I have taken advantage of free training, online resources and groups and I've learned to stretch my resources and make them work for me. Favorite quote: “You don't get in life what you want.

The best career advice I ever received was that in order to be heard speak into their language. That career advice came from my business coach, Andrea Woolf. What is your proudest career accomplishment and why? My proudest career accomplishment is launching Who's That Housewife!? and making it a sustainable business. I had a lot of doubters for leaving a high six-figure corporate career to launch my “silly housewives game” but instead of letting that sway me or doubt creep in, I remained laser-focused on what I wanted to accomplish. I joke that PR stands for perseverance and resilience because those are the keys to success in public relations, and I’ve found that translates well to entrepreneurship. What has been the hardest career moment and how did you overcome it? My hardest career moment was when doing my job well, meant being out of my integrity. I overcame it by getting super clear on what I needed in my ideal career and going after it. That ultimately meant leaving the company I was at and going into entrepreneurship full time.

What is branding? How is branding different from marketing? Is branding different from marketing? Why crafting a brand identity for your business is so important and how to own your own business while also being a mom. -------- What's the best career advice you have ever received? This is not about fame. It's about impact. "Fake it til you make it.' It’s a thing we say. It’s meant to be encouraging: “you got this, it’s doesn't have to be perfect, act as if and the rest will follow...” Great. But, in my experience, humans have what it takes. We don’t need to fake it. Confidence comes from knowing who you are and knowing when you don’t know what you need to know, but feeling good about asking for help, being curious about new possibilities. Running this company, I’m continually confronted with ideas, needs wants of clients and their brand. Our job is to make it, with humility and grace, confidently making the next good decision. You don’t have to fake it. You’ve got what it takes. And when something new comes up, develop curiosity and ask for help. What is your proudest career accomplishment and why? Being able to impact the businesses of other entrepreneurs. It's something that I get to engage in daily, and it's a privilege so see how creating small spaces for change can help them propel to their next level of success. It's like that saying goes, when the tide comes into the harbor, all boats rise. I believe that is our role as entrepreneurs. What has been the hardest career moment and how did you overcome it? The place of growth. How did I overcome it (see my favorite quote) Favorite quote: DO THE WORK. I say it at least 10 times daily. Also, "Your work is an expression of who you are. So go out there and do that work.” Connect with Bianca at: https://BiancaBroos.com https://www.facebook.com/BiancaBroosCompany/ https://www.instagram.com/biancabroos/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resources to help you just START: 1.

Bonus, learn how Trivinia grew a 7 figure business while working a full-time job. -------- What's the best career advice you have ever received? “You’ll never fully embrace being a CEO as long as you’re acting like an employee for someone else.” - Todd Herman What is your proudest career accomplishment and why? Growing a business to 7 figures while still working nearly full time. It took tenacity, grit and a lot of perseverance to deliver high quality for my clients, and create a business that I loved. What has been the hardest career moment and how did you overcome it? Hands down the worst day in business and one of my biggest learning lessons came when I lost one of our biggest clients because he lost funds. I had to tell 13 VAs that they no longer had a job. This several years ago and I was so excited because this client was a good portion of our bottom line. It forced me to innovate and find new solutions and products to offer so I could continue to provide job opportunities to these women I’d come to admire. My team and I quickly came up with products to sell that we could delegate to the VAs who just had a blow to their income.

James Wedmore -- he said, “You can start to predict your future by looking at your thoughts, feelings and actions you’re taking today.” It rocked my whole world and kicked my ass into gear!

Plus, we dive into some organizational tools too! -------- What's the best career advice you have ever received? The best career advice I have ever been given was that "you just have to be a sophomore to the freshman" and it was from my business mentor Ann Vertel. What she meant was: you don't need to know everything, you just need to know enough to get someone to where you are now. By the time you do that for enough people, you will have moved onto or learned enough to educate them to the next level. You will never EVER know everything and the more you know, the more you realize you don't know. So, if you can bring someone from a place you used to be, to where you are now, you know enough to have a business and charge for your services. What is your proudest career accomplishment and why? My proudest career accomplishment was transforming my pain of discharge from the service into this mission-driven business. That is my biggest accomplishment because I had a choice: fall and stay down or make something of myself regardless of the situation. It was a profound moment of change for me and one I will never forget. What has been the hardest career moment and how did you overcome it? My hardest career moment was when I received my official letter of discharge from the Navy. I overcame it by allowing myself to sit with every emotion that came up for me at the time, the sadness, the rage, the disappointment, the frustration, everything and I allowed myself to be in that space as each emotion came. This enabled me to actually process what was going on and to allow the light to breach through the cracks of the darkness.

Not having a website for the longest time, but having people reach out to me about what I was doing and how I could help them, by simply showing up on social media consistently. I then had a client of my own do the same thing and landed her first client, so that felt awesome to just be reaffirmed, ok this works, you don't need to spend thousands of dollars or cold call a list to start an online business. What has been the hardest career moment and how did you overcome it? Deciding to leave a 6-figure job as a single mom and go out on my own with uncertainty, inconsistent income, and impostor syndrome. I finally got to the point where the fear of missing out on my potential become bigger than the fear of missing out on the stability.

Apart from my Dad’s advice - ‘There’s no such word as can’t!’ My old boss from Yellow Pages used to say that every time someone said no to me in sales, I could put £1 in my pocket. Then when I got a yes I would have gathered a pocket full of £1’s towards it and I also learned to not take the no’s personally! What is your proudest career accomplishment and why? Gosh - lots really. There have been some awards I’ve won that I am very proud of - but I think my proudest moment was when my son commented on my TEDx video on YouTube telling me how proud he was of me that was a real moment as he didn’t tell me he had done it!

I had spent 16 years in the newspaper business where I was able to utilize all of my entrepreneurial skills to build the paper up to be a shining star in our newspaper group and be promoted to Publisher because of it.. which I spent the last six years of my career there doing. There came a point when things began changing, both internally and externally, and I knew it was time to move on while I still loved what I was doing.

"You have to change the underlying structure of your life to make real and lasting change." - Robert Fritz, The Path of Least Resistance "Identify your ideal client and don't settle for less." - Gail Ginder, Claros Group What is your proudest career accomplishment and why? I don't know how to answer this question! I'm grateful that hundreds of local businesses that have trusted my skill and discretion for over 35 years. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to be photo editor on a book about the history of Healdsburg. I enjoyed serving on the executive board of directors of World-Voices Organization, an advocacy group for voice actors. I'm proud to have some of my billiard photos in the Library of Congress. I'm fortunate to have been part of the founding of Apple Computer. What has been the hardest career moment and how did you overcome it? My hardest career moment was giving up on being a CPA. I felt like a complete and utter failure for years. It took me a l-o-n-g time to realize that creating a unique niche and filling it served an important need and allowed me to avoid corporate America, which was a terrible fit for me. In the early days of personal computers, accounting software was not as easy to use as it is today. I was comfortable with accounting concepts and personal computers, so I was able to help entrepreneurs focus on what they did best, and delegate administrative tasks to me.
