Dave, if you’re reading this, I am so honored… Please keep reading!! =) =) So, it doesn’t seem long ago at all that I “met” Dave Ramsey. When I first started homeschooling, my group decided to do a weekly financial “support group” for the adults – which was based on the teachings of Dave Ramsey.

From HOPE to HOW!!
Soon, I will again be in the throes of my twice yearly “serving hours”… This is where I coach people from all over the world on business success. It’s my way of both giving back AND staying at the top of my game, so I charge nothing. (P.S. If you ARE a coach or consultant,

Just Sell Something Already!!
I get (and probably should) lots of questions about my success in sales. HOW can I outsell others in my industry or region? HOW do I get around this whole “can’t afford to buy” dilemma? WHAT can other business owners do differently??? Truth be told, I often ask myself those same questions…. why would I

Of COURSE, it can be done!!
Not sure how many people know this about me, but one of my favorite jobs in the world was waiting tables. AND, I have to say, I was pretty darn good at it. When I started working at 16 at Golden Corral Restaurant, my parents gave me this great advice: Whatever you do, keep the men’s

What am I Selling Today?

Of course, what these people (mainly women??) are HOPING is that they won’t HAVE to sell… that they

We were one – one family unit – and

OBJECTION!! How do you handle Sales Objections?
OBJECTION!! I can hear the gavel slam down on the defense attorney’s table as I type. OBJECTION!! On Ally McBeal, the stars would dramatically argue every point… stating objections, arguing them, proving their point. Most of the time, they would win. But in sales, we also encounter objections and the outcome is (many times) much

Perfect Score THINKING
This past week, I had the opportunity to speak at the Women For Hire Career Expo in Washington, D.C. It is always humbling for me to speak to an audience of women business owners as an “expert” and I cherish those few moments afterwards in which I can speak with them personally, hear their stories

Mission: FAILURE Recovery
“Unless a man undertakes more than he can possibly do, he will never do all that he can.” – Henry Drummond Mission: FAILURE Recovery. Great title for a blog post. How I wish I didn’t have the expertise to write it so easily. The truth is, not too long ago I set a HUGE goal… one that
