America’s Happiest Woman

4. January 2012

OMG I can’t handle another goal-setting exercise this time of year! I prefer to believe that I am perfect just the way I am (And I believe that you are, too!) Instead of New Year’s resolutions or making plans to get what you want, why not just decide today to be happy now? On [...]

Why I Work With Michael Jordan

23. November 2011

7 Comments

If you had a choice, would you prefer to learn how to play basketball from Michael Jordan or from a benchwarmer on your local high school junior varsity team? The answer is obvious: Michael Jordan would offer much more ability, knowledge, and experience as a coach than a teenage amateur. The same goes for your [...]

I’m A Bad Mom

Today I handed my daughter to a stranger, and even though she immediately started crying, I just walked away. That was about ten minutes ago. “Complete stranger” might be a bit dramatic, but it’s perfectly suited for a day that has been filled with drama. See, the stranger was my new babysitter Brittany. And in [...]

Andy Rooney Drops Dead

Okay so Andy Rooney didn’t drop dead… But the grumpy nonagenarian, made famous by his “60 Minutes” laments, did say that the only way he’d leave the show would be if he “dropped dead”. Well, he’s gone from the show… but he’s still here amongst the living! And I was one of the 16 million viewers who [...]

I’m So Over People Like YOU

Are you like these cynical prospects I’ve been talking to lately? You’ve been burned in network marketing before… You have wasted money on leads that didn’t pan out… And you know FOR SURE that it takes money to make money. Oh, really? Well if that’s what you believe, thank you for enlightening me! I will [...]

Christina Aguilera Wants To Mentor You

After record ratings for NBC last night, I know I wasn’t the only one curious enough to check out “The Voice”. Did you watch the new vocal talent reality TV show, too? Or were you able to resist the mass marketing that hooked me like a little fish! In my defense, I watched partly because [...]

Is Your Business Missing This?

13. April 2011

I can’t believe I forgot this! (I’m so embarrassed…) And I feel like I owe my team a huge apology! I’ve created such an awesome life out of practicing this one principle… and somewhere along the way I forgot to fully integrate it into my business. Major OOPS! Sometimes it takes a smack with a [...]

One Down, Three To Go

Holy moly, how did this happen? It’s almost APRIL?!? But I just took down my Christmas tree! (Didn’t you, too?) Well anyway… this end-of-month is much more significant than just any old “May 30th” or “August 31st”. And you’d be amiss if you didn’t take it seriously. So in case you’re in the dark, allow [...]

You’re Not Crazy… Enough!

Right after my sponsor signed me up in her downline, she promptly informed me of an event I needed to attend to learn how to grow my business. I live in California… And the event was in Nashville. I was in my early twenties, and traveling solo was not in the realm of my comprehension. [...]

“The Magic Of Thinking Big” Book Review

2. March 2011

Last month I met my absolute favorite author ever, the incredibly talented and sexy Mr. Timothy Ferriss. (Don’t worry, my equally sexy and hunky husband doesn’t read my blog!) After chatting for a few minutes I asked Tim for some business advice, and he gave me a homework assignment: to read “The Magic of Thinking [...]
