Tell us a little bit about your business and how you got started as a business owner.
I've been studying about and practicing personal development since the mid-80's. I actually read my first personal transformation book at the age of 13. I started teaching and coaching informally in the late 90's. It was so obvious that my passion has been personal growth that close friends told me that I needed to coach and mentor this work in a structured way for fee. So I became a certified coach and began coaching others.

How did you learn about WBON and what do you like best about the group?
I must have been searching on MeetUp. I like the easy-going, non-competitive nature of the group. Everybody is there for mutual goals and I love meeting new people.

What's the best part of being your own boss?
I get to start and end my day when I want. What I do impacts others profoundly and I love it that it's all my creation.

What advice do you have for a woman starting her own business?
My advice is to be sure you're passionate about what you're doing. During the ups and downs of your business, the passion will keep your vision strong. Find a way to distinguish you in your market. It's called finding your niche. And if you're going to be doing Internet marketing, don't neglect doing market research to determine the viability of your niche business.

What do you like to do when you're not working?
I love learning so I attend a lot of seminars and workshops. It contributes to all that I teach and how I personally expand and evolve. It's funny, I guess some would think of that as work. But when you love what you do, none of it is work.
Otherwise, I'm a voracious reader and enjoy entertaining friends with gourmet cooking.
