Building success by being authentically you

This week I interviewed someone who completely blew me away, someone whom I only met a few weeks ago, but immediately felt her energy before walking in the room. Megs Everett is not only intriguing but is a remarkable problem-solver, relationship builder, CEO and founder of a multi-million-dollar business, and someone who’s soul set mine on fire the minute I met her.

Listen to this episode to hear how one woman used trauma and pain to shift her life, drive her motivation, and overcome by truly caring about those around her, and using her gifts to build a 27-million-dollar tech company in just three years.

Listen now

Putting her family first

Megs starts this episode describing her childhood, the pain and abuse her family endured from her father, and how, as the oldest of three sisters, she took on the role of protecting her family. She describes the moment she had enough, the anger she felt towards both her parents, and the call she made that changed everything.

Connecting with clients

As she transitioned out of college, she shares the various roles and jobs she acquired, her need to get approval in male-dominated fields, and how she quickly excelled in sales. She describes her success in sales, how she was making a massive income just by caring about her clients, putting in the time to genuinely do what they enjoyed, and by showing up for them.

Problem-solving and shifting her life

Megs describes the minute she had enough, the traumatic deaths that encouraged her to walk away from her job and find something better. She shares the debilitating hardship that followed soon after starting her own company and what it took to overcome the events that almost lost her everything. She describes what it takes to pick yourself back up, to power through, and how to face pain and use it not only for success, but for the greater good.

Megs Everett

Megan is a SaaS and EdTech Founder and CEO, a board member/ advisor for other companies and non-profits, an investor and speaker. She continues to volunteer in her community through youth soccer and domestic violence shelters. Meg has worked with everyone from Mark Cuban Companies to Influencers like Mark Groves @createthelove. She’s kind, decisive, gives epic advice, all while unapologetically being herself.

Megan launched Perfrm in just 7 months from brainstorming it in a grocery store parking lot. By month 10 Perfrm was bringing in 100k MRR and continues to grow every month. To the public she seems to move through major life events and issues seamlessly, but she talks about those issues openly on social media and her new podcast UnQualified. In Megan’s words "I’m just a small-town girl who decided at 7 she wanted to change the world. So that was always the goal - work hard and make a difference."

Quotes:
“The things that we learn from early on in life we take with us. The beliefs that are born based on our environment and maybe some abuse and words, even one sentence, for me it was one sentence that changed my beliefs for my entire life moving forward and that is powerful sh*t, and those are things that make us afraid to walk in a room.” 7:45

“I ended up in hospital administration, which is not something I ever thought I would do; I was really good at it though.” -Megs 15:09

“When we are dealing from a place that we wounded from and we haven’t done any of our healing yet that can get pretty destructive.” 20:13

“It is really genuinely about giving a sh*t, about what this company, this person, this business whatever needs, genuinely caring and listening.” 23:27

“Anytime there has been significant loss or pain it is always followed by a shift and we figure out how this is working for us, and it’s hard to make sense of it especially when people are ripped out of our lives.” ... 29:22

“Losing my dad was my catalyst for change too, the no f**ks given, like we only get one shot at this and tomorrow is not guaranteed and you know I’m not going to let them leaving this earth mean nothing, so let's go do something with it.” 29:57

“It was a lot of hard lessons, but I look at it now and I’m not angry anymore, because I got to work all that out.” -Megs 38:31

“Flying under the radar is where I knew I was safe, and I know it’s the very thing that causes me to sabotage from time to time, it’s the very thing that has me playing small too.” 43:47

“I have been so comfortable being heard and not seen for long, being seen is not where I feel comfortable.” -Megs 44:35

“Your story does need to be told, and people do need to know who you are.” 46:46
