Online Thought Leadership

David Meerman’s success blew me away as I was listening to his interview on the Personal Branding Telesummit. As I headed to David’s web site, I was excited to find a concept I’ve been talking about for a couple of years now – online thought leadership! I used to think that leadership was about standing [...]

The Magic of “Done For You Services”

George McFly from “Back to the Future” said, “If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything!” Well, what if I don’t want to put my mind to it? What if someone else can put their mind to it much faster, easier, better, and they’ll actually enjoy every minute of it? Why do [...]

How I Design a Profit-Generating Year

For years I couldn’t figure how to plan my business further than a week ahead. Today I can say that I can easily plan my entire year – yes, the whole 12 months! – and execute the entire plan without a flinch! On a special teleseminar I held today I shared my business planning strategies [...]

I Lied! Actually, This is the First Step to Freedom!

I recently wrote about firing your worst client as the first step to freedom… Let’s take one step back though…. Before you let go of some of your income you so much rely on, discover your passion. I am not being “woo-woo” about it – not at all. I am simply saying that you must [...]

Started Writing My Second Book…the Fun and Easy Way!

Today I started writing my book…without actually typing a word. Writing or typing is great, but for me it’s much easier to “speak” my book instead. So over the next 4-6 weeks I’ll be “recording my book” in a series of interviews with Nancy Gerber, who is a master at extracting your unique story and [...]

Are You Willing to Do Whatever It Takes?

This is a very common question when you have a conversation about success. A coach or a motivational speaker says to you, “You must be willing to do whatever it takes if you want to become successful!” Yes, I am willing to do whatever it takes… as long as I still love my life. Perhaps [...]

First Step to Freedom: Fire Your Worst Client

I met several people at the Coaching Super Summit last month whose income 100% depends on them taking action. Zero passive income. They don’t work, they don’t make money. What to do? How do you transition from active income to having some passive income? I suggest this strategy: fire your worst client! Then raise your [...]

Lifestyle Business “Ala Milana”

The words “lifestyle business” make some people nauseous. I personally used to associate this word with MLM or Networking Marketing businesses. That’s where you usually see exotic vacations, fancy cars, and paradise living. That was until I re-defined the word “lifestyle” – it means something entirely different to me. Perhaps it’s because I am not [...]

Simple Solution for “Killing” the E-Mail Monster

I spent my Friday lunch with a friend who was complaining about the hundreds of e-mails arriving in her inbox, and it’s only getting worse the more successful she is becoming. Usually I say, forward your e-mail address to your assistant’s address – let her take care of it. Create an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) [...]

Multiple Income Streams Re-Defined

I just read a post by Ryan Taylor (www.mmhabits.com) describing exactly what I’ve been building all these years. Nido Qubein talks about intentional congruence in his business, where every company he created is somehow connected to all of his other companies. Ryan, on the other hand, suggest something different – a MUCH better and time-efficient [...]
