paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
but is it the like the recent the rec center you know like

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
the little like

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
local whatever you know worked at the front desk

paris_vega:

angie_correa:
i even worked in a convent in my high school um

paris_vega:
convent

angie_correa:
calling the nuns i worked at the convent

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
and made money doing that and i had to and their bell

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
system

paris_vega:
i donโ€™t even know what that means what do you mean

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
you had to call the nuns about what

angie_correa:
yes but like if they got calls or they had messages so i would i would be there to like i was basically like their assistant

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
but they didnโ€™t i wasnโ€™t

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
alling them and like hey this

paris_vega:
ah

angie_correa:
is an old school convent and so they had a bell system so each nun had their own bell and i had to like learn the combination like ding ding ding ding they would

paris_vega:
i

angie_correa:
come

paris_vega:
got you

angie_correa:
whatever it was either visit with somebody or take a call

paris_vega:
okay and

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
so what was your very first job

angie_correa:
um i would probably have to say like the reck center like you

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
know being like in camp you know it was like an after school camp type of thing i was

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
in it and then after i got kind of i was in it but i was also like i want to do more and so thatโ€™s right before high school and then high school was when i yeah switched over the

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
other yeah

paris_vega:
so in those thatโ€™s more service based

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
or like

angie_correa:
always

paris_vega:
a

angie_correa:
service

paris_vega:
type job youโ€™re not having to

angie_correa:
yep

paris_vega:
necessarily do sales in those positions um so letโ€™s scoot forward a little bit too what was your first business that you started our

angie_correa:
oh my

paris_vega:
first experience getting that sales exposure

angie_correa:
um i mean my sales exposure came from corporate so i mean well actually even before corporate so my first sale sales was working in retail i worked at

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
a

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
namin market store when i was in college i worked at nutrosystem when it was a free standing like store front and so i was selling weight loss programs i was selling expensive clothes hand bags and all that stuff when i was in college and so i learned and i always say to this day that the experience that i learned in those two different jobs to help pay my way through school was what got me to six figures before i was even twenty one

paris_vega:
wow

angie_correa:
and because it was all about being

paris_vega:
ah

angie_correa:
warm and fuzzy it was all about building the relationship it was all about making people feel comfortable to be to be able to hand over their credit card right and so it wasnโ€™t

paris_vega:
wow

angie_correa:
ever just about money was real

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
just about the service i provided and how i made people feel and thatโ€™s through my entire career i believe that thatโ€™s directly correlated to how many commas you have in your bank account

paris_vega:
okay revisit that part again could you

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
tease that out whatโ€™s that whatโ€™s

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
that key there that secret

angie_correa:
yeah so itโ€™s the itโ€™s itโ€™s where you know i think a lot of people go into letโ€™s say and i love the example of like the retail store experience right an environment is that you know we got to get that customer so that they can spend their money on like the most expensive thing so i could get that commission whereas i wouldnโ€™t focus so much on just like the one thing that they were looking for i would build out an entire war o for somebody but it was because

paris_vega:
well

angie_correa:
i was creating and developing a relationship to have them come back come back come back back each and every time

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
so now itโ€™s not just like oh let me grab this quick customer

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
at a sale but let me develop this relationship so that they remember me so that they feel warm and fuzzy when they see me and that then theyโ€™re like you know what i donโ€™t want to work with anybody else and itโ€™s

paris_vega:
gotcha

angie_correa:
and thatโ€™s the part where itโ€™s like nowadays you donโ€™t see that as much you donโ€™t like when you go shopping i mean think about it when you go into any store now itโ€™s like what can i help you wha are you looking for you know and

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
then if youโ€™re youโ€™re not looking for the

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
most expensive in the kind i walk away from you if they look at you and they donโ€™t think oh sheโ€™s got any money you know like what it happened to me once when i was you know in my thirties and i went to another store to buy a whole bunch of louis vatan it was like i it was in my

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
corporate job at that point and i wanted the luggage and the passport wallet in all this up but i went in and sweats i always looked like a kid and this this woman didnโ€™t want to sell me anything she didnโ€™t think i could have ford it and it was really like a fun experience because for me i was like well youโ€™re not getting my business because i donโ€™t feel good with you and so when you

paris_vega:
hm

angie_correa:
use it on both sides itโ€™s like oh i get make people feel comfortable and

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
not judge them

paris_vega:
got a

angie_correa:
right

paris_vega:
right all about

angie_correa:
cause

paris_vega:
building a

angie_correa:
ultimately

paris_vega:
relationship making them feel

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
good yeah

angie_correa:
i mean i think ultimately weโ€™re buying and selling all day every day that thatโ€™s just it so thereโ€™s never like i feel like now that you and thereโ€™s a book called seller be sold so thatโ€™s a great book for anybody to read going into to actual

paris_vega:
m

angie_correa:
sales but when you think about it from the perspective of you know youโ€™re getting married or youโ€™re having kids or youโ€™re dating or youโ€™re going on vacation with your friends itโ€™s like whose idea is going to be sold into the group right whose idea iโ€™m going to buy into that iโ€™m going to want to do right like we are constantly in that kind of a conversation and iโ€™ll either a take the lead or be follow based on the depth and breadth of the relationship that i have with that person thatโ€™s trying

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
to get their point across

paris_vega:
golden

angie_correa:
ah

paris_vega:
yeah thatโ€™s so true

angie_correa:
oh yeah yeah

paris_vega:
the

angie_correa:
right

paris_vega:
human side of tails itโ€™s not just about the a b c necessarily to always be closing

angie_correa:
no

paris_vega:
more like always

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
be building relationship

angie_correa:
yeah yeah i mean itโ€™s funny because i remember getting laid off from a company once and

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
the co and it was just it wasnโ€™t even really a lay off it was basically like a start up company and i had been consulting for them and i was working internally and and i remember the guy was like oh you need to you can you got to eat what you kill around here and i was like i just brought in like ten million dollars what are you talking about right but it was

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
through the relationships

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
that i had that i was basically handing over to his team and other departments and i was

paris_vega:
m

angie_correa:
leazoning those relationships i was the catalyst to even having them bring that in because wasnโ€™t under my name say right then he didnโ€™t value that the fact that the relationships were there and opened because i had already had them some makes sense

paris_vega:
so you had brought in millions of dollars worth

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
of business but

angie_correa:
yes

paris_vega:
was it not through you as a sales person closing the sale

angie_correa:
hi right so this

paris_vega:
o

angie_correa:
is now i took you on a big journey i took you on a big

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
leap to l end

paris_vega:
yah

angie_correa:
of me being in corporate because

paris_vega:
h

angie_correa:
what the other piece of like all of that stuff that i learned in retail and working in your system and working in all these different types of places was that the depth and breadth of the relationship that i had had value right and so

paris_vega:
my

angie_correa:
i was brought in to basically open up a category of dollars that this particular company didnโ€™t already have and so the way i went into it was this is me being the liaison right like iโ€™m going to iโ€™m gonna make the introductions iโ€™m going to support

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
the pitch iโ€™m going to do all of that stuff but i donโ€™t carry the actual number and

paris_vega:
chim

angie_correa:
so on paper it

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
looked like i wasnโ€™t producing but because everything was going under you know different categories so you know when i talked about categories i mean like the automotive industry or consumer package goods like you know finance like all those different categories where i had you know relationships but for me i was like dude like youโ€™re missing whole point like the eat what you kill paradym is so old like

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
you know i think anyway i mean i know a lot of people will completely disagree with me and thatโ€™s fine but i also know that

paris_vega:
m

angie_correa:
like you know remember working at one of the companies that i worked at an embossed you know v p of sales was like you you know you donโ€™t work us as long everybody else right like my days werenโ€™t as long as everybody else iโ€™m like but if you look at my deal size i donโ€™t need to work as long because iโ€™m doubling what anybody else is doing more

paris_vega:
because

angie_correa:
efficiently

paris_vega:
you wears building up the relationships and expertise

angie_correa:
right

paris_vega:
and everything so it doesnโ€™t take

angie_correa:
right

paris_vega:
as much labor

angie_correa:
for their twenty five thousand dollar sale for every twenty five thousand dollar sale that another person had i was having million two million dollar sales

paris_vega:
wow

angie_correa:
so iโ€™m like i donโ€™t need to stay

paris_vega:
i

angie_correa:
late and act like iโ€™m working hard when

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
my deal sizes are triple everybody else is

paris_vega:
yeah is that part of why you are kind of either got sour on corporate life or just decided to leave corporate life eventually

angie_correa:
i think for me you know i think for me it wasnโ€™t

paris_vega:
a

angie_correa:
so much sour as much as it was freedom right

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
iโ€™m like i think the day that i realized that you know the people that i was working you know and this is across the board some of the people that i was working for were like they were

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
going out golfing or they were going on these elaborate vacations and i was still working you know iโ€™m still and hard you know and iโ€™m like oh wait a second if iโ€™m not the c o then my my salary is always going to get capped so even as a top sales person in a marketing media industry at the height of media and scaling to the seven figure mark still was a cap for me a post a being my own co and having my own company and then scaling

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
four different products to over seven figures each you know what i mean

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
so itโ€™s that that was part of it and then yeah i just got itโ€™s like the time clock like punching the clock was just like i got you know that whole like your value is a seated with the hours that you work for me and then you canโ€™t do anything else on the side i think itโ€™s crazy because people thatโ€™s where people get sour so i do a workshop called prosper work lanted and itโ€™s a specifically for people who have lost

paris_vega:
ye

angie_correa:
their you know their modo for what theyโ€™re doing have lost their like excitement for the product of the company or the industry that theyโ€™re in and

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
i want to revive what were you know where theyโ€™re at by introducing the fact that they can go and create something on the side that they do on evenings and weekends and it doesnโ€™t have to be a full blown huge company it could be anything i mean iโ€™ve had clients that you know are presidents vice presidents of advertising agencies that also do party planning on the weekends for their friends and family and make five hundred

paris_vega:
m

angie_correa:
bucks or something like that that though is open of the creative juices that also is creating a secondary income that could lead to whatever you wanted to lead to depending on like whatโ€™s your actual end goal do you want more time freedom or do you think that this salary is whatโ€™s actually going to give you the freedom that youโ€™re looking for because the salary will never do that

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
sorry

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
you

paris_vega:
and

angie_correa:
know

paris_vega:
so theyโ€™re doing these side projects just pure passion projects theyโ€™re more interested

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
in them even though they might seem like a lower level task or job

angie_correa:
no

paris_vega:
itโ€™s just pure joy

angie_correa:
exactly exactly and i think thatโ€™s the other thing too i think that people will categorize like i know for a long time i was defined by the companies that i worked for i have a really impressive resume when you look at it from that perspective sure i worked at top fortune fifty companies but thatโ€™s not who i am

paris_vega:
m

angie_correa:
it was kind of like sucking the juice out of you right youโ€™re just like constantly in that grind and so itโ€™s like if you took that same energy and used that for yourself to create the relationship to take the business is to the next level then what could you actually achieve doing it that way and itโ€™s not for everybody

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
absolutely not for everybody because itโ€™s not easy itโ€™s itโ€™s hard work you know but at the same time itโ€™s like i can wake up in the morning you know at five and then take a nap at ten and then get up again at one

paris_vega:
ye

angie_correa:
things are important

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
to me at this point of my life

paris_vega:
yeah at time freedom the autonomy

angie_correa:
yeah yeah yeah you know and

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
the thing is i think so yeah i mean the other part itโ€™s like now i go back i still consult and work with a lot of corporate entities um and you omitted to senior level people and itโ€™s like what i made it an annual salary like on the bay side not even base plus commission is now a consulting fee or like a project you know so itโ€™s like because i can do that stuff with my eyes closed

paris_vega:
wow

angie_correa:
so why would i cat myself that salary i can just do it for a project

paris_vega:
so youโ€™re sayin youโ€™d make the same just for one project that you could make

angie_correa:
right

paris_vega:
that

angie_correa:
right

paris_vega:
whole salary or you

angie_correa:
some people will make for a whole year on

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
like a base

paris_vega:
wow

angie_correa:
story without mission you know what i mean so

paris_vega:
if youโ€™re the owner you can make all the money if you donโ€™t have any other costs if itโ€™s a consulting

angie_correa:
why

paris_vega:
where youโ€™re literally giving your expertise thereโ€™s not many

angie_correa:
right

paris_vega:
operating costs for that

angie_correa:
right right exactly i think

paris_vega:
itโ€™s

angie_correa:
thereโ€™s

paris_vega:
beautiful

angie_correa:
high value in and really sitting down with yourself and being like what do i do really really well

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
you know and itโ€™s like monetize it you know uh

paris_vega:
yeah yeah

angie_correa:
uh

paris_vega:
seems like

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
the best way to earn money is just from your mind because itโ€™s just you

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
sharing your

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
expertise your wisdom that you built up

angie_correa:
yeah i mean your mind but also combine combined with like whatโ€™s that skill because you know thereโ€™s thereโ€™s a woman out there always forget her name but i think i always forget her name but anyway she i believe was working in publishing on like project management but her biggest skill was that she actually loved doing excel spread sheets

paris_vega:
m

angie_correa:
loved it

paris_vega:
m

angie_correa:
so sheโ€™s not know she

paris_vega:
yes

angie_correa:
made that during the pandemic into a multi eight figure business

paris_vega:
wow

angie_correa:
teaching people about excel showing people doing short cuts like doing all this stuff so iโ€™m like anything can be monetized there was

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
another example that i heard the other day that i was like dan you know itโ€™s a part of it is yes youโ€™re like if you want to educate and teach and be in that sphere but itโ€™s also like what are you doing that people donโ€™t want to do like iโ€™ll hire a chef all day every iโ€™ll hire somebody to clean my house like iโ€™ll hire people that doing the things that i donโ€™t like doing

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
right and find the person

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
thatโ€™s an expert that loves it right closet organizers it seems like thatโ€™s not

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
a big deal but it is and people charge a lot of money for that and i will

paris_vega:
wow

angie_correa:
do it all the time because i hate it

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
like iโ€™m like like

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
whatever i donโ€™t you know it doesnโ€™t even like phase me because i prefer somebody else that loves to do that to come in

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
here and do it for me yeah

paris_vega:
so if you out source all the things that you donโ€™t have a passion for youโ€™re not focused on or doesnโ€™t

angie_correa:
yes

paris_vega:
bring in money then that means you have

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
more of your time to

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
do the thing thatโ€™s most important

angie_correa:
right and to make more money

paris_vega:
right all right so you left the corporate world at some point

angie_correa:
m

paris_vega:
you had a

angie_correa:
hm

paris_vega:
moment briefly

angie_correa:
hm

paris_vega:
talk about that decision point to start your

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
own thing and your life

angie_correa:
yes

paris_vega:
in that way

angie_correa:
so the last company that i worked for close their office they after they moved me out here they closed the office about a year and a half after it was a whole big thing they were like do you want to move to mexico and i was running so i moved from new york to california to run the whole west coast brazil and mexico and so i was traveling between l a new york brazil and mexico and um and then a year in two they said weโ€™re going to weโ€™re going to divide the business itโ€™s coming out of the california office back to miami and to mexico they would like do you want to move to either one of those places i like neither one of those cis was exciting for me um and so i took they closed the office i took and

paris_vega:
my

angie_correa:
i think two or three weeks i went to cabo hung out

paris_vega:
at

angie_correa:
came back made

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
six phone calls seven phone calls and enrolled my first

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
seven clients to a master mine and i basically just called old clients old friends from the industry that i was in for twenty five years and said hey listen youโ€™ve been watching my journey i moved from new york to la and thereโ€™s a whole story behind the move also because i claimed it right i had just gone through a divorce you know all the stuff i didnโ€™t

paris_vega:
m

angie_correa:
have um kids or anything and so i was just like like somebody asked me five months before i moved somebody asked me whatโ€™s your big dream i said i want to move to the west coast i want to live by a beach i want at palm trees every day i donโ€™t want to

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
walk out and be on the beach like i want to just like

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
like and that literally iโ€™m going to walk out later well

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
itโ€™s been raining import so iโ€™m not like money but you know iโ€™m right here and

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
so that journey and this is at the very like i find i feel like the onset of social the way we see it social today but people were following what i was doing and because of the my age and all that stuff i mean i moved to california in my forties iโ€™m now in my iโ€™m about to be fifty three in february and so i went i led with my own personal story my own personal journey and i said hey if youโ€™re burnt out you feel like thereโ€™s other things that you could be doing i know i can coach you through that and so do you want to join my master mind had ten

paris_vega:
wow

angie_correa:
women in my first mind and that was it that was

paris_vega:
wow

angie_correa:
that was like a couple of weeks after i left that and then thatโ€™s how

paris_vega:
yes

angie_correa:
it started like i didnโ€™t even think

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
about it

paris_vega:
okay so if you can even remember because i know youโ€™re probably just killing it

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
doing sales like you do but do you remember

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
the very first one and of zooming

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
if you can

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
about

angie_correa:
i mean

paris_vega:
like the feelings

angie_correa:
very first

paris_vega:
of that

angie_correa:
person

paris_vega:
process

angie_correa:
yeah i mean i had always hired coaches i always had a coach like i had a coach for my

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
relation i had a coach for my fitness and health and wellness i had a coach for my business and my career so iโ€™ve always had coaches and people were always telling me you would be a great coach i was like okay and i just believed it and so when i made the first phone call itโ€™s so funny because iโ€™m still connected with this very first woman and i just said this is what itโ€™s a b and weโ€™re going to do it for six months itโ€™s going to be this much and i really want to support you in your journey and help you do all the things that you want to do because iโ€™ve already done it so so just to kind

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
of give you an idea also is that up and up to that point there had over the like i guess over probably the three to five years prior to that um i had

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
taken a sabatical i had left i paid myself my salary put my set paid myself my salary and to the exact same number as a travel budget

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
travel the world so i took a year off to

paris_vega:
awesome

angie_correa:
travel the world okay

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
so i created my own exit strategy and exit plan so that i could take that time off so it was like again per

paris_vega:
this

angie_correa:
in my

paris_vega:
was

angie_correa:
career

paris_vega:
ending okay so thatโ€™s ending the corporate life taking

angie_correa:
no

paris_vega:
a gap year

angie_correa:
no

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
not at all this is like even before that because i knew i needed a break so this leads into

paris_vega:
got

angie_correa:
the end

paris_vega:
ya

angie_correa:
because i think

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
for me where prosper were planted come from now is from the fact that i actually took a break from my corporate life but taking that

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
break was because i was earning income hand over fist was a lot easier because my commission checks were you know six figures and so and i talk a lot about that kind of stuff too because it does make a difference to how you plan an exit right or how you plan a gap here and so we get to be really specific about like we donโ€™t want to put anybody in you know compromising ation financially we want to say you can do this and we can plan it for you so i had already done those things so they watched me as i you know

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
was spending

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
a month in india i did my pre lo and came

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
back and

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
like

paris_vega:
all right

angie_correa:
i

paris_vega:
pause

angie_correa:
never yeah

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
so i paused real quick because on my end the video cut out right when you said uh like youโ€™re taking a gap here and then iโ€™d ask you the question and you started to explain deeper so back up like fifteen

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
seconds

angie_correa:
iโ€™m probably yeah

paris_vega:
and then i added a marker so i can kind of edit it together a little it

angie_correa:
okay

paris_vega:
just back

angie_correa:
okay

paris_vega:
up a

angie_correa:
perfect

paris_vega:
little bit on this last part of the story and then well weโ€™ll just keep going

angie_correa:
yeah okay perfect iโ€™m probably moving around too much i get really excited

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
because some of the stuff i donโ€™t even talk about hardly ever and then i comes up and iโ€™m like oh i canโ€™t believe i did that so okay so

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
my gap here was so the reason why i was able to call some lot of these women and say hey i want support you in your process was because like letโ€™s say five years prior or a little bit more even i had made a created an exit strategy to take a gap year so that i could travel the world and so i took you know the income that i had the commissions to base salary i paid myself my salary i gave myself a travel budget was a huge travel

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
budget because i was like not at that point i wasnโ€™t in my twenties and wanted to stay in hostiles i wanted to stay fistartelsanreally

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
great house

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
it was a

paris_vega:
of

angie_correa:
different

paris_vega:
course

angie_correa:
experience but i you know so they so it became really again it became really easy for me to make those phone calls when i then started my coaching practice because these people these women already knew what i had done

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
and so that in that perspective i was teaching them something that i had already done and experienced that was separate of my actual coach my actual career it was separate because

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
i

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
wasnโ€™t at that point i wasnโ€™t necessarily career coaching them as much as dream coaching them right or manifestation coaching them when that wasnโ€™t real a word that i was using back

paris_vega:
hm

angie_correa:
then back then it was just like letโ€™s go live your biggest best life

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
right

paris_vega:
and so you

angie_correa:
and

paris_vega:
focus

angie_correa:
so

paris_vega:
in on helping them specifically launch like a passion project as a business

angie_correa:
yeah either passion projects

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
or like really get clear on what they wanted to do and so meaning not and not necessarily only career it was like they were many of them were single moms many of them

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
you know had wanted to move out of at the time half of them lived in new york a couple of them wanted to move they saw me do my

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
move so think like that

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
and

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
i firmly believe that it all lines up obviously right because you need to have the right career with the right salary to make the right move or the passion project or whatever that looks like it was much more all encompassing um whereas now iโ€™m really like letโ€™s maximize your career or whatever that looks like a career for me is inclusive of like my career right now is being a coach

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
right so itโ€™s much more inclusive than than not and so thatโ€™s kind

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
of how that all started and so when woman after woman after woman said yes it was exciting because

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
i knew that at that point i was bringing value but it was even more so the fact that the ten to twelve years prior to that that i had cree did thee these relationships with these women that have we had multiple millions of dollars of deals happening between us because of our roles in different companies they trusted me

paris_vega:
yeah oh

angie_correa:
and that

paris_vega:
talk about the

angie_correa:
i think is

paris_vega:
mother

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
sorry sorry now and

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
i think that thatโ€™s the biggest thing thatโ€™s really being underestimated these days

paris_vega:
the trust

angie_correa:
is trust hm

paris_vega:
oh yeah talk about the difference between getting a corporate sale how that feels versus getting a sale for your own business and if there was a difference for you there

angie_correa:
yeah i mean itโ€™s so

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
funny because i canโ€™t even iโ€™m trying to think i feel like the corporate sale i mean i guess i can go back to like

paris_vega:
m

angie_correa:
my favorite i think probably my favorite corporate sale was working with a big beverage company and i was at a digital media company and we were launching a category we were launching the music site of this of this digital media company with a big beverage company and i just i just like i donโ€™t need to you know i donโ€™t know i sometimes donโ€™t even mention the names but itโ€™s big

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
it was like it was big it was like i think it was like a ten million dollar deal or something

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
and now it wasnโ€™t solely me

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
and i think the other thing that

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
it was what was different for me in court it is that i never um m i never acted like oh it was me like i did that you know what i mean like it was always

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
the collective right i mean it took a lot of people to get a big deal like

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
that done both the brand side to the marketing side to the researchers to the technical people all of that stuff right

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
a lot of meetings a lot of contracts legal and so while either of myself or somebody else we would get accolade for it it was like i was always the one that was like no letโ€™s bring everybody to the table because this was a collective initiative just because i get the commission check doesnโ€™t mean iโ€™m the only one that had anything to do with it iโ€™m just really good on stage and anything

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
is a stage this is a

paris_vega:
ah

angie_correa:
stage

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
you know if iโ€™m on ten thousand people itโ€™s a stage like it doesnโ€™t really matter me iโ€™m really good on stage and i know that but iโ€™m not good at like okay the project management side or the like keeping

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
track of you know what i mean like so so

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
thatโ€™s why i really believe that itโ€™s a collect of effort and i think thatโ€™s learning that industry and understanding it was a huge accomplishment for me because i had i mean i never imagined ever working for some of these companies that i ended up working for when originally i wanted to go i went to school for special education and and fashion which are two totally different

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
things too thatโ€™s my personality though right um

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
but then doing having my own it was really exciting to have my own sale because it was based on something completely different right it was really something that was in support and if sir s and i believe that servant leadership

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
is what actually creates long lasting relationships it creates abundance

paris_vega:
what

angie_correa:
in every area of your life

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
and that i really truly want to support others in creating whatever it is that they want to create whereas in corporate sales itโ€™s like you know weโ€™re helping somebody sell their sugary drink

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
weโ€™re helping somebody

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
buy a car you know and thatโ€™s fine and we need that you know thatโ€™s the hatโ€™s how the world goes around but when you think about the difference between what that feels like in in my mission

paris_vega:
yeah yeah

angie_correa:
this part feels way better

paris_vega:
because

angie_correa:
better

paris_vega:
your helping change peopleโ€™s lives directly especialy

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
with your style of business but also youโ€™regettig to experience that fully because youโ€™re the main person

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
making contact and

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
seeing the change and

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
that makes sense good

angie_correa:
yeah yeah yeah

paris_vega:
it is the main way that you contact people or make connections with people is it um phone calls or events letโ€™s get into some of the kind of the tactical side of i think weโ€™ve covered a lot of the

angie_correa:
oh

paris_vega:
strategic and kind of

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
overall philosophy of how you approach sales but

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
what are some of the little technical granular stuff

angie_correa:
yeah i mean i think for me when i started you know again i just go back to my relationship so i didnโ€™t have to

paris_vega:
m

angie_correa:
i donโ€™t do any paid advertising i donโ€™t do anything like that

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
i hardly met with i said i joke all the time iโ€™m like i donโ€™t even like to leave my house

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
but i do but but no at the beginning it was very much a like knew these people i know them intimately and so it was a it was a connected conversation then

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
as i continued to grow and expand it became that in speaking and gay menโ€™s or people would refer me um you know i do i love doing key notes i love doing workshops for corporate you know companies and so some of my clients would have me come in and a workshop and so then people from that would come out of it and then you know coming from new york to california i had to start really networking you know i mean more heat you know a lot of the people that i was all all of my clients are basically east coast based and then here iโ€™m like oh wait what how

paris_vega:
what

angie_correa:
do i expand my work and so you know going to the likenetworking events and all that stuff which i just feel like no itโ€™s hit or miss um but i think the consistency of like thereโ€™s one i go to the mallaboo chamber and they specifically have something for women and i do that because iโ€™m pretty exclusively working with women i have had a couple of male clients but you know iโ€™m really almost exclusively women of color forty to forty five plus um is who i work because they are already made to senior level in their careers there feeling the burn out their feeling like they need something else and so but but yeah so networking

paris_vega:
so does that help you all right go ahead

angie_correa:
okay now itโ€™s all right iโ€™m just trying to my head i was like wait what else

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
yeah i didnโ€™t do it i donโ€™t do i donโ€™t do anything paid

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
and then so cold calling or not really cold calling it sounds like you started off just following up with your existing relationship so thatโ€™s just

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
calling text ing whatever

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
um

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
and then you still do the fist net working you said just out of a discipline almost it sounds like just because

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
you know that kind of

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
opens

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
up some opportunities eventually

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
yeah church

paris_vega:
and

angie_correa:
is another one for me

paris_vega:
church

angie_correa:
like

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
i love church i love i love it i love i joined thereโ€™s a couple of different groups in there and so i joined those and and so you know i just kind of let god lead that way and

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
no and thatโ€™s great too you can really

paris_vega:
yeah i think

angie_correa:
stand

paris_vega:
thatโ€™s probably

angie_correa:
it

paris_vega:
it i

angie_correa:
hm

paris_vega:
think thatโ€™s probably an underrated kind of placed a network because thereโ€™s alike you have some philosophical religious similarity

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
so you have that base level

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
connection and then that can lead

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
to a lot of other no business

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
relations side of that not that itโ€™s for that of course but iโ€™ve heard

angie_correa:
i

paris_vega:
that

angie_correa:
mean

paris_vega:
with other people too that

angie_correa:
think

paris_vega:
they

angie_correa:
i think

paris_vega:
do meet a lot of connections

angie_correa:
yeah i mean itโ€™s trusting that you say that itโ€™s not that itโ€™s for that because iโ€™m like is it though

paris_vega:
m

angie_correa:
iโ€™m like

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
because the bottom i think it is

paris_vega:
ah

angie_correa:
actually like i really do i really do believe in god placed me in because i literally just left one church and started going to a different church and

paris_vega:
hm

angie_correa:
i firmly am a believer of god took me to this new place because i get to do more business and bigger business with this community because they are bigger thinkers and theyโ€™re doing more

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
and theyโ€™re more inclusive and

paris_vega:
m

angie_correa:
and i also believe that like the bible is the best business book in the world right

paris_vega:
here

angie_correa:
and

paris_vega:
you go

angie_correa:
he wants us abundance and i donโ€™t think i think the philosophy that some people care even my family included is like oh you shouldnโ€™t talk about money and you shouldnโ€™t want money and iโ€™m like well

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
if you want me to do more in the church youโ€™re going to want me to

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
make more money i just had a friend

paris_vega:
m

angie_correa:
that wrote a half a million dollar check to his church like

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
that

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
i mean donโ€™t you like like iโ€™m sorry

paris_vega:
is that a

angie_correa:
wouldnโ€™t

paris_vega:
good or bad

angie_correa:
you want

paris_vega:
thing right

angie_correa:
that you know

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
and so thatโ€™s

paris_vega:
because

angie_correa:
the

paris_vega:
if you

angie_correa:
part

paris_vega:
follow

angie_correa:
where

paris_vega:
the

angie_correa:
i

paris_vega:
principle in the bible it leads to abundance because it talks about making wise choices and proverbs and everything itโ€™s like if you follow the actual principles it does lead to abundance because

angie_correa:
right

paris_vega:
not going to be youโ€™re can be making wise choices and uh yeah if anything

angie_correa:
h

paris_vega:
well i donโ€™t want to start condemning agetnintoyeah

angie_correa:
thatโ€™s a whole other podcast

paris_vega:
but but yeah i see what

angie_correa:
ah

paris_vega:
youโ€™re saying there yeah it does line up with

angie_correa:
he

paris_vega:
the principles

angie_correa:
thatโ€™s a good podcast episode you can borrow that one if you

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
want iโ€™ll let you white label that subject

paris_vega:
ye

angie_correa:
to

paris_vega:
are you poor

angie_correa:
yes

paris_vega:
and going to hell well listen

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
in

angie_correa:
i

paris_vega:
that terrible tokay

angie_correa:
oh

paris_vega:
so church is another place to make connections

angie_correa:
ye

paris_vega:
said like the commerce groups in town

angie_correa:
tamberfanes are great

paris_vega:
chamber of commerce

angie_correa:
you know and i think i think honestly itโ€™s like if you have a good group of people around you youโ€™re discerning about the people that you have around you that they will they will promote you you know i have a really good friend that from church and she sent me someone and they old and theyโ€™re from like i t you know so you just get the most like random connections but i think itโ€™s also because of the deep the depth and breath of the connections and

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
you are what you stand for think of your authentic and and an integrity and what youโ€™re doing like it will come

paris_vega:
yeah i usually have a rapid fire question section but

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
i know you got to run and bounce to another call here soon so weโ€™re not going to get

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
too deep into that

angie_correa:
letโ€™s do it letโ€™s so we got plenty

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
o my god when by fast no

paris_vega:
i

angie_correa:
letโ€™s

paris_vega:
know

angie_correa:
go

paris_vega:
itโ€™s getting close

angie_correa:
oh

paris_vega:
um let me see

angie_correa:
wow

paris_vega:
here because we covered a good bit and youโ€™ve is that basically the only tactics youโ€™d say you use just building relationships at the different networking events and personal relationships and then what tools do used to follow up like linked in i know i think connected with you on polly work

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
m different social

angie_correa:
i just

paris_vega:
media

angie_correa:
get

paris_vega:
tools

angie_correa:
i just i mean i follow people on in sta my my favorite spot is instagram but i just connect with people and get their phone number and call them i mean

paris_vega:
okay so youโ€™ll

angie_correa:
like

paris_vega:
so you end up deming

angie_correa:
like

paris_vega:
people over social media youโ€™ll

angie_correa:
i

paris_vega:
dam

angie_correa:
mean

paris_vega:
people

angie_correa:
i like

paris_vega:
over social

angie_correa:
donโ€™t

paris_vega:
media sometimes

angie_correa:
really i mean i like to follow people in social met ust to kind of get a depth

paris_vega:
h

angie_correa:
and breath are

paris_vega:
m

angie_correa:
and if thatโ€™s you know if weโ€™re an alignment and if thatโ€™s where their preferred communication avenue is but

paris_vega:
m

angie_correa:
i donโ€™t know i just i have peopleโ€™s phone numbers i call them i donโ€™t want to get too complicated

paris_vega:
you

angie_correa:
i donโ€™t even

paris_vega:
just

angie_correa:
send people

paris_vega:
go up

angie_correa:
like

paris_vega:
outside somebodyโ€™s house

angie_correa:
donโ€™t even use um yeah i donโ€™t do like i mean iโ€™m going to probably to scale to the level that i want to scale to this year end up implementing more things but

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
grudging grudgingly

paris_vega:
all right iโ€™m gonna do a quick yes or no section

angie_correa:
yep

paris_vega:
now letโ€™s start

angie_correa:
yep

paris_vega:
off with traditional marketing direct marketing category face to face meetings youโ€™ve already

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
talked about that as a big yes

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
tell marketing phone calls i guess the

angie_correa:
he

paris_vega:
better term that would be do you do cold calls

angie_correa:
no never

paris_vega:
okay okay so you always make some kind of connection before doing somebodyโ€™s

angie_correa:
oh yeah

paris_vega:
number okay

angie_correa:
thousand percent

paris_vega:
all right uh direct mail snail mail sending a post card

angie_correa:
is that no i donโ€™t even know i donโ€™t

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
do that

paris_vega:
people still use so thatโ€™s a no

angie_correa:
thatโ€™s hard

paris_vega:
hilarious

angie_correa:
now

paris_vega:
laugh

angie_correa:
i literally got something from my dad the other day he mailed me all these boxes of books and i was like you know i canโ€™t get this information on the world wide web

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
stop sending me stuff

paris_vega:
yeah all right so

angie_correa:
clutter

paris_vega:
thatโ€™s goin to answer all these next ones probably but other forms of print media newspaper adds magazine ads

angie_correa:
no

paris_vega:
no

angie_correa:
no no

paris_vega:
bulletin

angie_correa:
no

paris_vega:
board pin board notice

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
board like din a community

angie_correa:
no

paris_vega:
thing putting a little business card up or anything

angie_correa:
no

paris_vega:
okay broadcast

angie_correa:
i think

paris_vega:
media

angie_correa:
i think

paris_vega:
t

angie_correa:
itโ€™s

paris_vega:
v

angie_correa:
different

paris_vega:
radio ad

angie_correa:
no to me no no no

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
and itโ€™s funny to come from i come from all those mediums right so i worked

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
in radio i work in brands i worked in direct mail i worked in all of them um and they have value for many clients and because they have value from any entrepreneurs i think when youโ€™re looking at like brick and mortar a lot of those things work i think service base and what i do if itโ€™s not in a connection based avenue

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
itโ€™s just not going to happen because people arenโ€™t just like oh let me hire a six figure coach

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
did you do

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
that doesnโ€™t work that way

paris_vega:
right right

angie_correa:
so i think thatโ€™s the thatโ€™s the difference to itโ€™s like are you a plumber or you know

paris_vega:
right oh

angie_correa:
you you know really looking at changing somebodyโ€™s life right do you do roofing or landscaping or do you do you know

paris_vega:
hm

angie_correa:
what i mean i think thatโ€™s when

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
you really get to think about it from that perspective i mean even

paris_vega:
depends

angie_correa:
like if

paris_vega:
on

angie_correa:
youโ€™re

paris_vega:
the

angie_correa:
a

paris_vega:
business model

angie_correa:
here everybody is a trainer and so what what do they do they stand out on the beach they go to the park and they put little this little board up and you can take a little

paris_vega:
like

angie_correa:
you

paris_vega:
a

angie_correa:
know

paris_vega:
fitness

angie_correa:
tom

paris_vega:
trainer

angie_correa:
car yeah and

paris_vega:
okay yeah

angie_correa:
yeah but i canโ€™t really do that

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
i mean

paris_vega:
so a

angie_correa:
i

paris_vega:
lot of this stuff

angie_correa:
could

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
you never know

angie_correa:
just and be like hey you want some advice oh

paris_vega:
i bet it would work especial with your personality

angie_correa:
no right

paris_vega:
but bring the people you probably

angie_correa:
youโ€™d

paris_vega:
go

angie_correa:
be

paris_vega:
viralon

angie_correa:
surprised iโ€™m actually really socially awkward

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
but donโ€™t believe me iโ€™m super introverted itโ€™s not even funny but i love to talk about what i like this stuff

paris_vega:
yeah so

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
loyalty

angie_correa:
yah

paris_vega:
card physical cupons again i think that relates to other business models

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
all right what about letโ€™s move over into digital marketing youโ€™ve talked about a little bit of that already

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
have your own

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:

angie_correa:
i already probably the night before have thought about what i want to say the next day i have

paris_vega:
really

angie_correa:
kind of like themes very much and i again i get to streamline all of this somebody is goin to be out there and be like that too much work or whatever and it is itโ€™s a lot but at the same time itโ€™s like i have my my whole of last year was be as authentic

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
and real as myself right and try to get things that are from my heart so that i can really understand my voice that much better um and itโ€™s constantly shifting as the more i read the more people i interact with the more studies that dude i did two bible studies back to back this year and they were amazing and they totally shifted a lot of how i think and how i communicate and how i interact

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
um and i think weโ€™re constantly evolving in that way then i get to do it and whoโ€™s gonna you know be able to do that for me

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
eh

paris_vega:
and when you put out content on instagram do you re purpose that same content for other platforms

angie_correa:
iโ€™m going to

paris_vega:
tik

angie_correa:
start

paris_vega:
tok

angie_correa:
to

paris_vega:
linked in and all the others

angie_correa:
yeah yeah definitely definitely so i mean i think i yea again also firm believer you know donโ€™t re invent the weel on every platform so wherever

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
it works make it work share

paris_vega:
okay but youโ€™re mostly just active on instagram at the moment

angie_correa:
yeah yeah

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
yeah thatโ€™s my

paris_vega:
so

angie_correa:
my preferred i mean iโ€™ve been on linked in for a hundred and twenty years so

paris_vega:
oh

angie_correa:
i

paris_vega:
h

angie_correa:
like thatโ€™s my number ones

paris_vega:
h yeah

angie_correa:
itโ€™s hard

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
and

paris_vega:
do you

angie_correa:
itโ€™s funny i really do look at linked in as the professional business service and a lot of people i think that iโ€™ve recently adopted the linked in you know creating a linked in profile are using it like like traditional social media and i donโ€™t believe that it should be looked at that way or treated that way right

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
i have you know i really believe that itโ€™s like okay you want to put your best foot forward in a space of professional ism and corporate and all that stuff itโ€™s not like a hook up site itโ€™s not like a vacation picture like like iโ€™m like

paris_vega:
right

angie_correa:
what you what do you you know what i mean where

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
is the value

paris_vega:
so would you say that you get leads from social media directly like do you get the most from instagram or people contacting you directly

angie_correa:
get leads

paris_vega:
or you

angie_correa:
from

paris_vega:
always you outreach okay

angie_correa:
no i get leads um if iโ€™ve gotten anybody that doesnโ€™t know me um there will come from either hearing me on a podcast or an interview or somebody elseโ€™s social meet or speaking engagements thatโ€™s the number one thatโ€™s

paris_vega:
really

angie_correa:
for me a umberone outside of me and my direct but you know i think the thing we have to remember is that iโ€™m very focused on a small small small niche

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
that i have a deep relationship with and so i donโ€™t need like like random people social media i want them to know who i am for sure but more times than not iโ€™m not going to respond to many of the people because iโ€™m not going to go below forty and iโ€™m not going to really work with men and so

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
you know

paris_vega:
awesome turning

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
people away on okay

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
so

angie_correa:
well

paris_vega:
speaking engagements and then

angie_correa:
hm

paris_vega:
people like referrals

angie_correa:
podcastthatโ€™s

paris_vega:
from other people and

angie_correa:
my

paris_vega:
then

angie_correa:
thing

paris_vega:
podcast

angie_correa:
iโ€™m

paris_vega:
okay

angie_correa:
amping podcast because i really feel like thatโ€™s thatโ€™s people the people that iโ€™m going to be working with this is how theyโ€™re spending their time is listening

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
hearing people like not just theyโ€™re not scrolling as much right theyโ€™re not like just you know kind of scrolling on social media theyโ€™re really wanting to learn and wanting to expand you know where they are theyโ€™re super frustrated where they are and they want to hear a message you know so i kind

paris_vega:
hm

angie_correa:
of think of podcast as like little many sermons

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
you know if itโ€™s conversation

paris_vega:
so

angie_correa:
right

paris_vega:
youโ€™ve given me a lot of time and i appreciate it so much why donโ€™t we end it with you giving like a talk to the camera moment when youโ€™re talking to your target audience and giving them that

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
pitch for your service and just

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:
telling them how to get a hold of you

angie_correa:
yeah yeah

paris_vega:
yea

angie_correa:
i mean i think for me for anybody thatโ€™s out there thatโ€™s listening or thatโ€™s watching is that if youโ€™re feeling frustrated if youโ€™re feeling overwhelmed if youโ€™re feeling like your completely have lost your passion and your purpose want you to know that there is something else on the other side that you can dig into that create an opportunity for you to feel like you have value still that you can make the second half of your life the best half my mission is to support women release themselves from financial concern so that they can say yes more than they say no and that doesnโ€™t just mean having a really good job that means having freedom time freedom to do the things that you want make money doing the things that you could do with your eyes closed and thatโ€™s

paris_vega:
yeah

angie_correa:
it

paris_vega:
thatโ€™s awesome thank you so much for being

angie_correa:
yeah

paris_vega:

angie_correa:
