Not that long ago, I watched my life fall apart. I went from being a military wife of ten years with a promising career…to being totally broke and alone.

I had to borrow money to stay afloat, and began working side jobs on sites like Elance to pay the bills that were rolling in.

Here I was with a Master’s Degree in Business Marketing, competing for jobs that paid $3/hour just to make ends meet.

One day after reading a book, (that I now treasure – Psycho-Cybernetics) I realized clearly that my success or failure all came down to my mindset and beliefs.

I began to make changes in how I thought about my current situation.

After making a point to make and renew some business connections, I saw a real turning point.

I took a position with Living Social (LivingSocial.com) launching cities for the company by building relationships with small business owners. It was the perfect fit for me. I helped nearly 70 businesses set up their online presence and update their website copy so that they would see success from doing business with Living Social. It was then that I fell in love with the entrepreneurial spirit.

While with Living Social, I took a brief hiatus and worked on a national presidential campaign as the digital public relations and social media strategist. Doing so let me meet various business owners and people from all over America.

On this campaign I was allowed to be as inventive and creative as possible. Through a unique (never before used) strategy, we raised over $100 million in online micro-donations and built a fan base of close to 2 million people.

From there, I went on to work with the Disney Companies. I managed a team and was responsible for creating the marketing strategy and messaging for advertising, social media marketing, web pages, email marketing and content marketing. I also had the opportunity to train Walt Disney’s business partners on these new and cutting edge strategies.

Through the execution of these new ideas, I was able to grow the total number of engaged Disney followers by 34% in the first year, and doubled it the next year.

Today, I play by my own rules. I have built a business around my strengths that serves others.

As a creativity coach and business strategist, I use all I have learned, by working with hundreds of small businesses and giant corporations to create dynamic results for my clients. I love creating business systems and visibility strategies that produce tangible success (and revenue) for my clients!

My desire is to add extreme value to your world…more than you ever dreamed was possible.

I do that by giving you amazing tools you can use immediately to progress in your business and your life.

I’m part business strategist, part marketing maven and part mindset butt-kicker with a side of country-girl sweetness and swagger ::-)

The BEST part of playing by your own rules is that as the entrepreneur’s roller coaster ride subsides, extreme creativity takes center stage:

What feels uncomfortable and scary at first, becomes exhilarating and extremely motivating.

When you’re motivated to succeed and have the right plan of action, watch out! That’s when the ideas, clients and money start to flow!

I’m living proof that your business can bankroll your passions — and that it’s never too late to make your dreams real, whether you want to act, dance, write, rock out in a band, or completely rule your industry!
