Describe yourself in three words: Positive, open-minded and hungry (for life, for different cuisines & cultures, for travel, for inspiration, to learn…)

What else should we know about you?It’s taken me a good many years, but I’ve come to realize that working smart is much more effective and rewarding than working hard. Oh, and I’m a pretty good masseuse!

What do you do? I’m a Philanthropeneur : Let me tell you a bit more about it :

A new approach to solving social problems is needed. This new approach is Venture Philanthropy, also know as Philanthrocapitalism. Our economy is in crisis, people from all walks of life are loosing their jobs, there aren’t enough jobs to go around,and there is a lack of options for the average person to get out of debt.

This is a paradigm shift in thinking that requires you to have an open mind along with a willingness to learn something new. Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and many others including former president Bill Clinton, believe we must look to ourselves, and not the government, in order to fight against poverty and build a sustainable economic future.

I’ve found the ideal mechanism that creates awareness and addresses world hunger while taking control of my personal finances and ultimately helping those that have the same hunger, do the same. It’s simpler than it sounds.

Why do you love it? It’s not only my very own business, but it’s a business with products I am proud to be associated with. They are all category creating, health and wellness products that have been created by a stellar company who has visionary founders with hearts of gold I can make work my hobby I can dream bigger I support and network with other wahm’s I share and connect with like-minded people I can be creative I can be my own inspiration I can taste success I can use my imagination I get to work in my pj’s It’s flexi – I work when I want to I learn from others, grow, and hopefully inspire others too.

Where do you get your inspiration? Successful people such as Robert Kiyosaki : Rich Dad Poor Dad; Mother Theresa; The Secret by Rhonda Byrnes; The Bible; my Xango leaders, particularly Beverly Hollister and Pat Petrini and of course my 2 teenage sons keep me young!

Who has been one of your biggest influences? Lady Diana for her honesty, vulnerability and warm-heartedness.

If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things could you not live without? My laptop : I cannot live without access to my business & friends; my husband : he would be my hunter-gatherer and my mangosteen juice to keep me healthy!

Where do you see yourself in ten years? Fulfilling my hunger to travel and see the magnificent world that we live in.

Anything else you just *have* to say? “GIVE and it WILL be given to YOU”

Feature Friday ~ Fan Page Envy

Name: Johni Louise

Business: Cultivating Social Popstars and Brand Envy

Website: http://www.facebook.com/FanPageEnvy

Describe yourself in three words: Best Facebook Secret

What else should we know about you? How bout some more fun- everything is so serious all the time. I am named after my Dad JOHNNY because well that ultra sound LIED 3 times! Poor Macho Dad.

Mom was a model and named after a Hollywood leading lady so I get my flair for FANtastic naturally. I’m not shy by any means.

I’m a cat person, dogs are ok (I’ve had a few) but cat’s are far more stuck up and neurotically amusing. I grew up with Race Horses, Race Cars and Faster Harleys. < See Macho Dad LOL

What do you do? I have been teaching small biz how to utilize the 21st century marketing since it was known as web 2.0 (almost a decade) and I refuse to be a high priced guru (like the ones who charge $2000) I’m real, I keep it real and I am actually there to speak to. Not my assistant pretending to be me! From making videos ( I started in youtube in 2006 to web design with style and upping your wow factor) I have done it all. And if I haven’t I admit it when a question pops up I can’t answer but I can usually say but I know someone and give a referral. :)

Why do you love it? I love it because it connects me to other people who are like me. We all have goals and families to put through college. We all want to live a better life and if we can save thousands per month by marketing smarter not harder then think of what else you can spend that on. People you love!

Where do you get your inspiration? My Inspiration comes from stalking my competition and seeing people be frustrated with something they thought was a solution but its too high priced for them to get or once they got it they realized that they needed to spend even more to make it work “For them”. I am a tool junkie. I keep it free or stupid cheap I want you to have money in your piggy bank not bleeding out of it.

Who has been one of your biggest influences? Erin Brockovich, Miranda Priestly (The Devil Wears Prada) and Steve Jobs

If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things could you not live without? can I have fun w/ this? Wifi- Mac and a speedboat. I might need to go to the mainland for a meeting. Stranded (stuck) is not in my vocab. LOL

Where do you see yourself in ten years? retired and traveling ( w/homes in NYC, LA, Glasgow Scotland and Paris France) yes there is lots more but that is the top 3.

Anything else you just *have* to say? The power to do what you want with your business is literally in your hands. You are one click away from your next client or great testimonial. Learn today- expand daily and then profit from the RELATIONSHIPS you cultivated :)
