| I was not always an entrepreneur, in fact up until | | | | with that adventure, but wasn't sure what else I |
| 7 years ago my only resume included 20 years | | | | could do. When I started coaching my very first |
| of real estate sales. Yes you may say that can | | | | call it clicked, this is what I want to do, what a |
| be considered an entrepreneur because as a | | | | great job! Within in 6 months I was a coach with |
| Realtor you are self-employed. My definition of an | | | | one of the top firms in the country! |
| entrepreneur is someone that is always seeking, | | | | That was the start of my entrepreneurship! I met |
| open to opportunities and knows which ones to | | | | so many incredible people and started surrounding |
| choose to make a real profit. Most entrepreneurs | | | | myself with people doing more than me (just like |
| are risk takers and with that comes failure, or as | | | | my coach told me) and it was like Pandora box |
| I like to say, just another way that doesn't work | | | | opened up for me. Soon I found myself selling real |
| and move on. | | | | estate, coaching 40 agents all over the US, |
| Honestly I never knew business coaching, personal | | | | investing in condo towers in Costa Rica, and |
| development coaching or entrepreneurial coaching | | | | speaking and training all over Southern California. |
| even existed until 2004. Before I got a coach I | | | | All this with being a newly single mom with 2 little |
| was doing a lot of things the hard way. Sure I | | | | kids. |
| was successful but it took me a lot longer to get | | | | I would have never been able to do any of this |
| there than it should have. I hired my first business | | | | or even think of the possibility of doing something |
| development coach in 2004. I was selling real | | | | like that without the help of my personal |
| estate in Los Angeles and had just moved back | | | | development coach. I have used the principles and |
| from Colorado Springs where I had a very | | | | teaching of my coach and have been paying it |
| successful career selling 38-42 homes a year | | | | forward with my own style for the past 6 years. |
| working only 6 hours days 5 days a week. Life | | | | I have personally coached hundreds of Realtors, |
| was good, but I was homesick and thought I | | | | and now since opening up my own firm in Sept |
| could easily duplicate what I did in Colorado here in | | | | 2009, am now coaching life coaches, |
| LA. Boy was I wrong! I had left a huge database | | | | entrepreneurs, network marketers, and of course |
| and now was starting from scratch, dumb idea | | | | real estate agents. |
| for sure. My business coach starting asking me | | | | If you really want to step it up both personally |
| questions that honestly I had never even thought | | | | and professionally and stop worrying about when |
| of; like where do you see yourself in 5 years? | | | | the next time you are going to get paid, if you |
| Well I tell you it really wasn't selling real estate. I | | | | are going to get paid, and start living your dream |
| had been selling for 20 years and was really done | | | | business and life. |
