Carol Amato is one of the most interesting people I’ve connected with during 2013. She is relatively new to online business and marketing, yet has already become someone others turn to for help with setting up their own businesses. We first became acquainted through the site ‘Just Retweet‘, where she was kind enough to retweet my Twitter posts and join my list. Soon we were emailing and that’s when I decided that I must introduce you to her by having her as a guest on my podcast series.
Something I learned about Carol is that she speaks fluent Carinise, a Sicilian dialect, and speaks it like a native according to the people she knows in Sicily. She and her entire family are self-proclaimed foodies and enjoy everything about delicious food. She and her husband live in northeastern Pennsylvania and they have three adult children.
During this interview Carol shares how and why she came online in 2011, what it’s like to have an online business, and how she helps others to get started. We share a deep respect and affection for Dennis Becker, and speak about that as well. I love how we connect with someone and then end up connecting with many other people as well, all as a result of having an online business as an entrepreneur.
Carol is an example of someone who saw the opportunity available to those working online, jumped in to learn as much as could, and took immediate action to build her business quickly. I hope you are doing the same thing as you get closer to having an online business you can run from home or from wherever in the world you happen to be.
I know you will enjoy my conversation with Carol. Be sure to visit her site and join her list if it is of interest to you. I believe you will learn much by connecting with Carol there and on social media.

Connie,
I had a fun time as you’re so easy to talk to.
I glean so much from your teaching, appreciate your work and look forward to meeting at a live event in the future. π
Thanks for everything.
– Carol Amato
Donald Thomas says
Being a student of Carol’s I can say she is as genuine as she seems. I have learned so much from her, and it is in large part due to her guidance that I have come a long way in a short amount of time.
She obviously does not allow her personal life to interfere with her students or her business, because other than the move to PA, I had no idea she went through so much in the last year. She was, and is, always there when I need her. I do thank God for her.
Good interview Connie – thanks carol!

Great podcast Connie,
Inspiring. I am expecting my business that you are helping me with to pay for my son’s schooling. It is always great to here from someone who has achieved “the dream”
Connie Ragen Green says
Al, it all begins with having the idea for what you will do with your success – your ‘Reason Why’.

An excellent interview with Carol. Well done, ladies! I “know” of Carol from Just Retweet as well and really enjoyed hearing about her journey, leaving Florida for the snow and her goal of starting a podcast in 2014. A goal of mine as well π
Angela McCall says
Hi Carol and Connie,
What a wonderful interview!!! I have subscribed to Connie’s podcast. And you Carol always sounds phenomenal on audio, video, or wherever you are. π
Guess like me, you’ve been in the medical field also. I was a CNA then I stepped into Nursing. Couldn’t get into Nursing and end up being in Respiratory Therapy but after all that I quit. Perhaps it’s a waste of time? But maybe it’s good that I went thru what I went thru coz now I appreciate my Graphic Design profession more than ever. Specially when I started my business on January 2013.
So if you guys are new, I guess I’m the newest. I still have a lot to learn but I am enjoying myself on learning things here online. So far so good. My business is picking up slowly but surely offline. There’s a lot of things needs to be done online like: build my membership area, create courses in Udemy, launch my 1st ebook. So there’s only 24 hours in a day but will get them all done in no time. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing this lovely interview.
Have a great weekend to you both.
Angela
