A. Carden Inc. - Expert In You

I help high-level founders, business owners, and seasoned entrepreneurs align their brilliance with bold business moves — repositioning what they’ve already built into a brand, model, and market presence that reflects their true caliber.

After building and selling multiple businesses — and hitting burnout from working with clients who didn’t value my expertise — I realized traditional strategies weren’t made for elite-level professionals who’ve outgrown the “grind.”

That’s why I created the Expert In You® Method, a proven, strategic growth framework that helps successful entrepreneurs scale with premium positioning, smarter offers, expert authority, and the right visibility to attract high-value clients and deals.

I serve as a strategic power partner and advisor who supports bold moves, big pivots, and meaningful expansion with a personalized roadmap. My clients are often sitting on untapped potential. I help them unlock it, quickly, powerfully, and profitably.

Highlights:
✔ Transformed underperforming business models into seven-figure+ success stories
✔ Helped founders reposition for $100K–$400K+ client deals
✔ Advised hundreds of experts and CEOs in over 80 industries
✔ Combined deep business acumen with strategic visibility and personal brand elevation

I bring 41+ years of experience in business growth, marketing, and sales, including 13 years in corporate management where I grew multimillion-dollar divisions, and nearly three decades as an entrepreneur with 7 businesses launched and 5 sold.

Today, I run Expert In You® Media & Marketing, host the Expert In You® Podcast, publish Expert In You® Magazine, and speak internationally on branding, business reinvention, and next-level success.

Recognition:
Who's Who in America • Who’s Who of Professional Women • 4x Author  #1 International Best-Selling Author

Let’s connect if you’re a high-caliber founder or expert who’s done well, but you’re ready to make bigger moves with more influence, income, and alignment.

Expert In You - Marketing & Media Agency

ALC Inc.

Started this business from the ground up, built it to success and sold it in 2016.

Founder & CEO

I followed my passion to help other's live a healthier lifestyle and started my fitness business as a bootstrap entrepreneur.  I spent endless hours in my business as a fitness and nutrition expert and business owner.

After years of hard work training and instructing more than 60,000 hours, I made the decision to stop working in the business start working on the business.  This allowed me to open a second location and continue to grow and build the business into a highly successful and profitable health club. I sold this health club for substantial profits in March 2012.

Health Club Owner

Thin and Healthy's Total Solution

Started this business in May 2010 serving women in weight management. I sold this in 2016.

Business Owner

I opened this business in 2006 serving the community with weight management and nutrition. I sold this business in 2012.

Owner

A.L.C. Inc.

After leaving a thirteen-year corporate career in retail business management, I founded and operated a home-based company, Annie's Hutch with just fifteen dollars. I built this business into a successful global business.  I designed and manufactured handcrafted dolls, and patterns for dolls. I built my staff and business while still working from home, raising my children and shipping my unique dolls all over the world.  

My unique designs were hand selected and featured on the cover of the International Magazine  Country Sampler. In 1996, my patterns were purchased by an international manufacturing and pattern company that designed and manufactured creative dolls.

Founder

Corporate Business Management

I managed a variety of multi-million dollar businesses in the corporate retail industry in St. Louis and California. All were Fortune 500 companies that allowed me to gain corporate experience and knowledge. Responsibilities included managing, training and developing staffs of thirty or more people, budget and inventory control, creative display, event and promotional planning, marketing and sales and thought leadership.

In 1991, I left that career to move back to the Mid West with my family and raise my children.

Strategic Business Growth Consultant to Consultants & Coaches Who Want to Add $100k-$1M in 12 Months/Less with Multi-5 & 6+ Figure Clients/Programs | Marketing & Sales Strategist | Top LinkedIn Expert | Author | Speaker

Elite Strategic Advisor for experts, firm owners & wealth entrepreneurs who want and deserve more, but are under-recognized, losing opportunities they should be winning, and ready to compete at the level they belong.

How has this year been? Do you feel exhausted in your business?

Consider this...You’re not exhausted because you’re too busy in your business.

You’re exhausted because you’re tired of working this hard and still not being financially where you know you should be.

There’s a moment seasoned entrepreneurs don’t talk about…
It’s not burnout.
It’s not a lack of passion.
It’s not overwhelm or confusion.
It’s frustration with under-fulfillment.


 “I should be making more money by now.”

“I know what I’m doing.”

“My clients get incredible results.”

“I’m doing the work, so why isn’t this happening faster?”
That voice isn’t frustration, it’s evolution calling you out.

You’re not tired from working.

You’re tired of the gap between your capability and your current results.
And that gap isn’t closed by:
• more grinding
• more hours
• more random tactics
• more doing
• more pushing

You don’t need “more.”
You need different.
A system.
A strategy.
A higher-level model that matches the level you’re meant to play at.

You are not behind.
You are under-leveraged.
And when you shift from operating like a “doer” to stepping fully into the expert, everything changes:

Your pricing changes
The caliber of clients changes
Your demand changes
Your energy changes
Your trajectory changes

Hard work got you here.
Elevation takes you to what's next.

And if reading this hit something inside you…
trust that.
It’s not doubt.
It’s truth rising.


I’m teaching how to make this shift, the real shift, in my upcoming workshop:

Step Into the Expert Spotlight & Scale with Higher-Paying Clients

How to turn capability into bigger revenue, bigger opportunity, and a business that finally matches your potential.
If you’re done grinding and ready to EVOLVE into the next version of you and your business…
