Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Desiree Stafford, Founder of High Personal Impact, LLC, located in Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I help coaches, and other transformational business owners create high ticket offers and attract the right clients with simplicity and ease.
Tell us about yourself
I was a partner in a 7 figure business that failed and went back to corporate, feeling like I wasn't cut out to be an entrepreneur. My mother called me one day and suggested I look into becoming a life coach, which she had just heard about on the radio.
I looked into it and realized I'd been coaching people my entire life and loved it. I decided to focus on serving entrepreneurs because I realized that if I had a coach when my previous business closed, I would have seen my doubts as growth signs instead of stop signs. What motivates me daily is getting to do work I love with people I love. The money is very nice too.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Freeing myself to be myself is my biggest accomplishment. At first, I thought I needed to wait until I made a certain amount of money before I could be the real me. But when I finally got to 6-figure months, I was still swinging back and forth between feeling like I was "not enough" or "too much." That's when I decided to practice unconditionally loving and accepting myself. I'm having more fun and attracting amazing clients faster and easier.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The emotional rollercoaster. Becoming emotionally intelligent is a game changer.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Sell things that you're good at AND passionate about.
- Prioritize valuing yourself and your work.
- Trust that simple, aligned strategies are enough. Burnout is not a requirement for success.
