This “accidental entrepreneur” and amazing success story is seriously inspiring - and quite eye opening for anyone that wants a flourishing business with a huge audience that is BRIMMING with opportunity!

And the coolest part of all, her story is only just beginning...

From the simple use of social media to nationwide media coverage, from an unknown to an "internet sensation" … her life has been totally transformed, opening doors to create ANY life she wants.

And it all happened “on the side” - while she was working and going to college.

I’m talking about Jessamyn Stanley and you can read about her story in this article on the FastCompany website.

We discussed this story in detail during Brainstorming Hour (a session I host twice a week in my Private Brainstorming Group) and several GREAT points came out of our discussion. If you’re already a member and you missed yesterday’s live session, you can click here to watch the replay. It’s a jam-packed must-see session!

I encourage you to read this story for yourself and see what really speaks to YOU.

There are so many strong take-aways. The first thing that came to mind for ME is this:

What’s YOUR excuse?

Fast Company labels her an “Instagram Celebrity” but she is SO much more than that. She is now the author of a book, getting tons of press & media coverage across the web & television, and … an entrepreneur with unlimited opportunity and potential. 

All from using social media to talk on a topic that interested her, one she was very passionate about. You know: the things we call “niche marketing” and “social media marketing” and other such online business terms.

Except she just DID it… using the platforms as they were meant to be used, building a HUGE audience from her own interests with her own voice. 

Consider the things that have held you back from having a HUGE raving fanbase online, the reasons you don’t yet have brands and companies courting you for paid opportunities, why you aren’t “an internet sensation” yet yourself.

Then go read her story… again. ;-)

Everything she is doing is free, easy, and organic - and exactly what I teach in my training programs, and daily in my Private Brainstorming Group and in every Brainstorming Hour session.

And I’m not just teaching it. Next week pay attention to the newsstands at your grocery store checkout line - you’ll see ME featured in Woman’s World Magazine for my own niche. ;-)


I hope this inspires you, and encourages you to sit down and make a list of reasons you are not experiencing the same success - or at least in the “very profitable!” range with your business yet.

Take some time to examine those reasons, and then cross them off… and make things happen!

p.s. You really should join my Private Brainstorming Group if you haven’t already, because I teach all of this live twice a week in my Brainstorming Hour sessions. I’ll tell you more about those sessions in my next note, so keep an eye out for that.

In the meantime, I picked this up yesterday - the graphics alone are worth 14 bucks if it fits your niche!
