OH WAIT. No. I DID do that....and here’s that story 👇🏼
It’s August of 2019: I’m on leave from my job, feeling stuck and lonely in a new city, and I was doing what anyone does when they’re not at work: watching IG stories. Where I came across Erin talking about IFCA (where they teach normal people how to be online coaches), and enrollment was closing in 1 week.
When I saw this, I knew this was the key to live my dream life. I had been a client of online coaches since 2018 and loved the process. So to be helping others with their transformation too? This was my wildest dream!
So I DM’d her, wanting to know about future rounds where I could get in on this, when I knew I’d be *ready*
I had only ever known Erin through her IG, but she always came off as very honest and genuine. So when she told me “we’ll tell you if you’re not ready”, that’s all it took. I applied and had my interview for the following week.
I was fully aware of how crazy this was, but given my current situation...I had nothing to lose. It was just an interview, right?!
But then, it happened. One week later: I was offered a spot, to change my life, so I could change other’s lives. The catch? The price tag was almost everything we had.
How Lance ever gave me the go-ahead to spend our savings for our first house, to take a business course, from strangers, with no business yet...I’ll never know
A declined card, a call to the bank and an emptied savings account later....I was doing this.
6 months later, I can say that day changed my life. I HAD to invest that money in myself to have success. I had to trust myself to be where I’m at now.
IFCA was one of the best, but most challenging experiences ever. I can never say thank you enough to Erin + Jordan for taking a gamble on me, teaching me everything about running a business and forcing me to be uncomfortable 24/7.
Giving your life savings to strangers won’t always change your life for the better, but for me, it did.
Never have I ever: paid strangers over the internet thousands of dollars, to teach me how to run a non-existent business, in a new field, with 0 experience...😅💸
