Show Notes
When Martha Beck's coaching cohort was offered a chance to present at IKEA stores across the US and be featured in O Magazine, half the coaches said no. The pay was only $1,500. Susan Hyatt said yes to every city nobody wanted. She flew herself there. She did Chicago, Atlanta, Cincinnati, New York. The O Magazine rep noticed. Then came a Seattle's Best Coffee partnership. Then an invitation to speak at Oprah's events.
Susan has been building her business since before Facebook was open to anyone who wasn't a college student. She started on MySpace, wrote newsletters, made terrible videos with a camcorder in a cardigan, and once shared something publicly she'd never told anyone - and watched her business change overnight because of it.
She's a master certified life coach, bestselling author, and TEDx speaker who has spent 17 years teaching women to take up space. In this episode, we go back to the beginning - the buttoned-up posts, the early vulnerability, and what it actually takes to stop filtering yourself and say the thing anyway.
