“I had it all backwards,” Valorie reflects. “God was
saying if you will just do what I called you to do—this
isn’t about money. Money won’t be an issue. You’ll
never make more money than if you do what I called
you to do. And that was very clear… I had been
fighting because I didn’t want to give up my business
and what felt secure to make a leap toward
something that didn’t feel secure, but that I felt
passionately about.”
Valorie was stuck in a quandary.
Though it wasn’t an easy choice, months later,
Valorie finally stepped out in faith and sold The
Burton Agency. This was a turning point in her life;
her decision freed her to pursue her calling.
Today, Valorie is living her dream and helping others
realize how possible it truly is.

Today, Valorie is living her dream and helping others
realize how possible it truly is.
Because of her obedience to the call of God, at 35 years old, Valorie Burton is an
accomplished Author, Life Coach, and Speaker. Organizations like American Airlines,
Toyota, O, The Oprah Magazine and Ohio University have hired her as a speaker.
She has also spoken at events for some of the nation’s largest churches, including: The
Potter’s House, Lakewood Church, and New Birth.
But before experiencing her whirlwind success, few people knew that underneath the
confident façade, she felt inadequate and inept. “One day, I was looking at all these
speakers and authors, and in my mind they had something I didn’t have. For some reason,
I put other people on a pedestal like they had a magic formula that I just didn’t have access
to, no matter what… and it was like God was saying, Why not you Valorie? You have what it
takes too. They don’t have some magic formula. A lot of them started with less than you
started with. So, use what you’ve got and move ahead.”
Just a year ago, Valorie released a book called, Why Not You? 28 Days to Authentic
Confidence, based on the insecurities and doubts that God gave her the strength to
overcome.
But before breaking free, she needed to identify the origin of her feelings of inferiority.
Interestingly, the root of the problem dated back to a time when Valorie was only a teenager.
“When I was 17, I went to the Air Force Academy and ended up on academic probation. I
left feeling dumb, and decided I was going to prove to the world—though nobody was
paying attention but me—that I was still smart.”
Thus, a vicious cycle of overachievement and busyness began.
