The Slow Grind from $0 to My First Million: The 5 Year 'Overnight Success Story'
What You See Now Is Not How It Was Then: The Slow Grind from $0 to My First Million. In this raw and vulnerable episode, Lori Kennedy pulls back the curtain on what it really took to build her first million-dollar business. This isn't the Instagram highlight reel; it's the real story of betrayal, panic attacks, legal battles, and the sheer determination it took to go from zero to seven figures. Lori shares the behind-the-scenes truth about her journey from making $13,000 in her first year online to hitting the million-dollar mark five years later. She reveals why most people never achieve their big dreams (hint: it's not about intelligence or resources), and breaks down the exact mindset shifts and daily disciplines that transformed her from someone who asked permission for everything to a confident, successful entrepreneur. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why your "different" nature is actually your superpower in business • The real timeline behind building a million-dollar business (spoiler: it's longer than you think) • How to trust your intuition when making big decisions without proof • What threshold moments are and how to recognize yours • The calling that separates successful practitioners from everyone else • Why representation matters and how to become the example others need to see For more 'becoming' content, make sure you subscribe to the Business of Becoming Podcast hosted by Lori Kennedy.
