No matter what the economy is doing, your business can thrive! Bold statement? Yep! But it’s true. You might have to shift a few things, but it’s very possible… In the end, it’s all up to you. Thrive or fail. During Covid when many businesses were shutting down, my client’s businesses were thriving. Growing even……
The first time I talked to somebody about strategic growth in their business, they looked at me like I had three heads and said, “What is that?”. That was probably 20 years ago now. I’m still talking about strategic growth with my clients and to people who attend my events or who hear me speak….
Do you hate to plan? Do you tell yourself it’s time consuming? Feel like a waste of time? What if it could finally be different… We all do certain things in life we don’t really like to do. Maybe planning isn’t your thing… Maybe you love it… Either way, what if you could do it…
Do you love birthdays or are they just another day for you? Growing up on the farm, birthdays weren’t really a big deal. As I’ve gotten older, I love celebrating them more and more! Mine was Tuesday… I’m now 2 days into the last year in my 50’s! Gotta love that… because life just keeps…
After a couple minor slow downs on the trip, we pulled into the resort, went to the room, and got changed for a dinner of dover sole (it’s fish… and if you’ve never had it, you’re truly missing out!) and some live jazz music. Ok, there might have been a couple appletini’s in there too……
Do you take time off throughout the year? I have a timeshare in Cocoa Beach, Florida. For one glorious week every year I go there and sit on the beach, eat good food, rest, have fun and for the last couple years have been blessed to have shared that time with my love. Can’t you…
How often do you completely unplug? No client calls… No email… No social media… No writing… No business books, podcasts, etc. Nothing related to business on your agenda for a week – or more! When was the last time you did that?I don’t do it as often as I should but when I do take…
We all make mistakes. We all have lapses in judgement. We all sometimes justify things and do things we don’t usually do… We all do things we know better than. I don’t know about you but when I justify and do something I typically don’t, it means I have to relearn a lesson again. In…
Do you ever think about your first time? NO… not that first time! Gotcha… I mean the first time you decided you were going to go into business for yourself… The first time you approached a prospect about doing business with you… Your first sales call… Your first website… The first time you attempted to…
I had the distinct honor of sharing the first birthday of a very special young boy this weekend. I love babies and kids in general. I often say, I’m good with kids and dogs… it’s the adults I sometimes have a challenge with. And I’m only half kidding! One of my favorite definitions of marketing…
