High-Achieving Women's Blogazine

I recently read a great article about Kelly Falardeau.  According to Kelly, the questions she is always asked are:

• How do you do that?
• How do you walk out the door with scars on your face?
• How did you start your balloon store?
• How did you create a mobile scrapbook store?
• How did you write your book?
• How did you become a recognized speaker?
• How did you become one of the Top 10 Most Influential Speakers?
• How did you win the People’s Choice Award?
• How did you get over the starring and teasing?
• How did you handle the bullying and name-calling?
• How did you become a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth Award?

She said that she gets a gazillion questions about her life on a daily basis.  Kelly had a tragic accident when she was 2 years old and was burned on over 75% of her body, resulting in countless surgeries until she was 21 years old.

She endured the staring, teasing and rejection most of her life.

So how did she accomplish all those above great things?  Very simple – she learned how to take the ‘t’ out of can’t.  She made a radical decision that saying can’t was not an option.  If she wanted something, she had to find a way to get it or forget about it – because can’t was not an option in her household.

“Most people focus on what they are ‘going through’; successful people focus on what they are ‘going to’…”

If you are looking to improve your business’s success factor, take note of these suggestions and apply as needed to achieve business growth.

1. Develop a plan. You will never arrive at your destination if you start on a random path to an unknown place. You must have a Strategic Success Plan (Chapter 4) that defines your business intentions— both short- and long-term.

2. Identify your distractions. If you stop at the side of the road to sightsee constantly, you will have a long delay. You may even get into unexpected trouble because you let your eyes wander from your defined course.

3. Learn to prioritize. Don’t give too much attention to the wrong things at the wrong times. Periodically ask yourself, “How important is this?” The answer to that question will help you to stay on course.

4. Track your progress. Oftentimes, you have made more progress than you realize. So ask yourself: “How much have I accomplished, and how long did it take me to do that?” Be sure that your progress is reasonable for the development stage of your business, and keep moving forward.

5. Get some help. I am so sorry to have to tell you this, but you don’t know it all. Wearing too many hats—even though hats are stylish—can be detrimental.  Therefore, you need to learn from others who have accomplished the same intentions or achieved the same results that you are trying to accomplish, and apply their advice.

6. Don’t be selfish. Some intention-oriented people have a tendency to be selfish—their frame of reference is “it’s all about me.” Remember that there are people around you that you can help. What goes around does come back around, so what you do for others will come back to you.

7. Finish what you start. If you notice that you haven’t achieved your expected results, it may be because you are not finishing what you started. Learn to focus and follow through every step of the way. Be the best at everything you attempt to do before you move on to the next great idea.

These strategies were taken from my new book: Fit, Fine & Fabulous in Career, Business & Life.  Click here to order and also receive $2,000 worth of bonus gifts that will catapult your career or business.

In the chapter entitled: How to Fast-Track to Get your Career on Track, I discuss the concept of “Build and Leap” for career success.

Here is the except from my book:

“The cornerstone of the “Taking It to a Whole New Level” concept for career acceleration is to move from a ‘climb the ladder’ mentality to a “Build and Leap” mentality.

‘Build and Leap’ is a simple process whereby you build a career ramp (Career Transformation Plan), and then you begin executing your intentions at a faster pace so that you can leap to greater career achievements. Now contrast this process with climbing a very tiresome ladder, one rung at a time. “Build and Leap” is the best way to fast-track to get your career on track.”

The video below will give you 5 of my best tips for fast-tracking your career.

I am honored that Dr. Cindy Trimm wrote the foreword for my new book: Fit, Fine & Fabulous in Career, Business & Life – the eBook will be released on tomorrow, April 26^th.

Dr. Trimm is a best-selling author, high impact teacher, former Senator, featured speaker on the world’s largest platforms, and frequent guest on Christian TV and radio programs,

Here is what Dr. Trimm said about Fit, Fine & Fabulous:

“It does not matter where we are in your life – successful or still struggling, just starting a new career, or retiring, we all need that extra boost of encouragement every now and then. No matter where you are emotionally, psychologically, financially or socially, you will be positively impacted by the invaluable principles you will learn by reading this book. You will be inspired and motivated to discover or rediscover who you are and what you are purposed to do.   We all can benefit from having a compass to assist us in making destiny decisions.  This is what I consider this book to be – a proverbial compass.

Contrary to what you have been told or believe, there are no secrets, magic bullets or gimmicks to achieving success. Fit, Fine & Fabulous in Career, Business & Life is based on the principle that you can shape your destiny once you know who you are and why you were born, you have decided on where you want to go and have established clear goals for what you want to achieve.

This book by Dr. Laureen is not just another collection of tips and ideas; it is truly a guide to revamping every area of your life. She has lived every process described in this book and has interviewed over 500 women who wanted to succeed but had at least one obstacle that they thought was hindering their success.  She has helped them figure out what really matters and showed them how to transform their career, business and life.  I believe she can help you too.

If your dreams and plans appear to be stagnated and your progress is stalled in a holding pattern, don’t quit yet.  Read on and enjoy the journey as this author takes you on a literary voyage, revealing how she overcame obstacles, fertilized the seeds of her dreams and designed a vision until she was able to walk into her own Fit, Fine & Fabulous status.”

Re-Imagine, Re-Invent and Re-Emerge into your God-given destiny.

Dr. Cindy Trimm
