Tonia Askins

Tonia Askins, Entrepreneur, Speaker, International Author and Business Consultant, has serviced individuals, emerging entrepreneurs, existing small business owners, and corporations for over fifteen years. As an author, Tonia collaborated internationally to write her first self-published book, You've Been Fired! Now What? which helps individuals discover options and opportunities through entrepreneurship despite economic conditions.

Now for her sophomore publication, she shares vital steps, tools, and best practices for breaking into self-publishing. She states, “Self-publishing is on the rise, and steadily increasing. Even with the tremendous reliance on advances in technology, as a people we still need that specialness that only a human being can produce and create to influence us, teach us, and take us to worlds that are only explored and enjoyed through their writings.”

Volunteering for non-profits and individuals through mentoring and coaching has provided some of her most rewarding efforts. She is a certified business mentor within the Score organization and personally provides seminars on entrepreneurship, business strategies, and self-publishing. Truly, a no-limits mindset, diverse experience, and passion for people are her main driving forces. “My objective is to fuel people to do three things: be creative, sow and grow. Be creative about how you go about achieving your goals, sow into purposeful projects that help others, and grow by continually remaining a student of life.” For additional information about her speaking engagements, books, and consulting, visit any of the following website: www.toniaaskins.com.
