504: How to Go From Side Hustle to $1 Million | My Coaching Session with Dielle Charon

This week in the guest chair is sales and business coach Dielle Charon, founder of For the 23% , where she helps women of color build profitable businesses and grow their income through coaching and entrepreneurship. Dielle shares how she went from earning $2,500 a month as a social worker with six-figure student loan debt to building a multi-seven-figure coaching business.

Along the way, she explains why traditional jobs often undervalue your skills, how to identify the expertise you can monetize, and why the coaching industry continues to grow despite criticism. In this conversation, we also dive deep into the mindset shifts needed to move from six-figure income to seven-figure business growth, including overcoming people-pleasing, claiming your expertise, and stepping fully into your authority.
