How I Transitioned From Offline to Online & Built My Personal Brand Business

Share Button

I see this quote floating around social media a lot, “Burn the boats”!

While it’s a nice idea to go “ALL IN” when it comes to being an entrepreneur, betting on yourself (which I’m 100% all for), and going after your dreams, I think burning the boats is not only unrealistic, it’s DANGEROUS!

That’s why I can’t wait to share my personal entrepreneur journey from a successful offline business to how I transitioned to the online space and reinvented myself into a personal brand business!

If you’re anything like me and ever felt like other people became a success seemingly “overnight” or they were able to drop all their responsibilities like having a mortgage, a family, health insurance… all the things to become a bazillionaire entrepreneur overnight, we definitely need to talk!

I can’t think of a single person who became a success by “burning their boats”. It just doesn’t happen that way so let’s chat about what we CAN do, what I did so far in my entrepreneurial journey, and continue to do!

I think you’ll feel so much more hopeful and empowered afterward!

Here’s a sneak peek of what we talked about: 

  • [9:29] How I don’t put all my eggs in one basket!
  • [11:45] Why there’s no such thing as an overnight success!
  • [20:41] My exact timeline and what I did first, second, and what’s next!
  • [34:46] How I created three streams of income and what they are!

How I Don’t Put All My Eggs In One Basket

We see these really inspiring quotes, like “burn the boats” in reference to entrepreneurship. This notion of burning the boats is tempting unless you have rent, mortgages, healthcare, or children to take care of. If you’re anything like me when I started my online journey I didn’t just one day decide to quit my offline business and completely pivot overnight to an online business with no product, audience, or email list.

There is no shame if you’re currently in the transition period of going from offline to online in your business or if your business right now is a side hustle. We have to create a plan because becoming an entrepreneur doesn’t happen overnight.

To hear more about the real problem with putting all your eggs in one basket, skip ahead to 9:29. 

Why There’s No Such Thing As An Overnight Success

When I first started online I had 15+ years of experience as a full-time makeup artist and wardrobe stylist in production and television. Bodybugg bands, the first wearable body trackers, had just come out. They were so ugly that I decided to add crystals to them. Soon people noticed and started asking me to bling out their bands too.

I started selling custom sparkly Bodybugg bands as a side gig. I would get home from my production work, eat dinner, hang out with my husband, and then around 10 o’clock at night I would start my side gig. I charged anywhere from $100-$150.  

Eventually, I recruited one of my sisters and we started making custom license plates and cell phone covers too. We kept getting ripped off left and right by other “competitors”, but in reality, there really was no competition, because no one could be us. Even though I was already an entrepreneur offline, my side gig helped me tiptoe into the online space.

My Exact Timeline and What I Did First, Second, and What’s Next

I mapped out my entrepreneurial journey because I want you to know that you are not going too slow and you are not too far behind:

  • In 2012, I started blogging: People had tons of questions about makeup and styling, so I started blogging to share the answers to the questions I kept getting asked over and over again on repeat.
  • In October 2014, I became an affiliate marketer: I started to grow a tiny audience of fewer than 3k people. I didn’t even have an email list. I showed up authentically and documented in real-time what I was doing. As a result, I generated over $70k in affiliate sales with a tiny following and zero people on my email list.
  • I did my very first live video on Periscope, in July 2015: My life (and business) was forever changed after getting pushed in front of my first live video. I was no longer the faceless, voiceless person behind my blog that had grown in popularity.
  • In February 2016, I then became number one in affiliate sales: I went from $70k to $400k in affiliate sales and started to partner with major brands. Because I go all-in on being particular and specific about a handful of products, I’m still the number one affiliate for Ring Lights.
  • I beta-tested my digital course, Lights Camera Branding (LCB) program in March 2016: I was flying home from working behind-the-scenes at QVC when I brain dumped the idea for my digital course, LCB, after reading Pat Flynn’s book Will It Fly?

  • In September 2016 I spoke and sold for the first time on stage: While I don’t recommend doing that, every little stepping stone and milestone helped me create the business that I have today.
  • LCB went from a DIY course to a hybrid coaching experience in February 2017:  This is when I started to scale back the amount of time I was dedicating to my offline business.
  • I created my backend membership in May 2018: The LCB Insider’s Club, which is my alumni-only backend membership was literally birthed from a desire from my students who wanted more.
  • March 2019 is when I made my first 7-figure year: It took me 15 months to get to my first $1 Million dollars in revenue. Some people do it fast and it takes some people ten years. The most important thing is that whatever your journey is it’s your journey and you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.
  • We had our biggest 6-figure launch yet in May 2019: Way more than the wins, the failures, obstacles, and challenges are what motivate, drive, and give us something to work for.

Skip ahead to 20:41 to hear more about how to put in the dedication, stay focused, and do it despite the haters. 

How I Created Three Streams of Income and What They Are

There is no such thing as security – even with a job, there is a false sense of security. I have three streams of income and that makes me feel a little bit safer and a little bit more secure in an industry and a lifestyle where there are no guarantees:

  • Digital Course & Backend Membership: I’ve got my digital course, LCB, and that goes into my backend membership, the LCB Insider’s Club, where I get to hang out with people and really see them blossom their business. I share the many pros and cons that people don’t talk about with backend memberships here on my blog.
  • Affiliate Marketing & Referral Relationships: I still do affiliate marketing and have tons of referral relationships. I have multiple blogs on affiliate marketing, including an amazing two-part series you can access here.
  • Consulting: I still do consult which allows me to work with the best of the best. In the past five years, I’ve worked on three New York Times bestseller book launches. I’ve also consulted with CNN, Foxx, and many shows that pivoted last year to livestream from their own home.

Create what you wish existed in the world… and s Create what you wish existed in the world… and start with you! 

You’re not lost, confused or stuck if you find yourself in mid-life questioning just about everything from your business, love relationships, the quality of friendships, health, spirituality… every important area of being a human! 

Evaluate all of it. Ask yourself what do you NO longer want or will tolerate? 

What are you craving more of? Pause to think deeply about that so that you don’t continue to repeat patterns and behaviors that no longer serve you. 

I’m at the beginning stages of my NEXT “reinvention tour”. It was the focus for the Baja Mexico retreat I just got back from. 

I’ve reinvented myself before, it’s probably not my last and that’s a GREAT thing!

While there’s a ton of uncertainty right now, what I DO know is that I have more than enough acquaintances and transactional relationships in my life and businesses. 

What I’m craving more of is a DEEPLY connected circle of trusted peers and friendships. 

The kind where there’s no competition, no ulterior motives, zero jealousy, just “I love you, I support you, you’re a big f*cking deal, and let’s do great things together while we are here on Earth” kinda energy.

When the doubt creeps back in, I remind myself that the unknown is the realm of infinite potential only made possible by change. 

So I’m leaning into this stage of mid-life not as a crisis but as a clear sign to trust my intuition and shake myself awake from floating through life. 

I want my life abundant with purpose, intention and connections. 

However you choose to reinvent yourself, whatever you come to realize, know this… 

✨May your current ceiling be your future floor✨

It is not too late. You are not too old to start n It is not too late. You are not too old to start now. To start again but this time with wisdom.

Middle age, mid-life, perimenopause, menopause, MAN-opause/Andro-pause (Yes the guys too)… it all needs a major REBRANDING. 

Let’s fire and hire a new PR company cause that last one sucked and start a whole new movement to flip the entire narrative on its head about the true GIFT that is entering the second half of life! 

Talk about a revolutionary reinvention tour that is a long time coming and I’m here for it. I hope you are too! 

I’m in the thick of it. The gloriously messy middle with this topic of the mid-life journey. 

The wild and twisty pivots, realizations, life giving experiences, WISDOM, all the hormonal changes along with the physical shifting (and working on REshifting), acceptance of this new chapter, fully discovering our voice, knowing what we DO want as well as saying heck no to the things we’re finally releasing especially the (unwelcomed) opinion of others and anything that has held us back in the past including ourselves.

Mid-life is just that. It’s only the halfway point. Be proud of where you are and who you are along with all the exciting possibilities of whatever is next! 

If you love this topic. If you want, need, crave more on this topic, check out @nataliejillfit virtual summit event with over 45 experts including the brilliant @chalenejohnson who first connected me with @nataliejillfit way back in the day!

I’m NOT an affiliate. I AM a super proud speaker for this event as well as long time friend & supporter of Natalie who is creating important work to help redefine & rebrand mid-life!
Life Is Liminal. Between two things. When you’ Life Is Liminal. 
Between two things. 
When you’re mid-page turn finishing the current chapter before starting the next. 
It’s that space between stimulus and response as Viktor Frankl has said. 

Will you be brave enough to be open and vulnerable to invite whatever comes next? 

Turn the fear of the unknown into a child-like curiosity? 

This is where transformations take place. When you’re in the awkward messy middle and you find yourself back into the chrysalis once again. 

That’s how it’s supposed to be. We’re not butterflies. We get to evolve many times throughout our lifetime if we allow it to happen. 

Let it. 
Embrace it. 
Welcome it. 

Thank you to all my new compadres that I got to spend eight life changing days with who created the safe space to experience my “Baja Aha’s”.
Your million dollar business idea is probably star Your million dollar business idea is probably staring right at you waiting for you to finally👀SEE it! 

It’s so obvious that it’s NOT, until you have that Oprah-worthy AHA 💡moment!
