facebook_floppedlaunchGrowing up in USSR, where owning a business was out of the question and individualism, creativity and being distinct weren’t praised, I had no appropriate business role models to learn from.

So, the first two years of building my own business were a steep learning curve.  After a while, my individual practice picked up, which was certainly an achievement.

However, I knew that selling my services one-to-one would not be enough to achieve my financial goals.

That’s when I first started thinking of creating a leverage income product.  A few weeks later I opened the virtual doors to my first group program.  I was giddy with excitement.  When only 2 people joined, I was absolutely heartbroken.

I felt totally helpless. I wanted to make a greater impact with my work.  I had a grandiose vision of where I wanted to be.

But there was a huge gap between where I was and where I wanted to be in the future that I couldn’t bridge.

That’s when I discovered Tara Gentile’s 10ThousandFeet.  The timing couldn’t have been better.  It was exactly what I needed—the 10.000 feet view of my business.

After 3 moths in the program, I emerged with an unprecedented clarity of how to bring the vision for my business to life and meet my financial goals.

Fast forward another 3 months and the launch of my new group program.  My goal was 10 participants…, 25 would blow my mind.  When I closed the cart two weeks later, I had 42 amazing business owners who had joined the program.

I had 21 times as many participants for a program that was twice as expensive as the program I launched the year before.

My second launch has exceeded my wildest dreams, but that wasn’t even the ultimate win.

What Tara gave me were the tools I needed and a system I could follow to create offerings that would not fail.

I’m endlessly grateful to Tara that she pushed me to examine the foundation of my business and gave me the tools to fill in the gaps.  I have finally found the mentor and the role model I always wanted.
