Protect Your Business By Increasing Security on Social Networks and Your Website


A well-known Denver speaker and coach (and very good person to her core!) called the other day out of sheer desperation and unknowing of what to do. Her “web guy” turned on her. A promise of building her website in 3 days for $200, turned into 3 weeks with little communication – meanwhile, enjoying his new $200 profit.

She attempted to get her money back via PayPal and not only did that not happen, but he found out and threatened to bring her down. He seemed to beam with pride in the past, she told me, when talking about how much he knew about coding and what potential he had to make or break someone.

She just wanted her website up and running again (this was just shortly after her hosting company went out of business with no notification too – what luck).

My heart broke as I listened to every word. “How is it possible that there are people in the world like this?!” I wondered silently.

Help “Maximus” Be the Next CBS 2010 Survivor Contestant!!


I am writing to all of you in hopes that you will give me your support on something that means a great deal to a close friend…and therefore, is important to me as well.

Mo Willis is a top-notch guy married to my boyfriend’s sister and has had his heart set on becoming a SURVIVOR Show Contestant for years. He has just compiled an audition tape-and here’s where you come in!

In order to even be considered for the show, the criteria is…your audition video MUST be in the top ten viewed videos! So, I’m assisting him by asking all of my friends to view the short video (less than a minute)!

Please take a moment and view the video…perhaps pass it along to YOUR friends too. Thanks for your support!

Your Inspiration Today: Rocky Balboa’s Speech to Son

“It ‘aint about how hard you’re hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward – how much you can take, and keep moving forward!”

When I heard this, it was as if stars aligned and it all suddenly made so much sense. I’ve heard similar phrases and words, but this particular set sunk in deep down. Anthony Robbins taught me that at the most random time, you can hear something that will Awaken the Giant Within.

For those of you who don’t know, I wrote a book about my life which is not released yet. I wrote about how I went from this negative, depressed teen (for very good reason) to overcoming and most importantly, understanding what happened so I could move on and not let the past affect my future.

Learning How to Work With Challenging People and Situations in the Workplace



“The Grass Blows, The Wind Blows, and People Do What They Do.”


My mom told me that phrase when I was a little girl and it stuck with me all these years. Grass, Wind and People are some of the constants in life. You can’t change people. You can only accept them and learn to work or live with them as they are.

I’ve had so many experiences – so many chances to learn the above lesson. I had to work with an Assistant Manager, who in training with me so she could open her own branch office, for six months – and the whole time she made it clear she didn’t like me. I ignored it and focused on the task at hand. This made her like me even less.
