What happens when you lose your six-figure corporate job at 50 and decide to build a business from scratch instead of updating your resume?

In this student spotlight, I'm sitting down with LaShall Dodson, who launched Dedicated Virtual Professional Services in March 2024 after a merger acquisition eliminated her Fortune 500 position. In her first year, she made $34,000. By the end of year two? $226,000.

LaShall breaks a LOT of t...

You know what no one tells you about scaling to multiple six figures? I did it with 400 Instagram followers and a hundred people on my email list. When I hit $1.2 million in one year, I had 4,000 followers on Instagram. Not 40,000. Not 400,000. Just 4,000. My email list was about 8,000 at the time, and we didn't even have a website.

If you've been spinning your wheels trying to grow your Instagram following because you thi...

Here's something no one tells you about scaling a service-based business: imposter syndrome doesn't go away when you get better clients. It actually gets worse.

When you're just starting out, you're wondering if you're good enough at your skill. But when you start going after premium clients? Now you're wondering who the heck you are to work with someone more successful than you.

You know what's so stinking wild? You're out here with experience, client results, and case studies that would make other people jealous, and you're still attracting clients who need handholding, who question your price, and who ghost you after discovery calls.

I hate to break it to you, but it's not them. It's your messaging.

You're speaking to beginner-level problems when there's a whole world of ...

Look, I'm not here to sugarcoat this for you.

AI is replacing service providers left and right in 2026, and if you're offering one of these five services, you could be next.

But before you panic and think this is some doom-and-gloom situation, let me be clear: I'm not here to fear-monger. I'm here to give you a wake-up call so you can pivot NOW instead of getting to the end of 2026 frustrated with your lack of cli...

Here's what's about to happen in 2026: While you're over here listing out deliverables and making yourself sound like a Jill of all trades, your competitor just positioned herself as a growth partner and landed a $10K retainer client.

Or they niched down so specifically on the one service they're incredible at that they're charging $4,000-$5,000 per client.

The words "service provider," "virtua...

If you can be replaced with a prompt, your pricing power in 2026 is racing to zero. And here's what no one's really talking about or telling you: it's not that you need to learn more about AI. Yes, that will help you, but it's about becoming the kind of service provider that AI can't replace.

At the end of the day, that's what we need to focus on in 2026, becoming irreplaceable instead of replaceable wi...
