What if the thing standing between you and your first six-figure year isn’t strategy, talent, or timing - but rather your willingness to show up before it feels perfect and put in the reps?

In this episode, I’m unpacking what Amy Porterfield’s recent decision to close Digital Course Academy and pivot into a new coaching model really means for those of us who are still in the building phase of our businesses.

I’m sharing:

• How Amy personally encouraged me to start this podcast and what that moment taught me about showing up consistently
• Why “putting in the reps” is the unglamorous but essential path to sustainable income
• The 5 core reps every pre–six-figure entrepreneur needs to be practicing consistently
• How to build quietly, test what works, and create a repeatable system you can scale

This episode is one part pep talk, one part real-world strategy, and one part reminder that success doesn’t happen overnight, it’s built through consistency, clarity, and courage.
