Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Henry Ford, “Stopping advertising to save money is like stopping your watch to save time.” Wow, what an essential quote from Henry Ford!  If we stop promoting our business to the world, we will stop growing! This quote hit home for me.  When COVID hit, like many, I had zero income and no idea what would happen to my business.  Pretty darn scary!    In March 2020, I was faced with the exact situation my quote outlines.  I knew I had too many blind spots relating to the digital world and media to ignore and learn about. So, with no income coming in and using our savings, I spent 10s of thousands of dollars to educate myself on potential next steps.    Spending that money made me physically nauseous, yet I knew I needed to move forward for personal and professional growth. Does this sound familiar to you too?     About Joshua T Berglan:  Joshua and I will discuss why media is essential to continue building momentum for business growth and which media platforms to cho

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Jane Goodall, “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”   YouTube: https://youtu.be/rHVXjP-Xbhk   Check Out These Highlights:  As each new year rolls around, I reflect on what the new year will bring.  What skills do I need to continue to develop, and what are my goals for the coming year?  As I age (of course, I’m still 39…lol), I realize how many blind spots I have and how much I still get excited about what I will learn.    This quote hit a cord with me.  I truly live my life from the perspective of adding value and making a difference in the world around me.  Can you imagine if we all approached life from a place of giving and growing?  WOW, magic happens!    About Eric Allan Eaton:  Eric is a hardworking, honest, determined, and self-motivated individual.

Connie's motivational quotes for today is by – Jim Rohn, “You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.” I love this quote. I don’t know about you – I am committed to learning something new every day.    So, part of my lifelong learning routine includes reading first thing every morning so I can continue to challenge myself and grow both personally and professionally. For me personal development is not a choice, it is a critical habit that is needed to achieve overall business success as well as personal happiness in life.    With the amount of information and resources available it’s sometimes hard to determine where to spend our time and money for that personal growth.That is my mission with my two podcasts.  I want to share recognized thought leaders and my trusted colleagues to help you navigate whatever change you are facing right here and right now.    YouTube: https://youtu.be/2T27WdnS7vM   About Tene’ K.

In this week’s episode you will understand what gamification is and why you may need it.     Connie’s motivational quote for today is by Gabe Zichermann, "Gamification is 75% psychology and 25% technology."

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Charles Kettering, “If you have always done it that way, it is probably wrong.” I love this quote.  When COVID hit and the work stopped I know I had to pivot hard and unlearn the many things that I had been doing that worked, that stopped working in one day.    UGH!  So, learning and unlearning, and relearning are needed approaches.  So as a business owner I know I need to keep an open mind, learn new and relevant things every day, and continue to challenge how and why I do the things I do with the thought process of always looking to improve, work smarter not harder, and grow without overwhelm and burnout.    Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/SsnrPYO08uE   About William Gammon:   Bill is the owner and founder of Gammon and Associates.

My motivational quote for today is by – Stewart Stafford, “The greatest gift a parent can give a child is self-confidence.” I am proud of many things I have accomplished in my life.  The thing I am most proud of is being a mom.  For me my mom job has always been the most important job I’ve had.    At time I have felt completely inadequate only to be surprised by something amazing my kids did or watching them interact with others using wonderful communication skills. compassion, and respect.  So, I know I must have done some things right along the way…lol.   Being a working mom and then a small business owner when my kids were young, my husband and I needed to create structure, routines, and clear expectations which allowed us to have a home filled with peace and joy in our family unit.     Watch this interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4t3yPVvBt2Q   About Jose DiCervo:   Jose is the CEO and founder of the MEGA Mentoring framework, entrepreneur creating solutions for families and children for the last 25 ye

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Steve Pavlina, “Recover from negativity, become conscious, live responsibly spiritually, and be present in your personal development.”   YouTube: https://youtu.be/a3IyxWrGVQY   Check Out These Highlights:  I started my business when I was 39 years old and had two babies at home and felt like most of the time I was holding on by a thread of mom and business owner.  I’ve heard people speak about professional and personal lives as separate entities and I have found that truly we are one beautiful, and flawed person who needs to navigate and shift from one perspective to another easily.    Around my 40th birthday, one year into my business, I started to receive emails about the law of attraction and other spiritually driven topics.  I had no idea about these concepts of manifestation and our thoughts becoming reality.  Wow, what an eye-opener.    For the past 20 years, my spiritual and personal growth has helped me manifest a successful business.  Was it an accident? 

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – J. Loren Norris, “If you cannot see where you are going, ask someone who has been there before." What a great quote and reminder that asking for help or advice can help you move forward quickly and efficiently. Mentorship is an important component to help us determine the best next steps when at crossroads in business or career.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Yohance Salimu, “We shine bright so that others may shine brighter.” As I searched for the perfect quote today, I wasn’t sure what I was actually looking for.  Then I read this quote and it came together for me! I believe we all have gifts to share with the world.  Understanding or clearly seeing our own gifts may not always be easy.  You know the saying; you can’t see the forest from the trees?” When we are too close to our own stuff, life, and situation, it is sometimes hard to see things with clarity.   The other thing I liked about this quote was the idea that as we shine brighter, we illuminate the path for others.  For me, it has always been about community and serving others, and believe that together we truly can make an impact on this earth.    YouTube: https://youtu.be/ahJEPCJkV30   About David Richards: This is such a deep conversation that my guest David Richards and I are going to discuss it today, and we are going to talk about his new book, Love Let

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Ayn Rand, “Money is only a tool.  It will take you wherever you wish but will not replace you as the driver.”   YouTube: https://youtu.be/ll0W5Y4kmCU   Check Out These Highlights:  Money is one of my favorite topics to discuss because we all have money issues.  We have beliefs around money from our own experiences throughout our life as well as beliefs that have been handed down by parents, teachers, family members, etc.  I believe we all desire happiness, healthy relationships, and financial freedom.  For many, our financial blueprint is not in alignment with the success we want to create. By understanding our own energy bodies through chakra work and discovering unconscious beliefs, fears, and patterns, and by knowing our unique money archetypes my guest today uses these tools to help us shift from a disempowered to making choices to empower a positive money relationship.    About Janet Key:  Janet is a soulful money coach who empowers women seeking financial fr

I am fascinated with the number of people who seem to work from a reaction versus a proactive perspective when it comes to business.  I also see how some leaders are feeling stuck with all the shifts over the past 2 plus years. My personal style is to move fast, move forward, and approach my business from that proactive vantage point.  My challenge is sometimes I move too fast!  Don’t get me wrong, I understand slowing down to be in the present and reacting to the situation as it unfolds is important too. So how do we find the balance of moving forward with what is the reality of business today versus reacting to the situations as they unfold? Can we become better leaders by making this slight shift in perspective and approach?  It’s all a balancing act, isn’t it?   Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Amit Ray, “Your mind is a flexible mirror, adjust it, to see a better world.”   YouTube: https://youtu.be/QTjuvlLRlrU   About Cheryl Bonini Ellis:   Cheryl is the author of Becoming Deliberate:  Changi

Transformation is such a powerful word to help us create the life we image and desire.  Yet, I am not sure I always know which direction to choose, or which avenue of change is the right next step. I know that I have personally faced disappointment when the change or next step I chose was actually a misstep.  Yet I also know that each step, the right one or not, has still led me to where I am now.

Iyengar, “Change leads to disappointment if it is not sustained.  Transformation is sustained change, and it is achieved through practice."   YouTube: https://youtu.be/oJayNenNevk   About Shawn7 & Queen Kimmie:   Motivational Messages, Music, and Mentorship with Shawn7 aka Geda Lion hip hop artist and videographer.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Pema Chödrön, “Rejoicing in ordinary things is not sentimental or trite. It actually takes guts.”   YouTube: https://youtu.be/9r89lzyRBbY   Check Out These Highlights: What a great quote.  It takes guts to find joy in the little mundane things in life!   I know I feel like I run from one thing to the next every day, and even on the weekend.  Lately, I have been asking myself, “Why do I have so much going on all the time?”   During my entire career and business, I have always been a doer.  As I age, I am realizing that each moment in life is precious.  Yet, I find myself at the end of the day noticing that I’m not pausing enough during the day to appreciate a client call, an email with a joke, or time to run and grab a bit to eat.  Why do I do this to myself? Perhaps you may ask yourself the same question.   About Jacob Aqua: Jacob is a Master in Mindfulness Studies Candidate, a teacher of Cognitively Based Compassion Training, and the co-founder and Chief Mindfuln

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Charles F. Glassman, “Thoughts frame your portrait, action paints it.”   YouTube: https://youtu.be/C45jqz6_eqE   Check Out These Highlights:  What a great quote and reminder that we are truly the master of our thoughts and can create any future we choose with action. Sometimes I feel like we give away our power because we are not sure what the next step is or what action to take.  So, I know, sometimes I hesitate to move forward for fear of making a misstep! What I have learned, is that there are really no missteps especially if we learn from what we perceive as past mistakes.  The other thing I have learned is that action and movement, even if not the perfect choice stills move us closer to our desired outcome or goals.  I think it’s all about movement and tuning into our inner wisdom.     So how do we tune into our inner wisdom?  Glad you asked…    About Laurie Seymour:   Laurie is a Quantum Connection Mentor, 2x international #1 best-selling author, and founder

Connie's motivational quote for today is by — William S. Burroughs, “Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.”   YouTube: https://youtu.be/iYKVoB43d-Q   Check Out These Highlights:  When I read this quote, I felt like it was speaking directly to me.  I move fast all the time and forget to slow down enough to hear and feel the answers I am seeking.    It has been a lifelong challenge for me to slow down enough to allow me to speed up. At first, this concept seemed counterintuitive for me.  As I age this truth of slowing down to speed up is spot on and always allows me to see, hear, or feel what the next correct step is for me, my family, and my business.    The reality is that anxiety is everywhere these days, and the toll is high. You can hardly hear the message above the clamor. Yet a simple, scientifically verified meditation practice can literally end the anxiety, and open the floodgates for success.   About James G. Meade, Ph.D.:   We are going to discuss his ne

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Nicola Yoon, “For most immigrants, moving to a new country is an act of faith. Even if you've heard stories of safety, opportunity, and prosperity, it's still a leap to remove yourself from your own language, people, and country. Your own history. What if the stories weren't true? What if you couldn't adapt? What if you weren't wanted in the new country?”   YouTube: https://youtu.be/87yT44JEUM0   Check Out These Highlights:  Growing up in a very Italian household, provided different perspectives for me that my friends who grew up in households where their parents were American-born didn’t have.   My dad was an engineer by trade and had his own Engineering firm for decades.  He has always been my idol and the lessons learned from him are profound and still serve me today as a business owner for over 2 decades.     Growing up and having this very different perspective, from my friends and colleagues, is why I choose to host two podcasts.  I love sharing other brilli

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Yohance Salimu, “Find your natural rhythm and harmonize with it."   YouTube: https://youtu.be/xgpkXiAmtYg   Check Out These Highlights:   Lately, I have been reflecting on my life, career, business, and level of success.  Being in sales for 40 years I have the expertise to teach others the art and skill of having dynamic and effective sales conversations that convert to business. How did I get to this level of skill?  Great question!    In the past decade, I have realized that hard work is a piece of the puzzle.  Hard work alone doesn’t guarantee a positive outcome. In fact, I feel like the more I pushed forward with determination and effort, when things weren’t going as planned it sometimes made the bad situation even worse.   Being a lifelong learner and interviewing amazing guests on my two podcasts, I get to hear and learn every day about energy, manifestation, slowing down to speed up, and mindfulness.    These were not concepts that I had learned or used dur

I love hosting this show because I get to share some amazing guests with you to help you on your journey of change. The byproduct is that I also get to hear and learn new strategies to help me with the changes I am navigating in my life and business.   Many of us know we need a change, an overhaul of the way we “do” life. We feel the need to move forward but we aren’t sure where to place our feet to take those first steps.   The learning and growing never ends and if we allow new ideas and strategies into our lives and then take the information shared and apply it…TODAY!  I love seeing the magic that we can create together.   Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Sean Higgins, “Every day the clock resets.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Oprah Winfrey, “Every time you state what you want or believe, you’re the first to hear it. It’s a message to both you and others about what you think is possible. Don’t put a ceiling on yourself."   YouTube: https://youtu.be/Qh-e19986zk   Check Out These Highlights:  As I write this introduction and reflect on this quote, I realize the importance of not putting a ceiling on ourselves.  This can be tough for business owners. We are often in our own worlds and minds.   Collaboration, ongoing learning, trial and error, tenacity, having a healthy mindset, and never giving up, are just some of the needed skills we need to tap into as business owners. Having an entrepreneurial mindset can help you start a business but also help you perform at a higher level in your corporate job too.    If you are thinking about starting a side hustle or launching your own business, you are in store for a treat.   About Professor Scott Livengood, a.k.a. the Seinfeld Sensei:  Scott ear
