Free or Trade vs. Paid Business Ventures
October 29, 2010 By Leave a Comment
If you’re in business for yourself, you’ve probably at some time considered trading services or products with another business for something that you needed in your business. If you haven’t at least considered this, that’s probably pretty rare compared to other entrepreneurs. However if you have entered into a trade or pro-bono type of agreement with another business professional such as yourself I’ll bet you have some stories to tell, don’t you? I have a few of my own of course, which is why I typically make it a rule NOT to do any kind of trade for services anymore. I did however make a rare exception the other day and I’ll tell you why. But first, lets talk about … [Read more...]

Are You Generating These 3 Types of Income in Your Business or Are You Missing Out on Easy, Potential Revenue Streams?
August 13, 2010 By Leave a Comment
One thing that comes up so often when I speak with my coaching clients is that they aren't maximizing their income generating opportunities. Most believe that all they can make is $50,000 or maybe $75,000 but hardly anyone (who isn't already exposed to this way of doing business) ever imagines they could make $100,000 a year or even $300,000 or more! These 3 types of income streams could be so easy to produce and start selling yet most people don't see these things in their own businesses easily which is why it's good to have a coach. The right coach or mentor can see 'what's missing' in your business, where the holes are and also where the opportunities lie too. Often times I see … [Read more...]
How to Effectively Follow Up From a Big Conference
July 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Attending, speaking at and being an exhibitor at large conferences and business events are one of the primary ways that bring me consistent client and cash flow. If you haven't considered doing this in your business for your niche or target market then I can tell you that you're missing out on thousands of dollars worth of sales. If you are doing this as one of your current marketing strategies then that's great but I'll bet you're not maximizing your exposure or time while you're there to the fullest extent? One of the biggest mistakes I see business owners make when they do attend, speak at or become an exhibitor at a large conference is that they don't have an effective plan … [Read more...]
You Get What You Pay For
July 2, 2010 By Leave a Comment
You've heard the phrase but do you really pay attention to this when it comes to investing in yourself or your business? Many entrepreneurs do not, I know because I talk with hundreds of women entrepreneurs every month! They continuously are trying to find ways to cut costs, get stuff for free, find someone to trade for services or reason why they 'can't afford it' or shouldn't invest. It's really clear and simple what I tell them and so I'll keep this short and sweet. Yes it's fine and very important to cut costs when you can in your life and business, in any economic market. However, when it comes to necessary things in the running and marketing of your business or making … [Read more...]
How to Manage Overwhelm & Massive Life Change
May 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment
This particular topic has arisen for me this week because of my own life and situation with my business. I'm not an expert in life changes, merely a participant and observer. I do however coach women entrepreneurs how to manage being overwhelmed in their business, how to create better and more effective systems, processes, marketing and teams to take away much of their overwhelm. However today I thought I would just talk about it openly and honestly from one woman to another (as I know most of you who read this are women). First of all, we can be overwhelmed with our business, our to-do lists, our email, our prospecting and follow up - so much so that none of it gets done right? Ever … [Read more...]

" This is part 2 to last week's post about playing too small in business. Enjoy!Now whether you play small in business or your personal life, it all ends up the same way really....you ultimately don't get what you want.Here are the 7 signs you may be playing too small in life:1. You've chosen to settle for a life without passionate love2. You're not happy in your job or doing what you're doing for work3. You haven't taken a real 7+ day vacation in over 3 years4. You can't remember the last time you bought something for yourself or treated yourself to something nice just because5. You normally allow others to dictate or plan how you will spend your days off or down time6. You wake up often … [Read more...]

“What’s Up With All the ‘Mastermind Programs’ Out There and WHY Should I Consider Joining One Myself for Next Year?”
November 29, 2009 By Leave a Comment
I woke up this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep without writing this because I think it’s so important…this was confusing to me a couple years ago too when I first started joining mastermind programs and high level coaching programs. I think it’s appropriate and timely to talk about it too because I’ve been getting lots of questions about the new programs I’m offering and how they compare to ‘other people’s mastermind and coaching programs’. In fact I decided to do a ONE-TIME TELECLASS on the subject this coming Thursday, December 3rd at Noon PST….enter your name and email here now and get access to that call. Name … [Read more...]
Who Dictates Your Price Tag?
September 25, 2009 By 1 Comment
How are you pricing yourself? Is it you who assigns the dollar signs or do you let your fears of the economy or what you "think" people will pay determine what you decide to charge for your time?Think about this for a minute....And WHY have you priced yourself (or your products and services) the way you have?Or are you in a business (like a network marketing company) where you have NO IDEA what you're really making per hour? You just know you need to work HARDER to make more? Want to figure out what you're actually making per hour? Is it above minimum wage? I can't tell you how many people I talk with who when we break it down in hours, time, numbers and figures they're actually making less … [Read more...]
“Why a Membership Business Model Might be Right for You” , Part 1
December 17, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Over the last couple years I've found out about a whole new business model that's one of the most ingenious models I've seen yet - memberships.You put up a website, offer a bunch of valuable content on a particular topic and maybe offer monthly information in one form or another as well (spending a couple hours a month ...maybe...) and then you market the site and watch people become subscribers and pay you for your information!!It's absolutely amazing!!I know a ton of people doing membership sites and there are a few different types even that I'm probably not even aware of yet because I'm even still learning about them.I have had one (my Silver Mentor Program) for a couple years now but … [Read more...]

Do you have trouble focusing?
August 6, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Focusing ON your business, rather than just IN it?Where do you do your best, most productive work?Where do you come up with the BIG IDEAS?Where do you find it's easist for you to IMPLEMENT those big ideas?A couple years ago, I thought it was just me. Just me who procrastinated those things I didn't want to do or didn't know how to do. Just me who got distracted with the dog in my face, my own personal needs (working out, massage, getting my nails done, shopping, etc.) or friends calling to get together.Do these things sound familiar to you? If it's not procrastination, why are you stuck? What do you think is holding you back from really focusing and being hugely successful?There could be … [Read more...]
