When it comes to money, people get serious very quickly.

Darn near everyone gripes about money. I do it, too. We each have triggers about making, spending and saving money. But the one I hear the most about is not getting paid enough. Either you have an abundance of clients but they don't pay you for the real value you give or you don't have enough clients and you're scared
I was never a fan of the Star Wars movies when they first came out. I didn't get what all the hype was about…until a decade ago. A friend told me I had to watch all of them, because I would become a fan. He was right. It was actually the character of Yoda I fell in love with and his lessons about "The Force".
Lingering thoughts about revenue can evoke stress even in those who are financially sound. It’s natural to set targets for bigger revenue generation. But when you contemplate the possibility of not making the goal, all chaos breaks lose in your mind. It’s even worse when your bank account is showing you the reality
Once I say yes, I don’t like to say no. If I make a decision, I like to stick with it. If I make a commitment to you, I’m going to keep it. If you’re my client, I want to give you all the support you need. But what if I change my mind? \ The act of saying no, can be one of the most strategic, smart
Often I find that clients are not getting their goals and experiencing frustration or sadness. They are caught up in their feelings but not truly observing what is happening. \ My client, John, was in deep need of attracting his ideal administrative assistant. For years, he kept hiring subpar people. They looked g
I always thought it would be cool to have the super powers to look in to a crystal ball and see my future. As I grew up I was educated that there was no such thing as a crystal ball. Now I believe there is a way to see into my future.
I caught myself being insane, and yet I kept doing the same thing over and over. My web goddess has used a Facebook plug-in on my website so people could comment and ask questions once they watched one of my training videos.

I was right in the middle of watching American Idol and my stomach began cramping. I thought it must be a gassy tummy and assumed it’d go away shortly. I was wrong.

Entrepreneurs seem to have an endless supply of ideas for new products and services. What they often lack is the follow through to take an idea into a sellable format and the marketing 'know how' to back it up. \ You may be living this experience right now. You have a pretty good solution to a pretty common proble
I used to hate planning. Why plan, when you can just get into action? \ Fortunately, and unfortunately, playing that way got me to six figures in my business. I kept doing my business the only way I’d practiced up to that point… * Get an inspired idea. * Throw it out to my tribe. * Hope somethi

I’m a tank top, shorts and flip-flops kind of girl. Suits are definitely not my thing. Yet, back in 1999, every month I put one on to lead a live workshop on cash flow.

My mom and I, along with my boys, drove down to Southern California to visit Disneyland. I, therefore, had six hours in the passenger seat to try to figure out the best way to navigate the Alice-in-Wonderland-like mazes that define the innards of the park. I opened my iPad and researched show times in the park, how to

Do you ever catch yourself whining like a five-year-old about your business rather than shining like a rockstar CEO? \ We all whine, and it usually feels justified.

I’m one of those people who is either super happy, really at peace, having a blast or highly stressed. Whatever I do, I do it big. I’m not proud of it, it just is. I’m always a little surprised when I get wound up about something negative because in general I live knowing that all is well. Except when I forget.
I often trick myself into thinking that I have a certain end result in mind but upon further examination, I notice that what I’m really committed to is something else. \ Commited or TryingFor instance, in the past I’d tell myself that I wanted to create a certain amount of income per month. Yet, month after mo
Over the years, I’ve had many clients who said, “I always get what I want, but it never seems easy.” \ All struggle is birthed in your mind.

Most entrepreneurs think that laying out a plan of attack is what turns a business dream into a reality. \ Nope. \ You could be highly productive on a daily basis to put that plan in motion and may still not increase your profits. I’ve lived that scenario several years in a row. It’s very disheartening. A
Sometimes what you know may be more dangerous than what you don’t know. You may mistake knowledge or experience as “truth”.

My mom loves to cut out articles from magazines and newspapers that she knows may be of interest to me. She’s done it for decades. This week she gave me one about taking things off your to-do list. Of course, it immediately drew me in because I’m a huge advocate of having only a few things on your task list, so you
One of the first things you are told as a business owner is that you must have a business plan. I agree. I’m a fan of long-term and right now plans. But that doesn’t guarantee you profits or growth. Many people file that puppy in a drawer or stash it in the depths of their computer. Then it’s out of their mind un
A majority of mankind bumbles through life doing things they think are good for them. But most never ask a simple question, "Is this action or behavior getting me the results I most desire?" \ And it's no different if you're a business owner. You get in a habit - some might call it a rut - taking similar actions
One of my favorite books on attitude is The Aladdin Factor by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hanson. They say, “If you don’t ask, the answer is always no.” And they are right. You have to ask for what you want from yourself, others, the Universe/God and your own Inner Guidance. \ I’m a huge promote
I used to HATE marketing. In fact, I used to use four letter words in front of the word "marketing" when I thought about doing it. I just wanted coaching clients, why did I have to do this torturous act? So, I stopped marketing. My joy raised and my stress went down, down, down. \ My epiphany came when my good f

Everyone tries to make their freebie sound like it’s going to rock your world. You enter your email address into their form in hopes of getting some life changing info, only to feel like you wasted your time after you get the audio, video, eBook or report. \ It’s time to razzle and dazzle your peeps with some
It's fascinating how some people have no problems asking for what they want, while it doesn't occur to others to even ask. I watch the phenomenon show up in my classes all the time.

I’ve been pondering what it takes to double your business growth in a year. I’ve tripled my revenue in one year and doubled it another, using a very simple plan. I began by relaxing and letting go of control. Then I came up with a few practices and action steps.
There are lots of ways to grow your business, work with clients and offer your products. Often it's challenging to know what to accept and what to decline.

“Build it and they will come.” \ What a crock! Total lie. \ I built a lot of things in my business that didn’t result in customers running to buy, readers commenting on my blog or even fans “liking” my Facebook page. \ Finally it dawned on me that I needed help getting the word out to my ideal
I was recently asked by an entrepreneur in the Mastermind group I coach, "How do you work 24 hours a week and be successful?" I thought that was a great question and one that requires honesty. \ When I originally claimed a 3-day workweek for myself, I didn't have kids. I scheduled all my appointments on Tuesday,
I inadvertently became an entrepreneur about the time I turned twenty-one. My mother told me that she and my brother were starting a business and I didn't want to be left out. I created two other businesses before going through coach training eight years later. \ By that time I knew how to connect with people, get
I’ve been writing about it for years. I coach clients on this topic every week. I watch colleagues fizzle under its pressure. Business owners are run by it. Everyone reacts to it ungracefully. It’s running rampant in the world. It’s called overwhelm. Overwhelm is a perspective, not a thing that c
I had mastered a bad habit in my relationship. This particular practice was born out of the desire to keep peace in my house. \ It finally occurred to me that the thing I was doing to keep peace, actually kept me away from it.
