I just finished reading a book that I found very helpful. Well, technically, I listened to it….it was an audio book recorded on CDs that I had checked out from the public library. Listening to audio books is one of my favorite ways to “read” books. Here are some ways you might choose to experiment with listening to audio books too.
As business owners we are in a great position to encourage and support good causes in a variety of ways. This categoryof the Cardinal Success Tips shines the spotlight on groups and organizations that are doing good things in the world.
Today’ Spotlight Good Cause is http://FeedingAmerica.org which is a network of local Food Banks all over the United States.They help provide food to hungry children, seniors, and families. Especially now, as holidays are approaching, these organizations provide tremendous service. Most local Food Banks are eager for people in their communities to participate in this good work by sharing their abundance to help others in need. If this is a cause that feels good to you, I encourage you to find out about the Food Bank in your local community. You can help by donating food or money, volunteering your time, or by sharing information about their work. Thank you for making a difference in the world!
November is a great month for small business success! When I
coach my clients who run home-based businesses, I encourage them
to pause for a few minutes in November to ask themselves a couple
of key questions. I’ll share those questions with you here so
that you can reap the benefits too.
Question 1: What is one key project that you would like to make
great progress on, or even to complete, by the end of this year?
This may be a project you are already working on, or a new
business project you have been thinking about. Choose a project
that could make a big difference in your business, or that could
position you well for 2010.
Hi!
Have you ever taken a planning retreat, in a beautiful place, with time to think about your professional and personal goals, with great coaching support throughout the process? And, with plenty of time to relax, eat great food, and even get some spa-type pampering, too?
I returned late last night from a delightful business planning retreat just like this. The location for the retreat was the beautiful Casa Luna Bed and Breakfast in Tucson, Arizona. Check out these pictures:
The retreat was with my coach and with the four other women in my Platinum Coaching Group. Each of us received lots of personalized coaching, and time to plan our next professional steps. We also had some great mastermind time together to share ideas and encouragement for each other.

TEN GREAT WAYS TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS, EVEN DURING THE BUSY HOLIDAY SEASON

Do you want to add a new revenue source to your business?
I have an invitation for you. You may know that I have been learning how to teach teleseminars in my business as a way to add a new revenue stream. Leading teleseminars could be a possible revenue stream for your business too!
My absolute favorite mentor in this area is Alex Mandossian. And he is teaching an intro teleseminar this Thursday, December 7, about how to create and lead teleseminars and make money doing it.
The last week of August is a natural time of change. Even though the weather is still very hot here in central Texas, it won’t last much longer (hooray!). It is time for fall and cool breezes, fresh energy, and new projects for your business.
In the U.S., the Labor Day weekend marks this transition time. For many business people, it can be a great time to take a few days off to refresh and re-energize.
If possible, take a long holiday weekend or even a full week for yourself if you can, especially if you haven’t taken much time off during the summer. It doesn’t matter whether you stay in town or get away.
If you are a small business owner, a great way to grow your business and to get more clients is to take a class or a workshop. Here are some of the benefits you can reap from a class or workshop…
1. Expand your knowledge. You can quickly learn new ideas and concepts in a short amount of time, rather than the more challenging path of learning only from the trial and error of daily experience.
2. Build skills. A class will often include information about actions you can take to apply the concepts you are learning. You can choose the actions that are the best fit for you and your business.
