A.W.E. Spotlight – Business Accelerator

In an effort to always bring you the latest and greatest information, I am happy to present another installment of our Advisory of Women Entrepreneurs Spotlight on Success interview series.

We designed this series to, not only showcase our community of amazing women entrepreneurs, but to also share their best tips, strategies and insights for wanna-be and established women entrepreneurs. Our mission for this community is to bring an incredible group of women together to inspire, motivate, and support women in business by networking, collaborating, and, in the case of this spotlight series, showing you why they shine so brightly!

This week I am excited to share my interview with Angie Segal, Owner of an ActionCOACH Business Coaching Franchise and Co-founder of ORIGINAL Tuesdays.

In our interview Angie shares…

  • How she successfully transitioned from Corporate America to business coaching,
  • The benefits and challenges of franchise ownership,
  • The importance of creating a business around her core values, and
  • Why it’s so important to listen to your gut when making decisions.

Be sure to watch all the way to the end of the video so you can discover what ORIGINAL Tuesdays are all about and how you can join the global movement Angie and her partner, Ron, have started. Enjoy!


Thank you for watching. If you are interested in joining the Advisory of Women Entrepreneurs (A.W.E.), and being considered for a featured expert spot on an episode of my new Spotlight on Success Show in 2012 CLICK HERE for more information.

    Really engaging interview here! Refreshing, honest information about being a franchisee, with the pros & cons distinguished for us contemplate. I can see the ‘use straight out of the box’ model of the ActionCoach franchise being ideal for motivated self-starters or people with a wealth of business experience, and surely not for the timid. However, Angie gives us valuable insights into her world with an obvious passion & drive which is inspiring, & I can see a number of people being amped up by this enough to take that ‘leap of faith’ to raise their business game to the next level. Great job Angie & thanks to Shannon for more quality content.
