Should I Pull the Plug or Persevere?
| |
| If you could start from scratch, what would your business look like? I’m hoping if you are feeling drained or uninspired by your current business you’ll find the courage to tackle this head on. Nothing good comes from forcing yourself to do what doesn’t light you up. Burn out and overwhelm are a sure-fire recipe for the Universal Wake Up Call (and you know those are painful, right?) |

It Takes a Village to Raise a Nation
| |
| After years and years of building my business I know it’s a heck of a lot more fun (and a lot less work) to raise a vision when you have a village of people supporting you! I’ve always had a team. To me that’s a no-brainer. But sometimes I lose sight of the other important “villagers” I need to help me stay connected to my vision. |

It's Time for a Revolution....But Not THAT KIND!
| |
| Sometimes I want to run up and down Melrose Boulevard screaming “Stop the Madness People!” Well, not really, but the thought has occurred to me that somewhere, somehow, this madness has to shift.
I’ve found that picking up a paradigm-shifting book is the best way for me to re-center myself. Last week I finally started reading “The Storm Before the Calm” by Neale Donald Walsh. As I was browsing through the first few pages this quote literally jumped off the page at me. |

7 Character Traits of an Extraordinary Entrepreneur
| |
| Extraordinary entrepreneurs recognize that all things are possible – it’s their attitude towards the goal that has to shift. When you believe you can accomplish anything you “sort” ideas and opportunities differently. Someone who has a limited filter typically rejects 99% of new ideas. Someone who sees everything as a possibility only rejects what isn’t in alignment. Which one are you? |

Is Your Ladder on the Wrong Wall?
| |
| I had a client named John and he asked me to help him stop feeling overwhelmed so he could put the fun and freedom back into his life. Within our first conversation, John realized…

Nothing and no one can stand in your way.

Successfully Advertising A Business For Sale
| |
| It always amazes me when an owner or business broker goes to sell a business that they usually don't know how to successfully advertise a business for sale. They go to all the trouble of getting it ready for sale, collect all the info needed for the sale, and then "rush" the advertising portion of the process. After posting their limited, ineffective advertising they complain that the buyers they are getting calls from are "unqualified", "unprofessional", and "time wasters".
Hundreds of business buyers interviewed for my book either in person or in my focus groups gave me many valuable insights on how owner/sellers and broker/agents can "get it right" when they go to advertise a business for sale.

The Art of Changing Your Mind Before You Change Your Life

In Your Shoes
| |
| Ever wish that you could have the lifestyle of someone you truly admire? Perhaps it’s the lifestyle of the “rich and famous” like a movie star, or a singer? How do you think people would react if one day you decided to start acting like a “diva extraordinaire,” or a megastar actor? My guess is that your family might want to have you admitted for observation. Would the ramification be any less serious if you instead decided to imitate your next door neighbor or business mentor? |

| Your day is moving quickly, you struggle to get your kids off to school and yourself off to work.
You are feeling hurried, there is just not enough hours in your day to get everything done. Freedom from the 9-5, and living a lifestyle of your dreams, full of adventure that was the dream.
