We have to know, like this is my genius, this is what I can help people with. But this is also the thing that I need help from other people's zones of genius because I need to make sure that this is good and clean and clear in my business.” - Julie Solomon “  One of the biggest ways that people are missing out on money is they're too conservative when it comes to deductions. Now you never wanna push the edge and be like, oh my entire life is a write off like you're definitely gonna get in trouble if you do that. But what we find most of the time is people are too conservative.” - Nate Coughran GUEST RESOURCES:Cookie FinanceCookie Finance Blog@cookiefinanceRESOURCES:[JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.
