LUV this!! RT@BestSellerBob: As entrepreneurs our purpose is to bring some joy to the world, the way you do it is by what you create.

Putting finishing touches on an Opinion of Value for a 20 year-old company started by a woman w/a dream and now it's worth nearly $1M! :)

Author of No More Cold Calling Joanne Black says create a system/process to stay connected to your contacts. Never leave it up to chance.

Treat your referral sources like gold. Just had breakfast with a wonderful referral friend who presented my services to 60 referral friends!

Just finished 16 MILES!!!! Oh my GOD. I prayed the whole last mile uphill home...

ReThink Your Process?

I really like this:

RT @BestSellerBob: Exponential is an interesting word. It means rapid and massive growth. You'd have to think outside your normal process.

Health before wealth. Off for a 12 miler. Did you run, walk or gym today? If not, where will the stamina for success come from? No excuses!!

Marketing 101

So many marketing lessons to be learned at a Giants game. Branding EVERYWHERE. Corporate sponsorship EVERYWHERE. Loyalty building through memory building. $5.75 Caramel corn. $4.75 for water. Mom and son at a game on a school night. Doesn't get much better than that and we're glad to go back, and back and back to keep spending money and building a lifetime of memories. Giants understand the ultimate marketing strategy- creating a total experience.

I'm sure I've said this before- Sellers, please have your Lease related ducks in a row (I can help). Landlords kill deals- be prepared!

Beloved Oprah

Just watched Oprah's farewell season premier on my home office flat screen. She is the REAL DEAL. A true gift. This is going to be a season not to miss and never to forget. Sigh.
