Today we’d like to introduce you to Adrienne Lucy.
Hi Adrienne, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Hello, my name is Adrienne AKA the FundaMentor! I’m a Dallas-based business coach, podcaster, and public speaker who works with small business owners all over the world.
As far back as I can remember, I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit. From selling Kool-Aid sugar mixes to the kids in my 2nd-grade class to creating jewelry sets and selling them to the church mothers in my dad’s church for snack money at school, I’ve always had an eye for money-making opportunities!
But like most people, I loved the reaction I got when people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up…so, I pursued that – a career in the medical field. I spent 10 years as a traveling Respiratory Therapist. Even though it was an amazing journey, it didn’t allow me to express myself creatively. So, after a while, I found myself feeling extremely unfulfilled and knew something had to change.
The crazy part is that I wasn’t alone. So many of my co-workers felt the same exact way. I would often find myself in conversations where they were telling me about their passions, talents, and goals but, that was as far as it went. The vision and motivation was there, they all just failed to create a plan and take action.
That was when it dawned on me! I could use my natural gifts of planning and organization to help aspiring entrepreneurs create a strategic execution plan for their goals. And so…my coaching firm, Goal Minds Unlimited, Inc. was born!
The services I offer and who I help have changed a bit over time, but that is the basis of how and why I became a business coach.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has absolutely NOT been a smooth road! (lol) Before I became “The FundaMentor”, I was a frustrated entrepreneur suffering from severe self-doubt, fear, and Imposter Syndrome — all factors that hindered me from growing my business.
At the time, I thought the solution to my problem was to enhance my branding and marketing knowledge. But no matter how many courses I took, I continued to feel stagnant and overwhelmed.
It wasn’t until I started shifting my mindset and developing healthier habits that I was able to overcome self-limiting thinking and behaviors and begin walking in my God-given purpose. Once I became intentional about improving some specific fundamental skills, my business began to flourish. My clientele grew and my revenue tripled within a three-month timespan!
I’ve found that no matter how talented you are in a certain industry, that alone is not enough to build a successful business. You have to possess certain fundamental skills. I love teaching them to entrepreneurs and small business owners so they can avoid the mistakes I made early on.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I’m known for helping busy entrepreneurs build a better business and life through time management, organization, and execution.

Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
The fact that I am in control of my happiness makes me happy! I’ve learned over the years that happiness is not a destination but a choice I GET to make at any given moment. We may not be able to control the highs and lows of life, but we can always control our state of being. I choose to be happy every chance I get!
