Own Your Power

Carol Dunlop has been the owner of Optimum Body Sculpting for the last four years. She focuses on weight management services including personal training. As an active member of the Own Your Power Community, we have seen Carol in action sharing her passion with the rest of us who are working on achieving healthy bodies! Read on to see why Carol loves what she does!

What does your business do?

I coach Diet Victims to lose weight and keep it off

Any interesting fact(s) you can share about your industry?

The weight loss industry is a 36 Billion dollar industry. There are over 30,000 diets registered with the FDA but still over 34 million people listed as obese.

Most popular problem you help people solve?

Getting rid of excess fat without having to use lots of weights and machines

What year did you kiss Corporate America goodbye and why do you hope to never go back?

In 1997. I don’t do well with authority figures because I always want to change the rules

How do you stay motivated?

Watching the progress and successes of my clients and knowing that I helped them to achieve their successes.

What’s a bold move you took that turned your business around?

Created my radio show. It has put me in touch with so many different people and led to great connections that I otherwise wouldn’t have had.

One thing that you would change if you could? Getting my brain to focus on one project at a time. I have so many thoughts about new projects going through my head at any one time that if I don’t write them down immediately, they are lost.

What’s your favorite area on www.ownyourpower.ning.com?

Networking through adding friends and getting to know people, building relationships

What’s a unique talent that you have that might surprise us?

I love to knit!

Last time you laughed until you cried?

The end of Jan. 09 when I visited my new grandson and all 3 of the grandkids were just having a blast being kids

It’s sadly time for your last meal on earth…what would it be? Fried chicken, rice and gravy and green peas.

Have you used Social Networking to gain new contacts/business? If so, what have been any results?

YES! Connections for my business, radio show and joint ventures, plus new relationships with people that I would have otherwise never met.

If you could do it all over again, what is the biggest mistake you’d avoid next time around? Not getting involved in marketing sooner, not in advertising but marketing, low cost, low budget stuff that no one teaches you how to do, except for you, Simone

Most exciting moment that you got your time to shine? Speaking with 8-Time Mr, Olympia Lee Haney on his www.totaLeeFitradio.com show! It was awesome for someone of his stature and reputation to say that they are honored to know me! Whoo Hoo!

What’s in your cd player/ipod right now? TI and Justin Timberlake

If you could have superpowers, what would you want?

Are you burned out? Well, we probably know why… One of the biggest obstacles that entrepreneurs have is learning how to LET GO, AUTOMATE, DELEGATE, and TRAIN. Mainly it’s letting go of the feeling that only YOU can do it right or you HAVE TO do it alone. You’ll never have financial freedom with that mindset. Stop waiting on someday to come and get the help you deserve!

The other main reason is that you don’t have a system in place. You’re constantly putting out fires and don’t have time to even think!

When you are in business for yourself, you can never have too much time management and organization. Some of the most important things to have are systems in place, so you are no longer a slave to your business.

During this call, we’ll go over 7 Systems you can implement to help streamline your business to run like a well-oiled machine. The other beautiful catch is that many of these systems will give your business the ILLUSION of being bigger than it really is. (Even if you’re a one-man operation!)
*We’ll provide you with some tools that are FREE or some that ARE VERY LOW COST that you can implement immediately. The tips and tools will allow you to run your business smoothly, even if you are STILL making the transition from a full-time job.

* You’ll learn how to develop focus days and set boundaries

*We’ll offer tips on how to get FREE HELP! (interns, volunteers)

*How to have access to an advisory board (legal, finance, debt management, etc)

*Learn how to get your own personal assistant who can make calls for you (Improve the prestige of your business with no high overhead)

Tell a friend and get ready for an eye opening and FUN discussion.

Instructor for this event is:
Simone Kelly-Brown, Holistic Business Coach and Life Coach
