My earliest entrepreneurial memory was sitting in my parents' call office (they had a laundry and dry cleaners in Guam), at my miniature desk selling Barbie clothes I had made with foam coathanger pads and staples. You could get a "couture gown" for $1!

Many years later, I found myself divorced, working on a secretary's pay with a child to raise. Again I turned to my sales abilities and got into Herbalife and Tupperware #1 in sales for Northern California three months in a row!

And it continued from there, doing all sorts of jobs just to survive. But then I woke up one morning and declared that I was through doing what I was "supposed to" and it was time to do what I loved and what made life living. I thought about my options and created this, my current incarnation as a trainer and motivational speaker. I could not do what I do without the relationships I have nurtured carefully over the last forty years. They are golden! I can teach you how to create and nurture profitable relationships, too. I especially enjoy working with Mompreneurs and one-person businesses. I can deliver for any size of business from 1 to 1 million employees. Let's talk about what I can do for you.

You can depend on me to be:

• A creative developer of new ideas, an excellent coordinator, planner, organizer, skilled at interpersonal communication -- verbally and in writing.

• Artistic, imaginative and skilled at finding new ways to do ordinary things,

• A highly effective manager of projects, people, programs and events.

• Energetic and enthusiastic with a genuinely positive outlook and approach. I'm open to new experiences and learning and I'm willing to take risks and try new things.

• Happy to share the basic concepts of self-awareness, clarity of thought and purpose, time management and entrepreneurial finesse.

From Arizona to Washington, I have been training entrepreneurs for over 20 years. I have been an SPE (Single Parent Entrepreneur), a traveling artisan , a visual designer, art director and print broker. I've been a television and radio personality as well as a voice actor. I've started and sold 6 companies and have had responsibility for training sales people and marketing teams, creating brands and corporate IDs, all the while remaining committed to networking and sharing with other entrepreneurs.

More currently, I am an Ambassador for the Walla Walla Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce and a member of Soroptimist International. I have an online consulting service through BitWine and publish a weekly newsletter, Living in Left Field, (send an email to llf@deborahbeatty.com to subscribe) and I am one of the trainers offering the Business Expert Webinars series.
