She is the Founder of Style Collective, an online supportive community with influencer education that empowers women to find their purpose, be inclusive and achieve success.  Style Collective was created in reaction to an experience no other woman should ever have. In late 2015, Annie left her job in corporate marketing after being bullied and harassed by another woman in the workplace. The experience left her feeling defeated and emotionally drained. She wished there was a way for women to work together and help each other achieve success. Annie has since made it her mission to empower other women, improve their happiness, and help them achieve their goals through sisterhood and support of a shared passion. Style Collective is the realization of that mission.

From teaching to a corporate position to creating a blog, co-founding an online community, and becoming an interior designer AND a podcast creator, we talk with Annie about her journey and the struggles that ensued. We delve into how Annie redirected and reframed her mindset to find success and happiness.

How important is it for an influencer to have a support system? Wouldn't it be great if you were a part of an influencer community that empowers you as you pursue your passion and turn it into a business? Let's find out in today's episode as we explore the power of an influencer community with Style Collective's Annie Spano. “We're just trying to make a difference in the world through our craft and our passion.” Style Collective is an influencer community for women to connect, grow, and learn how to be successful bloggers and entrepreneurs. Prior to starting Style Collective, Annie had been in a toxic work situation in her corporate job after she had graduated from her MBA and realized she needed to get out. She felt the need to be around other people that were positive and inspiring. She also needed to be where she could be a leader and empower women. She started her blog in October 2015 and did some consulting through it for a local boutique. She began to know other fashion bloggers that were starting at the same time and she connected with these women on a deeper level. She became best friends with some of them and she started a Facebook group for all of them to connect with each other, to share tips and ideas with each other, and encourage each other. Through that, Annie saw the power of an influencer community. Now, Annie connects women from all over the world through community and empowers them to do what they love through leadership and influencer education.

We hear of career changes all the time. Ellen Degeneres was a paralegal before she was a daytime talk show host. Julia Child was a spy for the CIA before she became a culinary genius.   We all have our reasons to leave one profession for another. Our guest Annie Spano’s reason to leave was a more personal reason. Annie hopped from job to job, moving from high school math teacher to a project coordinator in a big corporate business.   However, as she started to grow in the position and in her education, she started recognizing a ‘work bully’ situation in the office.   She then left and created ‘Style Collective’, a community to collaborate and empower other women to grow their fashion blogs. Annie connects with people through sharing this story, a story of learning from a personal hardship and growing from the experience. (8:40) “Your past doesn’t define who you are. You can write your own story, you can start over. I have started over many times. This is my third career now, and I am in my early thirties -- and you know the ‘work bully’. If had listened to everything that she had told me and let that bug in my ear bring me down, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do today.” --Annie Spano   (12:40) “I wanted so bad to be a leader in the position I was working in and I was not able to do that. My love for leadership and inspiring others and empowering them, showing them my hustle so they hustle. It empowers them and inspires them to help other woman in the community” --Annie Spano   (14:56) “Post constantly, being engaging, providing helpful content, celebrating our members on social media and on our website and on our emails and being inspirational. Really showing that as an organization we care about our members”-- Annie Spano   Connect with Annie: http://www.anniespano.com Twitter:@annie_spano Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/amspano/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annie_spano/   Connect with Kelly: www.kellyroachcoaching.com www.facebook.com/kellyroachinternational www.twitter.com/kellyroachint     A HUGE thank you for listening to Unstoppable Success Radio!   I would be so grateful if you left me a rating and review!     My mission and goal is to serve you, my listeners, so please submit your questions for an upcoming #ask Kelly episode by emailing coaching@kellyroachcoaching.com or @kellyroachint or calling 610 910 3600 to submit your questions!       Here's how I can help you achieve your goals:     -How to build, scale and automate growth in your business:kellyroachcoaching.com/yes     -Take your hobby, side hustle or new business quickly to the 100k mark: kellyroachcoaching.com/100k     -Turbo charge your productivity, breakthrough overwhelm and the impact the profit in your business in 30 day or less kellyroachcoaching.com/higher-profits/     -Inquire about Private consulting and coaching by completing the application at: http://kellyroachcoaching.com/apply-now/     Get insider tips and resources only available to my private email community by texting IGNITE to 44222 or visiting kellyroachcoaching.com and selecting any of the exciting resources or trainings available for immediate download.     Have you gotten your copy of UNSTOPPABLE: 9 Principles for Unlimited Success in Business and in Life at Amazon here NOW!
