She is also candid about something we don't always hear in transformation stories: the change wasn't instantaneous. Getting out and rebuilding took years of fear, setbacks, determination, and small steps forward.From there, Sabrina and Tracie turn to business—and especially the ways women can become more confident about sales, money, numbers, and asking for what they want.It's an episode about becoming the champion of your own life and your business.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow Sabrina began moving from a victim mindset to seeing herself as the victor of her own storyWhy transformation usually involves a messy transition period—not one dramatic momentHow Sabrina's years in door-to-door sales influence the way she teaches women entrepreneurs todayWhy women need both relationship-building and results-focused skills to grow thriving businessesHow to sell without feeling pushy, manipulative, or “salesy”Why getting comfortable talking about money and numbers mattersThe difference between being an “ostrich” and a “champion” when it comes to your business financesHow community, systems, sales, marketing, and support can help women move from surviving in business to thrivingActionable Tips from This EpisodeStop avoiding your numbers. Know what's coming in, what's going out, and whether your business is actually making money. Sabrina challenges women to become a champion of their numbers instead of an ostrich with their head in the sand.Practice saying the number. If saying your price makes you uncomfortable, Sabrina suggests getting more comfortable using numbers, statistics, percentages, and prices in everyday business conversations.Don't be afraid to sell. You can be transparent about making an offer rather than hiding it inside a complicated sales tactic.Let conversations be conversations. Sales can be an honest dialogue about what someone needs, what you provide, and whether the two are a fit.Take the next best step. You don't have to solve everything today. Identify the next move available to you and make it.Memorable Quote“If you don't wanna be a creepy salesman, then don't be creepy.” — Sabrina VictoriaAnd one that beautifully sums up the episode:“Take the next best step.” — Sabrina VictoriaBOLD Moment of the EpisodeSabrina's BOLD story isn't really one moment—it's a series of decisions to reclaim control over her life.After years in a controlling relationship where virtually everything belonged to her partner, Sabrina began secretly creating her own financial independence.
