Being the founder and sole owner of my global E-commerce Fashion company GLAMBAE Fashion, I have many hats to wear and like to be proactively involved in all aspects of my business from the design process, to marketing, creating collections, graphics and my most important and favorite role - being the Creative Director of my brand.

I do delegate the ongoing everyday tasks and projects to my team members , but I always make myself available to ensure I can answer any questions and offer guidance when needed. This is especially important when building a long-standing and solid team. Teamwork is the fundamental key aspect of the business, and it is crucial to make sure all members are independent yet feel I am right along beside them to make sure things are running smoothly.

I am incredibly proud to have an all woman owned and run company that truly embodies the belief of women supporting women. Our company culture is to create an inspiring, meaningful and positive woking environment for our staff and to empower women to be confident , powerful and sexy in our clothing.

Email: Phenix@embodiedenergy.me

Tell us about yourself?

I am a shamanic business coach who specializes in helping shamanic, spiritual and healer types thrive in the world of matter. I have studied esoteric and subtle energy arts for the last decade.

I was quite spiritually gifted when I began my business but I had no idea how to run a business or share my gifts with the world. As a result, I began to learn about business fundamentals and have built a successful spiritual business that I call Embodied Energy.

It's a reminder to allow spirit to fully come to earth and to be in our bodies so that we may experience life more deeply.

I have taught tantra and energy healing around the world and look forward to helping anchor in the new earth and be a guide for others as they merge 5d reality with 3d practicality.

I love to include magic and quantum shifts in my business model and I currently teach a formula for business success that I call The M.A.G.I.C. Way of doing business.

I believe frequency work with aligned action is a recipe for success. I love sharing about conscious business principles and will have a focus this year on Evolve Earth which is the earth warrior aspect of my business that gives back to humanitarian and eco-organizations around the world.

Evolve Earth is currently partnered with projects working to end child sex trafficking, protect and clean the oceans, as well as planting trees to counter deforestation.

Tell us about yourself?

Hi, I’m Rhiannon and I specialize in people.

Kindness is my philosophy. Energy, Spirituality, Quantum physics, sub-conscious mind practices, human behavior, and observation against a thorough business plan – this is my ideology. Although I have been described as a Human Behaviour Expert, Executive and Elite Performance Coach, self-development expert, and Entrepreneur, I actually like to think of myself as a detective.

My passion is understanding what makes YOU tick. Even when you don’t fully understand this yourself. Do you have the courage to change once you know how and why you tick? Are you unhappy with your wealth? your life? your relationships? Your work? Have you ever asked yourself how you have created these situations? Do you realize that you are choosing a life that mirrors your self-limiting beliefs?

Your self-worth? The beliefs that you have?

We are all far more powerful than we can ever imagine and yet, we are not always aware of the limited life we lead because of our self-limiting beliefs. My coaching is based on 30 years of study and practice in human behavior. I have pioneered a coaching approach that is cutting edge and not based on linear thinking,

It is based on the principles and practices of the Subconscious mind and quantum physics.

When you play in an unlimited arena, your life and your results will also be unlimited. Where do you want to play?

“Excuses are the monuments to nothing, they build bridges to nowhere and people who use these tools of incompetence are the Masters of nothing,” or at least that’s what my father always told me.

As founder and CEO of Victory Is Us it is a sentiment echoed throughout my life and my leadership development company. Like my father, after serving in the Navy as an Aviation Electronics Technician, I also had a passion that led me to a Bachelor’s in Psychology. I have always been fascinated with understanding the inner world, the power of thought, and the most effective ways to harness them to achieve success in anything literally has become an obsession. Becoming a Certified Green and Blackbelt Project Manager gave me, even more, knowledge and tools to develop processes that operate with a success rate of 99.997%, according to DPU (Defects Per Unit) calculations. I wake up every day in love with what I do, and I enjoy watching clients’ eyes light up with inspiration and determination.

Tell us about yourself?

I’m Brooke Allison, your Certified Multiple Six Figure Mind Shift Coach and Achievement Strategist. I help ambitious entrepreneurs scale to 6 figures and consistent $10-30k+ cash months by creating a business and a mindset that is Fiercely Unstoppable®! Being master certified in 5 different fields including NLP, EFT, hypnosis, and more, I work with men and women to rewire their brains and master their personal psychology so they can release anything holding them back subconsciously.

I have always followed my passions and big dreams despite the challenges and the obstacles that have been thrown my way. After graduating college I was presented with an opportunity that led me to start my first business at the age of 22. It wasn’t long after starting my first business, that this passion became an even deeper mission to empower entrepreneurs to step into their most powerful selves and live out their soul desires with a business and a life they are obsessed with. I wanted to enhance the success and reduce the financial stress that entrepreneurs or want to be entrepreneurs might be facing. I started this business in July of 2017 and quickly became an internationally-known success story along with being a highly sought-after Motivator and Business Mentor to individuals ready for big leaps in their business.

Now that sounds like a fluffy-easy-going journey, however, I mentioned obstacles for a reason. I believe that the obstacles you go through don’t define you, they are lessons learned and growth opportunities for you to create whom you want to be. In 2015 after moving across the country, I found the courage to leave my abusive relationship, rebuilt my confidence from feeling completely worthless, and started this business while on food assistance and barely bringing in enough income to pay my bills. Anything is possible! I went from making $8k in a year to multiple 6 figures in record-breaking time!

I am a highly experienced former Executive Assistant who is a supporter of the administrative profession, celebrating and championing change by encouraging assistants and office support professionals to be heard as one voice.

In 2018, I woke up having seen The PA Way in my dream. At the time during my career, there was nothing for me that I felt leveled me up both personally and professionally, so I created it! All I had was WI-FI and a dream.

Having created and launched the award-winning and global assistant lifestyle platform, The PA Way, my mission is to ensure that assistants and office support professionals are valued, rewarded, and celebrated as the amazing talent they are! The PA Way does this via our signature “Loyal Royal” online global membership which hosts monthly events, professional learning, development, and being a part of “The PA Way Squad” which is our online community.

Our members are called “Loyal Royals” who currently have created friendships all across the world and support each other- it truly is an amazing place to hang out!

Whilst The PA Way has a global reach, we currently have Loyal Royal members in twelve countries and fourteen USA states, which is so exciting to see given we only opened international membership in 2020!

I have also created and launched the first bespoke in-house membership app for the profession where assistants and office support professionals can connect globally through our “Squad Chat” real-time feature, access on-demand learning, view resources in their personal vault and so much more!

Tell us about yourself?

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be the founder of a luxury candle business! I have a lot to thank this business for, it is my motivation to keep going and to give a little bit of French luxury into people's lives. It was August 2018 and I moved to Switzerland to be with my Husband.

This was not the plan, the plan was for my husband to come to Australia but the visa process was easier for me to relocate to Switzerland. After accepting this new situation I had newfound dreams of getting a job in Financial Services in Zurich and continuing my career, expanding my network and diversifying my skillset, and bringing this back to Australia one day. Life had different plans and the job that I had in mind was just not meant to be. After months of applying for jobs and getting nowhere I just could not continue, this was really not good for my mindset. We would go to the Champagne region for long weekends (this was always a dream of mine) and the Alsace wine region is on our doorstep. Beautiful wine and luxury candles are two of my obsessions so I thought why not combine the two and create something special and unique! Luxury Sparkle was born.

Tell us about yourself?

Everything I learned about business, I learned from working since I was old enough to have a job, hustling throughout college (I balanced school and work with cheerleading for the NFL), and rising up the ranks in a Fortune 500 company.. Nothing about my past pointed to the fact that I’d be a successful entreprene0ur one day. Growing up, my parents didn’t have a ton of money.

I cleaned my dance studio in exchange for lessons, I was on the free lunch program and my mom was raising 5 kids while my dad worked for a nonprofit. I started my first entry-level job out of college and worked my way up the corporate ladder, from entry-level salary to the youngest senior VP in the company in just 8 years. When I realized I wasn’t fulfilling my highest potential and that I had a knack for helping others, I decided I wanted to do it on an even bigger scale. So, I started my business on the side. I got coaching, I learned everything I could about business growth, and worked before and after work, during my lunch break, and on weekends until I was able to replace my salary with money to invest leftover. That’s when I decided to go full-time in helping others simplify their path to financial and lifestyle freedom through entrepreneurship - just like I had done for myself. Since then, we have grown to multiple 8-figures and are working toward the $100 million marks and the journey has been incredible so far.

Tell us about yourself?

I was living alone and making my own way by age 17. I was always a leader and rarely a follower. I have always said that I was born to prove a point and that my voice would be heard. I know that it seems a little cliché of “I am woman hear me roar,” but I have really lived my life that way.

I always knew I would be in the hair industry and as the negative comments and snide remarks were thrown my way, it only increased my drive. So, then it became my mission to not only survive in the beauty industry, but I would thrive.

During my journey to thriving, I discovered my love for educating other stylists. So, then I had a new mission. I wanted to teach stylists the new trends, force them to see their value to this industry and provide them with the tools and knowledge to set them up for success.

I started Codewithsharen after realizing that my community and our schools were so far behind in STEM Education.

Codewithsharen is a black women-owned company run by our technical founder Sharen Eddings. Sharen is a self-taught coder who, after eight months of teaching herself how to code, landed a job at an automotive software engineering company.

After volunteering in her son's school to teach him and his classmates how to code. Sharen realized there was a strong need for a better STEM E-Learning software and that she could develop it. It took her a couple of years after learning more programming languages; she achieved her goal. "When I realized urban students were learning how to play online coding games disguised as coding lessons.

I knew that I had to do something. My biggest regret was that I wasn't offered this type of education when I was in school. I knew we had something of great value when we landed a major vendor agreement with the Michigan Department of Economics and Labor. But unfortunately, Coronavirus shut down schools, and our contract was on hold. We had to pivot to another target market to stay in business and keep the doors open.

We found that parents were frustrated with their kid's excessive video gaming, so we knew that this was a target market that we could help.

I was born in Albania, a very small country in Europe.I immigrated to Italy in 1997, as in Albania there was a civil war at the time. I was only 16 years old and my parents were very scared and they decided that it would be better for us to move there. The journey was not easy, I was working and going to school at the same time. After finishing high school, I decided to go to dental school. It was my dream since I was a little girl to be a dentist. Dentistry was something that had always fascinated me. This does not mean that I wasn’t terrified to go to the dentist! Sure, I was, but I also found it very interesting. I used to say that when I become a dentist, I will help all the people who are scared like me, to look forward to their dental appointments. Now I see kids looking forward to their dental appointments, and adults as well.

In 2002, I met my husband and we decided to immigrate to Canada. It was only two young people with big dreams and not much else. We had very little information, but when you are young you don’t think too much. When we came to Canada, things were not as easy as we thought. I didn’t speak English and my school meant nothing here, so I had to start everything from scratch. It was quite difficult to say the least, but I was very determined to do something with my life and this was my chance. After many years of school and getting my license, I founded DentalX in 2013. Initially, DentalX started with only me, booking appointments in my car and seeing patients in the late afternoons or Sundays after I worked all day for other dental offices. Then, my next three offices I shared with other dental professionals until I was able to open my own office in 2016. Now I have an award-winning dental clinic in Toronto and I am in the process of opening my second location.

Tell us about yourself?

I was born and raised in a small town in Michigan. My father passed away in a car accident when I was 10 and my mother worked a lot, so at a young age, I learned to be independent. I got my first job at 15 and moved out on my own at 17.

During my first year of college, my mother prompted me to get my real estate license. After a very successful first few months, I decided to drop out of school and put 100% of myself into the business. Those first few years were a challenge, I was very successful but felt that my age was holding me back in so many ways. Shortly after I got married and moved to Pittsburgh. I took over a decade away from the business to be a mom. Having 3 children within 4 years' time. It was rough with no family, no career, and no friends.

Those were great times but also very challenging. I found myself in a very unhealthy and abusive relationship for far too long. My kids are my world but inside my soul I was screaming. The relationship got worse over time and too much for me to endure. We relocated as a family to Naples, FL August of 2016. I always had dreamed of living here and I had family in Naples.

During that first year, I obtained my FL real estate license and had plans to leave the marriage. One year later I found the courage to leave, during that same month I was diagnosed with stage one carcinoma, just starting my real estate business and going through a divorce within a 30-day time period. I had no money, 3 children to support on my own, and fighting cancer. I look back and wonder how I did it with no help, but I had no choice, I refuse to be a victim. I did everything I could and found ways to market with little money. Making cold calls, knocking on doors, sending handwritten letters, and getting out any chance I could to meet people in a new town. I remember taking the kids to bed and getting back on my computer at night until I couldn’t keep my eyes open. Putting my kids first and making sure I made the time for homework, soccer practice, and school events. I would wake up at 5 am while the kids were sleeping to go work out and be home to get them ready for school. Feeling good about yourself is a key to your professional success in my opinion. In just the past 3.5 years I have gone from having nothing to closing out 2020 with almost 20M in sales and projected to do close to 40M this year.

Launching my new business ‘Bulldog Homewatch’ in 2021 to complement my real estate business and to provide additional services for my clients. With an upcoming construction and design business launching in 2022. I’m down-to-earth, honest, and never pretend to be someone that I am not. I will never forget where I came from but without a doubt will never lose sight of where I’m headed.

Tell us about yourself?

Immigrated to the USA at age 17. I came to this country broke, didn’t speak any English, had no education, and became homeless while chasing the American dream. These life events made me a stronger Latina woman, a solid strategist, and a focused executor. I grew up around my father towing/fixing cars, and I always wondered; why can’t more females not be a part of the auto industry? It felt like it was off-limits! Therefore, since my arrival to the USA, I have been on a mission to open the door for other females who want to be trailblazers in male-dominated industries. I am proud to be a co-founder of Windshields R Us, an auto glass technology shop.

Windshields R Us’ vision is to be known as a trusted auto glass organization within our regional markets. Our mission is the safety of our customers and our goal is to deliver the best quality of service at an affordable price without compromising safety while ensuring the customers’ experience is unlike any other.

Building the right team is at the core of our business. Essentially, our glass technicians are an extension of our brand, so growing their capabilities are non-negotiable.

Understanding the consumer is key to our success. I spend many hours studying and analyzing consumers’ behavior while designing our services. In a highly competitive market establishing affordable yet profitable prices are crucial to remaining a preferred auto glass shop; therefore, managing cost without compromising safety protocols is part of the equation of success.

Lastly, I embrace change in technology and never fear the competition.

Hi, I’m Sarrah Rose,

And I help high-achieving women and men get turned on and lit up from within.

I’m a Certified Tantric Sex, Love, and Relationship Coach. I have over 19 years of experience with yoga, tantra, breathwork, and other holistic and spiritual practices.

I’ve traveled the world to be trained by top experts and studied over a hundred modern and ancient texts to bring my clients the best approach to the sacred rituals of tantra.

But life hasn’t always been this way… I used to be timid, insecure, and sexually repressed. Growing up in a strict religious community, sex was a taboo topic. It took me years to free myself from this conditioning.

I stayed in an unhealthy relationship for over a decade because I had been brainwashed into thinking that divorce was not an option and staying married was more important than my health and happiness.

I felt so ashamed about being in a toxic relationship that I didn’t dare to speak to anyone about it. I pretended that everything was ok.

I’ve chosen to use the hardship to make me even stronger, wiser, and more compassionate. What I’ve been through allows me to lead people along their own complicated journeys of sexual healing and empowerment.

Guiding people to align their sexuality to power, creation, and bliss is my life’s passion. Now I’m here to share all of this knowledge with you.

Empowering people to break through to their highest levels of ecstatic pleasure is my ultimate joy in life.

Tell us about yourself?

I am originally from Caracas, Venezuela moved to the US at the age of 19.

Moving to the US, definitely shaped my character.

After years 4 years of working 2-3 jobs 7 days a week, I decided that I needed a change, I wanted to do more with my life. I wanted a career but I couldn’t afford going college. In 2004, a year of trying to figure out what to do, a friend suggested attending real estate school. So I did.

Finally, after failing the real estate state exam 5 times, I passed and got a real estate license. I’ve always strived to be the best that I can be at whatever I do, and it was no different with real estate.

Like many entrepreneurs, I spent time, energy, and money on things that didn’t work but I always kept moving forward. I started marketing in Venezuela in 2007, and things started to change for me. In 2008 the US real estate market crashed, which opened a lot of possibilities for me with the international market. I opened Metropolitan Real Estate solutions in 2009, right in the middle of one of the largest market crises in US history.

About 2 years in with my brokerage an idea that could take my company to the next level was presented, It was scary and a huge financial risk. I told my self well it is meant to be that become homeless, then let it be, I know I would be able to get up again! A few days later I decided to move forward with it.

It was about advertising my business in all of Latin America on TV, on channels such as Biography, CNN, ESPN, and history Channel. That’s was one of the best decisions I ever made and Thankfully that took my business to the next level.

Today I have a successful career in real estate, a name that I’m proud of and I own a successful real estate brokerage for more than 11 years. Metropolitan Real Estate Solutions is my baby! a real estate brokerage specializing in international clients.

We worked with clients from Venezuela, Mexico, Qatar, UAE, Colombia. Argentina. Brazil, Ecuador, Uruguay, Guatemala, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, United States, and Saudi Arabia. I continue growing my business but most importantly, I help others grow and achieve success. Money is no longer my motivator, it hasn’t been for long time, when I commit to excellence , growth and service; success inevitably comes
