 Every business needs a tribe. Your tribe may include a wide variety of people… clients, customers, business partners, joint venturers, downline associates, employees, and just plain fans.
Conscious entrepreneurs know that attracting the ideal tribe is far more important than having the biggest tribe.
The ideal tribe consists of people who resonate with the passions, purpose and vision of the business you want to create.
This post shares some ideas for finding your ideal tribe through the power of conscious attraction marketing. Continue reading How to Use the Power of Conscious Intention to Attract Your Ideal Tribe
 About a year ago, when I was brand new to internet marketing, I was inspired by Tracy Repchuk to write 30 blog posts in 30 days. Tracy is the author of 31 Days to Millionaire Marketing Miracles, and was my first internet marketing guru.
When I attended Tracy’s Dream to Reality Success Summit in May 2009, I didn’t even know what I wanted to sell online. I just knew I wanted to be part of the hottest industry in the world, internet marketing.
So I started a blog on something I knew a lot about … how to become an entrepreneur. You see, I have been a serial entrepreneur since I was 12 years old. Over the years, I have started dozens of businesses… from selling vintage clothing to operating a bicycle shop in Washington, DC. Continue reading What has this blog done for my business?
It is more blessed to give than to receive. ~~ Acts 20:35
 Does this quote resonate with you? Do you love to give presents, but have a hard time accepting when someone wants to give to you? Do you give out lots of compliments, but deflect them when they come your way? Do you keep a mental balance sheet, carefully returning each gift or compliment so that you are never in anyone’s debt? If so, you have been conditioned with a very pervasive belief system that may be standing in the way of your own success and happiness. Continue reading Is it really better to give than to receive?
 “A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” ~~Joseph Campbell
It is Memorial Day week-end, and as I write this blog post, my thoughts are with the family and friends of the brave soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice serving our country. Whether or not you agree with the wars we have gotten ourselves into, there is no doubt that the men and women who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan are the heroes of our time. They are fighting for our freedom, and that got me thinking..
How should we who are left behind honor their service? What would make our freedom worthy of their sacrifice?
There are so many ways we can use and abuse that freedom. We can choose to eat well, exercise regularly, and manage our stress…or we can over-indulge and use drugs and alchohol to avoid our demons. We can choose to do work that we love, that makes a difference in the world…or we can stay in a dead-end job and complain about our bad luck. We can read and write and share life-affirming literature…or we can while away the hours with mindless TV and video games.
We have those choices because others have fought and died for them. Nobody can tell us what to choose, and nobody but us is responsible for their consequences.
As we go through the golden days of summer, I plan to keep our fallen heroes in mind as I make choices. I intend to choose health over instant gratification, passion over security, and joy over pain. I intend to give with a generous spirit, and touch as many lives as possible.
In the words of Joe Vitale, I plan to “dare something worthy” with my life…something bigger than myself, that will leave the world a better place than I found it.
To all of our fallen heroes, I intend to honor your courage and sacrifice by becoming the hero of my own life. May your souls rest in peace.
 I’ve been on sabbatical from my teaching job since January, but it officially ended with graduation on May 8th. Even though I’m not teaching this summer, I’ve spent the past few days grieving the loss and worrying about all the things I didn’t get done.
Yesterday, I happened upon the list of projects I made at the beginning of the sabbatical. My entrepreneurial self was going to write a book, create a membership site, attract 10 people to my health & wellness business, and start a master mind group.
My inner Renaissance Girl was going to learn Spanish, take Nia and Zumba classes, complete yoga teacher training, make a quilt, walk a half-marathon, and ride a century.
Not to mention that my academic goal was to write and publish three law review articles.
I have always been very disciplined, so I set up a rigorous schedule for myself. Starting at 6 a.m. every morning, I had every minute and every hour of every day strictly accounted for. Continue reading Living in Einstein Time
 It was a beautiful morning on the Chesapeake Bay, and the osprey were out in full force. They seem to have multiplied since last year. Every 30 feet, there is another next on one of my neighbor’s piers.
Ospreys mate for life, and they come back to nest in the same place every year. At this time in the season, they have already mated and the moms-to-be spend all day sitting on their eggs. The dads are the bread-winners and fierce guardians of their family. Continue reading Fiercely guard your dreams
Did you ever fantasize about what you would do if you could start your life over again? Well, why should our little furry friends be the only ones to get 9 lives? I have been thinking about all the dreams I deferred in order to become a law professor. It may be too late to become an Olympic athlete, butfor a Renaissance girl, it’s never too late to add some interesting new skills or activities to the mix. And thinking about what you would do with 9 lives is one sure-fire way to connect with lost passions!
So here are the top nine, in no order of importance… Continue reading What if humans had 9 lives?
When people hear I am on sabbatical for the next 7 months, they envision me lying on the beach or lounging around the house in my pajamas. After all, the dictionary definition of “sabbatical” is “a period of rest that recurs in regular cycles.”
For some people, just hanging out may seem like a luxury. But not me…I am Renaissance Girl.
To me, a period of rest means the chance to put aside my real job and have the time to explore all the things I haven’t found time to do in the past few years. Continue reading A Sabbatical Unfolds
