- The How & Why of Miracle Mornings
I chose Miracle as my One Word for 2020 largely because of this book: Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod. It's because I truly wanted to make Miracle Mornings a habit in 2020. I had a taste of this in the summer of 2019 when I did Miracle Mornings as a 30-day challenge (something the book encourages you to do) and I thought it was fantastic then. This podcast covers the how and why of Miracle Mornings and how it just might make your own 2020 a bit miraculous!

27 min - No More Resolutions: Pick One Word for 2020
Ninety-two percent of us will make resolutions this year and not keep them. We'll give up on them by February and settle back in to business as usual. This is why we ADORE the One Word for the Year practice. Pick One Word. It works as a singular focus for your entire year. Not that you still can't have goals and other foci, etc., but there's something magical about choosing one word for the year to focus you and create change in a specific area. Check out this video to learn about our One Word for the year and how we're turning it into a habit. Let us know what your One Word idea is below!
11 min - Two simple pointers on Customer Service to remember
Whether you're a very small business or an established, large corporation, here are two simple pointers on customer service we think are important for everyone to remember. First is a quote to tack up on your wall that we absolutely LOVE. It's from the Chief Talent Officer for Netflix, Patty McCord. "Over the years, we learned that if we asked people to rely on logic and common sense instead of on formal policies, most of the time we would get better results, and at a lower cost." So in this video, you'll hear us expound upon Patty's quote for organizations. Second is a simple customer service acronym that we think is a nice, easy go-to that most people can remember. LAST: Listen, Apologize, Solve and Thank. We'll walk you through some simple thoughts on this acronym as well. What about you? What customer service stories do you have and do you think you could apply this quote and acronym to what you do in the future? Let us know in the comments below and thanks for stopping by!

Cheers and here's to a great year of business for you!

9 min - What an entrepreneur learned from a YEAR of Gratefulness
I kept a grateful journal for an entire year. What did I learn? SO much that I want to share with my fellow entrepreneurs!! All of this was inspired by Brene Brown who states that gratefulness is inextricably related to joy. I decided to take a year to test that. It did NOT disappoint!!

10 min - Why Being GRATEFUL Matters in Business
We all know being in business is not for the faint at heart. Each and every year presents its own new challenges to overcome, hurdles to face, roadblocks to figure out and celebrations along the way. We're pausing for a celebration and reflection moment since it's our 3 Year Anniversary of being in business. Here are my Top 10 lessons learned this year - my lesson in GRATEFULNESS being Number One. What about you? Are you in business? I'd love to know some of your top nuggets!
MY TOP 10:
- Gratefulness is essential.
- Be selective about your extracurricular activities - keep them to the powerful few.
- Don't be afraid to try new things: Hello Fall Challenge, Instagram Online Pilot Course. The work is there if you want it.
- Niching down takes time and that's OK.
- Targeting a new audience takes time and that's OK too.
- Focus on your best use.
- Potential partners: you have to know, like and trust each other first.
- New levels requires new mentorship.
- Minimalism is life-changing. [ Scotland, Entrepreneurship ]
- Treat yo self.
