Jessy - Kari Warberg Block, CEO of Earth-Kind, this week on Glambition™ Radio

Kari Warberg on Glambition Radio with Ali Brown Question: If a mouse ran up your leg while you were helping the farmer you were dating to push-start a truck (stay with me here…) you would:


A. Scream… and run away from said truck

B. Scream… and run away from said date

C. Scream… and run away from truck and date while noting an idea for a multimillion dollar business


Well, my friend Kari Warberg Block’s run-in with that rodent helped her launch a $40 million dollar company. So her answer was “C”.


Today on Glambition Radio, how one little mouse, a bottle of perfume, and A LOT of faith helped Kari create the business, and the life, of her dreams.


It’s a pretty incredible story. I’ll let HER talk you through it on the interview, as it’s quite comical. Her run-in with the rodent led her to the idea of creating a SAFE, non-poison rodent repellant. And it WORKED.


That was the good news. And the bad news… As sales started to take off, the Department of Agriculture took note. And they told her she needed to get her product registered and licensed and ultra-tested… to the tune of $2 million.


What happened next will inspire and delight you. Kari kept going when most people would’ve just thrown in the towel. Her perseverance, dedication, and unwavering faith paid off, and now her company manufactures the first and only EPA-certified botanical rodent repellent. It’s available in stores nationwide, including Ace Hardware and Whole Foods.


But trust me, you HAVE to hear it from Kari. She is just salt of the earth and I LOVE this woman!


This week’s Glambition Radio episode is loaded with inspiring advice on following your heart and NEVER giving up. Here’s a sneak preview for you from Kari, in her own words:


Tip #1: Believe in yourself


“I always love to let people know that they’re capable of so much more than they think. I was in special ed when I grew up. I went to a different school every year of my life. I was told I wouldn’t go to college. Look at me now. It’s fun to defy those odds.”


Tip #2: Find your niche and own it


“For me, this whole crazy thing with rodents would not have happened if I hadn’t worked in retail selling perfume and been dating a farmer. Everybody has some combination in their life, and it’s all there. Find your niche and own it.”


Tip #3: Let go and let God


“I used to think I had to control everything. But not until I really let go and said, ‘Okay God, I’m going to let go, and I’m going to let you show me the way’… it made everything so much more effortless. You start to see things appear before you that have always been there, but you didn’t see them before.”


So before you say “Oh RATS… I missed this interview…” go listen to this episode of Glambition Radio on iTunes now (or download for later).


Love and success,

SMART Goals 101: Goal Setting Examples, Templates, and Tips - Brian Tracy

I think you’ll agree with me when I say: We’ve all heard that SMART goals are important . But a lot of people are left with questions about them, for example: What exactly are they? How do we use them correctly? Are they really contributing to your success? Here’s the deal: When it comes to achieving success, one of the most important steps that you can take is setting good goals. It is also important to recognize, though, that not all goals are created equal.

FREE SUCCESS TOOL: Brian Tracy’s 14-Step-Goal-Setting Guide What is a Goal? A goal can be any objective that you set for yourself and push yourself to achieve.

But here’s the kicker: While having goals of all kinds is almost

bosanchez - The Bias of Fathers

One day, I was at a Christmas party. And parents were forcing their small kids to sing, bribing them with lollipops to banana splits to doll houses to Boracay vacations. One father — a friend of mine whose name I won’t divulge as it would be hazardous to my health — brought his little five-year-old daughter to the front. Because he even had a Minus One prepared, we thought, “She must really be a good singer.” So everyone clapped their hands and cheered as the music started. Then the five-year-old began to sing. Or at least made some kind of sharp noise.  But she didn’t get one key right. The cute little girl was absolutely tone deaf. From beginning to end, she sounded so awful, the experience was similar to having an endoscopy without the anesthesia. But the father was right beside me, still taking photos, still smiling from ear to ear, his eyes glued to his little daughter. He looked at me and smiled, “She may not sound right, but can you see how lovely she sways her hips?” Th
