Power Player Under 40 Melissa Krivachek Age: 25 Occupation: President of Briella Arion Location: Cedar Rapids, Iowa (Travel globally) Affiliations: Seen in Forbes, CNN, Fox News, Yahoo Finance, WSJ, Under30CEO & Gulf Elite Magazine among various other publications, affiliations, and awards.

Discipline and focus have been critical to the development of our brand and the level of success I’ve attained in life. Business isn’t about how many people you can talk to, but rather, how many people you can impact. It’s not about how much money you make, but what that money does in your community and the world. It isn’t about serving the masses, but serving those who serve the masses. I have a ridiculous work ethic that allows me prioritize, systematize, and work with those who don’t need what I have, but find value in the work that I do and the impact that it makes in their personal, professional, and financial lives. Being a power player boils down to a few qualities most people never develop: consistency, personal growth, discipline, focus, and determination. It really is that simple. What motivates you to go above and beyond people’s expectations? I’m incredibly passionate about helping professionals break through limiting beliefs to live the life they’ve always desired by helping them focus on what matters most to them and their business. Mindset. Internal/External Confidence. Communication. Leadership. I’ve always had a passion for people and for getting results. Coaching has allowed me to combine and monetize both passions. How do you feel about networking? Networking is the backbone of business and the only way to build a solid foundation for long-term success. At Briella Arion we value the belief “People before Profits & Relationships before Results.” Without people or relationships, you won’t have profits or results. As a coach, being incredibly selective about who I work with helps my clients meet and exceed their own expectations, because it isn’t me getting them results; it’s them taking the action necessary, implementing the disciplines required, and focusing on their clients that truly makes the difference. Being in business has nothing to do with a title, accolades, or your desires it has to do with results. The bottom line is, results are everything! They create momentum to continue serving your clients and making a difference. www.evomag.co 23
