Zainab Salbi, Activist + Author of “Freedom is an Inside Job” — Glambition Radio Episode 152 with Ali Brown

BY ALI BROWN | October 10, 2018 Leave A Comment

Activist and social entrepreneur Zainab Salbi has dedicated her life to helping women survivors of war rebuild their lives and communities. As a victim herself of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein’s abuse, Zainab immigrated to the U.S., and at only 23 she founded Women for Women International.

But here’s why I REALLY wanted to have her on the show today… Despite an incredibly impactful career helping women find their freedom, Zainab didn’t feel free herself. In creating and growing this huge mission, her role within the organization had become ‘her own monster’. She found herself eventually working so hard and so unfulfilled that she neared a complete breakdown.

And on this powerful episode of #GlambitionRadio, Zainab shares the insightful realization she had: She needed to share her secrets in order to find her power. (Listen now at GlambitionRadio.com to understand what she means.)

On the show, I have Zainab walk us through how she was able to tell her truth, fully and authentically, all of which is documented in her latest book “Freedom is an Inside Job”. And it’s an honor to have her on the show today, as I was so in awe of meeting her on Richard Branson’s Necker Island seven years ago during a private ‘New Frontiers in Philanthropy’ event. (I tell the story in the show intro.)

Having been named as one of the women changing the world by leading publications such as Newsweek to People Magazine, Zainab’s 30-year career has empowered women and marginalized voices around the world. Today Zainab is the Executive Editor and host of the acclaimed PBS series “#MeToo, Now What”, as well as “The Zainab Salbi Project” with The Huffington Post and AOL, and “The Nida’a Show” with TLC Arabia.

On the show, we also discuss:

*The moment she knew it was time to step down from leading Women for Women International, but how terrified she was to admit it (this is something we all need to hear)

*Why you DON’T have to compromise yourself for your “goal” (she says even your biggest dreams won’t require you to self-sacrifice—wow—this a new feminine leadership manifesto)

*How contraction can be just as valuable as expansion – especially as you’re reaching your goals (you won’t hear this anywhere else)

*The need for a new value system—for the sake of ourselves… and the world

Zainab and I also discuss the importance of carving out time for yourself every day, why you should stop making yourself small to make others happy, and the significance to dare to do what you believe is true.

Christy Whitman, Coach + Author of ‘Quantum Success’ — Glambition Radio Episode 151 with Ali Brown

BY ALI BROWN | September 26, 2018 Leave A Comment

My guest this week used to be unhappy in just about every area of her life. She was 30 pounds overweight, nearly $60,000 in debt working a job she hated, and she believed, like most do, that if her external circumstances shifted, she’d finally be happy. But she discovered it was actually time to look inward.

And that led Christy Whitman on a trajectory of not only changing her life, but becoming a renowned transformational coach and two-time New York Times best-selling author. If you’re feeling in a “rut” with your business (or within yourself!), this #GlambitionRadio episode is a must listen!

On the show Christy shares how we are currently in the “age of abundance” and we have the power to either attract or repel energy. In other words, YOU can manifest your dreams right here and now, and her recipe for success is shared in her new book ‘Quantum Success: 7 Essential Laws for a Thriving, Joyful and Prosperous Relationship with Work and Money’.

Through Christy’s personalized coaching programs, she has helped thousands of people from around the world achieve their goals. She has appeared on The Today Show and The Morning Show and her work has been featured in People Magazine, Seventeen, and other publications, to name a few.

On the show, Christy and I discuss:

*How she dug deep to find out what was causing her anxiety… instead of trying to suppress the feeling

*The critical concept of the upward spiral of success (I LOVE this, and haven’t heard it described this way before)

*How to own your power to create your own thoughts

*Why to choose ALIGNMENT over linear goals (this echoes what I’ve been sharing for the last few years; spot on)

*Why you need to give yourself permission to let go (especially if it’s draining your energy)

Christy and I also discuss the importance shifting negative thoughts into abundance, why we need to create a vision statement for our life and business, as well as whether you should self-publish a book or try to score a deal with a big publishing house.

Petra Kolber, Author of The Perfection Detox + Fitness Expert — Glambition Radio Episode 150 with Ali Brown

BY ALI BROWN | September 12, 2018 Leave A Comment

It was 1996. The Macarena was in full swing. Prince Charles and Princess Diana finalized their divorce. Mission Impossible with Tom Cruise debuted in theaters worldwide. And Reebok STEP was in full fitness force. I know because I was an instructor. And when I first moved to New York, I mailed a letter to this fantastic British woman I’d seen in the STEP videos. Her name was Petra Kolber. I wanted to see if—by some crazy chance—she’d be willing to have coffee with little ol’ Ali Brown, as I was considering teaching classes in the city. To my amazement, she responded with a YES, and… well, you have to hear the details in today’s #GlambitionRadio.

Because you see, we then pretty much forgot about each other. Then, fast forward to this past May, I received a lovely letter from a woman named Petra Kolber, saying she had a new book coming out and would love to be on my show. She didn’t realize I was the same Ali Brown. And I didn’t recognize her name at first. You have to hear the story! And now… here we are.

And I LOVE her new book: The Perfection Detox: Tame Your Inner Critic, Live Bravely, and Unleash Your Joy. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough or you’re not doing enough, you are going to love her message she shares on today’s show.

I have Petra walk us through how her career as an internationally renowned fitness expert (including being the global face and voice of Reebok) led to her having panic attacks and craving something more. This led to her writing The Perfection Detox — her 21-step process reveals how we can let go of perfectionism and gain our freedom back.

On the show, we also discuss:

* exactly what is standing in between you and your potential

*how to tell if perfectionism is hurting or helping you (it can do both)

*the importance of tuning in to the static between your heart and your head

*how the pitfalls of social media relate to our perfectionist tendencies (and how to curb them)

*how our heart can’t separate the difference between what we’re seeing ‘on screen’ and what we’re really going through in life (and what to do about it)

* the best bit of advice she received at the beginning of her career (it’s simple but SO true)

* details about Petra’s 10-year career as a fitness athlete, traveling around the world with Reebok

*Petra’s thoughts on the importance of the need for women entrepreneurs especially to detox from toxic perfectionism

Petra and I also discuss the importance of asking for help, why you shouldn’t take it personally if someone says no, and why you should stay humble, enjoy the ride, and serve your success forward.

Did you catch these?

BY ALI BROWN | September 10, 2018 Leave A Comment

Did you get to listen to these recent episodes of Glambition® Radio?

I wanted to send a quick update just in case you hadn’t. Because seriously this show just keeps getting better.

Amazing guests. Provocative topics. Powerful conversations.

Here are our latest episodes. Descriptions are below.

Here’s a bit about each of these episodes…

* Sheri Salata – She had a career many would kill for — a 20-year exhilarating career serving as Executive Producer of The Oprah Winfrey Show, and later as the Co-President of Harpo Studios and OWN. But Sheri recently decided to make the biggest ‘exit’ of her life. Why? She shares on the show. You’ll love how real and funny she is in sharing the juicy details of her stories. She’s quite honest how much she sacrificed for the high-pressure job. (It sounds like she barely slept in 20 years!) But would she do it all again? YES. Because it led her in the direction to what I call her ‘iconic work’.

* Amanda Tress – Meet my Premier client who just enjoyed her first million-dollar MONTH. Her story and drive are incredible. But on this show you’ll also hear MY very personal story on how I lost 25 pounds over the last three months, and it was easier and more enjoyable than I ever thought possible, thanks to her program. On this episode, I have Amanda walk us through her own body and business transformation, but also how she has taken her business from the multiple six-figures when we first met last summer to now a MULTI-MILLION dollar company, in less than a year. (And if you want to jump to her fat loss program, go here.)

* Kim Lyons – You know her as a star trainer on ‘The Biggest Loser’, founder of the Bionic Body brand (sold nationwide including in Target), and an all-around famous fitness inspiration. But did you know that Kim Lyons’ secret to success was… failure? On this episode, she shares the REAL story of how she went from flight school graduate to personal trainer to NBC primetime and then creator of her own destiny with her own brand and mission. This was one of my favorite and most fun conversations on #GlambitionRadio of all time!

* Ali Brown – The advice I share this show is CRITICAL for those of you who are beyond the beginning years of your business. And it’s a generous sneak preview of the content I’ll be leading at ‘ICONIC with Ali Brown’ in Phoenix on November 7+8. In past episodes, I’ve addressed the online insanity and overflowing market saturation and noise we’re encountering in most every industry. And in this episode, I’m going to show you how to not only position yourself way beyond that mess, but also how to start feeling into the powerful next chapter of your career.

* Kate White – During her 14 years as the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitanmagazine, she increased overall circulation by 30%, making Cosmo the #1 magazine in the U.S during that time. But I’m having Kate back on the show because her career books have changed my life since I began reading them in the mid-90s. And you’ll hear all about her latest ‘Gutsy Girl Handbook’, on this episode of #GlambitionRadio. You may have a successful business or career, but it’s simply not enough to do what you’ve been told, or to do what you’ve always done. The key is to take it to that next level ahead of everyone else, and Kate explains how.

* Randi Zuckerberg – You know the last name. But do you really know Randi? Since leaving Facebook in 2011, she’s piled up a varied stack of her own accomplishments, including a weekly tech radio show, two TV shows, a series of angel investments, producing three Broadway shows, and even a six-week stint starring Rock of Ages. But she fast learned that entrepreneurship combined with motherhood came with incredible demands of time and bandwidth. How to manage? Even with good help and a great team? Her solution? Pick three. Hear about this refreshing take on prioritizing on this episode of #GlambitionRadio.

Angelique Rewers, CEO of The Corporate Agent — Glambition Radio Episode 149 with Ali Brown

BY ALI BROWN | August 29, 2018 Leave A Comment

After pulling all-nighters in her job at a global corporate consulting firm, a major hospitalization woke up Angelique Rewers to seek her own path. Her first step was launching her own boutique agency. But today, as The Corporate Agent, she mentors entrepreneurs from around the world helping them land corporate contracts. She’s sharing her journey on the show today, step by step. And I’m honored that on this episode of #GlambitionRadio, Angelique also reveals how pivotal my coaching was during that big transition she made. (In some ways I didn’t even realize until our conversation today.)

Angelique and her team have trained and mentored more than 3,500 start-ups and self-employed professionals across 72+ countries in how to land and work with corporate clients. Her insights have led organizations such as USAID, National Geographic, and The Smithsonian to seek her consulting for entrepreneurs across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. And she’s been featured in Forbes, The Washington Post, CBS, and many more media outlets.

On the episode, we also discuss:

*the moment she took in a huge criticism lobbed at her and transformed it into a huge advantage

*how she’s built critical relationships with the media to get unusually high coverage on her brand and business (this insight alone is worth hearing the episode)

*how to stand out within all the noise out there — and your answer is NOT ‘more content’ (I agree wholeheartedly on this one)

*why when everyone else is zigging, you have to zag, and how she made this decision when everyone else was telling her to ‘blend in’

*the ripple effect she experienced after speaking at my SHINE event in 2010 (she walks through the evolution of herself and her business)

*why saying YES to everything will HURT your business

*And how it really is working with your husband while managing twin 9-year-olds!

Angelique and I also discuss the importance of leaning into BOLD decision making, why you should be comfortable in your own skin, and coming to terms with the fact that you will make mistakes, (and that’s okay).

I know you’ll get a lot out of this episode. So head over to iTunes and listen to this episode of Glambition Radio now (or download for later).

Sheri Salata, Former President of Oprah Winfrey Network + Harpo — Glambition Radio Episode 148 with Ali Brown

BY ALI BROWN | August 15, 2018 Leave A Comment

Sheri Salata had a dream job that many would kill for — a 20-year exhilarating career serving as Executive Producer of The Oprah Winfrey Show, and later as the Co-President of Harpo Studios and OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. On this #GlambitionRadio episode, I first have Sheri walk us through how she landed her dream job with Oprah. (She explains how it was destiny.) And then, why she recently decided to make the biggest ‘exit’ of her life. You’ll love how real and delightful she is in sharing the juicy details of this story.

My favorite fact? Sheri finally landed the initial position with O’s team when they were cleaning out an old closet and found her resume and VHS tape, and asked if she could come in to interview for a producer position. And that’s when she knew, this was it.

Being the Executive Producer for Oprah may sound glamorous, but Sheri shares how she sacrificed for the high-pressure job. (It sounds like she barely slept in 20 years!) But would she do it all again? YES. Because it led her in the direction to what I call her ‘iconic work’.

Today, Sheri hosts the popular ‘This is Fifty’ podcast with her soulmate friend of 28 years, Nancy Hala, which is all about recreating the middle of your life. The duo are also chief visionaries of The Pillar Life, which offers simple strategies to help transform and balance our lives.

Sheri has been named one of Fast Company’s 100 Most Creative People in Business, one of The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Power 100, and a winner of the 2017 Feminist Press Power Award. But it’s her candidness about her career highs and lows on today’s episode of Glambition Radio that speaks to all of us.

On the show, you’ll also hear us discuss:

*How the compass for most of Sheri’s life has been misery (misery!!) but how she uses that to then create happiness

* Why her 20s and 30s were a ‘total sh– show’ (this had me cracking up!) before she found her big calling

* How her jobs with O seemed so glamorous from the outside, but they were really nonstop intensity, deadlines, and overnighters. (Wow…)

* What REALLY went down during the creation of OWN (the cable network) and how they dealt with all the negative news reports in the beginning

* Her transition from an insane pace and literally working in the dark to entrepreneurship: She’s now in charge of her creations, schedule, and desires.

* Her view on life: ‘What if 50 was the middle?’ What if there’s so much more to come? (I loved this and it had me in tears, as I’m just a few years away from 50 myself)

* The secret Hollywood health retreat where she went to detox after closing this chapter of her career, in order to feel like she was making a fresh start

* Why Sheri doesn’t use the word ‘work’ (she calls it something else very interesting instead)

Sheri and I also cover the importance of continually pushing yourself to make your biggest dreams come true, how that little voice in your head is a story and you have the power to change it, and how you are what you dream.

You don’t want to miss this powerful interview. Head over to iTunes and listen to this episode of Glambition Radio now (or download it for later).

Shaping up, meeting up, and stepping up…

BY ALI BROWN | August 9, 2018 Leave A Comment

Well I can’t believe the twins have just started kindergarten. For those of you who are moms I’m sure you can relate to what an emotional day it was for all of us.

I’m so proud of who they are becoming, but also there’s always a bit of sadness when it seems to happen so fast.

In between my tears(!), I wanted to drop a quick update this week on a few opportunities coming up to help you reach your goals, in a few different ways…

1. AUGUST — LET’S POWER UP FOR FALL!

Thanks to all of you who wrote to say you really enjoyed the conversation I had with my client Amanda Tress on my latest episode of #GlambitionRadio. On the show I shared my very personal story about the program that finally unlocked my body to help shed 25 pounds in the last few months, without any struggle.

You can hear our conversation here, and also take note: If this fresh approach sounds good to you, why don’t youcome join me? I’m engaging in another round of her program

that starts next week. Because so many of my clients and friends have been asking what I’ve been doing, I invite you to join us.

You’ll be invited to a special private Zoom video call that Amanda and I will host together, where we will both answer your questions. (I’ll also be very honest in what things I did a bit differently and also didn’t do as well. But even just easing into this new lifestyle, I saw incredible results within weeks. It was quite extraordinary.)

Be sure to enroll using my link (FasterWayWithAli.com), because that’s how Amanda will know you came from my community!

2. OCTOBER — MEET ME IN MIAMI BEACH

I’ll be in Miami for a few days before a private event, and right now I have both October 11 and 12 open for VIP Strategy Days while I’m in the area.

I’ve booked a beautiful oceanfront suite for my stay in Mid-Beach, so we’ll have an inspiring location to create your next level. If you’re on the East Coast, this is a great opportunity to get my private consulting without having to travel far.

Clients have used these days to map out how to best scale their current model (without implosion), position themselves for higher-end fees and clients, plan their next level of growth, drive a creative “sharp right turn”, or birth a whole new brand that matches where they’re really feeling called right now, among other objectives. We’ll set an agenda based on your needs during a private pre-call before we meet, and a follow-up call is included as well.

If you’d like to inquire, please complete the brief form on this page, and be sure to mention MIAMI. Jen on my team will reach out to you.

3. NOVEMBER 7+8, ICONIC 2.0 in PHOENIX!

>>> At this point we have only 3 seats remaining for this private, application only event.

ICONIC 2.0 is an advanced workshop for women leaders and entrepreneurs who are ready to get off the launch hamster wheel and now truly step into their great work, creating the most powerful chapter of their careers.

If you’re tired of seeing the same formulas taught over and over (and that don’t work anymore), you will love how I work, the leaders I attract, and the breakthroughs my content creates. Get ready for a fresh perspective, incomparable positioning, and hugely profitable possibilities. Learn more and apply to attend here.

ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR SUMMER!

While here in Scottsdale our kids have already gone back to school, we’re enjoying the last feelings of that relaxed summer vibe. I hope you do too. 🙂

I hope to have the chance to meet you in person sometime soon, and help you step into the best next version of yourself and your work that you ever imagined.

Best,

P.S. If you’d like to keep up with more of my adventures (twins included), I’m on Instagram at @alibrownofficial. You’ll see photos posted there that I DON’T post anywhere else, and I’m having a blast engaging with all of you!

Amanda Tress, Founder of FASTer Way To Fat Loss — Glambition Radio Episode 147 with Ali Brown

BY ALI BROWN | August 1, 2018 Leave A Comment

You’re about to hear an insightful interview from one of my top clients. But on this show you’re going to hear a very personal story from me, Ali Brown, of how I lost 25 pounds over the last three months, and it was easier and more enjoyable than I ever thought possible. (Have a peek at FASTerwayWithAli.com)

Since having my twins, I kind of settled into my new weight, thinking I would have to suffer incredibly to get back toward my previous size, so I wasn’t interested in any of it.

But then a new client came to coach with me last summer, and her name was Amanda Tress. I’d never heard of her, or the concept of intermittent fasting, but man… her business was on fire! Apparently her program the FASTer Way was helping thousands of women become super fat burners by way of her proprietary system that combines intermittent fasting with Paleo eating, carb cycling, and rotating workouts (even for beginners).

If it sounds intimidating, it was at first. But even doing most of the recommendations — admittedly not all — I literally saw my body changing in the first two weeks! And I’m still going strong.

>>> Many of my clients have been asking what I’ve been doing, so I want to invite you to join me on the next round with Amanda at www.FASTerwayWithAli.com. We’ll do a special Zoom call where she and I will privately answer all your questions, and I can share more about my experience with you there. Be sure to use my link, or we won’t know you should be part of the Zoom group.

Recent studies shared by the New York Times have revealed that intermittent fasting —confining your eating to a shorter window of time such as Noon to 8pm—is not only helping people burn more fat, but has other health benefits as well. And when you combine this winning method with the other factors in Amanda’s unique program, you have a killer combo that can change your body faster than you thought was possible.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, I have Amanda walk us through her own body transformation, but also how she has taken her business from the multiple six-figures when we first met last summer to now a multi-million dollar company ($$$), in less than a year.

Keep in mind the fitness/wellness space is an ultra competitive one. And Amanda braved a lot of criticism forseveral years from ‘experts’ who didn’t agree with her program. But now, many of those ‘experts’ are copying what she’s doing and trying to do the same thing. Because it works. (Amanda shares very openly on the show how she deals with and continues to deal with blatant copycats.)

>>> Many of my clients have been asking what I’ve been doing, so I want to invite you to join me on the next round with Amanda at www.FASTerwayWithAli.com. We’ll do a special Zoom call where she and I will privately answer all your questions, and I can share more about my experience with you there. Be sure to use my link, or we won’t know you should be part of the Zoom group.

On the show, we also discuss:

* Amanda goes into detail about making a big decision to shut down her very lucrative digital marketing agency in order to focus on FASTer Way (and her business has grown by over 300% since she’s let it go)

* How to cope when family and close friends may not understand or support what your business is all about (it’s sad, but she says the key is to “bless and release”)

* How to handle others in your field copying your work (Amanda shares what she did when someone literally copied and pasted her program word-for-word!)

* her thoughts on the unhealthy diet plans and workouts that we are constantly bombarded with on social media — and how to avoid them (for example, she explains why eating low-carb nonstop is not good for you)

* How she has relied on social proof to scale her business (she posts testimonials on a daily basis — this is key)

* The importance of diversifying your revenue streams so you can have peace of mind

Amanda and I also discuss why you should stay aligned with your values (even if that means having to make tough decisions), why women entrepreneurs should consider implementing live video into their marketing strategies, and the importance of “keeping the main thing, the main thing”.

And if you’re interested in learning more about a fun, sustainable lifestyle with Amanda’s proven program, the next round starts on Monday, August 13.

Join me at www.FASTerwayWithAli.com to learn more and take part in the live Zoom video call where we will be answering all your questions. (We’ll also record if you can’t make it) I’m telling you, the results can be life-changing.

Kim Lyons, Celebrity Trainer + Founder of Bionic Body — Glambition Radio Episode 146 with Ali Brown

BY ALI BROWN | July 25, 2018 Leave A Comment

You know her as a star trainer on ‘The Biggest Loser’, founder of the Bionic Body brand (sold nationwide including in Target), and an all-around famous fitness inspiration. But did you know that Kim Lyons’ secret to success was… failure? Yes. On this week’s episode of Glambition Radio, she shares the REAL story of how she went from flight school(!) graduate to personal trainer to NBC primetime and then creator of her own destiny with her own brand and mission.

I have to say this was one of the most enjoyable conversations I’ve had on #GlambitionRadio, because Kim didn’t hesitate to share the things we REALLY want to know… like how the Biggest Loser opportunity happened, what it was truly like, how she felt when she wasn’t asked back for a third season, what made her decide to create her own line of products (her answer may surprise you), and how she’s feeling more excited than ever at age 45… breaking into the true destiny of her career and brand.

Get to know the story behind Kim’s go-for-it attitude and get inspired on today’s Glambition Radio.

On the show, we also discuss:

* how she went to the Biggest Loser audition right after receiving the call — straight from the beach, and with no agent, no manager, nothing! (And she almost left the room three times.)

* why her first season of BL actually didn’t happen – the producers called the night before she was going to start taping to say ‘it fell through’ because Jillian Michaels was returning to the show (I never knew this part of the story—your heart will drop for how Kim must have felt)

* what it was like to go from 0 to 60 on the fame meter without any TV experience (and with the public constantly monitoring her… no way could she enjoy an occasional burger and fries!)

* how she approached creating training equipment especially for women (no one had done it well yet, but it wasn’t as easy as she thought either)

* how she struggled with the immense controversy surrounding ‘The Biggest Loser’ (it took 3 years for her to understand the mission of the show and how she played a part in it)

* how she graduated flight school to become a pilot and literally overnight she decided that it wasn’t what she wanted to be doing (love that she wasn’t afraid to change course)

* how she said yes on a whim to investing in becoming a certified personal trainer —even though it cost the same as her rent for the month (I love this story because I believe women shift at a cellular level when the decide to invest in themselves)

* how she ended up winning the Ms. Galaxy competition despite everyone telling her she didn’t stand a chance at winning. (By the way, I love that she also ended up marrying Mr. Universe — no joke.)

On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, Kim and I also discuss why you shouldn’t be afraid to refocus your goals, the importance of putting your health first and not feeling guilty for doing so, and why everyone should take just 10 minutes a day to focus on their passion.

You really don’t want to miss this one. Head over to iTunes and listen to this episode of Glambition Radio now (or download it for later).

Why you need to stop relying on marketing…

BY ALI BROWN | July 16, 2018 Leave A Comment

I want to address something I’m seeing everywhere right now, and that is complete online marketing panic.

>>> I did a Facebook LIVE on this, and you can watch it here.

Just one example: There have been several instances lately where online entrepreneurs have been blindsided by sudden changes in Facebook.

One minute they were getting good-enough leads for a few dollars each, then… the leads stopped coming. The ads stopped working. FB once again changed all its algorithms, rules, etc. And as you know, all FB ‘pages’ now also have crap organic reach. (Sigh…)

I am saddened, yet continually un-surprised by these revelations.

But it amazes me how many people are completely shell shocked.

Some have fast built their entire business around methods that could become obsolete at any given moment and over which they have no control. They’ve even spent tens of thousands of dollars in trainings to learn them, and now this information is worth nothing.

We are, in the end, only slaves to the emperors of social.

IF that’s our focus.

In 2015 I predicted this Online Launch Bubble was coming (see original blog post here), and now it’s getting more and more clear — those who are being hit the hardest are relying on pure marketing to drive their entire business.

Or they actually are realizing they don’t have… real positioning, real strategy, or… a real business! Ha.

But here’s the GIFT in all this…

This is forcing us to pay attention to doing our real work. Our great work. To find our unique ‘lane’ on our unique road. And to position ourselves in such a way that we are incomparable with anyone else, and where suddenly everything will come more easily.

You may have followed the formulas that worked for awhile but now not only do they not work, but they are getting you mixed up with all the others.

Have no fear, because this is EXACTLY what we are going to roll-up our sleeves and work on at ICONIC 2.0, November 7+8 in Phoenix.

If you’re ready to give yourself a huge advantage via a serious two-day positioning power-up, this advanced workshop for established women leaders is exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

Last year we sold out within 48 hours, and we are opening registration in TWO DAYS, but only to the Priority Notification list.

To ‘raise your hand’, go there or simply text ‘ICONIC’ to 480-485-2664.

This way you’ll be first to get all the details, and you can decide if it’s a fit for you.
