Take a Stand

Take a StandA few years ago, I lost a friend.

This friend thought that I had done something to them, that I had not done.

No matter how I tried to reach out to heal the gap, they were not responsive.

I realized something at that time. It didn’t matter what they thought or how they acted towards me. EVERY SINGLE time I said something about them to others, it was positive – even though they were publicly nasty about me. EVERY TIME I saw them in passing, I was cordial, polite, and held the love in my heart that I truly have for them.

Tonight, I ran into this person by accident, in a social situation that neither one of us could avoid. I held my love in my heart for them. And, after awhile, they came over and started talking with me. Asking about things that are important to me.

It seems small, but the healing has clearly begun. My other friend who was with me said, “Wow! I’m sorry you had to run into them. That must have been awful.”

“It was the opposite!”, I responded. “Today was the first step to the healing I have been wanting for years. It has begun!”

I am so grateful that I waited and did not engage in hurtful gossip or shunning or silly games.

When you take a stand for something, the stars MUST align. When you take a stand and stay true to what you want, ignoring everything contrary to your desire, it WILL come around.

It Will!

Love your stand UP!

Are you more important?

Are you more important?Who do you measure yourself against?

How are you measuring up?

I invite you, for one moment, to take stock of the people who value you as important.

The world “seems” to say that if you are vastly wealthy and famous, that you are more important (I am NOT saying that you shouldn’t be vastly wealthy and famous – you should if you want to be!)

What I am saying is – It is possible that you haven’t taken stock of who you REALLY are. For yourself, for your peeps, for the world.

There lies GREAT value in the person who likes to sit behind the scenes and listen. The engineer who builds the bridge and never has his name engraved on it – he/she holds great value to all who pass.

YOU are important if you care. Even if you care about the fact that you aren’t doing enough – It is a signal to you that you ARE important (right?)

You are here to carve out your place in the world. You may not realize it, but EVERYONE who sees you let someone in to a traffic jam, who watches you give a dollar to someone who needs it, sees you pick up a piece of litter in a bathroom…IT MATTERS.

If you want to achieve INVALUABLE wealth in this world, keep giving, every chance you get. It is noticed.

And, you will be famous among those who matter. And you will enjoy immeasurable wealth.

Love ’em UP!

Don’t be worried about “Procurement”

Don't be worried about "procurement"
Don’t be worried about “procurement”

They are trained to tell you that they are negotiating with others.

It may or may not be true.

Love ’em up. Get them what they need. Have empathy for their job to “protect” the company from you.

HELP! How do YOU manage business travel?

I just got back to my office from a week of business travel.

Some of the meetings I had were VERY worth it – but there was a lot of “wasted” time.

In all of the years of selling, I have never figured out how to keep all of the balls in the air. Getting home, I am a teensy bit overwhelmed.

So, I want to hear. How do YOU keep the routines moving and catch up when you are back?

Wanna rule the world (or at least your corner of it)?

Wanna rule the world (or at least your corner of it)?

I met a wildly successful woman a few years back who was speaking about the secret to her self-made and self-launched line of perfumes.

When someone asked her how she did it so gracefully, she replied, “If you’re organized, you can do anything.”

It really stuck with me.

The indominatable Thank You Note Wins Again

The indominatable Thank You Note Wins AgainAs many of you know, I recently won Bob Burg’s Grand Prize for his Holiday Contest. (GO www.burg.com! )

As some of you also know, I donated 10% of it to his favorite kind of charity, my local Humane Society.

What happened just a few days ago?

I received a HAND-WRITTEN THANK YOU NOTE for the donation.

Lickety-split and completely unexpected!
The result: The Hobart Humane Society has gone on my favorite charity list – for good! They WILL receive more money from me. http://www.humanesocietyofhobart.org/

It’s simply magical – that hand-written Thank You note. If you aren’t doing it – START!

Using the THREE Fundamentals of networking to sell!

Using the FIVE Fundamentals of networking to sell! A good friend of mine emailed me a FANTASTIC sales training video today. It sparked my imagination and I have added THREE things to my sales process – that I have learned about great networking.

I started using these last week and I’ve gotten FIVE really strong leads from this new approach!

1) EVERY TIME I am talking with a prospect or a client, I am looking to see who I can connect them with in their industry or their town. Somone who I know and would make a difference for the person on the other end of the phone. I become a connector, a thought leader, and a valuable resource.

2) EVERY TIME I am talking with a prospect or a client I am reminding myself: I AM ON A MISSION TO SERVE OTHERS.

3) EVERY TIME I am talking with a prospect or client, I ask “Who do you know that I should be talking to?” “Who do you know who can use my help?” (And then I be quiet. I wait for their response).

Magical!

Thanks, Lynne, for the video!

 Love your peeps UP!

The quote to sum it all up for the week – on victims

The quote to sum it all up for the week - on victims

“We cannot have a world where everyone is a victim. “I’m this way because my father made me this way. I’m this way because my husband made me this way.” Yes, we are indeed formed by traumas that happen to us. But then you must take charge, you must take over, you are responsible.”

― Camille Paglia

Wanna reinvent a part of your life?

Wanna reinvent a part of your life?Thanks to Vidette Vanderweide for the vulnerable interview with me today about her powerful steps to reinvention.

Ever heard that tiny voice inside – nudging you to make a change? Or, maybe it’s bigger than that – maybe you’ve gotten sick – maybe you’ve lost something important to you and you don’t know where to turn. Perhaps you just find yourself a little bit “off” all the time?

On our call, Vidette outlined the six steps to reinvention.I’ve included them here – AND I highly ENCOURAGE you to get her book S.O.U.L. Mama. The book is page-turner. Vidette doesn’t “tell” you HOW to reinvent. She shows you how she did. And, it isn’t always pretty!

Order the book here: www.soulmamabook.com

The Six Steps to Reinvention:

  1. Reconnect – Reconnect with who you are and those dreams and desires you have (Maybe it’s been years since you’ve remembered them.)
  2. Reframe – Release old behaviors and replace with new ones to encourage a new paradigm to emerge.
  3. Receive – Receive new visions, new thoughts, new habits
  4. Reinvent – your daily practices – especially those that are no longer serving you
  5. Revolutionize – find your unique gifts and talents and bring them to the world
  6. Refine – What in your new paradigm is not working? Tweak it. Play with it. Refine it until it works the way you dreamed

We will post a recording of the VaVaVaVoom (Voyeruistic, Vicarious, Virtual) Conversation soon!

Love your life UP!
