Lauren Cobello built a million-dollar PR agency in just 10 months as a single mom of four, working with celebrities like Kurt Angle and major influencers.

Your story is your biggest differentiator and allows you to charge premium prices instead of competing on cost
Identify what drains your energy versus what lights you up, then set goals to hire out the energy drains
You need to show up in AI search results now, not just traditional Google searches
