I heard a friend quoting Dr. Phil this morning. She said he said that we teach people how to treat us. I offered my recollection that it was Eleanor Roosevelt who got there first with that wisdom. Which led me, once back in my office, to a search of quotes by...
I received a beautiful invitation in the mail last month for an event I'll be attending tomorrow night, March 31. The pink sticky note on the outside of it was from Linda Hunt, a current client in my Mastermind Group. It read, "Jane, this is a wonderful event I...
At what point do you quit the chase? I deposited a check without an envelope in early March via the automatic device that scans them and produces an image of the deposited entry. The $20 check was a Western Union money order and was read by the scanner as $200....
While I did skip a few classes at InfusionCon, I made sure to be in a front row seat for Brian Tracy's afternoon keynote on Wednesday. He's a hero of mine. I listened to his audio programs (on tape!) repeatedly when I was sitting in my art studio for hours on end...
I'm in Phoenix, AZ attending InfusionCon, the conference for users of Infusionsoft.com programming. There's a very sophisticated, tech-savvy population of marketers here who seem to be using the program phenomenally well judging by the enthusiasm level and results...
In my WBDC Fast Trac Growth Venture course this past Saturday the discussion focused on what market segment brings in the most revenue. One student's report carefully illustrated how eight customers brought in the bulk of their company's revenues. Most people in...
Lots of thoughts streamed through my head as I put together folders for my newest Mastermind Group that started Wednesday night. I got a kick out of how my marketing materials have evolved over the years. I love how I'm able to put a branded label through my...
During the final session of my winter Mastermind Group, I had participants close their eyes as I read three visualizations. We then debriefed each woman's to establish a Life Purpose statement. Here's what happened with Harriette Trevino, co-owner of Bull's Head...
I hate negativity. I attended a lunch meeting last week with people I'd never met before. There was an informational component to the event, then Q+A and discussion among the participants. In my mind, it quickly devolved into an ain't-it-awful session on the woes...
What kind of kid were you? How did you build the confidence to find your bliss? Are people a part of your bliss? Who were your mentors or inspirations? Do you have a guiding philosophy? These are some of the preparatory questions Lauren Agnelli, the creator and...
My intention was to blog from the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica where I spent a week last month. But the Universe had other plans, which it gently, then forcibly applied. Since I'm an early riser, I thought I'd post a blog or two during my stay before the morning...
I'm going on vacation soon. As I get ready, I realize how important it is to schedule time off. I had no idea what kind of a winter we'd be having back in October when I scheduled a trip south for February. Now that the date has arrived, I couldn't be happier. But,...
A colleague recently shared her young assistant's admiration. "You have it so together," the 20-something cooed. If only she knew, my friend thought to herself. Her second thought was, I'm glad I'm projecting that image. As a coach and active networker, I'm privy...
Leigh Scott attended my Create Your Own Future retreat three year ago this month. During that event, we had a Come As You'll Be activity projecting forward five years from the present. That night Leigh presented herself as the successful author of a book on...
Many clients approach me with the decision to write a book. Kristin is the only one in my memory who got the job done within the exact targeted time she had scheduled--copy in hand! This is a remarkable, and I have to add fearless, achievement. There are so many...
