…that she never had time to give a shit about strategic online branding or sales funnels.
So… if you never saw her in an “online coaches’ summit,” or never ran into a “lead magnet” of hers on social media, that’s why.
(She still doesn’t know what the fuck a “lead magnet” is, so… if you don’t either, that’s not a problem.)
and… after the first 10 minutes of sitting in her training, you might forget all of the above because you’ll be so busy laughing from how funny and swear-y she is.
And after the first day of training, your brain will be a puddle of goo on the floor — in the best way. And all your old ideas of who you were and what is possible will be completely dissolved, leaving you feeling damn near reborn.
