  • Santa Fe Miracle —Epic Family Road Trip

    Andrea shares the Santa Fe Miracle she's waited over 20 years to see and a few other highlights from the time in New Mexico with her family. Sharing our journey isn't about bragging but it is about inspiring you to get out and do bigger things than you ever dreamed of doing. Sometimes when you look at other people doing great things it is easy to think that they have a lot of resources or a lot of backing but a lot of times it is just small choices along the way that change the course of their life.

    We have chosen the entrepreneur life and we have helped countless others to change their perspective and take the leap into entrepreneurship to afford them more freedom, more time, and more energy to spend focusing on the important things of life which we think include focusing on your health (physically, emotionally, and spiritually), building relationships with your family and friends, and making an impact in your community.

  • The Unusual Way Gary Vee & Warren Buffet Became Successful

    Andrea shares a unique key for success and the Unusual Way Gary Vee and Warren Buffet Became Successful. It's a key that anyone can use but very few do in our modern age. It is one of the simplest strategies you can employ in any relationship but especially in business to be successful but very few are willing to do this.

    The key is simply building relationships by doing what you say you will do, keeping your word, and doing business with a handshake. It isn't fancy and it isn't complicated.
    The entirety of your reputation can be boiled down to whether you keep your word and do what you say you will do when you will do it. Your reputation will never be better than "your word", but your reputation can grow in proportion to how you keep your word.

  • How to Deal with Angry Customers in Business

    What do you do when somebody walks through your door yelling and complaining about something terrible that had happened? How do you deal with Angry Customers in Business? Well I heard a really interesting insight recently and they captured this concept with the phrase, "Only one person can be in the angry boat at a time."

    Most people don't know how to deal with angry customers in business and are afraid of those situations and try to de-escalate things immediately. But, when people feel like you aren't taking them seriously that you don't hear them they will try to escalate the situation even more. They're going to increase their emotion, their voice, and the urgency of the situation and demand to be heard.
    But, by being counter-intuitive and meeting that angry customer with a greater amount of energy, greater anger, even demonstrative anger about the situation and recognize how that client or customer or person was wronged then you will catch the person completely off guard because you're taking the weight of their complaint seriously. And, in doing so that person will then totally try to de-escalate the situation and often backtrack and apologize and declare how wrong they were that it wasn't that big of a deal they just wanted somebody to make it right and they wanted to be heard.
    Getting angry with the customer shows them how serious the issue is for you and will drive home to them the reality that you care. You can turn a situation around completely and win a customer or client for life by the way that you meet them in that moment. So don't be afraid of those angry moments. Don't be afraid of angry customers.
    I've said for years that, "Your Biggest Problem is Your Greatest Opportunity." And, as terrible and humiliating as it might be when they first walk in the door meet them where they are and rectify the situation. You have the opportunity to make a customer for life even if they came into the store as one of your angriest customers.

  • How Practicing Gratitude Changed My Life —The INCREDIBLE Benefits of Gratitude Journaling

    Andrea shares Gratitude Journaling Benefits and how she learned to keep a very simple Journal of Gratitude and the benefits of this mini habit which helped her to endure a critical season in her life in a way that was way more positive and powerful than it ever could have been without this tool.

    The Practice of Gratitude is vital if you're in survival mode, if you're in a difficult place, or if you're in a dark place. If you feel like you can't even keep your head above water whether that's financially, emotionally, relationally, physically then this tool is for you. The key is to simply record on a daily basis for the next 30 days one to three things that you are grateful for. It will transform your life.
    Gratitude Journaling impacted Andrea's fortitude, her resilience, her patience, her character, in ways that she could never have imagined. And, her emotional capacity and strength and ability to rebound in the face of difficult circumstances and to take on difficult things in life is directly connected to enduring that season and learning to live with gratitude.

  • How to Be More Authentic — How to Be a Great Leader — [The SECRET Key]

    Andrea shares the secret for how you can become more authentic. If you want to learn how to be a leader or how to become a great leader learning to share your failures is one of the secrets. As Andrea says, "If you share your failures people can connect to that and it will resonate with them. They know their own failures intimately. But, they don't know yours and they don't know anyone else's."

    You can learn how to be authentic and learn how to connect with people. Use your failures as a bridge to connect with people will help you become a better leader.

  • The First Step I Took to Stop Being Poor and Start Building Wealth

    Andrea shares the first step she took when she decided to Stop Being Poor and Start Building Wealth. This step was Radically Simple, Totally Free, and Relatively Easy. And, it helped her to stop being poor by eliminating a poverty mindset, which she did not even know that she had, and to start building wealth by helping her to build a wealth mindset.

    Thriving in life is easier when you have resources and are not in debt or running on empty all the time. If you want to learn how to build wealth or how to become wealthy and start making money by getting out of the rat race -this is the first step. If you want to stop being broke and start getting money and don't know what to do this is the first step.
    This key is simple but totally life changing. It will help you to change the way you think about money. It will change the way you speak about money. It will change the way that you act about money.
    The quickest way to change your mind about money is to change the way that you speak about money. Andrea shows you how she eliminated one word from her vocabulary and replaced it with a similar word that meant something totally different. And, in doing this she began to change her belief system around money.
    If you are have no money but are committed to not being poor anymore then this key is for you.
    You can get out of debt and discover financial freedom. You can build wealth from nothing.You can create wealth but first you have to create a wealth mindset. It starts with changing the way you think about money and changing the way that you speak about money and how you interact with and handle your money.

  • YOU WERE MADE TO WIN!! Win Against All Odds!! —Win at Life!!

    You Were Made to Win! You Were Made to Win Against All Odds! You Can Win at Life! Andrea shares the story of Rich Strike and the Kentucky Derby and why shouldn't look at the odds you've been given. Winning is not determined by the odds you are facing. Winning is determined by the heart you have to run, the heart you have to fight, the heart you have to persist in the face of great difficulty. Winning is about getting back up when you get knocked down. Winning is about running even when you want to quit and everyone else says you should quit. Run your race. Keep your eyes on the prize.

    Don't look at all the reasons you could fail or you shouldn't be a winner. Don't look at all the things against you. Don't look at your past failures.
    Andrea shares a story that has inspired her and helped her to focus her mind on overcoming and not discounting herself when she feels like an outsider, late to the game, or like an inconsequential player.
    The story of Rich Strike is the story of "Rocky" in the form of a horse. It is jaw-dropping to watch the footage from the Kentucky Derby Race in 2022 but it is even more amazing to hear the full story of how Rich Strike, his jockey, his trainer, and owner, all together pressed through the odds to stand in the Winner's Circle.
    And, who knows what will happen in the 2023 Kentucky Derby.... will Rich Strike win again?
    Shut out failure. Persist in the face of great odds. Run your race.
