Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in coaching but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Holly Jeackson, Founder of Holly Jean Jackson LLC, located in Raleigh, NC, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Business owners hire me to master the art and science of real success because most lack direction, action, and results. So, I help define and design a business roadmap for impactful visibility, intentional profitability, and endless sustainability.

Bottom line, Without action, nothing changes, and if nothing changes, why do it?

Tell us about yourself

I am Holly Jean Jackson, Holistic Business Coach, Speaker, Podcast Host, Author, and founder of Business Builder Throw Down. My career spans from technology to communications as well as organizational change, public relations, and content strategy. I have dedicated over 12 years to helping business leaders get their groove back physically, mentally, and emotionally. I led a Local to Global Policy Initiative to influence future leaders' impact on communities. Fun Fact: I played in Carnegie Hall's first chair clarinet and am a Black belt in karate. My Transformational Coaching Method takes a holistic and logistical approach to success. After all, one can't have massive success in business without a life of equal or greater success.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Publishing my first book, Inspiration Contagion, Health Secrets for Raving Success, has been a big moment for me. With my book launch team, we hit best-seller status in 3 categories and #1 new release in 4 categories. Most importantly, we are transforming and healing lives while igniting a movement around inspiration. I am most proud of this moment in business as it's healing lives and having a ripple effect in communities.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Continually navigating uncertainty can be a challenge. Life is constantly throwing us curveballs. As a business owner and leader, we have to lead the way and walk the talk of pivoting, leading, and growing on a daily basis. And, of course, we are human, so there's some fear there. We are challenged with facing our fears every day. But in doing so, we experience freedom and transform lives around us as we serve, mentor, and support our employees and clients.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Hire a coach or a mentor who can help accelerate your growth and see your blindspots.
  2. Get specific on who you serve (i.e., niche down). You can't serve everyone, and marketing is easier when you are clear on who your ideal client is.
  3. Know the problem you solve. Be able to share it anywhere, anytime with anyone. Share it in the language of your ideal client. And ask for introductions to people who face this problem. Do these three things, and your business growth will accelerate!
