She was about to give birth to her first child when she decided, rather suddenly, that she would start her own business. Three more children later she has launched her second business. Jaime Cross is our guest today on Leading Matters.

My conversation with Jaime Cross for today’s episode of Leading Matters is perhaps like no other interview that I’ve had. There is something uniquely magnetic about Jaime. She is the type of woman who people find themselves drawn to. Her humility, passion, and drive are an intoxicating mix that will leave you feeling as though you just gained a new friend. Well, at least that is how I felt. Let me know what you think, and enjoy the show.

Highlights

Literally Following a Dream
Just before the birth of her first child Jaime had a crystal clear vision in a dream about the six figure business she would eventually lead.

Don’t Go It Alone
You need a supporting network. Not critiques, not naysayers, or a cadre of stress inducers, you need support.

Her New Business is About Sharing Her Mistakes
Jaime says she made just about every mistake you could make as she developed her skin care business. She now is building her second business, the Her Effect, to help women who are venturing out into entrepreneurship learn from those mistakes that she made.

Clarity is Gained Through Action
Jaime set out to create skin care products and suddenly realized there’d be some chemistry involved. A subject that was not her forte. So what did she do? She started reading up in the wee hours of the morning as she nursed her newborn son.

Big Wins Are Predicated By Small
Focus on first things first and take care of the littlest detail, says Jaime. Because those small little wins fuel confidence and guide us to the big wins that we have our hearts set on.
