ve stopped trying to grow alone…and started getting in the right rooms way sooner. Everything changed when I did that. Your turn 👇What would you do differently?

Okay… I’ve been reading through all your answers 👀 And here’s what I’m noticing… A lot of you said: → “I want an offer that converts” → “I want more subscribers” → “I want more visibility” But underneath that… What I’m really seeing is: ✨ You don’t need more ideas ✨ You don’t need more content 👉 You need the right people in front of what you already have Because when that clicks… → your list grows → your offers convert → your business actually feels easier So instead of asking: “What should I create next?” Try asking: 👉 “Where am I showing up… and who is actually seeing this?” Curious… What feels more true for you right now?
