The Value of Having Another Perspective
Before I get into todayâs topic, I wanted to clarify something from a reader about last weekâs blog, âTaming Your Brain.â I had mentioned that if I hadnât been meditating for many years, I wouldnât have been able to recognize or be aware of my thoughts to start changing them and taming my mind. The beauty of this is – that it was MY PROCESS. It took me a long time because of ALL the things I let get in my way, like my issues with alcohol, stopping meditating for a while, and more. Then in the past six years of being in recovery, and now my addiction to learning…

What kind of help do you give your clients or colleagues?
Have you ever worked with a client who had some specific things they wanted you to help them with and you werenât sure these things would work? What did you do? 1. Did you go along with them and give them advice and simply do the work they wanted? 2. Or did you tell them their plan had some flaws and wasnât as good as it could be, and you proposed to help them come up with an even better plan? Seth Godin recently mentioned this kind of help in his blog. The second option is actually rarer – and in fact, more useful. Plus, itâs a bit harder to do. You have…

By defying logic you can create incredible success – hmmmmm
I love counterintuitive ideas and things that really get my mind spinning – much like a chew toy does for a dog⌠The one I want to share with you today is about how when you *defy logic. You can actually create some tremendous success. No, Iâm not talking about feats of engineering or technology. Iâm talking about the idea of perception vs. reality. And about alchemy and magic. Letâs say you think of a good idea for a business. And itâs really a good idea, one that others have done, yet, youâre going to turn that industry on its head. Yet, when you share the idea and if you start…

Are you good at finding things?
Thereâs been one thing that somewhat mystifies me, and thatâs my ability to find things that are lost. I canât really explain it, except when I canât find something, thereâs an inner voice that actually whispers to me where I can find that lost item. I know, I know, this may sound a bit crazy, and before you think that I hear voices, let me explain further⌠Itâs been two weeks since weâve moved to our new house, and one of our most used questions has been – âHey honey have you seen the [insert name of item here]?â I thought we did a pretty awesome job at packing, yet,…

Itâs Time to Change Your Stories
What are the stories you keep telling yourself? You know, the ones when it comes to putting yourself out there in a big way to promote your business – âOh, this wonât work. Someone else has already created something like this. I need to come up with a new idea.â Or âWho do I think I am trying to sell and promote this course? I donât have enough experience.â Or âI canât ask for $500. Thatâs way too much for this course. I donâ think they will pay it.â Can you relate to any of the above statements? Itâs essential to pay attention to those thoughts that pop into your…

I Did Something a Little Crazy
Have you ever stepped out of your comfort zone and done something a little crazy, or maybe out of your ordinary routine, or stretched your beliefs? Well, thatâs what I did last week. I bought a course for $6,000. Ummmm, yeah, a little out there for me cuz Iâve not ever spent that amount of money on a course before. Iâve spent upwards of $25k on a year-long mastermind, and Iâve also spent $5k for a 3-day weekend training. And, Iâve spent $12k a year to be in Brian Kurtzâs Masterclass, which was like a mastermind, where we met three times a year in person. (Yeah, before the pandemic.) Plus,…

Cool Tools of the Trade
Going off script today Iâm constantly asked about what tools I use to keep my business humming along. Iâve written before about some core tools that keep me productive. You can check that article out here. So today, I wanted to share some core tools that will work for you when it comes to websites, email systems, shopping carts, project management, and so much more!

I put a stake in the ground. Registered my business…

The Productivity Secret That Will Change Your Life
One of the things Iâm constantly struggling with: my plate is incredibly full. I just have way TOO many things on that proverbial plate and itâs constantly weighing me down. Iâm a Strategic Marketer & Product Launch Manager, I help people get things done, and here I am, revealing to you my own challenges with getting things done. Well, Iâve actually invested good money with experts to help me âorganizeâ my office, my computer, and my life, as well as I got a new desk, bookshelves, and on an on.

5 Goals to Achieve This Year
If you’re up for it — I am going to push the envelope a little today and actually give you five goals to try to achieve by the end of the year. Remember you are never going to know if you are capable of something if you don’t take that first step. 1. Go small This may be a big one to start with but here goes-Downsize. Look at all aspects of your business whether that includes employees, vendors or service providers. If you find that there is a way for ONE provider to handle multiple jobs than cut back. This may sound strange but sometimes less is more when…

How to Take Bigger Risks This Year
Something fascinating happened to me a few years ago that was worth repeating. I had this experience that totally changed my perspective on how I would think and do things in my business and my personal life. Hereâs what happenedâ I had decided to go to the DMV, yes everyoneâs favorite place to make jokes about. I had been putting it off for almost a year and I had to finally deal with getting a new title. I actually wanted to cross if off my to-do list! (I had paid off my car loanâyeah, and needed to get the lien holder name off my car title.) I had a phone…

Whatâs Holding You Back From the Success You Deserve?
This question Iâve been asked countless of times from coachâs, mentors, therapists, and many an event speaker. In fact, I just got back from listening to Larry Winget speak at the Glazer Kennedy Super Conference in Dallas and his approach was more like a baseball bat to the forehead, but I think it worked. I know I GOT it- what he was saying⌠let me explain⌠If you donât know Larry he has several best-selling books out there- one called- Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get a Life, my other favorite is- Youâre Broke Because You Want To Be. He has an interesting no holds bar approach to success and…

Are You Hard Wired To Fail?
Do you ever set important goals and then find yourself really struggling and not being able to meet them? I used to have MANY sleepless nights when I first started my business. I would freak out about where my next dollar was going to come from or how Iâd finish a project or what to do about x, y and z, it was endless. Worry was taking over my life. Until I was able to read some terrific books on worry and learn about ways that really helped stop me in my tracks and enabled me to push past my worry and fears to create more success for myself. The…
