This month’s luncheon will feature Ms. Julie Chance, president of Strategies-By-Design, an enjoyable and engaging speaker.

Most entrepreneurs start their business with a dream, some develop a business plan and a few actually implement the strategies they’ve set out for themselves. But even the best of intentions and hard work may not be enough to ensure success.

According to certified business coach Julie Chance, the secret to having a thriving, successful, prosperous business is to fuel a dynamic business plan with passion, purpose and a profitability mindset. In “Creating Breakthrough Results: What Every Business Owner Needs to Know About Success,” you will learn:

• How to supercharge your motivation so you don’t have to rely solely on self-discipline and will power to achieve their goals
• How your very words may be keeping you from realizing your dreams
• How you can get motivated to take action and stay focused toward your goal

About Julie Chance – After watching one too many of her clients stuff the business and marketing plan she had helped them develop into a drawer - unimplemented -while they continued to struggle to achieve the business results they wanted, Julie Chance realized something was wrong.

The traditional planning process she learned in business school and implemented in Corporate America just wasn’t working for entrepreneurs. The missing link, Julie realized, required a different kind of approach to business planning - one that combined expertise in strategic direction and marketing along with an acute understanding of human behavior and interaction.

The result was Vision-for-Success, Julie’s powerful coaching program that spurs business owners to take action and achieve breakthrough results by gaining clarity, leveraging their unique strengths and honoring their individual values.

Before starting her own business in 2002, Julie spent 17 years in the behavioral health field, including eight years with Horizon Health in Dallas, where she held a variety of corporate positions as she rose through the ranks from Regional Director of Marketing and Business Development to Vice President of Consulting.
