More About Angela’s Education and Training
Angela earned her Bachelors of Science in Business Administration in Marketing from what is now the Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. She graduated from Full Sail University’s online degree program with a Masters of Science in Internet Marketing. These two degrees give Angela the academic background to fully grasp the intricate details involved with creating and marketing a business or organization.
Her training and education goes beyond the typical classroom. Angela received intense training during a 10-day seminar by Jack Canfield, who is probably best known for creating the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. That seminar instilled in Angela the ability to facilitate skills seminars using experiential-based techniques.
Angela has enhanced her training and skills through frequent consulting and training projects during her work at The Belford Group, the company she co-owns with husband, Barry.
More About Angela as an Entrepreneur 
The drive to develop her own business began early for Angela when she earned a consultant car through Mary Kay at age 23 and became a Sales Director at age 24. She’s succeeded in several direct marketing business opportunities since then—each one giving her insight into what does and does not work in a business, all while feeding her desire to succeed as both a person and an entrepreneur.
Angela is results-oriented, which is evidenced in all of her entrepreneurial efforts. At one point, Angela took on the project to purchase and then “flip” a house. In 89 days, she purchased, made massive renovations and had the home back on the market. Within a few more weeks she sold the home —for a commendable profit.
The ultimate entrepreneurial endeavor came in 1999 when Angela and her husband purchased what they now call The Belford Group. The Belford Group is a successful company that offers a full array of marketing, social media, web development and branding services. For the first 8-10 years of the business, it was primarily a custom software development company where Angela did sales, analysis and training for most of the custom development. The Belford Group has clients from all over the nation.
