Growing up in North Carolina, all I ever wanted to do was be an actress. But my parents thought studying drama in college was a waste of time. They were right. I studied Journalism.And as soon as I graduated with my B.A. I hot-footed it to Los Angeles to be discovered. The truth is, I was a terrible actress…but I was a terrific waitress! Instead, I ended up getting married and having two amazing sons.Being a mother is everything to me. I was able to stay home and raise my kids for the first 5 years. Then I got divorced and I had to get a regular job. I became an executive assistant to the CEO of a marketing firm.It was a good job, but I was miserable. I went from spending all day with my kids to just a few waking hours. So, in 1999 when my boss retired, I decided not to get another job. I was going to be a freelance writer. I struggled at first, doing virtual assisting and writing press releases. Then one day I landed a client who wanted me to write a 52 autoresponder series. (I didn’t even know what an autoresponder was!)I learned quickly though. Soon I was writing long-form sales letters…but I didn’t have a clue what I was doing at first. Then I discovered some of the greatest legends to ever hold a pen…and I mentored directly with them. Since those early days, I’ve gone on to write in all kinds of niches: personal development, finance, real estate, survivalist, dating, education, commerce, nutrition, martial arts, firearms, medical, coaching, non-profits, entertainment…sheesh, there have been a lot of others too.👉 I decided to take the copywriting world by storm in 1999 when it was mostly male-dominated👉 My personal mentors were marketing legends Gary Halbert, John Carlton, and Dan Kennedy👉 There weren't any visible women in the info-marketing world at the time👉 When I held a live event, my attendees told me they hated testosteronal copy 👉 I took a year off to explore how men and women respond differently to sales psychologically👉 I created a new marketing system called *The She Factor*👉 I was named as one of the *Greatest Copywriters of All Time (Past and Present)* and among
