What do you attribute your success to?
Success is a series of decisions, persistent effort, and willingness to learn from each one. I try innovative approaches, but I also know my limits. I hired a tech person to revamp some videos, an SEO website tech, and a marketing guru. Since I do all aspects of my business myself, it's vital to maintain self-care practices and to say no to avoid overwhelm. I don't use the word failure. Every choice is a stepping stone. Sometimes we slip in the pond.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice is "Don't take it personally." Don't get insulted if you lose a client to another business. It's ok if I'm not your person. There's enough for everyone. And the right people will find me. And they do.
People aren't interested in who we are as much as how we can help them navigate a pain point.
My own advice for readers is if you wouldn't go to someone for advice, don't accept their criticism.
The anonymous likes mean nothing. But real referrals and testimonials are great to have. I've been blessed to receive great feedback on my google my business page, personal emails, and through the Alignable business groups.
My mom's advice was "Leave the place better than you found it." I want to leave this world satisfied that I did all I could to honor mom's words.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Be mindful of your posts, texts, and emails. Never post anything negative on social media. It will haunt you. Answer emails and call backs within a day or two.
Be respectful and kind, learn to listen and be open to all points of view.
Have high integrity in all matters.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
I'm challenged by my booking calendar and how fast new tech develops.
Currently, I am getting better at it, but I need to learn more about Canva, and how to link my podcast to leverage the most views.
Ai is the newest trend, but I don't trust it to be my assistant. I believe clients need the personal connection I provide and nothing less will do.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
I'm a lifelong learner. It's imperative, especially as we age, to learn a new skills. Each year, on my birthday, I I select something new to learn or to try. It keeps my brain young and brings me great joy. It's never too late to learn. I started my podcast two years ago to inspire listeners through my words, and the guests I ask on my show. My podcast frames topics in an approachable way, offering enlightened conversation and interesting guests in the new age and alternative healing field.
Most of my clients are referrals from other satisfied customers. When a client shares how I've helped them, or tells me they felt valued, or heard, or seen, that's golden.
My best achievement is knowing I've made a positive and lasting impact. According to my google my business page testimonials, and over a hundred on Alignable, they substantiate the worthiness of my services. No one is exempt from challenges, but I rely on faith and prayer. I''m an optimist by nature.I won't allow circumstances to dim my light or change me.
We are all unique.
Shine your light.
