The School of Self-Mastery: Business, Money, Life

Fancy Frenchwood and I discuss what exactly is the perfect resignation letter, how did her letter get published in Forbes, and how she really felt about that, her top tips for writing you letter and when to leave your job.

A professional speaker, trainer and consultant with distinguished experience in operations, training and development, human resources, leadership and project management in multiple industries, Fancy brings a unique blend of experience to entrepreneurship. She left the corporate world after two consecutive roles where she felt stifled and diminished by toxic organizational culture and dysfunctional leadership.

After her resignation letter was published on Forbes.com, Fancy’s transition from corporate leader to entrepreneur has been seamless. Fancy’s drive, determination, ambition and persistence led to her first book, released in 2014, titled “The Perfect Resignation Letter - I Fired My Boss”.

Her mission is to empower and inspire women to grow beyond social or cultural values to become all they have envisioned for themselves. This first book will not be her last and she has many other projects in the works. She is becoming one of the most sought after speakers and hosts for conferences.

ARE YOU IMPLEMENTING THINGS?!

MASTERY is the secret of the world's greatest and most successful achievers.

What sets my work apart from any thing else is really quite simple.

I am focused on MASTERY, not information OVERLOAD.

Let me explain why I personally think mastery is so important…

Mastery is the highest form of achievement.

It DOES NOT require you to be perfect, but it does require you to pursue perfection.

The only way to become successful is to master the foundational elements that are aligned with your desired end results and goals.

The problem with most people is they have so much information - they take courses, read books, go to conferences, enroll in programs, watch countless webinars, read emails, etc...but they're so overwhelmed they take the wrong action, or even worse - they take NO ACTION & stay paralyzed.

The immature learner wants to get as much information as they can as fast as they can, but you’ll usually find them broke, stressed, and lacking real progress.

The mature mind is very deliberate with what they study and put in their mind.

Achievers that are ready for mastery focus on listening & learning one thing until they’ve adopted it into their daily routines and habits, and seen their results improve.

ONLY THEN do they move onto the next skill that’s aligned w/ their goals and vision.

Mastery of new skills is not optional in today’s business environment and changing economy. We're in a fast-moving, competitive world, & being able to master new skills is one of the keys to success.

Here are some keys to mastery:

BABY STEPS: Real progress and self-improvement can feel overwhelming. Realize that you can’t take on everything (this is why people don't see desired results in anything - they're focused on everything). If you do, you’ll never do it. Choose one or two things to focus on, and break that down into manageable bite-sized goals.

REFLECT: To move from experimentation to mastery, you need to reflect on what you are learning. Otherwise it won’t stick. Reflecting about your progress helps you get real feedback, keeps you accountable, and cements the change.

BE PATIENT: Too often, we approach a new skill with the attitude that we should nail it right out of the gate. The reality is that it takes much longer. It’s not going to happen overnight. This is where people get frustrated and switch gears to something else - DON'T GET FLIPPY FLOPPY! Stick with it. MASTER IT.

What are YOU going to MASTER?!

SOCIAL MEDIA ETI-KIT; The Rules of Engagement

You’re doing social media wrong if:

1. You’re not engaging well.

• you’re idea of engagement is posting more instead of realizing that no one is commenting because of two reasons 1. your copy isnt’ good or 2. no one knows you because you didn't build relationships.
• Your responses are too simple - no more canned responses!

2. You’re being spammy or sales w/ engagement EWWW.

• backdoor or front - doesn’t matter still gross.

3. You don’t care enough about what other people are doing - you need to get personal and care not just about your post - care about other people too. Do they know you?

4. You’re not adding value. Which is an annoying phrase cause what does that really mean?

Needs to be at least one of these things:

• shareable,
• implementable,
• aha-able,
• inspirational (only peppered in inspiration, not ALL inspiration).

5. You’re only focused on getting clients with social media instead of connecting with people for real reasons.
