			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The client:  Steve Mass</strong></p>
<p>Steve is a  smart, energetic guy who was lacking direction in his life.</p>
<p>He wanted to make more money and do right by his family, but with no vision, no organizational skills and self&#8211;confidence running low, his outlook was not so good.</p>
<p><span id="more-176"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://amyapplebaum.com/success_stories/case-studies/steve-mass/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p><strong>The goals!</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Make  more money</li>
<li>Start  his own business</li>
<li>Overcome  a fear of public speaking</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The plan!</strong></p>
<p>Amy immediately saw that there was great potential in Steve, and targeted the two things really holding him back – his poor organizational skills and low self-confidence.   Amy shifted Steve’s belief in himself – and created assignments to help build up his confidence.  She also got him organized &#8212; creating a clear picture of what needed to be done and a plan for success.</p>
<p>Together, Amy and Steve then set out to begin accomplishing his vision of having his own company, one step at a time.</p>
<p><strong>The results!</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Steve started his own successful business and his monthly income went from $4,000/month to over $30,000/ month</li>
<li>He gained the financial stability to start a family with his wife</li>
<li>Steve started giving high-profile presentations within his industry and started a second successful business</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>*By his own definition, Steve got his “butt kicked” by Amy as she challenged him to overcome his fears, get organized and start doing the things he’d been talking about for years. </strong></p>

<p>Mona was  overweight, deeply in debt and suffered from<br />
severe self-esteem issues.</p>
<p><span id="more-178"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://amyapplebaum.com/success_stories/case-studies/mona-nigro/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p><strong>The goals!</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Improve  internal health</li>
<li>Lose  30 pounds</li>
<li>Regain  financial integrity with her creditors</li>
<li>Feel  good about herself again</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The plan!</strong></p>
<p>Amy worked closely with Mona, developing a series of daily activities, assignments &amp; exercise regimens.  Amy challenged Mona to stop talking about the life she wanted, and instead showed her how to take real action towards achieving her goals &amp; living her “dream life.”</p>
<p><strong>The results!</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Mona lost 27 pounds, and her health improved dramatically</li>
<li>She got a big promotion at work, DOUBLING her income</li>
<li>She met a wonderful man</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>*Through Amy’s program, Mona was able to develop a process to break through her problems and really learn how to love and respect HERSELF!  Amy believed in her – and from that, she began to believe in herself. Mona is happy, out of debt and more gorgeous than ever! </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The client:  Jes Hudak</strong></p>
<p>Jes was  stuck.  Her life was going nowhere as she sat<br />
on the couch all day watching TV.</p>
<p>Jes had big dreams and tremendous ability, but she just couldn’t seem to  get things started.</p>
<p><span id="more-180"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://amyapplebaum.com/success_stories/case-studies/jes-hudak/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p><strong>The goals!</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Develop  financial and personal integrity</li>
<li>Find  a job in New York City</li>
<li>Kick-start  her singing career</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The plan</strong></p>
<p>Jes was a dream client for Amy, in that she had so many wonderful qualities and skills – but just needed a way to implement them.  Amy created real structure for Jes, helping her to get organized, develop additional self-confidence and reach for her goals.</p>
<p><strong>The results!</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Jes began playing in the hottest venues in Los Angeles and New York</li>
<li>She has toured the country opening up for: Maroon 5, Tonic and Five for Fighting. She also toured with Enrique Iglesias in Central America.</li>
<li>Jes was a top contestant on both CBS Rockstar: Inxs and American Idol.</li>
<li>She was invited to sing the National Anthem at the Giants Stadium</li>
<li>She performed the Tom Jones song, &#8216;Chills and Fever&#8217; for a national Pantene commercial.</li>
<li>Jes was named ISSA&#8217;s Singer/Songwriter of the Year 2009.</li>
<li>She won Pop Single of the Year 2009 at the LA Music Awards</li>
</ul>
<p>And, most recently, Jes’s “No One In The World” Video was selected as AOL’s Music Video of The Day and she won best song, in the Pop Category, for the Billboard Song Contest, one of the most prestigious contests in the world.</p>
<p><strong>*Before she met Amy, Jes was accountable to no one and lacked ANY form of direction in her life.  After Amy’s program, Jes accomplished the majority of her long-term goals and her music career is in full force.</strong></p>
