Kerry also has part ownership in other businesses in the fashion and beauty industry. Her passion is to help other entrepreneurs with their marketing efforts to continue their dream of running a successful business. Playing Small Moment Kerry realized she was playing small when she would take on clients in a desperate need, instead of waiting for the right ones to come along. Kerry would devalue herself by lowering prices or giving discounts that could hurt her business in the long-run. The Wake Up Call During Kerry’s trade-show networking days, is where she had her ‘aha’ moment. Other people were trying to lure away her members, which created an unhealthy competition. It got to the point where it would keep her up at night. She decided to go to a colleague to vent and he told her, “If you won the lottery would you still be doing these trade-shows?” She has never done a trade-show again. Style of Leadership Kerry’s leadership style is different from other women. She doesn’t sugar coat anything. She tells people the things they don’t want to hear. Kerry is sympathetic; however, if she feels you need to hear something she isn’t afraid to tell you. What Are You Excited About? Kerry has a 30-day Publicity Boot Camp. She wants women to feel less intimated, instead of talking themselves out of opportunities. Everyone is welcome, this isn’t just for women. Leadership Practice Listening is a key to being a good leader. Listen to your people and where they are having troubles. Kerry follows these rules for actively listening: be quite, have a talk one-on-one, take notes, and be open minded. Book to Develop Leadership How To Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WEAI4E/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?ie=UTF8&btkr=1 What Would You Tell Your Younger Self? Kerry would tell her younger self to trust her gut. She says if there is something in your business that you don’t feel right about, stop until your feeling goes away. Women are intuitive, follow your instincts.

This will help with the feeling of overwhelm. 2. Make a list – daily, weekly, monthly.  Write down your goals for the day.  Keep this list relatively short, listing the things that must get accomplished. 3. Get an accountability partner.  Work together on a specific set of goals within a certain timeline. 4. Use a timer.  Set a time limit on a specific task.  Stay focused on that task for that time frame. 5. Schedule your time. Ensure that your calendar is accurate, followed, and accessible from anywhere. 6. Color-coding.  Use this in a way that allows you to know what has to be done categorically. 7.  Visualize your goals.  Create a vision board. Use it as an on-going visual reminder of your goals and to maintain focus. 8. Delegate.  Let others do the things that you don’t need to do.  Let go of complete control. 9. Take a walk.  Step away from what you are doing to clear your mind and maintain focus. Best advice you would give someone:  Trust your gut.  Don’t listen to advise from others if it’s not in alignment with what your gut is telling you. What you believe that has gotten you to where you are today: Perseverance.  You are going to have bad days, you just have to remember why you started doing what you are doing…  pick yourself up, remember tomorrow is another day, and persevere.
