Opportunity costs of being scattered in business
A scattered mind produces scattered results in business. Scattered means: “occurring or distributed over widely spaced and irregular intervals in time or space” and “lacking orderly continuity” (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/scattered). If it is taking you longer than anticipated, expected or desired to build your business, then tweaking your focus may be the “next best” step for you at this time. When I saw Donald Trump “live” in person last year, I learned that “lack of focus” was the cause of his financial downfall and near catastrophic ending in the early nineties.

Doing this, I could avoid their overwhelming displays of affection – ranging from wet, sloppy kisses to smothering, inescapable hugs. So, why am I being self-revealing here? – To show you that this is not what it appears to be: fear of intimacy. Deep down, it’s about being in control versus not being in control.

Growing Your Business: 7 Tips to Gracefully Manage the Awkward Stage
When you first learn a new skill, what does it feel like? Can you remember? Are you like a duck that on the surface of the water appears unruffled but who is paddling away furiously underwater?

In the course of your day, how often do you feel emotionally insecure? Are you aware that this feeling holds you back from experiencing the happiness and success you desire in life? In fact, such insecurities can make us feel intimidated or motivate us to become intimidating to, or bully-like with others, and lessen our power to attract more ideal clients and revenues into our business and work. This offensive behavior is often a cover-up for the fear one is feeling. Intimidators seek to control us by making us fearful of them and self-doubting.

What can a burger teach you about business?
When my husband, his family and I recently went out for supper to The Works restaurant in Ottawa, Canada, it was the real deal: We were presented with a selection of close to 70 different hamburgers, and eight different meats that we could choose from. If you love hamburgers, I highly recommend this hamburger heaven! Brad took the prize for being our table’s top entertainer because his hamburger was the messiest: Caramelized onions and BBQ sauce came oozing out every which way from his hamburger with each bite that he took.

Success Comes When You Are Sold on You - the 3 Step Formula
Being a good listener makes you a strong communicator. When I was in direct sales, I became one of the top leaders on our North American team, I think because I was 100 percent committed to, and diligent in achieving my daily goal: to conduct 50 cold calls per week day. As a result of my dedication and success, I was recognized by my team leader and even the #3 income earner within this international company, specifically for having strong phone communication skills. During calls, I would do most of the listening, not most of the talking, as you may have expected me to say.
