Don’t be a victim of your lifestyle choices... go plant based

“I’m diabetic,” my friend informed me after his doctor visit. “What type? 1 or 2?” I inquired. “Type 2. My doctor told me to lose weight and change my diet, but I’m not sure I can do that,” my friend said matter-of-factually. “I feel like I’m drowning in this. “Why?” I wondered aloud. “You can make changes.” “That’s so drastic. I’m set in my ways, including my eating,” he continued as if he was too old to change. At 66, I didn’t think he was too old. “What are the risks connected with diabetes?” I was truly interested.

Every Business Is a Sales and Marketing Business

No matter what your industry, who your market is, or what product you offer, your business is a sales and marketing business. Unfortunately a lot of entrepreneurs don’t understand this, and even if they do, they resist it. “I feel like I’m prostituting myself,” was the start of one conversation I had recently with a struggling energy worker. She truly believed that if she marketed her services she was somehow selling her soul to the devil. “No wonder you’re struggling!” I responded. When I told her that marketing was simply ensuring that potential clients knew she existed, she relaxed.

What a hangover and a 10 mile run have in common

If you’ve been thinking of trying a plant-based diet and shared this fact with family and friends, there’s a strong possibility they’ve warned you of the dangers of eliminating meat and dairy from your diet. “Where will you get your protein?” is more times than not the big warning. “You won’t have any energy,” is yet another warning. They Don’t Know If someone tells you either thing, take it with a grain of salt. Why? Well, it’s likely they’ve never tried going plant based for more than a day. They didn’t commit 100% to the process.

The Trifecta Power of Virtual Book Tours

Long before my first book was published, I had dreams of being a successful author. Fantasies of making a great living from my writing filled my mind. I created a whole story about what it meant to be a successful author. The life I would live, the people I would meet, the opportunities that would appear out of nowhere. Like many unpublished authors, I mistakenly believed writing a good book was all it took to be successful. Little did I know that writing the book is the easy part. Yup! Writing the book is the easy part.

There’s No Excuse NOT to Eat Plant Based

Some people claim to be committed to a plant-based eating protocol, but unless you’re 100% committed, anything can be used as an excuse to deviate from healthy eating. The holiday season, New Year’s Eve, birthday parties, stress, “just this once” and travel. There’s plenty of other excuses people might use, but truth be told, in order to stay the course of a healthy eating protocol it’s important to be aware of what excuse might be the very one that gets you off track soon turning into, “I’ll get back on track tomorrow.”

Conscious eating the Plant Based Way

One of the greatest benefits of transitioning from the SAD – Standard American Diet to a intentional plant-based eating protocol is the consciousness that comes with making this type of change. Keep in mind, this is NOT about being on a diet. Plant based eating is about a way of life that goes beyond a “quick fix” diet. Plant-based eating is a lifestyle choice. We are a society obsessed with dieting. As author Lana Nelson writes, Our Obsession with Dieting is Killing Us. Conscious Eatingrnr

Have you ever watched a puppy play? Their energy is nonstop. Or, what about a child out on the playground. They go and go and go.

Increase Your ROI By Clearly Identifying Your Avatar

We've all heard, "The more we know who our market is, the better." How true is this? In a word… extremely. After all, if you don't know who you're marketing to, you will likely throw a bunch of stuff on the wall, hoping something sticks. Recently, I hosted a live event in Portland. I was thrilled when we sold out over a month before the event. I couldn't have been more pleased with the caliber of those in attendance. They definitely fit my ideal avatar.

Oil or No Oil on a Plant Based Diet?

The greatest challenge for many people on a plant-based diet is evaluating all the misinformation about things that are NOT healthy; like oil. Yet, despite the evidence, many people continue to pour what they assume to be healthy oils on the salads, beans, potatoes and other healthy foods thus turning them into unhealthy choices. Most people fully understand that vegetable oil is not the best choice of oils. Yet, they are convinced that coconut and olive oil are healthy. 120 Added Caloriesrnr

What Exactly Is Plant Based Eating?

In the time I’ve been a WFPB (whole food plant based) eater I’ve heard a cross-section of people give various definitions of what this is. Everything from absolutely no animal or dairy products to a little in moderation to eat as much as you want of animal products as long as you have plants in your diet. Me… I’m completely animal and dairy free in my eating protocol. I started on my plant based journey based on what I read in Eat To Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. https://amzn.to/2KjbKvzrnr

The REAL Purpose of Podcast Interviews

Many experts think it would be great to book lots of podcast interviews in order to make a pitch. My response to doing this is… DON'T! Podcast interviews are not meant for you to pitch your stuff. They are designed for you to create value for the audience. It's really that simple. The more value you create, the more likely it is that audience members will visit your website, blog and social media platforms to learn even more about you. Blatantly selling on a show is, in most circles, a huge NO-NO! Don't do it. Create Massive Valuernr

Plant Based Eating… Something Lost or Something Gained?

Whenever we make a big change, human nature is to think about what we give up. To succeed at virtually anything, it’s important to think it terms of what we gain. Take plant-based eating. The first response you will likely get from others when you tell them you are plant based is this; “How can you give up meat and cheese? And cheese. Oh cheese. I could never give cheese up!”

Why email marketing is less effective than ever before…and what you can do about it

Ask most anyone who’s been online for any length of time if open rates on broadcast emails have gone down and the majority will give you a resounding YES!
