Meet Remarkable Women

Lilli Weisz and Evernote – A Powerful Duo

I invited Lilli, an organizational expert, to address the women of my Mastermind Intensive yesterday. She focused her talk on Evernote, an online application which 50 million people, other than me, have found useful. Count me in now--50,000,001--since her demo and...

Spiritual Vandalism

I'm excited to announce that I've been invited as a guest speaker on a cruise this November. This has long been a goal of mine--to vacation and work at the same time, which I encourage every lifestyle entrepreneur to do as well--figure out ways to incorporate your...

End of Week 2 LinkedIn Challenge

Today I joined a group, responded to correspondence I've received, and commented on a couple of posts. Mainly, I'm giving myself permission to take my time, to get familiar with the visual aspects of LinkedIn and to allow the medium to follow its course. The number...

Jen Olbrys Said It So Well

The newest member of my Mastermind Intensive, Jen Olbrys, had been my assistant for the last six months when a space in the group opened up. One of our members received the job opportunity of a lifetime which required an out-of-state move. Jen has also been our...

LinkedIn Progress

I've now clocked 6+ hours on LinkedIn and am looking for ways to challenge myself and go deeper (suggestions welcome). I created a subgroup of Connectors - 259 people from my connections (out of close to 800) who have 500+ connections themselves. I am deducing that...

LinkedIn Progress

I put in my second hour this week towards my committed 3 hours a week dedicated to working LinkedIn. What's different now than ever before is my attitude. I really want to do this. It's no longer, "I know I should..." I want to! I created a folder in Outlook for...

LinkedIn Challenge Day 1

As promised, I devoted over an hour today to working my LinkedIn network. First I answered the questions that popped up when I went to my profile, which took about 10 minutes. My profile is complete.  I'm happy with it and ready to move on from this starting point....

Kay Koplovitz vs. Bowie Kuhn. Who Would You Pick?

I take notes at most events I attend, mining for gold to pass onto you, and also because I immediately forget so much of what I hear! When I transcribe these words, I highlight what I found most important and save it in a document. Last week's Women's Summit...

We All Need Feedback

I started my Soul Proprietor Coaching Program on February 1, have held two sessions with the entire community and two group coaching sessions so far. There's buzz going on in our private Facebook area and comments being posted as our members begin to take on the...

Sometimes You Don’t Even Have to Ask for a Sign

I concluded my Soul Proprietor Community call on Friday by giving the group the homework assignment to read (or listen to) the legendary Acres of Diamonds story first popularized by Russell Conwell a hundred years ago. Every time I hear that true account, I'm...

How To Be A Good Goal Buddy

I've had accountability partners, aka goal buddies, for years. It's what keeps me on track on a daily basis. I also have a Mastermind group that I've been part of for a couple of decades. That's a monthly accountability structure for the bigger things I want to...

Want to Know How You’re Doing?

I feel so lucky to do what I do. Every day I interact with women business owners who share intimately with me and in the groups I lead. Running a business is a vulnerable and courageous commitment to self-actualization. It's a statement that you believe that...

Take Time to Improve Your Systems

I'll never forget my daughter Laura's pride in her accomplishment when she announced to our family that she had spent the afternoon getting her bookshelves organized in her room. I think she was all of 8 years old at the time. My expectation was that they would be...

I Agree With Brian Bish

Social Media Architect Brian Bish addressed my Mastermind Intensive on Friday about the why's and wherefore's of social media. It was a convincing talk, and I'm seeing a good deal of activity among our members as a result. Brian talked about the credibility of a...

When Life Intervenes

I was signed up to march across the Brooklyn Bridge yesterday morning as a sign of solidarity with the V-Day events going on around the world. I'd met the organizer of this particular project, Miranda Leigh, at the Omega Women & Power conference I attended last...
