I talk about the term I coined called the Next Evolution in Business, which essentially means that instead of trying to crush your competition, you actually work WITH them!  It is where the future of business is headed.

You probably feel similarly, but sometimes doubt can come up – for example, is it true that the nice guys finish last? Is it only the selfish people that earn top dollar or can the person with heart and there to serve others also be rewarded financially?

There are ebbs and flows with every business, so if that seems to be the case and you’re feeling a little bit down, hopefully this story can offer you some encouragement!

I have been really close friends with a certain Hollywood producer for about 20 years or so.  I used to work in television – where this whole “Nice guys finish last”  attitude was VERY prevalent – and I did not enjoy it! (in fact it’s one of the biggest reasons that I decided to leave that business!)

At any rate, about 5 or 6 years ago I was at a small house party with this producer in Hollywood, and that’s where I met Eric Mabius (the guy that plays fashion editor Daniel Meade on the show Ugly Betty).

He hadn’t gotten the part in Ugly Betty yet – he was just a regular guy at a party with his wife (Ivy Sherman).

We spent practically the whole night chatting, laughing, sharing stories.  He and his wife (then girlfriend) were so much fun and down to earth – it was a pleasure to be in their company! And unlike many of the other “Hollywood types” at the party they related to me well as I didn’t treat them any differently than if they grew up on my block back home.  So we stuck together.

These were so not the ‘typical’ Hollywood folks – Ivy was an incredible artist and showed some of her work – she was talking about starting a business painting murals for children’s rooms – all in all it was just great to chat with this super nice couple!

So while we were talking I started to fix some drinks (as I was the hostess for the party) and then Eric said that one of the drinks he really liked was a Mojito. I had never heard of this drink before, and he was shocked!  His response was, “This cannot continue!” (it was really funny).

Next thing I knew, he grabbed my hand and pulled me outside.  Eric actually jumped the fence to the neighbors backyard to pick some wild mint that was growing there.  Continue Reading

If you’re like most online entrepreneurs & Internet Marketers, you probably upgrade your computers, your telecommunication systems, your office equipment, and your software and database management systems on a fairly regular basis. (I know I’m always one for new gadgets and technology!)

But how do you find the time to keep up with it all? Continue Reading

What's Stopping You?

When I was working my way through university in the summers, I had a job at a totally rustic resort that was only accessible by sea plane – it was that remote!  This place catered to high powered American executives that paid quite a lot to stay in the lodge, fish, and just get away from it all.

There was no TV, no radio – it was a really peaceful place!

I was the only waitress working there, and I actually got to spend a lot of time sitting on the dock just chatting with these guys.  They were CEOs and top executives of some big companies – these guys owned tons of stock and they were very wealthy.

I was a bit intimidated by them because of that at first, but the experiences that I had as I spent time with these people through my summer job showed me that all these guys that were super super successful were really just like me – regular human beings (I know – I was surprised too!

They showed me that there was no difference between me and them.  Even though I was ‘just a waitress’, they never treated me any differently or showed me any less respect, and I learned a lot just from chatting with them!

I mention this because it really served me later on when I got into the business I am in now and started working with these big name gurus – the people on the talk shows, bestselling authors, etc.

I know that a lot of my students kind of feel they are somehow separated from that – that they’re very different or somehow not on that level, which is just so completely not the reality of it!

Successful people feel exactly the same way we do. When they do succeed, they feel happy about it, and failure feels just as bad to them as it does to us!

BUT, the main difference that I have noticed in super successful people is that Continue Reading

Are you lacking energy and enthusiasm? Are you tired of living from pay-check to pay-check?

Maybe you’re tired of 60-hour work weeks. Maybe your work life balance feels more like a pipe dream with the deadlines, pressures and late nights at the office that prevent you from having a happy, balanced home.

Or maybe you’re just burned out from years in the same field and you want to feel inspired again.

If you’re dragging your feet to work every day, is it time to replace the leather in your shoes? Or cash it all in for a better life?

According to a survey by CareerBuilder.com, over 50% of workers feel tremendous stress on the job, and 77% say they feel burnout.

If you can relate to any of this and your professional life is leaving you drained, then perhaps it’s time to re-examine life’s possibilities for you.  You can find a new way of working, earning money, and truly achieving a work life balance.

It may require a complete shift in how you think about earning money. Most people trade TIME for money.

Millionaires, or “Millionaires in TrainingTM (MIT)” look at trading their VALUE for money, thus allowing them to free up their valuable time.

How can you get paid for your value instead of your time? Continue Reading

I read an interesting book called “Blink”1 by Malcolm Gladwell, who was recently called one of the most influential thinkers of our time.

He wrote about “Thin Slicing”, or the ability to get a fast amount of information (in the blink of an eye) when you’ve immersed yourself in its study.

He illustrated this point with a story from the Getty Museum in California. They bought a marble statue for 10 million dollars and had a geologist test the surface of it to make sure it was authentic. After 2 days, the geologist determined that it was.

Then the Museum decided to brag about it.

Shortly thereafter, they were showing the sculpture to Italian Art Historian, Frederico Zeri, who served on the Getty’s board of Trustees, and Evelyn Harrison, one of the world’s foremost experts on Greek Sculpture.

When Zeri was taken down to the museums restoration studio to see the korus, he found himself staring at the sculpture’s fingernails.  They seemed somehow wrong to him, but it was in a way that he couldn’t immediately articulate.

When it was Evelyn’s turn, the curator took her down to the basement, swished the cloth off the top of it and beamed, “Well it isn’t ours yet, but in a couple of weeks it will be.”

To his shock, Evelyn turned to him and said, “I’m sorry”.

She had no idea why she said that, she just had a feeling, a hunch.  You see, these two individuals had spent most of their life pouring over original sculpture and art and had become experts.

Something got recorded in their brain that they were unable to explain.  They absorbed a complicated amount of clues along the way, and it turned into instinct.

This same thing happens to me with marketing, and probably to you within your own expertise.

When these experts looked at the sculpture, right away, in the “blink” of an eye, they instinctively knew it was a fake, although they couldn’t logically explain to the Curator why they had come to that conclusion.

This area of your brain is not connected to your speech.  In 2 seconds, they knew what eventually took the museum 14 months to confirm.

Successful people in business or even in stock investing can often get unexplainable feelings or indications that something is not right or when something is great and they should move on it quickly.

I bet you have your own unique expertise and instincts based on your life experience, hands-on experience and training, and that you could teach that valuable info to another human being who could really use your help and guidance.

What information or skill is literally immersed into your being, your brain that has become your instinct?  Answer that, and your life could change. Continue Reading

FACT: Knowing these common niche marketing myths and understanding those ‘junk in the trunk’ implications is going to make your business easier and much more profitable.

Here’s an example for you: Continue Reading
