Cindy Holzheimer has been the President/CEO of the Northern Ohio Area Chambers of Commerce for almost two years. She was the Executive Director of the Beachwood Chamber of Commerce for 5 years before that. She has a true passion for chambers of commerce and works to provide high quality cost saving benefits to chambers as well as leadership training and support for chamber leaders. NOACC was started in 1995 by three chambers that had secured a discount on medical insurance through Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and wanted to make this savings available for more chambers in the area to be able to offer to their members. After bringing in a few additional vendors, NOACC was born and is one of the largest chamber associations in the country. NOACC has positioned itself as an authority in high-quality cost-savings programs that are only available through the chambers that belong to our organization. We also keep our chambers connected with each other to provide assistance and resources that all chambers desire to grow their organizations. Cindy's Top Tips: Join your local chamber and not only join, get involved, get your moneys worth. Network with folks, take advantage of the cost savings programs, join a committee if you can, have your company sponsor an event to gain exposure. At the end of that first year, you want to be able to say that you got out of the chamber what you put into it.

Claudia Larrow is a mother of two with a passion for budget travel, and a budding entrepreneur in the financial services industry. She writes for her blog, Vagablonde Life, where she hopes to inspire women and moms on their journeys of self-discovery and adventure. What is Your Special Offer? Get my e-book for FREE: Fly Away Moms: The Ultimate Guide to Saving Money on Travel.  Also offering 50% off any coaching package.   How should people get in touch with you?  Website: http://www.vagablondelife.com/ (www.vagablondelife.com) Instagram or Facebook: Vagablondelife Email: myvagablondelife@gmail.com How and when did your business get started? Vagablonde Life started in January of this year. I had been thinking about starting a blog for a long time as an outlet and place to document my travels. I also could not get the idea out of my head that I might one day be able to build a business that would allow me the freedom and independence to be able to travel more and work from anywhere. The idea was to start blogging as a hobby with the hope of monetizing down the road. It got to the point where I was thinking about it so much, I didn't have all the answers about what it would look like; I just needed to start! I figure if I fall on my face, at least I tried and I can stop wondering “what if.” That's how I approach most everything in life: I'm more likely to regret the things I didn't do or didn't try, than what I did. I don't like having regrets.  When did you know you wanted to start this business/pursue your passion? When I divorced a few years ago, I did a lot of reflecting on my life and it dawned on me that I had a story to tell that other women and moms might relate to. If I could inspire women and moms to pursue their passions while also pursuing one of my own at the same time, it's a win-win!  Traveling has always been really important to me. We didn't have a lot of money growing up but my mom is from Brazil and her whole family is there. She managed to get my brother and I to Brazil to see family. I had my first birthday there, I went back when I was 9 and when I was 15. As an adult I've been back a couple of times as well. This experience opened my eyes to a whole world outside of my own.   When I went to college, I knew I wanted to study abroad. I went to Costa Rica for 6 months and it was a life-changing experience for me. I used to be incredibly shy. I was actually diagnosed with social phobia in grad school, after struggling with social anxiety my whole life. This experience forced me to get completely out of my comfort zone. I moved in with a family I didn't know, attended college courses with locals, became immersed in an experience where I didn't speak the language very well and I didn't know anyone or anything. I gained confidence and went home knowing that I can do anything. It was the hardest and the best experience of my life. From then on, I was hooked on travel. It gives you such amazing perspective on yourself, on the world, forces you to do the things that scare you, adds thrill and excitement in your life in ways that staying at home can't, and it builds confidence.  Fast forward to my late 30s. I had just had my second child and it has been many years since I had been able to have a real adventure. I think a lot of moms can relate to how your world gets turned upside down when you have kids. Your whole life becomes about them and you're trying to balance being a great mom, being a good partner, and doing a good job at your work. You stop taking care of yourself. I had lost touch with myself and who I was, felt a huge void, and desperately wanted a break and a chance to reconnect with myself. Finances were tight. I knew how to travel on an extremely tight budget, but...

A Cleveland, Ohio native, Kathleen resides in North Ridgeville, OH. She and her husband have five children ages 12 – 29 years of age. She's a big fan of all Cleveland sport teams but especially the Cleveland Indians.  She is the owner of Mosquito Hunters in Northeast Ohio and helps homeowners and businesses get rid of mosquitoes, ticks and fleas in their yards. How and when did your business get started? I purchased my franchise in October of 2019. 2020 is my inaugural season. My husband are in the process of buying another territory for next season. When did you know you wanted to start this business/pursue your passion? I have been traveling for my "day" job since 2008 - when my daughter was only 4 months old. She's 12 now and I feel like I've missed a lot of her growing up. I want to be able to control my time and set my own schedule. I became aware of Mosquito Hunters through a LinkedIn article that highlighted three franchisees - all women. As I read their reasons on why Mosquito Hunters was a good fit for them - It checked all of my boxes. What makes you/your business special? My business, like so many others, is about relationship building. We put our customers first. We back this with our Happiness Promise. Which simply put means we will retreat a customer's property at any time during the 21 days between treatments - no questions asked. We also do not work under contracts. But even more importantly, we want our customers to be able to enjoy their yards with their families (including pets) without the fear of being bitten by mosquitoes, fleas or ticks and possibly contracting the many diseases carried by these pests. Walk us through what it's like to do business with you? Either step by step, and/or the customer experience. First, we have a discussion about your yard highlighting such things as high activity areas, gardens, ponds, pets, areas of standing water. When we understand those items, we have a target plan to treat their yard. The night before, we call each customer to inform them that he or she is on the next day's schedule. We also call enroute to each customer. Once at the property our technician: 1.   Surveys the property 2.   Eliminates standing water where possible 3.   Applies a barrier treatment 4.   Applies anti-larva treatment to puddles and flooded areas 5.   Notes suggestions to improve the efficiency of treatment Do you have any PRO tips for our listeners? This is giving some value to the listener about your profession. Some simple steps to reduce mosquitoes: · Regularly mow grass and trim shrubbery · Irrigate lawn to avoid standing water accumulation · Keep gutters clean · Avoid overwatering plants · Eliminate weeds or trash in ditches & drains · Frequently empty bird baths and other water-collecting receptacles · Cover trash cans to prevent water accumulation · Encourage neighbors to do the same!!! What is Your Special Offer? Free introductory treatment How should people get in touch with you? Website, email, phone, social media, etc. Website: http://www.mosquitohunters.com/avon-oh (www.mosquitohunters.com/avon-oh) Phone: 440-785-3381 E-mail: MH68@mosquitohunters.com
