I started my first business at age 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 well in public (sound familiar?). But something happened that changed everything...
I set my ego aside, got the right mentor who actually knew the correct "tricks of the trade" and landed my first national commercial! That's when everything changed again! I received residual checks in the mail for several years from that one spot and was ushered into the "elite" of the industry - serving on the Screen Actors Guild Executive Council, co-directing and training for their acting conservatory for more than a decade and opening my own studio.
From there, I kept reinventing myself - expanding my sales chops offline writing newspaper advertorials, hiring call centers and 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. Even when life threw heavy "midlife" curveballs - elder care, burnout, hysterectomy, letting go of 90% of my world - I kept going, launching my own supplement line and cracking high-ticket sales.
Now after 45 years of blending my acting, marketing and sales knowledge into a new kind of "triple threat," I'm doing something big - helping "mid-lifers" like us scale smarter with my Video Influencing System™
Why? Because our needs are not 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! And I was on TV before most of them were even born.
