The Three S's to SUCCESS in Business

I'm talking to my Solopreneurs and Coaches this morning!
More people have recently been asking about the Brand You Program, what it is, what it does, etc.
What I do with the Brand You Program is empower coaches and solopreneurs with the three S's of SUCCESS so they can increase their customers by at least 20% every 90 days.
How I do this is through teaching them about:
Self-Mastery
Storytelling
Sales
When you have mastered your SELF you have the confidence to tell great STORIES to strangers who then begin to listen to what you are saying. Once people are listening to what you are saying, you can begin the "no sales pitch" SALES process resulting in an influx of new customers.

Happy Valentine's Day

It's Friday! It's Valentine's Day! What are you doing today?
Growing up as a romantic, Valentine's Day was always a special day for me.
What I especially like about the holiday is the opportunity to document how you feel about your loved one. In a card, poem, social media post, today is a day to give thanks and appreciation for the loved ones in your life.
For those of you that don't have a significant other, Valentine's Day can also be shared amongst friends. Even though they may not be your "lover," go out of your way to document how you feel about your friend. That could be your Valentine.
You got it, now go #getit

Music and Your Mood

I finished the book, It Takes What It Takes by Trevor Moawad this week. He writes about the power of "Neutral Thinking" that elite-level athletes use to become champions.
One of the big reasons for my success in sales and sales training is what I teach in transferring the feeling you feel about your solution to your target audience. I experienced it first hand when performing in an independent band in my mid 20's to early 30's. I witnessed the power of music first hand.
Trevor writes about the power of music in what he calls his version of Super Size Me through media. He wasn't hardening his arteries like cholesterol from fast food, he was hardening his attitudes and vision through:
An hour to an hour and a half of hard-core metal rock
An hour to an hour and a half of country music
Watch the news
His reasoning, negative music and sounds are a big part of the hostage process relative to torture. Isolation and physiological torture, negative stimuli (music) has created a phenomenon called "give-up-itis." It was used in the Korean War.
One of the most sought after mental coaches in sports had been broken in 26.5 days.
What's the point here?
The point is the power of music and how it impacts our mood.
I believe music can feed our soul or our flesh.
Our soul longs for being, longs for acceptance, and longs for connection with our creator.
Our flesh longs for pleasure, longs for impulse, and longs for more and more conquest.
I believe in self-audits. Do an audit of the music you consume, it may be time for a detox as proven by Trevor's brave experiment.

Now Act Like It

You are a part of a society that doesn’t look for the good in others so you often aren’t reminded of the fact that what you do, you do well. Today, do what you do - and because you do it well - act like it.

You Are Not A Failure...EVER

Do you play basketball or are you a basketball player? Do you sing or are you a singer? The activity you my be involved in doesn’t necessarily mean that’s what you are. It’s the same thing when failing at achieving your goal. You fail; yes. You are never a failure. EVER.

Follow Your Initial Plan...

...even if you need to break the zone you are in. Yesterday was a busy day for me, I had a lot to do so I blocked out my day accordingly. In my first block of time, I was on fire so I didn’t stop when I should have which had a domino affect on all other tasks for the day.

Opportunities may not always Align with Your Calling

How often are you presented with an amazing opportunity that you accept because of the opportunity however it may not align with your calling in life? We all have a calling. It’s doing what we were created to do. It’s what we are most passionate about and it gives us the greatest joy. Before accepting a great opportunity, always measure it with your calling.
