The “Oprah Factor” and how you can create your own “ X Factor”
In last week’s blog post I shared with you how Meredith and I were so very fortunate enough to attend a taping of one of Oprah Winfrey’s last shows. (Here’s the link: Are you giving your customers/clients and Oprah experience?) It was so exciting to be a part of that experience. I also talked last week about why Oprah is so phenomenally successful and popular. It is because she focuses on giving her audience what they want. She goes out of her way to create an experience that will get her audience excited and make them feel good. Oprah as an entrepreneur is worth billions and she continues to operate…

Are you giving your clients/customers an Oprah Experience?
I’ve always wanted to be in the audience for the Oprah show, but it just was never the right time. In fact, I’ve been in the audience for a lot of shows since I live so close to New York City. I saw Phil Donahue way back in the day, and he even posed for a photo with me and my mom who of course asked a question and was on camera! I’ve seen David Letterman (when he was at NBC), Rosie O’Donnell Show, Saturday Night Live (when Ellen Degeneres was the host), Ellen Degeneres Show (when I was out in LA celebrating my 40th birthday), Tyra Banks, Jane Pauley…

Oprah’s Not the Only One Who Can Have Fun While Working…
It’s true you know, Oprah’s not the only one who can have fun while working. You can too! Yes, I know, I know, it wouldn’t be called work if it was fun and all the other dreary sayings. Listen, you have a choice when it comes to work. The choice is in your attitude and how you view it. Yes, for some work is simply the thing we dread that we must do in order to make money, pay the bills and live. Sounds dreary and boring yet as I said earlier, it can be fun, it’s your choice. In my last blog, which I got a ton of great…

Missed Product Launch Opportunities or Creating Money-Making Products….
Hmm, as I sit here in my comfortable laid back office, enjoying this amazing spring type weather in June in Jersey, the dog is sleeping at my feet, and I’m having twinges of second thoughts for having to cancel my trip this week to Jeff Walker’s Platinum Product Launch Mastermind Group. I know, I know, I made my decision and it’s all said and done, but it doesn’t stop those thoughts, you know the ones that just pop in your head to mess you up. Those thoughts driven by the ego to stop you in your tracks… Thank goodness I can recognize them right away now and not pay them…

Is resistance the “real” dream killer?
Much debate goes on about what kills dreams these days, and of course there are many things. But, how many of these things can be directly attributed to the person themselves? What I mean is, instead of blaming the world, money, people, competition and everything outside of us, why not look within us first. I just finished this book, The War of Art, Break Through The Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield. It was given to me at a Dan Kennedy workshop called the 7 Figure Academy. The sole focus of this workshop was on the 7 ways to take your 6 figure business to 7…

Lessons from Oprah
Last night was a pretty big internet event- Oprah held her first ever online, live streaming video class. It was the first class of ten where she interviews and talks to Eckhart Tolle, author of A New World, Awakening To Your Life’s Purpose. It was a fascinating event. I signed on early and got my “seat,” wondering how they would pull this internet feet off without a hitch. I mean trying to stream video to over half a million people around the world is pretty gutsy and courageous, yet this IS Oprah. The first 20 minutes were amazing. Hearing him talk about why he wrote the book, how important is…
