Marva’s Background Story
An Air Force alumni, Marva deviated from the military as a way to be closer to her daughter.
After getting married to a military man, Marva was blessed with a girl in 2014.
Marva decided it was time for another switch. Life coaching was the new path she decided to take on. Whilst taking her course on becoming a life coach, Marva learnt so many business tips, strategies and ideas on how to start and grow her life coaching business.
Working as a Sales Coach
With so much information available online, it’s very easy for you to get lost whilst trying to learn and implement the tips you get from the different blogs, courses and email subscriptions.
As a sales coach, Marva helps her clients grow and establish their businesses by looking for areas of opportunity that provide a pathway for more clients. This can include strategies such as Social media marketing, email marketing, website content and handling discovery calls.
Leveraging your Mindset as an asset in your business and life.
A former client of Marva had a lot of self limiting beliefs and practices. Because of this, her business was very stagnant and her income stable at a small to average level.
Why men are so successful as compared to women in careers and business ventures
Marva argues that there’s 2 very important factors that largely contribute to this;
- Emotional - Women take everything to heart. And although this isn’t entirely a bad thing, it can serve to our disadvantage when negative emotions such as rejection and failure drive us into making bad business and career choices.
- Advocacy - Compared to women, men are always advocating for themselves. Be it a business idea or in the corporate world men believe and push for what they own with everything they have.
