Project Makeover is the brainstorm of wardrobe stylist Susan Kanoff, www.agreatnewlook.com and make-up artist Grace Quintal  www.gracemake-up.com.

Susan and Grace have done makeovers in the past but this time they wanted to showcase the experience by expanding the scope of the services and chronicling it on video.  “There are so many makeover shows on television, but they all seem to focus on just one thing such as home, appearance or finances.” says Kanoff.  “Grace and I want to take things a step further providing a makeover encompassing all aspects of a person’s life”.

The two women  personally selected a team of professionals including a clothes designer, nutritionist /personal trainer, photographer, business and money coach, dating coach, interior designer, beauty services, life coach, and boutique owners.  The group’s mission is to empower women by giving them a totally new image and renewed sense of self, inside and out.  “A head to toe makeover can really boost self-confidence & self-esteem” says Quintal.

Next they needed to select someone to be the first recipient of this life changing experience. Published author and professional speaker Diane Darling seemed like the perfect candidate.  With Diane’s hectic schedule and extensive travel agenda, taking time for self-care has been last on her “to do” list.

“It’s better than being picked for “What Not to Wear!!” said Darling, author of The Networking Survival Guide. “Instead of just providing me with clothes, this team will help me improve inside and out. After years of focusing on others, it’s now my turn to pay attention to myself!”

Wardrobe stylist Susan Kanoff kicked off Diane’s makeover with a closet revamping session.  Together they excavated Diane’s closet, purging dated and ill-fitting clothes and identifying the styles and colors that work for Diane’s body shape.  Next, Diane will be taken on a shopping spree to choose clothes and accessories for her new wardrobe.  Diane will also get a new look to go along with her new style from make-up artist and owner of Grace Professional  Cosmetics, Grace Quintal and master colorist and stylist Steven Michael of Allure Salon in Andover.

“We hope that this makeover is one of many to come.  Our goal is to give Diane a professional and polished look to match the amazing and accomplished person she is!  Stay tuned!” said Kanoff.

I have been chosen by the Diva Toolbox as THE Authority!  Check it out below or visit the www.divatoolbox.com

Area of Authority: Money and Mindset Strategist

Company Name: DARE To Be Phenomenal

Website: www.daretobephenomenal.com

Industry: Business Coaching

Years of Experience: 8 years

Authority Statement: I am not your typical coach; I won’t make you struggle to find the answers on how to make your business thrive.  Instead, I’ll challenge you to rise above mediocrity and DARE To Be Phenomenal. Your mindset around money and the role it has played in your life was handed down to you just like an inheritance; it was given to you by those who influenced you as a child.  Maybe it was your parents, grandparents or other important figure. No matter who it was, we all have a money story that affects how much we make and keep each and every year. But it doesn’t have to be that way and you can change your money story.

As an accomplished business coach, author, speaker, radio host and entrepreneur I spend my time in the trenches working on solving the unique money problems of women business owners and entrepreneurs. I can always be counted on to deliver smart, innovative solutions so that you can turn your hectic and draining business into a thriving, highly lucrative, smooth running, money making reality.  Whether it’s personal or professional, or in many cases – both, I am particularly attuned to the unique challenges women face as they confront their money past and try to start or grow a business . I know, because I’ve been there.

Like many women I have made the transition from executive to entrepreneur.  When I started my business I was lost in a sea of confusion on how to make it successful.  I worked with some great mentors but none of them could help me achieve what I wanted so desperately to accomplish. Finally, I found the solutions that catapulted my business and now it’s my mission to show women how they too can have their business fit their lifestyle and NOT the other way around.

As a seasoned coach, I help women transform their business by busting through their  limiting beliefs, confronting their money past, stepping into their greatness, and harnessing their courage so that they can make achievable steps toward creating the business and life they want from a place of confidence, authenticity and power!

If you are a women business owner struggling to reach the financial freedom that you desire you’ve probably toyed with the idea of investing in a coaching program.

I can only imagine what you have said to yourself as you have contemplated making this investment.  Maybe you have said things like, “I’m not sure I can afford it” or “I don’t know if this program will help me.”  Whatever you have said to yourself I want you to consider something very important:  making a financial commitment will move you forward.

The best way to break the pattern you are in, the “stuck” place is to make a financial commitment to your goals.  When you have money invested in you and the future success of your business you have a very good reason to get off the dime and start taking action. Every single dollar you invest IS the reason!

For many entrepreneurs, myself included, I invest in coaching, training, and mentoring services to help me achieve my goals.  Something very extraordinary happens when you invest in yourself…you are more committed than ever to get your money’s worth.

How do you know which program to choose or which coach to pick from?  If you want to get your money’s worth (and frankly, who doesn’t) invest in a coach who’s fee is outside of your comfort zone. Reaching beyond your comfort zone is critical to stepping up in your business and ending the endless cycle of frustration.

Everyone’s comfort zone will be different.  For some $100 will be a huge stretch and for others $5,000 will be a stretch.  No matter which number is a stretch for you, make the commitment to invest in yourself. If you don’t, who will?

Last week I had the privilege of providing some laser coaching to several businesswomen at the Beabe Gallery Face Book Party. It was a great night with so many wonderful people in attendance.

During my coaching sessions what struck me was just how important coaching is to help people get unstuck, move forward, and find new perspectives. Now I can hear you saying, “Well of course you would say that, you’re a coach!” But, I am not saying it just because I am a coach. I see the value and benefit of coaching and I saw the shifts that people can make in just one coaching session.

So if you are thinking that coaching won’t help you achieve what you want in your business find out for sure by setting up a time to discuss your situation with a coach and see what happens. You might be very surprised at the results.
