[Legacy post: Small Business Talent] Are there goals that you want to achieve for your business and your life — but going after them seems almost impossible?
Well, if you’re uncertain about how you’ll take that next step forward, then I think you’re going to find today’s interview inspiring.
I’m joined on the podcast today by Stephanie Wetzel-Cottrell. A little background first – Stephanie began her career in corporate marketing 13 years ago. She worked for a variety of interesting companies, including McClatchey Broadcasting, Connexion Technologies, and Fast Lane, to name just a few.
In 2010, Stephanie made the leap to full time self-employment, founding Blue Elephant Creative. Her company is a web development and marketing strategy firm focused on helping small businesses and solo entrepreneurs to grow their revenue.
By the way, Stephanie is also busy pursuing her personal passion. She’s the writer behind TradingPounds.com, a 2000-readers-strong site dedicated to helping people lose the weight and gain the life they want.
Over the past several years, Stephanie has made a lot of dramatic changes in her life. She’s lost over 200 pounds, left her corporate career behind, launched two new businesses, published her first book, and was married this past June.
Today, Stephanie will be sharing her journey of personal and professional transformation with us on the podcast. Don’t miss her inspiring story! (Scroll down to the Podcast Player and listen now.)
