DONNA MARIA: LEAD ENTREPRENEUR MENTOR
Donna Maria is an attorney, author, podcaster, certified entrepreneur mentor and the founder and CEO of the Indie Business Network. After serving as an attorney for several years, Donna Maria left corporate America to launch an artisan aromatherapy and cosmetics shop outside Washington, DC. In 2000, she closed that business to focus full-time on providing entrepreneurial training and coaching to Indie Business Network members. Over the years, she has trained and mentored hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs through webinars, podcasts, books, newsletters, live events and more. Donna Maria has two grown children who are scholar athletes at North and South Carolina universities. She currently works and lives in her hometown of Washington, DC, and travels the country to speak at conferences and to train and meet with IBN members at their retail stores, farmers markets and other events.
TERI PATTERSON: ENTREPRENEUR MENTOR
Teri Lang Patterson is the Founder and CEO of Body Systems Skincare, which, since 2001, has offered healthy skin and body care options with a focus on wholesale, back bar spa and private label.
In addition to playing and coaching golf at the University of Minnesota, Teri has played ice hockey, taught land and water fitness classes, served as an East Coast Hockey League off-ice official, and currently coaches girls soccer.
Teri has led Body Systems through over two decades of economic upturns and downturns, including a global pandemic. Her distinct experiences uniquely qualify her to train and mentor entrepreneurs across multiple disciplines. “I love it all,” says Teri, “And my favorite parts are the customer service and designing aspects. As you grow your business, it's critical to create a truly sustainable work/life balance, which is why I'm so excited to be a part of the Indie Business Blueprint.”
PEOPLE ARE SAYING ...
To say that the Indie Business Network is life-changing is an understatement. When I started, I had a mindset of self-doubt, even though I KNEW I had a brand that could really help people. I literally had a love/hate relationship with my business. There were aspects of getting “out there” that I loved to watch others do but HATED for myself. The mentoring and the masterminding are what I love most about IBN because it is in these spaces where I've come to know myself AND my capabilities. Being able to get insights and encouragement from members — from months in business to decades — is priceless. My transformation is worth every single day I've been a member. I'm beyond grateful.

Donna Maria has the gift of mastering entrepreneurship and she is great at teaching others to do the same! She is a problem solver and she embodies the Lifestyle CEO brand. Often entrepreneurs create businesses and fail because they are not prepared and they overlook critical issues. I'd recommend Donna Maria to any business owner seeking a fresh look at their brand and business! She is a magnificent mentor and she has proven results to help businesses grow and prosper.

Your work and your life are not inseparable. Donna Maria knows how to help you decide what you want your lifestyle to look like and how to design your business to make it happen. She has helped me clarify how to craft my business to give me the freedom and independence I need while making sure I earn an income I deserve. I love bouncing ideas off of her, because she can look at them objectively and guide you to figure out the details. And somehow she makes it all fun. I’m creating the life I want to take me into the future. Thank you, dM.
