The $20,000 lesson that changed everything
Why I keep investing in mentorship (and you should too)
There's an ancient principle that every wisdom tradition teaches:
The greatest investment you can ever make is in your own transformation.
Whether it's the Oracle at Delphi saying "Know thyself" or Rumi teaching that "yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself" - the message is the same.
When you invest in evolving both your inner patterns AND your outer capabilities, you create wealth that can never be taken from you.
As business strategists who use spiritual principles, we've seen firsthand how the RIGHT investment in transformation creates exponential returns.
The key word here is "right" - because not all programs are created equal. Most focus on either inner work OR outer strategy, but never both together.
And that's exactly why…
What the ancients knew is 100% correct:
There is NO better investment you can make than investing in yourself - when it addresses both dimensions.
When I look at my own business breakthroughs over the past decade, they ALL came from investing in the right mentorship…
In 2016, I invested roughly $3,000 for a retreat in Costa Rica, plus six months of coaching - about $20,000 total. That mentor opened the door and showed me what was possible with my own gifts. We laid the frameworks and foundation together for what became my $100K/month consulting offer in the hearing private practice space.
Later that year, I went to the Two 12 mastermind in Boulder, Colorado. 40 people. Mentors like Tim Ferriss and Noah Kagan. It completely shifted how I thought about scaling impact.
Just two years ago when we started Sacred Business, the FIRST thing we did was invest close to $15,000 in getting our messaging right. And we'd been doing messaging work for years! But we knew our blind spots needed outside eyes. The results speak for themselves.
I'm currently in a year-long AI thought leadership program. I've hired mentors for sales, for systems, for strategy. Because I truly believe there's nothing better I can invest in than my own growth.
I honestly have NO idea where I'd be without the right mentors at the right times. I can trace so much of my success back to these critical decisions about who to work with.
And here's the truth: when you invest in transforming your patterns AND building your capabilities, you have those new skills FOREVER.
No one can take them away from you.
Even better: when you transform inner patterns and outer strategy together, the results multiply exponentially.
So when working with a mentor for 90 days or 6 months - don't just think about the ROI during those months. Think about the lifetime impact.
Once again:
There is NO better ROI than investing in yourself through the right mentors.
And if you're tired of the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it, you won't find a better partnership than working with us.
We've invested a ton of love and passion into cracking the code on bridging inner transformation with outer strategy.
Right now, we have ONE spot available for something we've never offered before:
We're auctioning off our 90-Day Sacred Business Implementation Sprint.
The auction ends on Thursday, August 14 (tomorrow) at 12:00 PM ET.
We've had 35 bids so far and things are heating up.
You'll work with BOTH of us privately in a very highest-touch container for a full 90 days.
This means for 90 days, we'll be your personal Sacred Business architects, implementation partners, and transformation guides.
The current bid is still way less than the normal $25,000 we charge for this level of mentorship.
So if you want to be the lucky winner, now's the time to get your bid in.
