Jessica Eaves Mathews’ Biography
Jessica Eaves Mathews is America’s Advocate for Women in Business. She is passionate about helping women launch wealth-building businesses infused with authenticity & passion.
Jessica is a seasoned business lawyer, advisor and coach for business owners and entrepreneurs. She is also a multi-passionate entrepreneur herself, having launched a number of successful
ventures of her own throughout the past 15 years.

Jessica has had a wonderfully successful career as a lawyer. She has spent her career representing businesses and business owners, from solopreneurs, to mom and pop stores and restaurants, to professional service-providers to Fortune 500 companies. She has even represented some of the most successful and most wealthy entrepreneurs in the world. She has been there in every phase of the business life cycle from start-up on.
She has also been a successful entrepreneur in her own right for almost a full decade.

However, she has always suffered from entrepreneurial ADD because she has never wanted to be defined as “just a lawyer.” Her heart has always been drawn to creating businesses out of her creativity and passions. And over the years, she found that her clients, friends and family regularly sought her out for advice, support and guidance on how to launch and run their own businesses. As a result, Jessica shed her role as “just a lawyer” and realized her own dream of devoting her time and energies to helping women business owners reach their own dreams and goals through their own businesses.

Her Business Brilliance™ brand is dedicated to empowering women with the tools they need to create a life of personal and financial brilliance through entrepreneurship. Through her dynamic Business Brilliance Blueprint™ programs, books, live events and ezines, Jessica guides women entrepreneurs through the emotional and practical steps toward a rock solid business that empowers and liberates women to have a brilliant business and brilliant life on their own terms.

Jessica’s professional activities include:
• Expert blogger for StartupNation (www.startupnation.com),
• Adjunct faculty member for the Smart Women’s Institute of Entrepreneurial Learning
(http://www.sherimcconnell.com/faculty/),
• An eLearning expert for MOMeo, the online community for mompreneurs
(http://www.momeostore.com/index.html),
• An expert on the up-coming reality life makeover show for women on the Oxygen
network, 180: Life and Style Makeovers,
• Author of the soon-to-be-released book, Brilliant Business, Brilliant Life: A Woman’s
Handbook to Having it All! (release date: August 2010).
She also has a successful golf clothing line for women called Grace & Game Golf,
www.graceandgame.com.

In her free time, Jessica loves spending time in her Corrales, New Mexico home with her daughter, where they ride and show their Arabian horses, play with their three, silly, large doggies, and enjoy the New Mexico sun.

Hi Creators and Big Thinkers,

Welcome to all the new members this week!  This week has been magical… lots of great coaching a ha moments with my mastermind clients and some wonderful opportunities opened up too when I let some old things go. Each time I do this, I get better and better about just trusting the next steps.

On a personal note, send some prayers for Freddy…. he is 14 year old doggy that needs a new home and I hope it will be ours!  I am trying to adopt him.  Just wanted your help on this one.

Are you a GIA Member?

This week we are making a quick change and streamlining our newsletters down to one newsletter — so now all GIA clients will receive the Smart Women’s Institute of Entrepreneurial Learning newsletter instead of the GIA newsletter.  You will see that the information is same but includes even more information on other products and services like a weekly radio show for instance that can help you along your journey.  Just let us know if you have any questions at all.

Notice to the Big Thinking Smart Women Out There, This is Last Chance to Enroll in a GIA Program This Year

On May 1, we will close down GIA Membership Enrollment until we unveil our brand new 2011 programs at our big event on November 2, 3, 4. Due to the growth spurt of this company, I am revamping my priorities a bit as the CEO of the GIA. By closing down GIA enrollment the rest of the year, I will be better able to focus myself, my staff and my resources towards my all current clients at both companies and on some upcoming exciting opportunities in my professional career such as a book and media tour for my next book.

Another reason we are making this change and giving you your last chance to enter the GIA at the current membership level is because we have found over the last three years that our most successful clients are in our higher level programs. They are simply more successful because I get to spend more time with them and catch their mistakes and expand their mindsets. So for 2011, our entry level program will go up to $9,997 so we can offer the higher level of service to all of our GIA Members.

What this means for you is that if you are someone who wants to start or build your own network this year, you have until April 30th to take advantage of our complete Blueprint and Tool Kit Program (includes a brand new PDF “Create Stage” workbook too), join us for two monthly group Q & As, listen to our 2010 Core Curriculum calls, plus much much more! All for only $2,997 (Payment plans available).

Dear Smart Women,

This week instead of running a new article, I wanted to propose an important question for discussion on our blog: “Do you think you can truly be successful without the help of a guru?”

Here is a little history on why I am asking such a question. I do think there is more than one path to success but I found some interesting quotes this week while reading Eat, Pray, Love and I wanted to see what you (other SMART WOMEN) think about this. It caused such a stir inside me when I was reading it, I could not go past the page…

In Eat, Pray, Love Gilbert quotes Gandhi as saying: “That true knowledge is impossible without a Guru.”

Whew. When I read this, I was struck at how powerful a message this is. On one hand, I of course recognize that we do indeed become more knowledgeable from external forces. And then I have mixed feelings because I also believe there is danger in this statement and it may not empower people to seek knowledge from within which is in my opinion where the real knowledge is. People could run with this and put all their growth in the hand of others…What do you think?

Hi Smart Women!

First of all, a great big Welcome to all of our new Smart Women members!  So incredibly happy to have you here.

Next week, we will launch the website for the Smart Women’s Business Conference and Expo, so make sure you keep an eye out for it.  Expo space is limited and we expect it to be sold out quickly.

On a personal note, I am almost finished with my next book… I will read it one last time over the weekend before sending to editor on Monday.  All I have to say is: WOO HOO!  YIPPEE!  AWESOME! COOOOL!  and  THANK THE UNIVERSE I AM FINISHED!  Sorry for all the caps, but I wanted to be completely authentic with my feelings.

I have been tweeting some of the quotes from it and will continue to do so… feel free to follow me at: http://twitter.com/SheriMcConnell

Here are a few from yesterday:

• We can never see past the choices we don’t understand.
• Being authentic is peaceful and profitable.
• “Why” is more important than the “what” or the “how”

• The 5 “laws” of the membership-based business (not talking about continuity either–she will explain) that allow you to attract members, partners, and opportunities faster than all other business models
• The “business strategy” that allows you to comfortably reach six-figures (and much more!) in first 12 months of operating your business
• Why CONTENT should never be the reason members join
• The 5 Secrets to Growing Your Membership Fast
