Embrace your “Year of Yes” and watch your business, personal development, and connections thrive. 
If you know me, you know that deep down, I'm a huge introvert. To be honest, the idea of promoting my book, Two Weeks Notice, and doing interviews, speaking on stages, and going to networking events was terrifying! 
But, I decided that 2023 would be my year of saying YES! I had a strong desire to share my book with the world and get it into the hands of those who needed it. So, every tear, every uncomfortable moment – it was all worth it. 
Today, I share my tips on stepping out of your comfort zone, embracing the unknown, and making 2024 your most successful year yet. 
During my “Year of Yes, I took risks, faced rejection, and welcomed vulnerability. And guess what? My business skyrocketed, my personal growth was massive, and my book launch was epic! Now, my sweet friend – it's your turn. 

Tune in for: 

7:00: The key to getting super clear on your goals 

10:23: How to appreciate your growth and the lessons learned no matter the outcome
