In 2002, Minette launched a parenting magazine and it took off really fast. Minette could not get her arms around it – she was making large amounts of revenue but not profiting from it. The business was running like an expensive hobby.
Minette learned that it is imperative to look at the numbers. The more you look at the business numbers, the more you can pay yourself. It needs to be a goal.
Minette knew she was in the wrong business and living in the wrong place. Listen in as Minette shares how she found her BRAVE and decided to change direction in her professional and personal life.
For Minette, BRAVE means doing the right things. Not just courage but integrity; following the right path even when the path is hard. Minette took a leap and got rid of the what ifs. She knew it was the right thing to do and moved to California and started a new business.
Minette discovered the importance of putting a plan in place for your business, the significance of making decisions and taking actions that will shift you forward. It all starts with clarity. If you are not clear and don’t have a plan in place, nothing works. You need to have an end goal in mind. Here is where I am and here is where I want to be.
Lisa Rehurek left the corporate world to venture out on her own and start a business. Lisa did not have a business role model and was not sure what the future would be.
Lisa discovered her BRAVEST moments along the journey. She learned to maneuver through the emotions and the fear. Part of the journey is the navigation and Lisa discovered how to stay on course and come out on top.
Lisa also learned that being BRAVE means to just be who you are and you will attract the right people; the people who you want to work with will find you. You don’t need to pretend to be someone else - just be yourself. Follow your own yellow brick road.
Listen in and learn Lisa’s method to conquer the fear. Take note of the questions that Lisa developed:
1 – Where is the fear coming from? What story are you telling yourself?
2 – What is the worst that can happen?
3 – What is the best that can happen? Will you be satisfied if you don’t push through the fear?
By working through these questions, we can get a plan and take the steps forward to our SUCCESS.
Yvonne left the corporate world, was adopting a daughter and was wondering if she should go back to her full time job. Her BRAVE moment came when she decided not to go back and start her own business as a Virtual Assistant.
In the initial phase of launching her business, Yvonne stayed BRAVE and held onto the positive things, the end results. Sometimes you have to change the navigation and learn from your mistakes. Focus on the positive and the vision – to get through every fearful situation.
Yvonne was always the YES person; a true Yesaholic in her personal and professional life. Being a Yesaholic made her a workaholic.
Yvonne decided you cannot do everything and one of the BRAVEST things she did was hire a Virtual Assistant. Yvonne learned you can now be a Yesaholic instead of a workaholic.
Yvonne is a Virtual Assistant Matchmaker – make sure to listen in to hear about her valuable service to entrepreneurs.
Most small business entrepreneurs don’t know how to delegate tasks and monitor them. We don’t know how to do a thorough search to hire the right VA. What does this person really need to look like – there are more than just skills to look for. Yvonne created a model for finding the right VA based on the nitty gritty of what you need as a business owner. What you think should be delegated to a Virtual Assistant and what really should be are often two completely different things. As the Virtual Assistant Matchmaker, Yvonne helps you decipher the difference and find ways to get the biggest return on your Virtual Assistant investment.
To start with a new VA, you would only need to hire one for 5 hours a month. If you feel it is too much of an expensive, consider the following:
If you could just get an extra hour of week, what would that do for your business? Perhaps close a new deal? What are you going to do with the time to get the return? If you get a VA – it will let you focus on a money generating activity; imagine what will happen to your business. What would be the ROI?

If you don’t know who you are and what you stand for, you can’t help your clients. You have to go through the journey and find the answers to it. This is what Matthew Goldfarb of CorporateRenegade.com did when he set off soul searching for who he was and what he wanted out of life.
What did Matthew discover? You have to face the fear. It’s not about being fearless. It’s about having fear and doing it anyway. You need to acknowledge that you’re scared – it’s okay to be afraid. Then step through the fear by asking “What are the next steps to take to get some momentum so it starts to dissipate?”
Listen in as Matthew shares the life lessons he learned in his journey. You need to tell the truth – your truth; show who you are and stand brave. Stop dimming your life for the uncomfortableness of others. If you are not truthful with yourself, you are robbing it of the people who want you to show up. OWN IT and STEP FORWARD.
