How to Choose the Right Business Coach For You - Click To Read Article
Ask any successful business owner, Olympic champion, pageant queen, or executive about their success, and they will likely thank a mentor or coach. So, when you seek out a coach yourself, you can be sure you are in the right track. But, is it just me or is there a new "Speaker, Author, and Coach" on every corner nowadays? Lately it seems that every other person I run into is "launching" their own coaching business. (And they are SMART... because the coaching industry is booming in this "new" economy.) So, how do you choose the right coach for you?

Small Business Growth: Recession Rescue Strategies - Click To Read Article
This week alone, I have heard from two business owners going "under"... literally closing their doors and, of course, blaming the economy. I must say that both of these companies started out with overwhelming debt, and neither had shown a month of profit since opening their doors. They were both open BEFORE the "recession" hit. Both invested heavily in traditional marketing. Both inquired about hiring a business coach, but never felt it worth the investment. THIS is the Darwinian-like "thinning of the herd" that we will continue to observe in "tough times". But you don't have to be one of those eliminated... So, what can you do NOW to rescue your own business today?

Slow Down to Make MORE Money - Click To Read Article
If you are sick of twittering till your thumbs fall off, facebooking and blogging until you have a headache, and networking neurotically, you have to read this article! I can't tell you the number of entrepreneurs I speak to who will tell me all they are doing to "chase success" and then ask, "What else should I be doing?" While I admire their stamina, the truth is that their schedules are already staggering. They already have so much going on, it made me tired just listening to it! But we are ALL busy these days. And if we are NOT experiencing success, doesn't it make sense that we should ADD something to the equation? Not always. Sometimes (most of the time) MORE is simply too much! Sometimes (most of the time) we need to slow down... to make more money, to accomplish more, to succeed wildly!

Monetize Your Message: HOW to profit WILDLY in the new world of Speaking - Part ONE - Click To Read Article
During the golden age of the speaking industry, speakers found themselves being paid to motivate and inspire audiences all over our nation and beyond. Bureau agents presented us to perfect clients and meeting planners wouldn't think of bringing in an inexperienced "green" speaker for an event. We were valued and valuable. Companies and organizations had large training budgets that they would "lose" if they didn't "use". Oh, yes. Business was good. Now, we are seeing a new set of circumstances entirely....long-standing conferences being cancelled due to low participation.... Companies required to justify every $$ they spend are finding it hard to demonstrate the ROI of bringing in a motivational speaker. Speakers in general are being "booked" less often, and far too many speakers have invested LOTS of $$ for far too little return
