How I Made $50,000 in 10 Days & Learned to Love Myself: My Transformational Journey

Hi there! I’m Gail Keyes Allen, a seasoned money mindset coach, and I want to share my incredible journey with you. It's a story of resilience, transformation, and the power of self-belief. In just 10 days, I made $50,000, and along the way, I learned to embrace self-love. Here’s how it all happened.

From Corporate Accountant to Money Mindset Coach

My journey began in a place many of you might find familiar: a stable but unfulfilling job. For 15 years, I worked as an accountant at a law firm while juggling responsibilities at home, including caring for my grandson. The advent of COVID-19 brought new challenges but also an unexpected opportunity to reassess my life and career.

I was working from home, watching my grandson, and trying to manage everything. It was overwhelming. During this period, I encountered Cathy Heller's program, "Made to Do This." I took a hot seat with Cathy, and that transformative experience ignited a spark of change within me.

The Breakthrough Moment

My journey was not without its struggles. I went into therapy, started coaching people for free, and joined a money book club. My persistence paid off, and I became a certified life coach. Despite facing doubts and criticisms, I pushed forward with an unwavering belief in my potential.

In May, I made a life-changing decision: I quit my corporate job. I quit my job at 65 years old. It was a leap of faith. This bold move was fueled by newfound confidence and the realization that my age was not a barrier but a strength.

The $50,000 Breakthrough

The most astonishing part of my journey came when I made $50,000 in just three weeks. I didn’t launch anything, had no sales page, and was sick with bronchitis and a sinus infection. Yet, my belief in myself and my mission remained steadfast.

I conducted a free one-week masterclass, much like Cathy's challenges, which attracted significant interest. I gave my current clients the opportunity to renew at my lower price, and many did. My pricing evolved from $3,000 to $10,000 for six months, reflecting the immense value I provided.

The Power of Faith and Self-Belief

I attribute much of my success to my faith and belief in myself. Me and God, we’re doing the work. My journey underscores the importance of inner belief and the willingness to take risks. You don’t need a website, LLC, or sales page. You need nothing but yourself.

Despite facing significant personal challenges, including major surgeries and family losses, I found happiness and fulfillment. My grandson is the happiest little person you can imagine. This is bigger than money.

Embracing Messiness and Breaking Rules

One of the most profound lessons I learned is the freedom found in embracing messiness. Cathy gave me permission to do it quick and messy, and that freed me from perfectionism. I encourage others to break rules and trust their journey. I ask my clients, what rules can you break and then break them?

My coaching focuses on empowering women to achieve financial freedom and personal growth. I work primarily with aspiring coaches, guiding them through the process without the need for certifications. I help women make money without a job, mostly through becoming coaches.

Conclusion: Transform Your Life with Me

My journey is an example of what’s possible when you believe in yourself and take bold steps towards your dreams. It’s a powerful reminder that age, circumstances, and perfectionism are not barriers but stepping stones to greater success.
