Describe your business:
Inspired Leo Goddess is an inspirational community. It is about sharing personal and business stories of inspiration. Inspired Leo Goddess also offers businesses of all kinds to register in the business directory for free with up to four photos and post events on the events calendar. While based in London, businesses all over are welcome to join in! I want to increase networking and sharing among business owners. My forum provides a safe, supportive environment for participants to share sources of inspiration and both conventional and non-conventional tools to achieve their success.
Look for more aspects to come as Inspired Leo Goddess branches out over the next year!
Where does your inspiration for this business come from?
In March, I attended the Mompreneurs 1st Annual Conference in Toronto and the day was life changing in so many ways! I met my life coach and friend, Patricia Tomasi of Kick Ass Dreams there which has been such a blessing. I wanted a way to give the amazing high from hearing inspirational stories on a regular basis to an audience to help keep us all inspired and empowered in our business and personal lives!
I have always wanted to create a place for networking as I have learned over the years that a lot of people are hesitant to network and sometimes just are not sure how. I am a connector; I like to connect people who have a need with people who can provide what they need to them. Inspired Leo Goddess is a way to do this on a broader spectrum!
What has been your greatest achievement thus far?
I can't make the announcements officially yet but I have had some people who have inspired me enthusiastically agree to be featured on my site. It is amazing to feature and share the stories of people who have made a huge impact on me and thank them years later for the work they do.
Also, I am so humbled by the amazing response I have had from those who have been reading the articles and my blog. Thank you, that is what I am doing this for; I want everyone to feel inspired and achieve their greatest potential.
What’s your advice for someone who is just starting out?
My advice is to focus on your dream, what does it look like? What do you want to accomplish? From there, look to people who are successful at what you want to do or a similar venture. If you can, I highly recommend a life coach; it's like having a cheerleader in your back pocket that will also hold you to your vision. You need to be accountable to someone because otherwise it is too easy to let your goals slide.
Most importantly BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! You have a fabulous idea, run with it and see how far you can take it. You most likely will surprise yourself by exceeding your expectations.
