Studied music in college - Was using a Mac when she was 16 - Went to coding camp at 13 - Wanted to work for a software company - Got a job at Seagate Software and did tech support and they were using Crystal Reports - Left and became a freelance specialist and has been doing it for 20 years - Her former boyfriend got her the URL "Crystal Reports Goddess" - Got bored with her career and when she turned 40 she decided to create a business to get out from behind the computer - In her business class they asked "how specific can you make your offer?" - There's riches in niches [![Score My Pipeline](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/443614/interactive-178194433547.png)](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLKYrKdSj9wX8MOCR8CkQuUDriFVkRjcvG4ys9cDyWUDIS3Az8LasUk%2BYns0lgc3XD32NDIWYNCVqV8q90CGjDypijVJq4W%2FvlTtoKwH68dMZyZx%2BuGKkVLk%2F1v9UHb4P%2FPIP%2FQoJw%2BrSRisOCDch25mXugXIL2LaMSWZM%2BkYvWEuPP%2F8GUwCWyw73yYuDJzcwsymmqdkZRz&webInteractiveContentId=178194433547&portalId=443614) - It's hard to be known for something if you're a generalist - The more focused she gets the more profitable and better known she becomes - Her first hire was a co-worker from Seagate 20 years ago - She just knew she needed help - She wasn't the perfect fit so they actually parted ways amicably after 10 months - It helped her define what she needed - Her next two were also from Seagate - Keith and Peter were both contractors - She was specific with her needs - Hiring and training two at the same time was effective - They were technical with strong customer support skills - She's a technician in the sense of the "E-Myth" - Being a control freak means she has high standards but she was her own cap on her financial goals - It's more leverage and more fun having a team - They are all remote and never meet their customers - Use Slack to project manage and communicate, Google Drive for file sharing, and they're looking into project management software like [Priority Matrix](https://appfluence.com/) (per Getting Things Done) and Asana - Certified Parnter for QCube so they get great referrals or they read her blog posts - Good rants drive engagement on her posts - Hired a naming specialist to create "Datisfy: Do what counts" - Get out and network at industry conferences and speak every chance you get - Automate. Integrate. Dominate. Invest in automation.
