Connie's motivational quotes for today is by – Renee Rouleau, “Be good to your skin. You'll wear it every day for the rest of your life." I turn 63 years old this November of 2024. As I write my notes and see the #63 written out, I can’t help but pause and think about the aging process and what it means. They say 60 is the new 40 and I kind of agree with this notion. For me being healthy on the inside is critical and yes, I will be honest and say I want to look good on the outside too. That’s not being vain, rather it’s about living a thriving life and staying relevant for my business and for my clients.

My motivational quote for today is by – Brian Tracy "Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, 'What's in it for me?'" – Brian Tracy. I love this quote; it helps set up today's show topic: Differentiation is the Key to Unlocking Sales. So, how can brands (and their sales teams) differentiate in a crowded marketplace to stand out and drive customer acquisition? The first step is to give first and provide value (not BS), which will build deep relationships and easily create lifelong customers and referral sources for passive income.

“Balance is not something you find, it’s something you create” – Jana Kingsford. I’m often asked how I have created balance while running and growing a business, especially when my kids were babies. The simple answer is that it wasn't easy. The better answer is that even though it wasn’t easy, it depended on how my husband and I managed our work and home lives.
It was a team effort for us. When I would go into heavy work mode and not come up for air, he’d come into my office, shut my computer off, and tell me to come upstairs to hang out with him and the kids. After five minutes, I would always look at him and thank him because he knew what I needed more than I did. I believe that creating such balance takes deliberate strategies and working together.

“Mompreneur: A Superhero who raises her babies while building a business” – Waypoint Writing. When I started my business, my boys were babies.

Then, I loosened the reins and grew the business by adding more effort and time each week. It was a juggling act, but then again, isn’t life a juggling act for all of us?
So, for the ladies listening, you will be inspired to believe you can have it all. For my dudes listening, you will be inspired to support your wives and daughters to be all they can be!

“Governing is about making tough decisions, but it’s also about figuring out a better way to do things.” – Mike DeVine. So, I am mixing things up and doing a solo show!
Recently my husband and I watched a movie produced by Ron Howard called Hillbilly Elegy, a very honest memoir about JD Vance. I promise this is not a political show, and it doesn’t matter which side of the aisle you sit in politics.
This movie is about living the American dream when all the odds are against you. It’s a must-see, and I believe our kids should watch it. Here are a couple of points I took away from the movie:
Our ego and reptilian brain try to keep us safe, but to what end? I challenge you to watch the movie and see how Ron Howard shows the pivotal moments of change and choice through JD’s reflections and memories of the past.

“Customer-centricity should be about delivering value for customers that will eventually create value for the company” – Robert G. Thompson. The root of sustainable growth is having customers who buy and evangelize your company. However, surveying all visitors and customers does not show why the customers buy. To decipher this, you have to blend qualitative and quantitative research.
My guest today has helped companies, big and small, level up their understanding of how customers make decisions, which has helped marketers make better decisions.

“Creativity involves breaking out of expected patterns in order to look at things in a different way”, Edward deBono. As I reflect on my life and having a dad who was an engineer by trade, I was taught how to look at any situation, problem, or life event through a lens of logic. This is funny because I remember as a kid loving to draw and create pictures of landscapes with horses, colorful sunsets, a field of trees and flowers, and the list goes on. I’m not sure what happened or why I stopped drawing and using my creative mind.
I think as my life became busier with academics, sports, working part-time jobs, family obligations, friends, and boyfriends, (you know you have this type of list too) life just got too busy and I stopped creating pictures on paper and canvas.
Guess what? Today is the perfect time to get excited about creativity and how it can transform your life. Some tools may work in your personal life and not in your professional life. The cool thing is that tapping into your creativity is something that enhances every aspect of your life. And here’s a secret…everyone is creative.

“Many companies have forgotten they sell to actual people. Humans care about the entire experience, not just the marketing, sales, or service. To really win in the modern age, you must solve for humans.” — Dharmesh Shah. I truly enjoy having marketing experts on my show because sales and marketing are very different. They are married and need each other but have very different skills. Since I’m no expert in Marketing strategies, I always learn a tip or two or three from my guests on this topic.
