Doug: Welcome back listeners to another episode of Real Marketing, Real Fast. Today, I'm super excited to have Shawn Neff as my guest in the studio today. She is a success coach who will help you transform your business and she transforms CEOs that are capable of running profitable businesses and flourishing home life. We had a quick conversation before we got on the air and I think you're in for a real treat. Her unique program draws from her ability to make millions from her multiple streams of income and her multifaceted career experience in health, entrepreneurship, and motherhood. Her incredible professional journey began at 19 when she became the youngest female paramedic search and rescue specialist in northern Michigan. I'm sure we'll have her share a little bit more of that as we get into the show, so welcome to the Real Marketing, Real Fast podcast.
Shawn Neff: Thank you, Doug, I'm so excited to be here.
Doug: Where should we start with your introduction? Do you want to cover off any of your beginning career and how you started in the paramedic business and that transformed or worked you into consulting and the work that you do right now?
Shawn Neff: Of course. I think people are always like, "You were a paramedic," because you look at me now and I really don't look like a paramedic anymore. That's been part of my transformation both personally and professionally. I graduated from high school and was concurrently dual enrolled in college and really fell in love with paramedicine and emergency medical services. Essentially went ... being an EMT at 17 and then 18 graduated as a paramedic. A paramedic is a person who shows up in your life is essentially the worst day of your life, usually. I would walk into a scene and within five seconds I'd have to really assess what was happening and create an optimized strategy and develop the logistics to make that happen within 30 seconds. It was a very fast-thinking, very fast-paced, innovative career. That was the thing that I loved the most about that, was what I would say, developing innovative solutions to seemingly impossible problems.
Doug: It sounds like you've taken that and moved into the business world because [inaudible 00:02:37] I show up on the worst day of your life, I'm thinking, "Well, yes, the paramedic, that could be the worst life of your personal, physical life," but there are lots of people where there are worst days in their business life when they've had a disaster. I'm sure those skills come in handy, especially if you do it in 30 seconds.
Shawn Neff: Literally I do. I would be able to, one of my amazing talents is I am highly intuitive and I can see what you would see in, say, in five dimensions, which made me a really great paramedic. I could see within each scenario, I could play it through and say, "Okay, this would be the outcome of this situation," and then choose the one that would be the most advantageous and the easiest. There was always plan A, plan B and then plan C. There was the dynamic, things are fluid, so yeah.
