Organizations routinely measure key performance indicators as part of ongoing and annual data reporting. Beyond typical departmental metrics, it is also within an organization’s best interest to measure and understand how resilient their workforce is. This deeper understanding of employee’s ability to bounce back from difficult and adverse situations allows the organization to strategically strengthen its workforce equipping them to be more prepared to successfully navigate ongoing growth and change.

Rapid and persistent change within an organization can be taxing to individuals, depleting their capacity to implement projects at an optimal organizational level. By assessing baseline resiliency and monitoring this on an ongoing basis helps the organization evaluate if its workforce can take on new challenges or upcoming projects in an effici…

Here is some quick and fast information on, WHO I AM. My friends and business partners always ask me, "why join two opportunities?". I have learned as I watched many of my partners over the years, that you need to FIRST, be healthy. To me it makes since that the healthier you are, is the BEST way to ENJOY financial fitness to the MAX.Healthy body, mind and soul makes all things better. Being Financially fit, makes life, family and friends even more enjoyable. You do not have to agree, but this is how I feel.Plus, retiring early, due to covid, gave me time to step out of what I consider my comfort zone, a job.

In the old days, messages were passed on by foot courier. This courier generally had to walk (or run depending on the message's urgency) for days to get the news across. His responsibility was then to wait for the answer to bring it back to the message's sender. The delivery of a message was subject to the carrier's speed and ability to protect the news until the task was completed. Although the courier was not included in composing the letter, he knew that his contribution was indispensable. On the other end, the receiver of the message was more focused on the content of the news than the one who delivered it.

Today we live in a time in which outward appearances contribute a lot to receiving and processing the message. Marketers have elevated this fact to a high level of art to packaging even the unpleasant things in …

What a daunting title, right? Also the worst nightmare for an overachiever. I am a self-proclaimed overachiever and I know you are too or you wouldn’t have clicked on this. Out of curiosity and the googler that I am, I searched “characteristics of an overachiever.” Number one, self-neglect. That hit me somewhere between my unbalanced heart chakra and my gut!

So many times we aim, strive, and break our backs for greatness. New things are better things. I have to be better than the person next to me. I need to have something to show for my success. All thoughts that have run endless races around the mind of an overachiever. All thoughts that have caused those races to be a circular track with no exit in sight. Constantly reaching to ultimately achieve nothing. When an overachiever misses a win or an opportunity that can bring on shame.…

“Sometimes it takes a heartbreak to shake us awake and help us see we are worth so much more than we’re settling for.” – Mandy Hale

After being in a long term relationship for 5 years or more, you would feel lonely being by yourself. But fear not, that is a normal feeling to have. After all, you thought you had a family, being a good wife and a mom, now faced with uncertainty and pangs of self-worthiness. What you once knew, no longer applies, and you need to develop a new outlook. Often times we look for society, friends and family to dictate the rules we live by. We determine what is considered normal and what is wacky. Growing up, the idea of a family consisted of mom and dad and kids living together under one roof; divorced people were considered defaulted, void, someone who could not love anymore.

But break up ch…

Someone recently asked me, “What’s your #1 piece of advice for someone looking to get started selling on Amazon?”My best advice for beginners just getting started selling online is to start with the end in mind.

There are many different business models to explore in e-commerce. Get familiar with all of the options and the risks and rewards to each, as well as how each model aligns with your personal goals will help you decide which model to start with.

Ask yourself, “What do I want to get out of my experience selling online?” Do you want to build something you can sell or do you need money right now? Do you want to dip your toe and learn the process or dive deep into higher quantities and bigger risks for potentially bigger rewards down the line?

Here’s a basic introduction to the most popular m…

In a world full of noise — especially online, it’s so important to stand out if you want to level-up and get serious about growing your conscious business. Whether you’re a coach, consultant, freelancer, service provider, having a Signature Offer will help you stand out, eliminate competition and make more money. How? read on.

I was recently asked, “who needs a signature offer?”

And while I could easily say “everyone needs a signature offer”, I don’t think that’s necessarily true.

Not everyone will have a signature offer because not everyone is trying to elevate their brand and become THE go-to specialist within their niche for that thing they do.

FIRST OF ALL, WHAT IS A SIGNATURE OFFER?I define “Signature Offer” as the unique expression of how you facilitate transformation within your clients

When it comes to finding new leads for your business, many female entrepreneurs are struggling to create a consistent flow of leads. And it does not need to be this way. Finding leads can be easy when you follow these guidelines.

Continuity pays off.

First of all creating leads should be something that you, your team, or automation give time to daily. You constantly need to be out there to make sure that you work on getting leads daily.

This can be through:

WHAT STAGE ARE YOU IN?

There are 4 stages to how a CEO begins to grow a team and what they spend their time doing. If you don't work on moving up in the stages you usually get stuck in the doing and deciding cycle. Meaning you do all the work, decide to hire people, then spend your day deciding for them, and now you fire them all to just do it yourself. You then start to get overwhelmed and decide it's time to hire people again. Anyone else feel this before?

DOING- are you doing all the work in your business and basically have created an employee job for yourself? you get to a point where you end up doing all the work and start to feel like it's time to hire someone/some people to help you or do the work instead?

DECIDING- you are now not doing much more work but have a team constantly coming to you and …
