Inspiration:
Her initial inspiration came from being a professional celtic harpist and signer in which she taught workshops to other musicians about getting over performance anxiety. She loved her work but only could do this a few times a year, and wanted to help people more often and make money doing it.

Challenge:
Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. Pamela had severe social anxiety, especially at networking events, and thus disliked marketing and sales for herself. She was also very self conscious, especially of what people would think of her when she sold and the fear of rejection.

Overcoming Challenges:
Severe social anxiety was a major part for Pamela. In her mind, she was failing, but by trying something new to reach her audience, Pamela found success and confidence. Pamela says, “Failure is not a condition, failure is a moment in time.”

Lessons:
Don’t give up.  She tried something new and made it work. She learned to give great value and also how to take action at the last minute were all important for Pamela. She suggests looking for alternative plans of action to be successful.

Passion:
Pamela is putting all her efforts into one program. She is deeply passionate about teaching the best tools of mindset to seven-figure business owners.

Vision:
Pamela’s vision is to revision the way business is done. She wants to see the fear disappear from business. “Business is the gradate school of personal growth.” You have to tackle your mindset issues, you need to play  as effectively and strategically  with those parts of you that want to keep you safe as much as the as the strategies that keep you business moving forward.

Advice:
Her husband gives her this question to think about, “…who do you really want to be in this moment?”  Also, do what is congruent for you.

Personal Growth:
She has felt herself how throughout her journey. She has seen the most personal growth with people outside of her business, including her interactions with people she is unfamiliar with, and now enjoys those interactions.

Tools, Podcasts & Books:
Her iPhone is one of her most important tools. She can run most of her business right from it. Plus features like voice texting allow her to overcome typing by just speaking her words.
