Have you ever heard of such a thing as Zone of Genius? We are diving deep into it over in the Brand Disruptors Group Coaching Program and I wanted to share with you a bit.

This concept is written about in Gay Hendricks's book The Big Leap. In his book, he defines Zone of Genius as a set of activities YOU are uniquely suited to do, your special gifts and strengths.

Do you know what yours are? Do you believe this is even a thing?This week my clients and I are going in deep to discover their Zones of Genius. The only way that we can become the best versions of ourselves is to live a life centered around this concept.

Here’s what I mean by this:Many of us are doing things that we suck at so that we can save money, especially if you own your own business (am I right?). I know that I have.I am not very good at the minor details and…

My client came to session last week pissed at her husband. 

“He always pressures me to do things even when I say no”.​He wanted to go to a restaurant for dinner and she didn’t want to go. ​ Because of Covid.​​“He just keeps asking and asking and asking until I give in”.​​“I don’t know why he does this, it’s so disrespectful, it’s like he doesn’t ever listen to me”.​​In the session her goal was to solve her husband’s “disrespectful” behavior because she believed “he makes me do things I don’t want to”. ​ ​ ​​This seems like a reasonable thing to want….to want your husband to not nag you when you’ve said no. ​ ​​So I asked her what she wanted to do about that.​​I want him to stop asking me when I’ve said no and just listen to me. ​ ​​Again, seems reasonable.​​But trying to get him to change is what she’s been doing for years and it hasn’t been w…

1. Digital Products Survive Any Epidemic – Yes, we have all learned our lesson from this Coronavirus. Many businesses have already gone bankrupt and many more will be hit. If you sell digital products online, your business is less like to be affected by any epidemic nor by any natural disaster (volcano eruption, tsunamis, earthquakes etc.).

On the contrary, when people are being forced to stay at home (more), they are more likely to surf online and come across your digital products and may end up purchasing them.

2. Low Barrier of Entry – You don’t need a huge amount of money to get started, but you can make a huge amount of money in return once you have launched. In fact, you can create your own online course with a budget of $0 and host it on and e-learning platform called Udemy for example.

I would never recommend you to do that …

So WTH is an Online Business Manager anyway?!? And How can they help me Run my Business like a Boss?

Whenever I tell someone I’m an OBM (aka Online Business Manager), no ever knows what it is I do.

The easiest way to think is it’s literally in the title….a Business Manager who performs their services Online. That’s it! Or another way I like to explain it…a part time COO for Entrepreneurs, helping manage day to day operations and so much more.

Depending on your business, your OBM can be for you a consultant, a systems wizard, manager of your virtual team, sometimes your coach, someone that cheers you on or holds your hand (or both at the same time), listens to you vent, but also helps you pop that champagne and celebrate those wins, girl!

Your virtual COO brings to life your Vision, Goals and Strategy.

Have you considered starting your own blog, perhaps for content marketing? Or have you started one already, but do not know what to write? Writers and content marketers alike often run into these kinds of questions, but answers are available.

Blogging Verses Content Marketing

Note, blogging and content marketing have two different definitions yet remain closely related.

Professionals define content marketing as the creation and distribution of journalistic, valuable, and audience-focused copy aimed at increasing client acquisition.

In contrast, they define blogging as content consistently posted to a specific site, with regular updates to keep the content fresh. Basically, content marketing encompasses blogging, therefore an overlap exists between the two. For a lot of companies, blogging essentially brings…

Nobody, nowhere, no way, and no how could have even dreamed up what we and I mean WE are going thru right now.

For many, the ability to continue working is a blessing and a curse as they are regularly exposed to the Coronavirus. But without them, we wouldn’t have food, medical care, medications, pet needs, and our beloved Amazon shipments.

Some lucky people can conduct what is left of their business virtually via Zoom, Skype, etc. and are currently only seen from the waist up.

So, what to wear when working virtually?

First, be sure to wear the color or colors nearest your face that makes your skin tone look healthy. Now more than ever, you need to give the impression of good health and strength when you’re fortunate enough to have it.

Avoid any color that makes your skin look sallow. Instead, wear colors that mat…

Ladies, I was that WOMAN! I was the woman who claimed that my family always came first. That’s why I worked so hard to create a financially stable environment for my kids right? This is why I went to work at the crack of dawn, returned home in the evening sometimes 7 or 8 pm. I made sure everyone ate, cleaned up what others wouldn’t, and then went to bed, and then put it on repeat the next day. Somewhere in between all that 100000 miles per hour crazy, I was a counselor, secretary, chef, housekeeper, lover, nurse, therapist, you name it, I did it. I was a mother and, wife and I also had a full-time job while attending college. I was a workhorse, chronic workaholic and I functioned that way for all of my children’s lives’. I was always moving fast, and you could not slow me down for anything. I put m…

If I was to ask you to define happiness and success, what would you say? And if I asked your friends and family members, do you think the answer would be the same?Happiness and success are subjective; they're personal and individualistic. It would make no sense to look for them outside of ourselves because they're OURS. Yet we often do. We often expect others to make us feel happy or successful. Or we look to other people’s definitions of happiness or success in order to follow them. That’s like asking someone for the manual of their coffee machine so you can use it to operate your smoothie maker or vacuum cleaner.So when it comes to defining happiness and success, YOU create your own definition. Yes, you can be inspired by others. Just also remember that you are beautifully unique and YOU get to decide how you want to spend y…

SEO vs. Social Media Marketing - Which is Better?

With online marketing, there’s a debate raging among experts over which strategy is best to grow your business.

Would SEO or social media marketing be the better option?

Often, businesses will hire an SEO expert or agency to increase their visibility in the search engines without even thinking about social media and the traffic that it can bring to their business.

Similarly, there are those who focus their attention entirely on building a social media following without spending any time on SEO.

Let’s compare both strategies to see which option is best.

Targeting an Audience

To bring in relevant traffic and sales, it’s important to be able to target a specific audience. It is definitely easier to target an appropriate audience on …

Met a fabulous person some day in the past who had been blogging for three years intermittently but never bothered to give the blog a purpose. She was surprised that a blog could actually be purposed. In her words “The purpose of the blog is that I write and people read”. But what do you get out of it, Alice? (not real name) I mean other that ‘satisfaction and happiness’? Alice had no words.

So, I had been given this herculean task of finding purposes for blogs.

Needless to say, you need traffic flying into your blog on a regular basis or you need a very strong paid advertising strategy to make money on your blog. Join me on my course “Blogging for Business” where I teach a few tips and tricks. Well, it’s a hands on intensive workshop where you’ll actually create a course and do stuff around it to get it ready to make money. Read more
