From Michigan Mama to Multi-Passionate Entrepreneur

Embracing ADD and Empowering Focus Variant Entrepreneurs

Behind the person

My story

Let me take you on a journey through my entrepreneurial adventure. It all began with a Michigan mama of two, who decided she wanted to create a way to utilize her IT degree…

Nearly 10 years ago, I took a wild and crazy leap into the blogging world and started follow My Arrow

As I navigated the ups and downs of blogging, I stumbled upon a true gem called Ultimate Bundles. They offered these incredible collections of classes and eBooks that didn’t break the bank, and for a budget-conscious gal like me, it was a match made in heaven. I snagged a few bundles to enhance both my home life and my blog, and the results were nothing short of amazing.

As I was growing my blog, which hit 5-figure months a few years in, I spent thousands on one-on-one coaching and masterminds, gobbled up every course I could get my hands on, only to discover that what I really needed was to take a step back and decide what MY goals were. 

I was stuck in an over-information loop and had too many opinions from folks who thought they knew best. The support was great, of course, but the unintentional overwhelm it caused nearly sank me. As a focus variant entrepreneur (my mind has been known to change focus at the speed of light! hyper-focused one minute and no attention span the next. Can you relate?), I knew I needed a different approach.

Now, within all of that heavy realization, an opportunity knocked on my door to join the Ultimate Bundles team. 

For five incredible years, I was the go-to person for customer service, helping people just like you discover and make the most of our extensive resources. But wait, here’s where the plot takes a twist that still blows my mind…

In the spring of 2022, I found myself taking the reins and buying the entire company! 🎉 

Can you believe it? From humble beginnings as a blogger in my PJs to becoming the proud owner of Ultimate Bundles, it’s been a journey filled with challenges, triumphs, and dreams coming true.

Still, my story doesn’t end there.

Over the past few years, I’ve been quietly offering one-on-one coaching to fellow entrepreneurs, sharing the wisdom I’ve gained from my own experiences.

Seeing their businesses flourish and their confidence soar has been an absolute joy, and it’s what inspired me to create The Focus Variant.

Now, I not only have my original blog and Ultimate Bundles, but I have also started additional adventures with Live Ultimately, She’s Got It Together (also a podcast I co-host with my sister), and The Focus Variant (because I saw a need for affordable coaching geared toward those with unique brain wiring like me).

You see, I know firsthand how tough it can be to navigate the world of entrepreneurship, especially when you’re wired a little differently. As someone who embraces my ADD, I’ve learned to harness my unique strengths and turn them into superpowers. And now, I want to help you do the same.

TL;DR? I Gotch you!

As a serial entrepreneur, CEO of a multi-million dollar business, and proud ADD embracer, I’ve learned to turn my neurodivergence into my superpower.

With a wealth of experience founding successful companies and a commitment to staying active in the trenches, I’m here to help you shatter self-doubts, embrace your unique strengths, and create the business and life of your dreams – all with a touch of Michigan charm and the seal of approval from Shark Tank’s Kevin Harrington!
