Skill Up on Making Decisions with January Donovan, Founder & CEO of The Woman School

On this episode, I got to talk with January Donovan, the founder of the Woman School as she talks about growing her business from $0 to becoming a millionaire as a wife and mother of 8.  Check out her bio below and give us a listen:  January Donovan is the founder of The Woman School and The Wholeness Coaching  School. She is a #1 best-selling author, an entrepreneur, and a mother of 8 children. She has over 20 years of experience training women. January had a bold dream to build a school designed to train women with the practical  skills to manage their lives. She spent 15 years training women for free before  realizing that in order to reach millions, she had to learn to build a business and do so  while prioritizing her family. The business grew from 0 to a multimillion dollar company reaching 40 countries in  under three years and landing her the title as one of Forbes Magazine’s top coaches.  She then went on to found The Wholeness Coaching School where she teaches men  and women to build their own coaching businesses using mindset and skill-set training  to design every part of their life. She co-founded The Man School with her husband  and quickly expanded to The Woman School en Español. Her passion fuels her discipline as a wife, mother, and business owner because we  can’t give what we do not have. We were created to live a life of meaning and  contribution, we just need to train up for it. January believes that life without skills is hard, skills give us choices. We suffer  unnecessary overwhelm, stress, and anxiety simply because we are undertrained. We  battle feeling like a failure when in reality, the world has failed to prepare us. We can  no longer afford to hand over a generation of men and women who doubt their worth  and give up on who they were created to be. We cannot afford a life without training,  we need to skill up. She believes that it is time for our world to recognize the value of the ‘whole’ person  and not just what the culture dictates makes us valuable; we are more than our  achievements. We are in the business of valuing and integrating the whole person. Her dream is to have a school not just to empower men and women, but to equip them  with practical training. It is only then that we can create a ripple effect in our homes,  our communities, our relationships, and our careers. We change the world by changing  our interior world first. As a wife and mother of 8 children, she is fierce about integrating business and  motherhood. Our professional dreams cannot be apart from our personal dreams; we  just need to train up for them. Motherhood is an olympic sport and the gold medal is  raising children that will bring good into the world. If we want true success then we  have to train ourselves to build businesses that integrate every part of our lives
