This week, this guest episode is a bit different than the others in our summer series. This week is a replay of a training Bree Herman gave to my group coaching group all about keeping more money in your pocket.
Bree, a bookkeeper and wealth coach on a mission to help female business owners maximize their profitability and cash flow without sacrificing their lifestyle. As a mom to her son Everett and wife to her best friend Chris, Bree understands the importance of finding that perfect balance between building a thriving business and enjoying quality family time.
Together with her husband, Bree owns a homestead in New Hampshire, where they live alongside a plethora of furry and feathered friends, including dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. This down-to-earth setting keeps her grounded and reminds her of the ultimate reason for pursuing financial success – to live life on your own terms.
With her wealth of knowledge and personal experience, Bree is uniquely positioned to guide fellow female entrepreneurs in making smart financial decisions that align with their goals and values. Get ready to be inspired, motivated, and equipped with practical strategies to take your business – and your life – to new heights of prosperity.
I hope you enjoy this replay of this training and feel so much more confident about keeping more money in your pocket as a service provider.

This episode of our Summer Guest Series features one of the most talented people I've had the pleasure of meeting in this online space- Mrs. Abbi Perets!
Abbi's been in the online entrepreneur game for 20 years and I love all of the insight she brings to this episode. She is the queen of copywriting, so naturally we discuss copywriting and emails- two things every service provider should at least be somewhat aware of!
Abbi Perets writes email people actually enjoy reading. If you want to learn how to get your courses, services, and products in front of the people who need them most, Abbi can help. She’s a copywriter with 25 years of experience working with some of the biggest brands in the world, and she’s kind of obsessed with email.
In this episode, Abbi is breaking down:
when you need to put an email list together
why email is important to any business owner (even if you don't have your own email list yet)
how to write emails (and copy in general) that people actually want to read
