How to Get your First Paying Clients, without Feeling like You’re Desperately Chasing People Down EP354

In 18 months, I only landed two paying clients.

Here I was an internationally award-winning sales and marketing expert, and I couldn’t get any new clients for my first business.

Every week I would be on my shower floor crying, begging the Universe for answers, and in total fear that I would have to go back to my corporate career.

It wasn’t for a lack of effort, I pitched at least 50 companies, flew all over the US, sent emails, asked for referrals, worked LinkedIn, and NOTHING seemed to be working.

My inner bully was like, “see I knew you couldn’t do this entrepreneur thing….you can sell stuff for big corporations but not for yourself.”

My pride (ego) wouldn’t allow me to open up and share this with anyone, I was filled with so much shame, and I didn’t want anyone to know.

One day after sleeping for 12 straight hours from pure exhaustion, I got a clear AF divine download…”Stop trying so hard Tiffany, it’s not a good look on you.”

I spent the next full week in a state of full surrender, and was determined to scratch everything I had been doing and start over in every way.

Within two weeks clients who I pitched a year prior came out of the blue needing my services, happily willing to pay my new higher rate…. here’s what I changed:

I re-packaged and priced my services, based on what I knew it was worth versus what I felt people would pay.
I created and prioritized a morning routine designed to pump my self up, reminding my self of how talented and exclusive my expertise was, and told any other negative thoughts to F OFF!
I stopped trying so hard, and being in the energy of chasing people down. Instead, I embraced that the right clients need me, and not the other way around.

Ep 787 Why Your Quantum Jump Isn’t Making You Next Level Money Yet

You feel the shift. You see the signs. You know something is changing… but your income hasn’t caught up.

If you’ve been deep in manifestation, personal growth, and mindset work but still aren’t making more money or seeing results in your business, this episode will show you exactly why.

There’s a gap between feeling a quantum jump internally and actually translating that into income, visibility, and business growth. Most people stay stuck here—consuming content, recognizing patterns, and doing the inner work—without ever turning it into something that makes them money online.

In this episode, Tiffany breaks down what quantum jumping really means in practical terms, why manifestation alone doesn’t create financial results, and how fear of being seen, nervous system responses, and lack of execution block your next level. You’ll also learn how to turn your personal growth, skills, and lived experience into a personal brand that generates income and creates real momentum in your business.

Ep 786 Why You Go All In on Your Business… Then Disappear (And How to Stop this Exhausting Cycle)

If you feel like you go all in on your business, build momentum, start seeing things work… and then suddenly fall off, lose consistency, or disappear altogether, this episode breaks down exactly why.

This is not about discipline, motivation, or “getting it together.” What you are experiencing is a predictable behavioral and neurological pattern that most entrepreneurs misdiagnose.

Inside this episode, you will learn what is actually happening in your brain and nervous system the moment you start gaining traction, why visibility and success can trigger resistance, and how this creates a cycle of inconsistency, self doubt, and lost income.

This episode blends neuroscience, psychology, and real world business strategy so you can stop repeating the pattern and start building consistent momentum that leads to results.
