🤔🤔🤔“We’re all mad here.” 🤔🤔🤔
For everyone reading this on the “outside” of Women Who WOW, I want to share something you may at first find ironic, if not downright comical.
Our collective focus in March was on momentum.  It went a little something like this:
WOW Women: This month we’re going to focus on, generate and increase MOMENTUM in our businesses… going bigger, deeper, farther. NOW is the time.
WORLD: Great. Allow me to introduce you to a little virus that will shut down everything, cause the markets to panic and force all humanity home.
WOW Women: Well played, universe. Well played.
Of course, Women Who WOW members are still launching, still having — and filling — events, still selling, and still building momentum.
In a few cases, this little “situation” is actually ushering in perfect opportunities for new products or programs and / or getting clients — previously demanding in-person services — to learn to love “virtual” giving our members MORE freedom with LESS time traveling and on the road.
Yes, there are some challenges,
but there are also some
pretty huge
Opportunities.

We’ll discuss how to position ourselves to be one of the businesses that get STRONGER and more PROFITABLE during economic downturns… because in EVERY economic downturn, there are businesses that dELIBERATELY gain income, market share, and influence.
But, for now… I have a different message. I want to talk about MADNESS.
Defined as: fantastic, foolish, unreasonable.
The OPPOSITE of “madness:” sensible, predictable and orderly.
Virus or no virus,
the ULTIMATE sin you can commit
upon your business,
the one that will kill it the quickest…
Is the sin of being BORING,
predictable
orderly,
“sensible.”
So, yeah…
In the REALM of wildly successful entrepreneurs,
Alice was right…
“All the best [entrepreneurs] are…”
Here’s how to go from MARCH MADNESS
to FULL-TIME MADNESS…
making MORE money with the MINDSET of being mad, the MOVEMENTS of a mad person, and the MOMENTUM built on “madness.”
First, the MINDSET of being mad: Woman, it IS your madness that makes you magnetic.
It IS very fantasticalness,
the exact foolishness,
the chosen UNREASONABLENESS of your thoughts, your expectations, your approach
that draws the right people in.
It is your sparkle, your shine.
So, don’t limit your madness.
Don’t reign it in,
don’t shave off every sharp corner,
don’t homogenize your message, your brand or YOURSELF.
Let the MADNESS of that magnificent mind of yours run wild. Will it repel some? You know it will. But it will roll out the red carpet of welcome for others… for your lifers, for those who get it and get you.
The MOVEMENT of madness is what you DO… the “mad” actions you take. The unpredictable ones, the actions you feel inspired to take in the moment, the messy “chaos” that cubicle dwellers could never tolerate, the offers, the live streams, the messages that come through…
do NOT filter them.
do NOT try to “normalize” your actions and habits,
do not try to be MORE reasonable or sensible.
This makes you like everyone else.
It secures your spot in the MEDIOCRE MASSES…
and trust me,
You’d rather be in the MINORITY of MADNESS.Â
THIS is where the money is made
where the impacts are deep and long-lasting,
where influence grows and purposes are fulfilled.
Now, what about the momentum of madness?
Well, it CAN feel
under the iron curtain of uncertainty
we’ve named “Coronavirus”
that momentum is all but unattainable.
It may feel that continuing to PRESS PLAY,
continuing to plot and plan forward,
continuing to sell,
is “mad,”
delusional even.
It may feel like the SENSIBLE
or PREDICTABLE thing to do
is to press pause,
to wait for this thing out,
because you know…
no one is buying anyway.Â
That is a belief you can choose.
It won’t serve you,
and it’s not true,
but it’s certainly an option.
I implore you to join the madness,
to embrace the fantastic,
to flirt with the unreasonable…
and to stay the course.
Coronavirus
AND ALL OF ITS PANIC
will pass.
Where will your business be left?
Will it be stronger?
Or will it be stalled?
Woman, you are at the helm.
Your hands are on the wheel
and your feet are on the petals.
What you DO
how you THINK and RESPOND
determines your outcome.
Today
and always,.
I’m here to help you ramp up,
pivot,
and stay the course.
