She Leads Confidently

Confidence is the key to your success in life and business. There is a nine-letter word that may be one of the most powerful words for people to embrace. Too many people have trouble with this one word and I believe women are even more challenged. But once you make peace with the word and understand the power of a confident woman your world will change. This 9 letter word is one of the powerful words for people to embrace. Confident women are viewed differently than from confident men. These views are what causes women to hold back, play small. I am begging all women, all people to step up and into greatness. Know you will be accepted by those who matter.

A New Normal is Creating a Challenge for People. During these times of the COVID-19 pandemic, each day brings a new normal. The ground keeps shifting around everyone shaking their foundation. It seems for each plan they make it changes the next day. No one has summer vacation plans due to the virus, money, lack of jobs and most places are still closed. The country reopened for 2 weeks then the earth moved again. It shifted with the protest of racial inequality. This is causing pain, frustration, and depression, and in some, anger. If you are off-balanced try to meditate or at least be still. We are not through this therefore the importance of being grounded is even more important. Try to relax and know that in the end, all will be well.

Is this fear causing you to miss out on New Adventures? New Opportunities? Way too many people hold back due to FOMM. Fear of Making a Mistake. Never taking that final step that could lead them to their dreams. Never finishing, or never marketing that new class for FOMM. Whatever happened to the knowledge that everyone makes mistakes. What has caused so many people to be frozen at the thought of making a mistake? My guess, social media. When you make a mistake now everyone sees it. Over my 20+ years as a leader, I have made at least one million mistakes. Including falling off a stage, giving a presentation and the numbers were all wrong and introducing the keynote speaker by the wrong name. Do you know what I learned? Some people laugh, a few will say mean things and the rest will shrug their shoulders. Sure, I was embarrassed and beat myself up more than I needed. But, in the end, I learned the lesson and moved on. I could have chosen to stay stuck in place but who does that serve? Certainly not me. Nor YOU. Embrace that you will make mistakes. Some small and inconsequential and some major ones. At the end of the day, I can promise you will survive and even thrive. You'll thrive because when you overcome obstacles it gives you a boost of confidence to know you are indeed a SHERO. Never let fear steal your dreams!

Pam Sears leads the way in overcoming all of life's obstacles. Pam was fired from her job unexpectedly. Then with her two young boys decided it was time to leave her unsupportive husband. This was done during a time when women seldom left a husband with no support, no job, and no fallback plan. Pam had a strong belief in herself and knew it would work out. She started attending a massage school and became a business owner. Everything was on track, personally, professionally, and financially. The business was doing great; boys were growing into wonderful men when it happened. Pam calls it her '2x4' moment. You know, when you get hit by a 2X4 totally unexpectedly. She found out that she had breast cancer. Another large obstacle she would have to overcome. With a strong level of tenacity, Pam promised herself she would overcome and come out stronger. Pam survived and in fact even thrived. She learned that self-care is important and to find love in all occasions. I think of Pam as the Heart Lady. Pam takes pictures of all the hearts she sees in the Universe. Reminding her followers to also practice self-care and be filled with love. Now, faced with a massive economic downturn, Pam is poised to face yet another obstacle. But with typical Pam optimism, she knows all will be well. Her beloved camera broke, no worries for Pam, she went to a pawnshop and bought another. Her business took a dip. That's fine she is rethinking her offering, how to offer them and trying new avenues to get her message out there. Pam is a woman of conviction who does whatever it takes to get her message of love and overcoming what life throws at you. Check out Pam's online website or her YouTube channel.

Be a Tall Poppy and let Your Voice be Heard. Tall Poppy syndrome I think originated in Australia At least that is where I learned the expression. When someone is a tall poppy they are 'standing out.' Drawing attention to themselves like that is a bad thing. The saying implies that standing out is a bad thing. I think the opposite. When you stand out, you are CONFIDENT in who you are and what you do. There is zero need to hide your greatness. Yet sayings like this one make people step back fearful they will be a tall poppy. For years I was heckled and ridiculed for standing out, or as my mother would say 'drawing attention to myself.' So, I pulled back. Hiding behind others, waiting to be invited to join. Now I look back and only see missed opportunities. But when you pull back, be LESS THAN, you are helping no one. You are only benefiting the person who was insecure in the first place to call you a tall poppy. Have confidence and faith to stand proudly in your voice. Know you are here for a specific reason and live daily in that reason. Promise yourself you will be the TALLEST poppy in the field, heck in the Universe. As the saying goes, You do You!

You got to give to get During these crazy times, everyone seems to be cutting back. The economy is constricting as unemployment is rising. I see more people becoming fearful. Small businesses need to be proactive and stay in front of their customer. This can be done by hosting free webinars (although I think everyone is doing that right now), discount their training, or free groups. All are great ideas. The key now is provide value to your customer and potential customer. For years my family and I vacations at the same hotel at Laguana Beach. Until they raised their rates and stopped making deal. We quit going. Now, the phone is ringing with hey we have great specials for the summer. We said no thanks. How you treat people now will determine your success moving forward. A great motto to have is . . .give more than you take.

Now It's Time to Stand in My Power. We as women have over the past hundred of years have been controlled. Told what a good girl looks like, how to act and behave. Those who have abuse in their background are even more compliant. We become 'People Pleasers' her not make other people happy at our own expense. Women must decide that they come onto this world as strong young girls then become domesticated. Tolerant. Willig to settle. But I know ladies we can do better. We can support and encourage one another. The question to ask yourself almost daily is: Who were you meant to be BEFORE you became who you are? Look deep within to the promise you made yourself as a child. How you would not change like the adults around you did. Make you way back to that person. Most important thing is to be happy, be true to you and follow your heart.

Believe in You and keep going. I love studying human behaviors. If you really want to see how humans behave and thing...is an election season. Some people lead, others follow. Who is mentally strong and not? VP Biden was running out of money, had no organization to speak about and little hope. However, he receives a few endorsements and bam...he's back in. That is a winner. Just keep going. Sometimes you can't know quit. You must keep following your dreams. Trust in your skills. You are sure at the end of every challenging journey is a success. Or at the least a lesson to be learned. Step back and see what you are suppose to learn. Just remember Winners never quit!
