In this episode I’ll be interviewing Rae Majors-Wildman about her two day Skyrocket Your Sales Summit.

A survivor of domestic violence, she successfully raised her child as a single mother on welfare. When most would expect her to stay down, she shattered the stereotypes and became a successful certified coach and entrepreneur. She also experienced her fair share of tragedies, and this has allowed her to understand the struggles her clients faced.

At age 38, she graduated with Honors in Counseling Psychology. Rae has been trained by some of the best in the business from Chet Holmes, a man who ran over 7 divisions for Warren Buffet’s partner Charlie Munger to Anthony Robbins and John Assaraf.

Rae has the ability to read people’s passions inside and out and this insight is what makes her a unique business coach. With over 10,000 coaching hours under her belt, she has successfully coached every business from start-up at the ground-level to Fortune 100 companies earning over $10 million dollars in sales. She will not stop until you go all the way.

Alexis McCollom founded Equus Athletics with the hope of instilling in equestrians the same sense of pride that is instilled in traditional athletes for their sports, because what she began to realize through her experiences in the traditional athletic world was that she wasn’t simply an athlete who rides, she was an athlete because she road.

She’s also created a unique product for grooming her horses that she’s recently brought to market.
