She is a fellow European. She graduated from Trinity College, which is a really good one in Ireland. So welcome to the show, Sheila. Thank you, Steve. This is awesome. Thank you for having me on. It's great to have you. So, Sheila, tell me a little bit how you became an entrepreneur and why did you choose the businesses you chose and eventually what is Connected Sponsors about? Sure. So I became an entrepreneur. As you said, I graduated from Trinity and that year I actually got an offer of a green card and applied for jobs in the States and got a job in Boston. So I headed over to Boston. My big fear was I'd meet an American and get stuck over here, which is pretty much what happened. And I got a job in biotech. My degree is primarily in biochemistry. So I got a job here in biotech and met and married my husband. And I was six years in, became pregnant with my first daughter. And I knew that I didn't want to work for somebody else once she was born. I wanted to have the freedom to live life on my own terms and to always be there for her if, you know, there was a school play or a soccer match or whatever it was that, you know, she needed me for, I wanted to have that freedom. So that's when I kind of found my first business and have never looked back. That's, that's very interesting. And I think it's very topical, because these days, because of COVID, a lot of people realize that discovered home working, that it's actually not necessarily a negative thing, it can be a very empowering thing. Just today, I went, I looked at a company that someone recommended to me and they have 64 employees and those people work in 52 different countries, which is mind-blowing to me. Yeah, very successful company. They want to grow to a hundred million dollars. So this is real, this is here for everyone now, but tell me a little bit about your thinking process. So how did you arrive at this idea of building a work from home type of company? So, you know, there wasn't really work from home opportunities back then, really. You know, Ashwin was born in 1996. So if you had a job, you generally went to the job. There weren't really kind of work from home opportunities. So then it was, you had to create something or start something of your own. So the first business that I had was a toner remanufacturing business. And it was just kind of dumb luck that I fell into it. My dad had a friend in California who had that business and we actually paid him some money to have me go there for a week, learn everything I could and I came back and just started calling accountants and saying, hey, I do remanufactured toner. It's cheaper than the real stuff. So do you want to buy? And it just kind of built from there. And then I just, you just kind of create it. We had a home with a big basement. So the whole business was found in the basement. There was kind of office on one side and a workshop on the other. And everything was, you know, I'd deliver from my minivan with usually a kid or two in tow. And you just, you know, whatever your situation is, you just kind of have to make it work for where you're at. And that's,

Sheila is originally from Tuam, County Galway in Ireland and moved to the States, thinking that it will just be for a while. Fast forward to today, through her company Connected Sponsor, Sheila helps event promoters monetize their events by building long standing relationships and partnerships with Sponsoring companies. Some events she promotes are Thrive, Archangel, ProfitCon, Perfect Life Retreat, MFA Live, Disruptive Innovation and Nor-Cal Fitness Summit. Sheila always had an entrepreneurial spirit from she was young. Some of her successful business ventures include Scalliwags, a children's indoor playground and sought-after birthday party venue, Foreclosuresmass.com and Government Deal Funding – both Real Estate Investing education companies and Affiliate Mastermind Group - an association bringing structure, innovation and collaboration to businesses in need and Connected Sponsors where she secures amazing sponsors for her clients and teaches others how to do the same. She was in Bill Glazers mastermind for several years and attributes a lot of her success to all that she learned through GKIC. In this episode, we discuss: ·     The businesses that she previously had and why she decided to exit those ·     What her current business is about, her motivation behind it, and what makes it a win+win+win situation ·     What has changed in doing events during the pandemic? Has it helped the industry? I hope you will find this episode as exciting and informative as I have. One of Sheila ‘s key to success is empathy, she believes that money is just database and it's more important to deal with people, knowing that if you don't have them, you don't have anything. She also has tenacity, once she gets her teeth into something she doesn't let go. Her dream is to own a business that is so powerful it can run on auto pilot.
