Write What You Want to Read
My nephew Noah Collins is a singer/songwriter. Years ago, he told me the reason he started writing music was because he wanted to write songs he liked to listen to.
Many authors write books for the same reason. At the risk of sounding a bit narcissistic, I enjoy reading my own books, especially the fiction ones. By the time I finish writing the book, the characters have become my friends. They are real to me. Who doesn’t love visiting old friends every now and again? For me there’s a double r...

Ready to Impact Lives for Good in a Bigger Way?
You have a message, method or system inside you that can literally transform lives. What you know can completely shift the way people think. When you put that message into a compelling, engaging book, your legacy lives on forever. Your impact ripples into infinity!
If writing a book is on your list for 2013, I want you to know something… not all books are created equal. Books that engage and compel people to share them take special crafting. And it’s not about being a wordsmith or having perfe...

Why the Phoenix Rises from the Ashes
As you may know, I blew up my 6 figure business in the fall of 2012 and started over. Yes, it was a leap of faith, but I knew I needed to more fully follow my passion to assist Light Bearers. What you may not know is I didn’t have a clear idea of what my new path would look like. I had an end goal, a picture in my mind of who I wanted to be, what I wanted to be doing, and the type of relationships that would be in my life as I did them. But HOW I was going to get there wasn’t cl...

What Is Freedom?
What’s your definition of Freedom? For me, freedom means:
The ability to express my brilliance in the world – to have the space, opportunity and time to perfect it, package it, and deliver it to the world in a way that they want to receive it and are happy to compensate me for it. Freedom means the people who need what I have and see the value in it may exchange something of equal value for what I give them.
Freedom means this transaction isn’t forced, coerced or manipulated in an...

How to Find Lucrative Collaborative Partnerships
One of the best ways to build your business is through joint ventures, cross-promotion and collaboration. While you’re greatly benefiting from this type of leverage and exposure, there still is time and money involved. If your staff or virtual assistants are coordinating your joint ventures, sending out emails, tweeting, Facebooking, etc, there are real financial expenses associated with collaborations. If you’re doing it all yourself, you know firsthand how much time and energy...

Just How Brave Are You?
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spe...

The Art of Connecting with Your Audience
Yesterday was the final call for my Finding Your Wow: Niche Mastery System, and what a rewarding experience it was! This call brought the whole course together and gave each participant 10 minutes to share. It was so beautiful to hear them masterfully weave their stories and hearts’ messages! WOW! I can’t tell you how many times my eyes welled with tears or the goosebumps rose on my arms as these women connected heart-to-heart.
Even though I know the power of story, I sat in awe...

How this Creative Stays Focused and Gets Things Done
Question from Client: You are a Potential Empathy, so what makes it possible for you to get so much done…or should I say stay focused? Is it because you are in familiar territory?
Short answer: I decide and decide quickly! People flounder when they’ve made anything other than a 100% decision. I decide 100% and start moving forward. As Kristin Sweeting Morelli says,
The antidote to overwhelm and confusion is to pick a horse and ride it. You’re never going to pick a perfect horse,...
