Vladamir Adonis is a Micro-Commitment Strategist dedicated to the development of lead generation. Vladamir shares his story of failure from his first business venture costing him $80,000 leading him to his passion of marketing. Marketing is a broad field yet he manages to provide entrepreneurs with the tips, tools, strategies and systems to successful marketing that converts. It all started with a dream and asking that question how else can success be define? About 15 years ago I started working in higher education for an online university. I started off helping that department collect documents in order to help complete student file. Because of determination and my work ethic I worked my way up to an executive level position. About 5 years into my executive position I know that it wasn’t something I wanted to be doing for the rest of my life… About the Man behind the strategy: So I ask myself the question if this isn’t it what else can I do Something inside of me told me I should start my own business. Through research I knew i wanted the business to meet a few criteria. I wanted to start a business that is in demand and would be around regardless of what is happening in the world. At that time the online dating industry was very popular and it met the criteria that I was looking for in business. I found and hired a programmer to build me a dating/dance type website in order that I would be able to launch my first business as an entrepreneur. Fast forward a year later the site was launched. But to my surprise I had a hard time getting members to join. I had paid close to 30K for this project so I wasn’t going to just put my hand up and say oh well I tried… I went on a mission to learn how to do lead generation, marketing, membership growth, facebook ads in order that I can learn the skills needed to make this project work Fast forward about 7 months later I was learning and my dating site started to gain some momentum Shortly after gaining some momentum I learned that I was in violation of copyright laws. The dating site had a dance component which allowed members the ability to update videos of them dancing. Since i didn’t have the right to any of that content I had to close down the site to avoid legal ramification… I felt defeated because this appeared to be the end of my entrepreneurial journey… Than I decided to take what I had learned about lead generation and about marketing and started to host workshops in my area… I started to host these workshops for two reasons. First I wanted to see if the skill I had learned could benefit other businesses. Second I thought maybe one day I can use that knowledge to turn it into a business After hosting over 60 local marketing workshops and helping other businesses dial in their marketing I felt comfortable with my craft At which point I decided to leave my employer and start my business full time. Today I specialize in lead generation and in marketing helping businesses generate leads and make more sales. I recently started a facebook group called black creators connect. The goal of that group is to support other entrepreneurs and provide a space to connect and gain the knowledge and skills for a better life and a better business Learn more about Vladamir at: vladadonis.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/anika-wilson/message

Daisy Vogt helps moms of special needs kids regain their energy, positivity and motivation. Each life and family is distinct but there is always room for positive change and when mom is happy, the whole family is happier. About Daisy: Im Daisy V., Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Biohacker, Domestic Engineer and step mom of two amazing kids - one with a degenerative disease called MPS VI. For years I was struggling to find a way to help my special needs step son get healthier but also keep my own health and mind under control. My family warned me that life with a special needs child would be difficult, yet I chose this life because I love my husband and his kids. After a lot of trial and error I realized that there are too few resources to help caretakers of special kids get everything under control and so I decided to focus on helping other families in similar situations.  What makes me different is that I understand their struggle, the isolation, the psychological pain they go through, the commitment difficulties - yet I know that life can be better and this is what I help them achieve.
