My motivational quote for today is by – Jake Dyson, “I don’t like the word ‘dynasty,’ but that’s what it is. It’s not just a business. There’s a lot going on in the background.” Interestingly, I had yet to think about what I would do with my business once I retired.  Now, my kids are growing and developing their skills and moving forward in their careers.  Will they want to continue my business, or will I sell it? 

If you, like me, own a business and are approaching retirement or at least slowing down, what are your next steps?  These are good questions to ponder for all my family-owned businesses.

Connie's motivational quote for today is from – Socrates, “The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new.” Being in business for 22 years many things have changed, and yet many things have stayed the same.  I met my guest about two years ago and learned that my business has a soul language.  I know, right…what does that mean? Most business owners, like myself, see their business and personal self as the same thing.  Well, surprise, they are not.  I was shocked to learn that my business has its soul, strengths, and blind spots. Intriguing topic…right?

Connie's motivational quote for today is from – Buddha, “To keep the body in good health is a duty – otherwise, we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.” I love this quote because when I was younger, I exercised every day, including cardio and lifting weights.  Then, as my career grew with more demands, marriage, and then kids, exercise took a back seat. Around 40 years old, I had been in business for a year and felt like I was moving through life without any energy or passion, which was not like me at all. 

After working with a holistic doctor and doing a ton of blood work, the results returned with severe adrenal fatigue.  My body was weak, stressed, and unable to get a good night's sleep.  Not a good combo.  For the past 22 years, I have continued to work with the same holistic doctor and make healthy life choices so I can remain strong, relevant, passionate, and thriving because of the good habits I have cultivated over the years. For me, it starts with a healthy mind, body, and, of course, spirit.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Albert Einstein, “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” Reflecting on my life and business, I have learned that All progress requires change. That is one of the reasons I started recording this show over a decade ago.  I know I have needed help with changing my behaviors to support my ongoing success with other business owners and colleagues.  We can’t do it alone! 

So, if you ever felt stuck, uncertain, frustrated with problems, poor performance, or challenging opportunities – trust that you can create a clear path forward, accelerate your progress, achieve your goals, and help others to do the same.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Nicole Snow, “A small business is an amazing way to serve and leave an impact on the world you live in.” When I started my career 40 years ago, I had no network. I didn’t even know why I needed to build a network of people who I could get to know and ultimately be able to help them.  Wow, what an incredible journey of learning why people matter so much in business and why showing up in a caring and loving way matters!

My guest and I will explore this topic of understanding why paying forward generates new business opportunities and provide an introduction from Presidents and Owners of Companies like Magic.  You have the power to create this type of dynamic relationship by giving first?  Yup, that’s it, just giving first! 

The Organization that we talked about today is Camp Kids are Kids Chicago.(Link: https://campkidsarekids.org/donate/). Every year our camp gives kids who are undergoing cancer treatment a chance to experience camp in an Urban environment. This year two major hotels, The Palmer House and The Drake will give up rooms to support campers, siblings and the Doctors, Nurses, Counselors and Staff who will stay with our kids and give of their services for free. Hotel furniture will be removed, bunk beds installed and campers and their support team will have an opportunity to experience Camp.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Marianne Williamson, “You must learn a new way to think before you can master a new way to be." I love this quote, and I believe that our minds are powerful tools to help us achieve our life’s desires.  As long as we change our thoughts, our reality will follow accordingly!

Remember the old saying, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks?" This may be a true statement: unless you create new neural pathways in the (Neuroplasticity), you will continue to create life in the same way over and over because the mind doesn't have another path (story or belief) to build from.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Theo Gold “Communication is your ticket to success if you pay attention and learn to do it effectively.” So, about 35 years ago, I was introduced to a communication behavioral model called DiSC.  My personal and professional life changed forever.  

I became obsessed with communication skills, the psychology behind how humans communicated, the various assessments available, and how they measured our natural communication strengths and blind spots.  For me, being successful in sales for over four decades is because I am obsessed with developing and teaching communication skills to other sales folks and business owners. Understanding how to communicate effectively will act as a magic wand for you to change your life, too.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Nikola Tesla, “In a crystal, we have clear evidence of the existence of a formative life principle, and though we cannot understand the life of a crystal, it is nonetheless a living being.” I was turned onto crystals and their healing energies by a friend about ten years ago, and my life has never been the same!

As I collect and learn more about crystal energy, I become more curious about its effects on my life and that of my family and clients. There is a ripple effect! I am excited for today’s conversation, where we will discuss the many aspects of Crystals.   

• How their shapes impact how they project energy. 
• How to clear and charge crystals to gain the best results. 
• What the best Crystals are for beginners? 
• How various crystals can help you with Anxiety, Negative
• Energy, calmness, Depression, New Beginnings, and more.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Carrie Wilkerson, “The longer you’re not taking action, the more money you’re losing.” What hit me with this quote is that action is good if we take the correct action.  For example, I always see this where business owners do not pay themselves.  As if the scraps of money left over should be enough. So how do we change this mindset of getting what’s left over to paying ourselves first so we can thrive inside and outside our businesses?

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Dave Ramsey, “You must gain control over your money, or the lack of it will forever control you.” Reflecting on my career and business for today's show topic, I realize how curious I have become about my relationship with money.  I can see all the ups and downs financially due to things that have been in my control and beyond my control.  The only control I have is being aware of my current situation, having a plan to support my future objectives and goals, and knowing when to change my plan or my price structure. 

So I ask you – what’s your relationship with money?  Are you thinking, “Connie, I love money; spending my money, and money is great!”  Or are you thinking, “Hum, that’s an excellent question?  I feel like I never have enough money, and no matter how hard I work, money seems hard for me to hold onto.” No matter the side you fall on with my questions, guess what? We all have money issues.  So how do we dig in and change our relationship with money?  I’m glad you asked!
