I couldn’t believe it. On a prime-time talk show, a fellow producer was the star guest. This was my eureka moment. He wasn’t on the show because his company was doing better work than mine—he was there because everyone knew his name. That’s when I realized: The people getting the big commissions, the ones selling their businesses, were the ones who were visible. It hit me hard. In my 20s, I had been in front of the camera myself. I had my own segment—The Remy Report—syndicated across 220 stations in the U.S. I was even booked on The Geraldo Rivera Show and The Joan Rivers Show. Back then, I believed visibility and recognition were everything. If people knew my name, I thought I was proving I was good enough. But it wasn’t long before I learned a tough lesson: fame and self-worth are not the same thing. I realized my value wasn’t tied to being on screen, and I stepped away to focus on producing. I deliberately avoided the spotlight for years, thinking my work would speak for itself. But watching that producer on TV, I realized that if no one knows who you are, no matter how good your work is, you’ll be overlooked. 😱 That’s when everything changed. I knew I had to take action: • I started writing industry columns. • I put myself forward for panels at major industry events. • I did TV interviews about shows I was producing. It wasn’t comfortable, but I realized that visibility was essential for success. Now, as a coach, I focus on helping my clients have their breakthroughs. It’s not about me—it’s about them. But I’ve learned that even in coaching, clients won’t come to you if they’ve never heard of you. Here’s what I’ve learned: • Visibility is key: It’s not about fame; it’s about trust and recognition. • Self-promotion isn’t ego: It’s about making sure the right people see your work. • You have to be your own advocate: No one else will do it for you. Today, I write weekly for The Hollywood Reporter, have contributed to Forbes, and regularly post on LinkedIn. I appear on podcasts, and I even had a camera crew film a documentary about my work.

I’m excited to have you here as part of this community—a space for founders and entrepreneurs who are building your own businesses. Why Mindset Matters Success isn’t just about strategy or hard work—it starts in your mind. If you’re stuck doubting yourself or feeling “not good enough,” that mindset will hold you back from building, growing, and eventually selling your business successfully. Believing you’re worth it will transform the decisions you make, the people you attract, and the opportunities that come your way. Your mindset is your most powerful tool, and through our work together, we’ll unlock its full potential. What You’ll Learn Here Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing my strategies for success—what’s worked for me and what hasn’t. I’ll also help you learn from some of the mistakes I’ve made that cost me millions, so you can avoid the same pitfalls. My goal is to help you fast-track your progress and build a solid foundation for your business. Inspiring Leadership In our weekly live sessions, I’m looking forward to introducing you to other inspirational leaders. These are people who’ve been where you are now and have overcome challenges to build successful businesses. Their insights will help inspire your own journey. The Energy of Success Think about the most dynamic, creative person you know in your industry—someone whose energy is magnetic. How do they carry themselves? What vibe do they give off? That energy is something you can learn to tap into, channeling it to grow your own success. Next, consider a highly successful person you admire, whether in your industry or another. What personal quality do they have that you feel would make you a stronger entrepreneur? Whether it’s resilience, boldness, or vision, identifying those traits is the first step toward embodying them in your own journey. Harnessing the Power of the Circle In this community, we’re harnessing the collective energy, insights, and support of fellow founders and entrepreneurs to help make your businesses a success. Together, we’ll work through challenges, share experiences, and refine our strategies. This is your space to grow, learn, and thrive.
