Love reading? This book will make you richer!


Hello Reader,

Back in October 2016, I was a starry-eyed—yet completely broke—actress. My love affair with money was just beginning. I had a business license, an online course on starting a bookkeeping business, and a 400-square-foot apartment so cramped there wasn’t room for a desk.

Every evening, I’d balance my computer on my lap and shove the dog over so I could sit on my smelly, second-hand couch from college—less than 100 feet from the stove, where my husband was making way too much noise cooking dinner.

One year later, I had only three clients. They loved me, but let’s be honest—I still wasn’t the “thriving business owner” I wanted to be.

Living in small-town Oklahoma, I didn’t have many in-person networking opportunities, and online spaces felt too chaotic for my ADHD, creative brain. I just wanted to help people! Why couldn’t I make every part of my business feel as magical as serving my clients 1:1?

I assumed “1:1 relationships” wasn’t a real marketing strategy—especially if you want to scale quickly. Or so I thought…

A few months ago, I shared how I made $247,421 after joining a single mastermind. That one group transformed my 1:1 conversations into a genuine marketing strategy. The people I met became clients, invited me to speaking events, and eventually referred me to more people.

The leader of that group was seven-figure business mentor, Selena Soo. She’s made eight figures in her own business through referrals, strategic partnerships, and publicity.

Thanks to Selena’s coaching, I now see multiple-six-figure returns every time I meet new people. Through these “Rich Relationships,” I’ve served hundreds of clients, spoken before thousands, and grown a team of eight running a thriving accounting firm.

Most important, I finally have a desk in my own office—complete with a door that keeps out my husband, dog, and two kids. That’s abundance, y’all!

Selena Soo has turned her mastermind magic into a book: Rich Relationships: Create a Million-Dollar Network for Your Business. It’s an approachable guide to building authentic connections, even if you’re an introvert starting from scratch on your couch, or like present-day Selena and I now building a Hundred-Million-Dollar Network.

I’m giving away 20 free copies of Rich Relationships. If you’d like one, fill out this form, and I’ll send it your way.

Hi Reader, “I need momma,” she said with those big, soulful eyes. I was finishing a Zoom call and my 3-year-old daughter had wandered into my office. Every instinct in me wanted to scoop her up and drop everything else. But I also knew—I had a business to run. A business that pays the rent, keeps the lights on, and provides for the very child standing in front of me. So I did what felt like the hardest thing in that moment: I set a boundary. I pulled her in for a quick hug, but I said: “I...

Hi Reader, I clicked to review this tax return and winced. This new client started with us in February 2025. So while we can prepare and file her 2024 tax returns on time, we’re very limited in the strategies we can use to reduce her taxes. The year is already over. Which is why my face was now scrunched and unhappy. 😬 This client’s tax bracket was 24%. In the US, you pay different tax amounts at different levels of income. If you’re a single filer in 2024: You pay 10% tax on your first $0 -...
