I Took The Risk!!

I'm surprised I made it this far! Just two months into my program I lost a dear friend🪽 and nearly quit school. I anxiously chased a dream that seemed so far out of reach.

One by one a new obstacle landed at my feet making the finish line seem impossible. A wise man, my dad🪽, would always say "Quitting is not an option." so I pushed on.

In less than a year I completed my program, graduated, secured a position, AND received my certification.

Let this be your sign to keep going.

-Sincerely,

The Girl Who Never Gave Up🤍

A gray 2016 Nissan Altima is parked in a snowy parking lot at night, illuminated by streetlights. Text overlays announce 'I bought a car from Facebook Marketplace' and identify the car as a '2016 Nissan Altima', with a 'REC' icon and Lemon8 branding.
I bought a car from Facebook Marketplace
I took a big risk buying a car on Facebook Marketplace for the first time, and I was honestly so scared on getting scammed!😵‍💫 This is my third car, and thankfully everything went smoothly. I bought it from the sweetest older lady who took amazing care of it; it’s practically brand new with only 6

Have you been thinking about taking a risk....but fear keeps talking you out of it? ✨ Sometimes we wait for certainty before we move. But growth rarely arrives wrapped in guarantees. If it works, you find happiness. If it doesn’t, you gain wisdom, clarity, and direction. Either way, your soul e

You can change your situation. You can turn things around and make life better for yourself and for your family but you have to believe in yourself and know that you can do this. Have faith. Don’t let fear keep you from what is possible mama. I would love to help you. Drop ready and I can show you

What if this actually works out? We spend so much time worrying about what could go wrong but what if taking the chance changes everything You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain? Sometimes the biggest risk is not taking one at all.

The image features the title "What TAKING THE RISK Actually Looked Like (Behind The Scenes)" in white text on a pink and white background. A laptop, white flowers, and a coffee cup are on a wooden table in a bright room.
The image titled "Turning My $22 Offer Into a Funnel BEFORE I Had the Audience" shows a laptop displaying various images and a person holding a tablet. Key highlights about mapping funnel structure and trusting the backend are listed.
The image describes using a "Freebie + Tripwire Strategy" with a key flow: Freebie > $7 Tripwire > $22 Main Offer > $97 Upsell. A person in a coat and jeans is depicted, illustrating the strategy in action.
What taking a risk actually looks like
Not viral. Not perfect. Not loud. Just me, building systems before I had an audience — and letting strategy work before the spotlight ever did. Here’s what I did: ✨ Built my $22 funnel before the hype ✨ Used a freebie + tripwire strategy I learned inside RGA ✨ Let the funnel follow up while

We all start scared. We all start from a place of not wanting to take that risk but what if that risk is really your door to the life you have dreamed of? The worst place is where you are now and you can only go up from there. Take the risk. #digitalmarketing #affiliatemarketing #workfromhome

A light purple background features a large, faint white question mark. Purple text in the center asks, "What's the biggest risk you've taken?" Light purple quotation marks are in the top left and bottom right corners. A small yellow star and squiggle are near the top of the question mark. "Lemon8" and "@_nicolehanson" are at the bottom left.
