Walking into what Wendy affectionally refers to as her “70’s disco condo” for our interview I could tell right off the bat that Wendy and I were going to get along. Her carefree spirit and welcoming energy made me instantly feel like we had been friends forever. 

This ability to make people feel comfortable and at ease plays a major role in her business. Wendy has been in marketing, branding and advertising for years, but a year and a half ago she decided to leave the agency life and go out on her own. Within a year Wendy was matching her corporate salary and doing it all from the comfort of her own home. 

In this episode we talk about so many different things, but the heart of the conversation is centered around the idea that you don’t have to settle for a job or work environment that doesn’t fulfill you. Wendy took the courageous steps to create a brand of her own and although she had fears and doubts she pursued her vision and now works helping small businesses make their mark. 

Here are some of the things we discuss: 

-Wendy’s experience going back to work 6 weeks after having a baby 

- The 5 year question Wendy’s business coach asked her that gave Wendy a more clear picture for her business

- Eliminating toxic people and anything that cause you to doubt yourself

- Why Wendy needed to mentally and physically cleanse herself of everything from her former agency life to allow her true talent to shine 

- Learning to truly believe it when people compliment you and your work 

- Setting up “sacred times” for you and your business

- Creating workflow processes that will allow you to manage stress 

- Where Wendy’s inspiration comes from 

- The process Wendy goes through with her clients to flesh out what it is they actually want their business and message to convey 

- The ONE thing you should absolutely be doing to build a successful brand 

- Where Wendy’s love of Black & White cookies came from and where you can find the best Black & White cookie in Atlanta
