Tory Johnson was unexpectedly fired from a job she loved. The scar from that experience led her to shift from employee to entrepreneur. Since then, she’s become an award-winning business leader, national network television contributor, popular speaker and bestselling author devoted to career success.
What She’s Not
First, she’s not a consultant or coach who’s made her living by telling people how to build a business. She’s not speaking to you about something she learned from a textbook or a classroom. She’s been in the trenches doing it herself: from a start-up with $5,000 to the national multimillion dollar business we now know. At this event, she’s opening her playbook to equip you with everything you need to grow your business.
Fired to Hired
In 1999—after being unexpectedly fired from a job she loved—Tory started Women For Hire in the corner of her bedroom with twin babies crawling at her feet. She had one simple hope: make a decent living to support her family and help some women find jobs. She never imagined becoming a millionaire along the way. In fact, if anyone had told her then that she was sitting on a multimillion dollar idea, she wouldn’t have believed them. Over the years, she’s learned that anyone (including YOU) can take very deliberate steps and apply essential strategies to create their own blueprint for success.
Spark & Hustle
Tory had no trust fund, no celebrity endorsements, and no back-up plan. She started with just two things: that SPARK of an idea and the HUSTLE to make it happen. While it may fall short of a “Hollywood story,” the truth is that it’s been a series of consistent actions that have enabled her to become a paid contributor on national television every week, a New York Times bestselling author, and, most importantly, the owner of a thriving, growing business even as others have suffered greatly through the recession.
Two Quick Warnings
First, if you are inclined to believe those infomercials or sales pages promising the opportunity to get paid gobs of money for sitting on your sofa and doing very little, then meeting Tory will be a rude awakening! She knows more than anyone how critical the HUSTLE is to your success. Second, Tory was never a cheerleader. (She was on the state championship debate team.) This means creating another rah-rah, feel good networking opportunity is simply NOT in the realm of possibility for her. So, every minute of this serious event is hyper-focused on driving YOUR small business success. We hope that’s EXACTLY what you’re looking for. If so, we’ll see you soon.
