She Did It Her Way

Imagine if you quit your job to start a luxury business based on want and confidence, the day of 9-11?

That was the predicament of today's guest, Donna Mondi, owner of Donna Mondi Interior Design. The odds were stacked against her and the growth of her business was slow and steady, but her immense drive and passion to be the best interior designer kept her going.

Have you ever been scorned by a business and felt that you could do it better? Are you scared that your business isn’t mainstream enough to thrive?

That never crossed Stephanie Grutz’s mind because she knew that what she was doing was necessary in order to better educate and treat people about their health. Stephanie is an integrative nurse practitioner who was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease when she was 21, after she traveled across the country training other practitioners in her role as a senior nurse practitioner. The stress of her job sent her into the hospital for seven days. After her ordeal, she felt as of Western medicine had failed her and wanted to help herself and others find ways to truly cure themselves and not temporarily mask their symptoms.

Do you remember when you were asked what you wanted to do when you grew up? The passionate way you answered? How you could envision yourself doing that profession so vividly?

Here we are! Can't believe we are on the 6th and final episode with Cordova! 

Are you wondering if you should start a business? Curious as to what the first 3 months in of launching a business looks like?

Hi friends! Amanda here for another solocast! Today I'm reflecting on February's goals, sharing March's focuses plus how to look at your to-do list to get the right things done and move your business forward. 

Woah. Where do I start? Anyone else feel like February flew by? Even though it was 2-3 days shorter than other months it felt like it was half the amount of days! Okay, maybe it was because I was out of town the last week of the month too.

Hi friends! Today is another solocast and I can't wait to share it! I'm currently writing this from Barcelona with a glass of red wine in hand right before heading to bed for another rewarding, intense day tomorrow. More about that later!

Do the haters got you down? Are you doubting whether you should have invested your time and energy into building your business? How do you keep a level head? Are you becoming your worst enemy?

Do you know how to generate clientele in an e-commerce business? Who is your clientele? Where are they located? How do you reach them? How do you know how to develop an invested and loyal customer base? Did you ever think of mentioning chocolate?

Do you have immediate access to your analytics? And once you get those numbers, what and how do you adapt?

Have you figured out what works best for your business operationally?

You've finally become the boss, but maybe you're facing  unanticipated challenges?

Well, you're not alone, and Cordova Pleasants, owner of Resolute Boutique and Lifestyle, understands as she progresses with her new business as well.

What do you do when you have a huge idea, but are clueless on the execution? How do you figure out how to segment your target market? Is there even a place for your dream in the marketplace?

Our guest today, Corielle Laaspere, had the same questions when starting her own marketplace, Lift Uplift. Corielle always had a fire inside of her fueled toward uplifting women. She never knew what to do with her fire, until  she heard a story of a 19 year old computer science entrepreneur, Afreen Rahman,  and a reflective walk with her dog. She decided to create an online network for women to come together and help each other prosper.
