Coach Jaliel Thompson Helps Nursing Aide Go from Minimum Wage to Six Figures in 90 Days

BALTIMORE, Md. -- Jaliel Thompson, founder and CEO, Thompson J. Enterprises, LLC (DBA Jaliel Thompson Coaching), had so much success with his coaching business that he recently relaunched the brand to meet evolving client needs. As a result, his company is now able to take on larger clients and help them to get faster results. It seems to be paying off - in more ways than one. Clients are now seeing results that they thought impossible, but hoped were not.

For example, a woman in her mid-30s recently contacted Thompson to help her get out of financial dire straits. She had gone through a divorce and knew there was no way she could survive on her minimum wage nursing aide salary. Her goal was to land a job as an IT specialist that paid six figures. But how? Most would say she'd be lucky to land an entry-level job in a new field.

"I admit, this was a challenge I had not seen to date, but I was willing to work with her and confident that we could help her to change her life," Thompson says. "I'm all about the underdog; I've been one."

Thompson's team worked together to help this client meet her challenge head on. They revised her resume, found IT references in the field and provided her with the necessary resources and training so she could pass the exam for her IT certification. After 90 days, it happened. She landed a six-figure cyber security IT position with a government agency.

Thompson's team continued to support the woman in her new position until she felt comfortable and no longer required assistance. As a result, she's taken the strategies learned to maintain her position, has paid off her debt, purchased a home and even started a business where she works as an advocate to help others make the impossible possible.

"She's found her purpose," Thompson says. "Helping people to rediscover their passion through purpose is what we do - not just professionally, but personally too."

Whether people seek to achieve more balance, reduce stress, gain more self-esteem or reach any other personal or professional goal, Thompson and his team are ready to take on the challenge.

Consultations are free.

About Jaliel Thompson

Thompson transformed his life through mentoring and coaching. He's a certified professional life, executive and business coach who trained at Life Coach Institute of Orange County. Since 2012, he's been helping to edify, empower and enlighten people in all walks of life. Online and one-one-one coaching are available for men, women and families.

Atlanta Businessman Reveals Success Secrets in Debut Book

ATLANTA, Ga. -- Atlanta businessman, personal coach and author, Khigh Shotwell, founder of Puppetless World, has revealed the formula for his success in his debut book, "The Game is to be Sold, Not Told" (ISBN: 978-1734711400).

"The Game is to be Sold, Not Told" is a dynamic resource that teaches the art of programming as it relates to the human mind alongside valuable tools and techniques that one can utilize to take control of his/her life. But that's not all. The guiding principles shared by the author offers a glimpse into the spiritual world and how to harness the power of the mind to create the life desired.

Shotwell is a true testament to the authenticity of his philosophy that one can achieve anything with the right mindset. He went from being a child raised in a good environment to becoming a thug who was imprisoned for multiple felony convictions. His life took a turn for the better when he began to understand the power of the mindset coupled with good work ethics.

Today, Shotwell is the proud owner of a fragrance company called 6th Scents Work and the Founder of Puppetless World - a spiritual entity focused on the spiritual development for the purposes of influencing the physical reality. He is also an avid traveler who takes several international and domestic vacations every year with his family.

"The Game is to be Sold, Not Told" is Shotwell's debut book; however, the clarity, authority and depth of his writing gives no indication to his experience.

"I want to show how the human Mindset has been influenced and programmed by the hierarchy (Puppet Masters) to think and behave in certain ways," says Shotwell. "I wanted to show that with the proper understanding of how the mind works as it relates to its environment and universe that most people can create the reality that they want to live in."

In a pre-release of the book, one reader said: "There are many books that discuss the Law of Attraction but not many take the perspective of breaking it down and showing how it relates to people of color. This book is comprehensive, and readers will be inspired by the guiding principles to improve their lives."

The concepts introduced in Shotwell's book are easy to understand and will resonate with the Average Joe dreaming of success but limited by his present circumstances and resources.

"The Game is to be Sold, Not Told" is available in paperback format for a retail price of $20.

For further information about the author or to purchase a copy of the book, visit: https://www.puppetlessworld.com/.

I Think an Idea: Helping Start-Ups to Celebrities Build Brands for the Future

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- There's no better time to build a brand than now. At least that's what Hugh Benjamin, founder, 'I Think an Idea,' a digital marketing agency, believes. He says, "It's time to 'plant seeds for the future' because the future is about to change and brands need to get up to speed. The world is in lockdown. Now's the time to think about what's ahead."

Company leaders are now asking questions like: "Do I really need that 10,000 square foot office or can we go virtual?" "Do we really need an in-house marketing staff or can we think outside the box?" COVID-19 is making people re-evaluate new ways of doing things.

Benjamin's visionary thinking has been helping businesses do just that since 2009. He works with them to rethink what they've always done. In fact, his agency has helped smaller businesses outrank large corporations like Home Depot, Walmart and Amazon on Google. His creative SEO strategies yield top Google rankings.

"While our agency's innovative strategies might not make sense today, they will create revenue and results in three to five years," he says.

That's likely why blockbuster companies such as Mercedes Benz, Hillstone Restaurants, PowerBlock, The Sliding Door Co., Guess Jeans and Aramark Uniform Services have put their trust in him to help with needs ranging from SEO and digital marketing to brand building, consulting, events and reputation management.

Benjamin combines his business savvy and creative ingenuity to create positive calls to action. He's a "company catalyst." He gets things moving in the right direction which aligns well with the company's mantra: Focus. Think. Results.

And, he gets results. Big ones. For example, he helped one company acquire 3,000 B2B accounts by building a virtual call center and innovating a face-to-face sales model to a phone webinar division that generated millions. This not only reduced overhead, but shifted the way the company does business. The 3,000 accounts were acquired in 17 months using virtual consultations like Join.Me and Zoom to convert and grow the company from startup to landing on the top-fastest growing companies in Fortune 1000, Bloomberg, LA Business Journal, Deloitte Top 100 and others.

In addition to working with large corporations, Benjamin also has a solid history working for celebrities and their businesses. Will and Jada Smith, Justin Timberlake, Magic Johnson, Stephen King and Mark Wahlberg are all on his roster. One of the creative projects he worked on for the Smiths landed in People Magazine.

Working with luxury real estate companies is also an 'I Think an Idea' niche. Airbnb, Luxury Retreats and VRBO owners reach out to the company to maximize occupancy and revenue generating ideas.

Most recently, 'I Think an Idea' worked to promote the exclusive Casa Fryzer mansion in Cabo San Lucas. Within the first month, his influence, PR and digital marketing expertise was a catalyst for a Joe Jonas and DNCE getaway. There was also interest in the property from large brands such as Revolve and Victoria's Secret to use the location for upcoming photo shoots.

'I Think an Idea' can help with services ranging from business development and branding to SEO, video content, PR, social media, web design and more.

"I help companies figure out where the holes are. Where are they losing revenue? Why? I get them to pay attention. That's why clients keep coming back for more," he says.

About Hugh Benjamin

Hugh Benjamin is used to hitting targets. In fact, he started his career in the military as a U.S marine where he was a recognized sharp shooter. He's got a proven track record for growing companies from two employees to 200 using his unique brand of high-energy and responsible scaling strategies. He's grown and assisted many companies with their marketing on and offline and his integrated business development approach has made him a leader in the field.

As a business coach/CEO for hire and working with companies across the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Benjamin recently talked at the Sydney Convention Center to more than 10,000 people about business development and the importance of mindset. His diversified skill palette has landed him projects for companies doing 400 to 900 million in revenue as well as for companies just getting off the ground. His systems and scalability create sustainable growth.

The future is here. Build it and they will come.

Amidst COVID-19 Outbreak International Network of Coaches Emerge to Support Their Communities and One Another

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- "Right now, people need support. The coronavirus scare is bringing many people's lives to a halt. Fear is taking over as everyone preps for the worst-case scenario. I understand people must ensure the safety of themselves and their families, but once the essential supplies are stocked, then what? Life must go on," says Lauren Wallet, Founder of The Leverage Network (aka MALVA).

"We've got to keep our businesses thriving, our relationships intact, and our mindset healthy if we're going to emerge from this moment of global panic as victors rather than victims. And I'm determined we do."

Serial entrepreneur Lauren Wallet, also known as 'The Creativity Coach,' optimizes businesses and runs two online business schools, one for coaches and one for virtual assistants.

In late 2019, Wallett began to assemble an international network of coaches that could provide support to anyone under any circumstance. And now in 2020, Leverage has launched to uplift personal and professional lives at a uniquely challenging time for humanity.

This diverse network offers to coach to everyone from successful CEOs to emerging business owners to creatives, and from brand new parents to couples on the verge of divorce. Leverage offers modalities as expansive as positive mindset coaching, hypnotherapy and EFT, and as down-to-earth as structure, accountability, branding, and PR.

The Leverage Network is based on hand selection, excellent credentials, and direct referrals. These coaches don't just look good on paper, they've all been personally vetted, and have experienced real-life results from coaches in the group. You know that if you work with one of these coaches, you're going to get the results you need and that if you have a niche problem or concern, they will refer you to someone who specializes in exactly that. Through Leverage you're not just accessing one coach, you're accessing a community of coaches to support you.

The Leverage Network outsource, hire, share testimonials and skill swap with one another. Referrals allow members to boost each other's businesses and create additional income, leveraging their own network of contacts to connect the right people to the right coaches.

Each Leverage member gives a referral fee based on the size of their offering. They share insight and income and prosper together. During its 6-month incubation period, Leverage generated tens of thousands of dollars in referrals amongst its members and elevated hundreds of lives.

"Businesses, partnerships, and personal endeavors must continue to grow, and Leverage is doing that, from America to Antigua. The Leverage Network offers coaching services via phone, Skype, FaceTime and Zoom, so it's simple for people anywhere in the world to get the support they need to thrive," says Wallett.

The Creativity Coach, Lauren Wallett opens the Business School for Coaches

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- The Creativity Coach, Lauren Wallett has opened the Business School for Coaches with her inaugural 90 day accelerator program, Simply Irresistible, which teaches coaches and VA's how to create multiple irresistible offers that keep clients coming back for more.

A rising star in Hollywood behind the scenes, Wallett has coached celebrities, CEO's, coaches and consultants. From New York Times bestselling authors to political figures to actors to reality TV stars live on NBC, she's making a name for herself transforming the lives of Hollywood elite. Her latest endeavor, a business school for coaches, combines over a decade of successful lessons from her entrepreneurial journey.

She's the coach that coaches use to take their businesses to the next level. Described as "magic incarnate" and "life changing" by her clients, she's raved about publicly. "A sheer force of nature. This woman revolutionizes entrepreneurial businesses" - cites a fellow coach on her Instagram page.

"I believe that creativity is the most powerful untapped resource we have," says Wallett. "I help people access theirs so that they can do what they're truly capable of - which is really anything they put their minds to."

It's not arts and drama style creativity - Wallett give creative strategies for life and business.

"The direction is always freedom. The path is possibilities between the binary of 'have to' and 'should.' That's where real magic lives. When we access our creative powers, we conceive of and birth entirely new realities for ourselves. And we make more money."

"I went from making $4000 per month to $75,000 per month after three months of working with Lauren," says Anna B David, CEO of Launch Pad Publishing.

Wallett walks her talk. Two years ago, she followed her intuition and moved to Los Angeles.

"I knew what a risk it was starting over from scratch, but I always follow my heart. When you've outgrown our old life, you need one that fits your expansion. I'd been holding myself back thinking that smaller meant safer but it didn't. I quit pretending I was anything less than super magical and powerful beyond measure and now that's exactly what I teach my clients how to do too. The more I experimented with revealing my true nature, the more I've been embraced by the world."

She shut down her company in South Africa (which had serviced clients from Kraft Heinz to luxury Desroches Island to the international accelerator program, TechStars) and was approved a green card for exceptional ability as a celebrity entrepreneur.

"The secret ingredient is to add more you. If your life isn't what you dreamt it would be, it's because you're not adding all of you into the equation."

Wallett cites speaking on connection to abundance at Neil Strauss's intensive as a pivotal moment in her career. "Words are the spells of our lives and looking back, I was speaking my own dream into reality during that presentation."

Wallett draws inspiration from multiple sources. Empowered by the works of Robert Fritz and William Whitecloud (both of whom have appeared on her hit podcast, "The Creativity Coach") she trained with Oprah's life coach, Martha Beck in her Way Finder coach training.

"Coaches need coaches and I continuously invest in myself. Learning is leverage. Simply Irresistible teaches how I've learnt to captivate communities through my unique "outside the box and inside the heart methodology. Working with me is like climbing into an escalator - I'll take anyone to the top. My methodology has worked for products to places to people."

Wallett focuses on exponential growth and emotional expansion for her clients. The underscore of it all is creative structure.

She works with people who are multi-passionate, impact-driven and ambitious. People like her.

"I know how to activate latent potential. Business optimization is modern day alchemy. It takes love, play and magic - and yes, it is as fun as it sounds," she laughs.
