WHO IS PRETTY DAMN AMBITIOUS?

HELPING WOMEN LEVERAGE AMBITION TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS ON THEIR TERMS

BIANCA B. KING

CEO & Founder, Pretty Damn Ambitious™
President & Creative Director, Seven5 Seven3 Marketing Group

I’m Bianca B. King, wife, sister, aunt, friend, entrepreneur, philanthropist, writer, start-up investor, and lover of all things that help my circle of influence reach their highest and greatest potential. Oh, and I’m also pretty damn ambitious.

Over 15 years ago, I started my boutique marketing agency with $700 – yes, you read that right, $700 and a sh*t ton of ambition. I used my “start-up funds” to purchase a new laptop and a round trip plane ticket and quickly secured my first client. Since then, I have helped hundreds of small business owners and entrepreneurs bring their vision of success to reality by delivering results-driven marketing solutions.

My clients have achieved a combined revenue of over $275 million and counting. My clients have been featured on television and online, including CNN, MSNBC, The Huffington Post, Thrive Global, The Dallas Morning News, D Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Black Enterprise, and the Dallas Business Journal, to name a few.

ESSENCE, Fast Company, Entrepreneur, LinkedIn, Jet Magazine and The Story Exchange are a few places where I have been featured as well.

Before launching my agency, I worked for an international commercial real estate firm, Cushman & Wakefield, for almost a decade. During my tenure, I served in several roles, including as a Brokerage Associate and Financial Analyst, where I was a part of the investments sales team that sold over $1.4 billion in real estate assets. With over 20 years of marketing experience and an MBA in eCommerce Marketing, I’ve got the receipts that I get the job done, and I do it well.

Beyond Ambition
Being able to give back in meaningful ways sets my soul on fire – it is my highest calling. It’s the reason I started this company. I’m here to deliver a solution to not only amplify your voice but to help you grow your network and revenue. In essence, I want you to succeed in every facet of your life! I’ve seen so many women struggle who have amazing gifts to share, all to not be heard or, worse, not to get paid well for it. I believe we are here on this earth to share our gifts. My desire is to help you share your gifts and talents just as I have.

It’s time to honor yourself by celebrating your ambition. Are you willing to trust your ambition and get to the next level? Join us.

RaQuel Hopkins, MBA, CPC, ELI-MP

Therapist | Executive & Life Coach | HR Executive

RaQuel is a Life and Leadership Development Coach and a change agent for purposeful and meaningful impact. She partners with individuals and business clients on removing barriers for greater success while pinpointing what success means and the limiting beliefs that we may have accepted that keep us from obtaining further greatness.

RaQuel believes that true leaders understand that doing something greater outside of ourselves is the kind of action that leads to lasting impact. Creating an intangible legacy- one free of titles, riches and other sometimes meaningless items- begins with prioritizing the people we hope to help and recognizing that when we succeed, others will do the same.

RaQuel has over 10 years’ experience working in Human Resource Development in the Telecommunications industry with her most recent role as the Vice President of HR in a global organization. She has an MBA in International Business from the University of Saint Thomas and currently pursuing her MS in Mental Health and Clinical Counseling. She attended the Wharton School for Global Talent Management and became a Certified Professional Coach through the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching (IPEC).

She is also an official member of the Forbes Human Resources Council.

WHY ARE WE HERE?

LIFE TRANSFORMED

I’ve had incredible transformations with various forms of personal development. As a self-proclaimed lifetime learner, I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars on self-development over my 20+ year career — courses, coaches, classes, and books. You name it, I’ve done it. This is above and beyond my two degrees, and to be honest … some of the outcomes have been mediocre at best, leaving me wishing I hadn’t wasted my money or, more importantly, my time. While others have been highly enriching and proven to be worth the full investment — I’ve had particularly great success leveling up my personal life and business when I’ve been able to take a well-developed course or when I have worked directly with a coach.

After speaking with friends, family, and fellow entrepreneurs who regularly engaged in self-development, I noticed we didn’t have a reliable way to find vetted courses or coaches beyond our referral networks. Coupled with the fact that coaching in the United States is unregulated, I didn’t want my circle to waste time and resources on courses or coaching that would not produce our desired results.

— am·bi·tious /amˈbiSHəs/ adjective: having or showing a strong desire and determination to succeed.—

THE IDEA

GET MATCHED, DO THE WORK, GET GREAT RESULTS

And just like that, I came up with the idea for Pretty Damn Ambitious (PDA). I saw a need in the market to match high-achieving women with the right personal development tools — through either a course or a coach that could help them ascend to even greater levels.

Why? Because statistics show that when women are empowered, educated, and accomplish their goals, so do their children, which positively affects communities regardless of socioeconomic status. The combination of empowered and educated women creates lasting positive benefits for multiple generations, helping families in a myriad of untold ways.

My goal for PDA is to create a service and community that matches the best women course creators and coaches with women who want to amplify and honor their ambitions through self-development. I want the community to offer a symbiotic support system with the coaches being inspired by our wonderful community and vice versa.

My mission is to help one million women pursue their dreams by honoring their ambitions by 2030.

Imagine the positive effect felt in homes and communities from this audacious mission — this is why we’re called Pretty Damn Ambitious.

IT’S TIME TO STEP INTO YOUR POWER

LIFE IS BEST LIVED UNAPOLOGETICALLY

Are you waiting for life to get better? Don’t wait, the time is now.

Every day is an opportunity to fulfill your dreams and live in your full ambition. Now is your time to be the woman that is unapologetic about living her best life.

PURPOSE DRIVEN AMBITION

GLOBAL AMBITION ACTIVATED – DECREASING THE INCOME GAP

To further the mission of helping one million women honor their highest ambitions, we will be donating a percentage of our annual profits to Kiva a 501(c)3 U.S. nonprofit, that is an online crowdfunding platform where women from 77 countries, including the U.S., can secure micro-loans to help them start or grow their businesses.

Why Kiva?
More than 1.7 billion people around the world are unbanked and can’t access the financial services they need. Kiva is an international nonprofit, founded in 2005 in San Francisco, with a mission to expand financial access to help underserved communities thrive.

They do this by crowdfunding loans and unlocking capital for the underserved, improving the quality and cost of financial services, and addressing the underlying barriers to financial access around the world. Through Kiva’s work, students can pay for tuition, women can start businesses, farmers are able to invest in equipment and families can afford needed emergency care.
