However, even after those many years of banking experience, she noticed that something was still missing. Tanisha believed that if she could do it for herself, why not help someone else reach their goals. She remembers saying to herself, I’m going to do this coaching business. She purchased books, created a name for her business and filed it with the State of Ohio, however, she was still stuck and didn’t know how to transition from employee to entrepreneur. She was afraid because she went to college and a career was her path. However, her biggest challenge was stepping out on faith and not quitting when things became hard. Tanisha had learned from her mom to work hard and not to quit. She knew having God and her (MOM) coach made reaching goals more attainable. That’s when she knew that it was now time to make the transition from employee to entrepreneur Tanisha’s former employer said of her, “When I think of your gift it really boils down to your passion and will to succeed…your talent is you’re an amazing listener.

John C. Morley a Serial Entrepreneur, Engineer, Marketing Specialist, Talk Show Host, and President of his local chamber of Commerce.I’m John C. Morley and the Founder, CEO of The JMOR Connection, Inc now a 30+ year company in Franklin Lakes, NJ. When I was in college, not too long ago, I realized that many were frustrated with technology but also were given bad advice. No matter whether you have never touched technology or use it daily, my team and I will help you as we "Make IT Easy". During 7th Grade I started one of New Jersey's largest BBS Systems to build community before there was an internet with fancy formatted pages and graphics usable forms. I am also the President of The Franklin Lakes Chamber of Commerce and help to Make Our Community Better One Day at a Time™.  One thing I was always taught is that you treat everyone with respect and integrity regardless of their position or stature in life. A wise person once said and I quote: ”You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do," said Henry Ford. And he is absolutely right. I have a passion for technology and helping others feel comfortable using it to its maximum potential. I have been very grateful to manage two of the worlds largest international bank's info-structure in Wall Street Data Centers. You can connect with John through his Linktree: linktr.ee/johncmorleyserialentrepreneurhttps://nycpodcastnetwork.com/guest/john-c-morleyhttps://www.radioguestlist.com/john-morley-serial-entrepreneur-engineer-marketer.htmlRecent Press:https://biotech.einnews.com/amp/pr_news/532701125/podcast-guest-keynote-speaker-on-entrepreneurial-topicshttps://www.einpresswire.com/article/522635628/tech-expert-youtube-channel-unboxings-looking-for-tech-products-to-unbox-and-reviewFollow John's Shows:  https://jmor.com/jmor-showsSupport the showPlease Rate & ReviewVisit Altogether Marketing LLC

In part 2, Bill comes from a place of love, energy and choice.Success isn't always what it seems from the outside. Says Bill.  He speaks from experience; and found success at a very young age. He was living in one of the most beautiful places on earth and from the outside everything looked perfect, but something was always missing. Surrounded by material success, with everything in place by normal standards, Bill found myself dissatisfied and nothing seemed to fill the emptiness inside. No matter how much money he made or how successful he was he never felt whole. Over the course of time, this feeling got worse, never better, no matter what he did. He remembers, about almost 30 years ago that he was so miserable he walked out the door to change his life and never - looked - back. Prior to starting on his spiritual transformation path, his life was literally out of control! In Bill’s words: “Dysfunction completely controlled my life and I was making decisions based on who I wasn’t. I was literally walking through life blindfolded! I'm not blindfolded any longer! I have cracked the code! With nearly 30 years of research, investigation and experimentation I found the answers that will allow anyone to live life with passion, purpose and prosperity. The information that I have discovered is so powerful that it creates a fool proof blueprint to follow that guarantees success.”CONNECT WITH BILL for coaching, books, and more.Website http://www.truelifepurposenow.comFree 20 minute clarity session https://speaktobill.comLearn from Bill through his books: “The Seven Levels of Truth” and “Clarity has No Story” at  https://amzn.to/42bRx0g.Support the showPlease Rate & ReviewVisit Altogether Marketing LLC
