What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a Women's Empowerment & Entrepreneurship Coach. I empower women who feel stuck in a 9 to 5 by helping them start an online business, strategize their leap into entrepreneurship, and build their own roadmap to a life they love.
Tell us about yourself
I launched my coaching journey on the premise that every woman has an unapologetic right to live purposefully, dream boldly, and strive relentlessly in pursuit of the life she knows she is destined to live. After 25+ years of working as an Accountant with the County of Los Angeles, I started feeling stuck, frustrated, and unfulfilled. I didn't necessarily hate my job, but I knew that I wanted more out of life. I was ready to venture out on my own, spread my wings, and grow into the person I knew I was created to be.
When COVID hit, it really changed my perspective on life. For me, life started to seem more fragile, and time's seemingly abundance felt fleeting. So, with the fear of life's regrets at the forefront, I begin making moves in pursuit of my dreams. Eventually, my planning, prayers, beliefs, and actions worked harmoniously to manifest breakthroughs, allowing me to blissfully make my 9 to 5 Freedom Leap in December 2020.
So now I'm paying it forward by helping other women plan and strategize their transition from a 9 to 5 into entrepreneurship and financial freedom. Why? Because I absolutely love working with women who are willing to break through the gender social norms, challenge their fears, elevate their voices and show the world who they were meant to be.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I've met with women who'd lost faith in their ability to change their circumstances. But when presented with the multitude of opportunities for altering their course in life, they light up. For them, that glint of hope is transformative. For me, helping them see what's possible – that's an accomplishment.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
As a business owner, you have to juggle a lot of hats. And if you don't carve out time for yourself, you can easily get lost in the shuffle. This is really difficult when you have content that needs to be created, posting that must be done, emails that need to go out, and appointments that just can't wait. When you're going nonstop, burnout is inevitable. Time blocking and employing automation help though it's still challenging not to go hard when you're doing something you love.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Choose your business based on the things you love to do.
- Make a point to practice self-care.
- Celebrate the small wins.
