Entrepreneurial Thinking for Job (and Opportunity) Seekers

March 23, 2010 by Michelle Pippin

This past week, I had the opportunity to speak to two local job clubs about entrepreneurial thinking and how it applies to their job search. As I looked around the room, I thought back to the It Factor Job Club members that preceded the ones I was now leading through this discussion. I looked into

Using her always unconventional – yet surprisingly simple – strategies, we have uncovered hidden opportunities in a struggling economy. We have worked with a number of industry experts and she outshines them all.

“One of the many benefits I’ve received from working with you is aligning and re-aligning with authenticity in marketing. No hype, no BS? Neither work for me. Yet, that was all I could find as I struggled with learning about this end of business in this tech age. Suffice to say, I’m thrilled to be on my way to having my online presence match how I serve people. … Typically, this is not easy for folks like me who have great skills, but little marketing talent. Michelle, you are an inspiration and I’m glad to have you in my corner!”

Michelle’s WOW! Factor Retreat (held in the OBX) was the best investment I’ve ever made for my business. I would have gladly spent 5 times what it cost – it was that valuable to me! Michelle’s enthusiasm and bold thinking helped me to embrace an even bigger vision than I ever thought possible, and we mapped out a strategic plan to take my business to the next level and beyond. I’m looking forward to the continued coaching over the next six months and seeing just how far I can go in that time. If you want to make drastic changes in your business, Michelle is the one to help you do it!

Thanks to Michelle’s business strategies, my business has double the revenue from last year so far. Michelle is the kind of person that takes the time to know who you are and what your business is all about. I consider this is one of the reasons why she is such an effective business coach. She provided me with great tools that I was able to implement right away in my business. I have found that every interaction I have with her is pleasant and loaded with great, actionable ideas that I can apply to improve and grow my business every day.

After working with with my share of the high-profile online marketing coaches with disappointing results,I wanted and needed something really different.Quick story- I had a very bad month last Fall. The bottom dropped out very suddenly. I emailed Michelle who was available immediately to help me look at options that would create income faster than fast. She asked me “What is the boldest thing you can do today?”. I had a telephone call scheduled with a prospective client and I outlined a plan to raise my rates and ask for the fees up front, something I’d never done before. Having committed it during our emergency phone call, I followed through and that day I had secured a new client for $10,000. paid in full up front.Michelle has absolutely brought out the best in me, and in my business and has taught me to be more generous and more client-focused than I have ever been. And this has resulted in big increases in income, and doing business in ways that make me feel better than I’ve ever felt in my 25 years in private practice. What I love most about Michelle and what is so unusual about her, is her devotion to service and her heartfelt generosity. She is also smarter and quicker on her feet than anyone I’ve met and can come up with serious income-building ideas and improvements on a dime. I feel incredibly blessed to have Michelle Pippin in my life. I can honestly say I have found the most talented perfect coach and I’m not giving up my space anytime soon.

Michelle Pippin has truly changed my bottom line in record time. She’s doesn’t beat around the bush to tell you what you want to hear. Instead she tells you exactly what you need to do to take your business to the next level and produces results. Combine all that with her southern charm and witty stories and she’s unlike any other small business coach I’ve ever met!

In a world where there are so many people who are all about hype, all about “making the sale” and all about themselves, it’s extremely refreshing to work with someone who is exactly the opposite… and then some. Michelle worked with me at a very critical time in my business and masterfully led me down the correct path to dramatically increase my revenue. In just a short time, she was able to see all of my stumbling blocks, show them to me and help me understand why they weren’t working.She helped me to position my expertise differently and she helped me to think differently about myself, my clients and my prospects. By changing those key things, everything changed almost overnight. I got several new high-paying clients and made more in one month than I had the previous 6 months combined.Michelle took a great, personal interest in my success and she was in my corner all along, cheering me on, sending out suggestions and making sure I was focused and going where I needed to go. She is a true gift to any business owner who is struggling to take his or her expertise and turn it into profit. She is real. She is direct. She is strong and she will help you to succeed, no ifs, ands or buts. Thank you again Michelle for having such a deep and lasting and profound impact on my business and on my life.

Before I met Michelle I was struggling with two major things that would make or break my business – believing in my value and how to powerfully speak to the needs of my target market.

Hi Michelle. I wanted to take a moment out of my extremely busy schedule to thank you for your help in building my business success. As part of your first group coaching and MasterMind retreat and 6 months of ongoing coaching, I have received great support and ideas–not only from you, but from the other members of “The Sensational Six.”As you know from my recent reports, I just had my busiest and highest-grossing month EVER in the 2 1/2 years I have been in business full time for myself–nearly tripling my average monthly income and exceeding my “stretch” goal by almost $2,000. When I was “hearing crickets” with my business at the beginning of the year, you offered an in-person brainstorming session, which helped me focus my efforts better.Your insight and “out of the box” ideas were what I needed to get me out of a rut and give me new directions in which to move. Thank you again for all you have offered to bring my business to a better level. I am not only earning more income, but also serving more people in achieving THEIR results, which is what makes me do what I do and gives me joy every day. And now I’m coaching women business owners to create these same results while living healthy lives!

Since coaching with Michelle, my entire professional career and life has been completely transformed, Michelle’s out-of-the-box-thinking and provocative questions made me really evaluate who I was as a woman, wife, mother, friend and professional. I have become re- aquatinted with my-self, and my dreams, and unlocked the “present” of living today. My income has tripled, and I work less time and in my “own way” on my terms. I am living fully alive. Michelle has taken me from “wimpy to WOW”!Michelle’s programs are easy to use, easy to follow, and guaranteed to produce dramatic results. Hiring her is the closest you will come to being able to print money legally. Michelle truly is the Marketing Queen! Only inquire about her services if you are serious and ready to get WOW!

In 2008, my husband and I DOUBLED our income following Michelle’s super -simple guidance and out of the box suggestions. I joined the WOW! Factor Mastermind to at least DOUBLE again in 2009. This was my first time joining a “mastermind group” of any kind. I was both excited and nervous. But, the experience of the “mastermind group” was way beyond my wildest dreams, starting from the introductions on day one and ending with tearful yet hopeful departures. I left energized and excited about all I am going to accomplish as a result of learning the strategies shared combined with the weekly accountability of group reporting. Since that time, I have excitedly reported doubling my previous “highest grossing income” week ever, created additional income streams, and am now working on the realization of a life-long dream: Our own REPTILE ZOO.
