Through his consulting firm helps companies from MIT startups and small businesses to the Fortune 500 increase their revenue by focusing on the fastest, least expensive and most cost-effective programs to get more leads and sales.

Episode 39 - William Hung Unlikely American Idol to International Sensation and Back

In this episode Shakira Brown a.k.a The Small Biz Whisperer goes in depth with the “star” one of American Idol’s most infamous auditions. Hung took a leap of faith and stood on line for hours to sing his favorite song “She Bangs” in front of the judges for a chance to make it to Hollywood. He didn’t have the pipes to be invited for the big stage, but his bold and comical audition catapulted him to stardom in a different way. Hung, who famously said he had no regrets and tried his best after being panned by snarky Simon Cowell, ultimately turned sour lemons into lemonade. He became and international sensation getting paid to perform in his personal style of singing. He rode the typical 15 minutes of fame wave for FOUR years, but when the calls stopped coming in his star faded. Today, Hung is on a path to reinvention and he joined me on the Moment Masters Show with update and advice for anyone who has trouble taking risks. In Hung’s words, “If you keep believing in yourself you can become unique, you can become one of a kind and make the impact you are always looking for.” Listen to this entertaining and inspiring Moment Masters Show interview with William Hung for a new way of thinking about Hung and perhaps even yourself.

Episode 38 - Changing Your Ways By Facing Your Faults (Fortune Cookie Episode)

In this special “Fortune Cookie” episode of the Moment Masters Show Shakira Brown a.k.a The Small Biz Whisperer tackles the prickly subject of small business owners owning up to their constant dysfunction [http://www.functionalentrepreneur.com/#WEBINAR]. The theme of the episode is based on a fortune message she discovered in her fortune cookie stating, “Not to alter one’s faults is to be a faulty indeed.” The Small Biz Whisperers fortune cookie conjured up thoughts about why many small businesses fail and how often the failure of entrepreneurs to right their faults block their success. Shakira shares three stories of small business owners so stuck in their faulty ways that it prevents them from getting the results that they truly desire and desperately need to stay afloat. During the episode she unpacks how many business owners make the unofficial definition of insanity said to be “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result” all too true. This episode clearly highlights how small business leaders struggle because they are ineffective at getting out of their own way and as a result lose an incredible amount of money, profit and opportunity which sometimes leads the businesses to close for good. Most importantly, in this episode small business owners LIKE YOU will be able to see how failing to implement a strategy around any aspect of your business will never yield the results you want. Shakira Brown, The Small Biz Whisperer tells it like it is, “If you feel like you can do everything you’re wrong. If you feel like you will survive the first three years of your business by doing everything yourself to save money you’re wrong. Everybody needs to invest in their business and hire people who are great at what THEY do. Find a budget to do it.” Listen to this episode to be inspired to make the changes necessary to become a Functional Entrepreneurtm [http://www.functionalentrepreneur.com/]to grow the business YOU really want.
