“Empowering and mentoring women to greater personal and professional success.”
Many of you know me, especially if you’ve read or listened my book How To Give Yourself The Power To Succeed, but for those of you don’t, here’s a little background.
I’ve been a business owner for 20+ years as a speaker, writer, mentor and for 12 years as a leader in a large network marketing company. I love being my own boss but I realized that being in business for myself wasn’t like having a 9-5 job. No one was telling me when to work, giving me a specific task to complete or even showing me how to work day-to-day growing my business. It was pretty much hit or miss for a few years. I also found myself stressed and at times, discouraged about not succeeding the way I knew I should or could and not truly understanding what was holding me back.
About five years into my career the proverbial light bulb went on – it turned out that I was my biggest stumbling block.
These last 15 years I’ve worked with women entrepreneurs who want to successfully own their own businesses. I found that they too could be their own biggest stumbling block. I saw certain patterns emerge in myself and other small business owners – some patterns were positive and some, quite frankly, were self-sabotaging. Most of these patterns, I realized were unconscious – they were almost ingrained from childhood and had become part of our daily habits, expectations and lifestyle.
For years I studied, wrote, held workshops and seminars and also attended seminars and workshops. I began learning more and more about the internal beliefs that we women have about success, especially our own successes. As I began to conquer my own internal stumbling blocks, things began to change for the better. I began having more fun achieving my goals. I’ve turned all my learning and teaching into what I do today – it is my passion!
Today, my business is dedicated to empowering and coaching women to greater personal and professional success. My specialty: Working with women looking to start their own business or who want to grow their current businesses to the next success level.
I am a contributing author, blogger and podcaster for WomensMedia.com – a professional website known for providing “Expert Advice for Business Women.”
I am the Executive Producer and Host of my own weekly radio show, Women Enjoying Success. I enjoy interviewing self-made successful women who are excited to share their own powerful success stories and strategies as a way to help us succeed and thrive in our own lives and careers. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Sharon-Michaels
My personal blog is at http://www.SharonMichaels/powertosucceed where I immediately share the newest self-empowering skills, stories and tips that I’m uncovering and discovering throughout the week. This is my place to write about anything I want to share. For me, this is the most up-to-the-minute way I can get new information to you!
I also publish the Ezine, Unlimited Success for Women delivered each week directly to your inbox. This Ezine allows me share real world personal and professional success strategies and how-tos with you.
I am also the founder and organizer of the Meetup group, Women Who Want To Successfully Work For Themselves. We currently have a membership of 390+ success-oriented women entrepreneurs. Our organization has attracted sponsorship of such industry leaders such as Microsoft and American Express OPEN.
Personally, I get to spend loving quality time with my husband Oleg and our mini-dachshund Oscar.
I am so grateful for the stumbling blocks! This all began because I was tired of not succeeding the way I wanted to and I knew I could. My passion for empowering and mentoring women began taking shape when I discovered my own self-sabotaging stumbling blocks.
Now, and this is the best part, I get to share my discoveries with you on the radio and blog, in articles and books, on CD’s and videos, on tele-conferences and webinars, during one-on-one coaching, home study e-courses and my invitation only VIP MasterMind program. Thank you!
