To succeed in business you just need 1000 true fans. And what makes it so hard to find them? Would you believe, it’s actually your desire to help people?

Once in a while, NOT keeping your word is actually critical to your success. Here’s a confession…
Start Before You’re Ready
January 16 by 44 Comments
I know that sometimes I start things and fall flat on my
face.
What I am so glad about is I have learned to start projects
that I feel totally not ready for. I am so glad that I have
learned to take on things that scare me to pieces. I am
excited by the challenge of something totally unknown.
I like to start fast and fail even faster so that I can
learn from my mistakes. If you were on the inside of my
business, you would know how fast we change course when we
don’t get results. You would know how quickly seemingly
risky decisions are made daily. And you would know how
uncomfortable that sometimes feels, but it’s what makes my
life and my business such an amazing vehicle for personal
growth.
So here’s what I know:
Begin before you feel like you’re sufficiently prepared.
Take the first step despite the size or the difficulty of
the project. Get going even if you feel like you currently
don’t have enough this or that – or perhaps even if you
feel that you’re not enough.
Our minds are no use to us in the matter of starting that
which our hearts know is our path. It will come up with
excuses, doubts and countless reason why you can’t and
shouldn’t do something.
Begin because it is the only way. And know that our
resistance to doing our soul’s work is our signal that we
are on the right path.
If there’s no resistance to the work, you’re often skirting
around the periphery of your work. Resistance is the friend
that arrives when we’ve hit bulls-eye. Procrastination,
avoidance and excuse-making are simply part of the
territory.
Resistance, Procrastination & Avoidance have been with me
for years, but now they are increasingly becoming my
friends. They signal to me that I am on my hero’s journey
and that I am getting closer to whatever my next level
is. They are not the dragons that will stop me from getting
there, but simply signal that tell me that I’m close… and my
job is to continue to inch closer.
So what are you waiting for?
Begin. Be uncomfortable. And rejoice that you are alive and
living your best life TODAY.
Your turn:
Tell me in the comments below – what is one thing that you’re going to start even though you’re not ready?
What to do when someone gives you advice (and it doesn’t feel right)
June 4 by Leave a Comment
We are constantly bombarded with messages that tell us what to do, how to be and even how to think. It started in childhood with our parents and now continues through friends, culture at large, marketing and even through various experts on various subjects (yes, including me).
And as important as information, advice and viewpoints are from the outside world, the most important point of view is YOURS.
Any opinion and every teaching point can only illuminate part of your path. The rest is your job.
Only you know what you truly love.
Only you hear messages from your higher self.
Only you

What if your business had a CEO?
I’d love for you think about this for a second…
If your business had a CEO, how would that CEO rate your performance?
Riskiest post I’ve ever written

This is the riskiest post I’ve ever written.
I am about to break my own cardinal rule of never talking about politics or religion in my newsletter. And even though I am not political, I can’t help but talk about politics to illustrate my point.
Here it goes:
In my opinion, one of the main reasons our political system is broken is because its design has been co-opted by politicians who put most of their time, energy and resources into getting re-elected and holding power rather than on serving the people they are meant to serve. Politicians make promises and then make back-room deals, placing their own interests of staying in power (or getting elected in the first place) way above what they are there for in the first place being in service to their tribe, their constituents. Because of this unfortunate evolution, government has become a joke.
