Laurie's life journey is a testament to unwavering faith, entrepreneurial spirit, and the transformative power of resilience. Rooted in a lifelong foundation of Christian values, instilled from her upbringing and a pivotal move from Texas to Middle Tennessee in 1986, Laurie embarked on a path marked by both professional achievement and personal devotion.
In 1993, driven by a profound desire to nurture her growing family, Laurie made a courageous decision to transition from a decade-long, successful career as an accountant at a Fortune 500 company. This pivotal moment, coinciding with her husband's aspiration to pursue his calling in law enforcement, became a catalyst for a life dedicated to purpose and service. Through prayerful consideration, they embraced both paths, demonstrating a commitment to faith-led action.
God has uniquely privileged Laurie to serve Him in numerous capacities over the past few decades. Her entrepreneurial journey began with the inception of her web & graphics, branding, marketing, and design company. Recognizing her talents as gifts to be shared, she pledged to utilize her skills for divine purpose. This commitment manifested in the creation of over a thousand websites, marketing materials, training platforms, and courses for pastors, churches, evangelists, missionaries, colleges, and a diverse range of business clients. Her expertise extended to comprehensive rebranding initiatives, empowering organizations to articulate their vision with clarity and impact.
Beyond her business acumen, Laurie is a prolific author, having penned the best-selling books "Keep Those Clients" and "We All Have Choices," and co-founded the transformative "Gratitude Girls - 100 Day Gratitude Journal Challenge." She has also contributed her insights to three additional publications. As a sought-after motivational speaker and corporate sales trainer, Laurie inspires audiences with her authentic voice and empowering message, often called upon for special speaking engagements around the world. Her dedication to education is further evidenced by her five years of teaching at her children's Christian school and her subsequent decision to homeschool them, allowing her to balance her growing speaking career with her commitment to family.
Her mission to empower women to embrace their God-given potential has taken her across the globe, where she shares her wisdom and encouragement with diverse audiences. Laurie's life, however, has not been without profound challenges. In 2013, she experienced the devastating loss of her children's father in a tragic accident, navigating the complexities of grief while raising her four children, then aged 25, 18, 16, and 12.
Believing in God's guidance for her life, Laurie remarried in April 2020 to Kevin Radecki, following their meeting in December 2019. Laurie prayed for exactly what she wanted in a husband and God showed Himself strong in giving her more than she asked in a God-fearing and God-loving husband.
Laurie's unique experiences over the past few decades provide special insight and encouragement for those who take her courses. Her story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the transformative power of faith, and the profound impact of living a life dedicated to purpose and service. Her journey inspires others to embrace their own unique paths, to overcome adversity with grace, and to live with unwavering gratitude and purpose.

February is a great time to check in with yourself to ensure you receive the best self-love only you can give yourself.
My wish for you is to make time for self-care and give yourself daily self-love!
Start by asking yourself, am I giving to myself every day?
Your ultimate goal should be daily love to your:
Look, it’s easy to get overwhelmed in the day-to-day juggling of:
And of course, balancing our emotional well-being that gets lost along the way.
In essence, self-love is finding a “balanced living” by balancing all aspects of your life.
“Life balance is a lifelong journey of commitment to achieving the most solid and authentic ‘VISION’ of oneself.”
Here are some self-love tips and resources to find “life balance” to create the life you desire:
I hope these self-care tips will inspire you a little more every day to find overall health, emotional well-being, and a balanced lifestyle.
Lastly, don’t forget to celebrate “YOU” and your wins!
Happy Valentine’s Day,
P.S., Would you add anything to these self-love tips?
If so, I’d love to connect with you and share powerful resources to honor one’s:
For a balanced life.
Answer these questions:
Indeed, like it or not, technology mutates every day, changing communication in every aspect of our business.
Although, communication through:
Are critical ways to communicate in business; they don’t help us with what matters most “The client’s heart.”
But not to worry, there is powerful marketing and technology that has the power to connect you to your customers hearts:
First off, “social media marketing.”
We already know that social media connects people by the stories and experiences they share.
However, the point I want to make is that most people express what personally matters most on social media by sharing photos of:
And so much more!
When this happens, we find ourselves trying to connect and be seen by commenting on the posts that matter most to them, right?
Sadly, these comments are not tangible and get lost amongst all other comments, and are rarely:
And most always forgotten!
Second, “tangible marketing.”
Imagine just for a moment how you would feel when you open your mailbox to find a photo postcard celebrating the special moment you recently posted on social media.
I would venture to guess that this unexpected photo postcard would bring a smile to your face and heart and then most likely end up on the refrigerator or mantle.
Talk about marketing with heart, and I’ll bet you’ll never forget who sent it!
Hence, I’m excited to introduce marketing that combines social media photos with online and smartphone technology!
The Photo Postcard Program

The “Photo Postcard Program” will help you:
“It’s fun, easy, and becomes a peak performance habit.”
I’m gonna call it like it is! 🙂
We spend so much time behind our desks, on keyboards, and our phones scrolling social media; WHY not take the time to blow the top off your competition by creating a peak performance habit of celebrating what’s happening inside your clients world?
Here are 3 reasons why?

Many companies ignore Valentine’s Day because they don’t recognize the potential positive impact on their bottom line.
Nowadays, research has shown that people enjoy receiving cards in the mail more than ever before.
Research also shows that communication with social media messages, texting, and the uncertainty of opening emailed e-cards (for fear of viruses) have a much lower response rate than sending a greeting card.
For sure it’s no surprise that when Valentine’s Day comes around, most people think of their:
Unfortunately, not their customers.
This is why I can’t express myself strongly enough!
While other companies are ignoring Valentine’s Day, you should be embracing it.
Why, you ask?
Simply because it allows businesses to connect with customers and make an unexpected impact with an empowering experience.
That’s why! To make “an empowering customer experience” that has the potential to increase your bottom line in business and sales.
If that’s not a good enough reason to appreciate your customers on Valentine’s, I don’t know what is!

Food was SOOO good!
You go in and order w the cook, Kevin gave his order to the guy, he said nothing….so I wasn’t sure if I should go ahead or if he was thinking, or ready etc lol but he was busy getting the food! You are served it right away!
Then you turn around n tell the cashier what you got, she was super sweet! Nice smile, could have ‘upsold’ drinks cuz we didn’t order any, but did not realize n weren’t offered lol
Sat down to eat, games I assume you can play above one window, not sure about some dolls (some looked btoke, like doll heads) above the other window.
We were the only people in there, chef/guy in back came out to talk to the girl about some lights, (since they are a new diner, could have asked how food was, how we liked it, made a conversation but didn’t.
But once again food was great!
My husband would love sauces they offer without onions 😂
He got the #pulledhog w #broccolicasserole and #augratinpotatoes
I got #bakedchicken #steamedveggies #broccolicasserole
All was super yummy!
