Harvest Time    
 sweater
I love, love, love the cooler weather! I celebrate the season's first fire in the fireplace and dig out my favorite sweaters... and use the season change as an excuse to shop for my new favorite, long sweater-coats! 
 
Fall is also the time of Harvest.  Economic challenges may have us thinking the harvest must be small, but do not believe it. There is abundance if you attract it. What do you need in order to reap your harvest this year?  Who do you need to reach with your idea, service, product or message?  How will you do it?
 
Start by solidifying your message; when someone asks what you do, have an answer that will intrigue and propel the conversation forward.
 
Even if you aren't ready to host your own TV show, think about hosting your harvest!  What can you do to add charisma to your presentation of your business?
This issue's article may give you some ideas....
 
Enjoy the autumn weather, the fresh apple cider and the open road to your increased success!
 
                                    
 
Hello
A New Way to Create Your Elevator Speech
 
I shared a  fantastic Saturday with a small group of amazing women in business.  Each of them had a story that was so intriguing and each possessed a passion for what they did that seemed to make them just shine when they had the opportunity to talk in length about what they did.  When it came time to give a concise definition of their unique business, however, I saw a problem across the board.  
 
Here was a group of fascinating, dedicated, and extremely professional women that were missing opportunities to increase their recognition and income! 
 
We all can benefit from getting our message compressed into a great little "commercial". You can call it the "elevator speech" or "30 second pitch' (my least favorite title for this, by the way) but having a great one is crucial to career advancement, and having a repertoire of these little gems is invaluable. Makes sense, right?
 
What you may not realize is that perfecting your delivery of your "commercial" on camera can be a huge benefit to your growth.  It doesn't matter if you think you are not yet ready for "prime time" TV because nothing can increase confidence in the delivery of your message faster than watching yourself in real time.
 
Here's how it works...
