Sometimes I have people come up to me and say that they are just getting started in their businesses and they do not have much money to invest in clothes and specific things. Start small. Get one great outfit. It can be from a consignment store. It can be something you found on sale. It can be borrowed from your friend. Whatever it is – start! Don’t come up with excuses of why you can’t. Whatever you feel good in and if you are feeling great that is going to exude to the world. When you are feeling great, people are going to feel great around you. You are a reflection of how you feel about yourself when you go out into the world. When you dress and stand with great posture, smile, make eye contact, give that warm handshake, welcome people, and speak highly about yourself and your business, you will have people drawn to you just because of you. “Be yourself,” as Oscar Wilde says, “because everyone else is taken.”
5 Ways to Get Known in the World Today
Many people ask me, ” How can I get more people to hear about my business.?” I am on a mission to help others to chase after their passions and live their lives rich from the inside out. Let me tell you 5 ways, there are many more but I am going to tell you 5 ways that work for me:
Blogging – Fantastic venue for getting people to get to know you as a person. Not only is a blog about business tips or techniques. It is more like a personal diary. You are giving lessons or insights about your life and how it can relate to your product or service.
Writing articles You are building credibility. You getting people to read them, go to your website. Driving to your website.
Video People get to know, like, and trust you. They feel like the know you when they meet you in person. I have been to events where people come up to me and say, ” Debra I am glad to meet you. I feel like I have known you for a long long time.” It is fantastic. That’s honorable – very pleasurable to hear that.
Ezine or electronic newsletter It can be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Giving those tips, techniques, suggestions for books, or different things upcoming events. It is not necessarily the place to sell. The ezine is more about building your relationships.Your business is based on those relationships around you. The more you are able to connect with people the better you will be.
Live events. There is nothing like meeting that person in person and connecting with them on a heart to heart basis.
5 tips to help explode your business!
What Can You Do About Obstacles that Appear During Your Passion Quest?
Will You Choose to Win?
I often have people come up to me and say, “You know Deb, I am working really hard, I am putting in 10 hours, staying up late ’til 2 o’clock in the morning, getting up early try to get everything done and I am not getting the results that I want in my business or my life.” Life balance is a big deal. You can be continuously going for hours and hours but are you productive with your time?
Are you using your time efficiently to get what you want done? Have you ever noticed that you get more done when you have a deadline? Give yourself mini deadlines. Give yourself two hours for one area to work on so you can totally focus and dedicate your knowledge to that one area. Then when you are ready to work on another project or another area of your life totally dedicate one to two hours, whatever it is that you have time for. You will be surprised about how much you get done in that time. Often people think ,”Oh I have so much time.” Are we making useful time? Are you dottling in the kitchen flipping through papers not filing paper so it is then sitting on your desk – cluttering and draining your energy. File it, touch it, file it. Get it out of the way so you can breathe easy and focus on the task you have at hand.
Go to the gym. Go for a walk 30-60 minutes daily. Try to get that in daily. Not only does give you a piece of mind, it is good for your body and increases your immune system and makes you feel excited!
The person with the most energy – will win.
The person is most passionate about what they do – will win.
The person who makes the most effort – will win.
What are you going to do? I hope that you will chose to WIN!!
Do You Have the Motivation and Hunger to Achieve?
The other day I was having a coffee tea date with a colleague of mine and we were discussing what motivates people. We were talking about why some people might lose weight or go after their dreams and achieve them. Whereas, others struggle right where they are and they’re just steps away from achieving their goal. The thing that she said to me was so profound, “When you open your fridge – you are hungry.” Are you hungry for your dream? Are you hungry for your goal? If you needed to sustain yourself, are you hungry enough to go after it?
Most people do not have a plan. That is one of the biggest downfalls of many New Year’s Resolutions is that nobody plans for it. You want to make intentional planning. Setting small milestones along the way. Whether you want to lose weight or whether you want to increase your business? By how much? How much weight do you want to lose? How much do you want to grow your business? What is the number? Many are scared to even say it. If you do small increments even for weight loss. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. Why can’t you start with “I will lose 2 pounds by the end of this week.”? Pretty easy, but as those weeks multiply you will see 2 becomes 4, 4 becomes 6, 8, 10, 12, and so even if your goal is 20 pounds, you are there. Same thing with attendance to your seminars, going to events, or memberships. Have a goal in mind. How many people would you like to attract?
How much money do you want to attract into your life? Maybe you want to spend more quality time with your family. How about spending how about start with 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, or go to a movie. Can you see what I am getting at? If you plan for it and making it an intention. soon enough you will achieve it but there needs to be a plan. Are you hungry enough to make it happen? Shoot for the mission is possible
