Description

It seems everywhere we look, the primary topic of conversation is about COVID-19.  There’s no denying that COVID has affected so many aspects of our lives, including our businesses.  In this episode, we’ll be talking with a Coach and Consultant whose life and business was affected directly by the virus. We’ll hear about her COVID journey.

Known as THE Business Coach for Misfits, Maria Tan (Maria Kathlyn Tan) empowers non-conformists across the globe to embrace the magic of running their own business, and create success tailored to their lifestyles.

Before coaching online, she was a cross-cultural business and communications consultant who worked with executives from all over the world and coached over 1000 professionals. She’s seen in Forbes, Entrepreneur, HuffPost, Elephant Journal, Pick the Brain, and Addicted2Success and was the only Asian woman featured in The Money Code and How to Crack It, a book that debuted at #14 on Amazon US.

Maria’s 1000+ clients range from side-hustlers to new entrepreneurs to American Ivy-league graduates to diplomats. Whether you’re just starting to consider becoming your own boss, or looking to scale an established business, it’s important to focus (and re-focus) on the crucial components that set you up for success.

Here are the takeaways:

• Be mindful of your energy and capacity to work.
• Be transparent with your clients and followers
• If you know where you’re headed, there’s no point rushing into anything.
• Have the courage and integrity to not just talk big, but show up big.
• Don’t give a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
• Engage with your experience. That’s how we heal, thrive, become and evolve.
• Sometimes we need to write from the scars, not the wounds.  Sharing the shifts can reveal that what we used to believe may have been limited or need to be redefined.
• We can normalize transparency and humanity through our businesses by showing our imperfections and vulnerability. The market wants to feel connected and understood.
• We can serve and connect in a deeper way with our market by being transparent with our stories, pains, and motivations to persevere that we, ourselves have processed and are at peace with.
• Being a misfit can be an asset, not a liability.
• To be successful in business, it is important to see beyond the money to your vision.  Operating from your vision and ensuring your business has all the necessary elements can ensure your success.
