I recently had an awesome interview with Lara La Sala who is a professional integrator. I had worked with Lara back in my Boudie Shorts days and she helped me scale up and systematize my business. And that was back when she was still a VA! Lara has an awesome story of how she got into the online VA space. She worked as an accountant for 8 years before deciding to take a risk on herself and quitting her job to try her hand at being a virtual assistant. She walks me through how she utilized her strong work ethic to both gain clients and learn new skills. Now Lara has started being an integrator for hire. She helps business owners make the switch from doing task management for their team to creating systems and processes to help their team make decisions and work on their own. If you feel like all you are is a task manager for your team, this interview has got some nuggets of wisdom for you! She also talks about her morning routine and how it has skyrocketed her productivity while ensuring that she has time to spend with her family on a daily basis.

“Change is scary… but what is even scarier - regret” - unknown Molly Marie Keyser was the owner of Boudie Shorts, and walked away to start something brand new in the entrepreneurial space. Molly grew a photo studio to multiple 6 figures and others were asking her how she did it. She turned her steps into a profitable online course, grew her online boudoir photography education company to two million per year, and was able to help thousands of photographers around the world in the process! More recently Molly felt a pull to serve on a larger level and pivoted her business to now help service-based business owners add a profitable online course to their business. I wanted to share Molly with you because I respect and admire that she not only a successful photography business but also a massive online boudoir education platform, and she made the brave decision to walk away, hang up her camera, close her studio and start something new. I know personally, that fear can often get in the way of making changes "what will people think” and ignoring your inner feelings. In today's episode, we unpack so much goodness, on listening to your inner voice about when to pivot, and how you can make adaptability your superpower.Discover more about Molly KeyserWebsite: www.profitablecourses.comInstagram: @mollymkeyser Resources shared on this episode:Free PDF on how to choose your course idea

I’m really excited today because we have my friend Molly Kaiser and you guys may know her from her Boudreaux work as well as booty shorts, but Molly and I have been friends for years and she’s been on some of my summer nights and I’ve done some work with her and stuff so it’s really excited to actually have this conversation with her.

So I interned with some photographers. I ended up going to college to study art and photography. And what I’ve kind of learned in college was it was a lot more about, you know, showing an art galleries and things like that.
