About the Winner

About The Gower (owner of Gower Power!)
Michelle Gower is a WordPress and business mentor, consultant, and service provider who works with companies of all sizes to do two things: help them understand content marketing while removing the overwhelm that usually comes with the task, and coach individuals who want (or need) to quickly launch and grow their own WordPress-based businesses (yes, she homegrows her competitors, because there is plenty for everybody). She has taken over 200 people face to face and one-on-one from not understanding the point of blogging to generating revenue for themselves and finding their own purpose and independence.

Sometimes it's teaching freelancers and independents how to charge what they are worth and learn how to follow their passion while staying financially stable. Other times, it's helping a new company get noticed by building them a web site that they have control over, so they can start selling or accepting clients right away.

Whatever the hour is being used for, Gower uses a holistic approach with her clients; by starting first with the person, she helps create authentic business outcomes that allow her clients to shine the way they were meant to. Her strategies, sense of humor, and Point A to Point B methodology turn everyday task lists into diamond mines and everyday what ifs into revenue.

WHY I WOULD LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER ME
I have a vested interest in seeing every micro and small business owner that I mentor or provide services for succeeding beyond their wildest dreams. I take an active role in helping them get out of their own way, and in doing so, they allow me to step into my own purpose. The feeling of knowing that you are living your purpose is heightened only by the feeling of providing that capability for someone else.

A victory in this category would be a victory for everyone who has ever trusted me as a teacher or provider, because they are the ones that have helped ME to grow to the spot that I feel I should enter this type of competition. So I thank you for your consideration!
