There is a dark side to every positive personality trait. You may not even notice that you’ve gone out of balance with a value, even when it’s causing great pain in your life. \ I have high standards of integrity, especially when it comes to business. In the past, if I witnessed someone being dishonest or not
I never tire of stories of survival of any kind. I like to learn from them the values, beliefs and actions that supported them to come out of a crisis situation where it seemed the “odds” were against them.
I love a good game of “Truth or Dare.” It’s scary and yet thrilling. Daring my clients to do something they want, but are scared to do is a common practice. Sometimes, all you need is someone to ask you to step up to the plate, and you will. You need a little nudge … somebody to care enough about your desires a
It’s normal to put off things in life until you have the money to do them. But does it have to be that way? \ Absolutely not! \ Never wait until the money shows up or you’ll spend most of your time waiting. And while you wait, you’ll be thinking about the many things for which you are waiting.
It was almost time for me to be wheeled into the surgery room and the surgeon came to see if I had any questions. He got into the details of what was going to happen and my heart started pounding! I had a tumor in the palm of my right hand and he was going to make a larger incision than originally planned, so that he c
Have you ever stayed in a job, relationship or living situation for too long? I mean, you knew it was not your ideal situation and you stayed because you thought you could either make it work or you were too lazy or scared to move on. \ Is that a bad thing? Not really. \ But you may experience unnecessary pai
When you’re sick and tired of not getting important things done or not pulling in enough money, it’s time to play a game. Games have a specific outcome, structure, and rules by which to play. \ If you’re ready to stop feeling whiny in a super short time frame, play the “Yes, I Can” game. It’s simple bu
I’ve heard many tales of things gone wrong in a business, like… • Partners stealing • Outrageous debt • Employees that disappear when needed most • Stacks of bills and no new customers • Overwhelming amounts of work and not enough time to get it done • Computers crashing and
If you’re feeling like some area of your life isn’t moving forward fast enough, I urge you to just take a minute and try out the following process. \ Bring to mind the situation that feels stagnate or stressful. Identify what exactly isn’t working. Make sure to look at all aspects. What part are you respons
A confident mindset will make or break your dreams. Yet, sometimes action breeds confidence. So should you work on mindset or take action? \ I say both. (But never take action while in resistance unless the action is intentional to get you out of your funk). \ If you're familiar with my Speed Dial the Univers
“Build it and they will come.” \ What a crock! Total lie. \ I built a lot of things in my business that didn’t result in customers running to buy, readers commenting on my blog or even fans “liking” my Facebook page. \ Finally it dawned on me that I needed help getting the word out to my ideal
Over a decade ago, my professional organizer asked me why I kept my office supplies in the particular place they were sitting. I had no idea why I put them there. I never thought much about how my office was organized. The only things I cared about in my office were having the best equipment and pretty décor. (My fav
I’m a huge fan of American Idol. Some of the feedback from the judges is very uncoach-like and disempowering. However, they emphasize several points that I love, over and over to the contestants: * Play to win. Act like you want to beat the competition. * Be consistent with who you are being on stage. Kno
When you have a grand vision of your book hitting best seller status or the new product launch making thousands upon its release, self imposed pressure to ‘knock it out of the ballpark’ can be hazardous to your success. It can also be hazardous to your health. I’ve even seen how the stress can negatively impact t
I used to hate planning. Why plan, when you can just get into action? \ Fortunately, and unfortunately, playing that way got me to six figures in my business. I kept doing my business the only way I’d practiced up to that point… * Get an inspired idea. * Throw it out to my tribe. * Hope somethi
Even if you only have a few customers or clients, you're sitting on a goldmine. You just have to mine it. \ Don't have any clients? No worries, you have the ability to connect with potential fans simply by being intentional with how you interact on social media, blog posts, phone calls and meetings. \ Anywhe
Have you ever noticed that some of your friends who complain that money is tight, often seem to find money to buy a new car or some other toy that a broke person can’t afford? Or maybe you’ve experienced this phenomenon yourself. You’re stressed about expenses but you find a way to get the newest iPhone

Perfect solutions abound! \ First, pick the issue that you’d like to attract an ideal resolution. What are the elements needed to make up your perfect solution?
What happens in Greece is not staying in Greece. \ I’m back in the States after a week-long vacation with some of my dearest friends who also happen to be mastermind and joint venture partners. \ In between touring Athens and Delphi we sat around a huge villa overlooking the sea while we masterminded (brain
If you’ve ever had an issue getting rockstar results from the people you hire or partner with, you’re not alone. They show up late, miss deadlines, fall off the grid with no communication and do subpar work. Even some of the decent team players have their moments where they fall down on the job with no great excuse
What's the best way to attract massive prosperity? If you knew, you'd already be doing it right? \ You have the formula right under your nose and may not know it. \ The answer is similar to this riddle … \ Q: How do you eat an elephant? \ A. One bite at a time. \ The same is true for creating pr
\ My first kiss with my mate happened seconds before we jumped out of a perfectly good airplane at 14,000 feet above the earth. We met because of our love for skydiving. I’m a bit of an adventurer. \ Other things I’ve considered fun in the past… Skydiving and waterskiing on full moon nights Jum
Hi! Jeanna here… Yes, this can happen to you, too I remember the first year I tripled my income. My bookkeeper sent me my company report and there it was in black in white. Not only did I make a huge leap in profits, I had finally broke through the six figure ceiling. Woo hoo! It felt really good. The be
Most of us are running around with a long to-do list in our heads. Maybe you’re organized and have written yours down on paper or your computer. Action is important because without it, nothing would happen. But… are you leveraging your actions for maximum results? \ Even the most efficient people may
Even the most organized of us makes mistakes when focusing on desires. I would be one of those people (she says with her tail between her legs and head hung low!). \ After hitting all time highs in overhead last year, I noticed that I spent a lot of time shifting my energy about my new expense records. These past
My mom loves to cut out articles from magazines and newspapers that she knows may be of interest to me. She’s done it for decades. This week she gave me one about taking things off your to-do list. Of course, it immediately drew me in because I’m a huge advocate of having only a few things on your task list, so you
Most people get by with just enough money to pay their bills, splurge on a toy once in a while and take a yearly vacation. Many business owners want more than this but settle for less. They focus too much of their time on lame marketing and putting out fires.
When your main focus is on increasing profits and expanding the reach of your marketing it's incredibly easy to be taken down a dozen rabbit holes each day. There are so many marketing, leadership and small business experts giving abundant strategies to grow your business that it creates an obstacle course of to-dos fo
I’m one of those people who is either super happy, really at peace, having a blast or highly stressed. Whatever I do, I do it big. I’m not proud of it, it just is. I’m always a little surprised when I get wound up about something negative because in general I live knowing that all is well. Except when I forget.
It’s one thing to charge enough for your services and products but does that come with a trade off in your mind? \ Do you ask for the support your need from every person that could highly impact your success? \ Do you ask for enough days off? \ If people work for you, do you ask for quiet time and h
My two year-old son, Lucky, loves going to the park. Lately, we go to a park darn near every day that the weather permits. \ No matter how many times we go it’s always the same routine: • Head straight toward the slide • Find and pick up big sticks • Throw a ball if we brought one • Lo
The morning begins with grand visions of being able to cross off many of your most important action items by the day’s end. By noon you think that if you’re able to accomplish one thing off the list it’ll be a miracle. \ So many tasks, so little time. \ There are several strategies for accomplishing m
I was interviewed last week about how to generate more money in your business. A call-in guest asked, “What was your 'a-ha' moment that helped you triple your income in one year?” I responded in a way I never had before, “It was when I learned how important it was to live in the present moment.” \ I do al
When you set out with a goal of growing your business it’s usually fueled by a desire to make more money. Some of us are fueled by making a difference in the world with our products and services. I personally want to do both. No matter what motivates you to grow your biz, you will be forced to make decisions
I've been called a control freak, multitasker, goof ball, magnificent manifestor and just plain ole freak. I can relate to all of them. However, the one that really irritates me is when someone says I'm not very good at delegating. \ Why? Because I see how often it doesn't even occur to me to ask for help. I'm use
There are several circumstances that kick us into high gear. That gear where your mind says, “OH MY GOSH!!
When you look for a way out of any corner, the first thing you usually ask yourself is, “What do I need to do?” It’s an okay question to begin the process of moving into solution. But an even better question is, “What was I focusing on that led me into this corner?”
When your head spins with To-Do lists, your In Box is overflowing and your desk is cluttered with stuff that needs to be handled it can trigger a feeling that is anything but empowering.

Expecting to win at any endeavor is a successful attitude, one that will set you up for massively fabulous manifestations. But, too often, you may find yourself bracing yourself for the worst possible outcomes. Common thoughts that will drive you to prepare for the worst: * What if the contract falls t
Everyone tries to make their freebie sound like it’s going to rock your world. You enter your email address into their form in hopes of getting some life changing info, only to feel like you wasted your time after you get the audio, video, eBook or report. \ It’s time to razzle and dazzle your peeps with some
I used to HATE marketing. In fact, I used to use four letter words in front of the word "marketing" when I thought about doing it. I just wanted coaching clients, why did I have to do this torturous act? So, I stopped marketing. My joy raised and my stress went down, down, down. \ My epiphany came when my good f
Regardless of what you think, you need to be a leader. That means everyone: solopreneurs and employees, too. And no matter what stage you find your business in, start thinking of yourself as a leader if you want to see increased profits. Each of you is a 'leader of self;' the leader of your position or your bus
I think most people will agree that keeping your word is a good thing. I know that when someone tells me they are going to do something that will positively impact me in some way, I want them to follow through. \ Yet, the flip side of this value of integrity can take you into a tailspin. I’ve spent many a coachi
The experts say, “Raise your prices. Slash your prices. Follow this model. Give it away for free. Jack up your price and then put in on sale or give huge commissions to those selling it.” When you’re a heart-centered CEO you want your customers to feel like they received great value from your products an
I was recently asked by an entrepreneur in the Mastermind group I coach, "How do you work 24 hours a week and be successful?" I thought that was a great question and one that requires honesty. \ When I originally claimed a 3-day workweek for myself, I didn't have kids. I scheduled all my appointments on Tuesday,
If you’re a deliberate creator on any level, you know that your thoughts and emotions produce the results you experience in your life. Yes, you create it all. And often you co-create with the many people that surround you. Consciously making choices in your business to use the Law of Attraction to help you d
I’ve always thought everyone is a little weird, or at least everyone has a weird quirk or two. I owned up to my weirdness long ago. If you don’t believe me ask my high school classmates about my white and green striped jumpsuit or my giant 85 dangle earrings. You may think that being weird is fine when
Let me start off by acknowledging that I have been flat broke before. Not just once or twice. I have had those times where I was completely stressed about how I was going to pay for the bills sitting in my payables files that were due two days ago (in some cases very past due!) I have also had ...
Everybody wants to know how they can get on track. They want alignment with their business, health, money and relationship goals. I've heard more than once, \"Is there a magic pill I can take to get instant results?\" There is a way to turn things around fast, although most folks believe it has to do with some magic st
I was never a fan of the Star Wars movies when they first came out. I didn't get what all the hype was about…until a decade ago. A friend told me I had to watch all of them, because I would become a fan. He was right. It was actually the character of Yoda I fell in love with and his lessons about "The Force".
