🚀 From Gaming Tech Lead to AI Career Coach: Vicki's Journey

I am so excited to introduce you to Vicki , a powerhouse entrepreneur who is proving that career curveballs can be turned into your greatest wins! Vicki was a senior leader in the gaming industry when her studio unexpectedly closed. Instead of rushing back into the 9-to-5 grind, she leaned into her passion for tech and mentoring to build a business on her own terms. The "One Thing" Strategy Vicki didn't just become "a coach." She narrowed her focus to a specific niche: helping Gameplay Programmers integrate AI into their workflow. She's moving beyond the fear of "AI stealing jobs" and showing pros how to use it to amplify their skills and efficiency. How She's Winning: The 5 AM Club: Before her studio closed, Vicki dedicated her early mornings to writing book chapters and building her foundation. Imperfect Action: She started with free practice sessions to validate her coaching, which quickly turned into powerful testimonials and even a paid speaking gig! Scalable Success: She's already mapped out her year—moving from 1:1 coaching to digital products so she can enjoy more time with her son and the freedom of the laptop lifestyle. Vicki's Words of Wisdom: "Just get started. You can get stuck in the planning phase and never go anywhere. Take the step, try it... and learn by doing." Vicki is a testament to what happens when you commit and take those "baby steps" every single week.
