I’m a recovering perfectionist who now lives and breathes the 80/20 rule. You’ll get 80% of your results from just 20% of your efforts so work out what that 20% is and cut out the rest.

Here’s an example. Today I shot 5 videos to be used on my website sales pages and to send you messages while I am away in Thailand for the most of April. One take, minimal script, no edits and nothing fancy. Over and done in 30 minutes then another 30 or so to upload. Sure they’re not slick and professional but they get the message across and they are authentically me. And importantly….they’re done. What have you been putting off because it needs to be perfect?

OK, so some takes just don’t work. Thought I’d share with you a blooper that didn’t even make it past the 5 second mark :)

Today I interviewed Michelle DeKinder-Smith about the research she has done with thousands of women entrepreneurs. Michelle has identified 5 very distinct personality profiles for women in business and I must tell you, it was a bit spooky as she described each type and their challenges. You see, we are not fixed in one type. This is very much about your approach to business and stages you move through and I could identify that I have been in 4 of the 5 profiles at different times in my business.

It was a bit like having your horoscope read!

I’ll describe each type below and see if you can identify which of the profiles fit you. There may be profiles for where you have been, where you are now and where you’d like to head. Michelle calls them the “5  Janes” from her “Jane Out Of The Box”.

You can take this quick (and free) survey to find out which Jane you are and get some great advice on what steps to take to meet the common challenges of that Jane type. I’d love to know what you learn. Read more

Today I want to share with you a concept that is absolutely essential for the success of your business. In fact it is essential for success in all areas of your life. A big claim? Let me tell you a story about my fridge and then you can decide for yourself :)

PinkFridgeThe Fridge Door

Refrigerators are like a great whiteboard in the kitchen. We always have whiteboard markers on top of the fridge and use that lovely clean surface to write messages or display a countdown to the next big family event (it now says there are 43 days until we fly to Thailand).

For a long time, it was used to teach our children an important concept. Well, OK it was also to remind myself of its importance. Here’s what was on the fridge… Read more

John Assaraf, Mark Victor Hansen, Janet Beckers…

A couple from Vancouver, Sue and Steve Soucy, made a monumental decision last year. They’re going to be millionaires. They’re so serious about this they both abandoned their careers to pursue financial freedom full time. Pretty gutsy move in the face of this global recession.

That’s not all. They’ve gone viral. The entire Internet community is watching (or will be soon). And that’s the whole idea. They’re documenting the entire journey. And they’re beginning by asking lots of questions. That’s where I come in.

I’m honoured to be one of 10 entrepreneurs Sue and Steve have tapped to mentor them. We’ll do it in webinar format. An hour a day for ten days. That’s where you come in. You get to eaves drop, ask questions and get involved for free. There are already more than 3000 people registered and it doesn’t start for a few days yet.
