Former Teacher Achieves $26,000 Month and $10,000 High-Ticket Sales with Thrive Academy

My biggest breakthrough with Thrive came in the month of January when I had a $26,000 month. From being a public school teacher and making three to 4,000 a month, it really felt so eye-opening that people needed my services and that I was really there to help people. When I discovered the Client Attraction Summit, I'd been running my business for about a year, and some months were successful, some months were not successful. It really felt like random almost, and it didn't feel like I had that great of systems. What happened at that summit was I really connected with the people, and I realized that Jessie and Sharla had some really fantastic advice and systems and tools, and really had so much more than what I was just going for at the summit. So I was really excited by all the resources and all the teamwork and camaraderie and possibilities that Thrive afforded. The biggest difference now since having gone to the Client Attraction Summit is more clarity in the whole process, right? From finding clients, communicating with clients, having those consultation calls, really bringing my heart to the process and not having anything feel salesy. I love that now I'm really excited to help clients, whether it's a yes or a no, and helping them move towards a decision. Sometimes the decision is no, and that's fantastic because I've helped them to make a choice. So coming to that realization that when I'm approaching families and asking if they need support and guidance, I'm really there to help them in any way that I can. The breakthrough came when I really started to look at all the clients I'd worked with, and I started to understand that there are clients that I've helped to make almost $400,000 in scholarships. I help teens find their dream colleges, and I help with the whole process, really understanding my own value, and that by not charging enough, I think families didn't really believe what I was offering. So there was this mind shift that happened when I realized that I needed to increase my prices to be taken seriously. That was really frightening. I was really nervous the first time I asked for those numbers. Even just saying on a call that, "Yes, I charge $10,000 for my services," felt scary. Now that I see students... Just the other day I had a student get a $70,000 a year scholarship. So for a family to invest in me and then never have to pay anything else for college really aligned with my mission and my purpose, and it's really a win-win. The students are helping to support me and the families are supporting me, and then I in turn am there to support those families for really transformational work to radically change their futures. Before joining Thrive, it really felt like there was no end to the work. It was constantly being online, searching for clients, working on posts, working on resources. Since joining Thrive, I've really been very intentional with my own self-care. That means spending more time with my family, spending more time on my health, investing in myself, and the idea that every dollar invested in myself comes back to me tenfold. I feel like I'm happier and my life is a lot easier, and particularly my family life. I think my family is in a better place than we've ever been, and all of us are really happy. When I work, it's not at the expense of my kids. I'm able to have vacations with my kids and be with my kids and be fully present with my kids and trust that when it's time for work, it's time for work, but the rest of the time is really mine, and giving myself permission to make space in the day for myself. Just like any program, it's not for everyone. To really succeed in Thrive, you have to be willing to do the work and to show up and to be honest with yourself and honest with what you do. For people willing to really step up and do the work, and there is a lot to Thrive. There are so many resources there that it's not like taking a magic pill. It is truly this journey that you go on of re-understanding and reexamining every aspect of your business and yourself. The thing that I've come to love the most about Thrive is the community. Right now I'm in a challenge group with some ladies that I just adore. We message each other probably at least five days a week, supporting each other in a real, viable, authentic way, and that feels really powerful.
