Greetings Reader, and Happy Sunday!
​
I wanted to take a moment on this beautiful Sunday evening to pause, reflect, and celebrate something powerful, because this month, we’re not just honoring achievements, we’re honoring courage.
​
October is National Women’s Small Business Month, a time to honor every woman who’s ever had the courage to dream big, start small, and keep going when things got messy.
​
So today, I’m celebrating YOU… and every woman who’s dared to build something out of nothing.
​
Because here’s the truth: no business journey is neat, perfect, or Instagram-ready. It’s unpredictable. It’s courageous. It’s beautifully ugly.
​
That’s why I’m so proud to share that this weekend, along with 30 incredible co-authors, both men and women, I became an Amazon Best-Selling Author with our book Starting Ugly: 230 Brutally Honest Truths About Bootstrapping Your Online Business.​
​
This isn’t a “how-to” manual; it’s a real-talk roadmap filled with unfiltered stories from entrepreneurs who’ve done it afraid, failed forward, and learned how to build without waiting for perfect.
​
Whether you’re just starting out or reinventing yourself, this book is your permission to begin again — boldly, bravely, and beautifully messy.
​
Grab your copy today (it's only $.99) and get the truth about what it really takes to start and grow something that matters.
​
Because I have an international audience, here are the top 3 links:

UK - ​https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DMH51122​​
CA - ​https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0DMH51122​​
​
Here’s to the women who start before they feel ready, keep showing up when no one’s watching, and turn their imperfect beginnings into extraordinary impact.
​
​To Your UNAPOLOGETIC Success!
