Middle finger, please…..

Recession, recession.  I had a client tell me this morning she might have to lower her rates due to the recession.  Then , I asked “so how many people have complained about your rates?”

Answer: none. Hmmm.  Reality or mindset?

Are you living in recession mode?  Post a comment and share your thoughts.

Please join me in rasing a middle finger to recession mentality!

1, 2, 3 go,

Suzanne

It’s how often you show up……

 

I love dogs.  I also love dog shows.  I really love showing dogs in dog shows.  It’s just so me…..the drama, the theatrical nature, the competition, the excitement, the rush, the preparation, the adreanaline, the win….. (see Lucky Boy being groomed above as a puppy).

But, here is a little insight about dog shows.  YES!  Even the biggies on TV like Westminster.  Wanna know how you win?

Well, first you gotta have a dog in the show.

Second, the dog has to meet the requirements.

Third, you show up over and over.

Yep.  I didn’t know this when I first started.  I thought there was a magic formula or a path to success and seniority.  Nope.  If you keep showing up and doing the work consistently the judges begin to recognize you as serious and committed.  When you become familiar- you start winning.  Sounds like a marketing plan to me.

Do you have a dog in the show? (Service/product)

Does it meet the requirements? (Solve a problem)

Do you keep showing up?  (Speaking, newsletters, blogs, writing, asking, doing, etc)

It’s that simple folks!  Don’t mess it up.

Dog ciao,

Suzanne

Six Figure Business Secret

People keep asking me- how did you create a six figure business so quickly?  What did you do?  What’s the secret?

I am going to give it away today!  Drum roll, please……..

Effort.  No, seriously.

Effort.

Everywhere. Every place. Every time~  I was showing up in my business and for my business.  And it becomes very interesting with some of my clients……they will email or call and say I am doing all I can and the cleints aren’t showing up.  And we will run down the list of ideas or suggestions we had from last session and the answer is always the same.

I am not sure if that will work for me.

I didn’t have time.

I got stuck.

Maybe I shouldn’t be a therapist, coach, acupuncturist, web designer (fill in the blank).

Entrepreneurship takes effort- and lots of it.  I have been privelaged to work with hundreds of business success stories and I have worked with businesses that have failed.  Almost always the  difference was intentional CONFIDENT effort.

So, before you give up on your big business dream or you life long goal because it just isn’t working out or it’s too hard- first allow me to kick you in the ass and kindly say: What effort have you REALLY put in?  Were you working or were you thinking about working?

Get up off of that thang and dance to you feel better,

Suzanne

NO PARKING

Today I was standing on the curb waiting for a cab and a sign caught my attention. NO PARKING. My immediate reaction was – Hey! I’d like a neon sign to remind me of that every now and then. How many of us have been parked in our lives, our jobs, our relationships, our business, or our finances? I am learning (slowly!) that you don’t have to be certain of where you are going…..just hit the gas. You are missing so much by staying parked- even if you are lost……choose to drive. Ready for the truth? It’s the only way you are ever gonna get to where you wanna go.  No one ever did a road trip in a parking space.

Buckle up,

Suzanne
