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 Smart Women,

How are you doing this week?  It has been a fun week with lots of creative projects to work on and amazing clients to work with.  And because I have been so busy, I made sure to just STOP yesterday and take the rest of the day off and spend it with the kiddos giving them hugs. Seriously. I just stopped.

Why? Because I like to give the kiddos more of my time before I go out of town.  I leave for a quick drive to Austin on Saturday to hang out with Suzanne Falter Barnes’s at her event.  I will hook up with Alexis Martin Neely again (mwah) and then I will finally get to meet Andrea J. Lee after all these years of partnering with each other on projects.  Then Sunday morning, I will head directly to the airport and fly to Los Angeles, CA because I have a photo shoot on Monday with Lesley Bohm for the next book and then I will spend time with Ali Brown and her Platinum group for a few days and then finally I will spend the last day with a group of millionaire business women that I mastermind with.  Whew!  I promise to take lots of pictures and learn lots of new things to pass on to you when I return.

OK, so why am I telling you all this?

Because I want to discuss Yin and Yang. I encourage my clients to squeeze as much ROI out of the business as possible, like me packing everything I can into the four days of travel above. I mean if I have to be away from my kids, it has to be worth it, right.  But trust me, I am smart enough (most of the time!) to know that I also need to “Just Be” too.  Example: I took a bubble bath at 2 pm a few days ago when my throat was starting to get a little itchy.  I had deadlines and to do’s that would make a grown man cry. OK, not that bad… just depends on the man I guess. The point is, I want you to be a leader to your customers, to your family, to your team.  So you need to have that “make it happen energy” and then you also need to take care of yourself and go with nature’s rhythms.  Just a reminder that if you don’t hustle here and there, you won’t be successful. And on the flip side, if you don’t completely unplug here and there, you won’t be successful.

Brand New: Create Your Own Network Spring Workshop

Registration is now open for a brand new workshop on April 20th. Check out all the details here: http://www.gia-connect.com/workshop I know you hear it all the time, but if you are in the start up stage of building your network (meaning you aren’t making at least high five figures yet with it), then you need to be at this workshop. It is affordable and intense and you will get it created quickly.

To your success,

Sheri McConnell
CEO of the Smart Women’s Institute of Entrepreneurial Learning

Hi Creators and Big Thinkers!

I want to personally invite you to join me on a special, complimentary call to discover how to make 2010 a truly magical year!

A few months ago at our annual event, I pulled back the curtains on our brand new programs for 2010!

The Smart Women Success Programs offer entrepreneurial training and support and they also allow you to choose an emphasis on creating a “membership business” if you want. Nothing else like this exists anywhere else right now!

Our three levels are Membership, Mastermind, and Inner Circle.

And no matter which level you choose, you will receive insider business tips, exclusive networking opportunities, structured training, and access to personally ask me questions each and every month!

If you want to grow a business fast, yet gracefully–I am your “coachsultant”.

If you want to surround yourself with genuine, authentic, caring women–my masterminds are a perfect choice because the women I attract each year are just that!

2009 has been a phenomenal year for all of my clients, many of whom share their successes here: http://vimeo.com/7806109

And here is a picture we took during their mastermind photo shoot in LA earlier this year…

As I said, during my October Annual Event a few months ago, I debuted next year’s programs, and the majority of our 2010 Mastermind and Inner Circle spots have been filled. Here are the beautiful women I have accepted so far:

• Daria Boissonnas
• Karen Wilson
• Linda Jones
• Kiva Leatherman
• Carrie Jacobs
• Morna McEver Golletz
• Ruth Reiner
• Patricia Selmo

So only a few spaces remain – is one of them yours?

Because our office has received many inquiries I am hosting a special, complimentary call explaining all the details of all three levels of support.

PS

By the way, you can also listen in on a brand new call on Monday, October 26th at 1 pm CST for a Sneak Preview Call on our 2010 Smart Women Success Programs!

Date: October 26th
Time: 11am (Pacific), Noon (Mountain), 1 pm (Central), 2 pm (Eastern)
Call in number: 1-800-662-6992
Code: 1020261

Hi Creators and Big Thinkers,

How are you doing?  I hope you are doing wonderful.

Today I want to connect with you and take notice of a very important journey. Our journey together-and for so many of you, the journey has been over a decade now. Wow.

I just finished a week of business mastermind meetings. One meeting was for my clients and the other meeting was for me where I met with other very successful business owners (many are into multiple seven figures now) to chart my 2010 plans. I had some huge shifts this past week. I am excited about how our company will continue to reach more women business owners and entrepreneurs and help them create and grow profitable businesses that support their lifestyles. It is such an important mission when you really think about it. Let me explain…

Over a decade ago, I was a single mom of two toddler girls working as an administrative assistant (even with a Masters degree!) at Verizon Wireless trying to make ends meet and searching for a way that I could spend much more time with my children and independently take care of us while living a passionate life. Not too much to ask for, right?

I didn’t think so.

So I left and started a daycare called SMILES Learning Center. My first real company. Because I was brave enough to leave that job and start my own business, my journey led me to a new more evolved husband (we just celebrated a beautiful 10th anniversary earlier this month) and two more healthy children.

Had I not left that job, I would have never started the journey that eventually led me online where I built an amazing umbrella of businesses that inspire other women to be brave and take the first step to just move forward in a direction that feels soulful and alive. When I left my corporate job, I was scared, but at least I had hope and I felt alive.

Today, Sheri McConnell Companies, Inc. (which includes the National Association of Women Writers and the Global Institute of Associations) empowers over 15,000 women every week in our newsletters. Not to mention the more than 10,000 women we inspire virally through social networking at just Facebook, Twitter, and Linked In. Our Smart Women books are reaching thousands of women every quarter now and our financial projections for 2010 are close to 3 million.

And honestly, we are just getting started. The vision and mission is that big.

If you have been one of my subscribers over the last 10 years, then you know how important this e-mail is. You know how rare it is that I slow down and take stock of it all. It is time.

I have come full circle and I am here to share the path and the journey with you because it is and has always been our mission to empower women to become financially independent so that they could create positive change in their lives and the lives of their children and their communities. See how huge it is!

So if you are ready, come and play with me and about 75 other amazing women! I sincerely promise to provide inspiration and a genuine approach to starting a business and growing it gracefully so that you don’t lose your mind along the way. And most importantly, I want to show you how to do it so you can have a life full of connections, passion, and people you love all around you.

And don’t think there won’t be bumps (or as I like to say “growth opportunities”) along the journey. Remember, anything worth having is worth finding out how to create and grow. One thing I know for sure, we are each responsible for our own success. And we are the ones that have to find a way to get through all the obstacles along the way.

To all of our success!

Sheri
