445: From $0 to 7 Figures: What it REALLY Took to Start My Business at 23

My Business Playbook

Ever wondered what it really takes to start a business from scratch—and scale it to seven figures? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own journey, sharing the raw, unfiltered truth about what it took to go from a 23-year-old with a coffee bag and a dream, to leading a thriving business.

From the humbling first days (think: showing up in cafes hoping for a 'yes') to navigating the complexities of scaling, this episode is for anyone who’s ever felt that pull to start something big. I’m breaking down the lessons, the missteps, and the behind-the-scenes moments that shaped my business and me as a founder.

You'll Learn:

• The mindset shifts that took me from selling coffee beans to selling out my own services
• How to balance being both the creative and the strategist in your business
• Why embracing "scrappiness" helped me survive the early days—and how it can work for you
• My best tips for turning creative skills into a sustainable, scalable business
• The role community and connection played in my journey, and why they’re essential to any entrepreneur’s success
