Inspiration is...

Inspiration is... When the hair on our skin stands straight up... When we hear that song that makes us hum along... The moment when a small child throws her arms around us whispering, "I love you"... When our adult children sit with us and tell us we were right all along, and our hearts overflow because we wish we weren’t.

Every morning as we get ready for the day ahead we muster our confidence. Some of us are beaten down by jobs we can’t stand. Some of us can’t end the workday at a decent time because we are so excited by what we do. Some of us are facing very difficult hardships and are trying to reinvent ourselves at this very moment.

Let’s do something that inspires us, boosts our confidence, and gets us more cash to do the things we love to do.

For years I have been a subscriber to Success magazine. It is a publication dedicated to personal growth. I read about and listen to influencers from all walks of life—from internet marketing gurus to the founder of SPANX. It is fascinating to hear how others rose to the top, and you can never predict when someone will say something that just clicks with you. When that sentence is uttered and it makes so much sense, you say AHA!

As you know, there are two things I am passionate about: Balanced Leadership and Creative Entrepreneurship. Looking at these two areas as a single unit, I would say there are three major areas of struggle:

1.   The first is to find more clients. Without clients you have an idea but no business. If you are employed, there are ways to find more business and boost your bottom line with creative ideas. And who doesn’t need that?

2.   The second is to have moreconfidence. Especially women struggle with the issue of confidence. During trying times it can be hard to pump yourself up when things get tough.

3.   The third is to get more cash. Having to live by a budget all the time is tough. Wouldn’t it be great to learn about ideas on how to increase our incomes so we can live a little easier?

Because I am such a big believer in both inspiration and mapping out strategies, I am putting together the biggest event of my career! We will address the three vital elements described above.

It is called Your Business Master Course: More Clients - More Confidence - More Cash, and you can join us on November 2-3-4, 2016 compliments of 12 Master Teachers. The course will be broadcasted online so you can participate wherever you are.

Over the next six weeks I will be profiling some of the amazing master teachers who will share the very secrets they used in their own businesses. Many of them run million dollar enterprises. Some of them do multiples of that.

While we are still building the platform for the event, we have put together the sign-up page so you can reserve your seat. Please make sure to register as soon as possible because there are limited seats available. We are expecting thousands of people will want to join.

Why am I facilitating this Master Course? As I said, I like supporting women and Creatives. I have built relationships over a number of years with very talented folks, so I called on my friends and said, "Let’s do something about this!"

Now, please allow me to introduce the first two Master Teachers.
