I can think of two clients off the top of my head who are on the verge of major success. In both cases the work is impeccable--one an author, the other an interior designer. Each has done everything humanly possible to get her message out to the public. They have...
While I was writing today's blog about collaboration, I went to my image resource for a photo of an iconic partnership--a couple photographed from behind with the sun beaming rays all around them, or something similarly inspiring. What I repeatedly found was...
After a Compo Beach walk Sunday morning with a coaching colleague who was struggling to define her perfect client, I saw this florescent tag sale sign en route home. It immediately grabbed my attention. It was bold, it said what it was offering and pointed where...
I walked the EWN Expo Monday night and felt the supercharged energy of the room as I strolled from vendor to vendor. The hotel meeting area was populated by women I've known, coached and socialized with, but this night was different. Here they were with their...
Here you see Liz Flavin, a business owner who participated in three of my mastermind groups over a period of a couple of years, looking radiantly beautiful and wearing her products--gratitude bangle bracelets and necklace. This image is scanned from the latest...
Fine Arts Photographer Donna Callighan and I go way back to early EWN (Entrepreneurial Woman's Network) days in the 90's when her shingle read "commercial photographer." I'm sure she did at least one of my head shots back then and definitely helped my success by...
I've attended several networking groups over the past few weeks and met lots of new people. It's especially good to get "out there" and interact with other folks who are also "out there." I have a hunch many people are hiding, not circulating and/or waiting for...
At Ridgeway School, my elementary alma mater, before public prayer was banned, we used to have a morning ritual where we bowed our heads and asked God (imagine that!) to give us clean hands, clean hearts and a clean mind. Further, we asked that we be able to...
While I'm not an advocate of doing business 24/7 or bringing your Blackberry to the lunch table, I do believe that you can operate from anywhere these days. The reason I mention this is that good friends of mine have been planning a trip to Florida this week. One...
There are two cool things for you to discover in this entry: Nancy Moon's creative business offer and her applause-winning description of the outcomes from our goal-setting work together. (Click here to get right to her video clip.) Because I surround myself with...
"I am committed to destroying the myth of the starving artist." When I read that quote in the NYTimes Sunday Business section in December, I knew I had to take action. I, also, am committed to seeing women (men, too!) thrive and prosper in their creative endeavors....
With tax season upon us I'm hearing several of my creative clientele, after seeing their bottom line for 2008, asking "Should I be looking for a job?" One of my most gifted clients (I'll refer to her as Sue--not her name) and I had this discussion early in the...
Remember this look? Different than my current one as reflected on this page. Three years ago I began the process of re-branding my business from Jane, The Artist/Jane, The Speaker to my current platform: Leading Remarkable Women to Uncommon Success. Shortly after I...
On Monday a coaching client mentioned feeling inadequate to put herself in front of high-end clientele . The next day I heard the same fear articulated by another woman I was coaching who also had that "less than" thing going on. Then, over lunch with a colleague...
For the past couple of weeks I've been talking about parties: my clients' --341 Studios--cooking party for their subcontractors, my thank you event for my clients and the idea that now is a great time to send out invitations and find something (anything!) to...
