It is my pleasure to introduce to you our PeopleWhoProsper Feature Entrepreneur, Janét Aizenstros. Her story speaks for itself but in a nutshell let me say, WOW. This woman has had some hard times yet has triumphed to become a successful founder, CEO and executive producer of her own radio talk shows. She is the founder of JAOM (Janét Aizenstros Omni Media). Her motto is "helping women be the change, they want to see." JAOM offers several programs which include coaching and wealth management services and radio talk shows, among many others. Being a licensed life coach, Janét explains, "My primary focus is to teach the fundamental principles of mind, health and wealth from a holistic perspective. She shares more in her interview with me about how she has PROSPERED. Enjoy!
1.Tell me your story. What were you doing before you started your own business?
I am the founder and CEO of JAOM (Janét Aizenstros Omni Media), which is dedicated to the empowerment and advancement of women worldwide. As an award-winning entrepreneur, internationally recognized writer and radio host, I enjoy teaching women how to achieve the level of success they aspire to attain. My dedication to changing lives has truly motivated other women to capture their visions and dream beyond their current circumstance.
The vision of JAOM is "helping women be the change, they want to see." Well, I am definitely a living testament to self-healing and transformation. After, drastically changing my mind, health and wealth in 2010, I have made it my life's mission to seeing other women achieve the level of success they so aspire to attain.
Through my business savvy and charismatic personality, I've taken my extensive corporate credentials and are lending those same principles to building my online empire. JAOMONLINE.com is an online platform for women who are "the first to acquire the best" and residence to Editorial M.O.M, Life Masters Now Success Coaching, Masters Now Wealth Management Group, Masters Now Wealth Mastermind, I am...Janét, Women's Movement Radio Network, and additional services to further the empowerment of women. The primary focus of all these program is to instill the importance of three vital components to having a successful business; by creating a solid mindset while achieving great health and secure wealth creation.
I am a licensed practitioner of the Law Of Attraction. I received my certification under Dr. Joe Vitale (featured in the film The Secret). My primary focus is to teach the fundamental principles of mind, health and wealth from a holistic perspective.
I've partnered with many leading international companies to offer women the opportunity to learn how to achieve the Positive Feeling Frequency™, which I describe in detail in my upcoming book Live Free.
"I want women to know how to master their mind, time and finances. My desire is to see women succeeding in every aspect of their lives, so they will know what it really feels like to live free and on their own terms."
2. What made you want to start a business and what is your mission?
In September 2010, I had a miscarriage, a close family friend the same age as me died -- leaving behind a 9 month old child and my ex-husband's best-friend, his daughter (age 5) was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. All of these events happened on the same day. I decided I could no longer go on living unhappy. I didn't start my business right away but I began working on myself, my spirit. I remember a few weeks later sitting in my kids playroom by myself asking G-d how does He take a heart of stone and make it a heart of flesh again." Later, that year I was introduced to a network marketing business that gave me the start-up capital to start my business. However, I didn't want to build a network marketing business. I started reading books and taking courses.
Then I had an Aha moment! In the midst of it all I started a small blog talk radio program called Mommypreneur. I started marketing it to other women network groups overseas because my network marketing business [helped me] capture [an] international audience. I began trying to launch Mommypreneur here in North America but it didn't capture an audience the way I thought. While, doing the program, women began inquiring if there was an online outlet they could contact me. I had a blog but I really didn't use it consistently. I started writing business articles and I became bored because it reminded me of when I worked in corporate. One night, I started going through my emails and noticed all the emails were relationship based from moms around the world. Now, I couldn't understand why they would be asking me about relationships because I never spoke about relationships in my program and especially my own. If I did, many would have known I was separated and going through a divorce. I woke up in the middle of the night and it came to me. RELATIONSHIPS!! I spoke to my coach about my apprehension about talking about relationships and she shared that I could relate to women [in] all walks of a relationship. She showed me how I had been single, married, mother, separated and eventually divorced. I never thought about it that way. I decided I wasn't just going to create another relationship blog, it would have to be reflective of me. I am honest about who I am with my audience which is why I feel so many women have contacted me. I use my intellectualism mixed with my love of pop culture to convey my message. JAOM is to be an online lifestyle site. I talk about everything that is me...life, love and lifestyle. All I did was blend who I am with my existing businesses. I ended the Mommypreneur program but I have rebranded it under Moms Movement Radio. My blog gave me a diversified audience that I am happy to receive fan mail from daily. Also, I've heard claims that it's followed by certain celebrity moms, whether it's true or not I embrace it all. I make my living at being me, there is no greater feeling than that.
3. What inspires you? What keeps you motivated daily to keep growing your business?
No sleep! LOL Seriously, I have alway had exceptional time management + great organization skills + diligent consistency with lots of meditation. lol This is my remedy for success.
4. Do you have a mentor? Who is it and why? Do you believe it's important to have one?
5. What would you tell someone getting started in your line of business but does not know how to get started?
I [would] tell anyone wanting to be in this line of business to know what they believe. What you believe has the ability to hinder your progression or propel you into your destiny. The main reason women contact me at Life Masters Success Coaching is [because] I am authentically myself. Anyone who has followed or read my I am...Janet blog knows that. I intentionally expose myself showing women, that instead of hiding behind walls of masked insecurity...it's ok to be vulnerable. I believe in the Taoist quote of Lao Tzu where he states, "I show my weakness to show my strength." I believe it takes a strong person to allow themselves to be vulnerable with one's self and more so in a public format. Truthfully, many people deny themselves this luxury because they are afraid of being judged. However, [what] I would like to share is if you look at the most successful people of influence in our culture their lives are living testaments of living intentionally exposed of one's insecurities. Truthfully, it's our older ideologies that keep people bound in their destructive mindsets. Regret, judgment, emotions of this nature create a counter reaction that systematically institutes people walking around feeling confined in their own lives. This new year, I plan on teaching a series of how to Live Free. Free beyond your inhibitions, mental limitations. Really helping people to understand and stop worrying about judgment. Teaching them the ability to just live. Live in the moment and be in the moment.
6. What advice would you give to someone with an entrepreneurial spirit?
Don't let anyone put limitations on you. Some people told me that being myself wasn't going to be good enough or no one would be interested in what I had to say. Well, I am sitting in a really great place now. I am living free. Free of my inhibitions, free of my personal insecurities. I wish everyone could live this emotionally free.

For those of you who don't know, I spent more than 25 years in radio and television news. I was everything from a reporter to fill-in anchor to assignment editor and producer. I even filled in as a photographer during my early days in TV.
Today, my role as a media consultant is to help those seeking media attention find it. That includes coaching and preparing clients so they will be, what I call, “media marketable.”
But those seeking media attention aren’t the only ones who need tips. Anyone who is or wants to be in the business of interviewing others should have their act together as well. With BlogTalk radio on the scene, many wanna be radio hosts have popped up.
So here are some tips for those of you who want to give your best as the interviewer on the airwaves:
- Never give your guest the questions in advance. Many guests will try to give you a list of prepared questions. It’s OK to accept them but let them know you may not ask any or all of them. Giving them the questions in advance allows them to rehearse answers and not come across as natural during the interview.
- Always check to make sure your equipment is working.
- Treat the guest with respect. The interviewee deserves respect whether they are the President or just an average Joe Blow.
- Take control of the interview. Don’t let your guest over your show.
- You are not the center of attention. Remember you are there to get the perspective of the guest not give your own.
- Do the research you need to, but don’t try to cram it all into your questions. Before you start the interview put yourself in the shoes of a member of your audience. If they were here, what would they ask?
- The interview is a conversation. It is not a confrontation. You are not there to make the interviewee look stupid.
- Shorter questions are better than longer ones. The more detail there is in the question the more difficult it is for the interviewee to track what you are asking. Be as direct as you can without being rude.
- Be sure of your facts. There’s nothing worse than being told you are wrong by an interviewee – especially when it’s live.
- Listen carefully to your guest’s responses. You might come up with some follow-up questions.
Being credible as an interviewer means being professional and prepared.
