$650,000 in debt.

Four kids to feed.

A business partner who backed out the day after she signed a three-year lease.

No job. No money. No Plan B.

That's where Nancy Benet found herself.

Most people would've given up. Filed bankruptcy. Walked away.

But Nancy made a decision: I'm going to make this work. No matter what.

And she did.

Fifteen years later, she's the CEO of a thriving CPA firm with a team of 11, building a national brand—and helping other women do the same.

But here's what makes Nancy's story different:

She didn't hustle her way out. She surrendered her way through.

In this episode, Nancy breaks down the exact 4-step framework she used to manifest her way from drowning in debt to building the business (and life) she actually wanted.

Here's what you'll learn:

→ Step 1: Manage Your State - Why your energy matters more than your strategy (and how to stay calm when everything's falling apart)

→ Step 2: Get Clear on What You Want - Not the "how," just the vision. Nancy shares why holding the North Star (without obsessing over the details) is the key to making it real.

→ Step 3: Take Baby Steps Every Day - How small, consistent action compounds over time (and why leaping too fast creates fear that stops you cold)

→ Step 4: Release What You Want - The counterintuitive truth: holding on tight pushes it away. Nancy explains how surrender brought her everything she needed (including 15 free computers from the universe).

You'll also hear:

  • The "magical procurement moments" that kept showing up when she was open and aligned
  • Why she spent years digging through scrap bins for computer parts—and then got handed everything she needed for free
  • How she learned to love accounting (even though she thought it was boring) by creating it HER way
  • The mistake most new business owners make: chasing someone else's version of success instead of designing their own
  • Why journaling and meditation aren't "woo-woo"—they're how you figure out what YOU actually want (not what everyone else told you to want)

Bottom line:

You don't need a perfect plan. You need a decision, daily action, and the willingness to surrender the "how."

Nancy proved it's possible. And she's here to show you how.
