This video made me cry and feel hopeful.
To see a corporation do something so powerful, so good, so unifying – it left me speechless.
My questions are:
Is transformational marketing limited to big corporations with big budgets, or can small businesses with small budgets do it also?
And how?
Just went for a bike ride and it was AWESOME. 
I biked up a big hill, barely making it to the top. I enjoyed the view and, while biking down the hill, took my time so I wouldn’t feel as though I was at risk of breaking my neck. I rode by a huge nursery I’d never noticed before, and even caught a glimpse of a bunny rabbit hopping across the road.
I felt so strong and capable and happy. So different from another recent bike ride where I felt weak, frustrated, and exhausted.
What was the difference? Comparison.
You see, on my energizing ride, I was on my own, creating my own experience based on my own strengths and goals.
The frustrating ride? I was riding with someone else with totally different strengths and goals. I compared myself to them the whole time, trying to keep up and feeling like I was falling short the entire time.
Think of it – two nearly identical bike rides, but one felt like a success and one felt like a failure. Comparing myself to someone else changed my entire experience.
If you’re feeling frustrated, I encourage you to check in with yourself, and see if any comparing is going on. Trust your abilities, forge your unique path to success, and enjoy the ride!
I have a really simple tip for the week. It’s such a little thing that I almost decided not to share it. But I’m noticing that it is precisely these little things – the tiny habits & fears – that get overlooked, and they keep us stuck.
During the Clarity Sessions I do for prospective clients, I always ask about income goals. They invariably answer that they’d like to make a six figure income. Or $50,000 per year. Or $250,000 per year.
Then I ask about their current income. And they answer $2,000 per month. Or $1,500 per month. Or $4,000 per month.
Do you see the disconnect? The goal is a yearly number, and the current income is a monthly one.
So here is the tip of the week, and it is ridiculously simple: Think of your current income and your goal income in the same time frames. Get your thinking in alignment, and you make it easier for the money to follow.
