Who Are You “Being” When At Your Best?
Remember a time when you were felt you could do no wrong in your business and everything seemed to go your way? The feeling was exhilarating, wasn’t it? Other times, when we find ourselves grinding it out, totally NOT in the zone, we experience a completely different feeling. A key to soaring to success and […]
Entrepreneurs That Activate Their Power of Choice Soar to Success
When we make a decision to change and begin to implement new strategies to move in the direction we want to go…say grow our business by becoming a recognized expert (be sure to read our feature article about Dorie Clark for tips), or even just create and implement a new prospecting plan…invariably along the way, […]
Entrepreneurs That Learn Acceptance Soar to Success
Many of us operate from an attitude of “I have to make life happen. If I don’t, it won’t be the way I want it to be.” According to Zen teachings, we’re better off just accepting everything as it is. That sounds like a do nothing approach to life, but that’s only because we confuse […]
Successful Entrepreneurs Accept That They Aren’t Perfect

Being the “Alpha” is Exhausting
Have you seen the Sea Lions that hang out around Newport, Oregon? It’s fascinating. There are platforms right off a pier in a fishing marina where the male sea lions roam looking for food. There were over 100 there the day we visited. The front raft had one sea lion on it – the Alpha. […]
Create Powerful Video Testimonials
Great testimonials provide credibility for the recipient of the testimonial. However, research shows that a person who visits a website finds video testimonials much more believable than written testimonials. When you record a video testimonial for someone or ask an individual to do one for you, the 30 second testimonial video should include these three […]
Release Instant Gratification
We’ve become an instant gratification society and want everything NOW! We’re accustomed to fast food, streaming and instant information on the Internet. When this mindset flows over to our business, it can be harmful. Studies show that individuals who cultivate the ability to delay gratification are more successful, financially stable and happier people. They know […]
