MEET BETTY BOLTE My career after high school began first with retail sales until a government clerk position opened up. Then I worked as a clerk for several years before becoming a secretary for corporate America. All those jobs involved words one way or another. Then I quit my job at IBM and started my own freelance word processing business in 1988. While typing manuscripts in Virginia, I would “clean them up” – editing the prose to flow more smoothly, a service my clients loved. Interestingly, my first client had me format (and edit) his thesis on rocket fuel. In 1994, I and my husband contributed chapters to books on using dBase V software for Macmillan Publishing. Now, he’s a computer software guy, but I am not. Yet I helped write chapters that essentially translated the technical phrasing into everyday language. Something I’m known for. After earning a Bachelor of Arts in English in 1995, I began freelance editing while also writing fiction—stories that will never be read but they were my training ground

MEET RONAN LEONARD Most experts make the mistake of picking just one mode to deliver their expertise through. Accountants make money through accounting. Trainers make money from training. Chef’s cook. You get the picture. The secret to becoming a niche leader and having more revenue is to diversify how you deliver what you do. Ronan helps self-employed professionals who don’t earn enough revenue from their vast expertise to identify and package up the most valuable part of their expertise and create a whole new revenue stream. Ronan loves seeing the benefits that Mastermind groups have on both the instructors and participants and has helped 100’s of business owners increase authority, revenue, and expertise.

MEET MARVIN WILSON I’m 69 years old and a lifelong entrepreneur. I was a traveling R&R musician during the Hippie Era of the 60s and 70s, and I owned a home improvement company during the 80s and 90s. At the turn of the century, I engaged in several MLMs. I became a public speaker, developed my leadership skills and did a lot of success and personal development coaching. In my mid-50s I began writing. I’m now a multi-published author and a professional editor. I’ve had successes and failures during my life, and have learned much from both. I recently started a new venture which is, I believe, a winner. It’s a unique idea. The publishing industry is dominated by Big Pub houses. Little-known, but worthy talents are often overlooked, unless somehow “connected”. I’ve put up a website that promotes such talents, and gives The People the ability to choose who gets promoted, gains notoriety and success—Publishing 4 the People!

MEET SHAWANDA RANDOLPH Shawanda Randolph retired from the United States Air Force after 20 years of service. God would use her keen sense of wisdom, insight, and innate leadership skills, to help guide, direct, and influence those around her, especially those in leadership and potential leadership positions. It was her discipline, worth ethic, and problem-solving skills that led both superiors and fellow associates to depend on her counsel. As, a result, many flourished under her advisement and mentorship. Even then, she understood that it was God who gave her the courage and desire to watch others walk their God-given paths in and outside of the military. Once Shawanda received this revelation, she understood what would be an essential concept to her ministry: Identity. She knew that once people discovered who they were in God, they would be more effective leaders. She learned that people often separated their professional, personal and spiritual lives. However, as God used her life as a model, He showed her
