Selling In A Skirt

Change is inevitable. Sometimes change is forced upon us, while other times we initiate it. When you are in a leadership position, others look to you for cues as to how they might manage change. They want to know what the benefits of change might be. What is the power of change that we all have? While change can be difficult, not changing can be fatal. How many now-defunct businesses can you name that chose not to adapt to change. They had the power to change but they didn't.

Build relationships before you need them...easier said than done. Actually it is. Why though? You need to have a community of support who will influence you to be your best and introduce you to their communities, and the cycle continues. Be intentional in your circle and create your Personal Board of Directors that you personally select because of who they are and what their expertise is...You own your company and these become your the beginning of your community of support and influence.

Helping comes in the form of needing and offering. Many times helping others is the easier part. With women, needing and asking for help is the more difficult request. Helping others makes you feel good about yourself and it starts a cycle of others wanting to help others. You will also see deeper gratitude in what you really have...that you might have taken for granted. Helping one person might not change the world, but it could change the world for one person.

There are incredible positions of influence and leadership held by female pioneers and trailblazers. Being known as one of those is awesome and something most don't take credit for. They say "They were simply doing their job"...If you believe you are, or someone tells you that you are, thank them. You had to forget your fear, be willing to give your all, be a role model, change perceptions, stick to your vision while starting from scratch, never give up and sustain your excellence.

We all know that men and women are different in just about everything they do. It may have started on the playground in the way they played, but it follows them into the workplace in the way they work together. Is there a better or worse way or a right or wrong way...Absolutely not. It's just different. How we speak, listen, ask questions, write and convey our ideas can significantly impact our success or lack of it. James Humes said, "The art of communication is the language of leadership."

Why do we say yes when we want to say NO! What would happen if you chose no? Would someone not like you? Would something not get done? Would you possibly be ready for something better? There are many reason why we say yes when we really want to say no including desire to please, not wanting to hurt someone, guilt and the list goes on and on. Many people associate saying no with being rude but once you figure out how to say no with confidence, it is a powerful tool. No is a complete sentence.

Every day we feed our bodies. We don't always give it the right nutrition, but do we ever really consider that when we feed our bodies, we are also feeding our minds? What are we watching? What are we listening to? Who are we listening to? Is your mind getting the proper nutrition from those different platforms? Knowledge is something you can never lose. When you invest in yourself you are investing into your future. Your brain is a muscle so exercise it regularly and feed your mind.

Embracing change in work and life is essential if we want to grow and be a better person than we were yesterday. But..it isn't easy. Why is it so difficult to embrace change? It might be because we don't like the lack of control or what the outcomes might be instead of will be. Maybe is it feeling like we will be embarrassed or have a bruised ego. Worst of all, it might look like we failed. As my blog says, "Change is Inevitable, Growth is Optional", it might be time to love embracing change.

What do you do when you have to make a tough decision? Do you choose not to have them? Do you take a back seat in the decision making process? What do others think about your indecisiveness? Many women do this throughout their personal and professional lives. While collaborating is good, as a leader you have to take a stand and make decisions, even when it's uncomfortable or even when you have to make that tough decision. Making tough decisions can lead to both opportunities and lessons learned This show is broadcast live on Monday's at 1PM ET on W4WN Radio – The Women 4 Women Network (www.w4wn.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).

What barriers are you creating in your mind? Sometimes we create barriers in our minds that are bigger than our goals and a scenario is played out for something that will probably never happen.There are so many reasons that cause us to lose our confidence and feel like the barriers are closing in. When you break through the barriers once, you will realize it was never as bad as you thought it would be. When your "Why" is strong enough, you will be will to do the "How" and eliminate the barriers.

When I started my business I thought I knew it all since I had had other businesses. The interesting thing is that I never shared my shy. I was sharing my what and didn't realize I was upside down and backwards in my thinking. If you don't share you why, your what won't mean a thing to anyone. When I changed my mindset, selling my why made it so much easier to provide my clients with my what. It's a much different approach and one that was the result of questions and listening to their why too.

Women entrepreneurs today are respected and admired for their leadership, intelligence and power. It's not about telling everything you know the first time you open your mouth. It's about sharing your ideas and celebrating your brilliance. Showing your smarts is something women should do, especially leaders...and aren't we all leaders? Time to choose your friends and business associates wisely and stop worrying about what others think. No one can gift you power. You've had it all along...own it~ This show is broadcast live on Monday's at 1PM ET on W4WN Radio – The Women 4 Women Network (www.w4wn.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).

What happens when you are your own worst critic? What happens when you realize that something is holding you back and you aren't sure what it is or how to move forward? Do you know what's holding you back? How can you turn that around? So many times we hang on to our past and we even let it define us. We use our past as a reason to limit ourselves. Your past is your past and it's time to release something or someone so you don't hear the question, "What's holding you back?"

What are the basic things you need to start, grow or succeed in business? Well the first thing you need is to have a PLAN. This is not where you fly by the seat of your pants. That sounds like loads of fun but you need to have some ideas about where you are starting, where you want to go and how you are going to get there. Think of it as your point of reference...your PLAN. The definition is Priorities, Leverage, Access and Network. Your PLAN is not something to be overlooked.
