The best $2500 investment I’ve ever made

I want to tell you a story about my mentor and dear friend, who completely transformed the trajectory of my business and the most meaningful opportunities that have opened up to me in the past 12 years. And the wild thing is, I almost didn’t do it.  

One of the best investments I've ever made.

In 2013, I attended a 2-day business mastermind in New York City with Jonathan Fields, founder of Good Life Project®.

When the invitation popped into my inbox, I had already invested five figures in my first business coach (which was so scary at the time). I couldn’t possibly invest in anything else, I thought. I was scared to tell my husband. 

On top of that, I had to navigate childcare, plane flights, and a hotel room. It wasn’t just an investment of money. It was also time away from home and work, logistical kung fu, and facing emotional resistance. 

But something in my heart knew I had to be in that room. Jonathan had been my mentor from afar. I had watched his videos and listened to his podcasts and felt a deep resonance with his ethos on business and life.

I didn’t know what results I’d walk away from, especially since it was only two days. But I got my  🍑 on the airplane 💺 and made it happen. 

What happened because I said YES to two days: 

I hopped on the phone several times with Jonathan for mentorship and guidance as I was navigating selling my half of Simple Green Smoothies and writing She Builds. 

Jonathan invited me to speak at his event RevU Live in NYC and Camp GLP.

He vouched and introduced me to Chris Guillbeau to deliver a keynote in front of 3,000 people at World Domination Summit, where I met my literary agent for She Builds.

I got paid $5,000 to be a guest mentor and participate in a retreat in Costa Rica.

I was featured in Jonathan’s book How to Live a Good Life.  

I’ve been a guest on the top-rated podcast, Good Life Project 3 times and I’m a featured mentor on the SPARKED podcast (a LinkedIn Collaboration).

I met a friend and soul sister, Amy Groome, at the 2-day mastermind (she flew out to see me speak at WDS in 2014, flew out to see my book signing event in 2022, and we text all the time).

When we’re stuck… when we’re ready to level up… when we want to make more meaning and money… we need a community and mentorship. 

We must also step away from our daily lives to see the bigger picture. 

As entrepreneurs, we have to invest in ourselves again and again, so that our businesses can grow. There are no shortcuts.

Your vision is worth it. Your business is worth it. You’re worth it. 

I'd love for you to join me in California for the She Builds Business Retreat on September 11 – 12.

It will be a distraction-free zone where you can focus on setting yourself up for success for the rest of 2025. And also feel steady, excited, and grounded for 2026. 

And guess what? It's 2 days. My hope is it's the best investment you've ever made, too.

You’ll receive personalized coaching on your 6-month business plan and participate in a mastermind with other mission-driven women.

There's magic when you're with people in person over 2 days. You don’t know who you’ll meet that can open a really BIG door for you.

Press “pause” on the busy hamster wheel of life, clear the noisy chatter out of your mind, and make space to envision what you want to create next. You’ll return to your business feeling refreshed, inspired, and clear because you’ll have a tangible plan in your hands. 

If you run a growing business (or maybe plateaued and need more clarity ASAP), now’s your time to make the best investment you’ve ever made. 

Leap and bet on yourself.

Warm hugs,
