If you're not showing up on Google when buyers are ready to spend, you're leaving money on the table. But don’t stress—I’ve got you covered.

Now, let’s dive into today's podcast. I had a major epiphany this past weekend while reviewing my business growth over the last 16 years. I noticed a pattern: during periods of growth, there were a few key factors. But one thing consistently stood out—it wasn’t a marketing hack or strategy. It was being part of a mastermind.

Why am I so fired up about masterminds? Let me break it down:

1. Intentionality—We showed up to learn, grow, and implement.
2. Consistency—Same time, every other week, no excuses.
3. Authenticity—A safe space to share real struggles and get real support.
4. Accountability—We took action and then reported back on what worked.

If you're ready to level up and keep your momentum going, my mastermind might just be the secret sauce you need. Tune in to hear more about the success I've seen and what makes this mastermind different from the rest. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it!
