Kyle began our phone call by sharing his frustration. “I hate the politics at my company,” he said. “The only projects that get done are the ones sponsored by the company president’s ‘pets.’ The worth of the project doesn’t matter; it’s all about who you know. I do great work, and that should be enough.” I could hear the anger in his voice. “I’m not good at playing the game – and I won’t!”

Wisdom comes with winters.rn~ Oscar Wilde In this season of deep freeze outside (at least here in the Northern Hemisphere), I wonder what would happen if I put a freeze on my spending? I close my eyes and listen to my body’s response. I feel relief. I feel relief washing all over my body. A relaxation, a letting go, a sense of calm comes over me. It’s as if I am breathing mountain air with no distractions.

In my 13 years of coaching entrepreneurs to be successful, I have uncovered that many people have a deep-seated fear of success. When I probe for the reasons behind this fear of success, the pattern is very similar. The clients that I work with who are afraid to be successful often had situations in their childhood that caused them to retreat. There were hostile environments, turmoil, chaos and fighting, and the individual did the only safe thing to do, which was to withdraw and form the belief that it’s really not safe to be visible.

Have you noticed that no one talks much about perfectionism anymore? My business coaching clients used to tell me their compulsion to do everything perfectly was getting in the way of their success. But these days, with the fast pace of life, the constant stream of information, and the increased workload on everyone’s desks, our struggle for perfectionism seems to have largely disappeared. It’s not that people are feeling guilty or making excuses about not being perfect. It’s just gone from the conversation.

I’m often asked by solopreneurs who hear me speak what “one thing” should they do that would bring them to the financial success they want. I answer this by asking them to close their eyes, take a few deep breaths, and ask themselves a single question. Try this for yourself, and you’ll usually find what you need to do the most. The question is, “What is the thing I am avoiding most in my business?” Solopreneurs are solely responsible for the direction and success of their businesses.

According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, American companies spend $300 billion every year on stress-related work issues like reduced productivity, absenteeism, health insurance costs, direct medical expenses and employee turnover.

YOU UNSTUCK:EXCERPT #7 BY LIBBY GILL SETTING THE STAGE FOR A V-8 MOMENT You know those moments of insight that zap you like a bolt out of the blue?

A sermon recently expounded the value of failure not as failure itself, but as a means of growing one's sense of self worth and moving towards new experiences. Failure does not mean that one has failed in life'snwork, but is just a measure of how much more one has tondo in life. If one task is ...

One good thing about being in business as long as I have is that you no longer need to do something just because everyone else is doing it. At some point, you have to choose what truly fits you. No more trying to put a round peg in a square hole. Working on my 2013 business plan over the last few weeks,I’ve decided this year will be all about doing it my way. That means no more shoulds. No more doing for the sake of doing. For me, 2013 will be less about doing and more about connecting. It’s time to honor my introverted self and do business in a way that takes care of me!

What if there was a system of Inventory classification that you could use to maximize the effectiveness of your efforts in just about any aspect of your business especially inventory management?

I choose to live in a personal evolution zone. I prefer to evolve and improve my life with incremental steps toward profound change. Reflecting on my successes and failures in 2011 helped define my personal intentions for the new year. And while I have lofty intentions and enormous dreams, I expect occasional setbacks. I believe you can correct your course of action and begin again at any time. Falling off the wagon does not mean you've failed.

Deepak Chopra explains the nature of consciousness as a movie reel where there are multiple frames with a space between each … much like computer binary code … a series of “on” and “off” switches. I find this description quite inspiring and helpful in advancing the possibility for spontaneous evolutionary leaps within a generation. We have the tremendous opportunity in each of these “off” switches to shift our perception and dream an entirely different reality to impact our selves, and the greater world around us.

During a coaching session last week, a client was beating herself up for something she judged as not being good enough. When I asked her the question, “What do you love about yourself?” there was dead silence. I waited. A minute or so later, she told me something she does well for others. Ok, ...

1. Prospects will take calls. Stop worrying that your prospects do not want to speak with you. If your offer has value and you have done your homework, targeted your market and are able to speak about your product/service intelligently and articulately, most prospects will be more than happy to listen to what you have to say. 2. A lot of times, they say "yes." This is true. 3.

If you've ever watched any of the Olympics, you saw plenty of high-caliber, legends-in-the-making athletes. So how DO you become an Olympic legend - or in our case, an Olympic entrepreneur? I think it all begins and ends with your choices. In fact, it really boils down to making consistent choices. Period. Oh, alright, I'll concede that there is a lot involved in becoming a Gold medalist or an Olympic legend. But you have to admit that it all revolves around consistent choices.

Every entrepreneur I work with wants to maximize their confidence, as well as their moxie. It's natural to have doubts and fears when starting or operating a solopreneur business based on exposing your talents ideas, products and services to the public.

Too many businesses are focussed on what they do and not their customers. Even if you are the best manufacturer in the world, without sales you will not be in business. Marketing guru Winston Marsh preaches that “You have to be a better Marketer of what you do than Doer of what you do.” So how good are you at marketing? Most businesses are great at what they do but struggle with marketing and sales. Manufacturers are no different. Here are the key elements you have to consider in your marketing approach if you want to get results: Is it Measurable?

Judith here. Do you or your friends and/or work colleagues struggle with frustration? Anxiety? Insecurity? Breaking promises? Missed deadlines? Puzzling, even maddening behaviors? What’s going on? My husband Jim Sniechowski and I call it The Fear of Being Fabulous™ and it’s the result of Unconscious Loyalties and Forbiddances that are most often hidden from conscious awareness. Yet they are powerful enough to trump even the most determined and articulate of conscious intentions.

As a small business proprietor there are times where I need to call on my higher power. While out running the other morning the song by Carrie Underwood – Jesus Take the Wheel played twice in a row. It played at a time I was brainstorming about my upcoming business meeting. It made realize I just needed to stop worrying and let Jesus take the wheel. The song title has become my new mantra.

The Conscious Business takes a broader perspective and with deeper perception, allowing it to act more intentionally.

There are dozens of different website platforms out there from which to choose. Today, HTML is still a common platform, but many are learning towards other platforms like Drupal and WordPress.

As small business owner do you allow your employees to date each other? Have you ever stopped to consider the pitfalls or legal issues that can arise by allowing an office romance?

At last count there were 58 million search results on the word ‘gratitude’ in Google. Clearly, gratitude is something that is relevant to many. Whether your perspective is from the Law of Attraction, or your own spiritual practice, gratitude is undoubtedly a ‘gift of the spirit.’ Yes, it can be a practice, as in a gratitude journal or a gratitude walk, but mostly its energy. If anything, the physical practices are a pathway to bringing this energy into your world on a regular basis. Here are 3 ways to BE the energy of gratitude:

Is it really worth it to your business bottom line to invest your time and resources to change your mindset, to clear out your old thoughts, patterns, experiences, and beliefs? I’ve heard from many clients that even though they understood that mindset is important to business, several basic thoughts stood in the way of committing themselves to this kind of work -- and now that they know differently, they wished they’d known sooner. Here are the top three misconceptions about energy work to shift mindset and business:

Whiteboard sales conversations are transforming presenting around the world. How can you get the most out of your whiteboard presentation? Find out the 5 moves that alienate audiences and kill sales. For years, sales professionals have relied on PowerPoint to get their message across. This resulted in the common phrase: “Death By PowerPoint.” It’s not really the software’s fault. It’s the over-reliance on one medium to be the do-all, end-all savior for every situation.

Too much "stuff" never brings us happiness. It actually weighs us down. It keeps us stuck. Rooted right where we are. If you feel really stuck, really weighed down, I suggest that you look around your home. Do you have "stuff" everywhere you look? Are your cabinets and closets and drawers full? Are your counter tops and tables holding piles of stuff? If so, it may be that you're keeping yourself tied down. The energy to move -the energy to flow- is stagnant. You feel stagnant.

Posted by Hugh on May 30, 2011 · Leave a Comment What do you do if you need to raise money for your business? For my business, we were able to raise money through privately offering stock legally in our company. This is something you can do if you are a registered security in the state of your residence. There is more to it: you will need to issue the stock, invite investors, educate them, have them subscribe, be legally protected, and be able to “legally pool” their money — because pooling money usually is not legal.
