In May 2009, I travelled to Toronto to film it at the CBC Studios, and thought I’d share my experience with you here.
I feel SO privileged that I was selected out of THOUSANDS of entrepreneurs!! I went to pitch the Dragons’ by myself and WOW, let me tell you, that experience was the ULTIMATE test in my confidence!!!
I wasn’t nervous throughout the day– until I entered the Dragons’ Den and started walking down the steep steps in my stilettos, and carrying my big display board, and a big purse full of high heels and my DVDs. The CBC studios are massive, and while I walked across the cold concrete floor, with blindingly bright spotlights shining in my eyes, the rhythmic click, clack, click, clack of my stilettos with every step I took, was echoing loudly, like some sort of like morris code letting everyone know I had arrived. It wasn’t until then that suddenly my nerves kicked it. WOAH -I’m really here, and I’m really doing it! It was such a powerful experience.
In just one year my High Heel Appeal has skyrocketed. The incredibly big goals that I set for myself were being achieved, and my dreams were coming true, and much quicker than I expected! (And it is only just the beginning 🙂
I went to The Dragon’s Den with 3 goals.
1) To gain investors
2) To gain the exposure for my businesses
3) To show people that having self-confidence can get you anywhere you want to be. I’m living my principles that I teach my clients and students.
My pitch aired on November 3rd, 2010 on CBC Television.
Here are some pics of the adventure. The picture of me with the martini glass is SO funny…I was out for dinner at Young & Dundas Square, at Milestones right after the filming, to celebrate the experience and the strangest/coolest thing…I ordered a blackberry martini and it came out with little high heels as a garnish!! WOAH –that’s a good sign!
I started both my businesses based on things that I am truly passionate about.
Ask anyone who knows me, and they’ll tell you that I am a very passionate person.
When you are doing what you love, your passion for it is obvious to others and that makes the difference between a rewarding career and a job. In addition to having passion it is imperative that we set goals for our self. Great achievements are the result of passion, SMARTER goal setting, commitment AND self-confidence.
I know firsthand the crucial steps required to set and achieve your goals and to live the life that you dream about. The life that you see other people living and think to yourself: “WOW, look at her/him, that’s amazing. But I could never do that.” But deep down you’ve always wondered what it would be like. The life you want to live is out there waiting for you. Whatever that incredible dream is that you have suppressed over the years, it CAN be achieved. It’s absolutely possible. I can help you get there!
