business awards and self image

Last night I submitted my application for the Telstra Business Women’s Awards with 9 minutes to spare. OK so I was nominated by the gorgeous Lenore Miller weeks ago but “diamonds are made under pressure” you know! As the dust settled from my screeching dash over the finish line I thought about why I left it to the last minute and the lessons I can share with you from this.

Entering Awards Challenges Your Self  Belief

What goes through your mind at the thought of entering an award? Especially a business award?

In theory you see it as an opportunity and you consciously visualise yourself walking up the stage on presentation night and accepting your winner’s trophy. There is an aura of success around you………….

This week I got a great email from one of our members that made me laugh, and then think seriously. Cath Resnick has booked to join us at The 4th Dimension Workshop in Sydney on 6th to 8th of August. In her email Cath said “I still have to get the final OK from hubby – but he seems pretty OK about it BECAUSE IT IS YOU! (Is convincing hubby the 5th Dimension?).

I laughed out loud at her 5th Dimension joke but you know what? Whether you are male or female and whether your life partner is male or female, we all have the same problem. How do you get the support, or the “buy in” from your significant other?

Getting your partner’s support could be for coming to our workshop (or any workshop for that matter), buying an education program, starting a business, spending the money on your first domain name or getting that new pair of shoes.

It doesn’t even have to involve spending money as time is just as important.

How do you convince your partner that the late nights you spend learning how to set up your online business are a good investment of your time, and their loss of your attention?

personal branding and sitting on the fenceI was having breakfast with a lovely friend of mine (and Faculty Member of Wonderful Web Women) Sharon Tieman the other week and she came out with a classic line. To be honest, Sharon constantly comes out with classic one-liners but this was one that made the light bulb come on for me. “People who sit on the fence for too long, always end up with splinters in their arse”.

The Relationship between Fence Sitting and Personal Branding

I want you think about the people in your industry who stand out as the leaders. There is something about them that draws people to them and often they have a polarising effect in the market. Some people LOVE them and other people can’t stand them. You may even find yourself saying sometimes Read more

I’m going out on a limb here, but it is my opinion that you CANNOT possibly build a successful business without having access to a mastermind group. You look at people you know who have a successful business and every one of them will have access to people to advise them, throw ideas around with and people who expect them to be the best they can be.

I’ve seen first hand numerous times the impact a mastermind group can have on my business, the business of my mentors and those of my students.

There is nothing more powerful to help you grow your business.

I feel so strongly about it that we help all our customers  join one of our mastermind groups. It doesn’t matter if they have purchased our $47 per month Wonderful Web Women membership or our higher end products and mentoring that run into the thousands, we help them you find other people from our community to support you.

I’m a member of 2 mastermind groups myself and another faculty that meets a few times per year to help each other grow our businesses. I can’t imagine being in business without them.

There is a good reason a Mastermind Group is listed as the 9th Step Toward Riches by Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich.

OK so you know this is something I’m passionate about. Let’s look at what a Mastermind group is and how to run one. Read more

If you’re like me you don’t always take the time to really reward yourself for achieving wins in your business. As entrepreneurs we often think “Great that worked, now what’s next”. But if you don’t take the time to really reward yourself and create a ritual around celebrating, you’ll burn out and stop creating value.

In this video I share with you a clever idea suggested by my entrepreneurial friends (and Wonderful Web Women Faculty Members) Stacey Barr and Belinda Jackson. They recognised this common problem and have a wonderful solution. Love to know if you use this simple idea yourself.
