Today we’d like to introduce you to Ariel Jones.
Ariel, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I was in the process of finishing up my Master’s Degree in Psychology and Coaching Certifications when my company underwent a departmental management change. Unfortunately, with the new change, the incoming director was bringing in her own team. It was a very stressful time for me. Having four children at home and not knowing what was next. It was at this point that I decided that I would never again allow my career and financial future to be controlled by someone else. I completed my Coaching Certification and Master’s Degree, sought out a Coach and began the necessary work to launch what is now The Ariel Jones Life Coaching Co. I have now been self employed 6 years.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Building a company from the ground up is full of obstacles. It wasn’t easy. It was almost 1 year before I was hired. The biggest struggle I faced was developing a brand and marketing strategy that was unique to what I was offering. There are a lot of Coaches in Houston and I had to make sure that what I had to offer was different than anything else my potential clients would see while searching for Coaches. This is why I stress the importance of having a branding and marketing Coach to assist you with the process. This isn’t something you want to take on and Use a DIY method.
Please tell us about Ariel Jones Life Coaching.
I am the sole owner of The Ariel Jones Life Coaching Co.. I am also known as The Devour Coach. I specialize in Professional Coaching that helps my clients discover the negative patterns in their life and retrains their though processes towards healthier choices. What sets me apart as a Coach, I believe is my life experiences and my ability to relate first hand to each and every client the universe sends my way. I don’t believe that people just randomly stumble upon my company. I believe that when they see my website or online listings there is something that speaks to their inner struggles. The thing that I am most proud of is that I didn’t give up on my promise and now I help people live a better life. My company is changing our clients lives in the best way possible. They leave my company with a healthier outlook on life, relationships and their career.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
Reflecting back on everything that I overcame, I would say I would have delegated more instead of trying to do it all. I would have hired my Branding Coach a lot earlier on in the process.
