Hey Dream Launcher! I am Yamilette Williams, aka Dr. Yam! And yes I am a doctor by educational leadership degree not medical. Although I have been known to prescribe simple and effective strategies that help leaders and aspiring biz owners gain success. Ha:)
I am the Keep It Simple Coach to motivated biz dreamers just like you that have to work their 9 to 5 during the day but want to get their dream biz idea off the ground and need help; after hours. Being a night owl has it’s advantages.
After recovering from a c-level job loss – I knew doing the same 9-5 again was not in the cards. So I launched my own dream business, along the way designed a signature program and process and now help others do the same; but on your terms and available time and affordable! Taking the complex and difficult out of the equation and keeping it SIMPLE is what I do.
- Do you have a new business idea you are passionate about but you don’t have the knowledge or proper strategies you need to get started?
- Does your routine 9-5 job have you stuck?
- Are you tired of surfing the internet looking for solutions, get all hyped from those glitzy successful or celebrity folks you find only to see you can’t afford it?
- Or started a business last year but its not where you thought it would be and want a reset?
And I am here to teach, mentor and coach you!
Did you know there are two paths Dream Launchers (aka aspiring entrepreneurs) can take – slow or accelerate. Both will end up at launching their dream biz – which one do you want to be on right now? Guess which path entrepreneurs choose to take with me?
Looking for movement, not motion? Let’s launch your biz now!
I bet you’re thinking – “sure, easy for you to say, you have already launched.” And yes you are partially right. I have already launched my business. But easy was NOT in the equation. Nevertheless, I made the decision to make the shift. I learned a key factor about Dream Launchers. As I delivered consulting services to my clients, I would host dozens of live learning events with folks like you after work hours – because the reality is most people don’t have the luxury of leaving their full time job to plan, launch and run a new business. So they rush from their job across town to attend my live courses in town. But even that doesn’t work for everyone. And that doesn’t mean their desire to be self employed fades away. They remain stuck, their dream biz gets pushed further back and the “wish I had” conversations reoccur in their heads, over and over.
Using my experience and teaching principles I mapped out a process and plan that I now share with others. Thankfully I knocked out all the kinks over the past four years, removed complex tasks and simplified them – so you are the winning benefactor! I now share my 5 Simple Building Blocks framework and signature program that I designed for my local clients and now make it available to a global community of Dream Launchers – members of the Busy 9 to 5ers Hive a free Facebook group.
Something I consistently share with my tribe of Dream Launchers is that while you can go into business for yourself, you don’t have to do it alone. Nor should you. First and foremost – you don’t know what you don’t know.
- And as the saying goes, there is truly power in numbers.
- Becoming a part of a mastermind or group-think helped me tremendously
- Having a special mentor and super coach allowed me to get my head in the game.
- With such support, I was bound and determined to succeed.
Four years later I have gone from a scrappy solopreneur flying around the country providing training services for national publishing companies to make ends meet to:
- a thriving entrepreneur owning a consulting firm
- 8 full and part-time team servicing multiple contracts
- the proud partner of a bootstrap online social network for expats,
- coaching a tribe full of folks like you that want to do the same.
Because being stuck isn’t a good feeling – and I’d love to problem solve with you and move the stumbling blocks out of the way and provide the building blocks that will help you get results.
I am a teacher at heart, always have been. I take joy in sharing knowledge. And get a natural high from my participants who have their “ah ha” moments from each learning event I host. As well as leave with a “knowledge nugget” or two. I can’t tell you the number of nuggets I myself have gathered during my entrepreneurial journey. A personal realization for me is that being a business owner of any size is 1- exhilarating, 2 – emotional and 3 – a continuous improvement process. Let’s walk this dream launcher journey together.
