Sapphire was A HUGE part of my story and freedom. Seeing the studio and signing up for the training gave me the "excuse" haha - that I needed to hunker down in LA and ground. And the fact that it led me to my home?! I am so grateful for you!!
UM; this. Thank you!!! Literally exactly what I needed to read.
ALSO Grace, I just used your pitch template to pitch a new potential client. As soon as I got on the call she said "your email stood out amongst over 30." so, thank youuu
I’ve been a big follower of [Brand] for years and continue to love your [insert product you love and why].
I’m a [insert title] consultant focused on helping [their type of brand] grow and [more]. I’ve worked with brands like [insert brands, only if relevant]. You can get a taste of my work here: [LinkedIn/portfolio/social].
I’d love to be a resource for you if you’re ever looking for [your service]. I think we could really take your [whatever] to the next level.
I want to start by saying I'm just voicing my feelings after reading this. Stumbling on this article feels like a different world lol... Nothing you wrote is relatable to me personally and when I went to the comments for insight, nothing there was relatable either! Which is why it feels so surreal! I feel like I was wandering around an anime convention and opened a door where a big meeting full of strangers dressed in suits was taking place.
I have a very small amount of debt and want more income, so I read this, but I can't tell what you even do for work. I'm supposed to sell my car that's already worth nothing in an area with no public transportation and hopefully have a friend offer to lend me their car and then do things differently with my clients, but I don't have any clients in the first place. I have kids so I can't just sell and leave necessities like our stable place to live. (Honestly, it sounds very Rich Dad, Poor Dad lol...)
It feels like the Twilight Zone or maybe this is an add-on to a bigger website that I know nothing about? Is this a piece connected to something you're selling? In any case, it's so interesting to come across a community that lives so differently from the people I know!
Hi Ariel! Thanks for sharing this :) I totally hear you—my story is drastic. I'm single and have been a brand marketing consultant for 10 years. I'm not trying to say everyone should be able to follow this formula, I'm just sharing what worked for me in case there's any piece that can inspire or help others.
A lot of the comments are from my community, who are already familiar with my brand/marketing services and past clients. I share more about them in other Substacks, on my Instagram, and on TikTok. My content focuses on teaching freelancers how to freelance, find their marketable skill, set their prices, and find clients. I post free content every day about this :)
I'm not selling anything in this post—it's a very honest, personal story, and I hope you can feel that in my writing! Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment ❤️
Thanks for replying to help dispel my confusion! I was worried my comment would come across as me thinking every content online should be relatable for me lol, but I really just felt compelled to share my bewildered feelings. Like I said, it felt like I came across a whole different world! :) Very interesting!
Grace!! You inspired me to sell my jeep back in 2022 and I got more than what i paid for it, paid all my debt off and now have more savings than I ever had—bought a car and a house a year later😊
Loved reading this!! I am also in a lot of debt right now, and without steady/any income for the first time in my life — -‘s can’t tell you how much I needed to read this.
Lovely lovely story. And yes shifting your energy IS the way to shift your reality!! Sounds like you had a nice mentor along the way who helped you see and show up as your worth ✨ I feel on a similar but different journey and I feel this abundance literally flowing from within🦋😁
Absolutely loved this and am massively inspired! I haven't followed TBM in years, but I totally remember you and I'm delighted that Lord Algorithm brought you around to me again! xo
More personal novels pls
