🎤 Speaker 1:
hi I’m angel tussy from media Firestorm and we just wanted to highlight one of our Superstar clients who’s currently going through the media Firestorm program Tabitha is here with us hey Tabitha go ahead and give us your name your business and tell us where you’re coming from I am Tabitha Jones with empowered leadership coaching and I am based in the San Francisco Bay Area I love it I love it so tell us a little bit about um where your business was tell us about your business and where it was before you joined media Firestorm so it was very inconsistent but I’ll tell you I was very frustrated because I was spending so much time on social media so much time talking to people who weren’t listening and constantly going is this thing on is anybody out there um and it just wasn’t really having fun it felt like I was shame to my desk and I was just constantly chasing people trying to get people to pay attention to me and and um yeah it was a it was a little bit exhausting I can feel you I can feel your pain for sure well I know you responded to a post probably in our needa Guest Facebook group and Ally reached out to you we started sending you some emails what were some of the doubts that you had about joining media Firestorm and what was it that turned that into a yes for you for me it was just that I had invested in other things and was continuously trying to make it work work um and something good comes from everything right I won’t say that any program that I have tried has been bad um it just didn’t always feel quite right so there was an email that came out and I think you had just wrapped up a some kind of a retreat or an on-site thing and it was just so jazzed and I’m sending this email from the pool side and you know it finally it just had such great information about some successes of clients and I got really excited um and it was probably five or six months after i’ had spoken to Ellie the first time so I reached out and here we are I love it I love it that you took your time even right you didn’t feel like pressured or rushed to jump into it so what made you think like when you first started and jumped into media Firestorm what what was different about us than something previous you had joined it was definitely not sitting on social media all day which is coming from corporate right my life was lot different before I became an entrepreneur and so I didn’t know I didn’t know what I didn’t know and you know for some people being online all the time works and social media is great it’s a great Avenue for reaching people in different ways but it just wasn’t letting me and my personality come through where with podcasting I was like oh this is fun I can talk to people it’s building up my public speaking um it’s definitely getting more attention because busy women in corporate who I work with are generally listening to podcasts while they’re driving to work or while they’re flying places so it just felt like such a better fit um and then adding in that 90-day author piece um was just like the cherry on top so there wasn’t any way I could say no at that point that is one of our favorite things is when people say I just couldn’t say no it was just it was just so good all right so Tabitha where are you at now what would you say is the difference from when you started to the successes that you’ve experience through media Firestorm now I definitely am feeling a lot more comfortable in my own skin if that makes sense I don’t feel like I’m searching for the thing all the time I feel like I found it um I’ve made some incredible relationships with podcast hosts I’ve been booking speaking events so now especially with my book coming out um today actually uh with my book coming out I’ve got companies that are hey we want you to come speak we want to buy your book we want to I actually have one company that’s going to host a book launch party uh hopefully in early October it just it’s so much more aligned with me and who I am and so I love it I love being out with the people I like getting out and sharing insight and I love when I get to see all the faces and the light bulbs coming on as I’m sharing strategies I love it I can see your face lighting up just as you’re thinking about that and talking about it what do you think you’re able to do now that you weren’t doing before um well definitely I feel like I don’t have to be chained to my computer sending DMS um hoping to God somebody’s going to respond uh again works for some people in some spaces for me not so much um definitely feeling that feeling really energized about my program I’ve got a program that’s aligned with my book so it’s a get promoted in three months or get promotion ready in three months boot camp so it’s very well aligned and I am just looking forward to the next couple of months where things are going to pick up and stay consistent CA what are you hoping that the book in the course like what impact are you hoping that’s going to make on others so for some people it will be absolutely opening their eyes to getting promoted is not all about working hard all the time or being behind the scenes a lot of it has to do with getting visible getting out in front of people and really getting comfortable and confident with your unique value and bringing it out in the workplace so that people who don’t work closely with you can see it so the book will absolutely impact career I also believe that bringing people into the boot camp is going to help them with that additional accountability piece we all know that we’ll do something for so long but if there’s not someone behind us pushing for me you know it’s weight loss if somebody’s not standing us standing by me with a scale every week I’m like yeah whatever I can just binge this week nobody’s looking well promotion ready is very similar I’ll be there pushing you along inspiring you motivating you holding you accountable and making sure that you’re achieving those great goals so I’m really excited about all of that and uh just so excited to have this book out of my head it’s been taking up space that it didn’t need to I can feel that for sure right but isn’t that beautiful like once it’s done this is something we’ve always wanted to do not only now do you have the book out you have a vehicle to go and share that right getting booked on podcast and booking all of those speaking opportunities Tabitha what would you say to someone who’s watching and is thinking about taking the next step with media fire what would you what would you say to them I’d say that it’s 100% worth it um it is not I wish I had found media Firestorm earlier on um I’ve tried all different things like I said different sales programs different everything technology programs and they’ve I’ve taken something from all of them but this moved the fastest kept me taking action on a consistent basis and really aligned with me as my authentic self and I’d say if you’re on the fence think about why you’re on the fence what is it that is keeping you there are you thinking that if you just keep pumping out more social media content it’s going to work um because maybe it might but if you’re thinking you know what I really would love to have more fun and get out and start talking to people definitely check into media Firestorm it is worth it 100% thank you for that
