Limited Sight to Limitless Vision

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dr. Mary Hemphill, Founder and CEO of The Limitless Lady, located in North Carolina, USA.

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

We show you and your organization how to break through limiting beliefs that inhibit your leadership as well as provide a research-based curriculum and strategies that take you & your employees to the next level as transformational leaders. Through our customized leadership program, we educate, engage, and elevate individuals to embrace their limitless potential. The Limitless Leader Program can help prepare you and your team for success and provide skills that will not only improve leadership performance and impact but also will increase productivity and your bottom line.

Tell us about yourself

I am a leadership expert & development coach, K-16 educator & administrator, author, & motivational speaker. With over 17 years of professional experience as a teacher, administrator, state director, & university professor, I continuously work to understand the importance of fusing education, empowerment, & leadership together as I work with learning & working communities & speak to audiences across the country. I hold a Ph.D. in Leadership Studies & have led, coached, & impacted close to 45,000 educational and corporate leaders around the world on transformational & innovative strategy, self-empowerment, & leadership development. I believe that in order to show up in the world as our most authentic & powerful selves, we must break through limiting beliefs that inhibit us from reaching the next level as transformational leaders. If we want to create opportunities & pathways that shift our world in a more positive direction, then we need young adults, learning communities, & organizations who are prepared to lead the movement!

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

As a woman of color who started a business with no formal business training, our biggest accomplishment has been creating a sustainable model of business that is now providing opportunities for other women of color to create and build businesses of their own and break generational patterns of financial dependence. We are extremely proud to now offer startup business coaching for soloprenuers, womenprenuers, and entrepreneurs by using the system we have built over the past four years.

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

One of the hardest things that come with being a business owner is determining how to serve your client in the most authentic way possible. Social media and the widespread, ever-changing nature of technology can create imposter syndrome if you are not grounded in who you are and who you serve. There will always be someone offering more, making more, promising more, but as long as you are consistently reflecting, evolving, and growing as a business owner, it helps you to stay close to the true you!

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

I would say that everyone has a purpose inside them that deserves to be birthed into the world. Only you can deliver your gift the way it was intended to, and when you begin the process of starting, running, or growing a business, the goal is to find the sweet spot where you can make an impact and an income at the same time. When you discover that gift, that product, or that service, it will never feel like "work."

We are excited to have just published our first affirmation planner, the iAffirm Limitless Leader Planner, available on Amazon. The words you choose to speak over your life and the lives of others can either shatter generational patterns or perpetuate generational bondage. When I started speaking affirmations, I immediately noticed my life shifting into alignment with the positivity, increased self-esteem, healing, positive energy, & wellbeing infused into each statement. If you are ready to start speaking life to your life, then check out the iAffirm Limitless Leader Planner as a go-to leadership tool!
