Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Sarah Clayton, “Few things are more important during a change event than communication from leaders who can paint a clear and confidence-inspiring vision of the future. “   This show is about creating productive change in our personal and professional lives.  At the core of any change is clear communication. When change hits us, especially if we don’t choose the change, we forget to seek help and communicate with others to make the change easier for ourselves.  It doesn’t have to be hard if we have a plan!    YouTube: https://youtu.be/g9zRBFfNl6g   About Amanda HarNess:   Amanda owns Business Excelerated and works with service-based organizations to resolve the problems keeping owners from achieving their business goals.  With a focus on growth strategy, people and leadership, and change navigation, her clients can close the gap between where they are now and where they want to be.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Phil Frost, “Successful SEO is not about tricking Google.  It’s about PARTNERING with Google to provide the best search results for Google’s users.” As I reflect on these weekly quotes, I’m inspired to try to see the show's topic from many perspectives.  Today’s topic is all about SEO rankings.  I have not fully leveraged SEO for my business because I lack knowledge.  So, I am personally excited to hear my guest’s thoughts about SEO generation, Google analytics, and how to leverage this unforeseen power behind my website.    YouTube: https://youtu.be/46EahYFaQH0   About Matt Diamant:   Matt founded HeyTony, a leading digital marketing agency.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Joshua Marine, "Challenges are what make life interesting. Overcoming them is what makes life meaningful." I read an article or got an email about mindset, motivation, and career or business growth.  For me, this quote hit the nail on the head. Challenges make us stronger and more resilient and keep life interesting and, sometimes, even frustrating.  Overcoming these challenges does make life meaningful and exhilarating.    Think of a new skill or new idea you’ve had recently.  Doesn’t your blood get pumping with excitement?  Change is everywhere, and I believe how we show up during change is where the magic and adventure lie for all of us.   YouTube: https://youtu.be/K0OCPPm-ZZk   About Beverly Jones:  Beverly is an executive coach who helps leaders promote productivity and engagement and helps professionals thrive in their careers.  Bev writes and speaks about personal growth, teamwork, and well-being issues.

My motivational quote for today is by – Jake Dyson, “I don’t like the word ‘dynasty,’ but that’s what it is. It’s not just a business. There’s a lot going on in the background.” Interestingly, I had yet to think about what I would do with my business once I retired.  Now, my kids are growing and developing their skills and moving forward in their careers.  Will they want to continue my business, or will I sell it?    If you, like me, own a business and are approaching retirement or at least slowing down, what are your next steps?  These are good questions to ponder for all my family-owned businesses.    YouTube: https://youtu.be/fzb1Us8Xc9g   About Jeremy Stevenson:   Jeremy founded iBridge to return to what he loves: helping family businesses achieve their goals.

Connie's motivational quote for today is from – Socrates, “The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new.” Being in business for 22 years many things have changed, and yet many things have stayed the same.  I met my guest about two years ago and learned that my business has a soul language.  I know, right…what does that mean? Most business owners, like myself, see their business and personal self as the same thing.  Well, surprise, they are not.  I was shocked to learn that my business has its soul, strengths, and blind spots. Intriguing topic…right?    YouTube: https://youtu.be/p9Thfpz04Y4   About Jennifer Urezzio: Jennifer is the founder of Soul Language – a paradigm that puts tangibility to Soul so a conscious connection can be established to enable crystal-clear decisions for success.

Connie's motivational quote for today is from – Buddha, “To keep the body in good health is a duty – otherwise, we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.” I love this quote because when I was younger, I exercised every day, including cardio and lifting weights.  Then, as my career grew with more demands, marriage, and then kids, exercise took a back seat. Around 40 years old, I had been in business for a year and felt like I was moving through life without any energy or passion, which was not like me at all.  After working with a holistic doctor and doing a ton of blood work, the results returned with severe adrenal fatigue.  My body was weak, stressed, and unable to get a good night's sleep.  Not a good combo.  For the past 22 years, I have continued to work with the same holistic doctor and make healthy life choices so I can remain strong, relevant, passionate, and thriving because of the good habits I have cultivated over the years. For me, it starts with a healthy mind, body, and, of course,

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Albert Einstein, “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” Reflecting on my life and business, I have learned that All progress requires change. That is one of the reasons I started recording this show over a decade ago.  I know I have needed help with changing my behaviors to support my ongoing success with other business owners and colleagues.  We can’t do it alone!    So, if you ever felt stuck, uncertain, frustrated with problems, poor performance, or challenging opportunities – trust that you can create a clear path forward, accelerate your progress, achieve your goals, and help others to do the same.   YouTube: https://youtu.be/tzOs0SL5tGk   About Tim Rhode: I’m excited to share this week’s guest, Tim Rhode.  Straight out of his new book, Changing Lanes for Business, Tim and I will discuss his simple, proven, 4-step approach to leading successful change - with confidence - for the rest

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Nicole Snow, “A small business is an amazing way to serve and leave an impact on the world you live in.” When I started my career 40 years ago, I had no network. I didn’t even know why I needed to build a network of people who I could get to know and ultimately be able to help them.  Wow, what an incredible journey of learning why people matter so much in business and why showing up in a caring and loving way matters!   My guest and I will explore this topic of understanding why paying forward generates new business opportunities and provide an introduction from Presidents and Owners of Companies like Magic.  You have the power to create this type of dynamic relationship by giving first?  Yup, that’s it, just giving first!    The Organization that we talked about today is Camp Kids are Kids Chicago.(Link: https://campkidsarekids.org/donate/). Every year our camp gives kids who are undergoing cancer treatment a chance to experience camp in an Urban environment.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Marianne Williamson, “You must learn a new way to think before you can master a new way to be." I love this quote, and I believe that our minds are powerful tools to help us achieve our life’s desires.  As long as we change our thoughts, our reality will follow accordingly!   Remember the old saying, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks?" This may be a true statement: unless you create new neural pathways in the (Neuroplasticity), you will continue to create life in the same way over and over because the mind doesn't have another path (story or belief) to build from.   YouTube: https://youtu.be/AIM7SmCgtpY   About Krishna Avalon: Krishna is a licensed acupuncturist, subconscious therapist, PSYCH-K facilitator, and breath-work guide who has led over 26k patients and clients to their health and wellness goals for the last 20 years.   How to Get In Touch with Krishna Avalon: Email: krishna@krishnaavalon.com Website:   http://www.krishnaavalon.com/ Free Gift: https:

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Theo Gold “Communication is your ticket to success if you pay attention and learn to do it effectively.” So, about 35 years ago, I was introduced to a communication behavioral model called DiSC.  My personal and professional life changed forever.   I became obsessed with communication skills, the psychology behind how humans communicated, the various assessments available, and how they measured our natural communication strengths and blind spots.  For me, being successful in sales for over four decades is because I am obsessed with developing and teaching communication skills to other sales folks and business owners. Understanding how to communicate effectively will act as a magic wand for you to change your life, too.   YouTube: https://youtu.be/PmsafW2SzsY   About Steve Bunin:   Steve is an executive coach with Network TV experience, using his expertise from an elite, 25-year broadcasting career to help business executives in dire need of improving their commun

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Nikola Tesla, “In a crystal, we have clear evidence of the existence of a formative life principle, and though we cannot understand the life of a crystal, it is nonetheless a living being.” I was turned onto crystals and their healing energies by a friend about ten years ago, and my life has never been the same!   As I collect and learn more about crystal energy, I become more curious about its effects on my life and that of my family and clients. There is a ripple effect! I am excited for today’s conversation, where we will discuss the many aspects of Crystals.    How their shapes impact how they project energy.  How to clear and charge crystals to gain the best results.  What the best Crystals are for beginners?  How various crystals can help you with Anxiety, Negative Energy, calmness, Depression, New Beginnings, and more.     YouTube: https://youtu.be/g2V9jI347u4   About Liz Mihaly:  Liz is the owner of Tranquil Soul Crystal Boutique.  Liz believes there

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Carrie Wilkerson, “The longer you’re not taking action, the more money you’re losing.” What hit me with this quote is that action is good if we take the correct action.  For example, I always see this where business owners do not pay themselves.  As if the scraps of money left over should be enough. So how do we change this mindset of getting what’s left over to paying ourselves first so we can thrive inside and outside our businesses?     YouTube: https://youtu.be/6AvJqZ9BA8M   About Jenifer Sapel:   Jen is a recovering over-achiever who overcompensated financially after living with a mother who struggled financially after the divorce.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Dave Ramsey, “You must gain control over your money, or the lack of it will forever control you.” Reflecting on my career and business for today's show topic, I realize how curious I have become about my relationship with money.  I can see all the ups and downs financially due to things that have been in my control and beyond my control.  The only control I have is being aware of my current situation, having a plan to support my future objectives and goals, and knowing when to change my plan or my price structure.    So I ask you – what’s your relationship with money?  Are you thinking, “Connie, I love money; spending my money, and money is great!”  Or are you thinking, “Hum, that’s an excellent question?  I feel like I never have enough money, and no matter how hard I work, money seems hard for me to hold onto.” No matter the side you fall on with my questions, guess what? We all have money issues.  So how do we dig in and change our relationship with money?  I’m

  Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Catherine Ponder, “What you notice, give attention to, talk about, get all worked up over emotionally is what you are inviting into your life, whether you mean to or not. ”WOW!  This quote struck me.  It made me pause and think about why choosing the right mindset every day is critical for us to live a life of passion and emotions that help us navigate and fame our life from a place of choice, not a life by default.   YouTube: https://youtu.be/VA4nYs-FIEs   About Jennifer Keable:   Jennifer helps her client see how they navigate obstacles; the quality of self-talk that endues after a perceived failure affects all areas of their life and their ability to show up in their most powerful form.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Ginni Rometty, “Growth and comfort do not coexist.” When I published my #1 International Best Selling book ESP (Easy Sales Process), in 2020, I did not think it would generate a million dollars.  I believe it would help spotlight my level of expertise while helping me build trust with future clients. Here’s the thing. When you are writing the book, thinking if people will even resonate with it, the mind starts to play tricks and turns up the volume on our inner negative record player.  The old mind trap of, you’re not good enough, no one will find value in what you have to say, there are other sales books out there, etc. Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fsk2ebUNBTY   Listen to Andrew on Changing the Sales Game: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/changing-the-sales-game/id1543243616?i=1000604945014   About Andrew Fitzgerald: Andrew and I will discuss his book How Did I Get Here?

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Robert Frost, “In three words, I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”   Do you believe that the spirits of people who have passed on can communicate with us and teach us lessons in our lives?  This is a strange question to explore, yet the shared evidence proves the spirit world and our world co-exist and can communicate.  My guest and I will speak about the loss of her son Anthony and how he has become her guide to transformation for herself with a ripple effect helping people transform their own lives.   Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/3Lclvf91Adk   About Terri-Ann Russell Terri Ann is a Quantum Activator, Violet Flame 4.0 creator, Alchemist, Healer, Author, and Reverend.

By contrast, in 1990, only 3% of men reported having no close friends.   Lost in seclusion, people everywhere seem to be having trouble connecting again.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Bruce Daggy, “Let’s build wellness rather than treat disease.” Such a simple quote yet filled with so much truth!  Many of my clients are banks and credit unions, and you can imagine that most of our discussions are about the importance of our financial well-being.  We also discuss the critical importance of having a healthy mind, body, and spirit connection.  That needs to be in place before we can live and thrive.  Without good health, we cannot earn money to support our families.    Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7YHw7ynzC3A   About Julie Mann: Julie, aka the habit fixer!  Julie helps women over 50 to enjoy amazing health, well-being, and self-confidence through EFT, skincare, nutrition, and digital products.   She started working as an accredited hypnotherapist in 2005, then a year later, trained as a life coach and EFT practitioner.      Becoming a brand ambassador with the B corp Arbonne, and being able to help people with their health inside and out

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Aristotle, “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work. “ Using this quote as my springboard for today’s discussion and the following statistics I think will blow your mind.  Here are some statistics from Gallop for 2022.  Note here that the new survey will be coming out mid 2023 but these stats are worth sharing for now.    The 2022 data is something all businesses and leaders should be addressing: “19% miserable Only 21% engaged. 33% are thriving in their overall well-being. 7 trillion lost in productivity world-wide.” Today my guest, Jeanine Thompson and we are going to dig in and explore how this is impacting productivity and organizational results.   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ixMYjG87o9w   About Jeanine Thompson: Jeanine is a Transformational Coach, Speaker, and Author whose breadth of knowledge and experience spans multiple disciplines and professional expressions from clinical psychotherapy to global business to advancing

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Chris Grosser, “Opportunities don’t happen, you create them.”    Through many years of success and failures, I have learned that I always needed to keep putting one foot before the other!  Moving forward has always created new opportunities because I was open to receiving and in motion, so pivoting was much easier than constantly trying to come up with the next perfect step.  There is no ideal step, only steps forward into growth.   In my times of transition, the transformation, no matter how difficult, has brought new experiences, growth, and magic into my life. I look forward to my conversation today with my friend and brilliant guest, Mark Aylward , about career transition and other ways to pivot and grow in our careers and business.   Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/EuXid-g5paE   About Mark Aylward: Mark and I will discuss his 30+ years as a staffing expert and business owner.
