Why Networking Gets You Everywhere

We all have that natural strength that we often don’t appreciate as much as we should.

For @Liz Capants, it is networking. She is the queen of networking.

Everything she does involves networking, and she does a lot.

How she discovered she has this natural strength and how she uses it each day, you’ll hear today in the Be the CEO of your Life Show, Soulful Stories Session.

Liz is an amazing person, and she has the most incredible story to tell.

What if? The best antidote against worrying

Do you ever ask yourself what if [insert what you would like to be true]?

We often worry.

Worry about:

– not having enough time
– having too much to do
– where the clients are coming from
– whether any great paying clients will come
and so on.

And before you know it, you talk yourself into the ground. You go from being worried to being annoyed and getting depressed.

Now there is a simple antidote.

Ask yourself the opposite.

Not state, because your brain will find reasons why it can’t happen. Instead, ask yourself, what if it did work? And your brain will find reasons why it indeed will work.

It will lift you up instantly and show you new possibilities.

Tell me what you think or join me live to discuss this in detail with me.

We all have 24 hours in a day; is that enough hours for you?
Or are you constantly running out of time?

We all have choices. Are you making the right ones?

Today was the last day of school for my daughter, a day to say goodbye to some friends moving back to the USA. So many parties.

Friday is also the busiest day in my work; what to do?

I choose to have fun, make memories, and have my work evolve around my life. Instead of the other way around.

You can have it all, have quality time with your family, and work. Enjoy parties with friends and serve your clients.

When you’re telling yourself you can’t, something is off.

Join me today live to learn what you can do to make your 24 hours in a day feel like 48 hours. Or watch the replay later and tell me what you think.

Are you ready for the weekend yet? I know I am!

Happy weekend, don’t forget to be the CEO of your life,

Yvonne

How often do you check your finances?

Today I have been taking a deep dive into my finances, as I am about to make some extra investments in my company.

Before I do that, I need to make sure that the money is available, as I do not want to overcommit.

I have a bookkeeper who helps me and who assists with the tax work, which is great. And I still check my books, balances on a very regular basis.

Because what is in your books may not be the same as what is in your bank account. And what is in your bank account may not be the amount you get to spend.

Do you know your fixed expenses? Private and for your business?

It’s one of the questions I start my coaching with, as it is needed to help you with your financial prognoses. If you don’t know how much money you need to pay to keep your business open and live, how can you know what you need to aim for?

When you check your finances on a regular basis, you will make running your business easier.

How often do you check your finances?

Be the CEO of your life, know how much money you have to spend,

Yvonne

How to sell without feeling icky or gross

You can be great at what you do, attract clients all the time, but when you’re unable to sell your services, you’re in trouble.

Most of us have experienced this once or twice, or endless times, feeling uncomfortable when needing to sell—feeling icky or gross because selling can feel like pushing.

That is not running your business with ease. And because I am all in for running your business with ease, I invited the sales expert Adina to share some nuggets of wisdom with us.

How to sell without feeling icky or gross and still sell? Because it is absolutely possible, I can tell you from experience.

The thing is, we might have to unlearn a thing or two before we actually get to make sales easy for us.

Why cybersecurity is a must for your business

Making your business easy for you and me is what I strive for in my world. That also means eliminating worrying.

Now maybe you’re not worried about your cybersecurity, but you should. Tom Kowalski will explain to you why.

Or perhaps you do think about it now and again, and then you don’t know where to start. So you simply continue your day.

Truth is, it is a considerable risk.

You and your company are facing a considerable risk that is easily avoided.

How you can avoid it is what we’ll talk about today.

Why we shipwrecked on our honeymoon

Have you ever felt ‘something was off’? Your gut tells you, you should not go there? Only to discover that minutes later, that the boat you were on was no match for the waves that came crushing in?

We did, on our honeymoon.

We shipwrecked (yes, we’re still happily married thank you) and we had to get back to shore. The shore where I had that weird feeling in my stomach, that I ignored.
Well, perhaps you have not experienced this in such a dramatic way, but I am pretty sure you sometimes have experienced your intuition telling you to do something.
And maybe you ignored it, only to realize afterward, ah, I already had that feeling.

I should have known better.

It had happened to me lots of times before I started to pay attention.

Before I realized this feeling, something in me that was like a warning system, good and bad, I should listen to it more carefully.

Trial and error for me.

Now, you have that same sixth sense in your business. And that may even be harder to deal with. That is why today we have an expert explain and talk about what it is and how to do it – using your intuition in your business.

Join us live here @ 14:00 Amsterdam, 22:00 Melbourne, 13:00 London, and 8:00 NYC.

How to avoid a brand wedgie?

When was the last time you checked your branding? And when you checked, was what you saw wowing you or dreading you?

Because when you don’t check your branding regularly, it might be that you have a brand wedgie – and we don’t want that, now do we? So this is why your competitor wins all the clients that you are losing.

Friday 25 June, I am speaking to Tracy O’Shaughnessy, who is the branding expert. She’ll tell you to ditch the blah blah and tell it like it is like you are.

Tracy’s famous expression is ‘I don’t do just pretty, I do branding’. When your branding foundation is off, your website doesn’t convert, your sales slow down, and your marketing doesn’t work either. So tune in and find out how to discover what you should do to avoid a brand wedgie.

I know I am very excited about this, join the party!

Tracy, what do you think, should we bring a margarita?

Set a reminder as not to miss ‘the Be the CEO of your Life’, live show, here Friday 25 June @ 18:00 Amsterdam, 17:00 London, noon NYC, and 11:00 am Austin

Be the CEO of your life, be on brand,

Yvonne
