In this episode, Karen and Ruth discuss: 

• Success Story of Ruth 
• Commit to Get Leads 
• • Refine your message, grow your audience, then monetize – it’s easy to sell to your customers because they already know, like, and trust you. 
• Consult to Sell 
• • You should feel fanatical about your brand because you know it will help and serve them in some way. If you don’t feel that way, you’re selling the wrong thing. 
• Connect to Build and Grow 
• • Have your core team that you can trust, that can hold you accountable, and can help provide ideas and visions. 
• Success Thinking, Activities and Vision 
• • Keep going forward, even when you’re scared, then look back later and connect the dots to figure out where the next future is coming from. 
• Sweet Spot of Success 

"It’s really hard to start thinking about going after big goals and dreams until you’ve created some peace and cohesion at home.’"- Ruth Hollander Soukup
