I’m in beautiful Tucson, Arizona at an event…I love live events. It’s like “coming home” to participate in the magic that happens in a live environment with hundreds of other like-minded people. A friend of mine invited me to join her and several people she knows for dinner last night. I arrived and realized I knew one person and had briefly interacted with two other people in the past few months. (I’m enjoying a Prickly Pear “juice” in the picture to the left.) As I approached this table of mostly unknown faces, my shy self came out and I got to push through the fear of the unknown and connect with these folks at the table. People are often shocked to know that I’m a fairly shy person. Walking into a room with people I don’t know is tough for me. But I do it because I know the pay off is priceless. During dinner we talked. We laughed. There were even a few tears shed. We shared what we were grateful for. There was an enormous amount of support to be received and generated at this table. I looked around and saw the collective capital we all brought…our experience, our expertise, our breakdowns, our breakthroughs….all of it. I was sitting at a 7-figure table. The resources we all were for each other compounded into something extraordinary. And we all got it. This is the value of showing up even when there is that moment of fear of the unfamiliar. Where is your 7-figure table? Are you surrounding yourself with like-minded people who support you? It’s easy to feel...

It’s been a VERY full 30 days since IGNITE Your Spark in March. And now I’m so fortunate to be building my business while I nurture my soul…I’m attending a fantastic event designed for entrepreneurs in a beautiful setting. This is my office for the next two days in beautiful Tucson, Arizona with Kendall Summerhawk and 250 other soul-inspired entrepreneurs. It’s marvelous. I can’t wait for THRIVE Business, my 2 1/2 day event this October in Scottsdale, Arizona. Stay tuned for details…exciting news will be announced this...

I was recently in a room with over 600 entrepreneurs. From stage, the speaker asked everyone who is making over 6 figures to stand up. When I stood up, there were less than 10% of the attendees standing up. This is the thing. If I can do this, seriously anyone can do this. I’m not exaggerating. I’m not being unrealistic. I’m being serious. You can do this. This is how YOU can build a 6-figure business: The Decision Are you hoping for a 6-figure business or have you made the decision that you are creating it? Making a decision doesn’t mean that things will magically fall into place overnight. In fact, after you make the decision, don’t be surprised if you experience some resistance first. Making the decision means you cut off all other possibilities. You do what ever it takes. You do the inner-personal work and you take action. And you do it again, and again, and you tweak the process as you go. When people are committed they do what ever it takes. When people are “interested” then they do what is convenient. This also does not mean that you start a business tomorrow, quit you job right now and “it will all work out.” Be smart about things. Use wisdom. And remember, you are exactly where you are, because consciously or unconsciously, you have decided to be there. Monetizable Business Model and Message: There are two ways to make more money: Sell more stuff or raise the prices on what you are currently selling. I recommend doing both. Is your product or service marketable? Is your...

I just returned from Be the Change 2012, Suzanne Evans‘ 3-day business event. And WOW. To be in a room of 600 other entrepreneurs was exhilarating. One of the coolest moments was when a small group of us were recognized for extraordinary action called the Hell Yeah award. (That’s us on stage in the picture. I’m the fifth from the left on the top row.) The people on stage either had a $10k month, a 6-figure year or a 7-figure year! I was smiling from ear to ear. It was all I could do to just keep it together because it was such a huge honor. Back in my corporate days I loved the company parties, getting recognized for my efforts and celebrating reaching our revenue goals as a company. As an entrepreneur, who celebrates you? This is why two times a year I honor local women-preneurs in my area with a semi-annual “Biz Divas” party in beautiful Park City, Utah. If we don’t celebrate each other, then we’re missing out on a dang good reason to throw a party right? The next semi-annual party is a 2-day celebration on June...
