“Untitled” Workshop: The Single Most Important Thing You’ve Done for Your Online Business Maybe Ever

Listen in on the phenomenal live webinar we offered this week. This information will change countless lives and give more women opportunities. I'm sharing clear strategies for scaling a business that most people don’t know about. We aren't messing with trendy marketing tactics that don’t work the same way for everyone. Every business is different and one person’s success does not define your own.

That’s why I'm sharing the exact strategies and facts that will bring you success (and not just the shiny, sexy ones). You need this information. I will redefine what transparency looks like in this industry because it was not easy to get to where I am today. This is my genuine desire to see you succeed! If you'd like to see the slides that went along with this, you can watch the full video replay at bossproject.com/untitled-training.

1-Sale to 439 Leads in 48-Hours

I went from one sale to 439 leads in just 48 hours and I’m going to tell you exactly how I did it! I recently took the biggest gamble I have ever taken in my business. I refunded tickets to my upcoming Sales Flow workshop and scrapped everything my team and I had spent weeks preparing for. I did this because only one ticket was bought in 24 hours when I announced my workshop. This mission is far too important to me to let one dry season put me under. You only have one life and I want women everywhere to have choices, opportunities, and freedom! I can only make the kind of impact I want to make if more women in business know what I know.

Prioritizing Your Life When Shit Hits the Fan

I like to see this time of year as the opportunity to dive back in and come up with a fresh approach to plan for the future! This season can be about refining what you have built so that your business can continue to support you for a long time. I know that many of you use this time to make new goals and create new opportunities, but today I want to talk about what it looks like to prepare your business so that you’re ready when life comes at you again. Shit is going to hit the fan whether you want it to or not and I want you to build a business that can survive that without being so dependent on you. Personally, I never want to be financially dependent on anyone else and I know that many of you feel the same way! You want your business to work even when life gets thrown your way. You aren’t trying to fix the ‘shit,’ you’re trying to live and work while it’s happening!

I know a lot of you may not know the answer and that is okay! It’s not about knowing the answer, it’s about using this as a jumping-off point.

Grief and Grit: Balancing Life with Business

What do grief and grit mean for women who are balancing life and business? Sometimes, experiencing enormous hurt and pain turns you into the most authentic version of yourself. The topic of grief is incredibly personal and important to me because it is one of the primary reasons for my growth and success. Often, parts of life become a blur, and pieces of memory are missing. Those are the same periods of time that fuel a change in you. I know there is a huge need to focus on mental health and wellbeing because who you are and how you show up in the world will affect how you will show up in your business. As I think back on the timelines of my life, I realize that I am not alone in my struggles through traumatic experiences.

Part 4: Our New Era - The Future Vision of Boss Project

Boss Project is going through its biggest transition yet! For the last 24 months, Abagail has been almost exclusively in the finance and sales side of the company. She’s been creating spreadsheets, thinking about company benefits, sales processes, hiring, HR, and more. That has meant she’s been out of the marketing game. She simply hasn’t been thinking about social media and sales funnels for two years and she’s excited to dive back in! You can expect experimentation as she gets her feet wet; trying and testing different things. It’s going to be focused, it’s going to be intentional, and it’s definitely going to be fun!
