Collection of Motivational Speakers

As entrepreneurs, one of our most important duties is keeping our minds open to fresh moneymaking ideas. Holding regular brainstorm sessions can uncover fresh spins on our original ideas, and keep the passion alive—not only within ourselves, but for our customers and clients as well. But, if you want to have an eye-opening brainstorm session, it helps to be aware of the scope of ALL your possibilities, especially when it comes to new business ideas. Otherwise it’s easy to fall into a one-track mindset. For example, an aspiring business owner might say, “ I really like fashion, so I’m going to be a fashion designer .” A successful landscape architect might say, “All right, time to shake things up, let’s start pursuing higher-end clients.” Although there is nothing wrong with the ideas above, you can see that the ideas are very limited, and one-to-one. The truth is, your ONE passion or skill can actually spur a variety of moneymaking business ideas. Below, we’ll take a look at 8 dif...

If you’re like most entrepreneurs I meet, you had a dream to start your own business to honor who you are and what you want to create in this life (including a great income! ). You’ve got the inspiration, and you’re putting in the perspiration … but where is it all going? You see, if you’re just trying to get clients and customers here and there, and feel like you don’t have a focused system for making this happen, you could be in big trouble. Nothing breaks my heart more than seeing a woman give up on her entrepreneurial dream, simply because the money isn’t coming in. Most small business owners are floundering because they simply haven’t put together their Profit Map™ . Well, mark your calendars for Wednesday, May 15, 2013. I’m giving you access to a FREE 4-hour workshop with myself and the coaches in my Elevate program and we’re going to show you how to make your Profit Map happen! You’ll get a unique mix of live training, in-depth exercises, and Q&A that you can imp...

Years ago, I decided to sell my first little e-book. Humble as it was, I remember being so nervous about posting it for sale online that I thought my heart would beat out of my chest! But my fears quickly dissipated when I saw order after order stack up in my email inbox, while I was out at the gym. And most of you know the rest… I grew that great little income stream of an extra few hundred dollars a month into what is today a multimillion-dollar business. Right now, women and men of all ages, businesses, and backgrounds are making money online with info-publishing (also called “information marketing” or “info-products”). Every day, revenues are generated with every topic under the sun —raw food recipes, meeting your mate, losing weight, financial planning, talking with angels, interior decorating… you name it. I’ve talked about this topic for years and taught it as part of my more extensive courses—and I want to make sure you know that I also have a free report that’s all about cre...
