Lessons from the Airport

March 21, 2011 By Nancy View Comments

Travelling provides so many opportunities for personal growth. This weekend I travelled to Los Angeles and was given the opportunity to grow over and over again. I’m sure you can relate!

(a) Worry vs. Calm: Arriving at the Fort Lauderdale airport in what I thought would be plenty of time, I faced the longest line I’ve ever seen. As I stood in line surrounded by people complaining about how long the line was, agitated and playing out the multitudes of “what if” scenarios that would occur if they missed their flight, I was faced with a choice. Dive right in and join them in a state of freak out and irritation – OR – let the security staff know my flight departure time so they could handle making sure I got on the plane in time — which they did! (Travel Hint: The security staff usually run through the line to pull out people who have flights departing within 30 minutes.)

(b) Asking for What I Want: No one sitting in the middle seat — something I know we all want! The middle seat was still empty, they closed the cabin doors and “Ahhh…., home free! No one’s sitting in the middle seat.” Then, just when I thought it was a done deal, 3 people come walking down the aisle – taking 2 seats in the row in front of me, and then…oh no! he was going to take my middle seat! I quickly looked around, noticed another middle seat open 2 rows ahead and suggested he take that seat. With a slight hesitation on his part, he looked around and saw the other seat and finally sat down! Yay! Now I’m really home free. (Travel Hint 2: This works when you really pay attention to what is going on around you as the plane fills.)

(c) Going with the Flow: It appeared that I was supposed to change flights to come home early. My business meetings were cut short, it was cold and rainy (hey, I thought it never rains in California?) and coming home early would allow me to get a head start on the the week. After lots of phone calls, waiting on hold and turning on all my charm, I arranged to change my flights, return my rental car to a different airport without a fee and got to the airport with plenty of time to make the new flights – or so I thought. When I got to the airport, they was a mix up, the flight really hadn’t been changed and there were no seats. The rain was coming down hard, the winds were kicking up and the airport was becoming a mad house. There I sat – no car, no hotel, no flight to get home. Hmmm…okay, I guess I was supposed to stay in LA, but why? . (Travel Hint 3: Getting angry with the employees and people around you rarely provides any resolution and can often escalade a situation that could have been turned around with a smile and a deep breath!)

Then I got a call from Beverly, who I hadn’t spoken to in a couple of years and who lives in LA. She spotted me at a movie premiere on Friday night (that I got tickets to at the last minute). (Play the Twilight Zone Theme Now – I actually thought about getting in touch with Beverly but didn’t have her number). Voila! Here it was, Beverly came and picked me up and we spent an amazing day together! We ate at “The Gratitude Cafe” shared deep insightful conversation and some incredible “Ah-Ha” moments.

What will you learn today? Take the opportunity to receive challenges as an opportunity to choose to remain calm, ask for what you want and go with the flow. Wonderful surprises and a more peaceful way of life await you!

Just Do It! Keeping the Motivation and Momentum with Action!

January 9, 2011 By Nancy View Comments

Here we are in week 2 of 2011. I know most of you are full steam ahead and there’s no stopping you now. 2010 is over and you’re welcoming 2011 with a renewed spirit and committment. CONGRATULATIONS – Keep It Up!

Some people I’ve spoken with are having trouble keeping the momentum, staying in action and finding the motivation to get going. Here’s an easy suggestion that you could resist if you want to — but that’s not why you’re here. You want better results than you had last year. You want this year to be the BEST EVER! It is what we do every day that determines our long term success. Try this “Just Do It” approach (yes, like Nike says) and feel the energy, motivation and enthusiasm fuel your goals and dreams.

“Just Do It” Looking for the motivation to get started? Don’t wait for the motivation – just get started. just put on your sneakers for the gym, just pick up the phone and call someone, just start reading a few paragraphs. Action generates feeling (motivation) more often than motivation creates action.

This One’s for You or Maybe …

November 21, 2010 By Nancy View Comments

I received this email this morning and was inspired to share it.

“Thank you so much for yesterday [Heather attended our signature event "Breakfast, Brainstorming & Breakthroughs!"] I told my husband ‘They (the news, lost souls, disillusioned family, friends and co-workers) are lying to us. There is so much love in the world. There is so much abundance and prosperity in the world. There are people living their dream and destiny. There are people who help others and lift people up.’ My life changed yesterday. Thank you for living your dream so we can live ours.”

I’m sharing this with you so you know, that no matter where you are right now, what challenges you may be facing, there are people who care, people who will support you, encourage you and guide you. Feel that. Know it . Ask and it shall be given. Please share this message with someone who may need to hear it right now – and it will make all the difference in their world (and yours).

Shortly after receiving this message via email this morning, I received a “Thank You – perhaps this was a God thing. I just heard from my daughter who’s going through a very difficult time. I’ll forward it to her.”

Feel free to share this message – let’s give thanks for all we have, including the ability to share and spread love, hope and inspiration. After all, “We may not have it all together, but together we can have it all.”

Be inspired. Dream again and access the sparkle within and share your special light with the world.

Here’s the method I used to discover my passion and purpose — enjoy the ride!

Are Your Online Efforts Helping or Hurting Your Results?

August 30, 2010 By Nancy View Comments

We know that Web 2.0, Internet Marketing and Social Media have changed the way we do business. Everyday I meet with clients who are eager to jump into the online world with their marketing efforts. While I completely agree it’s important to have a strong internet presence, for most people it’s far more important to have a face to face or phone to phone relationship with your prospects and clients. What I’ve found is that many people find it easier and less confronting to work at their computer instead of going out to meet people and follow up. And, the result for most is the common complaint I hear “I don’t have enough money, I need more business, more clients and more time!” If you’ve uttered those exact words - I have the solution for you! Pick up the phone and start calling people you’ve recently met, ones you haven’t connected with in a long time and your loyal customers. Build your relationships and build your bank account. It’s really that simple.

“Everything we want in life comes from other people.” There’s no better way to connect with people than letting them know you care by stepping away from the computer and making a human connection!

Hit the Jackpot with the 77*7 Success System!

July 28, 2010 By Nancy View Comments

In my travels as an International Speaker, Business Success Strategist and Founder of Women’s Prosperity Network, here are the challenges I hear most people talk about: (note — it is not the “bad economy”)

(1) Frustrated, broke and don’t know what to do next to create the “shift” to turn their life around.

(2) Tired of being ‘Alone” in business… “I went into business FOR myself – not to be BY myself.”

(3) Confused by the fast pace and rapidly changing world of marketing and experiencing “Information Overload” …. internet marketing, blogging, social media and networking day and night and not getting the results they deserve for all their hard work!

Does that sound familiar?
