I’m on a mission to ensure that you live life by design, create your future and achieve your version of success by embracing the possibilities online business offers you. This is my vision (in Painted Picture format) for Awaken Dreams Success Coaching, Consulting & Design; Designs by Debi; and Hawaii Escape to Paradise (divisions of my company, Makana Mai Akua, Inc.) and how I'm going to achieve that by the end of 2016. Sharing it with you helps it become a reality and holds me accountable. I hope it inspires you to see what's possible and write a Painted Picture of your own. Thank you for reading and sharing. http://www.Makana-Mai-Akua-Inc.com

It’s the go-to destination for creative entrepreneurs who want to live life by design, create their future, and achieve their version of success by challenging business-as-usual... and be surrounded by others who “get it.” It wins awards for excellence. Members sing its praises from the rooftops. And I have a multitude of affiliates recommending it.
- 18. Since my one-to-one time is limited, I have a strict “red velvet rope policy.” My 1-on-1 coaching time is reserved for those most committed to the process. I prefer to spend my time and energy on self-motivated and determined action-takers, because implementation is critical to achieving massive results.

I excel at expressing deep meaning and symbolism in jewelry. That helps people. Through my jewelry, I help them celebrate, express themselves, champion causes, grieve and remember. With memorial jewelry I try to capture the essence of their loved one and the relationship they shared, creating a treasured keepsake that will last a lifetime. I love being able to create such meaningful keepsakes!

- 33. I believe in doing business “the old-fashioned way” ...back when loyalty, dedication and hard work actually meant something, and were appreciated and rewarded.
- 36. I pay fair wages to all team members and benefits to employees. I aim to give my team a work-life balance and allow them to put family first; while still holding them accountable, making sure work gets done and revenues consistently grow. I offer a great deal of flexibility in work hours and environment, and give employees a generous amount of paid leave every year.
- 37. We strive for Excellence&Continuous Improvement • to produce the best products for customers • to produce the best results for clients • to create the best working conditions and culture for employees and contractors
- 39. I believe in... • leading by example • never asking anyone to do anything I wouldn’t do myself • respecting and trusting the knowledge and experience of my team members
- 40. No one is perfect... including me. I struggle just as others do. I have strengths and weaknesses; know what they are; use my strengths; and seek help (and team members) to make up for weaknesses. I’m open about both • to help my business run better, and • in hopes others can be helped by what I openly share For example... although I’m well aware of the importance of implementation, I struggle with it due to short-term memory loss. So I put a lot of effort into this... and found a way to help others at the same time... Clients rave about my accountability and implementation programs because they get them taking action and seeing results!

- 44. I appreciate and empower my team. I treat them well, encourage them to work in their sweet spot, and offer opportunities for growth, knowing that it will sometimes mean losing valuable team members to other ventures.
- 45. People who work for me love it and turnover is very low. (They usually leave because they’ve been inspired to start their own business.) And, once someone leaves, there’s a line of people jumping at the chance to take their place.
- 51. I’ve built a great deal of systems into my business, and we use automation to our advantage as much as possible. I’m always willing to invest in products and services that can save me and my team time sothatwecangivepersonalattentiontopeople whenandwhereitmattersmost.

- 54. Thecostofmycoaching&consultingservices isastretchformanyofmyclientsinitially. However... they receive many times that cost in value, and make the investment back by taking action and implementing the action plans we design together.
- 56. My company is privately held and has been self-funded and bootstrapped since the beginning because I prefer not to be beholden to investors; told what to do or how to run my company; and certainly not how to take care of my clients and team! I have, on occasion, crowdfunded projects to verify interest and get people excited about them and involved in the process.
- 57. Company financials are excellent. Yearly revenues have more than doubled each of the last 3 years and are on track to hit 7 figures in 2017 for the first time! A significant portion of profits is invested back into the business to fund future growth.
- 58. All of my businesses offer customized products and services that are extremely popular and deliver brilliant results... so much so that over 75% of my business growth happens via word of mouth!
- 59. The Multi-Faceted Monetization Model™, systems and team I have in place now allow me to spend at least 20% of my time on The Phaneuf Foundation charity work, outreach and community service; now giving of my time in addition to the financial philanthropy I’ve engaged in for many years.
- 61. I am a lifetime learner. I consistently invest time and money to connect with and learn from people who have reached the goals I aspire to in both business and life. I have amazing mentors! I’m an active participant in several mastermind groups, including ones I’ve started.
- 63. My company has received media coverage for both the products & services we provide AND for being a company doing business with integrity “the old-fashioned way” and showing that abundant success comes to you more easily when you put people over profit. I’m seen as an expert in the online business space and the go-to coach for multi-passionate entrepreneurs. As a result, I’m often interviewed and asked to write for magazines and blogs. I’m regularly featured on Forbes, The Huffington Post, She Takes on the World, Sassy Six, Women Owned Business Club, and Hawaii Magazine. I document all of these interviews and articles on my websites as additional resources and to build trust and credibility.
- 65. My work attracts sponsors who resonate with my missions and want to be exposed to the communities of Creative Entrepreneurs, Artisans and Hawaii Businesses that I’ve brought together and cultivated. They advertise on my websites and create special VIP offers for my community members.
- 69. I have made many wonderful new friends, both in Hawaii and online. I’ve been able to travel around the U.S. and other countries to meet many of my online friends in person! And whenever possible, friends enjoy visiting me here in Hawaii, too. We have a great time and there’s always loads of fun to be had when they do!
- 71. I love living in such a beautiful place where I can be outside every day of the year. Niko and I walk on the beach every morning and it has proven to be the best way to start every day, tending to my physical, mental and emotional well-being all at the same time. We’re always out exploring something or other, kayaking, paddle-boarding, walking around the farmer’s markets and enjoying everything life here has to offer.
- 73. I maintain a sense of balance by spending time with family & friends. I use free days, vacations, meet-ups, retreats, and digital downtime, too.
- 74. I take 2 days completely off and unplugged every week. I spend them exploring and enjoying all the beautiful people, places and things that surround me.
- 75. I routinely give myself FreeDayswhen I feel I’m losing my energy. This gives me permission to walk away, do something inspiring and naturally get back on track. (After suffering 2 severe cases of burnout, I’ve had the importance of this seared into me in very painful ways.)
- 76. I’m a die-hard New England Patriots fan. I never miss a game... ever. If it’s game time, I’m watching. So don’t even think of expecting me to be anywhere else!
- 77. AndIhavearatherlengthyBucketListthat I’mworkingon,too... As a multi-passionate entrepreneur, tops on that list is to someday have the honor of meeting Sir Richard Branson, the ultimate multi-passionate entrepreneur!
- 83. My work is fulfilling. It allows me to truly make a difference in people’s lives, & help them make dreams come true that they thought were impossible.
- 86. My ultimate goal in life is to be a philanthropist. I’ve long been working toward it in my personal life and, now that I’m a business owner, it has become part of the mission of my company. Makana Mai Akua, Inc. is deeply committed to philanthropic activities and provides material and financial support to many charitable organizations. For the Designs by Debi Jewelry for Charity Program, I design a one-of-a-kind piece or set of jewelry every month to benefit a charity selected by me or one of my customers. Part of the proceeds from Designs by Debi jewelry sales are donated also... • Support Your Soldier Bracelets™ and Yellow Military Support Awareness Bracelets sales benefit Soldier’s Angels. • Remember 9/11 Memorial Bracelets™ sales benefit the Twin Towers Orphan Fund to help children who lost one or both parents on September 11th. • Rainbow Bridge Pet Memorial Bracelets™ sales benefit Best Friends Animal Society. • Awareness Bracelet sales benefit a host of cause-related charities including St Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Stand Up To Cancer. I also donate coaching & consulting time to military families via my charitable foundation.
- 88. Spending time as a little girl listening to my grandfather and great-uncle talk about their time in the Army fostered a strong respect and admiration within me for the men and women who serve our Country, and their families. It manifested in a 20 year career caring for veterans at the VA Hosptial. I’ve continued my service to veterans in many ways. And, to celebrate (what would’ve been) my grandfather’s 100th birthday on June 14, 2013, I started The Phaneuf Foundation. It’s a charitable foundation, formed in honor of my grandfather and uncle, Ernest and Normand Phaneuf. Its mission is to raise money to support our soldiers, veterans and military families in as many ways as possible. This includes financial support, awareness and advocacy campaigns, and volunteer time.
