You've built something amazing. Your coaching business is thriving. Your courses are selling. You're helping people transform their lives.
But if you're honest, something feels disconnected.
You're making great money and still stressed about cash flow. You're charging premium prices and somehow still have consumer debt. You're building a thriving business while your own life feels scattered and out of alignment.
In this episode of The Expert Edge, I sit down with Erin Skye Kelly, who went from $2.1M in debt in her twenties to building a seven-figure business helping thousands of women-especially six-figure earners-break the cycle and build genuine wealth.
Here's the insight that changed everything for her (and can for you): making money and building wealth are two completely different games. And the gap between them isn't another strategy or funnel. It's about the promises you make to yourself and whether you actually keep them.
What you'll learn:
→ Integrity with yourself is the foundation - Why keeping promises to yourself matters more than any business tactic
→ Debt isn't the problem-it's a symptom - The mindset patterns that created the debt (and how to shift them)
→ Six-figure earners become millionaires differently - Timeline, psychology, and strategy are completely different depending on your starting point
→ Community is the secret to scaling - Why hiring a community manager is crucial after you hit $1M
→ The role of overfunctioning in wealth sabotage - How you break promises to yourself in business the same way you do in life
Real insights from the episode:
- Erin's journey from $2.1M in debt to seven figures (and what changed)
- Why she rebranded from just "Get Out of Debt" to serving six-figure earners becoming millionaires
- The difference between a person with negative net worth and a six-figure earner with debt
- How long it takes to become a millionaire depending on your starting point (3-5 years vs 8 years)
- Why working with Tony Robbins shaped her approach to coaching and events
- The importance of staying connected to your mission and your clients
- How to scale to $5-10M without losing the connection to what matters
- The role of a community manager in keeping the pulse of your business
- Why integrity with yourself shows up in every area of your life and business
