How can you show up as your authentic self on social media? What’s the best way to grow your audience? How can you discover the best pricing for your services?
In this episode, I welcome Sharon Beason to answer these questions and so much more. Sharon began her extensive career in the corporate world as an accounting professional and designated Certified Public Account. As she continued to progress in her profession, she decided to leave her very lucrative corporate career to become an entrepreneur.
In April 2006 she founded Brooklyn, New York’s first concierge company — All About Brooklyn Concierge. Between February 2006 and 2009, Sharon served as the Director of the Downtown Women’s Club – Brooklyn Chapter. In 2010, Sharon founded Brooklyn Exposed and in 2014 she re-branded the company into the Social Fix – a comprehensive events listing website.
Then in 2015, Sharon founded WOMENEUR™ in an effort to provide tools, resources, advice, events, motivation, and community to help propel the growth of female entrepreneurs. She Leads Africa — an online community that helps young African women achieve their professional dreams — selected WOMENEUR™ as one of ten Instagram accounts that “breathes life into your career.”
Sharon has been featured in major publications including The Daily News, The New York Times, Time Out New York, She Leads Africa, and Black Enterprise
In this episode, Sharon shares why she curses, how you can create freedom in a 9 to 5, and how to own your worthiness by setting the right price. Sharon is a whirlwind of energy, support, and tough love and brings it in this episode.
