How do you really make 7-figures without losing your soul?
To a lot of people, this is like black magic. It’s like people are either lucky, they have ‘a lot going for them’, or they just ‘have what’s necessary’. Sometimes we may even think that what WE do, the industry we’re in, the field, and the goodwill arena we want to be a part of—does NOT and ‘should’ not equal that type of success.
But the real question is, is it indeed possible for YOU?
In this episode, we want to pull back the curtain, pop the hood open and have you take a look underneath it all. And to find out what it really takes to get to ‘your wildest’ goals. Leslie Kuster joins us today as she reveals:
How exactly she went from near death to experience, to traveling to Bali and living her dream.
The mindset block she DIDN’T know was holding her back, and what she did to get out of it
The steps she took to take her $50,000/year income, all the way to $1 million and counting—and how you can do the same.

When you have a dream, and you’re looking to make it happen—how long do people tell you it will take?
Maybe you’ve heard something like, “It will never happen!” or “Forget about it! It’s take you years!”

Is it possible to be completely unknown, yet reach stratospheric success?
I always believe that you could.
But not everyone believes this. Because we’ve been fed the idea that you HAVE to have a MASSIVE following, hundreds of thousands of people knowing you – before you see any sign of impact and success.
But what if all of that is untrue?
What if you can totally be WHO you are, with all your flaws, and STILL make an impact?
Many tiny, small countries have done this. They never quite competed with bigger countries to leave a mark.
But they’ve SOMEHOW become the most successful, even wealthiest countries.
How exactly do they do that?
We talk about this in this episode.

If you ever wonder how people made their first million while protecting what’s valuable to them and WITHOUT sacrificing what’s important, this episode is worth a listen.
The weirdest thing about the world we live in right now, is that there are examples of extremely successful people everywhere, yet no one knows who they are.
Even stranger, is how we ALL unanimously agree that to be successful, you have to have all these followers, and be all over the place on social media.
Things don’t seem to add up, no?
So we decided in this episode to study how a group of self-made billionaires, made their first million, and deconstruct a Business Insider article talking specifically about this.
More importantly, though, how do you do this with what you HAVE, with little to no connection, privileges, or even much presence online—WHILE doing so in a purposeful way and in a way that’s meaningful to you?
