Hope is a sneaky thing. It’s something that pops its head out in our darkest hours. As our body cannot survive for so long without food and water, I do believe that our spirit cannot survive for so long without hope.

Today, we are joined by our next bestselling author and a very close friend of Kathy and me, Tammie Denyse. She will be sharing with us her inspiring story of how hope changed her life.

“My definition of hope is that there is always a reason to get up again. It’s being able to access life whatever it looks like. There is always an opportunity for our life to be better or different than what it is right now.” —Tammie

Today is going to be your day of hope. Claim it! Join Steve on Thriving Entrepreneur.

Today, we are joined by two amazing authors who will be sharing with us how doing small and simple things can make a big difference in our life.

K. Moneak, author of Make It Happen

Sometimes in life, we wonder why we are always in the same predicament. We complain and whine about how much we want to change our situation but can’t seem to change things. Why? Because we’re not doing anything. Taking action is the key to making things happen in your life, and K. Moneak’s book will give you six actions that you can take to start making things happen in your life.

“Leap now. I don’t care if it looks impossible, if it looks hard, or if it looks overwhelming — it’s probably the right thing to do because we are destined for greatness.” — K. Moneak

Tricia Nelson, author of Heal Your Hunger: 7 Simple Steps to End Emotional Eating Now

If you’re an emotional eater, listen in as Tricia shares some tips from her book on how you can start healing your hunger. She shares with us her Pep Test, which is her quick version of how you can identify what’s really going on when you’re having food cravings.

“My mission in life is to help people heal their hunger because it’s not just a hunger for food; the hunger goes much deeper.” — Tricia

Be invested in yourself. Take the time to be more and do more. Find ways to overcome, and to grow. Take small steps toward the right directions. Do simple things that will slowly take you where you need to go.

Soaring to New Heights: My Quest for an Education That Began at Age 56 by Trevor Hucey

Trevor shares how the decision he made to go back to school changed his life completely. “I made a deal with my wife. She asked me to take 1 class and decide afterward if I want to continue or not. I did exceptionally well in my first class because of the research that I did. I got a 4.0. I was on cloud 9. I didn’t believe it was possible and that gave me the confidence to continue. My wife saw something in me that I didn’t see that is why I dedicate this book to her.” Trevor said.

Undeniable You: 7 Steps To Soar by Myrtha Dubois

Myrtha’s talks about going through the process of recognition, discovery, and understanding while learning to embrace your path and your purpose. “The title of my book is Undeniable You: 7 Steps To Soar and the reason why it’s “undeniable” is through my journey and experiences growing spiritually, I became one with myself. I knew there was more to me than just what I see in front of the mirror and I needed to bring who the real Myrtha is to the world; a person who I know, a lot of people can relate to.“ Myrtha said.

Hey, beautiful! Today, we are going to celebrate the most important person in your life — YOU! It’s time to start embracing yourself as the beautiful and strong individual that you are. Two amazing bestselling authors will be celebrating with us: Tiffany Okafor and Erica Darlene Sampson.

Erica is the bestselling author of the book, The Power To Believe In Your Greatness: A Story of Triumph and Resilience. In the show, she’ll share with us her story and how she came to believe in her own greatness. Pain has a way of knocking us to our knees and sucking the life out of us, but you were designed to be great and do great things while here on this Earth

When you hear the word “bitch,” it’s automatically associated with negative thoughts. But not in Tiffany’s book. In her book, Bitchy: The NO-BS Woman's Guide to Claiming the Love, Peace of Mind, and Happiness She Deserves, that word stands for — a "beautiful individual that communicates honestly.” In the show, she’ll talk about what it means to be a “bitch” and how much that can make a big difference in your life.

You are beautiful. You are resilient. Your opinions have value and now is your time to learn how to be 100% you. Doing that is what living your life as a Thriving Entrepreneur really means. Join Steve Kidd in this amazing interview with Erica and Tiffany on Thriving Entrepreneur

Listen to Kathy as she shares with you how you can be a recognized Celebrity Expert in Your Field.

Kathy will help you play an A-game and be a recognized brand to your target market so you can be known and impact the world with your message! Interviewed by Michelle Brubaker at http://yournextquantumleap.com.  — with Kathy Kidd.

What do the people you want as clients think of you? Do they see you as a member of their group or as an annoying outsider that is always trying to sell them something? OR  do they recognize your name but have no idea what you do?

When we think of approaching our potential clients, often we get it wrong from the start.  We need to truly be a contributing member of our “tribe.”  Our tribe is the group of people just like us that could be our potential clients.  However, people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. 

We all know the type of person we don’t want to be perceived as.  That person who enters a room and immediately begins selling you something.  The kind of person who corners you in a social situation to “pitch” you.   You know you don’t want to be this person! You know you don’t want to be that person everyone avoids. LOL 

Now ask yourself; how is my approach and presence on social media?  What we want is to be the person everyone seeks out.

How do we do that? 

To start with, we need to approach our online presence with a spirit of giving.  We need to be a contributing member of your tribe. 

What you want is for all of the members of your tribe to be on your team.  You want them to refer people to you when they have a need you can meet.  How do we do that?

Social marketing and online marketing expert Don Crowther is going to share some insights with us on how to really be present and effective in your social media.

Learn how you can add benefit to your tribe and how you can create a presence that makes people want to be on your mailing list and interact with you.

Let Don and Steve show you how to make all of your tribe part of your team!

For the entrepreneur over 35, meaning not a millennial, there can be a substantial gap in how we use the technology that is available to use to serve us.  By understanding how technology can improve the quality of our lives and our business we can then remove fear and hatred and begin to understand how tools like WordPress can help us grow our business.  With this understanding comes ease that allows our business to take a monumental leap in our ability to reach and serve our customers more efficiently.

This episode is important to all business owners to help them have the maximum impact on their business.  Listen in as lifelong technology superstar Tom Moline joins host Steve Kidd to help Simplify Technology for you today on Thriving Entrepreneur.

If you talk to enough successful business people most will agree that one of the key reasons many people fail is...they do not have a plan to succeed!

Some people don't know how to plan, and some are just waiting for success to come get them.  They wake up in the morning and just expect that success will have miraculously shown up overnight.  That couldn’t be further from the truth.  Success is not a gamble. It is not an accident; it is not fate, it is something that happens as a result of specific things that successful people do.

It has been said, “Successful people do every day what other people aren’t willing to do.”  We are going to share some amazing insights from phenomenal successful business women that you WANT to know - SANDRA YANCEY.  But I will warn you -   The truth is success takes work!

From performers to business people the ones who succeed are the ones who work at it – diligently  - every day.  Success in business isn't something they wish for wait for or hope for; it is something they make happen, and they do it starting off by having a plan for success.  And now you can too!

There are some very solid things you can DO to succeed.  These are the kinds of things we can’t do by accident these are things we need to have planned out (and then follow them).

To give us insight in succeeding on purpose, host Steve Kidd is delighted to be joined by a phenomenally successful woman - Sandra Yancey!  Sandra has built the largest women's networking organization in the world and has surrounded herself with powerhouse friends, mentors and talent like Mark Cuban, Ken Rutkowski, Lisa Nichols, Matthew Knowles and so many others.  Sandra is one of THE go to people for business advice.  Listen in as Steve talks with the one, the only, the amazing – SANDRA YANCEY!
