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.

Are You Looking for Excuses or Solutions?

Have you ever found yourself in a spot where you create an excuse – you really, truly believe that there was another person or another factor outside of your control that was the reason you couldn’t reach your goals.

Now, we all start building up our “excuse bank” very young because we don’t want to feel badly or shamed or blamed. It’s a natural occurrence it’s called a defense mechanism (the ego trying to “defend” us) – we all use them to some level, and it’s there to protect us (I’ll get into this in more detail in a minute).

Most recently, I was listening to Esther Hicks, and one of her best-known books is called Ask and It Is Given. Now, I’ve heard the phrase “inspired action” many times, and probably for many years. But the true meaning and importance of “inspired action” didn’t hit me until now.

That’s what I love about repetition – when you read the same book again and again, you pick up different things each times based on where you are in your life, how you see the world, your growth since you last read it, and so many other factors. Read More

It’s confusing to a lot of people, because the word ‘influencer’ is being bantered around a lot as a catchphrase these days!

It is important to understand the distinction between the types of influencers so that you can best harness your power and influence, and stay on top of what’s going on in the world of marketing and branding so you can decide what kind of brand influencer you want to be, and which brands and brand influencers you might want to follow or align yourself with.

Every influencer has a responsibility to be authentic, be in integrity, and lead with relevancy. But what kind of influencer are you?

While there are a lot of different types of brand influencers, I want to share three I find most interesting: Read More
