I started my first business at 19 so I’d have the time freedom to pursue modeling. But when I reached my twenties and was “too old” for modeling, I had to segue to speaking on camera to continue my career—much like businesses today who need to adapt to the camera to stay visible and relevant.
Since marketing myself came easy, I hustled and landed my first TV commercial back in the ‘80s. I thought it’d be a breeze since I could speak in public well (sound familiar?). But something happened that changed everything…
I froze the first time I had to speak! It was embarrassing to say the least as the Director and crew looked frustrated and disappointed. But I knew I needed to dig deep, so I said, “Let’s go, I’m ready,” and when the second take was done, the crew was elated and that commercial went on to be award-winning.
That’s when I thought I knew everything I needed to do camera work and win auditions—much like business people today. It’s a typical response inside the industry to think you know it all when you get a little bit of knowledge, and I’m seeing it happen to business owners now too.
Well, I still marketed myself… still got work, but nothing in the “big time.” I even beat the pavement and got an agent. But I was playing small.
… learned “tricks of the trade,” and landed my first national commercial! That’s when everything changed! I received checks in the mail for years from that one spot and was ushered into the “elite” of the industry—serving on the Screen Actors Guild Executive Council, co-directing their acting conservatory for more than a decade and opening my own studio.
From there, I kept reinventing myself—expanding my sales chops offline with newspaper ads and call centers, even selling Timeshare with integrity when it felt like a stretch. Then I took it online, building a content site from scratch that pulled in hundreds of thousands of visitors—proof I could hustle in any world. Life threw curveballs—burnout, a hysterectomy, letting go of 90% of my world—but I kept going, launching a supplement line and cracking high-ticket sales.
Now, after 45 years of blending my acting, marketing, and sales know-how into a new kind of “triple threat,” I’m doing something big—helping midlifers like us scale smarter with my Video Influencing System™.
Why? Our needs aren’t being met by young gurus stuck in that “think they know it all” phase of online marketing. Heck, if you’re like me, you were doing business when they were in diapers! I was on TV before most of them were born.
We need mentors who get us—where we are, what we’ve lived.
I’m here for you now, turning my chaos into your calm with a system that works.
Like Tammy, for example, she churned 600 videos with no luck ‘til I tweaked it, and she made sale the next day. Or Vinnie—30 years on stage, camera-shy until I showed him one secret, and then people couldn’t stop listening to him.
Your first step… My book Scale Your Business Smarter With Video reveals my entire system step-by-step and helps you start implementing it right away. Launching Sept. 2025.
But, if you want to implement early, I have a one-time, pre-launch offer. Curious? Click the button to learn more…
