The action, the drama, the energy is addictive and it’s why so many never want to retire from entrepreneurship.

One of the most impactful moments in my work came when I discovered that a healing experience I’d had with a client was featured in a published book. I learned about it after being referred to as a “master healer” by the author during a public speaking event. The news took me by surprise: I had just returned to Northern California from nearly half a year abroad, where I’d sold almost everything to completely reset my life. In fact, I had retired my successful body/energy healing business to focus on my own healing and figure out my next steps. Read more>>

The management team and a client were sitting in our boardroom. We’re all in there discussing potential projects we would be working on. Each person was so focused. We were brainstorming ideas on new projects and how they would be handled. We were doing a workflow. Everyone was participating. It was one of those meetings that was not a waste of time. Everyone was fully engaged. The door busts open and here is an employee out of breath: “The Department of Homeland Security is here there is an active shooter” I think everyone flew out of their chair and yelled “What do we do what do we do where is the shooter? Everyone was in shock and terror. We hit the lights in the boardroom and we stood there frozen.

When I first launched NET WORTH UP™, my Instagram account had only about 300 followers. I was determined to make waves in the personal finance space, so I applied for one of Anthony O’Neal’s small business giveaways.

Not only had he noticed my application, but he also invited me to be featured on his show, which boasts over 2 million subscribers across social media. I couldn’t believe it—this was the break I’d been praying for! Read more>>

I have a very unique career. I run my own business giving evidential psychic medium readings, and I am also a professional screenwriter, so a lot of my clients end up coming from the Hollywood community through word-of-mouth because that’s my social circle. One of the most fun and craziest things is usually when the dead person I am connecting to is someone famous who has passed away. Read more>>
