Figuring it out together, how to introduce yourself + more

We don’t claim to have all the answers around here. You’ll never catch us flaunting the high revenue number + short amount of time formula to get your attention, and we’ll never, ever give you the “proven” playbook for gazillions of dollars in your bank account tomorrow.

We don’t claim to have all the answers around here. You’ll never catch us flaunting the high revenue number + short amount of time formula to get your attention, and we’ll never, ever give you the “proven” playbook for gazillions of dollars in your bank account tomorrow. 

The thing is: making money is really hard work, and there are rarely (read: not a single one) overnight successes. There’s no snake oil or magic potion. 

That’s why BCM isn’t a course, and why members don’t get a curriculum to follow. 

Instead, we’re doing what we think is the key to the grueling, hard work of making money: we’re putting people together who are working on similar things, and we’re arming them with the support of a Growth and Accountability coach for an extra dose of support. 

We’re also sprinkling in some expert wisdom in the form of masterminds and AMAs - stories from people who have been there and done that and can share stories from the battlefield with the added benefit of hindsight. 

We’re convinced that the true answer to making big money from multiple income streams lies in feeling supported. Knowing you’re not at it alone; that you’ve got people doing the same kind of thing right alongside you. People you can come to for both solutions and sympathy. 

So can we guarantee that you’ll make Big Cash Money by the end of this quarter? Nope. But we can absolutely guarantee you’ll be supported in the journey and surrounded by a community figuring it out alongside you. 

We’re fairly confident that that’ll lead to the big bucks as well ❤️

Applications for BCM membership are currently open - spots are limited, apply by this Sunday, June 30.
