About the Episode:
In today’s episode, we’re talking to Beate Chelette, the entrepreneur, consultant and speaker behind The Growth Architect, a training program that’s landed her on Huffington Post’s list of the 50 Must-Follow Women Entrepreneurs of the year.
As the author of the international best-selling book, Happy Woman, Happy World, Beate focuses much of her work on helping women-led businesses and entrepreneurs to unlock their biggest challenges and reach true scale with their companies. Beate’s personal story is an unbelievable one.
Originally from Germany, she immigrated to the US and eventually found herself in Los Angeles. Always an entrepreneur at heart, Beate took her interest in photography and parlayed that into a growing stock photography business.
However, at one point in time, she found herself $135,000 in debt as a single mother, but through A LOT of hard work and creative problem-solving, she went on to build a very powerful niche market for her stock photography business, and she sold that company to a Bill Gates-owned entertainment media brand.
