I had to leave the nail salon (client emergency)


Reader

It is wild when you experience your business running the way you intended it to.

I did a random email check one night and saw that someone had purchased my video audit... that I didn't know about. A little curious, I checked my Stripe notifications to figure out where it came from. A mini celebration, and I sat down and got to work.

At the end of the video, I shared how she could work with me further and she said yes! So I sent her the payment link... no big deal!

Now I am sitting getting my nails done, and while I was waiting for the pedicure chair, my nail tech took off the coating of my dip nails

(I proudly can say my long nails are 100% mine).

As I have just finally gotten access to my fingers and transitioned to the massage chair I had been dreaming about, I casually checked my email...

Not only had she paid for my Strategy session, she booked for 30 minutes from the time I was checking my email.

In a mad dash, I told my nail lady I had to go home and I would be back at 5:30—a client had booked with me. All of the folks in the shop laughed because I go there all the time and this is very on brand for me!

My business was not always like this.

Where clients are popping into my inbox all the time.

When I started, I would sign up for FREE anything just to learn how to grow a successful business.

Even with a successful business... I don't say NO to free when I am curious about something new.

It is actually how I test the waters to see if I want to move forward.

Just like my client did when she found me through a friend sharing my business through a bundle like this one.

The Little Black Friday Business Bundle is your must-have for effortlessly elevating your business to new heights, without the stress.

35+ online business owners have provided premium resources that are normally paid products, for free, to help you level up your business, your wellness... your life.

I'm collaborating with my business friend Christiane Schroeter on this bundle, and trust me—with this group of generous women, you're going to want to get your hands on these resources!

  • Nicole's Pre-Launch Jumpstart Kit is one I personally cannot wait to dive into!

… and that's just a taste of the resources that have been curated in this incredible free bundle! 🤩

Because you never know...the free resource you grab today might be the decision that has you running out of the nail salon in six months because a dream client just booked.

That's how it works when you invest in learning from the right people.

P.S. Yes, I went back to the nail salon at 5:30. No, my nail tech was not surprised. And yes, those nails are 100% mine and still looking fabulous while I close deals. 💅

P.P.S. The bundle is only available November 11-18. Don't be the person who misses out because you thought you'd "get to it later." Later is how you miss opportunities. Now is how you create them.

Hey Reader, Many of us hope for a magic bullet... but that isn't what we need. What we need is the ability to know what that ONE thing is we should be doing right now. I was recently invited to speak at the 1 Thing Audio Summit, where I shared the one thing I think all entrepreneurs should be doing in 2026 in order to make a big impact on their business. I am going all in on the Power Hour process that has helped me hit $25k months and growing. I also share a sample of my Brand Productivity...

Reader...I've got beef with the day after Turkey Day. It might come from my days of working in retail and watching even some of my favorite luxury brands succumb to the hype. I swear I still hear "Stack 'em High and Watch 'em Fly" in my nightmares this time of year, ANYTIME I see a sweater table at the mall. This Saturday, I was driving back from getting my Flu and TDap vaccines so I can spend the holidays with a family member who has cancer, and I needed to drive through the mall parking...

Hey Reader, Hot take: I don't like It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. For me, it all sounds like the teacher talking in the background... womp womp womp womp womp. My mother, for some reason, seems to think you play it from Halloween to Thanksgiving. Now, I don't understand why Linus waits around in a pumpkin patch, but Snoopy was petty for getting his hopes up. Yet... I kind of respect it. Speaking of waiting around for something that may or may not show up. Don't be Linus with this...
