Today’s Episode:

I share my journey from running a bakery business that I bootstrapped from a single Farmers Market booth to a brick and mortar with a wholesale manufacturing facility. Despite generating multiple seven figures, I struggled with making a profit. In 2017 and 2018, I faced significant financial challenges, maxing out credit cards and emptying my 401k, which led to selling my company.

What We’re Talking About Today:

• My Story: From building a gluten-free bakery to selling the business and transitioning into a Business Chaos Sorter.
• Financial Realities: The importance of understanding and managing your financials to avoid burnout and financial strain.
• Recurring Themes: How more time and more money can lead to less stress, saving marriages, happier kids, and ultimately a better world.
• Practical Advice: Steps to achieve financial freedom and why you don’t need an MBA or an accounting certificate to understand your financial position.

Special Announcement:

I’m introducing Her First Million 5-Day Focus! In this immersive educational experience on Zoom, I’ll walk you through the exact framework to build a business reaching seven figures consistently. If you’ve been in business for at least three years and have hit a wall, or if you’re dreaming of what a $1 million business looks like, this is for you.

International Speaker and Business Coach Amanda Bedell, Named Focused.com’s Coach of the Year

Award Renamed as Adrian Ulsh Coach of the Year Award in 2023

 

[McMinnville, OR, November 9, 2023] — BCC Business Consulting is proud to announce its founder, Amanda Bedell, as the recipient of Focused.com’s prestigious Adrian Ulsh Coach of the Year award. Amanda’s dedication and unwavering commitment to empowering small business owners have made her a standout choice for this recognition.

A visionary entrepreneur with a mission to break the barriers that limit small business success, Amanda’s storied journey in business is nothing short of remarkable. From a personal experience building a thriving bakery business in Seattle, Washington, to building a public relations firm and now a business consulting enterprise, Amanda knows firsthand the challenges that business owners face.

Founder of Focused.com, Karl Bryan, had this to say about Amanda: “We chose Amanda as the winner this year because of her commitment and resiliency. She creates massive results for her clients, which is a given. But, her spirit of generosity makes her a role model in our community as she actively supports other coaches, celebrates their achievements, and helps us create a culture of collaboration and encouragement online and offline.” Karl continues, “This year is particularly meaningful for me, as we chose to rename the Coach of the Year award after my business partner, Adrian Ulsh, battling a serious illness.”

It was announced last year Adrian Ulsh has Parkinson’s Disease. “I’m deeply honored to receive this award with Adrian’s namesake. I started using the Focused platform to build my business while battling cancer. For years, I neglected my health as I bootstrapped my food business, and I’m happy to report that I’m two years in remission,” said Amanda Bedell, who’s known in her community as the Business Chaos Sorter. “Adrian is a brilliant business mind. I can only hope to make a fraction of his impact in the world.”

Amanda’s journey from business setbacks and personal challenges to becoming a beacon of hope in the business world is nothing short of inspirational. Focused.com celebrates Amanda Bedell’s dedication to her client’s success and personal and professional growth.

Focused.com is the world’s fastest growing Business Coaching Company, with over 1,250 licensees in 49 countries. The Coach of the Year award was given at its annual Business Coaching Mastery event in Cancun, Mexico, on October 24-26, 2023, where 140 of the world’s top business coaches gathered for training and networking. Other award winner recipients included:

• Rookie of the Year: Marie Temby

• Innovator of the Year: Regina Bergman
• Licensee of the Year: Dale Gibbons
