Bonjour & Welcome! I’m so thrilled that you’re here. Well, this is where I attempt to convey who I am in an engaging, informative way BUT in as little copy as possible so we both don’t get distracted. *wink* I’m not sure about you, but it’s challenging to stay focused while in the midst of our busy-busy world… Believe me I’m with you — I know that as you’re reading this the emails are rolling in, you’re being pinged on IM, the phone is ringing, the kids are hungry, dog is barking, txt messages waiting, tweets-a-tweeting and more-right? I know what it’s like, and so I’m truly honored that you’re taking the time to “meet” me today, and most of all that you’re taking time for you; keeping your business and dreams top of mind.
In return, I’ll do my very best to keep this thorough yet FUN!! For the more “traditional” corporate resume-connect with me on LinkedIn below. PLUS – I welcome chatting directly to REALLY get to know You, Your Life-Business Vision(s) & Challenges, and of course to share more about myself as well. Let’s have a COMPLMENTARY 25-minute Discover Session, simply hit the link directly below, or via the ‘Connect with Us’ page. My mission is to ensure personal & authentic connections always, because relationships are what truly matter at the end of the day.
So “About Mandy:” I’m originally from Montreal, Canada ~ one of the most European & Chic cities in North America. I adored growing up in such an “avant-guard” culture that shaped who I am today. I’m fairly certain I was born living & thinking outside-the-box always pioneering, and with that entrepreneurial-spirit woven into my DNA.
Accordingly, I’ve been “designing businesses” all my life. Starting with the “Wonder-Woman” Lemonade Stand {which turned a profit!}, to my make-believe Clothing Store, “COOL Girls,” complete with sales systems, real cash register-money & a sales team [my friends] *wink*. Eventually, after graduating with my B.A. in English/Specialization in Mass Communications, from George Mason University in D.C., I moved onto “Grown-Up” business for real. I simply adore all things Mindset, Operations, Media & Team! A ‘Pioneering Entrepreneur,’ I’ve built two successful businesses in the past 10 years (and part of MY business has been to consult, co-create & build my clients’ thriving businesses as well). I learned from all my experiences what it takes to achieve success, and it’s not what you might think. First – it’s certainly NOT a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits all approach. Second -it’s not just desire alone, a great idea-skill and /or product, it’s not even a lot of money (although that certainly doesn’t hurt). 
Nope – it’s ALL about maintaining your positive-success mindset no matter what coupled with inspired vision and expert strategy. You also have to be willing to move beyond your comfort zone-pretty much daily – NEVER giving up no matter what!
I’m dedicated to your success and to designing that together!! This is SUPER Fun for me… I promise I’m NOT Exaggerating – I LOVE THIS STUFF!!
