Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing Joy Chudacoff, a personal coach and sister blogger. We discussed how she’ll never forget that fateful day when, at 28 years old, her boss uttered three simple words to her that would alter the entire course of her work history. Joy’s story of the challenges and triumphs of her entrepreneur’s journey, from her early days 20 years ago to today, will fill you with hope and confidence.

As a coach, Joy has helped dozens of women custom shape an inspired life but they had to be willing to work at it to get there. Joy shared with me the most common issues she sees her female entrepreneur clients face and how they can be overcome. She mentioned the financial hurdles, the need for a support network, the power of working within your strengths, and last but certainly no least, how important it is to allow yourself the time and space to find your true passion.

Enjoy this 15 minute interview with mega-entrepreneur Evan Carmichael.

As my loyal readers know, I am a huge fan of EvanCarmichael.com. Since my first day of finding Evan’s entrepreneur resource site, I am been enamoured. It’s thoughtful, it’s jam-packed with helpful and relevant information, and it has the best interviews of historical and current day mega-entrepreneurs available. If you need inspiration and know-how, it’s a must see.

Imagine my excitement when the company’s founder, Evan Carmichael, agreed to an interview!

Evan is a down-to-earth, well-rounded man with big dreams and the smarts to make those dreams come true. We discussed his beginnings as an entrepreneur and how he has built his business to where it is today. He shared how he approached the development of the software company he grew, the marketing research methods he applied, and then how EvanCarmichael.com blossomed out of his original personal website.

I also asked Evan to be frank with my readers about the specific challenges and opportunities that affect female entrepreneurs today. Evan has interviewed dozens of successful women and I felt he would give us a fresh perspective. We discussed finding inspirational role models, and the value of leadership and high self-esteem. We discussed the need to share and support each other in the entrepreneurial community. And he also told me where he hopes to take his business next.

Enjoy the interview and go visit Evan’s site. You won’t be disappointed!

Together, we are stronger.
