There’s a lot of pressure from society that challenges our desire to be authentic. We may feel we need to portray a certain “persona” in order to get the sale or secure the job. Think about the commercials we see on television – the Victoria Secret models have the perfect bodies with the perfect curves. Have you ever seen anyone on TV with a bad hair day? What kind of picture is the media painting for women and young girls? (more…)

Now, more than ever, those who are serious about their business need to take bold action, but you don’t need to do it alone. That’s why Mary Foley created the REV UP Society, a community of support for women entrepreneurs who want to create a positive impact – on their bank account, and on others! Together, we replace confusion with clarity, shift anxiousness into confidence, and transform your inconsistent action into a consistent habit of hustling with heart.
Mary’s own hustle started with a 10-year corporate career with AOL – when AOL was cool. But, after experiencing the glass ceiling, she left to find her next adventure. While earning a Master’s degree in Organization Development, she was inspired to write her first book Bodacious! Career, which launched her into the world of being an entrepreneur. As the author of three books, an energizing keynote speaker, and radio show host, Mary inspired thousands of women to be bodacious in life and work. In a surprising turn of events, she even appeared on the cover of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and was spoofed on the E! Entertaining T.V. show The Soup!
Today, her REV UP Society inspires women to generate the revenue they want in a business they love. When she’s not wearing her REV UP red cape, she is usually facilitating a workshop, hosting the P.O.W.E.R. Plug Podcast by Sonabank, or sipping on a glass of her latest, favorite wine.
