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

Cocaine King becomes Billionaire
“Cocaine King”, Joaquin Guzman Loera, has a lot to celebrate this month. In addition to being featured in FORBES Magazine at the end of March, he has also joined the ranks of 38 new Billionaires this year – banking over $1 Billion in personal income… and I’m not sure he’s paying taxes on that money

How Can I Get MOTIVATED to do this?
This morning, again, I woke up at 4:30 Am to work. My kids and husband are home for the summer, so my work hours are slightly irregular… bringing me back to my entrepreneurial roots of working while everyone else slept! 🙂 At 5:50, I got in my car and met my friend for a 6 AM

My Life as a Garden Hose
I coach so many people who complain about being “pulled in a thousand different directions”, people whose own goals have consistently been put on the back burner as they run around serving everyone else, saying yes to everything EXCEPT what they really wanted to say yes to. Men and women whose careers and businesses are

My LEAST Favorite Business Guru / Coach

Almost ALL of their products – he claims – are over priced and under-effective (compared to his own “business opportunity”, of course.) He even had the audacity

I remember a cross-stitch picture that used to hang in my brother’s room. It was of a deer and underneath it were the words, “My First Deer”, commemorating his first “hunting trophy”. As children, our world is defined by our firsts…. which kept life a constant adventure… there was NO comfort zone that stood a

Thomas Jefferson responds to Current Economic "Bail Outs"
Oh no! I woke up this morning and again, realized that I had NOT been “bailed out” yet. What on earth am I to do? Perhaps the message is that I am, in fact, actually responsible for my own “bail out”…. Hmmmm….. On a more serious note, I came across a quote from Thomas Jefferson

Market Like a Hooker…
Sex sells. We have all heard this “truth”, but how, exactly? HOW does “sex sell”? Well, I spent the weekend with a call girl to, um, pick her brain. More on that later…. If you are like many of my private clients…. *** you may be wondering how to do this thing “right”… I mean,

Marijuana, "The Experts", Olympic Champion, and Success??
A while back I blogged about Michael Phelps, and how his “extra stroke” won him the gold. I saw the “disgraced” olympian on TV the other night, along with the rest of the nation. While his publicist-written letter of “regret” was clearly “well-penned”, I hesitate to believe he TRULY regrets his “mistake”. In fact, I am
