Just came across this post on LinkedIn and my mouth literally dropped open. HAD to share ... "I stopped asking for support from people who never had the capacity to understand my vision." The wrong audience will make you feel like you’re dreaming too big. But the right purpose will remind you that you were created to lead, not to fit in. Some of the most dangerous advice comes from people who quit on themselves. Some of the deepest discouragement comes from people who’ve never healed. Some of the loudest opinions come from people who never did the work. I had to stop shrinking. Stop explaining. Stop waiting on validation. I realized my vision came from God — not from human approval. The struggle taught me this simple truth: When God gives you a mission, don’t let small minds talk you out of big steps.( Life Coach Byron) Wow, just wow! Sandi

The terminology may be foreign to you but let me explain ... When a customer (new or past) reaches out to me, it is because: a) they have a problem. b) they believe I have the skills, experience, etc. to help them solve that problem. c) they want my help. They do NOT want to buy a product or training seminar or hire me as a keynote. THEY WANT THE SOLUTION TO THEIR PROBLEM. So focus on that ... "Oh, yeah, that IS frustrating. I have worked with many that have that exact same issue and I have several ways I can help and which one depends on what you would like the solution to look like. If you think your team needs inspiration so they can fix this, that's a keynote. If your team doesn't know HOW to fix this, that's a lunch and learn session, a training seminar or workshop. (And considering how in-depth this issues is, I would recommend ... ). And if you would like a resource that your team can reference whenever this arises again (because it will), that's a video course that you purchase once and own." So how can I best support your team? That's how you book keynotes and sell products - by being the guide, the mentor, the ELDER they need. The vehicle is the product or service you sell but what you sell is the SOLUTION. Because you are who they need. Enjoy your day! Love ya! Sandi

Things to do. Places to go. People to see but ... Have to admit my mind and body are so ready for the holiday break, the time of year where I take THREE FULL WEEKS OFF to recharge, to reset, to dream and to give thanks. No emails are answered. No videos are shot. Not even one toe steps foot into my office during that time. Takes about 7 days before my body relaxes. Another 7 is pure recharge. And the final 7 is the excitement of soon being able to return to the work I love. Because even living your dream daily can be exhausting. So whether you take a break or not, my speaker friend, I pray you know what YOU need and I pray that is exactly what you do. Love you! Sandi
