THEY’RE YOURS FOR THE TAKING.

(And I can show you how to get there.)

Do one of these sound awkwardly familiar?

👉 You crave the idea of your own business, but getting started is so overwhelming; where do you even begin? And how too you juggle it with the rest of your life, your own health, caregiving responsibilities, and the full-time job currently paying the bills. And although you hate to admit it, in the back of your mind is all kinds of fear, worry, doubt, and Impostor Syndrome keeping you stuck at this crossroads, unable to make the decision forward. (But mostly, it’s the overwhelm. Oh and the Shiny Object Syndrome. Not to mention, the Comparisonitis. And the crushing sense of time passing you by. Fuuuuuuuuuck.)

🫣 Or maybe you’ve started your own business, and have been at it long enough to feel like you should be making more money by now. You’re running in 20 different directions but none of them are forward (or fast enough) and you’re starting to think you might be the problem, like maybe you’re just not cut out for this. You’re burning out and wondering if going back to a “real job” would be smarter. How can you possibly make more money when you can barely keep up with making hardly any?

🙇‍♀️ Or maybe your biz IS making money. In fact, things look great on paper. But behind-the-scenes… is this nagging sense of “wtf am I even doing because I have no idea”. And maybe some “damn, is it even worth it?” You’re stressed and burning out, unsure what you want, unsure what to do, so you just keep showing up each day, doing what’s in front of you and wondering where it’s all going.

Why hello there gorgeous, I’m Tara Wagner.

I’m the Breakthrough Coach for small business owners ready to crush their goals, NOT their soul.

Since 2010 I’ve been coaching clients on mindset and Belief Breakthrough, and have been teaching small business owners since 2017 how to breakthrough bottlenecks and apply simple and practical business strategies to help them create more freedom and zero burnout. 

Whether you’re already burning out, or struggling with Impostor Syndrome keeping you small, or doing all the things but aren’t sure why they aren’t working…let me assure you:

You CAN do this. You ARE cut out for this. You just need a roadmap from someone who gets it.

And I get it.

I started my own entrepreneurial journey back in 2000, at the ripe old age of not-quite-19, with a 1 year old in tow, and with all the cards stacked against me.

As a high school drop-out, recently out of an abusive relationship, with a history of drug abuse and on welfare, I had NO idea what I was doing.

I remember being so nervous to call about my first business license, just sure they’d spot me as an imposter, that I spent 20 minutes practicing how my mom sounded when she had to call the bank.

But there was no other choice in my mind. I needed to pay the bills (and get off food stamps), and I knew I’d never be happy if my freedom was dictated by someone else’s goals.

So I got my hustle on, and I did okay for a few years.

But I had no idea that to really grow a business meant investing massively in growing yourself.

Your beliefs about yourself, what was acceptable, what was safe…

Your skills in every area of business (because being good at what you do is NOT the same as being good at biz)…

And all those softer skills I was artfully ignoring — like self-care, communication, decision-making, prioritization, boundaries, and on and on.

Finally, I hit my breaking point.

I remember sitting with Justin (my hubby) on our bed one night, about 8 years into my business, crying that I just couldn’t do it anymore.

I didn’t think I was “good enough”. I couldn’t handle the grind for one more day, pretending to have it all together, worrying where the next deposit would come from, or whether it would come in time. “I’m just not cut out for this.”

The mom guilt.
The “competition”.
The game of comparisons.
The never-ending To Do list.
The 16 hour days where nothing seemed to moved forward.
The self-doubt spin cycle.
My own health issues piling up from the burnout. (Conditions I’m still healing from today!)

Where was this F-ing freedom I had been promised?

It’s absolutely true that you can do “all the right things” and still struggle like hell in biz and in life.

And throwing money at it doesn’t fix it.

You can hire the best copywriters, ad managers, photographers, designers, employees, assistants, and strategists…

But if you don’t invest in growing yourself as a biz owner, you will never grow your business.

Because to be successful, you get to learn the skills, habits, and mindsets that successful entrepreneurs embody in their business AND lives, to stop both from falling apart.

And to do that, you need to overcome your own bad habits and limiting Belief Systems (aka “BS”) so you can crush your goals, not your soul.

Which brings me back to why you're probably here…

Oh hun, I freaking get it.

I know what it’s like to love your kids, but feel like your business is your baby too. (And it needs more attention if any of them want a birthday party this year).

I understand the feeling of spinning all the plates and juggling all the hats you’re supposed to be wearing.

I know the resistance towards that next level, because of what it might mean to your marriage or your health.

(More success = more stress…right?)

I’ve been there…

Playing small, afraid to go all in.

Never feeling like you have enough letters behind your name.

Or still feeling awkward when it’s time to accept a payment and giving away too many discounts to compensate for your fear of sales.

I’ve seen firsthand the long-term detrimental outcome of putting off real self-care in favor of “just a few more minutes” in front of your inbox.

(I’m still living with the chronic illness that creates.)

And I know what it’s like to be bombarded with all the quotes telling you to “Trust the Process” or “Release Your Fears and Play Bigger” or “Work Smarter Not Harder”, and you just want to scream “BUT HOW?!”

Oh hun, I know.

And I want you to know a few things too:

  1. You’re not alone or you’re crazy for feeling this way.
  2. There IS a way through it.
  3. It’s gonna be an “inside” job. But with a lot of support.
  4. And contrary to your own “BS”, you CAN master all of it.
Despite the 30+ health conditions my first business helped to create and that I still live with today, I figured out how to create a multi-6 figure business working only part-time hours.

And if you stick around, I’d love to be the biz BFF that shows you how you can get there too.

In fact, here's where to start....
