When it comes to getting speaking gigs, it’s a lot like thinking like a farmer.

Think all a farmer has to do is wait until fall to harvest truckloads of delicious tomatoes or corn or squash? Think again! That farmer has worked hard all year long to prepare for that month or two of reward.

He prepared the ground following last year’s harvest.

The seeds were planted in the spring.

He watered and fertilized and protected his fragile crops from pests and drought and poor weather.

And finally, after months of hard work, he gets to enjoy the results.

Your speaking gig business works the same way, and if you take a page from the farmer’s playbook, you’ll soon be reaping the rewards, too.

Finding true abundance isn't as simple as changing your mindset or asking the universe for it. Instead, it's about discovering your unique blueprint, understanding your passions and strengths, and aligning your actions with your purpose.

Alignment is often misunderstood. It's not about following generic step-by-step processes, but about surrendering, allowing, and being patient. Let go of the search for quick fixes and focus on aligning with your true purpose and values.

Ladies,

Today, I want to debunk a common myth that has plagued aspiring writers for far too long: the notion that starting your first book after the age of 35 is an impossible feat. It's time to challenge this misconception and empower individuals to pursue their writing dreams at any stage of life.

First and foremost, let's acknowledge that creativity knows no age limit. The human mind is a vast wellspring of ideas and imagination, constantly evolving and growing. It doesn't matter if you're 20, 35, or even 55; the capacity to craft captivating stories and weave compelling narratives is not bound by the number of years lived. Some of the greatest literary works were penned by authors who started later in life, defying the notion that writing is a pursuit exclusively reserved for the young.

Focus and attention are powerful tools that determine where we direct our energy and how we perceive the world around us.

Our minds are wired to seek out evidence that supports our existing beliefs and perceptions. When we focus on positivity, we become more attuned to the positive aspects of our lives, and our minds actively seek out more of those experiences. This positive feedback loop reinforces our focus and enhances our overall well-being.

Conversely, if we constantly dwell on …
