Where it all started – my journey to my purpose

I’m very excitied to be interviewing today’s WOW (Wednesday’s Outstanding Woman) Happiness Coach Sue Jaques Weston. Sue is my mentor and is the lady responsible  for getting me started in discovering my purpose and through working with her i’ve been able to overcome many of the blocks many of us experience when we’re starting to play bigger. Sue helped me overcome my fear of success and through a simple technique she was able to get straight to the root of what had previously kept rooted in self sabotage every time I began making progress. We’ve worked together now for 3 years , its very rare to find someone who shares your passions yet has their own unique style which compliments mine perfectly.I’ve been so blessed to have such an amazing spirit enter my life and our journey together has only begun.  

Tell me a little about you , your lifestyle and what you are passionate about?  I am happily married to Ian and have 2 lovely sons at university and a beautiful daughter  who’s now at senior school. I love my life and I am so passionate about helping people get the life they deserve. I play an active role in my community and facilitate many events which bring everyone together.

So tell me about your business, what is Sue Jaques Life Coaching all about? My business is all about helping people to find direction in their lives. I help them to realize and achieve their goals by making small changes and show them how they can feel more positive by looking at their life in a different way. I use various NLP techniques and hypnotherapy to help my clients make the changes that enable them to move on and get the life they desire.  I see people on a one to one basis and run Life Coaching courses for groups of people.

What lead you to making the decision of creating your own business? I went on a life coaching course at my daughter’s school and it was here that I decided I would like to become a life coach and hypnotherapist. I have been freelance for most of my working life so it made perfect sense to create my own business.

Has there always been a burning desire inside you to create this or did  your business evolve from your original idea? I have always had the desire to help people and make a difference. I also enjoy talking to people and finding out what makes them who they are. Being a life coach really does tick all the boxes for me, I really love my job.

What did/do you find to be the most challenging part of your business? The most challenging part of my job is attracting enough clients to make my business viable. Also a lot of clients wish to see me after work and at weekends when I have limited appointments.

What have you learned about yourself during the process of setting up your business? I have learned that I can deal with difficult situations easily by using the tools I teach my clients to use. I definitely practise what I preach!

What advice would you give someone considering starting their own business? I would advise them to research the field they are setting up in. Charging the right price is really important. If you don’t charge enough people won’t value you and if you are too expensive people won’t come to you. The most important advice I would give is to believe in yourself.

What products and services do you provide ? I provide NLP Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy and TimeLine Therapy

What is the greatest success story for your business? I’m not sure if I’m allowed to say this but 3 years ago a lovely lady called Mary came along to one of my Life Coaching courses. She was a star pupil and continued to attend the course for 6months. I asked her if she would help me run the course. She agreed to this and decided to train as an NLP practitioner. I have watched her grow and flourish. She is now running courses in her own right for Barnet Council and has a huge following on the internet. I am so proud of her and all she has achieved.

Next week I’ll be interviewing  Sarah Centrella  who’ll be sharing about her personal journey as a suddenly single mum starting life over at 33 with 3 small children, jobless, and broke. In 2 years she managed to work her way up the corporate ladder to a VP/Director role for a legal software company and now is a writer and author of the motivational blog Thoughts.Stories.Life. And the soon to be published memoir by the same name.

Wednesday’s Outstanding Women – Anna Miranda from Creating Wellness

To kick off Wednesday’s outstanding women who’ve created a business around their passions and life purpose. today I’m interviewing Anna Miranda from Creating Wellness. She has been a medium, intuitive and medical intuitive for the past 15 years and specializes in the law of cause and effect. She is trained in EFT, Hypnosis and Reiki healing. She received her hypnosis training through Carol Denicker at The Holbrook Wellness Center, the only NY state accredited hypnosis school!  Her specialized vibrational guidance readings are empowering and profound. The readings focus on soul growth, life lessons and life purpose.

Mary Joyce : So tell me a little about you, your lifestyle and what you are passionate about?
AM: My name is Anna Miranda and I am 33 years old. I am passionate about all forms of metaphysics and spiritual philosophy. I am currently in a two-year program studying interfaith ministry, religion, spiritual counseling and alternative healing therapies. When i am not working I love studying meditation and being outdoors doing any type of activity!! Hiking, rock climbing and yoga are some of my favorites.

MJ : Can you tell me about your business, who is Anna Miranda and what Creating Wellness is all about ?
AM : My business is all about creating a higher consciousness. Spiritual awareness and well being is the key focus. I work with individuals that want to expand their wisdom and knowledge of their highest self. My clients are other recovering from a debilitating illness or intense emotional trauma or just looking to create a happier life. I focus on healing therapy such as Hypnosis, Meditation, kinesiology, reiki and energy medicine. As well as VGN vibrational guidance navigation, which is a type of intuitive reading that I specialize in. For further details on VGN feel free to check out my website www.creatingwellnessinfo.net

MJ : What lead you to making the decision of creating your own business?
I began my spiritual journey at 16 after a profound near death experience. In my early twenties I started to guide people intuitively and spiritually, mostly friends and family. After a few years my father suggested that I begin to charge for my services since so many people were asking for my help. So I began studying all types of healing modalities and spiritual philosophy and began to treat my passion as my vocation. Today I am a working medical intuitive and spiritual adviser.

MJ : Has there always been a burning desire inside you to create this or did it your business evolve from your original idea? I have always had a burning desire to teach metaphysics since I was 16; however the way my business came to be was very magical. It just sort of happened on its own. It wasn’t until I began to have a basic steady cliental that I started to incorporate my business.

MJ : What did/do you find to be the most challenging part of your business?
The most challenging part of my business is the same as all business, maintaining a steady cliental. My type of service is not something most people look for in the yellow pages. Most of the time its all referral based.

MJ : What have you learned about yourself during the process of setting up your business? The first thing I learned was that although I am a natural at my vocation I had a lot to learn about business. So I am slowly taking steps everyday to become more business minded. I realized that if I truly want my business to be successful. I must put just as much effort in the business end as I do with each client that comes for intuitive guidance.

MJ : What advice would you give someone considering starting their own business? The first thing I learned was the importance of computer skills and being a part of social media. I am just beginning this social media journey with my business now. If you’re not a natural at business hire yourself a great web designer and business manager that can make all the difference.

MJ : What products or services do you provide for readers who’d like to be able to experience your work ? I provide 4 services: VGN vibrational guidance navigation readings . Healing therapy, hypnosis and meditation. (see www.creatingwellnessinfo.net to book a session )

MJ : What is the greatest success story for your business? The greatest success story of my business has nothing to do with my profit or me. It has to do with the success of my clients. One in particular, my client Andrea who came to me with third stage lobular breast cancer. After Months of chemo and radiation, Andrea and I mediated and used healing therapy and hypnosis throughout all her chemo treatment; we focused on her well-being and now a year later Andrea is still in full remission!!! There is no greater success than a client who receives wellness!!

Thank you Anna for sharing your story , your journey in creating your business and getting your gifts out into the world is very inspirational .
