Bio:
Deb Schell started her career in community building and business development after she was an active member in an online community that led her to quit her corporate job and begin living location independently, going after her dream of becoming a travel writer.
But then a Global pandemic started and the world stopped traveling, and Deb jumped online and started a new community, to help people find calm in daily life. The launch of this membership as a business strategy failed but that led to Deb's consulting business.
Since 2020, Deb has worked with over 50 Entrepreneurs across the globe who all have a vision, mission, or purpose. These amazing creators have found a way to take their life's work and help others solve their problems, challenges, and provide a safe space in an online setting.
Deb has helped guide clients towards making decisions that fit with their ideal lifestyle, bring them additional income, and help them find calm.
