In the 4 years since going out on my own, my purpose, mission and strategic direction have all evolved. But one thing remains constant, this philosphy: Tell first, then sell. Figure it out later.
When I declare, share and announce what I'm going to do, it becomes a LOT more likely that I'll actually do it. Not "this is what I HOPE to do," or "this is what I WANT to do," but rather, "this is what I WILL do - with or without you." When we promise something out loud - when we PROCLAIM IT - we're way more likely to take the action needed to deliver on that promise.
 So what am I up to? Nothing less than creating the BIGGEST and BEST women's business event in Miami, that's what: www.EmpoweredWoman.info. There, I said it. There's no going back now...
How about you? What are YOU up to? If you're up to something special, or WANT to be up to something special, you should join us next week (yes, even if you're a man). You'll not find a more inspiring, educational and downright beneficial use of your time.
This is NOT your usual "rah-rah," "woo-woo," "kumbaya" event. This is about developing hard strategies, concrete skills and valuable business connections to transform yourself, your career and your life. Promise.
The keynote speaker is none other than the chief badass herself, Jessica Kizorek, founder of BadassBusinessWomen.org. She gets me in a badass state of mind - and next week, she'll do it for you too.
Want to do more than just "show up?" Awesome! There are still 2 sponsor spots left. Not to mention I could really use a drink at the end of Day One, so if you know a liquor company that wants to throw together a quick a cocktail party, please introduce us.
Oh by the way, that's another lesson I've learned (and continue to learn every day). ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT.
Too often we sit back and wait for things to come to us, for other people to recognize us, for opportunities to "manifest" themselves "Law-of-Attraction-style" on our doorstep. Why wait? What do YOU need? Make THAT your homework in this final stretch before the Summit... Get clear about what want and plan for how you're going to get it.
Which brings me to my 3rd "a-ha" moment in my journey - and perhaps the most important one. You're not in it alone. No [wo]man is an island, though we often try to be. In the beginning I thought I was Wonder Woman, a solo operator. Now I know better. This event wouldn't be what it is without the Board of Advisors who supported it.
Find people who who cheer you on, who believe in you, who CELEBRATE your successes. "Enroll"* them in your vision and then share the action. Bringing in Jessica Lurie (my savior) a year and a half ago transformed my business. Develop that core team of fans and followers who love you and promote you. Get rid of the haters - those who exhaust your energy, suck you dry, blur your vision or snuff out your spirit.
Okay, I'm done preaching. Let's get down to business, shall we? SIGN UP FOR THE SUMMIT ALREADY! Admission to the expo and morning sessions is free, but to guarantee a spot, get a session pass ($10/day) or a VIP pass ($35/day), which we're selling at a rate of about 20/day and accelerating (typical Miami last-minute stuff, you know?). We estimate selling out of the passes by Monday or Tuesday.
By the way MEN ARE WELCOME. We love men. Plus, they just might learn something ;)
And away we go!!
