Not every mountain is worth the climb……

Define what is meaningful to YOU. Just because one coach or trainer says work 24/7 like no one else does so you can play like n one else does later…..doesn’t mean you have to, or that you are not giving it your all if you don’t.


What is meaningful to YOU?For me, my FAMILY has been #1 all my life.I started my journey back becoming self employed in 1993 when I was pregnant w our 2nd child……


Things have been rough, I have had some $10 months, some $100 some $100 months, some $10000 months (and many other numbers over the years……


But my FOCUS was and still is my FAMILY.


If you work so much that you neglect your family, you may be successful one day, but lose your family in the process…..then is that worth it?


I have heard many trainers say “treat your business like a business not a hobby” but in that some also say, if you are not working it 10-20 hours a day you are treating it like a hobby and not serious.


That is their opinion, and I disagree. This world and this life is about relationships…..Even if you are not married and don’t have kids, you still have other relationships in your life.


But everyone is different – you need to figure out what is important to you – and then yes, figure your schedule and WORK when you are working time on your schedule…..


Be PRESENT with your FAMILY and other RELATIONSHIPS when it is that time….


I have not always been perfect, and I have a workaholic mindset…..but I watch myself, and I have learned to schedule myself…..still a work in progress…..every day.


But I work consistently and productively when I am scheduled to work. that is the difference, and one of the big secrets to my success 🙂 <3

Confidence is a vital part of being fearless, and so is knowing who you are!

Confidence is a vital part of being fearless, and so is knowing who you are!

Bullies in life want to taunt and make fun of us and our success, especially when they can hide behind social media.

Undeniably we live in a world of critics.

Anytime someone is trying to accomplish their goals, and no matter how successful someone is, there is always a critic with something negative to say.

Especially on social media, somebody always has an opinion and more than likely, not a very good one.

Often this can create “mind monsters” in our heads, says Nancy Lieberman.

Nancy Lieberman is one of the most fearless women in the world and also;

The second female assistant coach in NBA history
An American All-Star basketball player and coach
Helped lead the US to an Olympic gold medal in 1975 and;
Silver US medal in 1976

Also the first woman to:

Try out for the NBA
Play in a professional men’s league
Play against the Harlem Globetrotters
Participate in the Harlem Globetrotters world tour

Nancy Lieberman says, “avoid the mind monsters by choosing to be deaf to the noise”, but beyond that, we must implement 3 steps to ensure success.

Learn these 3 powerful steps to achieving fearless confidence by listening to this incredible interview as Nancy shares her unbelievable success and how she realized it.

Envision Success

Being a visionary of the success you envision for your business, is not always easy. Achieving the business success you want starts with you, your vision, and one other person that also understands your vision.

Most importantly, staying committed to your vision for the long haul is imperative because most success does not happen overnight. Consequently, failure happens when: It’s challenging, Momentum slows, It’s not fun anymore

There’s no money coming in Setting the bar high with a big vision helps you to stay motivated when the going gets tough. Lewis Howes is a BIG visionary and pretty much needs no introduction!

Lewis teaches us: “Building quality relationships and our ability to enroll someone in our vision is what sets us apart. It also determines whether we can make something happen or not.

For someone to get on board with us, we need to be able to communicate what it is we want and what our vision is.”Join in on this incredible interview with Lewis to learn his secrets on being a big visionary and achieving the success you envision for your business.

Did you know referrals convert 400-500% more over a lead?

So how do you build a strong word of mouth referral base?

Better yet a referral base that keeps on giving?

You simply give back!

First of all, we know that it takes 5-12 touchpoints to make a sale.

Sending a Holiday card should be one of the touchpoints in your marketing arsenal.

By focusing on relationships, they have been successful in creating a strong, word of mouth referral base.

One thing is for sure, in every showcase, Holiday cards proved to be one of their most powerful touchpoints.

I understand that finding time to send Holiday cards can be difficult in today’s crazy, busy world.

Be prepared to find blessings coming to you from situations and circumstances which may at first appear to be the opposite. Learn to look for the blessing

“Be prepared to find blessings coming to you from situations and circumstances which may at first appear to be the opposite.

Learn to look for the blessing.”

I have been coaching, training, and speaking at events all over the world the last 15 years. Much moreso the last 6 years. It is amazing the many tragic events that have come thru my life, where I have thought, for a moment, “Why God, Why Me? Why not _____? You picked the wrong person, I am not this strong”…..

And through that, staying close to God, praying and questioning Him *many* times (I promise! I ask, fight, argue, cry, whine! lol All the above!)

Then He will bring something in front of me, someone who needs something, a speaking engagement not for money (sometimes yes, sometimes not), but for spiritual, where I *get the opportunity to* help and be of service to others……

But it is in those moments, not that it makes it all better….

It never does……but He shows me, how, *simply me* can help someone else, and make a difference for good in *their* life. People come to me after, they text me, they private message me, they call me, they hug me, they cry with me, they tell me how they got saved, or grew closer to God……And I realize……*My Why* and why He allowed it.

It don’t take the hurt and pain away, don’t make it perfect…..but it DOES make me feel better, makes me *see* the difference I am being able to make in my *dash* while I am here on this earth.

Billionaire still wears the same watch he bought in 1964.

Billionaire still wears the same watch he bought in 1964.

Many times, we are caught up in the moment of trying to get better and better….

It is great to want more, but it is also a limit of being smart….
A fool doesn’t just waste and blow his money cuz he has it.

I remember someone telling me about a conversation they had w someone else, this person had been to my house, and made a comment to this other person, that if I was making what I said I was, wondered why I didn’t upgrade my house.

Funny how people think….(and don’t ask you direct)
i have lots and lots of nice clothes and shoes (that is what I like to spend money on, and TIME things w my kids – we do LOTS of vacations and traveling). I drive a 85k vehicle, that is kinda nice….

My house – I ABSOLUTELY LOVE.Yes, it was made *awhile* ago, It is 2500 sq ft, so plenty what I need esp w the kids older, it is ranch style, which is my preference, and most important – my kids great grandfather built it w his own two hands, I will never ever sell it – even if I chose to move one day, it would stay in the family.

You don’t have to spend the money just cuz you made it – There has been several times in our life that Bryan and I thought we were financially pretty set, then his back surgery that didn’t go well came along w lots of bills and medical debt, and many other things….then we rose again for awhile, then had some other changes….you never know when things will happen…..invest for yourself when things are going good for those times when they won’t.

Also don’t save always and never have fun…..someone also made a comment on how many trips I go on….Yes, I am super super blessed, I get asked to speak at different events all over the world, and most times my flight/gas and my room are paid for – so many times I will take my kids, and we will stay a little extra on our own, and make a vacation out of it too. Then I do take lots of vacations and *breathers* — I work about 100 hours a week when I do work, so rather than take 2-5 hours a night watching tv that does nothing for me or my business, I will work and take extra relaxing time later, with my kids or friends that builds and nourishes my relationships in my life.

In the end – it is your life – your money – pray about it – make wise decisions, do as you wish

This is a neat article
