Who is Annett?
Annett Bone is the founder and host of The DancePreneuring Studio Podcast where she guides her listeners on a journey of transformation inspired by dance, life, and business. The podcast is a reflection of all the lessons learned upon returning to dance after a 20-year hiatus.
Because she returned to her passion for dance after giving it up for 20-plus years, she is constantly putting herself in uncomfortable situations where she can grow.
She has a Bachelors Degree in Dance from the University of California Irvine, which at the time was ranked third in the nation for dance programs, behind Julliard and New York University.
When she’s not creating content or doing online marketing work, she can be found practicing yoga or checking out coffee shops other than Starbucks. Fun facts: 1) Korean is her first language. 2) She was once a fan club president for Puerto Rican boy band Menudo—popular back in the ’80s.
Quotes from Annett
It’s really interesting, this whole entrepreneurial journey and the educational conferences that are available, which I’m really thankful for now because there’s so much to choose from and you can get from it what you want to get out of it. (11:00)
I’m all for women empowerment, but more than that, I’m all for human people empowerment because we’re all the same. (15:59)
Again, there’s that balance of being proud, knowing your value and who you are and where you come from and honoring the amazing cultural backgrounds that people come from, but at the same time, not using that as a crutch. (19:10)
You need to be thankful for the lessons that you learned, and you’ll find that as you become more thankful and have gratitude for the things you have learned—the good things that have come out of situations—things will change. It might not change overnight. It might be apparent to you as quickly as you want, but just deciding to make that switch of ‘I’m not gonna be a victim anymore, I’m going to decide to make these changes whatever it is.’ (20:17)
