Big Sky is right. Yet the mountains were hazy, a huge 450 ache fire was ablaze when I first arrived in Bozeman, MT yet within a few days it was gone. One of the cool things about Bozeman is it’s surrounded by mountains in every direction! So we basically went to one mtn range a day, hit 3 out of 4 on this trip, and a morning spent at a local river shooting video… such glory within minutes from where I was staying. Divine. I enjoyed a BUMPY ride… OK, did I really enjoy it? Well my bladder would say something different, yet the scenery was so breathtaking on the drive up to Fairy Lake… the wild flowers were incredible. The lake was SO GREEN you wouldn’t believe it! Wish I’d brought a dingy… pure heaven. Then, by now you know how much I adore paddle boarding… so we went to this Reservoir and we paddled down the river… so easy… yet the way back against the current AND wind… a little harder… I went RIGHT up to the beginning of the damn and chilled out floating down the lake… tanning on ...

Last week I noticed that a company I like ( AudioAcrobat ) was having a video testimonial contest, and the deadline was just a couple hours away. So I brushed my hair, put on some makeup, put on some clothes (well, a top), and took my iphone into my guest bedroom where I have my "film studio" set up. I shot a 56 second testimonial with my phone's camera (the rules required under 1 minute) and sent it in just under the wire. I just heard that I WON the contest. FIRST PRIZE! And my video is playing on their home page! Take a look at my winning video: http://morganarae.audioacrobat.com/ This is the BEST kind of exposure to my market. Ridiculously good exposure. I'm sharing this because there are 2 money magnetic marketing strategies here: 1) Shoot videos. Get really, really comfortable shooting videos. 2) Give testimonials. If you like a product or service provider, be GENEROUS with your testimonials. It's the best kind of marketing... for YOU! It WILL come back t...

How well do you bounce back from criticism? Do you let it roll off your back and keep moving, or does it stop you in your tracks as you obsess about what it could mean about you, your path, and every other decision you’ve made in your life? When you step up in your business and life, criticism happens no matter what you do. So the bottom line is you have to learn how to handle it. Below, a few tips on how to bounce back. Check Your Feelings at the Door According to Kare Anderson—a “gut instincts expert” from Sausalito, Calif. —in the first moments of a critical attack, we respond like animals: our heart beat races, skin temperature drops and we even lose peripheral vision. Our first instincts are to feel the criticism, and then either withdraw or retaliate. Neither of these responses is healthy. What is helpful is to shift your focus away from your feelings and towards the actual content of the critique. I love Anderson’s visual for this: Imagine that you are a part of a triangle, wi...

1. SLOW DOWN NELLY: No offense, yet I highly doubt you’ll find the One in your 20′s. You may, yet the majority of you will settle in your 20′s… yet if you wait until your 30′s, will find a real keeper. (Note* out of fear I married in my 20′s. Tall dark and handsome millionaire. How does it get even better, right? Yet I didn’t ask if I really loved him. He loved me and I was insecure and that was enough. Divorce #1) 2. YOU’RE ACTUALLY ENOUGH: Society wants you to think you’re not enough unless you marry, that you’re defective broken and a loser if you’re in your 30′s and not married. They do this to control you, keep you in fear and sell you crap. You don’t require a man to be enough. You are enough and I implore you to choose a man that contributes extra juju to your life, not completes you. (plus women that know they are enough attract far higher quality of men, for their not needy, they are open to a great life getting even better) 3. IF YOU’RE TIRED, TAKE A NAP! Duty dating? Plea...
