About

I remember when I was growing up, all the children in my neighbourhood would come over to my house every day after school. They wanted to hangout with me, because I would help them with their homework, and put on pageants where they would get to dress-up and pretend they were on the runway. It was their time to be in the spotlight! 

Not much has changed for me, as I am still very passionate about helping other women entrepreneurs get visible, get known and build an iconic brand that stands out.

This is why I am launching the Kharisma Magazine which is part of a bigger platform for iconic entrepreneurs who are daring greatly & making an impact in the world.

It gives me the opportunity to provide you, the woman entrepreneur a one-stop resource for guidance, training, tools and inspiration to empower you to build your brand, business and live your best life. 

When I first started out on the entrepreneurial journey, there was no support like what we are building with the Kharisma Magazine and online hub platform for entrepreneurs like yourself. I had to learn everything on my own and I am still learning, as you never arrive at a place where you stop learning. As I learn new things to take my business to the next level, I want you to accompany me on that journey too! 

About

Hi, my name is Kharisma Aro, Founder of the Dare to Be Iconic Academy, Publisher of the forthcoming, Kharisma Magazine. As a Visibility Coach and Iconic Brand Strategist, I help conscious entrepreneurs get visible, get known and build an iconic brand that stands out, to give them the income, impact and freedom lifestyle they desire. 

As Host and Producer of my own online show, The Kharisma Show (Podcast), a 5-day a week business and lifestyle podcast, I interview today's inspiring and successful Lifestyle Entrepreneurs, thought leaders and bestselling authors who share their stories, strategies and tips. I have been featured on various media interviews such as CP24, CHCH TV, and the Barbados Nation newspaper.

Short Summary

 Mission & Positioning 

~ Founder's Statement 

With this magazine and online hub, we have an opportunity to make a real impact in the lives of women entrepreneurs. We want to inspire and empower them to be iconic in business and life.

Risks & Challenges

We're working hard to publish the magazine bi-monthly, however we recognize that it's possible to experience unforeseen delays with any project.

The delivery date listed on the project is when our app will go live, and is simply an estimate: the creative process of creating a magazine is very fluid and can easily lead to delays.

The good news is that the Kharisma  Magazine is a digital project with only a print edition once per year —we won't have manufacturing delays or supply issues. However, because we're an app, there are some things we can't control, like the approval process or technology barriers.

We've built a buffer into our expected delivery date just in case we run into any such issues.

Please be assured that we're doing our very best to ensure we deliver the project on time, including the anniversary print edition.

I will be keeping open and honest communication with all of our backers. Thank you for believing in us!
