For Entrepreneurs By Entrepreneurs w/ Eric Verdi

From Erin's Website www.Erin-Mac.com

It  was the end of the year 2010 when I came to the startling conclusion  that everything was about to change.  I was living in Hawaii, married  with a two-year-old daughter, my successful business of 10 years was  surviving the economic downturn,  I had amassed 5 homes as successful investment properties with a total  value in the multi-millions, drove a nice car, lived in a beautiful  home, in a great neighborhood, which was all about to come to an abrupt  end.  I suddenly found myself as a divorced, single mom of a two-year-old, living in one of the investment properties that  was under construction, starting over.  Sometimes when the bottom drops  out it is the push that you need to wake up and see that the life you  are living is not the one you want, that was the case for me.

In  2000 I had moved to Hawaii to start a new life and begin my journey of  business owner.  For those who have decided on this path you know that  you can learn an incredible amount

I  spent the next 8 years studying myself through self-improvement  seminars in search of happiness, purpose, fulfillment, abundance,  balance, stress management and meaningful relationships.  I attended  many seminars covering a variety of topics and later began working for  them in various capacities, finally as chief of staff... continued on Erin's website...

A recent review on her site said:

"Working with a Janine is like a breath of fresh air! She is polite, she is organized, and she is creative. I never need  worry whether something is done or not, once I ask her. This affords me  more time to create, instead of manage my life. I am grateful to have met someone as easy as she is to work with. What a blessing!"

From C3 Website: https://cclarkconsulting.com/

Marketing and sales best practices are extremely hard to stay on top of  as they are constantly changing. If you are in charge of marketing for a  small business, you know how hard it can be to stay on top of marketing  along with the many other hats you are wearing. Consulting can be a  great option for you if you are a great executor but not so great at  developing the strategy and keeping up on best practices, which are both  critical for success.

No matter where you are with your marketing or how big your marketing  department is, you can expect that we will meet you right where you are.  We’ll take the time to understand where your pain points are and where  we can be of the most service to you. We’ll provide you sound advice and  follow-up to make sure that you understand and are implementing what we  teach you so that you can get better results from your marketing.

And Caitlin's 'why' from her website:

We  went through five failed IUIs, 2 failed IVFs, 2 miscarriages, heard  heartbeats and lost heartbeats - but, we ended up getting our miracle,  our boy Wyatt.

But when  he was two months old, the unthinkable happened. We had to rush our  baby boy to the hospital for heart surgery. If we hadn’t gone into the  hospital when we did, he could’ve gone into heart failure. And after he  survived that, Wyatt developed blood clots from the procedure that  landed us right back in the hospital for other complications, one  eventually leading to eye surgery.

During  a portion of our multiple hospital stays, my husband had to leave us  and travel for work. That’s when I realized that I NEVER wanted to go  back to working a 9-5 desk job (or, let’s be real, a 9-9) EVER AGAIN.

I  wanted to have the flexibility to be there for my family if I needed to  be, for however long they needed me. I wanted to spend life doing only  what I loved to do. And most importantly, I wanted to spend as much time  with my precious son and husband as possible. Thankfully, Wyatt fully  recovered and is a healthy, happy little boy!

Through  that whole experience, I realized how much of a GIFT our lives really  are, and that if we’re healthy and alive, we have NO EXCUSE not to be  doing something great with our lives, NO EXCUSE not to be doing what we  love, and NO EXCUSE not to be changing people’s lives for the better!  And that’s what I hope to do by serving you.

Eric Verdi shares the Origin Story of 'For Entrepreneurs By Entrepreneurs'.

For Entrepreneurs By Entrepreneurs – Tactics and Trainings from The World’s Best Entrepreneurs

Do you have Story to tell?

Are you an Entrepreneur with a specialized skillset?

I believe that EACH successful Entrepreneur has ONE THING they do better than everyone else. We are looking for THOSE Entrepreneurs that stand out in their field. No, I’m not talking about each industry. I’m talking about a very specific tactic or strategy that YOU use that has helped you become a successful Entrepreneur. I want to share that tactic, your story with other Entrepreneurs to INSPIRE them to give them a blueprint. Because YOU are a SOMEONE. YOU are an EXPERT. Even if you don’t think you are, trust me, I KNOW you are and others will know too. To keep your knowledge to yourself is a disservice to all the blood, sweat, and years of hard work that made you a success.

I’ve found that successful Entrepreneurs are the most giving, the most passionate, the most willing-to-help people that I’ve ever met.

Maybe. Just Maybe your story, your specialized tactic or strategy will INSPIRE that person sitting behind a desk all day to take a risk, like you have, like I have. Maybe your strategy will get that struggling Entrepreneur over the hump. It could light that fire inside and give them the spark they’ve needed for success.
