078 | Jenna Phillips Ballard the Original Unicorn
Jenna Phillips Ballard began her career in 2006 as a certified personal trainer and life coach for celebrities and has been featured on Dr. Phil and The Doctors. Halfway through her career, she realized that she had a bigger calling.
She's on a mission to motivate and inspire as many people as possible to become leaders and make this world a better place. She discovered the power of Self Love when she made a full recovery from brain damage after waking up from a coma in 2000. Her commitment to making a full recovery depended solely on how she thought of herself, and she realized that her purpose is to empower others to break through their limiting beliefs and create an unforgettable life.
In 2016, she co-founded Ascension Leadership Academy with her husband and together they have coached hundreds of people into their greatness. She is also the founder of Unicorn University - an online membership community where women never spend another day being beige, broke, or behaved.
How many ideas for your business have you let pass you by, without taking any action?
If I had to guess, you probably allow 90% of your ideas to slip right on by, and that needs to stop. The time to take action is NOW, not when you feel "ready."
This week's guest on Success Unfiltered, Jenna Phillips Ballard, firmly believes the in the saying, "Don't Wait. Start now," and has used it to fuel the momentum in her business.
When Jenna was 17 years old, she experienced a head trauma accident which left her in a coma, and with brain damage. When she awoke, her doctor didn't believe that she'd ever be able to finish high school.
Jenna never allowed these negative thoughts cloud her determination to succeed. Jenna dedicated herself to graduate on time.
It is all about the mindset and how you look at each event that occurs in your life. It's time to stop thinking that you'll have more money, more time or an original idea. Instead, take action NOW on what you do have and have control of!
If you've ever put a dream business idea on hold because you don't think you're ready, then this episode of Success Unfiltered is a MUST LISTEN!
Enjoy, and thank you for listening and tuning into Success Unfiltered!

But, by using her platforms on Facebook and Instagram, she was able to realize that she gets to be empowered and inspired, rather than be a victim.
