1. What are three words that best describe your personal brand?
Romantic, passionate, super-creative
2. Tell us why you’re awesome in two sentences or less.
Because I see what’s special in every woman entrepreneur and how she can create a lucrative business using her unique brilliance. I so passionately believe in women entrepreneurs and kick their butts to charge what they’re worth, making it almost impossible for them to do anything but succeed!
3. What are your three biggest indulgences?
1) Horses – 5 of them, including highly trained Andalusian dressage horses, nice saddles and a lot of private riding lessons.
2) Private acupuncturist/chiropractor who comes to my house every week for a 2-hour session.
3) Fresh orchid plants throughout my house. They bloom for about a month, then I toss and replace them.
4. What is your biggest pet peeve?
Back-stabbing. It’s so mean, petty, small-hearted and dishonest.
5. If you could have dinner with anyone (living or not) who would it be and why?
Tony Robbins because his energy would be life-altering just by being with him and I love how he helps women honor their femininity and teaches us how to empower our guys. Also Cher because she is so smart, funny, sassy and bold. She’s been my role-model for a ballsy, feminine, successful woman since I was a kid.
6. Why is having a powerful personal brand important to you?
People can purchase a service or product anywhere but they’ll want to buy from you because they relate to, like or want to be you. Plus, creating a powerful personal brand is an awesome way to express your creativity. Every woman has a quality in her worth branding!
7. What is your #1 marketing tip for fellow female entrepreneurs?
Don’t hold back from being provocative, having a strong opinion and being a stand for something important. You want people to either love you or hate you because to be mediocre is to be ignored or forgotten, which can cost you your business.
The #1 Marketing Tip is a STRONG message. LOVE it!
