Confession #022: "The one thing that would bring in money was the one thing I didn't want to do." with Kristen Domingue

 
 
“There came a moment of truth where I was like, ‘There’s going to be no cash flow in 30 days and I don’t want to do the one thing I’ve convinced everyone I can do. What am I going to do?’”
— Kristen Domingue, Personal Brand Development Expert

My friend, Kristen Domingue, is a personal brand expert and helps entrepreneurs build a brand that is 100% authentic. No B.S., no unnecessary elements, no "shoulds", just brilliantly you. Kristen's journey to where she is in her life and business today was anything but direct. And she's totally transparent about that. So refreshing!

She admits there was a lot of questioning, course correction and do-overs over the years, but ultimately she persevered and found her calling. Confessing that it was only when she allowed herself to be the most unabashed expression of herself that she found her groove -- and her happiness.

In this Clarity Confession, Kristen is revealing all and sharing her story, wisdom and advice with us.

 
 

This girl is awesome. Passionate. Focused. Business-minded. Open and honest. And, when you listen to her Clarity Confession, you'll learn...

  • What her first year in business really looked like
  • The best way to find your positioning or niche, and how Kristen’s was “handed to her on a silver platter”
  • Why you need outside input to achieve big insights and make big leaps
  • The single best thing she’s done for her business...EVER
  • How to easily and effectively determine if you should say “yes” to any opportunity

P.S. Do you ever wonder if the business you're building is really and truly aligned with what you're supposed to be doing with you life?

That's the ultimate question that we purpose-driven entrepreneurs face, right?

Is what I'm doing "on track" with my life's purpose?

And, it's a big, overwhelming question.

Sure, we all have rough days or even weeks when we're feeling down-in-the-dumps about our business - that's normal. But if you're questioning if you need to pivot your path in order to more fully align with your true purpose, I want to invite you to join me for a summer of soulful expansion for your business and life. I’m looking for 4 women to work with 1-on-1 this summer, are you one of them?

Confession #011: “I made 6-figures in my first 6 months of business” with Jennifer Jayde

 
 
“I made 6-figures in my first 6 months of business”
— Jennifer Jayde, Dream Business Coach

I first met Jen a few years ago at an amazing mastermind event at The Plaza in New York City. We instantly hit it off (as I’m sure you’ll be able to tell from our conversation!), and I knew she would have so much to bring to The Clarity Confessions. 

Jennifer Jayde is an international dream-business coach, speaker and mentor for female entrepreneurs who desire worldwide impact with their purpose-driven business. After a significant loss in her family, she awakened to the fact that life was meant to be lived on our own terms, in alignment with our highest calling. A common thread throughout Jennifer's story is that she consistently followed the familiar "tap on the shoulder" to follow her passion . From a full-time, 100% commission-based mortgage broker at the age of 22 to an esteemed wedding photographer winning regional awards at 26, Jennifer uses her years of business experience to help women around the world find their purpose and live it.

In the first 6 months of her coaching business, Jennifer grew from 0 to 6 figures, is consistently sold out of her 1x1 program, and at the time of this interview, had recently sold out her brand new signature Dream Starter Program. 

 

When you listen to Jen’s Clarity Confession, you’ll learn...

  • The secret to becoming an “overnight success” story
  • The best investment she’s ever made 
  • How to serve from the overflow
  • Why listening to nudges is essential for business success
  • How to get her 8 min morning ritual for better energy
