Entrepreneurs: Change Your Mindset to Achieve Success

As an entrepreneur, there are soooo many things to learn, aren't there? Skills are pretty easy to gain: you can search on YouTube, purchase training programs or hire someone to do it for you. Perhaps not so easy though is believing in yourself and your business, overcoming your fears and lack of confidence, or pushing through challenging times when your mindset seems to be enemy number one. Fears, limiting beliefs, negativity, and insecurities can all slow you down or even prevent you from achieving your goals.

Small Actions Add Up to Success

Here we are, already into the new year, can you believe it? How's it going for you? The New Year is infused with a monumental surge of energy; you'd have to be stuck in a cave somewhere to miss it. People far and wide publicly declare their intentions, goals, and desires for the upcoming year. It can be exciting, or it can be overwhelming. Perhaps you haven't done your goal declaring; maybe you're just trying to get into the swing of this new year. Or perhaps you've planned out your calendar to the T and are moving forward like a freight train.

The What, Why, and How of Your Core Business Message

What IS a core message anyway? You're told you need one (true). You're told without it your business will suffer (also true). You're pretty much given a mandate to get one. A core message, that is. But WHAT is it really?

Why Are You in Business?

Is this familiar ... Here you are, working on your business, just like you do every day. Oh, wait a minute. I see that you're reading email right now. You have so much to do today, but somehow, here you are, reading email ... again. I know, I know. You intend to get some seriously good stuff done today. You'll get to it. Right? But it feels kinda hard to get started. There are so many projects to work on for your business and not enough time.

The Key To Fearless Self-Promotion

What happens when you leave a potted plant unwatered? Does it thrive? Not hardly. That poor thing becomes the next fire's kindling. Your business without self-promotion is that plant without water; it will die. We all know this; it's no secret, but hoards of people feel as though self-promotion is a light breeze away from sending you into the land of boasting and bragging. However, if you don’t share what you know then you can't have a thriving business.

Is Sending a Newsletter a Waste of Your Time, Energy and Money?

Is sending out a regular newsletter (and email marketing in general,) a waste of your time? Even though social media and text messages have become a daily habit, the fact remains that email marketing – including a business newsletter – remains one of the most effective and cost-efficient marketing methods for entrepreneurs. "If I had to put a figure on the impact email marketing has had on our bottom line, it would be in the several millions of dollars." - Mark Harbottle, Co-Founder & CEO of SitePoint

How to Be An Imperfectly Perfect Leader

It's no secret, people like to be inspired, they want to hear advice from experts, and they crave guidance from those more successful than they, but they also connect to authenticity, and like knowing that you're a human being who experiences the ups and downs of life too. They want you to... Be tangible. Be accessible. But also position yourself as a... Leader and solution slinger. Indefatigable guide with all the answers. Wait, what? How do you do that?

Think Big and Act Boldly to Expand Your Business

Did you know that business owners who have a BIG vision and BIG goals are more likely to succeed in expanding their business? There is data to support the value of setting high goals for yourself in business. And that's exciting! Why? Because I believe that most of us as entrepreneurs DID have a big vision for ourselves and our business... when we started. That big vision can begin to fade pretty quickly without some nurturing, it's true. But I believe it's there and you can get it back.

The Art of Effective Listening

You work with people, every business does. In fact there is not a single enterprise that does not depend on the contribution of people, but so few truly listen to their clients, their customers, the people they serve - the very people who keep them afloat. So many people are conce ed with their own outcome that they fail to hear the wants and needs of their audience. But were they to listen, the rewards would astound them. It's a bit of a paradigm, the more you focus on serving others with your business, the better your business gets.

Learning To Receive: Money, Clients, Success, and Fulfillment

Repeat after me, I lovingly receive. Most of us spend the majority of our time building, creating, and dare I say pushing for results. We forget the power of giving ourselves the time and space to receive. Some of us never learned how. Think of the tides, their natural cycle is rise and fall, in and out. They rhythmically touch the shores of the world. We would do well to mirror their behavior in our own lives. But somewhere along the way, the quiet and gracious act of reception has been mostly lost.

Can You Flow With the Stressful Times?

Stress happens. Sometimes you just can't avoid a stressful day or week (or longer period) in your life. Stress happens despite the best of plans. Stress happens because it's part of life. We're bombarded with stress-reduction advice. Yes, we're bombarded with messages from all sides telling us to eliminate or reduce stress in our lives. Yes, yes. That's a great goal. And, yes, I'm a proponent. But what about the day-to-day stuff that just crops up? Or the ongoing stress of life that just IS? I mean, stuff happens, right?

The Secret of Happiness

Are you holding your breath, hoping I'll reveal something that you don't already know? Or maybe you're pretty sure that whatever I have to say won't be new, but you're curious to know just what "secret" I'm going to reveal? Well, no matter. Here's the scoop on the secret to happiness. Recently I attended a presentation at my local library and that was the title – The Secret of Happiness. The presenter was a young woman named Kelsang Kunshe. She’s a Kadampa Buddhist nun with a melodic voice, calming presence, and beautiful smile. Did she reveal some new secret to happiness?

Use Meditation to Grow Your Business

Countless studies show the positive effects of meditation on your life. Then why, I ask, do so few practice it on a daily basis? Meditation balances your physical, emotional, and mental states. It allows your body to de-stress, and if done in the morning, sets a focused, peaceful tone for your day. Wouldn't you love peace and joy to be the baseline and foundation of your every day? Yes, I know - me too! The results are unparalleled. So why doesn't everyone meditate? I think the reason is twofold:

How Do You Become an Olympic Entrepreneur?

If you've ever watched any of the Olympics, you saw plenty of high-caliber, legends-in-the-making athletes. So how DO you become an Olympic legend - or in our case, an Olympic entrepreneur? I think it all begins and ends with your choices. In fact, it really boils down to making consistent choices. Period. Oh, alright, I'll concede that there is a lot involved in becoming a Gold medalist or an Olympic legend. But you have to admit that it all revolves around consistent choices.

What Is a Business Coach?

Have you seen a boxing match, or maybe you remember the movie Rocky? You know how the boxer always has a guy in the corner with him to towel him down, shoot water in his mouth, stop the bleeding, and give him tips on how to perform better out in the ring? That guy? He's your business coach. You're the boxer. See, we're all out there dancing around, in the thick of things, and it's crucial to have someone in our corner giving us support and advice. Every boxer has a guy in his corner. Every elite athlete has a coach.

Jealousy Can Help You Succeed

Have you seen all the hype lately? And is it triggering you just a teeny tiny bit? Have you gotten an email from some online entrepreneur about their brand new crazy-successful oh-so-irresistible program and thought to yourself, "What?! I could do that just as well as them – or even better!" (And then, Why didn't *I* think of that?) Maybe you've heard about someone who's sold 10 spots at $10k a pop for their "go on a retreat with me to an exotic locale" and your head just about spins with the thought of it.

Build Your Business by Nurturing Your Creative Side

As the caretaker of your business, it's up to you to feed it new ideas and fresh insights. But sometimes it feels like your well has run dry, and finding an inspiring idea is more difficult than squeezing water from a rock. Which is why it's imperative to your mental health and the success of your business to cultivate, nurture, and foster your creative side before you arrive at that exasperated state.

Delegation: The Secret Sauce to a Successful Business

You're at a point in your business where the majority of the day-to-day work falls to you, and it's rare that you assign tasks to someone else. Maybe there is no one else to assign tasks to. You realize you're holding yourself back from expanding to the next level, but delegating feels like an insurmountable task. Here's the truth, you ARE holding yourself back. Let me ask you this. Do you think Oprah reads and responds to every email? Do you think Ali Brown manages her social media? Do you think Tony Robbins does his own books from start to finish?

Redefining Prosperity

"The economy is in a slump." "People aren't spending money on services." You hear this, and more, every day. Sigh. No wonder entrepreneurs lose sleep worrying about their financial future. It can make you crazy, can't it? But is this the only way to think? Do we need to 'buy into' the pessimistic view? I hope not. In fact, I know we don't have to! Let's redefine prosperity so that it encompasses even more than what's in our bank accounts. Sound good? Let's go!

You may have read it and thought, yeah that's nice, but Margie things are great and I'm growing at a steady clip. Fantastic!

Dare to be Your Authentic Self and You Will be Successful

Have you ever noticed how young children say what they think? They tend to speak up and show us their real selves. They haven't been conditioned otherwise – at least not at that point. But, ultimately, what have we learned as we're growing up? To hide away our real selves in order to be liked by as many people as possible. To hide away our feelings and opinions and passions for fear that someone else will disapprove.

Stuff Won't Make You Happy

Too much "stuff" never brings us happiness. It actually weighs us down. It keeps us stuck. Rooted right where we are. If you feel really stuck, really weighed down, I suggest that you look around your home. Do you have "stuff" everywhere you look? Are your cabinets and closets and drawers full? Are your counter tops and tables holding piles of stuff? If so, it may be that you're keeping yourself tied down. The energy to move -the energy to flow- is stagnant. You feel stagnant.

How to Find Your Niche

How often do you come across someone who immediately knows what their niche is? Not so surprisingly, most are confused about such a topic. First off, a niche is well defined as something that is best fitted to your personal interests and passions. Your passion may be to explore Egyptian ruins, or to devote your free time to restoring antique furniture; or perhaps you pride yourself on your knowledge of fine wines. Whatever comes to mind as something you're passionate enough to say you live for, that's your niche, regardless of whether or not anyone else understands it.

How to Cultivate Energy, Focus and Freedom in Your Business

Self-care and business success are like wind and a sailboat – individually they're all right, but together they make magic. You can have a moderately successful business and run yourself into the ground doing it. Or you can have a wildly successful business by taking care of yourself as you build and work on it. As your business excels, self-care will become more of an easy practice which leads to better business. It's a worthwhile cycle to get started. Oh yeah.

How To Become The Person You Want To Be

I've got a bit of news for you. That version of you, the previous one, the one you keep referencing, is old news. If you're spending time reminiscing about who you were before, identifying with that version of yourself, then you are seriously limiting who you can become. Who you were and what you did last year, last decade, or even last night is no more. Often we draw from our past to describe ourselves in the present, when that might not be who we are today, or more importantly who we want to be today.
