Meet Your Million-Dollar Woman Business Owner Expert
Angela Garmon
My business celebrated eight years in June. When I started ARG Coaching & Consulting Group, I had no idea what I was doing. In 2016, my life was like the 1989 movie Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones. Do you remember that movie? Exciting, confusing, nerve wrecking, but I was eager to see what would happen next.
I had this vision that I would build something great. I knew it was something that I had to do, but I didn’t know if it was going to be successful. That was the most frightening part. My family was probably looking at me through the proverbial window of my life, thinking, “What in the heck is she doing? Has she lost her mind?”
I am a first-generation entrepreneur. My sisters and I were taught to work a 9 to 5, stay in a job and we’ll be successful. But when I was let go after 13 years of employment due to an acquisition, I realized that my stability and success didn’t lie in a corporation. It lied within me.
Throughout the movie, this mysterious voice would reassure the main character, “If you build it, he will come.” That first year, I kept waiting for “them” (clients) to come. I had built it, but they never showed up. I felt like the voice had lied to me. (Smile).
The notion that all you have to do is create a space for dreams to come true and everything else would fall in line is partially true. Truth was, I had a great plan. What I lacked were resources and the network to execute the plan. I signed up for networking group after networking group. Shared my 30-second elevator pitch, day after day. People would always take my card or would come up to me and say “WOW, that was a great pitch.” But it takes more than compliments and a great pitch. I needed clients.
Over that time, I realized I wasn’t in the right rooms. I was in the rooms that were comfortable but not moving me forward. My business, though it supports the solopreneurs, they are not my “ideal” client. So, I spent the latter part of 2017 trying to figure out the best rooms for me to be in. I became strategic about where I spent my money, time and energy, joining organizations like NAWBO. The organizations are national. This was an important factor, because I wanted to expand my business reach nationwide. They provided me with resources and programs that taught me how to position my business in front of corporate and government clients. As a result, I learned how to scale and grow my business.
