Last weekend, I was interviewed by entrepreneur Troy Hoffman for his podcast, The Daily Question. We spoke all about my latest book, Generation Why Not^®? 7 Principles to Peak Performers, Driven by Attitude, Not Age, and about how limiting beliefs can hold entrepreneurs back!

I’m so excited about this book! I’ve been interviewing so many fantastic, purpose-driven entrepreneurs who have figured out how to release themselves from the limiting beliefs that were holding them back. I got to share some of the key traits of people who are a part of Generation Why Not^®?

Does this sound like you…or someone you want to be?

1. Open to possibility
2. Believe anything is possible
3. Know you are a co-creator with the universe
4. Universal Laws are unbending
5. Universal Laws are embraced, not resisted
6. Intentions are based on abundance, not lack or fear
7. Commitment to what they want and desire is greater than their commitment to fear
8. They listen to the wisdom of their intuition
9. Committed to the journey as much as they are to the outcome
10. They allow for the universe to bring them results by being unattached to the specific outcome

Most recently, I was in New York.

I went to New York with a very good friend, and we had planned to travel together because he wanted to go on my next New York trip. So we did it! I thought. I thought it would be fun to go with someone who lived in New York for most of his life. He’s fun to be with and I knew he’d suggest some fun things to do and fun experiences.

And then, I found out about a week before our trip, he had met someone from out of the country and they had planned to meet while on this New York trip. He told me he would meet up with me between his visits with this gal – they were going to have a fun little love fest the five days we were in NY!!

That just did not feel in alignment, to say the least!

I thought, Wow, why are we on the same flight to New York? Why are we going at the same time if he’s just going to “fit me in?” I felt “dissed,” once I got over the shock of this new information.

So he canceled all of the “fitting in” when I shared my feelings about it. And truly, it wouldn’t have mattered if it had been a love fest, or anything else – my intentional assumption was that we were going to do our own things during the day, and then connect in the late afternoon or early evening to meet up and enjoy each other and the city.

Fluctuating income can be frightening and frustrating.

As an entrepreneur and expert, it’s hard enough to gauge month-to-month what your income will be. That being said, there are strategies to safeguard and attract a monthly minimum (I’ll do another blog post on that!).

Have you ever noticed that some months you’re riding high and your income reflects that? You are “in alignment” and in the flow with excitement! You think, Okay! I finally have this! I finally figured out what works for me and my business and my clients.

And then the next two months, your income doesn’t even come close to that!

You’re up against fluctuating income.

It’s important that you really identify why you’re dealing with fluctuating income month to month – or if you find yourself living paycheck to paycheck, working to pay your bills and not save anything so you can live the life you want.

Fluctuating income creates doubt, which means your confidence plummets – and we all know what happens in business when your confidence goes down.

I’m going to share three factors that come into play with fluctuating income, and how you can create a more consistent income month to month. Read More

What is an “Expert Celebrity” brand and why is it important to build one?

Expert means your unique expertise, knowledge, experiences, & education – the “meat” of your business.

Celebrity means influence – your ability to lead and influence people, because they trust you & your input as an expert.

An “Expert Celebrity” brand drives sales, book deals, sponsorship opportunities, media, partnerships, & a lot more!

Today, I am going to address the 3 Foundational Building Blocks every Expert Celebrity Brand must have.

But first, I want to share a few brands I’m a huge fan of!

There’s a big difference between being ready and being willing.

I’ve found, through decades of working with my clients, CEOs and entrepreneurs, that most are definitely ready to do marketing, they’re ready to re-brand, or tweak their brand, and they’re ready to do it.

That being said, in many cases, they’re not willing. If you’re ready, but not willing, nothing is going to happen!

If you find you have a lot of false starts with your marketing; if you find you’re having a lot of false branding starts with your business; you’re very frustrated with your business not performing the way you want it to, then your comments might sound something like this: Read More
