From costly business partnerships and legal missteps to personal regrets and missed financial opportunities, I'm pulling back the curtain on my biggest screw-ups so you don't have to make the same ones. 

This isn't a conversation about regret; it's about reflection. Tune in now and to let us know which of these you can relate to the most, and make sure to tune in next week for Part Two, where I’ll be revealing the best decisions I’ve ever made!

Think multi-6 figure launches selling high-ticket products, from a single webinar, is impossible? Think again! In this episode, I sit down with Mel Wells, a best-selling author, feminine embodiment coach, and global speaker, right here in Sedona, as she reveals how she built her 7-figure business by design. 

In fact, Mel is generating more revenue in her business by simply selling less offers, less products, less often, and as a result, is enjoying life more, and she shares it all with us today. 

As we just wrapped up our 2025 training of The Rise of the Digital CEO, I thought this was the perfect episode to show what’s possible with the revenue and impact you can achieve when you put in the time, effort and consistency!
