How to Give Your Customers Exactly What They Want
Technique #1: Start With Your Outcome, Not Questions This week I want to challenge you with this thought: “Think Outside of the Box.” The topic of this blog is a little different and will require you to think outside of the box. Diving right into it, I do not want you to think about all the questions to put into your survey. I want you think about the outcome first! So many people fail before they hit the ground running with their survey because they think “Questions First.” Think about it…before creating and writing questions, you need to know what you want from them first. Therefore, in hindsight, your first…

Seek Out New Opportunities
Last week, I explained how overcoming setbacks is as an easy as A.B.C. A-Ambiguity B- Build C-Commit This week I am going to show you how easy seeking out opportunities is.

Avoid Focusing on Set-backs and Seek out New Opportunities
Avoid Focusing on Setbacks There comes a time in one’s personal and business life, where a setback comes in and rears its ugly head.

Or they can come to terms with the reality of the set back and push forward. It is as easy as A.B.C. stands for Ambiguity. A trait that is tied to most entrepreneurs which holds the meaning: The possibility of interpreting an expression in two or more distinct ways. When facing a setback, especially one that leaves a person in a negative situation, the best thing to…

The Right Attitude & Mindset is a Must ~Be like the Bee~
Aerodynamically, the bumblebee should not be able to fly, but the bumblebee does not know it so it goes on flying anyway. Mary Kay Ash There is a saying that goes “You are your own worst critic”. This simple six-word sentence is especially true when it comes to negative thoughts. In the last two weeks, I have encouraged you to take big risks about your life, business, even your actions. I can challenge you and motivate you to reach these amazing goals, but there is one thing I cannot do. I cannot take away your own negative thoughts that probably consume you when something really, positive is happening. Did you…

It’s a Balancing Act
Continuing with the balance theme… there are so many areas of our lives these days requiring our attention and not just when we get to it but sometimes like it needed to be done yesterday. Work, relationships, personal time, school, emotional, physical, mental, etc are all aspects of life that require balance. If balance is not established, you may find yourself feeling or saying something like this; “I am drained, exhausted and overwhelmed.” “I wake up in the morning and automatically feel tensed and stressed.” “My life is chaotic and out of control.” “I need to change my life but have no clue where to start.” “I cannot focus…
