We’ve hit the half-way mark to the year. It’s amazing what can happen in 6 months.

First I want to send a shout out to my intellectual property attorney, Julie Katz for winning the NAWBO Chicago Corporate Partner Member of the Year award!

I’ve been developing some really spirit-rich, business content that supports you and your business. Aren’t you ready to lighten up? To put your business to work for you, instead of slaving in your business? Are you ready to bring the worry and anxiety levels down?

As always, send me notes and comments about the newsletter or what you’re doing. I’d love to include your successes in the newsletter!

Be well,

I’ve had a great couple of weeks since the last newsletter. I was invited to the Girl Power luncheon, “Celebrating Young Women’s Leadership Charter School of Chicago“.  It’s an end of year fundraiser. Wow, what wonderful things Denise Fields, the School Director and the young women are doing! The students who spoke were so lovely, articulate and confident. Their graduation rates and college matriculation rates were exemplary! This is exactly what we need – young women finding their voice and taking their place in the world.

NextOne Clients and Program Director

I have also come to the end of the 2010-2011 NextOne Program. My clients have done exceptionally well; creating new marketing and business strategies, picking up new clients and significantly reducing costs. Its been very exciting to be a part of their progression.

This reminds me that closure is natural. Cycles are natural. Closure resets the stage for new opportunities. It honors the growth we’ve experienced, even if we can’t perceive it yet.  So when things come to a natural conclusion, take a deep breath and reflect on just what you were able to create.

In the meantime, if you have a FB or Twitter account, lets connect and continue the conversation there!

October was a crazy busy month for me with work and with personal exploration. It was a month of continuous learning for my mind and soul. First, I had an opportunity to attend the TEDx Conference in Chicago. It was a day of fascination and inspiration as we heard from an array of people with ideas worth spreading such as Jason Fried, President of 37Signals (provider of amazing, highly usable project software and others. I’ve used it and love it.) Paul Serano a top dinosaur hunter, to Majora Carter a MacArthur Prize winning urban revitalization strategist. There were 18 speakers in all. Each speaker got 18 minutes to speak on whatever idea they thought was worth spreading. Fabulouso!  To get a sense of what it was like visit TED.com. Here you can see samples of some of the thousands of presentations that have been made.

I then went on to spend time with my coach Kendall Summerhawk, to get my plans in motion for 2011. This was all followed by a weekend with one of my Spiritual teachers Sonia Choquette. Talk about living life at a 10! Wow.

All this really has me ready to share the knowledge in my upcoming 3 part teleseries called,

How to make your business Stand Up and Stand Out in a Crowd

5 Simple Steps to Creating Products and Services Your Customers Will Crave!

On a regular basis I meet entrepreneurs who are stretched to the limit. Trust me, I understand. One of the things I’ve found most helpful is to become part of a community; an association, a master-mind group, or a coaching circle.   I have run them in the past and currently belong to one.  Being engaged with others who are having similar experiences or have insights that they can share, is a fabulous thing. I’m so into the power of the group that, I’m offering a new coaching program, its called GRACE.

This unique coaching program will unlock insights and solutions to lead you to your desired goals while providing the support and accountability you’re looking for.  A peer group of like-intentioned entrepreneurs simultaneously learning and sharing experiences, challenges and accomplishments will motivate and support you on your journey. This exciting on-going program is perfect for the entrepreneur who wants to:

• Simplify
• Focus on her Strengths
• Increase the number of “A” clients
