Loral Langemeier
In a recent interview, Loral Langemeier encouraged business owners to declare, “I’m the best in the world.” Of course, only if it’s true. To people who ARE amazing, but refuse to “brag,” she says, “Well, stay poor!” I love that she doesn’t mince words.
Just the other day, I heard myself say, “No one knows this industry better than me.” The thing is, it’s absolutely true. For the “everyday” expert — those without media and fame — intent on leveraged income through events and memberships and more, no one knows this work better than me. No one.
Today, I’m asking you to stand up and declare your OWN brilliance! If you’re on my list, your personal invite to do this is on its way. If you’re not yet on our list, you’re still welcome to come and “BRAG.” The alternative, according to Loral, is to “stay poor.” Make your choice.
If you’re willing to declare what YOU DO better than anyone else, post it below! If you’re still struggling, see my own comment below. Because I get it! =)
btw, ALL WEEK, encourage your friends and family and clients to stand up and be counted here… ALL POSTS will be combined into a FREE rolodex of the best of the best — which I’ll distribute to my own list!
If you’re struggling with this “BRAG FEST” I get it.
Sometimes it feels like 1/2 of us are hesitant to declare our TRUE expertise and the other 1/2 are NEGLIGENT about declaring theirs…. declaring a new expertise every other month… every year, even. One year we know you as the career expert. The next? You’re selling sales support. And this year? You’re the yoga guru.
WAIT A MINUTE!
But, that’s THEM. Let them change titles and businesses and focus every year. Don’t let it deter you from declaring YOUR true, hard fought expertise! If you’re the BEST of the BEST, declare it here… and let me promote you to our entire list. Don’t delay!
Well, as long as we are bragging… I think I am a fabulous mom blogger! I created Family Focus Blog where you can find information on all things family related from parenting to recipes to fun activities to travel and more! @familyfocusblog has almost 50,000 followers. Thanks for the article and reminding up us to toot our own horn sometimes!
WElcome Scarlet! So, you’re clearly an expert at getting tens of thousands of followers as well! =) Ever share your secrets to THAT? If so, dm kerry(at)womenwhowow.com so we can feature your top tips! =)
I have so much love for my fellow bloggers. Sending love! Maybe we’ll meet at line of the conference this year. Let’s connect @jasminepowers.
I am a fabulous leadership and executive coach. I love mentoring execs to be better leaders–in their careers and their lives! Thanks for the opportunity.
You bet, Susan! And you make a GREAT point…. TRULY fabulous coaches have MANY times during the year when they’re “not looking for new clients” — when they OWN their fabulousness. =) Congratulations on your success! AND — if you’re ever looking to leverage your expertise (and maybe you already do… I’ll have to check out your site) — go here to get MY labor of love. =) It’s all about coaches expanding their income through groups, membership sites, etc. http://www.thebrokecoach.com/freegift/
P.S. I worked my behind off doing a FREE 5-lesson course on Building Great Teams and try to invite everyone to sign up on my website, http://www.susancfoster.com
I am not looking for new clients right now—would be glad to share for everyone who wants it to sign up, get it, and then unsubscribe!! A labor of love for me.
Through the grace of God I have been equipped to radically shift lives from surviving to thriving. He has used my breast cancer experience, training and abilities to “brilliantly” lead teams, individuals and groups to living a life they love by helping them find and maximize the great work they were created to do.
Michelle has inspired me to offer *FREE* coaching, something she does every year. So, through the months of June and July, I will be coaching breast cancer “thrivers” for free. Details on my website. Please feel free to present my offer to those in need.
Thanks Susan! =) LOVE to see you in action and serving people!
What a great idea — thank you, Michelle!
I am the Content Sorceress! Clients come to me with a jumbled mess of scattered Web pages, abandoned blogs, ghost-town Facebook pages, and neglected email lists … and I whip it into a strategic powerhouse of kickass content designed to turn fans into followers, followers into customers, and customers into advocates.
Content Sorceress… Love it!

I run a fabulous Home Staging company, ra reDoes rooms (rarooms.com) where we manage the staging so YOU can manage the SALE!! We specialize in staging vacant houses and condos in the DC and Maryland, and work with small development companies, busy realtors and saavy home sellers. Our staged properties tend to move fast – many in under 45 days. Yes, it is a sellers market this year but lots of HGTV influenced buyers – who are looking for homes that they see on TV. Don’t let your property disappoint them – wow them at start!
I also have just started a second business as your blinds, shades and shutter expert in the DC area – have recently become a owner/manager of Budget Blinds of Silver Spring. If you are ready to lower your utility bills and tired of the white paper shades, check us out! We service Silver Spring, Kensington, Takoma Park and parts of DC. you can read more about us at http://www.budgetblinds.com/silverspring.
Thanks Michelle for this opportunity. My businesses are both location based, but you never know who is reading and can refer business my way!
Thanks Roslyn!
My expertise is supporting women to RECONNECT with their TRUE self, so they can EXPRESS themselves authentically, connect more DEEPLY with others, and create a life that is MEANINGFUL to them.
I do this by guiding them to cultivate deeper awareness and presence within their body and self; using that awareness as the CATALYST for creating fuller expression and genuine fulfilment in every part of their lives.
Thanks Marissa! Can’t wait to get to know you better!
I coach families to recognize their parenting ideals of calm, cooperation and confidence! I give parents powerful, practical tools for connection that they can use in every situation to truly guide and influence their children toward more cohesive, cooperative interactions.
My greatest strength is my ability to help parents from WHERE THEY ARE to where they want to be – with empathy and understanding but without beating around the bush! We target the issues with laser-sharp focus in order to make a real and lasting change for families.
When families coach with me or participate in a class they feel heard, seen and understood in a way they may never have felt before. Clients end the cycle of nagging, yelling and policing to find more joy as a parent!
What a fabulous opportunity to declare our strengths and read about others! Thanks!
Do you have a problem? Not when I am around. Move over Olivia Pope, I have been a “fixer” for a long time. After working in this capacity for 15 years in politics and public arena, now I offer my talents to small businesses and non- profits.

I am a Yoga teacher specializing in Yoga therapeutics. I am an intuitive healer, teacher and mentor. While I know myself to be a healer, I know it’s not me doing the healing, I help students get to know their bodies, reconnect to their spirits and learn to listen to their soul speak. Through my teachings, both in class settings and in one on one sessions, I give people opportunity to grow and expand in a safe, non- judgement space, and in that space, with open hearts, free minds and soaring spirits they can heal themselves.
Om Shanti!
