Behind the Scenes: From My Passion for Globetrotting a New Business Emerges

By Denise Wakeman

Lake Fewa Pokhara Nepal

I don’t remember my first travel adventure.

I was an infant and my parents never hesitated to take me – and my sisters when they came into being – wherever they were going on a trip. Except for when they went to Hawaii when I was nine months old. After that, we traveled as a family.

My first solo plane ride was from Los Angeles to San Jose to visit my cousins when I was 9 or 10 years old.

I was 13 when we traveled in Europe for three months in a VW camper van.

I was 19 when I hitchhiked across the country with another gal I had met working for the summer on Cape Cod.

I was still 19 when I went on a 2-week tour of China with a group from my university. Then, I continued traveling for six months, sometimes on my own and sometimes meeting up with friends along the way.

Since then I’ve lived in two countries (Germany and Canada) other than the United States and have traveled to 30+ countries.  [Read more…]

Showing Up, Modeling, and Taking a Leap of Faith

By Denise Wakeman

Life doesn’t always go as planned or expected. I’ve been running (actually “wogging”) since 2007. I’ve had my share of trips and aches and sprains, but never any serious injuries. The worst physical injury I’ve ever experienced was a torn ACL in my right knee in 2013 that happened as I was attempting to get out of a boat on Lago de Sandoval in the Peruvian Amazon. That was excruciating and set me back for months.

Two weeks ago I was near Bass Lake, just south of Yosemite National Park, three miles into a half marathon when I tripped and fell flat on my face. I knew I was going down and was cursing all the way. Thankfully several runners stopped, helped me, and called the sweeper truck to come get me.  [Read more…]

Are you an introverted entrepreneur struggling to get noticed by your ideal clients?

By Denise Wakeman

Where will your online business be in 3 months?

Take a moment and remind yourself…how many followers and friends do you have on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter?

How many visitors do you get to your blog and amazing articles?

And, how many of those visitors opt in to your list and turn into new clients, investing in your offers?

Whether you identify as an outgoing person or a little shyer, it actually doesn't matter…simply ask yourself…

…How great would it feel to have hundreds more of all of the above? How about 100% more than you have now?

Recently, I’ve been doing some deep contemplation and realized something important that might help you too. I realized a lot of my success is because I’m an introvert. Yes, really! Where I thought I had to force myself to be extroverted, actually, being more introverted has really helped me succeed on the Internet.

In fact, I discovered that lots of entrepreneurs – perhaps you, too – also consider themselves introverts and many struggle with – and even hate – conventional ways of marketing like networking, speaking, etc. Are you in that category?

Do the most guru-recommended business-building tactics make you cringe? You’re doing some of the things you’re supposed to do, but you grit your teeth and it’s certainly not easy! Maybe it’s so clear most ‘to do’ lists for entrepreneurs are for extroverted types, you’ve wondered if entrepreneurship is even for you anymore!

That's when it came to me: I must share the introvert-friendly tactics that allow you to breathe, be exactly who you are, and create significant visibility that leads to increased income.

Because when you stop trying to do things that aren’t natural… a LOT of energy is freed up, results start to flow, and you even start loving your work again.

Imagine going from stuck, feeling guilty, and not getting enough results to the ease, freedom and income of going with your natural introverted STRENGTHS!

This is so important, that I’ve decided to create an intimate group mentoring program just for introverts who want to boost their visibility, reach more of their perfect clients, and increase their income.

You actually may not think of yourself as an introvert, and since that's not a question I've ever asked, I don't know, but I’m going to guess.

I do know you could definitely use more income-generating visibility. And the introvert-friendly tactics I want to empower you with can help you certainly do that without ever having to leave the house!

If that appeals to you, then I invite you to click here to learn about my – surprisingly affordable – online visibility mentoring program for introverted entrepreneurs.

The truth is, if we dig in now, by September, you could have an entirely different report card as for as your online reach is concerned.

And, we all know how important these number are to your bottom line…

The program starts July 10 and is limited to 8 people and 7 spots are already filled. If more than 8 people want in, then I will consider creating a second group, we’ll see. I want to provide a small, intimate environment where you get the exact mentoring and masterminding you need to take massive action in an environment that honors your personal style.

Visibility is not just for extroverts. You deserve it too!

As someone who went from hiding behind the scenes with no visibility to being highly visible with a wonderful, responsive community and working with my ideal clients within a few months, all being the introvert I am, I can’t wait for you to feel the relief that comes from stopping things that are awkward and not honoring of you. Finally… your natural strengths can start to be assets in your business.

Click here to see the details about the only highly personalized introvert-focused results-oriented Online Visibility Program led by an introvert. Once there, secure your seat with the accessible full-pay OR payment options – entirely up to you.

It’s your turn. I look forward to working with you!

P.S. 7 spots are already gone and we are scheduling one on one consults in the next week. If this program "speaks" to you, click and sign up now…I don't want you to be disappointed!
