You're Giving Away Your Most Valuable Asset | WSABM Chapter 7 Part 2
2026/10/22
Every Thursday, I'm going live to walk through one chapter of We Should All Be Millionaires with the women who read it.
The book is five years old now. Over 300,000 copies sold, and I still get DMs every single week from women telling me they raised their prices, hit a goal they'd been sitting on for years, or finally started the business they kept talking themselves out of. A million-dollar mindset was never supposed to be a solo sport. So let's revisit it together, one chapter a week.
In every session, I give you the behind-the-scenes of writing this book, read you my favorite passages, and break down the one thing I want you to walk away with. Then I take your questions live.
This is the recording. The live room is where it actually happens, and it’s free.
Register at https://helloseven.co/road, and you'll get a reminder before every session.
Looking forward to seeing you every Thursday.

What Really Happens Backstage at My NYC Mastermind
2026/10/20
People see the stage, the lights, and the applause and they think success happens overnight. It doesn't.
This is what actually goes down backstage at the Hello Seven Mastermind in New York. Entrepreneurs flew in from around the globe for this one.
They booked childcare, the dog sitter, the flight, the hotel room. That level of effort is exactly why a physical room full of your ideal clients beats a comment section every single time.
Inside this video:
The CEO Reality Report that opens every retreat, where I tell the room what's actually happening in the world so nobody builds a business model in isolation.
The sales conversation that made the room go quiet. "Nobody bought anything." Correct, because you didn't ask anyone to buy anything. Your podcast is not doing the selling. It's warming people up. You still have to invite them into the next thing.
Lastly, the team behind the room, because it takes a village and I'm not pretending otherwise. Ready to go make some money?

The Best Sales Lesson I Ever Got Was From a Lisbon Flea Market
2026/10/06
💛 Ready to sell like this in your own business? Studio Six is my six month program to get you to six figures: https://helloseven.co/studiosix/
I went to Portugal for a retreat and ended up at a flea market taking notes from the most relentless salespeople on the planet. Nobody out there is waiting for inbound leads. Nobody is sitting quietly next to a nice product hoping somebody notices. They are hollering, hyping, and creating the demand themselves. And it works.
Watch me buy a five euro mystery bag with no idea what is inside, haggle over rainbow cactus pants, and get schooled by a man who drew a bigger crowd than the Today Show in Times Square while I did not understand a single word he was saying.
We get into:
✓ Why the loudest vendor has the biggest crowd, and the quiet one three stalls down has nobody
✓ How to create demand instead of waiting for it, whether you are closing high ticket deals or selling on a street corner
✓ Why "my product speaks for itself" is a rare exception, not a business plan, and definitely not one for your first year
✓ What a five euro surprise bag teaches you about breaking down buying resistance (we opened it on camera, and honestly, not bad)
✓ The rapport moves these vendors make without thinking: open posture, mirroring, matching your energy before they ever mention price
✓ Haggling in real time and what happens when you just ask for a better number
✓ Why silence is the same thing as being invisible, and why sales is a performance whether you like it or not
✓ All the men were hollering. I want to see the women hollering too
Ready to keep going? Here are three ways to work with me:
💛 Studio Six: Six months to six figures. Monthly group coaching with people at your exact revenue level, monthly Q&A with me, playbooks built for your growth stage, an AI prompt library, an in person meetup, and a community that celebrates every milestone you hit.

How To Brainwash Yourself To Become A Millionaire
2026/09/29
💛 Ready to build the business that funds the life you actually want? Studio Six is my six month program to get you to six figures: https://helloseven.co/studiosix/
Nobody was putting me on a list of future millionaires. I grew up with food insecurity, a landlord knocking because rent was late again, and parents who worked hard and still did not have enough. So I started walking up to people with nice cars and asking them what they did for a living. That was my research. That was the whole strategy at the beginning.
In this one I take you through Portugal with my Mastermind clients, from a palace in Sintra to the actual end of the world at Cabo da Roca, and I give you the full millionaire starter plan along the way. I also own up to the math I got wrong in the Millionaire Math video, because it is okay to be wrong in public.
We get into:
✓ Why the thing you think is holding you back is your biggest asset. The need is what creates the motivation
✓ How to define your Million Dollar Vision, because "I want to be a bajillionaire" is not a goal. Get specific about the house, the school, the 20 hour work week, then run the numbers on it
✓ The three words I want you to delete from your vocabulary: practical, realist, realistic
✓ How to catch the broke ass stories you are telling yourself and swap them for million dollar ones
✓ The WIN formula for any big decision: what do you Want, does it move you toward your Intention, and what does it require of you right Now
✓ Why boundaries are the whole game, and the time audit that shows you where your dream is actually going
✓ Behind the scenes of AI Rachel, the coach we trained on thousands of hours of my coaching, and Lola, the robot that finds your leads and drafts the emails for you
✓ Why you cannot do this alone, and how to find your three people this week
Grab the Millionaire Starter Plan linked below and start taking action today.

200 Sales Calls a Month and Still Broke: Live Coaching in Portugal
2026/09/22
💰 Want to break through the beliefs keeping you stuck so you can make more money? Join me for Rich, a live virtual workshop: https://helloseven.co/rich
We took the retreat to Portugal, and I coached these entrepreneurs in the boardroom and kept it going out on the town. The theme that kept surfacing: these women had real demand, real results, and real reputations, and they were still charging like they were brand new. Full calendars, packed programs, and not nearly enough money coming back to them.
You are going to watch real entrepreneurs get real coaching, including an immigration attorney taking 200 consultations a month at $97 with a 20% close rate, and a nurse educator whose program has a 97 to 100% pass rate when the national average is 74%, and who was still letting a $529 DIY course eat her $1,000 signature offer.
We get into:
✓ Why telling your audience the truth is the risk that grows you, and how to survive getting dragged online (they move on in 24 hours, and you get to stay mad)
✓ The lead qualification problem: if people who cannot buy from you are filling your calendar, your close rate is not the issue
✓ Why raising your consultation price does the filtering for you before anyone books
✓ How your cheap self-paced offer is stealing hundreds of dollars from your core program every single time it sells, and the math that proves it
✓ Pricing for the result you deliver, not for what you assume people can pay. A 100% pass rate is not a $529 product
✓ How to bundle three separate offers into one program with a deposit up front and a payment plan that does not leave you chasing anybody
✓ Why "I can't afford it" is language, not math, and why you cannot build a business model around it
✓ The delegation trap that burns founders out right before they reach freedom, and the "here's my 10%, go do 80%" handoff that fixes it
✓ Fix the system first, then hire someone to run the optimized version. Never the other way around
Ready to keep going? Here are four ways to work with me:
💰 Rich: A four hour live virtual workshop on Friday, August 28. You will leave with a written 90 day revenue and life plan, three real projects with deadlines, live coaching from me, and one action step already done before you log off. You leave with the plan, not the notes. Grab your seat here: https://helloseven.co/rich

Your Business Makes Money. So Why Can't You Pay Yourself?
2026/09/01
I flew to London, the room sold out, and I coached these entrepreneurs live. The theme that kept coming up was many of them had built businesses with real money and they were still not paying themselves or enjoying a dime of it in their personal lives. So we fixed that.
You are going to watch real entrepreneurs get real coaching, including a woman who has served over 10,000 meals through her social enterprise and still wasn't taking a salary, a financial coach building a brand-new niche, and a dreamer trying to raise 200K to start a hydroponic farm.
We get into:
✓ Why you can have money moving through your business and still not pay yourself, and exactly how to change that
✓ The permission slip that changes everything when you want more money: "I want it. The end." No justification required
✓ How to price for what is sustainable for you, not for what you think people can afford
✓ Why your audience isn't buying (hint: you never actually invited them) and the recurring event that fixes it
✓ The LinkedIn mistake killing your reach, and how tapping the headline of the day makes your posts actually convert
✓ How to use Claude and AI to turn one piece of research into a lead magnet and 100 posts, so you grow without spending a ton of capital
✓ The "collect 30 nos a month" challenge that turns rejection into yeses and funds even your biggest dream
Ready to keep going? Here are two ways to work with me:
Studio Six is the natural next step for anyone building toward their first six-figure year. Clients in this program have reached some incredible milestones. Someone booked their second PAID speaking engagement, another closed 10k in sales this month (a record for them) and another client already surpassed her full time job.

Angel Investor Reveals Why She Says No to 95% of Founders
2026/08/18
💰 Ready to use AI to grow your business? Join me for the Hello Seven AI Accelerator: https://helloseven.co/aiaccelerator
Billions of dollars get invested every year into the same type of founder. Erika Aquino is doing something about it.
Erika is an angel investor for the Global Majority, she backs women and minority founders across four continents in sustainability, wellness, future of work, and education. This year alone, 63 companies pitched her. She took meetings with three. In this episode, she's breaking down exactly how she decides who gets the check (and who gets a "no").
We get into:
The deal-flow system that filters 63 pitches down to 3 meetings
The "vibe check" what she's actually testing when she asks a founder "what happens if you fail?"
Her #1 piece of advice for new investors (hint: it's one word, and it's free)
The founder red flags that kill a deal instantly including the cold-email story you have to hear to believe
How her dad sold the family house in his 50s to start a tech company that now employs 1,500 people
How to start angel investing with as little as $1,000 through syndicates and SPVs
Her moonshot: building enough women entrepreneurs in the Philippines that mothers never have to leave their kids to earn a living
Whether you're writing your first $1,000 check or your first six-figure one, this conversation will change how you think about where your money goes and who it builds power for.

How To Find Your Business Bestie
2026/08/11
FREE DOWNLOAD: My Friendship Audit will help you figure out who your real friends are and make space for new ones. Grab it here: https://helloseven.co/mdf
I found my best friend through a Facebook ad. (Yes, really.)
This week I'm at the Hello Seven Mastermind retreat with my actual best friend, Broadway star and business owner, Robert Hartwell, and we're telling you the whole story: how a bonus call with a client turned into a decade of bestie vacations, daily Voxer rants, and opportunities neither of us would have without the other.
Here's the thing: entrepreneurship is isolating. In my early days I spent Friday nights alone in my office because nobody in my life understood what I was building. If that's you right now, this episode is your way out.
We're covering:
Why you should pick ONE mentor and go deep, not collect fifty
How to build your Million Dollar Squad with the right mix of ages, life stages, and skill sets (so you don't become the squad mom)
What's waiting on the other side of "hello," even if you're an introvert
