We’ve all been there…. where we hit an unforeseen and almost unexplainable sales slump. We keep pushing out messages, offers, even FREEBIES and yet — we hear crickets. We wonder, Why Me? What happened? What Can I Do? or even, What’s WRONG with these people NOT buying? lol… So, what gives? Below is a five

3 MUST-DOs: How to Make Money on Facebook
I was just asked to write an article on making money on facebook. Yes, me. I’m not sure this magazine knows what they’re getting themselves into, lol… but I’m happy to do it. NO, I don’t teach social media marketing. Why? Because social media is a collection of TOOLS, not a marketing or sales plan

Is THIS what you Wish?
I hear it all the time. The I WISH statements… I wish it / you were closer. I wish it / you were cheaper. I wish it / you were more convenient. I wish it / you were “softer.” (lol…) First note that these are not comments I hear from my ideal clients. They don’t

Creating the UnFair Advantage
It’s no secret that I come from a long line of deer hunters. Now, I get it. But “back then” when I was a young girl, it devastated me. I’d write long letters to my Dad about how I couldn’t BELIEVE that MY DADDY was a murderer. A murderer of deer. Yeah, I guess I

Sometimes, we’re so focused on WHAT’s CHANGING or

Learning Business Strategies from “Wild Things”

Lawrence I talk to small business owners and entrepreneurs everyday who have a laundry list of reasons why their businesses aren’t succeeding. “This economy is killing me.” “No one

OH Be Careful Little Ears What You Believe
I grew up in a red carpet Baptist church, and — today — am reminded of a little nursery-rhyme song I learned when I was a toddler. “Oh Be Careful Little Eyes What You See. Oh Be Careful Little EARS What You Hear.” I’m reminded of this song after trying to find the webpage of
