Do you really know how to ground yourself?
In the last post, I gave myself good reasons why I should make it a priority to ground myself. Yours might be slightly different, but being heart-based entrepreneurs, we’re likely to have similar ideas.
There are a number of popular techniques designed to help you ground yourself which you’ve likely heard:
Visualizing chords connecting the center of [...]
Being grounded; why bother?
How many times have you heard the advice to “be more grounded”. It’s one of those motherhood statements that you agree with but don’t always remember to implement.
And if you don’t implement something it either means that you haven’t made it a priority or you don’t know how. That’s certainly been the case with me.
So [...]
The best way to stretch your comfort zone
At yoga class today, I heard something that reminded me of what new entrepreneurs go through.
We were doing an exercise that was designed to open up our hip joints. First, we went through a movement that contracted the same muscles that we would stretch a moment later.
The instructor said that the joints would be willing [...]
Are prospects really unable or unwilling to pay?
I just came back from Baeth Davis’s Life Purpose Spiritual Summit, where I had a ball with other spirit-minded entrepreneurs and learned a lot.
One of those lessons was around an issue that many of us soft-sell service providers find difficult: pricing.
If you tend to worry whether your prospects will be willing or able to pay [...]
Being of Service Has a Dark Side
Are you the sweetheart that friends can always count on?
Do you give 100% and more to your clients?
Then you should be rich in goodwill, a very valuable asset. (Not that you were being helpful and giving for that reason of course),
What if I told you that you might have created some problems as a result [...]
Lessons for entrepreneurs from a corporate retirement party
I went to a retirement dinner last night. It was for someone I worked with over 10 years ago, and in addition to connecting again with old friends, it was really interesting to hear their comments about the corporate world.
Two main ideas kept coming up over and over again:
The importance of relationships
Their appreciation for people [...]
Finding clients: If you can help people with these two things, you’ll be in demand
It’s really hit home lately how people, especially entrepreneurs, feel distressed by two things more than ever:
They are overwhelmed by the array of choices: strategies to implement, tasks to complete, technology to learn or outsource, etc.
They are facing this alone and will fully bear the consequences of their choices.
Gone is the established set of procedures [...]
What if you run out of ideas?
Entrepreneurs have a reputation for being idea people, so their problem is often too many ideas rather than too few.
Or is it?
Depends if you count only the ideas that:
Are consistent with the entrepreneur’s purpose, mission and overall plan
Are a good use of time and resources in view of their projected profitability
And are coupled with [...]
Caring leadership leads to success
I was just listening to Jay Abraham, one of the most successful marketers and consultants of all time, explaining the basics of his philosophy. (If you’re interested, you can get his free Mini Course here ).
Two of his points are that:
People want to be understood and cared for (you’ve heard me say that enough times)
People [...]
None of us fully understand our value
That statement applies to us most of the time, not just when we are in a low self-worth phase.
I was reflecting on it after reading Noah St John’s fantastic book, “The Secret Code of Success”. It’s full of ideas that are really consistent with my philosophy.
Here’s a direct quote from his book:”…you can’t fully perceive [...]
