Fake it Till You Make It. Savvy Advice or Success Saboteur? It Depends!

Listen to the podcast version here (approx 8 minutes):

If you’re an authenticity advocate or heart-centered woman in business like me you probably cringe at the sound of this phrase.

The idea of faking anything sounds terrible (and inauthentic) but I’ve discovered that the core intention of this advice has a lot of merit.

So, don’t cross your arms here I promise there’s wisdom in this. One of my gifts as a mentor is helping women to expand possibilities – including looking at things from more than one perspective. (It’s a whole new world!)

Another thing I’ve discovered is with most good advice, there is a caveat… [Read more...]

Newly Remastered Believability Makeover Program Starts March 22nd – Register Now!

If you are a woman in business online struggling with overwhelm, confusion, distraction and lack of confidence you need to read this!

The Believability Makeover Program Will Expand What You Believe Is POSSIBLE For You!

.
“Nurture your mind with great thoughts for you will never go any higher than you think.” ~ Benjamin Disraeli

Program Overview:

Do you believe you will succeed?

I mean REALLY believe that you will create the successful business you dream of so you can enjoy the lifestyle rewards that go with it?

Surprisingly most women entrepreneurs – despite jumping head first into a business of their own – don’t REALLY believe they will be successful. They sure HOPE so but once you peel back the layers, in many cases, they haven’t voted themselves in to win.

And there’s more… [Read more...]

New Year Ramp Up (Day 9): When Recycling and Repurposing are NOT Good for Business

To Get Something You Have Never Had, You Must Do Something You Have Never Done. ~ Author Unknown

I think this quote nicely sums up the difference between successful women and those who struggle to achieve their goals. The question I like to ask is “Are you more committed to the status quo or the success you say you want?”

Are you stuck recycling and re-purposing old ideas and been-there-done-that strategies?

As Einstein said “The definition of insanity is doing the same things and expecting different results.”

I’ve become known for my ability to deliver a loving kick-in-the-pants (a.k.a. reality check) for the women in our community. Do you get in your own way a lot? I sure used to. Maybe it’s time for your wake up call too?

To provide a little nudge in the right direction, here’s an invitation to step inside our community of women in business online. One of the free gifts you’ll receive is a SPECIAL REPORT titled: 3 Essential Mindset Shifts for Women in Business Online ~ This is a thought provoking personal account of my personal transformation and 3 vital aha moments that changed everything.

So you know, this freebie is going away soon to be replaced by IAWBO’s Virtual Hope Chest so grab it while you can.

New Year Ramp Up (Day 5): Breakthrough to Online Success eCourse is Coming Soon!

Everyone wins with IAWBO’s guiding mantra for 2011 which is: Get Inspired. Be Inspiring and you’ll see this theme emerge in many of our new programs and resources moving forward.

Watch for FIVE exciting new offerings to emerge early this year. Here’s a sneak peek at one of them now…

Breakthrough to Online Success Strategies (weekly) e-Course: 52+ Surprisingly Simple Ways to Achieve More Online in Record Time. A free weekly ecourse available to association members starting in February.

IAWBO members will receive …

  • One 2-5 Page Lesson Every Week In Downloadable .PDF Format. (Audios & videos on occasion too!)
  • Every lesson subscribes to my K.I.S.S. (Keep It Strategically Simple) philosophy created in such a way that you’ll see results if you actively participate in the program.
  • Much of what you’ll discover inside I’ve never shared anywhere else…

You’re going to love this because:

1) Short And Easy To Digest.

Each lesson is only 2-5 pages in length and contains nothing but REAL content (Relevant, Exact, Applicable, Leading). There is a very real problem these days with “information overload” where the reader simply has too much information to absorb. Each lesson is purposefully brief (but detailed!) so you can consume it quickly and take action.

2) Includes a Take Action Assignment.

Every weekly lesson will conclude with specific action steps for you to complete. Instead of giving you the “here’s what I’ve done”, you’ll get “here’s exactly what to do”.

3) The Series Builds As You Go.

Every lesson builds as your business-building skills do. Early on we’ll discuss the fundamentals of online success. From there, we’ll move into other basics and then intermediate tactics for multiplying and maximizing the profitability (personally and professionally) of your internet-based business. Beginners won’t get lost and veterans won’t get bored.

4) Positions You To Succeed Long-Term.

This isn’t about filling your plate with a ton of information only to leave you to put it all together for yourself, that isn’t how things are setup in this training program. You’ll receive the essentials in bite-sized portions – every week (for 52+ weeks). The benefit is you’ll be more likely to DO something with the content … and more likely to see real results. That’s the golden ticket isn’t it… RESULTS.

5) Motivates You To Make Real Progress.

After a while you’ll be able to look back to see the progress you’ve made by putting theory into practice. You’ll actually be able to see things growing step-by-step because you’ll be following a consistent, weekly plan of action.

Each weekly lesson is designed to be “to the point” and immediately actionable.

Members, your first lesson is coming your way soon…

Not a member yet? IAWBO membership is just $20 a month and the value of this program alone far exceeds the small investment. Plus, it’s just one of many member rewards. You can see them all here.

Keep following the 2011 New Year Ramp Up to hear more about this Get Inspired Be Inspiring focus and the other offerings we have in store to support – and accelerate – the success of women in business online.

Women in Business 2.0 – The Movie!

Ever come across something so fantastic you secretly wish you had thought of it first? THIS is definitely one of those moments for me…

MEGA kudos (high five and a hip bump) to Kim Doyal the brainchild of Women in Business 2.0 – The Movie.

I’m so excited to have the thumbs up to share the trailer with you today AND, stay tuned to the blog as next week I will be hosting a special interview on THE MAKING OF. I cant wait!

Heres the story…

The idea of building an online business no longer has to have a secret formula that only a select few can afford or have access to. You DON’T need to be buddies with the guru’s or have a money tree in the backyard.

REAL women are building REAL businesses on the web.

Re-writing the rules THEIR way.

Living life the way THEY want.

AND … making millions.

View the movie trailer now!

Being motivated and inspired is great- but it’s not enough. We need real life how-tos that we can actually implement. If you’re serious about building your business for the long term, you know it takes work.

What if, while hearing real life stories you could receive practical business advice AND be motivated and inspired to follow in their footsteps?

What would that be worth to you?

From finding out you’re single and pregnant at 34 and becoming a millionaire the same year. This is only part of Loral Langemeier’s story.

From being broke and unable to take out $20 from an ATM, to being named one of Inc 500 fastest growing companies. This is just one piece of Ali Brown’s story.

From being a stay-at-home mom, getting divorced and having to get a job, to building a hugely successful work from home business, working around her kids. This was part of the motivation for Lorrie Morgan-Ferrerro’s story.

These are just 3 out of the 15 amazing real-life stories that are part Women in Business (WIB) 2.0 The Movie.


You need to watch the movie trailer TODAY and ask yourself.

What could YOUR story be?

Go ahead and watch the trailer now.
