Stacey Brown Randall has one focus in life: to help business owners avoid business failure. She knows – she’s been there, done that, and received the t-shirt. What Stacey learned when her first business failed – and through years of researching successful business owners – is now what is making all the difference with her current business’ success. And she is sharing all of her secrets. As a business growth accelerator, Stacey’s online programs and live coaching provide a blueprint to follow, to take control of your referrals, your client experience, your business, and your days. Stacey received her Master’s in Organizational Communication, and is married with three kids. Playing Small Moment Not talking about her failed business was Stacey’s playing small moment. She spun a story and told people a corporate job was a better option for her, but it wasn’t. It is a cornerstone of where she is today. The Wake Up Call Stacey’s aha moment came as she was reading paperwork for a conference. She read a question aloud as her husband was walking by, and he brilliantly answered the question for her. Style of Leadership Stacey says three things make up her personal leadership style. She is not a bossy leader, she plans ahead so decision makers have time to prepare, and she understands that not everyone thinks like she does. Current Business Challenge Stacy finds it challenging, balancing her time and effort between the coaching side of her business and the online programs.  Your Support System Stacey has the full support of her husband, her family and her virtual assistant. She outsources everything in her business that can be outsourced. Leadership Practice Stacey takes deep breaths, and isn’t afraid to take a step back. Book to Develop Leadership Man's Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl Advice For Younger Self Success isn’t the end result. Be happy in your successful moments.
