Fun Fact: this video is a great example of lesson #3, because I got it right in the first take! (coaches are SO easy to talk to!)

Working through all the feelings, I recorded this to capture some of the lessons I’m learning. Please forgive the meandering (my state of mind is not as incisive as usual) and the less-than stellar quality of the video… but I promise there are some important nuggets in here.

At the end of the year, all I hear about is closing the year strong and creating a mind-blowing plan for 2024.
It is so much pressure, and I was starting to crack from the stress of it all. Here’s a 90 second tip where I share what I did to release the pressure fast!

Before asking yourself these questions…
Block out at least 90 minutes in your schedule.
Away from email.
Away from your phone.
Away from tiny humans.
Ask yourself these questions to wrap up the last months of of the year successfully, and start 2024 strong.
1. What am I allowing to distract me from my core purpose and goals? (be honest)
2. Am I being intentional with the time I invest in my business relationships?
3. What’s my strategy to reclaim that distracted time and reinvest it to get better results?
Answer these questions honestly and you’ll find yourself on the right track towards ending 2023 strong and starting a successful 2024.
Feeling a little overwhelmed?

September is here!
Now, is that exciting or terrifying? 😖
It seems like just yesterday we were packing up our beach towels and sunscreen for the season. ⛱️
But now, it’s time to start thinking about fall.
For some of us, that might mean getting back into the swing of things after a lazy summer.
But for others, it might mean the start of new beginnings, like launching a new project or trying out new strategies to end 2023 strong.
No matter what you’re up to this fall, I want to encourage you to stay motivated and inspired so you can achieve your goals. Here are a few tips:
▪️ Celebrate your successes 🥳 When you reach a goal, take some time to celebrate your success. This will help you stay motivated and on track.
▪️ Nurture your relationships 👥 Reaching out to people is not only great for staying motivated and accountable, it can also nurture your business through referrals! The fastest way to create a steady stream of referrals is to nurture relationships with Centers of Influence. Here’s a resource to give you clarity about who your Centers of Influence are and how to nurture them.👀
▪️ Take care of yourself 😌 Make sure you’re getting enough sleep, eating healthy, and exercising regularly. When you’re taking care of yourself, you’ll have more energy and focus to achieve your goals!
I know that the fall can be a busy time, but I hope you’ll take some time for yourself to enjoy the season.
PLEASE – take time to recharge so the fall season produces great results and you start 2024 STRONG! 💙

I received this message on LinkedIn about speaking opportunities where the speakers actually pay to get on stage. While not always a bad option, here are a few key things to keep in mind:
1. You will NOT be the only speaker paying for their spot on stage. Which means you not only have to sell from stage in order to get a positive return on investment, you have to sell better than all the other speakers.
2. If you choose to do this, make sure that the audience is absolutely 100% packed with your ideal clients AND that the audience is big enough to make it worth your while. I had one very unfortunate experience where the audience consisted almost entirely of all the other speakers. Ugh.
3. These opportunities are most tempting when you don’t have any other opportunities on your calendar. Here’s some insurance against making sure your speaking calendar is never empty.
