I'd had successes in so many different, seemingly unrelated fields. I’d co-written a Netflix movie starring Danny Trejo. I'd overcome bulimia + abusive relationships. Oxygen Magazine named me "Pilates Pro" + I'd owned a Pilates studio for 7 years. I’d operated a quarter of a million dollar startup. That’s when it hit me - COACHING! But I had trouble sustaining motivation in my business, or even, really, getting started. 😫 I constantly compared myself to other coaches. 😫 I felt drained, exhausted, and frustrated. 😫 I avoided doing things I knew I should do because I was afraid of rejection. Then a line on a stick turned blue. I knew I needed to take EVERYTHING to the next level. So... ✅ I got plan, strategies and an accountability partner to get me there. ✅ I got certified in new processes to break through my mental blocks. ✅ I shifted my inner dialogue. I went ALL-IN. Fast forward two years and a 👶🏼 later… I closed my Pilates studio, scaled my biz 389% in 2018, and lived as a digital nomad in Australia with my family. I now coach other high achievers to do the same. ⭐️ WHO DO I WORK WITH? 👸🏻 Business owners + Entrepreneurs 👸🏿 Directors + Executives 👸🏽 High Achieving Professionals ⭐️ WHAT DO I DO? I deliver a ‘1-1’ combo of NLP, Time Line Therapy®, hypnosis, and high performance coaching, proven to achieve… 💗 Endurance + centeredness to be successful longterm 💗 More confidence, boldness, and energy 💗 An increase in sales up to 300% while doing meaningful work ↠ “Working with Kimberly one-on-one was one of the most transformational experiences of my life. I hit $554,000 in sales in the year I worked with her and got engaged!” ~Jessica McCann ↠ "I had my first $10,000 month after working with Kimberly!” ~Vondell Richmond 🎙Podcast: http://bit.ly/theprincessandtheb CONTACT 💌 info@crownyourself.com

A U.S. Marine, Coury has seen and done a lot in his 45 years in Las Vegas. Coury is an observational entrepreneur, a “niche finder,” in his words. With nearly every venture he has undertaken, alongside various business partners including Dan Hughes, Don Tamburro and Tom Boeckle, he identified operational nuances that led to enhanced levels of success with all their ventures. This mindset was fascinating to execute in a young, growing town like Las Vegas since his arrival in 1973.   Coury has worked as a casino dealer, real estate agent, founder of a limousine service and a partner in bars, restaurants, major graphics and glass companies, along with several automobile dealerships in Nevada and California.    As a niche finder Coury says, “When you can demonstrate a need in any area of industry, your job is to find a cure, believe you can implement it, raise the money to do so, form the team and make it happen: a new business is born.”   In the 1970s and ’80s, visionaries willing to go for it found Las Vegas to be a prime setting for fulfilling their entrepreneurial aspirations. Coury, year after year, pulled together concepts with his partners, identified funding and implementation, and enjoyed riding the wildest fun-filled roller coaster of business and life.   From growing up on the streets of Brooklyn in the ’60s and early ’70s to surviving the good-ole-boy and Wild-West business and political climate of old school Las Vegas, this book is a testament to how Coury’s courage and perseverance enabled him to prevail against unethical, illegal and seemingly insurmountable obstacles along the path toward achieving his goals and dreams. Coury also chronicles his biggest challenge of all, beating esophageal cancer against the longest of odds.    Ron is a major business figure in Las Vegas and former U.S. Marine. Coury is an observational entrepreneur, a “niche finder,” in his words. With nearly every venture he has undertaken, alongside various business partners including Dan Hughes, Don Tamburro and Tom Boeckle, he identified operational nuances that led to enhanced levels of success with all their ventures. Most recently, he wrote Tenacity, a memoir focuses on the determination necessary to overcome any and all unjust obstacles that may stand in the way of one’s dreams.   Links:  https://roncouryauthor.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Tenacity-Businessman-Survives-Brooklyn-Corruption-ebook/dp/B07KDLDB66 https://www.linkedin.com/in/roncouryauthor/ https://twitter.com/ron_coury
