Going from “Netflix and Chill” to Earning Over a Mill!   Have you heard the expression “Netflix and Chill”? My guest this week, LaJuanna Russell, took this expression to a different level when she began her  journey with only $500 and turned that into an 8-MILLION-dollar business! (Yes, you read that right!) In our discussion she debunks the stigma of needing to be big to get bigger.    One of my favorite parts of this discussion was when we addressed what credentials you need to pursue any passion. Can you paint if you haven’t gone to art school, or cook if you haven’t trained with a chef? Of course you can! LaJuanna experienced Imposter Syndrome just like everyone else until she realized that she was already qualified to perform without a piece of paper confirming what she already knew.   If you’ve ever considered a business opportunity but talked yourself out of it because it was “too much”, then you’re listening to the right episode because LaJuanna took on Government Contracting and is not only climbing – she is thriving! Anything is possible and she is living proof of what you can obtain if you have the patience and perseverance to get there!     What’s in This Episode   Formal training will not remove Imposter Syndrome    Wealth isn’t the requirement for success   The challenges of working in government    Recognize the difference between a “pipe dream” and a pipeline”   How to properly price bigger projects    The problem with “guiding” instead of “leading”        What To Do Next Visit lisalarter.com/e60 for the transcript and all resources from this episode.
