Stories are one of the most powerful ways to learn because they allow us to understand at a deeper level. One of the most important things an business owner can do is help their clients win and so we wanted to create a space where the community can learn from each other’s experiences of how they’ve helped their clients succeed.

A woman named Sonia, who was the COO of a large nonprofit organization, reached out to me for help after feeling like she’d made a fool of herself during past presentations. She felt crippled with fear, defeated and traumatized, and avoided public speaking at all costs. When speaking one-on-one with anyone, Sonia was assured and well-spoken. But put her in front of a group of people, especially her organization’s board of directors, and she’d stumble and freeze. So when it came time to give her quarterly report to the board, she’d usually defer to the CEO. Read more>>

My client, an online women’s clothing store, has relied heavily on Facebook and Instagram advertising for revenue generation. However, they faced challenges with (1) working with ad agencies and full-time employees for this role and (2) scaling their business with paid ads profitably. Seeking a solution, they initially brought me (a freelancer) on board as a short-term hire as they continued evaluating their options. I ended up integrating seamlessly with their team. After a few months of working together, they were impressed by my flexibility and smooth collaboration, so they continued with my services. Read more>>

We have a person that was referred to us because she was frustrated with the current debt she had. She said a friend of hers gave her my contact and told her to reach out. After making sure she had an overview of who we are and what we do, we reviewed her financial position. We showed her if she continued the path, she was on with her debt, she would be in debt for the next 27 years. Her response was very emotional and said “that’s why I’m here. I don’t want to deal with this.” We then showed her a plan that shows if she were to follow the plan, she would be out of debt, using the same money, in 4yrs. Now the same emotions she showed from her current position was the same at this time, but she was smiling at this time. Read more>>

We have helped many people feel better in the comfort of their own homes through I.V. Hydration therapy. Most recently I have started to infuse a 43 year old woman who has struggled with chronic fatigue, endometriosis and very poor gut health. We had a long talk about her symptoms prior to starting I.V. infusions. I explained to her it may take several treatments to get her feeling better. We began a series of infusions. After only two treatments she was starting to feel significantly better. She was sleeping better, energy levels were up, her daily runs and workouts were easier and her overall general wellness was improved. Her daughter celebrated her graduation from high school over memorial day weekend. Several family member were in town. She had the energy, stamina and mental clarity to be fully present in such an important moment in her families life. She texted me and thanked me for everything. She shared with me she has not felt this good in years! Not only did we help get her feeling better both physically and emotionally, we gave her time back with her family! Read more>>

One of my main focuses while working in the beauty industry for over 17 years is client success stories. I work daily with individual clients to help each person on their skin journey. I focus on healing skin and helping clients reach their skin goals with any concerns they may have. In my practice I also focus on providing clients with an experience that is different from a typical spa experience. I incorporate various modalities based on skin needs while also providing a luxurious, relaxing, & calming space where you feel pampered. Having a client fully take a moment for themselves to rejuvenate while receiving a skin treatment that helps the health of their skin is the true success to my business. Read more>>

Occasionally third time is the charm… I met my clients at an open house last November ’22 and we started touring properties around the end of April. When my clients decided to submit an offer on a condo in Mission Valley in May, they liked they were out bid. The first time they put an offer on a condo in Scripps Ranch, they got their offer accepted under asking price which in this market is rare! However during the investigation period, there where issues uncovered with the HOA, so my clients decided to cancel escrow. The second time they really really liked this townhouse because it had that home feeling with high ceilings, attached garage, backyard, etc. they decided to submit an offer I was able to help them get their offer accepted out of 8 offers!

A customer by the name of Lathetta Havis came to us with her concerns about needing to lose weight. Customer tried many tricks and nothing became successful for her. We placed her on three natural products: Soursop tea, Burdock root tea, and sea moss gel beginning of November 2022. She were advised to eat and drink her natural products 7 days per week for maximum benefits. Here’s the customer testimony as of January 6, 2023 through March 2023. Read more>>

Ava Cyruli is a bodybuilder and avid fan of SWAKE cosmetics. Ava shared with me the story of her workout journey and how altering her mindset towards health and fitness changed her life for the better. Ava was a dancer for 17 years and even majored in it her freshman year of college. After transitioning away from dance, she started slowly developing eating disorder habits that led her to go to a treatment center to ultimately recover from an eating disorder. After coming out of that experience, Ava wanted to make a healthy change in her life, lose the extra body fat that I had put on, but in a holistic and sustainable way where it would cultivate into a lifestyle for herself and not just be a quick fix. Ava began lifting and really changing my habits and daily routine. Read more>>

We almost missed the best sales opportunity our business has ever had! We were only a couple years into our business (working part-time and holding down corporate full-time jobs) and had just had a very bad experience with an artist who signed an agreement to use our artwork for custom wall hangings. When it came time to pay, the artist squelched on the deal. We were discouraged from this experience and protective of our copywritten artwork. So we said “no” to a rep pitching us a potential licensing opportunity for a large grocery chain – three different times! We finally thought outside the box and said to our licensing contact, “If we agree to licensing our artwork so you can make products for the grocery chain, would you also introduce us to the regional buyers to pitch a ‘store within a store’ concept to sell our products, returning a commission to you?” Read more>>

“This wouldn’t exist without you,” is a sentence I hear often from my clients. I help them tell their stories. More specifically, I help them write their books and speeches. For many, what we write together is their first book or their first speech, and it launches their careers as authors and speakers. My most recent, and perhaps most notable book consulting client, is the writing/directing trio responsible for the comedy classic Airplane! I worked closely with David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker to bring to life their first book Surely You Can’t Be Serious, The True Story of Airplane! (St. Martin’s Press. Release date: Oct 3, 2023). Read more>>

May 16, 2021, in the midst of the pandemic-my business partner and I launched Blush Decor LLP. We we’re unsure what starting a decor business would look like but, we decided to take a chance and in no time we hit the pavement running. One of the first events was for a client that wanted to celebrate her mothers 70th Birthday. Though it was an outdoor event, the client had concerns due to covid numbers and made clear that she wanted her mom to feel safe, loved and celebrated. As new business owners we we’re unsure of pricing and of course we never wanted to be viewed as the “ newbies “ to overcharge but, we also knew that the work we produced would be worth the clients time and money.

Client success stories are my favorite. There are two types that I find most significant. The first is when a client becomes aware of an inner fear they didn’t realize they had in the first place, which allows us to work on it. The other is when a client embodies their worth through their actions, which takes time and practice. One of my clients in particular was struggling with feelings of not being enough when it comes to relationships. She had been out of a relationship for a couple years, but was still feeling residual feelings of not being good enough for someone new. Read more>>

My most heartwarming customer success story involves my former preschool student and her mother. This mother bought her daughter my first published book, The New Kid in Mounds. This book is about many important issues, but the main takeaways are nonconformity, anti-racism, making friends, and accepting differences. In this book, a little white goat with straight hair moves to a town where there are only curly-headed black sheep. They immediately begin to compare themselves to each other. My former student’s mother told me that she had been struggling at her new school to fit in. She was the only little girl in her class with short, curly blonde hair. Although there were other blondes in her class, none of them had curls like her. Everyone else had straight hair. Read more>>

I make short films and ads for companies. My style is more lifestyle and storytelling than straight corporate sales. In 2014, I started working on all the online, television, and cable content for Liftedtrucks.com. A good friend, my best friend, Mike Halland, is the Marketing Director there. He brought me on to help him with the task. Together we came up with the idea to sell these trucks by showing the end user how much fun it is to own one. Getting outdoors, pulling boats, camping, off-roading. So we made about 200+ commercials, to show how much fun it is to own a custom truck. No pushy sales pitches. Just gorgeous footage of trucks kicking butt in the wild. Read more>>

Earlier this year, I worked with a 40 year old lawyer from Milwaukee who wanted to rebuild his social skills. When he came to me, he said he wanted to have a vibrant social life where we could easily meet people from different backgrounds and social circles and be able to turn on his charm on command. After a few conversations, it was apparent that he really wanted to feel accepted. He felt like he didn’t fit in. Read more>>

I had a client who went through a very hostile and contentious divorce with his spouse. His spouse did just about everything to make his life and the divorce process expensive and difficult. It even rose to the level where his wife was turning their three children against Dad and using them a bargaining chips in the divorce process. Things got so bad that the children made false criminal allegations about Dad (who worked in law enforcement and could have risked him losing his career which he was a few years shy of retirement from).
