Postcards From Success

Working by referral is proactive and different than the passive waiting on word of mouth. Working by referral is easier when you are a natural giver, it's more rewarding and it's ultimately less costly in time, emotion and the expense of lead generation. It's working with warm leads and repeat clients; people that know, like, trust and respect you. But how do we accomplish this? Over the course of the next few episodes, I'll share how I took my business from unpredictable, to predictable and 100% By Referral!

On March 29, 2017, I managed to score a big opportunity; a one on one interview with Dermot Buffini, CEO of Buffini & Company-the largest business coaching company in North America! This was originally posted on my previous Podcast: Mail-Right Real Estate Agent Show. Given, I just returned from the 20th Anniversary Master Mind 2018 Event, hosted by Brian Buffini & Company, I was inspired to share this timeless wisdom from the founders brother and this world-class company's CEO; get ready to take notes!

Life S.A.V.E.R.S. and getting "up before the enemy" as Jocko Willink would profess. The world goes negative quite often, we need to meet it with our positive minds, body and souls. We need to be equipped to twin the day before the the work day starts!

Today's show addresses many great topics: women in business, the holistic approach to health and health tips offered and health myths debunked. Move over Dr. Oz,we have San Diego's very own  Birgit Witherspoon of BBalanced.net ( (619) 379-1276 ) and Nicole Stone of RemeberToBreatheCenter.com (858.291.8581) on the show today! Weight loss, breaking bad habits and approaching health preventatively and holistically are among the topics we tackle on this episode.
