Philanthropy & Authentic Marketing

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give”, a quote from Winston Churchill. It’s the basis for the podcast today. Authentic Marketing is here to stay and it’s and philanthropy should be an integral part of your small business promoting.

I’m sure you have noticed…it’s easy to get caught up in the game and the idea of making money. I believe Winston Churchill had it right. Giving is where you receive the biggest return on your investment. In this week’s podcast, I’m talking to Sharon Bothelow, Executive Director of Carson’s Crusaders. Listen as she and I discuss the vision and mission of her organization AND the value of Philanthropy & Authentic Marketing.

BE PHILANTHROPIC! Here are two great organizations. Connect your business today!

How to Parlay Career Experience Into Startup Value

What can I say… She’s my mom! This is the funniest podcast I’ve done to date. I told her not to do that “Professional voice”, but it didn’t work…lol!

My mom is a force to be reckoned with and she has proven her value over and over again to everyone around her. She recently retired but wasn’t down for the count. She decided to share her extraordinary talents with the masses by starting her own business, DocuDeb.

Mindset, The TRUE Path To The New You In The New Year

I don’t know about you, but EVERY year I hear the catch phrase – “New Year, New You”. You know what we say…”Start fresh”, “reinvent yourself”, “get started”, “begin again”.

The challenge isn’t with the START. It’s with the finish. It’s hard to stick to the changes required after “the start”, am I right?

In this episode of P. B. and Style, I’m having a real conversation with TWO TIME WOMEN’S WORLD BODY BUILDING CHAMPION, Monica Steiner of Lifestyle Solutions.

In it, we’re discussing MINDSET. It’s the TRUE path to the “New You” of the New Year.

If you’re ready for a MINDSET change and want to do something different to get a different result, you need my Hwy 8 video series. It’s eight VERY important questions to ask yourself when you’re ready to travel the road to your inner influencer. Get this new year started with a new mindset!

2018: My Lessons Learned

The year has come to an end. We’re in the month of December awaiting Christmas and the New Year.

Throughout the year, I’ve met so many wonderful people. I’ve worked with enthusiastic clients and some.. not so much, but it was, BY FAR, one of the most productive, positive, promising years in a long time.

When I look back at HOW things happened , WHY experiences were so positive, and WHAT makes me feel like there is so much more on the horizon.. I have to think about the lessons I learned and how a recent series of podcasts (The “G-Suites”).

This podcast is all about those lessons and how the conversations with my guests helped shape the renewed spirit of excitement I have for the coming year.

I’m leaving the links for each episode of the “G-Suite” Series below so you can enjoy them over the holiday. Please leave your comments and share what you’ve learned this year and how you plan to implement those lessons in 2019.

The Gift Of A Perfect Pitch

This week has been busy, but productive.. I hope you are all ending the week feeling productive as well. I spent my time under an umbrella of CONFIRMATION and it was golden. Have you ever had one of those weeks where the stars align and though you don’t see the conversions YET, you know they are on their way because you’ve had nothing but signs and arrows pointing to them.

I have recently been on a quest to take back the control of my calendar, my product development, and my focus. I have to thank Jordan Paige and Amy Landino for their eye opening (the truth is.. they just said it in a way that I actually heard it) content. Jordan helped me with the block scheduling and meal planning, Amy helped me with the getting up and having a great morning routine that includes the BRAIN DUMP/Journaling.

Now.. let me tell you about how the confirmation came about…

I knew something had to give with my schedule because I’ve been telling people I feel like a DUCK! Cool and calm on the surface but paddling like a crazy person under water. Jordan actually said those exact words in her block scheduling video. That’s what made me stop and watch. If you have been struggling with your schedule, doing too much for others and on their time… GET CONTROL OF YOUR CALENDAR…BOO!
I recognized meal planning for my family was imperative if I was going to get my calendar under control and it just so happened, Jordan had a plan for that as well AND it saves you money. When you’re in tune with yourself and what you need to create circumstances of optimal success, you know when enough is enough. THAT’S WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO GET A DIFFERENT RESULT.
When you can’t find the time to add to your schedule at the END of the day, you have to make more time at the BEGINNING of your day. Amy helped me with the creation of an actual PLAN of action for my morning that resulted in consistency in my morning routine AND accountability partners that keep me getting up Monday – Friday at 5:40 AM. I love it! I get SO MUCH DONE now… What’s most important about this is… I now have time FOR ME!! I get up and have prayer time, devotion time, and journal writing time. I actually created a very special group and every morning at 6 AM, I’m sharing my first thoughts with others and in return, I’m getting encouragement, inspiration, and more. This was confirmation that I needed to get back to putting ME first!

Now.. out of all this, came a new episode of Be the Brand TV about using the value you have and confidently sharing it in a concise way while networking. It’s called, “My 3-2-1 Formula for the Perfect 30 Second Pitch”. As you watch it, ask yourself… “How easy would it be to create the perfect 30 second pitch if I had a great morning routine AND had control of the rest of my day as well?”

The Invitation, Rosalind Booker Talks Daily Devotions

This week I was intrigued by the number of people approaching Rosalind Booker this week at our local chamber meeting. A couple of weeks ago, she introduced her new project… The Invitation: My Daily Devotional. It’s a 52 week daily devotional.

After the 2nd person came up talking about how wonderful the book was for their daily devotion and how helpful it had been for them, I just had to know more. Believe me when I tell you, this podcast could quite possibly be THE thing that kicks your business into high gear in 2019!

Is It Time To Pivot To A Startup?

BECOME A STARTUP

Is It Time To Pivot To A Startup from your corporate life? The word on the street is… we have to be ALL IN with the decision to transition from career to entrepreneurship. Does that seem scary to you? It did me! Jumping off a cliff with no safety net isn’t exactly an appealing thought, but I’ve got you.

In this blog post, I have a great video with my friend Miriam Marsh and I share a few of my own personal branding STARTUP tips. Be sure to read to the end, I’ve got a few OFFERS & GIFTS to help!

TIP #1: Map it out

The scariest thing to me when starting on a new journey is the UNKNOWN. I’m not a detailed person by nature. I am a CREATIVE. I’m the girl to come to for IDEAS, CREATIVITY, etc. I don’t like being bogged down by details so I enlist the help of more qualified people. I do a ton of research and planning, but for the most part.. I rely on others to do the heavy lifting (can I get an AMEN?)

I know this about myself because I have taken the time to learn myself and find my value. I also know that when I start something new, I need to map out the steps to get me there. This keeps me on task and helps me re-center when necessary.

TIP #2: Where Blinders

We are NOSY BY NATURE. We want to know what other people have done to grow their business and then try to do the same thing. Well I’m sorry to tell you, that’s not quite true. Your business is YOUR business. You have to put your blinders on and focus on the value YOU bring to the table. I call it creating your own Circumstances for Optimal Success. I like this because it minimizes the ugly comparison game we tend to play with others.

TIP #3: Suffer for Success

Okay, this isn’t what you think it is. What I mean is…. Do the hard work to give yourself more time in your day. I recently started researching the habits of highly successful people and a thread that continues to run through my research is: Successful people get up early. In this article the NUMBER ONE THING LISTED SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DO IS GET UP EARLY.

Do you see what I mean by SUFFER for SUCCESS? While “getting up early’ is relative, it’s still difficult for me. I will tell you this… since I’ve been intentional about when I start my day, my productivity has skyrocketed!

If you’re anything like me, the mere thought of setting an alarm clock for 5:30am is CRAZY!!! The truth is, some successful people get up EVEN EARLIER (craaazzzyyy!!!). I believe the key to training yourself for this habit is to:

Reverse engineer your day and start with enough time to get things done in the time you’ve allotted for yourself.
Take your time to adjust (i.e. get up 15 minutes earlier each week until you reach the time you need to be more productive.

What are some tips you have for making the transition from career to entrepreneurship? What advice can you give to others looking to pivot in their business or start another business? Share in the comments below.

To get your startup off to an amazing new year, I’m offering a deal on a couple of my products and services:

Start my FREE online course – The Authentic Marketing Blueprint. This tool will help you get focused and ready to create strong marketing campaigns that attract, engage, and convert THE RIGHT people.
