Heidi Bee | Divorce Comeback Coach – Certified & Trauma Informed Life Coach, specializing in planning a life you look forward to after divorce.

The most important factor behind my success is relationships. In the divorce space, so much of what my clients are looking for is trust. The success comes for the people I serve and the business I run, by cultivating connection first. By serving & helping first. By adding value and having an genuine interest first. I never sell someone on my coaching, course & community. I INVITE them into a relationship. I invite them into an opportunity to be seen, heard & supported. I’ve learned over the years that it’s never about the money. My philosophy is IMPACT over INCOME. And when I place value on the relationship first, the income will follow. The success factor behind my success is not only the relationship I focus on first with potential clients, but also with others who share in my vision and mission. When I meet people at networking events & they love what I do, invested first in building a relationships with them. When trust is built created from that relationship, it opens up an authentic opportunity for collaboration, service, and referrals. I’m fascinated first by who the person “behind the business” is and the “why behind their try”. When you know WHY someone has created their business, why they show up to provide that product/service daily, and WHO they are at the core, that is when you feel most connected and wanted to share them with others.

Bob Peck | Painter and Muralist

I feel like storytelling plays a huge part in my success. I always say that people don’t want to just buy art, they want to buy a piece of you. They want to be able to talk about not only why they love the art, but why it’s important or relevant to them. Read more>>

Megan Layne | Wedding Planner, Photographer, & Videographer

By far the most important factor in my success thus far was the day I decided to start saying “No” to any business opportunity that didn’t align with my principles, even if meant not making that extra $ when I needed it. I realized that by politely moving on from opportunities that did not come from my ideal client I had so much more room in my schedule and mind for those that were. Read more>>

Giavonna Evans | Yoga and Spiritual Teacher

I would say that the most important factor behind my success is God. Specifically Christ. My brand is built on a spiritual foundation. It creates an illumination around my brand that makes me stand out from most. If I’m being honest, we don’t live in the world that considers the spirit over anything else. When in fact, the spirit is the engine that drives this force called life. Read more>>
