hello, I'm cindy! Thanks for stopping by.

I am Cindy Novotny and my goal in life has always been to become the best I could be and to help others do the same.

I created my own definition of the word Passion; it is a combination of love and anger and if you really love something, it should royally tick you off when it doesn’t go right.  Therefore, professional success, success in marriage, raising my daughter, helping my family and giving more than I could ever hope to get back is a result of my PASSION!  No kidding, I am a ‘take no prisoner,’ friend and a kick ass mentor.  I have been helping people all over the world get what they want out of their life both personally and professionally. I am the real deal. I don’t pretend that just positive thinking, climbing a ropes course or walking on hot coals will get you to success.  I believe that hard work, straight talk, focus and a commitment to get where you want to in life is done by taking control of your destiny.  I help people live the life they want to live - not the life they think they ‘have’ to live.  My passion is all about coaching and developing people to achieve their goals, so they find their passion as well.  I wrote the book “Living with No Balance and Loving It,” which shows how professionals and working parents can live full lives while giving their children the gift of expanding their world. I have built a successful company from scratch, starting with only business cards and a telephone.  I have never had the benefit of an ‘angel investor’ to build my company.  I did it the old fashioned way; hard work and grit. I’m a global citizen traveling 50 weeks a year, never settling down for more than a few days.  I am in the middle of it all and I share my stories daily.  I was born on a nuclear Army Base in WA, and to this day, everyone says  I ‘glow’ with an unbelievable energy and they wish they could “bottle me up and take me home.” Well, I want to give some of that energy to you!

You’re invited to join me on social media and follow along with my real life travel and adventures. This is the life I chose and helping you become the best ‘YOU’ is what I offer! If you’re ready for a radical transformation, you’ve come to the right place.
