Was it guesting or was it hosting?
2:13
Yeah, that got my first client.
2:15
It's a little bit of both actually.
2:16
So my very first client in my current program, which is like my main thing that I do right now, it's called Elevate Group Coaching, but I casted the vision on my podcast.
2:26
I said, I'm going to be starting this program.
2:28
This is kind of what it's going to look like.
2:31
And someone reached out to me and she's like, I want to book a call.

well we can hear you now we can hear you now you're very clear and we can top it off smash this podcast we've all got sports days later so can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your journey
1:56
yeah absolutely so I got pregnant after six weeks of meeting my partner my life before this was great I was like just you know Living my best life.
2:07
Just a normal girl.
2:09
So I never really...
2:11
I hadn't gone through massive amounts of hardship.
2:14
And I think that this is why in my life they needed a bit of a downward spiral so that I could actually help other people.
2:20
We opened our cafe when I was about eight months pregnant, which was ridiculous.

So, yeah, I mean, how did that sort
6:46
So what does that mean? What does that look like? How would I even start the process?
6:52
Yeah, it's funny because when people are writing books is actually an example that I use all the time when I share this.
6:59
It's what I call sharing the journey, which seems obvious.
7:02
But like you and I talked about before we hit record, a lot of times writers think they have to wait until the book is ready.
7:09
When I first dipped my toes into entrepreneurship, I was a photographer.
7:14
And photographers, it was the same thing.
7:16
I'll launch my photography business when my website is ready.
