Our mission is to be a leader in the planetary movement to shift
business from a competitive model based on scarcity to a cooperative
model based on unlimited abundance.
So, who I am is a powerful business woman who is sourced by
Spirit. I am also newly married to my amazing husband, Jesse Koren
What event or series of events led to your discovery?
When I registered for acupuncture school, I was confident that since
acupuncture was a “booming field” I would have no problem making a
living at it. After three years and a grueling board exam, I was excited to
finally make the difference I had been dreaming about for three years. I
expected masses of people to flock to me. But was I wrong...
What I discovered was that I still had a lot of healing to do in the
realm of receiving money for my services and feeling good enough about
myself. It wasn’t until I really put myself out there in the world to try to
get clients that I discovered how painful it was to want to serve people
so badly but to not know how to reach them.
It didn’t take long to realize that I was $80,000 in debt from
acupuncture school, and instead of decreasing, my debt was growing.
After a few months, I canceled my gym membership and was on the
verge of giving up organic food because I “couldn’t afford it.”
I was confused because I knew I was divinely guided to help
people, I just didn’t know how to get clients. I was totally scared and
thinking “who’s going to pay me for what I do when I can’t even handle
my own life?”
But if I’ve learned one thing it’s this: whatever problems I’ve
had, there are people out there who have had the same problem and
overcome it. The key is to find those people and learn from them.
A friend, who is a coach and mentor to new coaches told me that
if I worked with him that I would triple my income in three months. At
the time this meant going from $20,000 to $60,000 a year. The only
catch was that I had to do the homework.
I didn’t know what the homework was going to be, and I didn’t
have the money to hire him. But when I checked in with Spirit I knew
that I had to hire this coach to help me.
So, I borrowed the money from Jesse, and signed up for coaching.
When I found out what the homework entailed, I almost fell off my seat.
My homework was to have twenty business conversations per day, five
days a week.
