Right missile axes of first things. First, I have to tell you a funny story. Is when you a tag me on answer grand one day I was like. Oh my gosh. She knows who I am, and so I followed you for years. I've bought your work out guides, which is why I am so excited to have you on the show and call you a friend now so welcome to the gold digger pod gas thinking so much for having me, I am a huge train of yours, believe it or not, and I love anything or renew our business stuff, so it will have been such a huge resource, for me, and I am honoured to be on your show. Oh we're gonna have a boy ass today, so for people don't know who you are or what ye do painters a picture of your journey, because I always talk about this show- and I say this isn't just about highlight reels. This is like the real staff so What is your journey looks like, and what exactly do you do today? So we

started into the fitness thing when I was in high school, I worked on. Attaining sign, may have this regular that used to come in, and I was so tired of my job. I was like eighteen and she's like hey. What are you come work for me. She did like community fitness stuff up as this it? Then there is a place called Sun City which is like a retirement tuning she's. Like comes you work out with me and come teach exercise to me, elderly before so as care. How I got my star into the fitting Rome and then fast forward. A few years I have been working in a small. I t start and the weight off my department about four months after I had my daughter, Logan, my husband was just getting out of military, sir, we're just living on my income and basically we It started doing this instagram software like doing our homework out and so when I lost my job, we're just like what are we gonna? Do we kept like plugging away at that? I got another job doing the same thing and we started

so again some traction and back. Then there is like a growing supplement company that had offered us. I think we had around fourteen thousand followers at the time which was a big deal back then this is like two thousand and thirteen, so they offered to pass like seventy five dollars to post some aspirin, I'm like three four times a week and then, when I got, I lost my the second job that I had just gone after I got laid off before like within a week. They had offered us a year contracts. I wish I knew him out, but the amount that they offered to pay, as each month was with wake within like a hundred dollars of covering all of our monthly bills and so for eyes like a kind of felt lake. It was like a gaunt thing for us, because I probably never quit my job. I was so comfortable where I was I, and so we cannot just took a leap of faith and said. Okay, don't do that some are gonna, see where it takes us, and so that's kind.

How we got involved in the whole social media world and a few months after the lake we decided during a research, I love being created, and so I was just trying to figure out ways to Lake Channel what for me- and I ran across this one- men, Susie Romans and she had some little evoke about. How did you like social media marketing and like handle like small businesses, social media, like we get to the heart, I could do that and she started talking about. You have to offer a product that you can sell to your community in you're like ok, we know fitness. We know like healthy eating like let's do it, so I was able to take my creative side and kind of channel that, through a product in Here we are, I dont know I couldn t come from zero to sixty, but it literally five overnight we got it. I've just lake flew through the roof. Some score easy

It's so crazy. To I mean you have over one point: eight million followers like that. Is insane and I wanna know like how did you figure out like I could start developing work out. I could sell these. Things are mine. Unlike what made you want to do your own thing and not just prescribed to other people's products and MRS, that they were offering I've, always my family has always had their own businesses. So I think it's just kind of ingrained in me that, like that's what I want to do like that's what I'm going to do, and so we kind of saw that opportunity and being a new mom myself in at the time working full time. The last thing I wanted to do was put my child with another child care worker and work out that just was the priority for me. So we saw the need to do something for busy moms and busy women and elsewhere

our aid Suzette organ and jumping in offer something realistic for women so that they can have the lifestyle at they ideally want and need. I love that so Here's a question- and I feel I gets so awesome to hear from people like you who our so confident, but did you ever feel like a fraud, or did you ever ask yourself like what makes me qualified to do this because I know even watching drew navigate. His own personal health company he's out has been like you know. I dont know everything and I didn't go to school for this in an all of that, did you have to overcome some of those mindset? Things in order to really make a go at it. Oh for sure I feel, like I think everybody in general kind of have us like doubts in the back of their heads, about lake, how qualified they are in all that, and I'm just extra hard on myself when it comes to ban in late just who I am presenting myself

Then I actually had a really art to her conversation with my mom, I broke down. One Dana's like I just don't understand why I'm here and lake why all these blessings are being like flown our direction and she told me she's like it's not necessarily about it's about you. It's about bigger than you and you have it's my responsibility to figure out what it is, and so there became a bigger mission for me. It wasn't just about building a business or wasn't just about seeing like us out so not made in my dna and so I started to look for how I could impact the people around me, and so that's aware, like I was able to brush off all the doubts in the back of my head and the just negative self talk that can sometimes take over ok. So let's talk about creating your first digital products, one

it. Was it like? What are you wish? You would have? No, unlike what did they come out like I wish we could always see where people started, because I'm sure it's kind of embarrassing, but also to divide them. People always has as creed is, as I like to think that I am. I dont have lake any design background nothing. I can do surprisingly a lot with what would I have, but it was rough Blake I wish we could show sure, as hell where yes, but was intimidating and just praying whatever I was putting out, there was something that people would find a value in, and it just came down to like a lot of research. We like scoured the you're, not relate ok, how even create wine and lake we created an eye works recruited, probably like eight to ten of our following evokes through I and it's free, which is so cool and just researching services that would be able to support our files and send them to our customers

and all that stuff. We don't even know what to Google, for though it was a lot of research planning in failing, it was its exciting. It's always exciting remember the day when you had your first sale ideal enjoy with Vietnam, where my husband, He's like. Are you sure about this, and I say what do we have to lose it You, like I mean we're getting nothing out there like it's, no big deal and we would like our aid, will try and I don't even remember where we advertise it might even ban on Facebook to our friends, but we got her first sale and he'll Timmins. Like all that's cool, I can't just like whatever like will see how this goes a man. It was probable way another for mines of consistent income coming in, and here like on board, and I are just remember our family. Looking at Us Lake Wagner

you getting another job. I think that we remain he saw here, smacks of all and so yeah it was. It was interesting to navigate and much different than it is today was there like a specific moment or you are like this- can be an actual career like it's not inside us all. It's not as supplemental income like weakened actually do this and live off of it. Yes, absolutely it was probably that's three to four months after we had released like a second e book, but our homework, our guide it I dont, know what exactly it was, whether it was treating more content to get in front of people and not being able to advertise to them, but it sword and I go back to my family, I'm pretty confident they thought that we were either selling drugs or doing something

legal, because we were, I mean it took off. It really took off in it's funny because it's such a non traditional business structure with very little overhead and very little risk. So I absolutely love the freedom that has given us in the ability to stay home with my kids, awesome. So I have to know. I ve ever created a guide that just like totally flopped, like it totally missed the mark, or at most of years been pretty successful. Most feeling did really a guide. I feel it being a mom myself and a woman. I don't know it's easier to market tools. What I know and just making a more realistic. I feel like we never really Sonny Dame out. We did a whole hearted. We feel confident in We would do the same thing. We're not doing these crash dates and stuff like that, so we always stood on law firm ground of we stand behind that so yeah. Thankfully, we too have any form which one of them

abolish. Ok. So one of the reasons why I love what you do- and I wish I had more people understood this model is. Like you said, it's a very low risk, you don't really have to worry like if you create something and it doesn't really solve the biggest thing you're losing your time, but you all don't have to have things like carry a big image to worry. You dont have a giant overhead. You dont have to have a distribution sector. Can you he's gonna walk walkers through like how you describe the business. You're in and also why you love it. So we sell digital products and typically, I me or my husband are writing out the programmes or the recipe guides or whatever. Guide were really seeing and now I mean we weren't, I'm not the design exports. So it's literally submitting the two are graphic designer and I kind of

give him a run down with sketches of what I wanted to look like and they put it together and I am able to upload it reviews to send owl we should now and our worse, quite awhile a while, so they hold our files so every time, a customer purchases, a programme, is automatically email to them. So why having to sit there and manually fulfil, orders its dine automatically, which is nice and the crazy thing is: is you're making money? Why you sleep a lot of time, so you and I'd or you post, not on your page in the sales continually flow in, and so I just love how it's not your training time for money you're. Actually you put in a little bit of time and it cannot just be just works, it's really it's really cool. I love it and I love to that. Its scale, a ball and I, like you, said, like you, can be serving people. Why you sleep like there? Isn't it

better. I know when drew nigh took a month off in Hawaii I like the bar income reports and unlike I still made what we normally make because everything is scalable indigenous also, you are having to worry about all of those other pieces of product development of that kind of stuff. It's such a blessing? Why don't you just want to passengers all feel like? How is this real? I do not say so funny because meeting on making we can enjoy our kids in freedom. I think the freedom alone. Man I can provide, is like unheard of, and the army really just can't find that kind of freedom with any other business model which is so were superhuman so how many digital products do have first sale about right now, I want to say we have six- were phasing

out of our work out guides cause our app will be releasing at the end of this month, the fitness up, and then we also self photo precept. So those are also and are product, products that is so awesome. So let's talk about developing your new idea. So since the and so fresh. It's the beginning of the year like this is super exciting time. What was up process like and what made you want to create an app over these guides, because I think they both serve really awesome purposes, but I know that there is probably some thoughtfulness in strategy along with that. Absolutely with the We just saw so much more opportunity to provide community to people, and I feel like when just people in general just want to feel like they belong and that they are a part of something and, if you're working on at home, it's difficult to do that it can be isolating. Even more than regular life is. So I saw the huge value and adding commute

he and providing a space for women to be able to work out together and cannot keep each other accountable and share recipes share their success stories are share their struggles, and so I think that alone? Is the big added benefit with having an app there's so much more work that goes into it and I think that's very kind of steered away from doing it for so long and it's an intimidating project to take on, but I think this, depending on what your digital product is it kind of way the pros and cons for each one, yeah, and I mean one of the beautiful things about an app or like a membership site or something is residual income. So it's like this way that you make a sale ones and then just work really hard to keep that customer and to really kind of figure out like what's gonna keep them. Coming back for More- which I think is like such fun challenge, but it's absolutely a challenge is what it's like

wow what a spin like for you personally, like you journey. You now have all these eyes on you. You are known for fitness programmes. Why been like the personal side of things for you. How have you changed in a personal way as your business is grown, I think, being under the microscope very he was really hard. Typically, I'm the person that kind of just its back, antics people an end. Then I jump in once they feel comfortable. So, for me, like I said it's not in my dna yeah hey, look at me, look at me and social media. It feels like that a lot of times and so having me has been Troy here in my corner. He's so outgoing. It's really push me out of my shell in an all, honesty at the beginning of our journeys are social media a few years ago. It was really rough, I mean I'm scrutinised and I am being challenge as a mom as a person, my characters in question

and it would genuinely stick to knee and hurt my feelings, because my intentions were true and these people out, me and so a lot I think in one hundred percent I can say, is spent so good for me because its forcemeat You know who I am and not let those opinions and outside noise kind of take over who I am and how I'm feeling about myself. So it's when I think it's great- and I am one hundred percent that it's been a blessing for family. Have you, like I mean you have to have. Some of this is some level by, like I feel like ass things have grown in. As I only have girl like I've, become much more protective of myself and my energy and like guarding waste have you been through that at all yeah, I guess

resolved, I mean comparisons. Lake is a struggle and I find myself during my black. I gotta just get off of social media and that's when I had just jump into like my quiet time or something that's enough feed me and fulfil me and for sure I think everybody should guard against that pressure. Absolutely so women things that I love the most about you is, I feel like the way that you mark is super authentic, like it doesn't feel like a sales pitch. It feels like a way that you're, like serving people with solution. So talk to me Little bit about like how you market your guides. What's worked for, you haven't worked in the past, I truly that's about creating culture and its harder. For me, too, to sneak iron, make a brand side were more they're, calling us influencers now so

me, myself, I'm the brand, but I'm not a product brand. If that makes sense so creating culture, I think, as the biggest thing and being transparent with people first when we started, I I felt like a Just need only show the pretty sides of why, like our life is, and we quickly learned that people responded buttered, some more of the real life stuff and so the more transparent that we are, the more people get to know why the more they get to feel like they can trust us and that we have thereby its interests in mind and the easier it is to gain their trust and, ultimately, their sale, and so I just feel like the more transparent, but you can be yet whether your influence or or a brand. I think that that goes such a long way. I think if you

brand. Maybe sharing your mission are your vision and why you ve created this product and like why the lie behind why you ve created it, and I think that helps your audience, see just see. A dollar sign over therefore had an it creates by and for them, which is it's incredible, I think just just being transparent shows the human being not just this robotic side of things about makes. It makes perfect signs, and I I think it's huge shoe because I think for so many people special in your First starting out, you feel like a fraud, and then you wanted just hide behind your products, because you like, I am Oh boring. No one will care about me. There is nothing special, but I mean about electoral, a gear standing out in a super saturated market. So what do you

you believe like sites you a par in? Do you have any advice for other people on setting themselves apart when they look around in there are a million other people doing what they want to do. Absolutely. I think defining what is gonna make you different from everybody else is a big thing, and I like hammer this home with everybody it Why like? Why are you doing that? Because if here, why is all about you? It's not sick Meanwhile, I your, why has to be more than about yourself and I think the reason that are business and are Miranda so well as that were unapologetically just sharing, who we are and sharing your heart beat fur just. Why were doing then I think that is so important in an old ton of people already to meet with that, and a lot of people want- and it's hard to get to this point. But you kind of have to get to the point where you can't win him off

all and you can't please everyone and you don't want those people anyways. Those people aren't enemy, your customers, anyways, so just being genuinely transparent, is gonna, be your best voice in your best foot forward for gaining a sale and gaining like a dedicated community?

Until I click on your account and just see what people are tagging you in their progress specks, I have to know as someone who is going through this whole pole pardon and being pregnant and all that like is their pressure on you, because you are kind of the like walking billboard for your brand and you have an amazing body. Do you feel pressure? In that sense, I do I honestly do, I think, just because there are so many eyes sake. Oh shit, strange shameless, like I feel like I feel like people, would expect me to be unjust killer shape. And with each presidency I am more active and firm, at the end of the day. I have a very solid and well rounded, like self image, so I think that

keeps me on the ground and at the end of the day, I feel like you're trying your best. That's all you can do because everybody is body is different. Everybody situations different and that's it. You know he's gonna, just love what you got It's like really fine. I know I've found like especially my pregnancy journey, just like following other moms and like China, relate to what they're going through in and really seeing how every single thing is so different. Everyone's body is different. Everyone's pregnancy is different. It's just I dunno it's so incredible. So incredible. What our bodies are created to do is make kind of an eye when you lay your eyes, are not baby you're, just gonna be it's such a miracle is incredible and so excited. So I wanna, know like how do you make sure that your customers get results. So one thing that I found as us: I'll go especially with digital products is at all,

sometimes people will buy them because it's a lower price to purchase and then those kind of forget about homer they'll say that they'll come back to them or they'll complete them later. Do any tricks of your sleeve in making sure that people surely find and use and get success with what you're offering them. I think that boils down to follow up, which is of in your customer service retention? Funnel where, if you're selling more product you don't want to just be like all right thanks for your money by you want to follow up with those and keep those customers and keep those customers happy, because if you have previous customers that are happy, customers they're going to buy future stuff. So there's no reason you wouldn't want to try and cultivate good results with whatever product you're selling. With those custom Is it so important, especially for just longevity of your business any kind of way,

That you can send a meaningful and checking on them or give them a tool to stay on track, whether it's a checklist or a calendar, planner or anything, just saying in touch with them and letting them know hey I'm here. If you need something or hey, how can we improve that sort of thing? I think so huge and more hours. Looking at that too, because you're maybe so much more likely to sell another product to a person if you give them results a first time, and so it is also important that you think about that, and I think a lot of times people stop at the sale. But really it's like that's in the work really begins because you just got someone to say. I trust you enough to spend a dollar on your more and now it's like your time to really step up and serve them in a way, and so I mean you have to look at like how can we get people results and how can we make sure that they put is in motion, so wanna know like if someone is thinking

about creating a digital product or an online shop like what is something that you would share with them as a piece of advice, I think just go for it. I think, with the lack of risk with digital products obvious it's like he said time is kind of the really only risk for you and if you can just jump in and do your research and really the nitty gritty of defining your vision and the path and where you want us to go in, why you're doing it. So why is going to keep you on track when you're feeling unmotivated or you're feeling defeated and just go for it? This is the world of digital stuff, and technology and people are more receptive to it than ever, so I say good morning. I love it. So, as you start to look, I new products and new offers that you want to create.

Do you kind of gauge what your audience wants or needs. Do you pull them? Do you do surveys like what is your method of really? making sure that what you are creating as what people need the goal. A lot based off of emails that we get with whether their struggling when something or are they just have general feedback we do a lot of thought to get peoples to gain tripled, press on a new feature. Something like that, and I think this interaction What's your community, the more you interact with them, the better your brands gonna do over all. So why not directly communicate with them in the hay what do you need? What do you like? What are you dislike and what else can we provide? The ILO I think people as to meet the power of really listening, because I ve been a lot of times, especially with digital products. Have you

this idea and you're like this, is gonna sell like gangbusters, and then you put it up in its like crickets and then the one that you're like. I guess we put this out there and then it like totally crises that have you had anything like this. I totally. When are the pre sets the photo precepts which is totally different from finnish stuff, but it again it's a digital products, and we you saw on the fence on doing provides for probably six months and during this has been during the process of building the up, and I'm so thankful that we did it because it carried through those months where we kind of took our programmes down, because we're really think that- and it is, I mean a bigger hit than our finnish programmes ever were. If you can believe that, so it's like it's crazy, so late with special who, with digital products, If you unsure tests it out, you know what I mean. You never know a nun

those things have to carry a shelf life you dont, have to like angry them into areas like just put it out there. We have digital precepts as well, and I think it so you'll, be guys wine. You don't have to worry that everyone says gonna, look like yours, because everyone takes photos differently and everyone's looking for solutions by two like you, your brand, has a very specific look to an aesthetic and people want that and like. Why would you hold back from offering that two people that follow you? I love that that is awesome itself. Fanaticism link with amazing, so what're you most excited about as we enter the new year like what is firing. You what're some goals. You have like tell me all the things I I'm excited to get back and shave after this baby in a few months and cannot just get back on track. I feel it every time I'm pregnant. I get kind of all over the praise and

very not myself. So I M just excited you're gonna, get back to myself and focus on the business growing and really pouring into our business and our employees weave with the off we expanded rather quickly in a terrifies me, so I just want to make sure that our employees are valued and that our business continues to bloom and for us just really pouring inter community and making an impact on other people's lives, and some of us just benefiting me love that can you break down behind him the key players on your team and like the order in which you hired them, because I think a lot of times, especially with the This model, like you, have it's really easy to say. I can do all the things, because when you start, you have to do all the things. So what have been kind of the key

players on your team that have really helped you to continue to grow, while my husband, Troy as the backbone hands down our business he is. He just keeps the wheel moving and make sure that we don't freak down his business and be used ass, a rock star and its great, because when working at home we ve got us your old and it almost two year old were constantly juggling the caves and juggling business. Then, once working in one's playing and one's cooking luncheon and the other on is working. So he is just like my number one go to the guy that I can go to church make sure that everything is taking care of, and then we have Lindsey who is in charge of our customer service and she's incredible. So she Oliver employees work remote, which is so much fine, but they all live locally to us

in Arizona and she's actually been a good family friend of ours for a long time, and she has been with us for about two years. So she handles everything from like technical issues that people have to just simple all customer service emails to dressed silly just nice emails up people sent through an just wanna give us some love. So Lindsey was all of that, and then we have Casey. Who is our? I guess he's our content creator He handles all like our video starve and he does our log editing, which we really stepped up in the last couple mines, and he does. All of our work out video. So in the end we have the videos now and so he's in charge of taking care of all bad and our marketing videos anything contains its Casey and that's it thus far, which is who for a crazy and everyone for like why yoyo for employees by I'm hesitant to grow too fast, because I hear that can't be assembling, walk so tat. We ve taken it

I love that, and I mean we. I have a very lean teams. I have like three main people total, and then we have a few comments factors, so it always shocks people because I feel like they think that there's like this office, this hub and we all work remotely as well. So it looks more like our couch and our pj's appalled, coffee. You know it's just crazy, but it is so exciting as you grow and expand to kind of filling those present. Genes are figure out how to where you serve the business bass. So I am sure that all continue to of as you guys, continue to grow. So I have to know, what's real scoop working with your husband. What's the perks It's the downfall of, and tell me the truth and evasive indigo number s burn I know you ve been doing this to gather gosh it's been six years. And all be honest. It weighs rough at first we had so to give you a kind of a boxer

my husband I dated in high school fur two years, and then we broke up right before I graduated and he shoved off to the military. I totally care. On with life and back then my husband was not the man. He is now I, if you could have told me, and here is allowed, marry him for what he laughed and said absolutely not, and so he was the last person I wanted to talk to, and then we reconnected about almost seven years ago now I guess- and I couldn't tell you how we went from hey. Please go to lunch with me to dating, so that was super current and So then we found out we are pregnant with Logan, really fast, throne. Into the craziness of new parenting and just figuring out who each there was getting to know each other again and then we get thrown into this None of this is all within the first year of the start of our business and eight

was so hard so so hard and just the amount of time we are spending together and are you not have those conversations of hate? Many. How was your day and like I know everything that he didn't? You know that really knew about it does today is so they took us, probably a good. Here is to really get and a good grew of our rules and communicating effect heavily, and it was tat. It was really tough and I think the best we have some friends you just started working together, she's, an interior designer and her husband just quit his job to work, with her and she is like give us your best advice and communication lake. We literally it's like I'm putting my business partner had on I'm taking my husband had off flake and kind of just like put those feelings in the emotions aside and just be professional and tactful and communicating as it is tough, but it so fine, I wouldn't traded for the world, our girls and me we're just so blessed to have him home all that

It is it's one of those things where it's like the biggest blessing and also the biggest curse- and I know like when drew a line for eight to nine hours a day like I actually really loved that alone time, but I also, don't think we understood what each other was doing all day and then like when you started being home like the first. Stay we're both working from home together. He like started vacuuming at ten, a m M, and I was like trying to record something in a MIKE baby. We have to work for I'm home and like you, I can't work, there's like dog here everywhere, and, unlike oh my god, like what did we get ourselves into in ages, totally takes like this flow and like communication, and really setting boundaries to like we cannot sit rose from the table and work together, all the time like he needs music on constantly I need quiet like it is, is it is hysterics or what the reality can look like a long anyway.

Work together like a year and a half going on two years so and he doesn't work in my business and so it's kind of nice because he manages our condos and then like takes care of the house, and all of this kind of he like makes it passed. Well for me to do what I do. I think I would kill em if you worked in my business via I'm going to like it so funny goes. I mean we can like Go to coffee in the middle of the day are like walk the dogs at any time in its just those are the things that make it all worth that not so funny. Ok, so I made one step as we enter the new year. Everyone's feeling refreshed and excited people are probably setting big goals. I knows Japan, yours it can be really hard to remember to move during the day. I am like a desk warrior where I could sit for like ten hours straight. What are some ten

suggests, keep moving or to really create a new habits in the new year. Set yourself a goal, I think goals are probably my favorite thing ever and Senegal First so you're gonna start a new work out routine or you're gonna start buying eating and where you're eating at home, because we are a lot. So we trying in the home as much as we can such a goal, so maybe a realistic goal. Three times a week, you're gonna work out start there and if you make it three weeks working out three times a week, Givers Sulphur award, whether its end. Work outfit or a new pair of shoes or whatever it is. I feel like give yourself a goal set of plan and when you hit that goal reward yourself, that is my favorite.

Its way of turning something new and staying on trial. I love that. How do you celebrate your wines, because I've been good so easy as entrepreneurs think about when you made that first sale like how excited you here and now that you're so Eustace success in your so working hard for it like? What is Europe like go to way to celebrate, drew nigh? We totally order sushi, unlike spent the night on the couch, watching wild land on that likes or something that the meal to celebrate way going on a date, nay or a station, just cause we're lake. We get an hour Abbott Hole at home with the kids and we never leave and languid we're on night work thing, so I'm just getting out and were wording our son for some peace and quiet.
