Meet Tamara Curtis

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Tamara Curtis. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Tamara, so great to be with you and I think a lot of folks are going to benefit from hearing your story and lessons and wisdom. Imposter Syndrome is something that we know how words to describe, but it’s something that has held people back forever and so we’re really interested to hear about your story and how you overcame imposter syndrome.

Acknowledging my feelings, while recognizing that imposter syndrome is a common experience, especially among high achievers. Knowing It’s okay to feel this way, while understanding it’s important not to let it define you.
Celebrating my achievements, reflecting on accomplishments and the hard work that got me here. Owning one’s successes helps to reinforce self-worth.
Seeking support, surrounding myself with supportive people who believe in me and my goals. Mentors, friends, and family provide valuable perspective and encouragement.
Reframing negative thoughts, challenging negative thoughts fuel imposter syndrome. So, replacing them with positive affirmations and remind me of my strengths and capabilities.
Embracing Growth: Understanding that learning and growth are part of the journey. Mistakes and setbacks are opportunities to learn, not evidence of inadequacy.
Setting Realistic Goals, Breaking down my goals into manageable steps. Celebrating small victories along the way builds confidence.
Sharing my story: sharing my experiences and helping others, reinforces my own sense of competence and purpose.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

Ivy League Enterprises LLC and Naturally Healthy Life are more than just businesses; they are the culmination of my life’s journey and the challenges I’ve overcome. As a 46-year-old single mom to three sons, my path has been filled with significant health disparities, including surviving ovarian cancer and a thyroid storm. These experiences forced me to change my entire way of life, starting with the food I eat and the beverages I drink, including water. I also became more cautious about my thoughts and the energies I allow around me.

Ivy League Enterprises LLC is a property investment, management, and leasing company. We specialize in teaching clients how to purchase tax deed investment properties and provide professional quiet title services. Additionally, we offer credit repair services, empowering our tenants to improve their credit scores and explore lease purchasing or homeownership options. Our mission is to create opportunities for minority and single families to own homes with 25-30% equity at closing. Through education and dedicated support, we strive to bring meaningful change to our communities.

Naturally Healthy Life was born out of necessity. After facing severe health challenges, I realized the importance of a holistic approach to wellness. This business focuses on promoting a healthy lifestyle through natural and organic products. We offer a range of health and wellness products that are carefully curated to support a balanced and healthy life. Our goal is to help others overcome their health challenges by providing them with the knowledge and tools they need to live healthier lives.

What excites me most about my work is the opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives. Whether it’s helping someone achieve homeownership or guiding them towards better health, the impact is profound and deeply rewarding.

We have some exciting new developments on the horizon. Ivy League Enterprises LLC is expanding its educational programs to include more comprehensive workshops on property investment and credit repair. Naturally Healthy Life is launching a new line of organic supplements and hosting wellness retreats to provide immersive experiences for our clients.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my story. I hope it inspires others to believe in their potential and strive for a better life.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Resilience: The ability to bounce back from setbacks and keep moving forward was crucial. Life threw many challenges my way, from health issues to financial struggles, but resilience helped me persevere.
Advice: Cultivate resilience by embracing challenges as opportunities to grow. Practice self-care and seek support from friends, family, or mentors when needed. Remember, setbacks are not failures but steppingstones to success.
Self-Education: Being self-taught allowed me to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate various aspects of my businesses and personal life.
Advice: Never stop learning. Take advantage of online courses, books, and workshops. Stay curious and proactive in seeking out new information and skills. Knowledge is power, and it can open many doors.
Empathy and Community Focus: Understanding and addressing the needs of others has been at the heart of my work. Whether its helping tenants improve their credit or guiding someone towards better health, empathy has driven meaningful change.
Advice: Develop empathy by actively listening to others and putting yourself in their shoes. Volunteer or engage in community activities to better understand the challenges people face. Building strong, supportive relationships can make a significant difference in your journey.
