Joleen Amos: Unravelling the Marketing tactics with No Boundaries Marketing Group
America's 10 Most Innovative Women Revamping the Future in Marketing
People having a happy and wholesome quality of life have a unique approach in life. This makes the definition of success different for everyone. Joleen Amos, Chief Inspiration Officer of No Boundaries Marketing Group also holds a different approach to attaining success in life. She says, “As a small business owner, my success comes from a satisfied customer. It comes from a work-life balance. It comes from doing what I love and having a true passion for helping others. I work to achieve success every single day, one client at a time.”
Inspiration behind
achieving success
With an overwhelming desire to do more and deliver the best to clients, Joleen desired to make a mark in the industry with her business. Where other corporate marketing settings prefer profits above service, she wished to create impact by exceeding the client’s expectation. She adds, “I wanted more. I always felt there was another way. After all, it was me that these clients were purchasing from. I was the face of the organization. They put their trust in me that I was able to honor my commitment and fulfill the expectations that I was setting. At the end of the day, I was accountable should something go wrong, it was me that they would see in the neighborhood grocery store.”
Her responsible self pledged to guarantee all the perfect services and do her best to avoid these pitfalls and eliminate barriers to service. She shares, “I vowed to always go the extra mile for customers and provide a transparent service-based model. Hence in 2019, after years of planning, I decided it was time to break free and I have never looked back since.”
Impediments on the
way
Being a bold leader who takes challenges and failures as
opportunities for future success, she feels it is crucial to learn the art of
handling challenges and ultimately shaping the organization for the future.
Her early challenge was her reluctance to accept that she was unable to handle everything on her own. From Monday meeting discussions to spending time in all sorts of activities, she realized that her people and clients needed her time extensively. She then, consulted with business coaches, outsourced various tasks, brought on additional resources keeping in mind her success vision so that she could find a solution to tackle other things so that their growth stays unaffected.

Life before and After
No Boundaries Marketing Group
Joleen has a rich experience in the marketing and advertising industry for over a decade. She understands the satisfaction of earning a referral from her existing client. This tells her that she is moving forth on the right path and her clients acknowledge it.
As the Chief Inspiration Officer, she has a huge responsibility of providing inspiration. This inspiration is both for staff to impart world-class service and for clients to boost their business growth. She says, “Because we meet with clients on a regular basis, I am working hand-in-hand on a daily basis with our various teams, ensuring they have the tools, resources, and knowledge to ‘wow’ our clients! Before or after hours, I am handling the not so sexy side of the business such the various accounting and administrative tasks that need to be handled. There is no such thing as a 9 – 5!”
Obtaining a work life balance may be hard but it is the true essence of happiness. Although there are many uncontrollable factors from time to time, self-reflection is the key to put things into perspective. She adds, “It reminds me why I do what I do each and every day and even motivates me to want to do more, to give more!” She keeps her weekends strictly for her detox from technology and full-time with family where her husband acts as a strong anchor along with her six dachshunds who love going outdoors, riding bikes, and enjoying nature!
