Speaker 5: I love that because we did appreciate we've been hanging
Speaker 5: for the the last few days. We did some media stuff,
Speaker 5: hanging out some last few days, and what is the
Speaker 5: largest draw for you, Like, what was it that made
Speaker 5: you decide entrepreneurship was the right route that you wanted to.
Speaker 6: Go with me. Ever since I was a kid, my
Speaker 6: favorite game was playing business. We had a huge front porch,
Speaker 6: I had a table, I had a little cash register,
Speaker 6: I had a phone, I had invoices and a catalog
Speaker 6: that used to belong to my dad. I used to
Speaker 6: sell paints to my sister in high school. I used
Speaker 6: to babysit. My parents were entrepreneurs. My mom took care
Speaker 6: of kids at home and my dad worked in eight
Speaker 6: to five and took all these side hustles to bring
Speaker 6: in money. So I grew up around it. I love
Speaker 6: the art of doing business, and as soon as I
Speaker 6: could yep all my Doug's in a row, I would
Speaker 6: do that. And I started with babysitting. And now I'm
Speaker 6: at a point where I've had multiple businesses. I've put
Speaker 6: four businesses and now I have two. And you know,
Speaker 6: it's one of those things that I think of an
Speaker 6: idea and I'm like, ooh, that could be a business,
Speaker 6: and it's just part of my DNA.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 5: I love that, And I love the fact that you
Speaker 5: said that your mother was an entrepreneur and she took
Speaker 5: people in because not everyone want to put that together.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, Jennifer, what about yourself?
Speaker 7: Well, first, thank you so much Dev for inviting me
Speaker 7: to be on the podcast. I am am just thrilled
Speaker 7: to be here with all of these amazing fellow entrepreneurs
Speaker 7: and entrepreneurs like yourself. You know, for me, it really
Speaker 7: came at a change in my life. You know how
Speaker 7: a lot of times as when when we get stuck
Speaker 7: in the different roles and the different labels that you know,
Speaker 7: people are.
Speaker 8: Putting on us or we're putting on ourself.
Speaker 7: Well, for me, I had had a career as a
Speaker 7: professional actress and I decided to leave that career. I
Speaker 7: moved halfway across the country and I started thinking, Okay,
Speaker 7: what am I going to do with the rest of
Speaker 7: my life? And one of the things that happened is
Speaker 7: I was also newly married and I had a very
Speaker 7: very small baby at home with me and another one
Speaker 7: that was going to be on the way. And I
Speaker 7: realized at that time it was time for me to
Speaker 7: start reimagining.
Speaker 8: It was time for me to start thinking about what
Speaker 8: is it that I really want to do with the
Speaker 8: rest of my life.
Speaker 7: And I didn't want to get stuck working for somebody else.
Speaker 7: I didn't want to be a slave to a time clock,
Speaker 7: and I didn't want to do things on somebody else's terms.
Speaker 7: And so I started thinking about what is it that
Speaker 7: I can do that I can be here for my family.
Speaker 7: I can live the kind of lifestyle that I want
Speaker 7: to live, and I can have a thriving business, and
Speaker 7: I can have something that's really truly scalable, and then
Speaker 7: I can have that what I like to call living
Speaker 7: the and and so that's led me to entrepreneurship. It
Speaker 7: led me down the direct sales path and for the
Speaker 7: last almost twenty years, that has been the space that
Speaker 7: I've been in and have had just massive, massive blessings
Speaker 7: as a result of it.
Speaker 4: Wow, I'm just loving the stories Debtsy.
Speaker 9: How about yourself, hun Yeah, I resonate so so much
Speaker 9: with Jennifer. And eight years ago we moved to a
Speaker 9: small little town of forty five people, and I have
Speaker 9: ten years of corporate management experience. I did not want
Speaker 9: to be away from my family for twelve hours a
Speaker 9: day for where we are, and it really just I
Speaker 9: started as a regular administrative assistant and it's really evolved
Speaker 9: into what it is now and I too get to
Speaker 9: be here with my family each and every day, and
Speaker 9: it's it's a life that I love.
Speaker 5: Fantastic And jassree yourself, what made you decide to embark
Speaker 5: on this beautiful world of entrepreneurship?
Speaker 4: Self funding, that's my new term, self.
Speaker 10: Funding, self funded absolutely well, you know, in ayer Veda practice,
Speaker 10: there was really no choice in the sense that because
Speaker 10: it was a new field to North America when I
Speaker 10: started in the eighties, late eighties. I'm in my seventy
Speaker 10: seventh year now of continuous practice and still working full time,
Speaker 10: enjoying it and loving it and just loving your world
Speaker 10: your word, entrepreneur, because truly we have to be that,
Speaker 10: we have to be the superwoman. Most of us, yes,
Speaker 10: got involved because of needing to be at home for
Speaker 10: the children with especially when they were very young. Certainly
Speaker 10: that was my case as well. But the last job
Speaker 10: I ever had in my life was in nineteen seventy seven,
Speaker 10: and other than that, I've always made my own way,
Speaker 10: just telling one person at a time about what I do,
Speaker 10: what I have to offer. And while the practice has
Speaker 10: created itself through seminars, through workshops, through trainings, through individual consultations,
Speaker 10: just all word of mouth. So that's how I happen
Speaker 10: to be here today, through your good graces, deb to
Speaker 10: offer me this word of mouth opportunity.
Speaker 4: Awesome. I love that. I love that word of mouth.
Speaker 5: And for those of us that have been around, that
Speaker 5: have been doing our businesses for a long time, we
Speaker 5: understand the power of the word of mouth.
Speaker 4: And you know what, the other thing that you.
Speaker 5: Said that I love is that the business started to
Speaker 5: build itself. And I think it's a beautiful thing when
Speaker 5: you're able to stand back and see yourself and then
Speaker 5: see your business as its own entity and that you
Speaker 5: are part of that and you have a relationship with
Speaker 5: your business because it starts to do its own thing,
Speaker 5: and that's absolutely beautiful. Thank you, thank you, thank you
Speaker 5: so much. And Miss Sue Coleman, I just to see
Speaker 5: you today, honey.
Speaker 11: I'd love to be here, dev thanks for inviting me.
Speaker 11: Loving to meet all these other amazing women. And it's
Speaker 11: a bit of everything that everybody said so far is
Speaker 11: what got me into it. When I look back, Yeah,
Speaker 11: I was, I have my paper route. When I was
Speaker 11: a kid, I did babysitting. I was an avon lady
Speaker 11: when my kids were little. I needed some adult conversation.
Speaker 11: So I thought that'll be a good way to get
Speaker 11: out and about. And then I went into the lovely
Speaker 11: world of real being a realtor, and I'm thinking, yeah,
Speaker 11: I'll have time freedom. I'm not sure what I was
Speaker 11: smoking when I chose that career, but one thing I
Speaker 11: did not have was time freedom. But that as it was,
Speaker 11: it gave me time to be with my kids. But really,
Speaker 11: over the last probably twenty years, I've really embraced being
Speaker 11: an entrepreneur. I've been involved in direct sales, and now
Speaker 11: I just love doing what I do now with coaching
Speaker 11: because I love being a digital nomad. I like not
Speaker 11: having to be tied to a desk score, tied to
Speaker 11: a schedule. I can work my sort of schedule when
Speaker 11: I'm enthusiastic, I get on with the things that I
Speaker 11: need to do, and I can chill when I'm not
Speaker 11: at my most productive. That for me is just why
Speaker 11: I just love being an entrepreneur.
Speaker 5: Well, when I hear you talk, I just hear like freedom, freedom, freedom,
Speaker 5: And like when you're saying that right now, you know
Speaker 5: you love being able to live your life the way
Speaker 5: that you live your life, I just hear. I just
Speaker 5: hear a lot of the word freedom, and I know
Speaker 5: that you've worked hard to achieve that. So congratulations, You're welcome,
Speaker 5: Miss Kathleen Carlson.
Speaker 12: Yeah, Hi, everybody. It's so nice to be here with
Speaker 12: all these beautiful women. And I get I'm lucky enough
Speaker 12: to spend a lot of time with dem so this
Speaker 12: is just so good. You know, I'm going to say
Speaker 12: I'm probably exactly the opposite of Pat. I did not
Speaker 12: have an entrepreneur in my veins. In fact, I was
Speaker 12: raised completely different. I grew up in a still mill
Speaker 12: industrial town, and I was raised with the belief you
Speaker 12: get with a good company, you work really hard, and
Speaker 12: they'll take care of you. And I did exactly that.
Speaker 12: Albeit I had to move twenty two hundred miles across
Speaker 12: the country where women were allowed to work really in
Speaker 12: upper management positions, and so I did just that. And
Speaker 12: I won't say that I hated that, because I was
Speaker 12: building my tool chest.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 12: Thirty years corporate leadership, a lot of fun, a lot
Speaker 12: of not so fun. But at some point I realized,
Speaker 12: you know, I have spent my whole career, my whole
Speaker 12: adult life, trying to fit in where others really didn't
Speaker 12: even want me to fit in. So I didn't realize
Speaker 12: how much fight was in me all the time, and
Speaker 12: you know that wears you down. And eventually I got
Speaker 12: to a point after thirty years and said, you know what,
Speaker 12: I want to go where I don't have to fight
Speaker 12: all the time. I'm working like crazy, I'm contributing, I'm helping,
Speaker 12: I'm a servant, and it just didn't feel appreciative.
Speaker 8: And also my.
Speaker 12: Values became so far different from where I was in
Speaker 12: the corporate and I just couldn't wake up and face
Speaker 12: that anymore.
Speaker 8: So I sort of.
Speaker 12: Got a little bit forced into happily into entrepreneurship.
Speaker 4: Awesome, I love it right.
Speaker 5: This is like a wild garden, all the different kinds
Speaker 5: of flowers and Miss Patsy Saunders.
Speaker 4: So what was your draw was? What was the drive
Speaker 4: to step into the world of entrepreneurship.
Speaker 13: Well, ever since I was a kid, I've always wanted
Speaker 13: to be a hairstylist like I do by doll's hair,
Speaker 13: my mom's hair, and my neighbor's hair. And I ended
Speaker 13: up winning a scholarship to go to beauty college because
Speaker 13: that's what I ever wanted to do.
Speaker 14: So I have done that for five decades plus.
Speaker 13: But eight years ago I met a speaker trainer and
Speaker 13: this program where I had lost eighty pounds, she had
Speaker 13: lost weight, and I stepped into being the woman I
Speaker 13: used to vision myself. But she was not there before
Speaker 13: because she was dealing with life and ate over it.
Speaker 13: And so when I got a right sized body and
Speaker 13: I started, you know, changing my own inner outer image
Speaker 13: of who I was being, I took. I was helping
Speaker 13: her with her course and she said, Patsy, you have
Speaker 13: to get you know, color typed in this elements and
Speaker 13: I'm going, I know my colors. I'm a winter. I
Speaker 13: should wear black and jewel town like I knew.
Speaker 14: I thought I knew it.
Speaker 13: She goes, but Patsy, what if what you're wearing is
Speaker 13: stopping people from working with you. Well, I had moved
Speaker 13: to a new area and I was struggling trying to
Speaker 13: get new clients, and I couldn't understand why she goes,
Speaker 13: just try it.
Speaker 14: So I stepped into this. I became a fire.
Speaker 13: I didn't want to wear a fire, but I tried it.
Speaker 13: And the tyler said to me, this, why don't we
Speaker 13: just go shopping and buy a few new things, And.
Speaker 14: If people don't treat you differently. You don't have to
Speaker 14: do this.
Speaker 13: I said, okay, fine, And every time I'd wear one
Speaker 13: of those new tops of the salon, my clients go, why, Patsy,
Speaker 13: you look pretty, Dare, why Paths.
Speaker 14: You look nice?
Speaker 13: Day and the salon on recommen. She goes, what are
Speaker 13: you doing differently? I said, change my top. She goes, well,
Speaker 13: whatever you're doing doing it? And I realized that I
Speaker 13: was hiding and playing sight. We're in the wrong colors.
Speaker 13: And I now got compliments everywhere I went.
Speaker 14: Now I had.
Speaker 13: People come up and want to work with me that
Speaker 13: I'd been in network groups before but hadn't wanted to
Speaker 13: work with me. And I realized there's a magic about
Speaker 13: wearing your right colors and an energy that allows people
Speaker 13: to see you.
Speaker 14: It was life changing. So I decided to become a stylist.
Speaker 14: The owner got sick.
Speaker 13: I managed your business for two years, and six years
Speaker 13: ago she sold me the business.
Speaker 14: So I think God has a sense to humor. I
Speaker 14: didn't even want to get colored type. Now I own
Speaker 14: the darn business.
Speaker 13: But what I love is I've always loved helping women
Speaker 13: look beautiful. But what I get to do now is
Speaker 13: help them look beautiful and be more confident than they've
Speaker 13: ever been in their life because they're comfortable being who
Speaker 13: they are.
Speaker 14: So it's been life changing.
Speaker 13: And sometimes I think God has a plan for us
Speaker 13: that we don't always know what it is until we
Speaker 13: just get on that road.
Speaker 14: And that's all I've ever wanted to do.
Speaker 13: I'm partially I work part time and I do this
Speaker 13: part time, and I've become working with events and you know,
Speaker 13: just i just love coming alongside other coaches and helping us.
Speaker 14: Have your people been great?
Speaker 13: So it's been really fun having women feel beautiful.
Speaker 5: So it's so interesting, how you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 5: how many people have decided to get into business in
Speaker 5: some industries they were like, oh, I got dragged along.
Speaker 5: My friend talked me into it. My friend begged me
Speaker 5: to go into business with them. I wasn't sure. Not
Speaker 5: everybody steps in, you know, fullheartedly. Sometimes the moment of uh,
Speaker 5: you know, the angels, the entrepreneur angels start singing three
Speaker 5: or six months down the road.
Speaker 4: So, oh my gosh.
Speaker 5: So Kathy Holt, Miss Kathy Holts, And for you, what
Speaker 5: was it that drew you to this world of entrepreneurship?
Speaker 15: Well, I think, like so many of these stories that
Speaker 15: we have all presented today, I was one of those
Speaker 15: in younger years that always was figuring out something something
Speaker 15: to do to get money. But then I did go
Speaker 15: into a world of working and organized in organizations and
Speaker 15: it was fine.
Speaker 14: I learned a lot.
Speaker 15: As Kathleen said, you know, it added to my toolkit.
Speaker 15: But I then moved to Brazil. My daughter's father is
Speaker 15: Brazilian and we lived down there, and I didn't fit
Speaker 15: in anywhere, so I had to start my own business.
Speaker 15: And I saw all of the wonders of the Amazon
Speaker 15: and decided to go into natural products and opened one
Speaker 15: of the first natural products stores in the city where
Speaker 15: I lived, which was over two million people. So that
Speaker 15: was kind of the beginning. And now as I've matured
Speaker 15: in my work life, I've realized that women make it
Speaker 15: fifty one percent of the population, yet only about a
Speaker 15: third of the leadership and only ten percent of CEOs
Speaker 15: are women. I didn't want to be working that hard
Speaker 15: to be a CEO or own my own business or
Speaker 15: make my own decisions. I wanted to be that person,
Speaker 15: so that's what I went into.
Speaker 6: It.
Speaker 4: This is a complete wild garden.
Speaker 5: Thank you so much, and I know that there is people.
Speaker 5: You know, we talk about that, right because we've been
Speaker 5: entrepreneurs for a little while. Now, I love your word mature.
Speaker 5: Thank you will borrow that, Kathy. So as we vo
Speaker 5: matured right and maybe done one business or two businesses,
Speaker 5: or some of us have different businesses within one, there's
Speaker 5: still many, many people that are thinking about the world
Speaker 5: of entrepreneurship. And sometimes when we're in it, it's kind
Speaker 5: of like, oh, everyone's like, doesn't everyone write a book?
Speaker 4: And I'm like, well, no, less than three.
Speaker 5: Percent of the planet actually, right, But those of us
Speaker 5: that are in it that we see it. And so
Speaker 5: we're starting to see people becoming open to not only
Speaker 5: adding on a side gig, but coming out of school
Speaker 5: right into entrepreneurship. We're seeing classes changing, We're seeing you know,
Speaker 5: most of you know that my son started his first
Speaker 5: company and he's just you know, he's twenty, and that
Speaker 5: there is this kind of like, Pat, you were raised
Speaker 5: in an entrepreneurial home.
Speaker 4: But we see people being raised in an entrepreneurial world.
Speaker 5: We see that opportunity not as oh, I don't know,
Speaker 5: but something very tantalizing, something that you know, allows people
Speaker 5: to be creative, and we're seeing a drop in college
Speaker 5: and university.
Speaker 4: Sign ups and things like that.
Speaker 5: So, ladies, as we kind of go around, maybe share
Speaker 5: what you think in terms of why entrepreneurship has become
Speaker 5: so you know, so popular. And at the same time,
Speaker 5: if you were to take one word or two words,
Speaker 5: I know that you shared.
Speaker 4: And what you know what, but what is it? What
Speaker 4: is it that keeps you on the path, What is
Speaker 4: it that makes you happy? You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: What does that makes you happy?
Speaker 5: So for example, I you know, I'm a big proponent
Speaker 5: of direct sales.
Speaker 4: I love direct sales.
Speaker 5: One of the things that made me the most happy
Speaker 5: is when I was in direct sales. When I saw
Speaker 5: someone in my team that I knew worked really hard
Speaker 5: have their first walk.
Speaker 4: Across the stage. I mean, oh my gosh, I think
Speaker 4: my body tingled.
Speaker 5: You're behind the stage and you're seeing them and they're
Speaker 5: super nervous be where they go, and they want to
Speaker 5: throw up, and You're like, you got this, Now go
Speaker 5: out there and do that. You know, that for me
Speaker 5: was one of the things that kept me going from
Speaker 5: when I was really strong in that industry. So your
Speaker 5: comments a little bit on why you see people coming
Speaker 5: in because I know that a lot of you are coaches.
Speaker 5: You're working with first time people, right, even for you Jastree,
Speaker 5: where people are starting. I mean, who could imagine just
Speaker 5: hearing about ir Beta now right and DESI you're in
Speaker 5: massive demand because all of these entrepreneurs, so you get
Speaker 5: to talk all the time. They're like, I need tech,
Speaker 5: I need you know this kind of thing and like,
Speaker 5: you know, Patsy, you just said getting people ready for
Speaker 5: stages and what have you. So you're all seeing it
Speaker 5: in your business, this whole wave. So what do you
Speaker 5: think that's about that? And if you could say the
Speaker 5: one thing that makes you really happy about being what
Speaker 5: it is that you specifically do, let us know.
Speaker 4: So pat back to you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so thanks for creating this an energetic space. I
Speaker 6: just love the gifts that are being presented and just
Speaker 6: the energy and spirit. When COVID hit, it was a
Speaker 6: game changer for a lot of women. They were forced
Speaker 6: to go back into the workforce. Actually were they were
Speaker 6: forced to go work to work at home, and they realized, heck,
Speaker 6: I enjoy being at home. Oh my god, I have
Speaker 6: more flexibility. I get to spend time with my kids
Speaker 6: and they they had a wake up call, and one
Speaker 6: out of four women right now are contemplating moving moving
Speaker 6: into entrepreneurship because of the flexibility, the money, the growth.
Speaker 6: They're the boss, and so I get to work with
Speaker 6: those clients. Right now, I have two clients that are
Speaker 6: looking at that, and what brings me joy and satisfaction
Speaker 6: is to see them get that clarity of really what
Speaker 6: they want to do and have that transformation happen right
Speaker 6: in front of my eyes. And then watching those shoulders
Speaker 6: drop and say, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's
Speaker 6: what I want to do, and just you know, watch
Speaker 6: that joy in them. I'm like I could be and
Speaker 6: I will be, and I will coach forever because of
Speaker 6: that satisfaction and that joy that I see when I
Speaker 6: see women move forward and reach their goals.
Speaker 4: Wow, clarity, clarity, clarity, Absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 5: And Jennifer, I know that you see this all the
Speaker 5: time in what you do, right the trepidacious And so
Speaker 5: for yourself, what do you think is being the big
Speaker 5: draw and what makes you you know, what's that sweet spot?
Speaker 4: What makes you happy?
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, dev I think it's a couple of things.
Speaker 7: I think it's absolutely what pat was talking about that
Speaker 7: I think the pandemic really made a lot of people
Speaker 7: reset think about.
Speaker 8: What it is that they were doing.
Speaker 7: You know, there were so there was so much fear,
Speaker 7: there was so much you know, requestioning what it is
Speaker 7: that you were doing with your life.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 7: There's some interesting data that's come out recently from Forbes.
Speaker 7: Actually this couple of weeks ago, they put out a
Speaker 7: study and they had they had done the study and
Speaker 7: they were specifically looking at the group of gen z
Speaker 7: and millennia and it was really interesting because they said
Speaker 7: that well over fifty percent of gen z ers and
Speaker 7: millennials were currently unhappy with their corporate position, so working
Speaker 7: in a corporate position. However, the staggering statistic that came
Speaker 7: out the follow up was that over seventy four percent
Speaker 7: of them were interested in entrepreneurship. And it really when
Speaker 7: you look when you peel back the layers of the study,
Speaker 7: it was talking about specifically that this group they want
Speaker 7: to do things on their terms. And so it goes
Speaker 7: back to what I shared earlier of I think there's
Speaker 7: a lot of people like myself, like DESI like so
Speaker 7: many of the beautiful women and entrepreneurs on here, like you, Deb,
Speaker 7: we're going down that direct sales path or going down
Speaker 7: that entrepreneurial path, whatever that might look like. It's an
Speaker 7: answer to being able to do life on your terms,
Speaker 7: to being able to create the type of life that
Speaker 7: you want to be able to have and be able to.
Speaker 8: Live your end.
Speaker 7: I think the second part of it too, though, Deb,
Speaker 7: is I think there's a lot of people like your
Speaker 7: health who are really good, strong examples, and so it's
Speaker 7: showing people the possibilities so that they see the possibilities.
Speaker 7: It's no longer what Kathleen was talking about. You know,
Speaker 7: back in the day where you were stuck very much
Speaker 7: as a woman, there were these roles and labels that
Speaker 7: were assigned to us that we had to just step
Speaker 7: into that role and label. I think people are really
Speaker 7: shedding those roles and labels and they're thinking a little
Speaker 7: bit differently.
Speaker 8: Your second question was what makes me so happy?
Speaker 7: This is really easy, really easy for me as a
Speaker 7: vision strategist. The thing that just gets me up in
Speaker 7: the morning and gives me goosebumps like it does right
Speaker 7: now is that I get to help create alongside my clients,
Speaker 7: alongside the amazing women that I've been working that I've
Speaker 7: worked with, I get to help them create a vision
Speaker 7: for their life and then get to help give them
Speaker 7: a strategy.
Speaker 8: On how to make that come to life.
Speaker 7: There is nothing better, just like you said, seeing somebody
Speaker 7: walk across the stage or earn their first incentive trip,
Speaker 7: or oh my gosh, when I get somebody say, Jennifer,
Speaker 7: I just applied for my first passport and I'm going
Speaker 7: out of the country for the first time in my life,
Speaker 7: and I never thought this could be possible. That's the
Speaker 7: thing that you know gets me up and keeps me
Speaker 7: doing what I'm doing, and it will keep me doing
Speaker 7: what I'm doing for a very long time.
Speaker 4: Awesome, Thank you so much. And DESI, what about yourself? Now?
Speaker 5: You get to see the backside of it a lot,
Speaker 5: right because you're sought out by entrepreneurs, right, So you
Speaker 5: are an entrepreneur that works with entrepreneurs as many of
Speaker 5: us do. As many of us do. So I don't
Speaker 5: know what is it? What gets what's your happy place?
Speaker 5: And why do you think this is happening right now?
Speaker 9: I really think this is happening, you know, as all
Speaker 9: these other beautiful ladies have said, it's the pandemic created
Speaker 9: a massive shift in the entrepreneurial world and I love it.
Speaker 9: I love seeing all of the creativity and the imagination
Speaker 9: that comes out of this generation of entrepreneurs. And you
Speaker 9: are so right. I do see the back end of
Speaker 9: things a lot, and the tech is definitely needed in
Speaker 9: the world. And what really gets me up and keeps
Speaker 9: me going is working alongside of these entrepreneurs and watching
Speaker 9: them blossom into living in their genius and not worrying
Speaker 9: about everything else. Being your genius and everything will succeed.
Speaker 9: And that's really what keeps me going in this.
Speaker 4: Thank you and Jaffrey. I know that you for your industry.
Speaker 5: Being an Arabaa doctor, you teach people how to involve
Speaker 5: are beta in their life and some of those want
Speaker 5: to be become doctors and practitioners like yourself.
Speaker 4: I'm sure you've seen.
Speaker 5: Over the years the eyes opening around are beta, particularly
Speaker 5: where you reside in the Western world.
Speaker 4: I know you are both.
Speaker 5: Tell us a little bit what you see in terms
Speaker 5: of your industry and what brings you joy.
Speaker 10: Oh my joy, I think comes from really being involved
Speaker 10: immersed every day in Ayurveda, the world's oldest holistic medical science.
Speaker 10: Many of us have seen the collapse of our medical
Speaker 10: systems and the inefficacies. We just heard yesterday about a
Speaker 10: young man whose father was killed by yatrogenic wrong prescription
Speaker 10: prescribed by a young doctor. So the family lost their
Speaker 10: father in patriarch and this happens just all too often.
Speaker 10: So when we can really share authentically, deeply, widely with
Speaker 10: the oldest holistic medical science extent, it's still practiced today
Speaker 10: as it was thousands of years ago. So nothing is
Speaker 10: a fad, nothing has changed. The principles are the same.
Speaker 10: So the reliability to me has been a mainstay of
Speaker 10: great motivator. I would say, what else compels me in
Speaker 10: entrepreneurship is the freedom the service to be of service
Speaker 10: to others, To see that in the all critical department
Speaker 10: of health that people contrive, because only on that foundation
Speaker 10: will they grow in other departments of life. I love
Speaker 10: that I report to myself, to my own conscience. I
Speaker 10: love the self reliance and creativity that it affords me.
Speaker 10: And now that we have online access to the next
Speaker 10: generation of learners, you know over COVID. Yes, I had
Speaker 10: to learn all these techniqueques of internet education. So this
Speaker 10: is a great boon as it turns out in the
Speaker 10: history of humanity to reach a much wider audience and
Speaker 10: a much wider you know, emails. I got one this
Speaker 10: morning from a student in Europe who wants to have
Speaker 10: mentorship with me. So how she found out about me?
Speaker 10: You know, I'll come to find out. But this is
Speaker 10: the beauty of having an in person and an internet life.
Speaker 10: I find that it allows me to donate to those
Speaker 10: purposes that I'm thrilled about, motivated for. And in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 10: the Canada AERVEDA Research and Education Foundation, a nonprofit federally
Speaker 10: registered in good standing, now doing good works in these
Speaker 10: two arenas. Now that time for treatment is over in
Speaker 10: my life, very time consuming, energy consuming, but now it's
Speaker 10: really changing to the bigger pictures. So IERVEDA is affording
Speaker 10: me all these purposes as well as travel.
Speaker 4: I get to travel every year.
Speaker 10: I get out of the cold and into the warm,
Speaker 10: and it is the schedule of my dreams. It's also
Speaker 10: the community of my dreams. Deborah, this company is a
Speaker 10: perfect example. So I'm just grateful for every day, every breath,
Speaker 10: every opportunity.
Speaker 5: Wow, thank you, what a beautiful way to put that.
Speaker 5: It's like, and I love how you're like ayer Veda
Speaker 5: allows me, and it's kind of like our businesses allow
Speaker 5: us right, energy and energy out. I would say that
Speaker 5: when I used to say that when my daughter was
Speaker 5: first dating and she would bring home her little friend
Speaker 5: and I'd be like, we have a role in this house.
Speaker 5: In cases doesn't last forever, and you're not walking down
Speaker 5: the aisle respect in respect out, respect for each other.
Speaker 4: Okay, miss Sue.
Speaker 5: Now I know you are absorbed in the world of
Speaker 5: networking and you are a very powerful connector, and so
Speaker 5: you must see people coming in to this world new
Speaker 5: very much and what it is that their needs are
Speaker 5: in those kind things. So please share with us what
Speaker 5: is it that you're seeing out there and what's the
Speaker 5: thing that you know?
Speaker 11: Well, what I saw, I mean, COVID was an awesome
Speaker 11: opportunity for people in many ways because they did have
Speaker 11: the opportunity to embrace entrepreneurship. What I found was though
Speaker 11: they didn't understand the relationship building, and so the art
Speaker 11: of networking really fell away. And that's what I find
Speaker 11: out A great need right now is people need to
Speaker 11: understand how to build ethical, efficient and effective networks and
Speaker 11: to focus on giving more than taking. Like when I
Speaker 11: was a realtor, everything I did was to get a
Speaker 11: listening or to get a buyer and this kind and
Speaker 11: there's a much sort of gentler and more productive way
Speaker 11: of doing that. And that's what I find entrepreneurs are
Speaker 11: reaching out for, is like all this stuff doesn't work.
Speaker 11: Yes it does, but you have to do the follow up.
Speaker 11: You have to nurture the relationships. You have to stay
Speaker 11: in touch. It's not like, oh I saw it on
Speaker 11: the screen, that's new business. No, and you know, or
Speaker 11: give you a business card. No, you need to build relationships.
Speaker 11: And that's what I find is you know, and that's
Speaker 11: that what's what brings me joys when somebody goes, oh
Speaker 11: I get it, I get it, the light bulb moment
Speaker 11: when somebody they've been sending out I call it my
Speaker 11: sunflower strategy. That you send out referrals to people that
Speaker 11: you know, send people to the hairdresser, to the barber,
Speaker 11: to the nail tech or whatever, and that person remembers
Speaker 11: what you do and sends somebody back. That's you know,
Speaker 11: you feed the pedals and they'll grow the seeds. So
Speaker 11: that's something I find. And also we were given such
Speaker 11: an amazing global opportunity With COVID. It opened people's eyes
Speaker 11: to the world. I mean, we were trapped with these
Speaker 11: darn screens, but oh my, what an opportunity it's given us.
Speaker 11: It just makes me happy when people, you know, have
Speaker 11: that light bulb moment, Oh I get it, and that
Speaker 11: they can to these relationships globally, not just in your
Speaker 11: backyard over coffee. That's not my rent, no.
Speaker 5: No, no, it's a powerful rent. And I think that
Speaker 5: we've all talked to it a little bit. But with
Speaker 5: this challenge came new opportunity. And by the way, people,
Speaker 5: this is how entrepreneurs think. So if you're hearing a theme,
Speaker 5: it's because that's how we're wired. So if you're like
Speaker 5: nod in your head while you're listening to this, you're
Speaker 5: driving boohoo, sorry, you're one.
Speaker 4: Of us, because that's how we think.
Speaker 5: Now, truth be truth, right, DESI, you talked about it,
Speaker 5: so you talked about it, and we've all talked about it,
Speaker 5: and if not, we have experienced it ourselves. And Jasper
Speaker 5: you talked about it. The Internet education that we had
Speaker 5: to go through, as one does when they go from
Speaker 5: one form of doing business to another, or people coming
Speaker 5: in and so they may come in high tech, low touch.
Speaker 5: We came in high touch, low tech, and so wherever
Speaker 5: you're coming in at That's why we all get excited
Speaker 5: when someone gets it, because we all have gifts to
Speaker 5: give and we can see that magic.
Speaker 4: There's an elixir, there's there's always new things to learn.
Speaker 5: But with this great gift came also some deficits, and
Speaker 5: that happens to be one of them that but can
Speaker 5: be learned. So thank you for highlighting that, because you
Speaker 5: know it's not all right, Okay, Miss Kathleen Carlson.
Speaker 12: It's interesting to hear everybody talk about the opportunities that
Speaker 12: came out of COVID. I see that, and I also see.
Speaker 12: For me, what I think is driving people to entrepreneurship
Speaker 12: is that it lent a tremendous exposure. And this might
Speaker 12: not sound popular, but what it exposed was the failure
Speaker 12: in leadership, the lack of mentorship that you know, you know,
Speaker 12: I started out talking about how hard I tried every
Speaker 12: day to fit in, and all.
Speaker 8: I wanted to do was serve well.
Speaker 12: COVID gave everybody that chance to go Yeah, I'm uncomfortable too,
Speaker 12: and I can go out. But the reality is we
Speaker 12: still do need big companies. We still are going to
Speaker 12: have corporations. You know, they provide a tremendous service, and
Speaker 12: we still need leaders, and so there's an opportunity for
Speaker 12: me spending thirty years being a leader and mentoring. That
Speaker 12: was always my favorite piece, always the part that brought
Speaker 12: me sunshine. Yes, we had to meet all the goals
Speaker 12: and all of that, and that's just life. And even
Speaker 12: if you're running your own company as an entrepreneur, you
Speaker 12: still need to hit those numbers. So what brings me
Speaker 12: joy is to be able to look at the women.
Speaker 12: I don't want three out of four women or one
Speaker 12: out of four women saying you know, I learned, I educated,
Speaker 12: I got good at this, but I want out. I
Speaker 12: get to bring them back in and say, look, let's
Speaker 12: own what you are and let's go to business different.
Speaker 12: Let's bring those soft skills that we're so natural at
Speaker 12: and so good at, and let's bring them into the
Speaker 12: business and make that big change.
Speaker 8: So that's what I love to do.
Speaker 4: Awesome, thank you so much for flipping that coin. That's
Speaker 4: what we do. Grow it on the table, let's talk
Speaker 4: about it, let's dig that in. And I love that
Speaker 4: you talked about the numbers. I mean, it's one of
Speaker 4: the big things that I love.
Speaker 5: You know, I always say I do for people what
Speaker 5: they don't want to do, And most beautiful entrepreneurial creatives
Speaker 5: can't stand strategic planning and talking.
Speaker 4: About first, second, and third quarters.
Speaker 5: So right, it's like, there's the variety of what it
Speaker 5: takes to make a business sustainable, and a sustainable person
Speaker 5: is a powerful person. So Patsy, please share what you're
Speaker 5: seeing a real innership out there right now?
Speaker 14: I thought, you know, Covid.
Speaker 13: I was blown away by Covid because I had a
Speaker 13: makeover studio. I had manifested a makeover studio where I
Speaker 13: could do the whole makeover woman. I could do the colors,
Speaker 13: could do their hair and the makeup, everything on one spot.
Speaker 13: It was so exciting to see women start feeling more
Speaker 13: confident and transformed just by knowing how to shop and
Speaker 13: what to wear and feeling good about who being themselves.
Speaker 13: And then when Covid closed my studio down, I thought,
Speaker 13: a funny, god, now what and what I realized is
Speaker 13: that we all as entrepreneurs got online and did the
Speaker 13: Hollywood Squares of networking. Right, That's how we started meeting people,
Speaker 13: and I got a download What Days saying, all these.
Speaker 14: People don't know that what they were may not be
Speaker 14: the best thing. And I thought, well.
Speaker 13: Wonder if I did this virtually, like put together a
Speaker 13: little So I did. I got this idea to put
Speaker 13: a typing git together. I did a little beta testing
Speaker 13: a girl in Oregon, I went in Texas, and then
Speaker 13: I had a coach friend that had a bunch of
Speaker 13: friends that wanted to be color type in this essence,
Speaker 13: and and I could color type all of it and
Speaker 13: it worked. And now I have clients all over the
Speaker 13: world who would have thought that I could change lives everywhere,
Speaker 13: not just locally in my community. So I think the
Speaker 13: one thing that I'm so passionate about is this. The
Speaker 13: world is constantly telling us woman, we're not thin enough,
Speaker 13: we're not pretty enough, we don't wear the right this,
Speaker 13: blah blah blah, blah blah blah. But it keeps women
Speaker 13: guessing all the time, Like I watch it in I
Speaker 13: work at Pennies at the salon now and people.
Speaker 14: Are guessing the hold stuff up like this is look good.
Speaker 13: So it just is so much fun to take that
Speaker 13: guests work out and help women know what to wear,
Speaker 13: how to look.
Speaker 14: Best on zoom on stage.
Speaker 13: I put together a new course on a twenty piece
Speaker 13: event ready wardrobe, so.
Speaker 14: You can do anything. You never have to think.
Speaker 13: About what you're doing net because we've worked together and
Speaker 13: you're ready to go. And so this has evolved over
Speaker 13: time for me to empower my my people, my friends
Speaker 13: and women that are amazing to feel so confident that
Speaker 13: it doesn't matter what they're doing, they can go. When
Speaker 13: they walk out of the bedroom, they know they're a
Speaker 13: rock star and it's it's all good. So I think
Speaker 13: that's the joy when somebody gets online with me and said, Patsy,
Speaker 13: I got three compliments this week because I wore that
Speaker 13: teal top.
Speaker 14: I mean, I've never had that many compliments.
Speaker 13: Like that's joy when I can when I'm doing they
Speaker 13: don't need me anymore.
Speaker 14: When I've taught about how to do what they need
Speaker 14: to do.
Speaker 13: It's exciting to see women feel beautiful and confident, and
Speaker 13: I'm so tired of the world trying to take that
Speaker 13: from them. So I think that's the one thing that
Speaker 13: I can change and I can support other women to
Speaker 13: It's not that hard if you know what it is,
Speaker 13: you need to have done. So it's just exciting to
Speaker 13: be able to come alongside other coaches, other people.
Speaker 14: And I think that's what's why this is so.
Speaker 13: Amazing, deb is that we're doing this together, We're supporting
Speaker 13: each other, sharing each other.
Speaker 14: It's like, I've already.
Speaker 13: Thought of a couple of people that, you know, maybe
Speaker 13: would want to talk to one of these girls. So
Speaker 13: like it's like, that's the magic of women in entrepreneurship.
Speaker 13: Entrepreneurship is like, we're not afraid to work together. We
Speaker 13: love helping each other. We're not competing. We're here to
Speaker 13: uplift and change people's lives. That's that's my passion and
Speaker 13: I think that's what I see. And I know Pat
Speaker 13: is amazing at that, Like she's so focused on helping
Speaker 13: women and they.
Speaker 14: Get such great results. So like that's what's exciting about
Speaker 14: being an entrepreneur.
Speaker 4: Well, thank you so much for that.
Speaker 5: There's two words that stuck out for me, and one
Speaker 5: of them is collaboration.
Speaker 4: And I think that it's a word that people hear.
Speaker 5: A lot of, but yet it's it's fairly new in
Speaker 5: the world of business. It's fairly new, and people coming
Speaker 5: into entrepreneurship now we were just talking about, like, what
Speaker 5: is it that's driving people to entrepreneurship, right, And I
Speaker 5: think the art of collaboration is forefront when people start
Speaker 5: to become entrepreneurs now, where before it was if you
Speaker 5: were going to be an entrepreneur, it was kind of
Speaker 5: like either or you were going to be in a
Speaker 5: corporation with people and support and meetings and that kind
Speaker 5: of thing, or you were going to be a solopreneur, right,
Speaker 5: and solopreneurs go through different things.
Speaker 4: And then there was referrals. Do you remember everyone's like,
Speaker 4: I have a referral.
Speaker 5: Program, right, But that was like someone would refer to
Speaker 5: you and then you'd refer back to them, And it
Speaker 5: wasn't that there wasn't a sense of support.
Speaker 4: But I don't think there was a movement around it.
Speaker 4: I don't think there's all we have a referral movement.
Speaker 5: Now there's referral organizations, and I think a lot of
Speaker 5: us actually, if you're in direct sales, you're in a
Speaker 5: referral organization.
Speaker 4: But there wasn't a movement around.
Speaker 5: It where we're seeing companies, big corporations like Kathleen talk about,
Speaker 5: you're seeing big corporations coming together. I see it a
Speaker 5: lot in my son's fashion business. Big corporations, big sneaker companies,
Speaker 5: big fashion companies coming together and producing a product and
Speaker 5: taking that product collectively out to market, to expand and collaboration.
Speaker 5: We've taken it by its rain and it is running
Speaker 5: through all of our businesses. It is collaborateive. Why are
Speaker 5: we doing group podcasts because the power of multi, because
Speaker 5: the demand of multi.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh my people want to learn more?
Speaker 5: Well, okay, here we are right and like DESI teaching
Speaker 5: technology behind?
Speaker 4: How do you make your events go? How do you this?
Speaker 4: How do you orchestrate technology? For us?
Speaker 5: We teach media? How do you how do you get
Speaker 5: people to say yes to you? Those kind of things?
Speaker 5: And what are you wearing? So I think that there's
Speaker 5: a synergy and a movement that's happening around collaboration like
Speaker 5: we've never seen before, and people stepping.
Speaker 4: Into this world. It's an automatic right where before?
Speaker 5: I mean, I remember saying to my son, you should
Speaker 5: never have to sign a contract.
Speaker 4: Your handshake should be good enough.
Speaker 5: Now if that's not our chaeok, I don't know what
Speaker 5: is true principle and mission in our family? Right shake
Speaker 5: a hand you're in right, no matter if it was
Speaker 5: you know, taken out the garbage or whatever you're in,
Speaker 5: but that would be considered an old thought process where
Speaker 5: now but you know what I mean, that's that's a principle.
Speaker 5: But now they're coming in and it's just a given.
Speaker 5: It's just a given.
Speaker 4: So anyways, thank.
Speaker 5: You for that trigger off and talking about change agents
Speaker 5: and miss Kathy Old what your opinion. I mean, you
Speaker 5: really see it. You live in a world of statistics.
Speaker 5: You see what's going on with women and people don't know.
Speaker 5: What Kathy does is she's in major leadership roles United
Speaker 5: Nations and you really see the evolvement of women looking
Speaker 5: to become leaders.
Speaker 4: So what are you seeing? What's the draw?
Speaker 15: Well, in my work with the UN and several NGOs
Speaker 15: that I work with internationally, I have seen entrepreneurship in
Speaker 15: other countries and often for at least fifteen years now,
Speaker 15: often is because of need or barriers that women are facing.
Speaker 15: And I think, you know, for survival, they have to
Speaker 15: figure out how can they do something that brings in
Speaker 15: either food or money or housing for them in their situations.
Speaker 15: And I think that translates even to us now in
Speaker 15: that women as I said earlier, leadership roles are really
Speaker 15: hard to come by for women, and so they see
Speaker 15: these different barriers. The mommy you know, the mommy penalty
Speaker 15: if you're a mom and you have to leave the
Speaker 15: workforce for a little while. There's just all these things
Speaker 15: in the corporate world that caused them to take pause
Speaker 15: and say, what about me? What can I do? How
Speaker 15: can I really reach my potential? And I think, especially
Speaker 15: with entrepreneurship, some women are a little timid about taking
Speaker 15: that step because they don't feel like they have the skills,
Speaker 15: They don't feel like they have the knowledge. They don't
Speaker 15: they're concerned about can they make it? And as Kathleen said,
Speaker 15: those soft skills that women are really good at are
Speaker 15: leadership skills. Now the whole leadership paradigm has changed so drastically.
Speaker 15: It's not the old curmudgeon in the office screaming orders
Speaker 15: to everybody. It's the one that could network, It's the
Speaker 15: one that has compassion, it's the one that has the
Speaker 15: ability to build teams. And those are things we're good at.
Speaker 15: So I get so much joy when I work with
Speaker 15: women and see them succeed, to see them blossom, to
Speaker 15: see them realize that they are leaders. They just haven't
Speaker 15: defined it that way because our society is still catching
Speaker 15: up with defining that way. But once they realize their
Speaker 15: superpowers and their potential, and they can take off and
Speaker 15: they can make those decisions to be an entrepreneur, to
Speaker 15: to you know, strike out on their own and do
Speaker 15: something that they want to do that gives them. We've
Speaker 15: all talked about it. The flexibility, the income, the being
Speaker 15: your own boss, and you know, I think all those
Speaker 15: things are what make women want to be entrepreneurs. And
Speaker 15: I just as I said, I get as Kathleen said,
Speaker 15: my sunshine comes when I have helped a woman, you know,
Speaker 15: realize her potential. I have one woman I've worked with
Speaker 15: in Africa for so many years, and she is now
Speaker 15: considered a un expert in agriculture, in small farms that
Speaker 15: women totally run in control. So you know, I saw
Speaker 15: her when she's started very early, when she was just
Speaker 15: really trying to get a cooperative together to survive, and
Speaker 15: now she sits on you on panels and is called
Speaker 15: for meetings around the world. I just it gives me
Speaker 15: chills just to think about her success, because that's.
Speaker 4: What we need.
Speaker 15: Our movement needs more women entrepreneurs and more women leaders.
Speaker 4: Awesome, Wow, I feel inspired and elated and energize. I'm
Speaker 4: sure you do too, right.
Speaker 5: I mean, I know we're all smiling because we're on camera,
Speaker 5: but I can I can see our energy change. Look,
Speaker 5: we're going to be coming to wrapping this up, so
Speaker 5: you little ladies, we literally are a thirty second piece
Speaker 5: of advice here. So I am going to introduce you
Speaker 5: so people know and hear what you do and who
Speaker 5: you are, and they will be able to match that
Speaker 5: to our show notes and reach out and so I'm
Speaker 5: going to ask you that, and listeners and viewers do
Speaker 5: hang in here to the very end, because of course
Speaker 5: we've got news to share with you, and we love
Speaker 5: you and you love us, and that's how it goes.
Speaker 4: So, miss pat All the tracker.
Speaker 5: Who is a business coach for women in thirty seconds
Speaker 5: or less, what is your advice for someone who.
Speaker 4: Is who is an entrepreneur or wants to be Oh,
Speaker 4: we can't hear you, Han.
Speaker 6: Prioritize your self care to amplify your business.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 6: Miss Jennifer's care is not it's not a luxury, it's
Speaker 6: a necessity, all right.
Speaker 5: Sorry you took a gap there and yeah, that's fast
Speaker 5: enough for an entrepreeur to move.
Speaker 4: So, Miss Jennifer Vond Vision Strategist.
Speaker 7: My one piece of advice for anybody who wants to
Speaker 7: be an entrepreneur is number one, lean in and go
Speaker 7: for it. You do not have to have an either
Speaker 7: or life. You absolutely can step into living your end
Speaker 7: and get a mentor or a coach. I think one
Speaker 7: of the biggest mistakes that people make is that they
Speaker 7: don't have somebody who is paving the way, somebody that
Speaker 7: can see the obstacles, the opportunities. Having that somebody who
Speaker 7: can really collapse those decades in today's into weeks for them.
Speaker 8: So that would be my advice.
Speaker 5: Awesome, thank you and miss Desi Bowan Everything virtual for
Speaker 5: entrepreneurs and thirty seconds your piece of advice.
Speaker 9: I think the biggest piece of advice that I learned
Speaker 9: and that I want to pass on to you is
Speaker 9: stay yes and take a step. If you are being
Speaker 9: called to something, say yes and take a step. No
Speaker 9: matter how big that step is. You are being called
Speaker 9: to something great. You are here for a great reason,
Speaker 9: and that is the most prominent piece of advice that
Speaker 9: I can give you.
Speaker 4: I hear a little show up, stand up speaker. Thank
Speaker 4: you girlfriend.
Speaker 5: Okay, Jasper Lambert, I here Vada, doctor your thirty seconds
Speaker 5: of advice.
Speaker 10: Do you know? To me, the most important thing deb
Speaker 10: is to be true to oneself.
Speaker 4: Who are we? What is our essence? What have we.
Speaker 10: Always love since childhood, since the spark came. Be absolutely
Speaker 10: true to that. Come back to it time and time
Speaker 10: and time again, in the dark moments the bright moments.
Speaker 10: That way you can find what you love, be who
Speaker 10: you love to be, find a good mentor or team
Speaker 10: of mentors, build relationships, and come back to always being
Speaker 10: true to yourself.
Speaker 5: Fantastic Okay, miss Sue Coleman, and Miss Sue Coleman is
Speaker 5: everything networking and she is a powerful entrepreneur.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 11: My advice would be to come to every conversation thinking
Speaker 11: how can you help? It's not about you, and what
Speaker 11: can you get is how can you help? And also
Speaker 11: to listen twice as much as you speak. You were
Speaker 11: given two ears for a reason and one mouth, and
Speaker 11: your ears will never get you into trouble.
Speaker 4: Fantastic advice. Thank you, thank you, thank thank you. And
Speaker 4: Kathleen Carlson.
Speaker 12: Yeah, thank you. I guess the thing I learned, and
Speaker 12: that was coming from corporate and being an entrepreneur and
Speaker 12: having this big position. Someone said to me, you know what,
Speaker 12: You're not afraid to start, You're afraid to start small.
Speaker 12: So that was life changing for me because when you
Speaker 12: you know, coming out of a big position, you just
Speaker 12: think you're going to step right back into that and
Speaker 12: the world of entrepreneurship is completely different. It can be
Speaker 12: and you know there's a whole lot to be unraveled there.
Speaker 12: But you know, go back to that learning position, go
Speaker 12: back to that what do I really want? How do
Speaker 12: I get their ego aside? And who are the people
Speaker 12: that I can collaborate with, who can I bring in?
Speaker 12: How can I make this trip faster and still be
Speaker 12: willing to step back and be a learner?
Speaker 5: Wow ooop jump drops and Ms Patsy Saunders, who is
Speaker 5: and I'm sure you know by now and international Image
Speaker 5: Stylence coach.
Speaker 13: So I want to share with you an easy way
Speaker 13: to be able to be seen and heard on Zoom
Speaker 13: is to wear lashes, lips and medium solid colors.
Speaker 14: Online.
Speaker 13: People will look at you and not what you're wearing,
Speaker 13: and you will absolutely feel more confident.
Speaker 5: All right, great advice, and miss Catherine hold, if you
Speaker 5: could wrap us up and then we have a few
Speaker 5: beautiful things for you audience, that would be great.
Speaker 15: I would say that.
Speaker 4: It's work being an entrepreneur.
Speaker 15: Entrepreneur is work, but it's work you're passionate about. So
Speaker 15: as somebody else said, lean into it, but also as
Speaker 15: pass it, set boundaries. Self care is imperative because you
Speaker 15: are giving your energy, but also set boundaries because you know,
Speaker 15: I can find myself sometimes working at midnight and I go,
Speaker 15: I really shouldn't be doing this. I need to set
Speaker 15: my boundaries.
Speaker 4: Set boundaries. That's a good one. That's fantastic. Thank you.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. I am sure that people have grabbed
Speaker 4: paper and pen.
Speaker 5: At this point are writing everything down. These women have
Speaker 5: incredible gifts for you. Every single one has a gift
Speaker 5: for you, and we are going to be putting this
Speaker 5: out to the world. Please contact them all, please share.
Speaker 5: You're going to have all the contact information in the
Speaker 5: show notes. Of course, we have gifts for you, and
Speaker 5: I think you know that we are now doing group
Speaker 5: podcasts and for us, it's about supporting people to be
Speaker 5: seen because part of being a successful entrepreneurship is people
Speaker 5: hearing about you. And what I love is when Jasprie
Speaker 5: talked about how she got contacted this morning and she
Speaker 5: doesn't even know how yet that person heard about her,
Speaker 5: and that is the power of media. Media is the
Speaker 5: long game. Media is the long game. So we want
Speaker 5: to be part of your long game. So if you
Speaker 5: feel like you'd like to be in a solo.

Speaker 5: speak up, and show up and tell what's your passion,

Speaker 5: that available for you as well. And then because it
Speaker 5: is our gift to offer media, we feel very backstage,
Speaker 5: we're very comfortable. What our joy places is when someone's
Speaker 5: in the stage and we're behind the curtain, going, you go,
Speaker 5: you go, you go. And so we have a beautiful
Speaker 5: media class. And I know so much of our audience
Speaker 5: are people that are entrepreneurs and you have confusion around media.

Speaker 5: don't even know what your media sporia is. And so
Speaker 5: we have a beautiful, beautiful class. It is extensive and
Speaker 5: it is thorough, and we will take you through that.
Speaker 5: And we've never done this on air, but we are
Speaker 5: coming up to what my chief marketing officer team says,
Speaker 5: you know, the beginning of the final quarter where people
Speaker 5: are what you talked about, Kathleen, looking at their numbers
Speaker 5: and knowing they need to do some kind of shift.
Speaker 5: That's a class that's always been fifteen hundred dollars and
Speaker 5: absolutely worth double it.
Speaker 4: But as a gift for.
