Bajan financial coach wins global award

2021 is ending on a high for financial coach Marcia Armstrong, as she is one of the recipients of the Brainz 500 Global Awards.

The Brainz Global Award is a prestigious list of top entrepreneurs from all around the world who are influential leaders and are recognised for their entrepreneurial success, achievements and dedication to helping others.

Armstrong, who is the owner of A Purpose Life, is currently one of this year’s recipients. Also on that list are Oprah Winfrey, Jessica Alba, Jay Shetty, who is the host of On Purpose, Mel Robbins, and Karen McDermott.

Speaking to the media, an elated Armstrong said that she felt proud to be chosen by the Brainz Global Awards selection committee as one of the 2021 recipients.

“I feel honoured and proud to have been chosen by such a prestigious magazine that has a reach of over 300, 000 readers per week spanning 55 countries.

“When I was approached, I was quite shocked because I had no idea I was even on their radar.

“The aim this year for me was to show up every single day with intention and it paid off.

“I am truly honoured to represent Barbados and inspire fellow Barbadian entrepreneurs to never give up on their dreams as they never know who is watching their progress,” she said.

The financial coach and motivational speaker said knowing that she is listed among celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Jessica Alba was mind-blowing.

“It was truly overwhelming because I am a part of the select few of 500 that represent the Caribbean.

“There are not many coaches in my niche from the region, so this is valuable exposure. I want this opportunity to open doors for other coaches to access because the world is our stage,” she said.

Armstrong’s advice to entrepreneurs who are seeking to receive such an award is to never give up.

“Never give up on your dreams, even if others do not see the vision. This year was one of ups and downs, but I continued to remember my why.

“You never know who is watching you, so always work for an audience of one and He will openly reward you. Consistency and time are sisters and are not mutually exclusive. Believe in yourself and your ability.

“Even when you feel that you are not making progress, remember that your Day 30 is someone else’s day zero. Always remember to celebrate your wins, whether big or small and give yourself credit as you are doing something others are afraid to do,” she said. (Write Right PR Services)
