A Great Day to Commit

Posted By Donna on November 4th, 2008 at 02:23

I went to vote today and I was thrilled to see the number of folks that showed up.  I waited an hour and fifteen minutes which is really not too bad.  As I stood in line and listened to all of the conversations going on around me I was saddened by the tone and discussions.  Most people are focused on what is going wrong in the country and their own private worlds.  People talking about being out of work, worried about health care and the state of our economy.  As I stood there I was inspired and feeling good about what is going on.  I have never seen a line at the location where I vote, there was such a mix of age groups represented.  I found all of this to be a good thing.  We have become too lazy as a nation and we have taken our freedoms for granted.  I believe we all create our own realities.  I am not saying that many are not facing challenges today.  I believe we are all being tested.  But I also believe we have a choice in how we respond to those challenges.

This afternoon when I opened my email one of my messages was from Yanik Silver and I thought one line in his email was at the foundation of my own beliefs.

“Election Day is the perfect day to claim your own independence and write your own ticket!”

I want to challenge you to claim your commitment to your own success, today!  We are making history today at the poles no matter what the outcome.  That is exciting.  We have so much to be grateful for as we are truly blessed in this country.  Decide right now that you are going to create the success you deserve and take the steps necessary to make it a reality.  Start right now preparing for a fabulous 2009.  Search out the support and resources you need to put yourself on a path of success.  Today is the day to begin.

One of the most proven methods for great success is through taking advantage of the power of a MasterMind group.  If you have read Think and Grow Rich then you know that Napoleon Hill believed the MasterMind is an incredible resource.  I would like to invite you to check out my MasterMind program I think you will be blown away by the value.

Claim your independence today!

Don’t Just Survive But Thrive

Posted By Donna on October 30th, 2008 at 07:20

Now is not the time for solopreneurs to pull back and stop marketing themselves. That is what a lot of folks will do out of fear, and the results will be devastating. This is the time to get focused and market yourself even more. Because many will pull back you will absolutely stand out from the crowd. Implement these 6 steps in your business and stay in the black in today’s economy.

1. Take care of yourself. Schedule that physical exam you’ve been putting off and make sure you get exercise and take care of any personal issues that are troubling you. Taking care of mind, body and spirit will increase your confidence. Confidence is key to growing your business.

2. Stay in Control. Don’t wait until you’re in the red. Take a real hard look at your expenses. What can you eliminate? Can you find a better deal or re-negotiate with current contractors? Need a great tool for checking on your financial situation? Financial forecasting software for solopreneurs check it out http://www.survivalware.com/.

3. Keep Positive. Hold the big picture in your sights. If you only see what is wrong, that is the only thing you will attract to yourself. “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” Winston Churchill

4. Reinvent. Create new products or services – or re-create old ones. Talk with your target market, what is their biggest challenge today? How can you help to solve that problem? Be proactive. Use this time when others are stuck to get creative and become your ideal clients problem solver.

5. Don’t Do It Alone! Get support from family, friends, coaches, and fellow solopreneurs. Join a group. A great group like the International Association of Solopreneurs. http://www.solopreneurs.org. Connecting with like-minded people can be empowering.

6. Keep Growing! It is important for you to keep growing. How many books can you read in a month related to your expertise? Never assume you know all there is to know. Learning is empowering and energizing. Keeping on top of your industry during the tough times will put you on top of your industry in the good times.

Take advantage of this market to not only survive, but your solo business can thrive in this marketplace. It is all a choice. What will you choose?
