The Sales Swing
Happy 1st Day of Spring Training! Who is excited?!?
Anyone who has followed the blog for any period of time is painfully aware that I'm a baseball fan.
I started playing softball at the age of four and have many fond memories. Similar to my passion for horses, I believe that the sport ties into lessons for my business and in my personal life. The importance of relying on a team, taking big goals and breaking them down step-by-step, how to play good defense as well good offense, how to swing for t…

Why You Should NEVER Discount
I was speaking with an extremely successful business woman about Black Friday and asked if she was running a special for her retail stores. Her response was brilliant.
“I sell quality items for a fair price. In order to provide a discount, I would have to jack my prices up just to slash them. That makes no sense, but that is what most people do. Overprice everything so they can say they are giving you a discount or having a sale.”This made me think about Apple, a company that classically never…
Why Join a Mastermind?
Many people ask me about Masterminds - what is one, how will one benefit me, or why should I join a mastermind.
Here ya go! Why you should join a mastermind and more.
Make $1800 More a Week by Doing This
Many times in my networking and meeting with prospects, I hear the comment,
“I cannot afford to pay a coach or for consulting right now.”The average person spends almost 50% of their time at work in a state of non-productivity. If you own your business, this statistic means that only HALF the hours you spend away from your family, your hobbies you love, and your life are actually productive. Maybe you’re already aware of the dangers of poor productivity because you’re seeing that what you set…
How to Break Your Business Curse
So anyone who knows how much I love sports could guess I would find some way to work the Cub’s World Series win into a business blog. And that is exactly what I am going to do.

But no matter how much you enjoy doing it, the “How” and the “Why” of your actions and journey can dictate whether or not you continue to find motivation and inspiration to continue doing the best job you can.
The clarity in knowing where your motivation comes from can be key when starting out in a company or starting your own company. Many professionals find themselves lost in the detail…

#1 Goal Review
Now is a great time to reflect on those 2016 goals that you set out to do and see which ones are still relevant? Completed? Unfinished? Started? Be mindful that when you created these goals you did not have a crystal ball and so where you are today in your business may render some of your goals ir…Why Apples Make The Best Referrals
I am often asked when networking or speaking to people about A Better Place Consulting,
Why is that? Because not everyone in the world makes for the best client, for one reason or another. If I am selling bras then…
“Who is a good referral for you?” or “Who’s your best referral?”I love when someone tells me “anyone”. I love their confidence and excitement to work with anyone but after years in sales and corporate jobs I can honestly say that it is not best idea to focus on working with “anyone”.
Why is that? Because not everyone in the world makes for the best client, for one reason or another. If I am selling bras then…
