A Whole New Perspective on Life - Shift Happens Global
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal and business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Andrea Vallely, Co-Founder of Shift Happens Global, located in Delray Beach, FL, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We are transformative coaches, and we have created wellness retreats, personal coaching, and online programs that dissolve anxiety and struggle and build a solid foundation of health and wellbeing. Our specialty and passion is helping struggling parents achieve happier teens in weeks by dissolving the problem without medication. We see so much anxiety, depression, and pressure in teens and young adults these days we developed a program specifically for students. Results have shown those who have participated in our course increased their ability to handle stress well by 68%, and a 57.5% increase in their overall happiness. We are so passionate about helping our youth experience their greatest potential, and our program uncovers what is natural within all of us in an easy, fun manner. The best part is that our success rate is 100%. We have had hundreds of students go through our course, and we are passionate about sharing this simple solution with those who are struggling.
Tell us about yourself
I had ticked all the boxes on my 'this will make me happy' list. I was out of answers. I got curious after reading the book, Many Lives Many Masters by Dr. Brian Weiss. The message I received, we are here to love, was so strong I couldn't ignore it. I knew in my gut it was true. I left my six-figure corporate job to study happiness and self-discovery and get in touch with my innate spiritual nature. After experiencing my own transformation and seeing so clearly the world has nothing to do with our happiness, I felt deeply compelled to share what I had discovered. Knowing we all, no matter what our current circumstances, have the natural ability to see something fresh and new, and change our life, as a result, motivates me each day to continue to wave my flag. We do not need to struggle, we can relax into our true nature, and the way will be shown. It is inevitable when we get out of our own way that something fresh and new has to appear.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Hmm. I guess having our business grow organically. We do not advertise. Our business is word of mouth. I've been on radio and TV for the past ten years as an expert in my field, and that too happened organically.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Ha! Figuring out all the technical backend stuff. It's not my favorite, and we are in the process of switching platforms and launching our online courses. I love building the courses and coaching much more than building automation, and it's part of the gig if you want to have an online presence.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Get clear on your message. Research research research. Do a lot of that. And then do it again. And most importantly, run your business from your heart (with common sense) and do what you are compelled to do, regardless of what others do or say. Share YOUR message.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Follow the call of your heart. Do what you are passionate about doing, and the customers will show up. Continue to be a student of your field. If we are not coaching, my husband and I are learning and deepening our own understanding. It is our joy and what we love to do, so it's fun for us. We live what we teach.
