Go Be Great

I have a quick question.  If Your Goals Aren't SMART…then are they DUMB?

Now listen I am not trying to be crass there but it's a legitimate question and I'll tell you a little later about what I mean by DUMB...and it's not what you think.  So hang in there with me. 

 As you know, setting goals is the key to success in any area of life.  But not all goals are created equal.  In fact, some goals are actually counterproductive and can hold you back from achieving your true potential.  

In today's episode, I'm going to give you some usable action tips to begin to set and get your goals.

We all have a core authentic self, which is the person we are deep down inside. This is the person that we truly are, without any masks or pretenses. Our authentic self is who we are when we are alone and no one is watching. It is the part of us that is honest, vulnerable, and real.

Unfortunately, many of us do not feel comfortable with our authentic selves. We may feel like we have to put on a persona in order to be accepted by others. We may feel like we need to pretend to be someone else in order to fit in. Or, we may simply be afraid of being judged if we show our true colors.

The problem with not being comfortable with our authentic selves is that we are not living our life authentically. We are not being true to ourselves. We are not living in alignment with our values and beliefs. And, as a result, we may end up feeling unhappy and unfulfilled.

The good news is that it is possible to become comfortable with our authentic selves. It takes time and effort, but it is definitely possible. 

In today's episode, I'm going to give you some usable action tips to begin to deep dive into being your authentic self but most importantly you will have tips to become comfortable with your core authentic self.

In today's episode, we are going to do a very deep dive into this not-so-great phenomenon and I want to say beforehand...I am not trying to offend anyone.  I want to get to the heart of the matter so we can see and experience transformation in our own lives.  It's time to get off the sidelines.  IT'S GO TIME, LADIES!!!  GO BE GREAT!

Recently, I've been on a quest to learn more about networking.  Something that I have adamantly ran from and absolutely hated.  Truth be told...I did not understand it.  I'm making it my business to understand now. 

Networking is one of the most important things you can do for your business, but it's also one of the most intimidating. 

It's hard to know where to start and what to do when you're networking. You don't want to come across as pushy or sales-y, but you also want to make a good impression, genuinely connect, build relationships, give of yourself and get some leads.

In this episode, I am speaking to LaDawn VanKirk who specializes in direct sales and LaDawn is sharing her tips, tools and strategies for impactful networking.  

Listen to this fireside chat and how to network effectively so that you can build relationships with potential clients, partners, and suppliers.

Helping Families Protect Their Digital Lives 🔒 ID Theft Protection Specialist

There's a popular saying that goes, "fake it until you make it." And while this phrase is often used in a positive light, there's actually a lot of harm that can come from faking it until you make it. 

The purpose of this phrase is to encourage people to act confident even if they don't feel confident. The thinking is that by pretending to be confident, you'll eventually become confident. 

But the problem with this approach is that it doesn't work in the long run. Sure, you might be able to fake confidence for a little while, but eventually, your true feelings will come through. And when they do, you'll likely find yourself in an even worse position than before because now you're forced with dealing with a reality that you've put off and are not required to process through. 

In today's episode, we are going to do a semi-deep dive into clean positive and motivation.

Featured Guest:  Sara Im - How I Survived the Killing Fields

AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR & SPEAKER

As a survivor of the “Killing Fields in Cambodia,” during the oppressive Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970s, Sara speaks to inspire, motivate and encourage others to have hope, more courage, and a positive perspective in life. She understands that many people struggle (silently) with emotional and physical pain, due to high stress, and health and personal issues that prevent them from fully enjoying life. By sharing her experience of survival in a Cambodian forced labor camp, she hopes to create a more positive perspective for her audience. She feels that because she survived, it's part of her duty to help others go beyond survival and live a life of harmonious unity in body, mind, and spirit.

My mission is to inspire, motivate and encourage people to have hope, resilience, and a positive perspective in their life. - Sara Im

It’s an inspirational book as the author shares her compelling true story which follows her tranquil journey as a young girl that grew up in Cambodia. The journey of her young age through her early college years, until that fateful day when she was pushed, as with others into hiding and eventually caught in a horrific and tragic event called: the Killing Fields. Over two million people perished during these four years of tyranny. She walks you through the darkest days of her life until she came out to the light again. Once you read her book, your perspective on life will be positively changed.

There are so many dreams that we have running right before our eyes and so many aspirations that we hold dear.

But self-doubt, discounting ourselves, and discounting the value we have to provide to others can be so much more prevalent.
