About Debbie

I love to write, talk and share. As much as I choose to be a positive person, when I see a problem I can’t help but speak my mind. I am honest, direct, and I never beat around the bush. I also love to help others grow, prosper, and learn from my experiences and mistakes.

I Can Market Anything… But I No Longer Choose to.

After studying advertising and marketing in college and spending 13 years creating and implementing marketing campaigns for everything from new home communities and cars to newspapers and fitness associations, I decided I was done marketing products and services I wasn’t passionate about. I was also burned out from balancing a demanding career and a growing young family. So in 1998 I decided to start my own business. I also began speaking, writing, and teaching others. In the process I discovered my true passion. Now, instead of marketing houses or cars, I enjoy helping those who help and serve others—primarily coaches, consultants, and other service-based business professionals—design, brand, and market their businesses.

I’ve Started Businesses, Written Books, and Spoken Around the World.

Since 1998 I have created and run eight different businesses—some successful and some not so much (what can I say, it’s been a journey!). I’ve written and published three books (the last one was a lot harder than the first two!) and created three different blogs. I’ve traveled across the United States and to Canada and Australia to speak and I’ve developed, marketed, and sold information products, training programs and masterminds.

I’ve also taught more teleclasses than I can count and have been fortunate enough to be featured in magazines, websites, and blogs such as Entrepreneur, Forbes.com, CNBC.com, Inc.com, Home Business Magazine, Yahoo! Finance and the Yahoo! Small Business blog. I say this not to brag but rather to share that my career has been an ever-changing adventure providing wide and varied experience that I in turn use to help others.

On a Personal Note

When I’m not writing or running my business you’re likely to find me just plain running (I’m a former marathon runner and still enjoy running, just not so far!), doing P90X or Pilates in my home gym, reading, spending time with my husband, mothering my two college-age kids (yes, they still need a mom at ages 19 and 22!), playing with my dogs, or simply enjoying sunny SoCal.
