Forgive me . . . Yes, I did miss a week of news. I was a bit buried in boxes from finally getting closed (YAHOO!) and embracing my own Independence Day. This move marks my freedom from the hectic city pace, unbreathable air, endless traffic congestion, and distracting noise pollution.
Dreams do come true! I’m finally into my divine mountain retreat in Highlands, NC. This is something I have been imagining for five years but only truly decided to act on in the last 6 months. Wow! As I’ve always said, what you think about expands and what you focus on becomes reality. Despite the hiccups at closing and temporary homelessness, I am now enjoying cool summer breezes, blissful quiet, birds singing, and the burbling of a creek nearby instead of major freight trains and MARTA rocking my house! I’m in Atlanta almost weekly and staying with very generous and hospitable clients until I close on my Atlanta condo in the Fall.
Making more money, yes you can! I just did a presentation at America’s Mart here in Atlanta on Lifestyle Selling: Making More With Less – The Manual. It was a huge hit! I sold out of manuals detailing the entire program and each participant gets 30 minutes of complimentary business building mentoring with that. I’m excited as I could see the “aha moments” on the faces of attendees and know that they will soon be creating their own economy despite the media reports. You can do it too! Whether you are a design professional, a retailer, or a manufacturer, this unique program provides techniques, tips, secrets, and insights into exploding your revenues by working smarter not harder.
Mentoring NOT coaching! I’ve shifted gears a bit because I realized that there is a coach on every corner and I simply don’t offer the “typical” hold your hand, play footsy coaching. Instead I offer a more direct approach that combines consulting with coaching; you get answers not just questions and real time accountability to rocket your results to the top. I found that with the right mentoring I’ve been able to achieve more in 90 days than I did in the previous three years, but too often “coaching” is too slow paced, without the kick in the pants we all need to really make progress. Mentoring is the magic I choose to create for clients to allow them to achieve maximum results in minimum time and stay on track to continue achieving those results. Try it!
