A Business Based on Selling Succulents with Melissa...

Power of After Show ·

2021/03/23

I was personally surprised that the search term for selling succulents was so popular. When I think of succulents, I think of a cactus, similar to the ones I’ve seen on long drives through the desert. But they are so much more! Melissa Murphy started Succulent Studios in her backyard and they carry 180 different varieties of those fleshy, juicy plants. In just three and a half years, they have grown their business selling succulents to shipping out over 60,000 orders monthly. That’s a lot of plants

The Ways Your Mind Can be Hacked: The Dangers of...

2021/03/16

You could be facing self-sabotage by permitting bad mental code or mindsets to infiltrate and control your thoughts. When thinking about sabotage, most think about a virtual enemy agent, but you could be doing just as much damage with your thoughts and actions. When you are hacked, whether virtually or personally, another entity gains unauthorized access. Without realizing it, you could be giving access to destructive thoughts, attitudes, feelings, then actions. An act of self-sabotage has the

What Economic Cycles Do to Entrepreneurs

Power of After Show ·

2021/03/09

When approaching this subject of economic cycles, it’s important first to define what an economic cycle is. An economic cycle is the fluctuation of the economy between periods of expansion, or growth, and contraction, or downturn. These fluctuations can have either devastating or positive effects on entrepreneurs. This is not meant to serve as an investment or financial guide. However, my husband Greg is joining me here with seven basic principles to weather economic cycles. He is a former

When Your Why has been Stolen and You're Left Without...

2021/03/02

Most projects and businesses need a strong why to be successful, but when change or disaster hits, many are left without purpose. This can feel like your why has actually been stolen! You may wonder if you can you get it back again. If a company is left without purpose, reinventing and restarting becomes a huge challenge and even impossible. This is because there is no clear direction. I relate this to circling on a roundabout that you can’t exit. Many small businesses and entrepreneurs spend time

The Result Driven vs. Project Driven Entrepreneur...

2021/02/23

If you are result driven, looking at the bottom line, it may take throwing a lot of spaghetti against the wall, as Thom Singer pointed out in this show! Many people love projects and creating, especially artists. I am definitely one of them! However, projects alone don’t buy groceries or pay the mortgage. You have to have a viable product and be able to sell it. Creating systems and a good process are very important but keeping your eye on what’s working and what isn’t is very important, especially

The Importance of Perspective in Life and Business

Power of After Show ·

2021/02/16

Your perspective in life will affect your perspective in business as they both overlap in many ways. The definition of perspective is view or outlook. Your overall mindset, whether positive or negative, directly influences your view of your life and business. (see: Saying Yes) It also works the other way around. Your view of your life and business can positively or negatively affect your mindset. If you look at the footprint of a building plan from the ground, it may seem to make no sense, but the

Helping Your Kids Make Crucial Life Choices

Power of After Show ·

2021/02/09

This episode flows out of several questions I’ve received from Women at Halftime Podcast listeners on helping kids make life choices, especially in choosing a life partner. As my husband and I talked this over, we wondered if we truly had enough valuable words of advice on the subject. We also realized making crucial life choices included so much more than choosing a spouse. There are other choices they constantly make as they enter adulthood that can have long-term effects for them as well as for

What is a Roundabout and a Roundabout Hero™?

2021/02/02

Today, most people know what a roundabout is and are not asking, What is a roundabout? But in 1930, when the Traffic Circle was newly built in Long Beach, California, this traffic circle roundabout was the first of its kind in the United States. Now, we see many roundabouts all around our country and they are especially common in European countries. Roundabouts don’t just happen once in a lifetime. Many feel like they’re continually circling after our recent Pandemic. In fact, I’ve heard the word

Many people may feel they have a good story to tell the world, and then start asking the question on how to write a book. Should you attempt writing a book and why? How do you even start? Is there a certain path you take? And is it worth it? In this episode, I'm interviewing Kim O’Hara, Book Coach to Best Sellers®, and her business A Story Inside. She had some wonderful words of advice, some which are shared here in this episode. If you answer the main questions of why to write a book, what to write

2021/01/19

One of the things I love when on my NordicTrack Stationary Bike is the ability to virtually pedal anywhere in the world, but many times we are biking on the wrong side of the road. Or at least it feels like the wrong side of the road compared to our highways in the United States. Driving on the left—like they do in Great Britain, Ireland, Scotland and many other European countries—made sense as swordsmen in the 18th century preferred to keep left in order to have their right arm nearer to an

Does it Work to Create Goals as a Couple?

2021/01/12

Why create goals together? Is it worth it? Aren’t goals outdated? Many of you in a significant relationship may wonder if it’s really worth the trouble to create goals as a couple. As my husband, Greg, and I worked through our thoughts in approaching this topic, we found there were some very valuable principles to be had. You may not always create goals together to obtain the same objective, but the process of that creation in moving each other forward separately, then together, is an important one

Setting Your New Year Goals: What Should You Include?

How important are New Year Goals anyway? Do they do any good? Don’t people just fail fast? Studies show that 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail, so just calling a goal a resolution can make you feel like you’re a failure! What should you focus on if you even establish New Year Goals? I’m going to make some suggestions and hopefully stimulate some ideas for you in this episode. This next year I’m focusing on simplicity, accountability and connection. I tend to be very driven, so focusing more on

Just saying the word technology scares many people and the thought of technology tools can send one into a panic! But in this episode we will focus on the basics. Even though I’ve delved quite deep into using technology as I’ve recorded a number of music albums, I still look to simplify my use of the tools. With my overall aim of simplifying my life and working more remotely between appearing in both live and virtual events, I want the tools that I keep in my virtual toolbox to work seamlessly. Of

Since this past year has held so many challenges and changes, the ability to laugh at ourselves brings relief and even respite from the stress.

Going Down the Rabbit Hole of Distraction: The Costs

2020/12/08

When I think of going down the rabbit hole, I think of Alice in Wonderland. Alice disappears down the rabbit hole to a fantastic place holding bizarre adventures. The story was originally called Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in an 1865 novel by English author Lewis Carroll. Whenever there is a promise of new adventure on the other side of a locked door, which could be a new tech tool, a new business idea or even a side project, there is the danger of getting distracted from your main goal or

If you look up the term creative construction, you will find it used in multiple ways, from language development, new landscapes, innovation and other uses. I have used creative construction to describe the way Dan Gaudy, a building contractor, uniquely sets himself apart in his business of landscape design and construction. Using his knack for design, along with 3D software has helped him paint a picture for his clients in visualizing their dreams and to serve them more completely. The basics of a

Do you believe you have the inner strength to reinvent, restart or pursue your dreams? Will that resolve be enough to really keep going, especially if pursuing a new direction or taking a risk? According to a recent KPMG study the biggest obstacle for women taking risks over the age of 40 is confidence. Even if you are confident in one area, there may be huge mental obstacles you are facing in venturing into a new area. Obstacles that are holding you back can be the fear of being judged by others or
