Always have a backup. . . Most of my clients prefer to meet virtually, it saves travel time and costs while still allowing us to get things done. That said, I do offer in person days and have a location away from the 3 dogs and 4 cats in which to host them. So when a client called for an in person half day, I was thrilled. She’s been a partner for years and we’ve never met in person. My Team called up my local conference … [Read more...]
Do you find yourself uttering the words "there's not enough time" or "I didn't have time to X" when it comes to activities in your business? If so, you want to ask yourself "Did I really want to do it?" or "Do I really want it?" So many want a successful business and yet don't want to do all the work associated with having/getting one. I hear all the time about people who want to work 20 hours now, earn 6 figures+ and "can't afford" to … [Read more...]

Before you watch the below video, remember an article from a couple weeks ago in which I shared the 3 Most Dangerous Words in Business. The reason I mention that is this video may seem deceptively simple and you may be tempted to say "DUH, I knew that." It's not what you know...it is what you do. Enjoy the video, it's just over a minute long, then look around your desk/email, pick a project and get started. :-) How … [Read more...]
I'm often asked how I get so much done or "where to start" once someone makes their Success Action List (sounds SO much better than "to do" list). The answer is simpler than you may think. . . … [Read more...]
It all started by my shutting down earlier than usual yesterday and not going through my regular process of setting things up for the next day -- what am I doing, when am I doing it, how much time will it take, etc.... As Sasha (big lab/rotti mix) and I went for our "Mommy and Me" morning walk this morning (Sasha's MUCH less demanding than my shepherd or llasa apso and so I'm sure to get this focused time in with her), I was … [Read more...]
The first time I heard the term "money loves speed", I was in Ali Brown's Platinum Mastermind group. And boy did the phrase hit home. I've altered it slightly for me to "success loves speed" and with success defined as "achieving a goal", whether it be personal, business, revenue-related, etc. That said, the calendar shows we have 97 days left in 2009. Or do we? … [Read more...]
