Hi Annemarie
What a lovely way to support the people who follow you! I appreciate you for that.
As a certified Life Coach I coach women to break free of old constraints and learn the truth; that you can choose what kind of life you lead. Discovering and living through core values and self awareness is my main focus.
I look forward to checking out some of the other repsonses. Thanks again for such a wonderful gesture.
Keep well!
Hi Bonnie, and welcome!
So many of us remain blocked from achieving our goals because of old constraints. Your services sound like an amazing way to break free from these constraints so that we can finally live the life we have always only dared to dream about.
Blessings!
Hi Annemarie! Thank you for this opportunity to talk a little bit about my business. My name is Astra Spider and I am The Joyous Business Shaman of EMERGE Shamanic Business Coaching. I am a specialist in opening my clients to their flow of abundance and prosperity, empowering them to operate their business from a place of joy, connected deeply to their hearts – with open spirits and peaceful minds. My favorite quote from the Dalai Lama is: “The purpose of our lives is to be happy.” One of my favorite quotes from myself is: “The purpose of our businesses is to be happy.”
In my shamanic coaching and healing practices, I have specialized in helping my clients and workshop attendees to open to their abundance and prosperity since 2007. In the past couple of years I have started applying this specifically to entrepreneurs and small business owners – realizing that our businesses are amazing miracles that have grown from the seeds we have planted in our hearts, in connection with our soul’s purposes and doing what we love. Looking at business owners, every one of you is totally amazing – and I want to inspire and empower you to know this and feel this as well!
Hi Astra, welcome! Thanks for sharing your passion with us. Here’s to opening up the constant flow of abundance and prosperity and of course happiness in our lives and businesses!
My name is Lauren R. Tharp and my business is LittleZotz Writing. http://littlezotz.com I’m primarily an article writer.
Q.) What inspires you?
A.) Other writers and entrepreneurs who have come before me and still live to tell the tale.
Q.) How long have you been in business?
A.) I’ve been writing for years, but I made the mistake of writing for free before, or writing “on the side.” I’ve ditched those bad habits and have been writing professionally, as my sole means of income, for just over a year now.
Q.) What services/products do you offer?
A.) Blogging
Article Writing
SEO
Ghostwriting
Letter Writing
Product Descriptions
Sales Pages
Press Releases
Interviews
Facebook/Twitter updates
Haikus
Fiction
I’ve also written an e-book called The Newbie Writer’s Guide that’s essentially a guide for people who want to do what I do. It details how I left my crappy day job and went on to live my dream of being a writer. It can be found in the “Store” section of my website.
Q.) How do you help people?
A.) So many people build gorgeous websites, but then have absolutely no content… I provide that much-needed content.
Q.) Is there anything you’re struggling with at the moment?
A.) Absolutely. I’ve gained 30 pounds since I first started writing professionally and it’s really messing with my blood sugar. I’m struggling to find a way to fit exercise back into my busy schedule.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to “brag,” Annemarie! I’m usually so busy helping other people brag about THEIR products, that I don’t get to talk much about myself.

Great idea Annemarie!

Thanks AJ. I was just interviewing Meridith Elliott Powell (for an upcoming Ambitious Entrepreneur show) on the topic of selling and how we can see when someone is going to try to ‘sell’ us a mile away. It just doesn’t work. Your business provides some great resources to help people become more comfortable with marketing, which is so very important. Thanks for stopping by!
