Jennifer’s parents didn’t approve of her choice to hire a coach now that her new business was up and running. Jennifer was expecting a long letter from them filled with judgments about her irresponsibility – first, with starting this “crazy” business and second, with paying someone for advice. As she waited for that letter, she was figuring out what she would write back. ----------- Sylvia just bought her dream house. She avoided telling her father about it for fear that he

Jennifer sat silently on the other end of the phone. She came to me for help managing her time and structuring her day so she could work on her business while homeschooling her children. I asked her what she did during her office time that week and she couldn’t answer. She honestly couldn’t tell me what she had accomplished – although she knew she had been busy all week. She was sure she had worked hard every day but she didn’t make a dent in the priorities she really needed

Prospective real estate investors who are pondering whether the time is right to enter the market should consider the June 2017 report issued by the National Association of Realtors on existing home sales. The seasonally adjusted annual rate stood at 5.62 million, higher than the consensus and 1.1 percent higher than the previous year. In addition to higher real estate sales across the United States, housing supply fell to 8.4 percent on an annual basis, which means that dema

<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/How-To-Sell-Without-Sleaze-5.png" width="500" /> The tendency of the human being is to think that if you hide away, pretend it is not happening, bury your head in the sand then somehow the storm will be taken away from you… It never works… You tried that already! And it did not work then, it will not work now… Things just got worse, didn’t they? Slowly but surely, all that avoidance, caught up with you… And now instead of making solid decisions, you are still hiding… Quitting… Backing down…

When I was growing up, way back in the old days of black-and-white television (in the very early 1960's), the US Army produced a weekly half-hour program that they called The Big Picture, and it opened with a graphic depicting the globe. John Glenn had not yet taken his first manned orbital ride ...

n nWe excitedly received a few packaged products from Essential Living Foods , anxious to try them out on our American palates. These were powdered forms of what is referred to as the "Lost Crops of the Incas"--a purple co extract, Aji Amarillo Powder, and Camu Camu. We especially enjoyed the spicy hot Aji Amarillo powder. With its lightly sour, warming taste, it has been fabulous on brown rice, and eggs. The Camu Camu is also slightly sour, but also slightly sweet, and seems

I often read debates on forums about whether you should have just a blog or just an ezine, with questions like, “I currently publish an ezine and a blog, but I’m thinking of dropping the ezine and going with just the blog.” My answer... you need both! And here’s why: Creating a blog post is ...

A couple of months ago someone asked me what the biggest fear was that I had to overcome in my business. I didn’t have to think twice about it. My absolute number 1 fear was the fear to be visible. It took me sooooo long to get over it. And I did it step by step. It was definitely NOT one big leap from hiding myself completely to hello-world-here-I-am-and-here’s-how-I-can-help-you! For a long time, I thought I was the only one who was scared to be visible. Turns out, I’

<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Rosemary-Nonny-Knight-blog-posts-4-1024x535.png" width="500"/> I had a question yesterday from one of my private clients and it went – “How do you manage all that you have going on? What’s the secret?” I stopped for a moment to consider it and the truth is, I don’t think I get all that much done. There is always a great number of things that I want to get to and if I stop to consider every single thing that I want to do, in order to reach the 334000 people I have in my mind’s eye then I get VERY overwhelmed!

Let’s be honest… Great things take time. And YOU are called to a GREAT THING! You want everything yesterday, right? And this waiting game is not pleasant at all and yet, it is inevitable that as you stay on the path, you WILL get what you are ‘hustling while you wait’ for.

With all the other chores I have in life, giving clients reminder calls is one of my least favorite tasks. However I’ve found that a reminder all or text 24 hours before an appointment has drastically cut down on “no shows”. The clients who are most likely not to show up are first timers. If I must leave a voicemail the wording isrnsomething like this. “This is Denise Williams, of Much Kneaded Massage calling to confirm our appointment for tomorrow Tuesday Jan 29 at 11:00am.

I recently wrote an article designed to provide information to people who were new to Internet marketing. It was titled, “30 Marketing Facts for the Article Marketing Newbie.” Shortly after the article was posted, someone emailed me saying that they did not appreciate being called a newbie. Wow, some people are soooo sensitive. I have two nephews that play Runescape on the Internet. It is a game where players interact with each other by buying, selling, acquiring items, and

Have you ever wondered why places such as California in the United States and Queensland in Australia are breeding grounds for brand new business ideas and hot beds of industrial passion? I’ve been pondering this phenomenon over the years and I think I have finally hit upon the answer. If you want to find individuals who have the drive to succeed, a passion for excellence and have a risk takers mentality; then look for places in the world where people go to start a new life

<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/AdobeStock_91420977.jpeg" width="500"/> You know what?! It really does not matter one little jot where you come from, your upbringing, what country you currently live in, what your mummy did or your daddy said… It really does not matter in the end what has happened to you… It does not matter that you have never done it before… It does not matter the disadvantages you have! None of that matters. Unless you make it matter!

I am all for you having everything… You know that, right? I completely believe in your ability to conquer the world and make all the money, impact all the people you want… It is absolutely something you are capable of… However, I see you stuck in place getting no results because you are overwhelmed by all the things you have to do… And why? Because you are trying to get TWO or more businesses off the ground at once. And, as much as I think you are capable of doing anything you set your mind, I do not understand why you would dilute your power in this way.

..and if you let go sometimes, you might just get what you need. Technology glitches, miscommunications, people not following through, crappy weather…….the list goes on and on if you are an adult in our society. So much is expected of us, and the level of complexity is astounding simply to survive. If you are a business owner as well, there is the added responsibility to have to stay “on top of” everything, if you are to thrive.

DEARBORN, Mich.—rnFord posted its best first-quarter profit in 13 years, as its new, more fuel-efficient vehicles reached showrooms during a surge in gasoline prices. New arrivals such as the Ford Explorer and Fiesta small car are selling well. Company profits are growing around the world. And Ford is charging more for its cars, helping offset higher commodity costs. Ford Motor Co. on Tuesday said its profit rose 22 percent to $2.6 billion profit, its best first-quarter per

An idea sparked from a conversation that I participated in on a group Mastermind call, raising brand awareness is going to require action – conversations. From just starting-up small businesses, to well established businesses, this idea will create connections and profits online, (and off line as well) in any economy or market. This idea also alerted me to the fact that a lot of people online are on autopilot (No, I won’t name names!) and this includes several of the big

My mentor says, "Suzanne, You must get comfortable with being uncomfortable". Ugh. That is so hard. I know why....I get it. My other mentor says "business is messy". So if you know that business is ever changing, can be messy, and really is an ebb and flow. You must be OK with being uncomfortable. Lots of unexpected things will happen. Lots of unknowns will be present. Lots of mistakes will take place. You sit in uncomfortable quite a bit.

You secretly think that having money is bad… Don’t you? And so you struggle to have that much money… You have just enough for your needs… But not enough for any fun stuff (or so you think) There is just no abundance in your life… And you are doing it to yourself, leader…

Just before we moved from Connecticut to Delaware (where we now live), I was only about a month away from earning my instrument rating on my private pilot's license. From everything I've heard, the instrument rating is the most difficult rating for a private pilot to achieve. If I were to ...

Do you have to beg the air to fill a room? No, you don’t. It is there, always present, always flowing in, supporting life… You can create a vacuum only by deliberately forcing out the air and sealing the container, sealing the room but the moment you let even a pinprick of a hole be established, the air flows back in. No begging, no pleading necessary… Same with you…

Dumbing down is the deliberate oversimplification of intellectual content in education, literature, and cinema, news, video games and culture. The term "dumbing down" originated in 1933 as movie-business slang used by screenplay writers, meaning: "[to] revise so as to appeal to those of little education or intelligence

There is no formula that guarantees success in starting an online business. There would never be any stories of failure, if there was a formula. We will find that there are close similarities in their choices of operation in their early years, if we take a look into all online business organizations that had success. There are basic similarities required if you wish to start an online business. One of the similarities that most successful online organizations had was the know

People can make a decent if not very lucrative living by working from home, but it always seemed like there is some secret to making it work. The perception is that people usually fail in their attempt to start a home-based business. People don't really fail, they just quit. There are three main reasons people quit when starting an on-line business: 1.) People believe that little or no effort is needed to succeed and make money from home. 2.) People have no clue how to mar

People can see through the BS. An email just landed in my inbox that fueled this rant. It was a partner promotional email for someone who is doing a new program launch. That’s fine, I get value from many affiliate promos from people I follow. My issue is with the way this partner framed the urgency piece to get me to sign up for the remaining webinar. I’m guessing this launch is PLF style, which means that there are 3 videos that provide content, know like and trust, and fi

Yes, I am targeting you because I KNOW you and I see you and frankly, I think some days, you need to be shaken awake! And today is that day for you! Stop saying things like ‘I can’t do it in my own strength’ when really you are wimping out from actually playing full-out…

What are you asking for? When you go to a drive-thru (for me Starbucks - thank you! ) do you say give me what you want me to have or I'll take maybe a this or maybe a that. Nope! And if you did, who the heck knows what you would get later? You think it through, decide, ask, and it is given. Same with your business and success! This week I had a client that was frustrated. She is such a lovely human being. You meet her, you melt, and you want more.

Did you know that there are many employees who actually have entrepreneur blood in them? How do you know whether you have much more in you than just working under someone? How do you know if you have it in you to lead instead of being led? When you look at successful entrepreneurs, you will see that they have a few striking characteristics that set them apart from everyone else. They have what we can call an entrepreneurial mind. Do you have it to? Ask yourself if you have th

You and I, we are driven… We are different from most because we have these big ideas of making a huge difference and also making a whole lot of money. It is always a fine balance thinking about money and difference, isn’t it? Thoughts such as ‘Am I allowed to do both?’ arise…

Every day, you wake up and you have the opportunity to start afresh… To be the person you WANT to be… Rather than the person that life and its negativity have taught you to be… There is a vision within you, pulsing, vibrating, nagging at you… It wants you to win more than you ever have won before…

Respect is the core value that builds trust and eventually creates lasting relationships. When people respect and trust you, they will do business with you. So how to show respect? Here they go. Show Up In Meetings On Time Showing up in meetings early or on time is one way of showing respect to the person you have an appointment with. If something unavoidable came up that may cause you delay, let the other person know at least a few hours before the appointment. Waste a custo
