Meet the Contributors: Christine Kloser

The new Heart of a Woman in Business book, authored by Sheryl Roush, boasts over eighty professional women as contributors, sharing their original short stories, poems, quotations, insights and business tips.

Meet contributor Christine Kloser!
Her sage tips and inspiration "Fulfill Your Heart’s Desire," is an excerpt printed in
Inspiration to Realization is the first posting in the new womens’ book. Her poem "Let Your Business Lead You" is an excerpt from The Freedom Formula, posted in the Entrepreneurial Spirit Chapter of Heart of a Woman in Business.

Sheryl originally met Christine in the National Speakers Association/Greater Los Angeles Chapter in 2005. Christine facilitated her NEW group in Los Angeles, and asked Sheryl to come and speak for the organization on designing promtoional materials for small businesses, solopreneurs.

As an entrepreneur, Christine initially learned the lessons she expounds in her new book The Freedom Formula the hard way—ultimately discovering that by embracing her spiritual values, success came to her much more readily and easily.  

Born in Binghamton, New York and raised in West Hartford, CT, Kloser graduated from Providence College with a B.S. in Business Administration. After college, she headed to San Diego, where she landed a job at the city’s top rock music radio station. There she honed her skills working in six different departments, before heading back to Connecticut as an account executive for Hartford’s leading station.

But the West Coast called her back and she landed in Los Angeles where she decided to take advantage of the market’s passion for physical fitness. Having grown up as a competitive figure skater and dancer, she launched a career as a private personal trainer, her first entrepreneurial venture. For eight years she had a very successful home-based business. Seeking to expand her wings in business, she opened a personal training gym and private yoga studio. 

“This is when my easy 20-hour work-week turned into 70-hour work-weeks, and I made less money due to the overhead of a brick and mortar operation,” notes Christine. “This experience caused me to seek out support from other women entrepreneurs.” 

When she couldn’t find it anywhere else, she elected to start a small dinner group where a few friends would gather for dinner once a month to talk about business and support each other in the pursuit of their dreams. The small dinner group very quickly turned into a full-fledged women’s networking organization with 500 members and dinner meetings in five locations throughout Southern California. Called the Network for Empowering Women Entrepreneurs (NEW), it clearly struck a cord with women who needed the support and collegial exchange that the organization afforded.

Through NEW, Christine realized the importance of infusing such business meetings with more spiritual principles. 

“We started meeting with guided meditations and ended these meetings holding a sacred space for each other’s dreams to be realized,” she says.  “I began to see a direct correlation between an entrepreneur’s spiritual foundation and her level of success.” 

It was also through NEW that she launched a seminar company to introduce members to a variety of entrepreneurial experts, which continued to infuse her work life with spiritual principles, practices and flow. 

The growth of NEW led directly to Christine publishing her first book in 2004, Inspiration to Realization, an anthology written by 40 members of the organization, which was reviewed in Entrepreneur Magazine soon after its release.  The review lead to greater interest in Christine’s fledgling publishing company, and she ended up producing two additional books in that series.

But while her newly founded publishing house was taking off, Christine’s yoga studio was floundering.
 
“The wisdom I discovered as the Founder and CEO of NEW came in handy when my yoga studio nearly forced me into bankruptcy,” she explains.  “I relied on NEW and its members to keep me going when I was faced with fear about possibly losing everything.  It was through these very challenging times that I learned the most about business and began to lay the foundation for what is now known as The Freedom FormulaThe Freedom Formula is what helped me avoid bankruptcy and create the business (and life) of my dreams.”

Christine began to codify the way she integrated spiritual consciousness into her work and lifestyle, employing those practices in the growth of her company and then penning them in The Freedom Formula: How to Put Soul in Your Business and Money in Your Bank so that others could tap into her wisdom.

Today her publishing company, Love Your Life Publishing, offers nearly 15 books per year. The firm’s most recent releases are her books The Freedom Formula, a No. 1 Amazon.com best seller, and Conscious Entrepreneurs. In addition to publishing, she also coaches entrepreneurial authors through the entire process of turning their book idea into reality with her Get Your Book Done program. 

When  not writing, publishing or coaching inspired authors, Christine is working on a number of products and services to support spiritually-oriented, conscious entrepreneurs– including her award-winning email newsletter the Conscious Business Connection, her group coaching program the Conscious Business Circle, and her upcoming live event, The Freedom Formula Experience, January 22-25, 2009 in Los Angeles. 

Christine’s commitment is to “help conscious entrepreneurs integrate their spiritual wisdom with tangible business strategies so they experience a business (and life) filled with purpose, passion and profit.”

She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, David, and their daughter Janet, and enjoys being a work-at-home mom.
