Will Strangers Cry When You Die?

This past weekend I attended a meeting where the legendary Lou Heckler spoke about story telling and influence.  He opened with a question and asked the audience if we knew the influence that we have?  On Saturday I thought I did, and today I know I don't.

Today I learned that Bahamian Pastor Myles Munroe died in a plane crash and I am devastated.  I never met Myles, but I always knew someday I would.  Most people haven't heard of him, he wasn't as charismatic as Will Smith or as well known as Tony Robbins or as enlightened as Oprah Winfrey but he changed my life and I never even got to meet him.  I've never spoken publicly about him and I've never exchanged emails, letters, phone calls or text messages with him, yet today, I'm devastated by his passing.

Almost 3 years ago, I was in a dark place and Myles shined his bright light into my world.  Purely by serendipity I came across a talk Myles had given in the Bahamas that would later be found on YouTube called the 10 Attitudes of Leadership.  I believe it's still available on YouTube today.   Track 4 which was less than 10 minutes long  and contained the words that would change my life and become my mantra.

Before I share those words with you, let me tell you how I had gotten there.

It was the beginning of the summer of  2012, the preceding years had not been kind as I had lost both of my parents in rapid succession, my child was finishing up cancer treatment, our house had burned down and both my husband's and my business had closed due to the Global Financial Crisis.  My book-keeper and assistant for 7 years had been found stealing, our new business was in the difficult long-houred start-up phase,  and I was lost.

I didn't know where to turn or who to turn to.   I had discovered  YouTube and it's free motivational videos that I used to fill me with energy so I could get out of bed in the morning. 

 I had never heard of Tony Robbins except in passing, Wayne Dyer was someone I had no connection to and this Bahamian pastor  that  I had never heard of  was speaking to me through my iPhone about eagles and lions and leadership. 

 He connected with me and languaged things so beautifully I felt less alone in my world.    As I leaned over my bathroom counter putting on my makeup Myles said "You Cannot Live Beyond The Limits of Your Belief System" and My. World. Stopped. Turning.

I dropped my mascara, and blindly grabbed my phone, I replayed the clip, and I played it again and I played it again, and I played it again and again,  until I knew and understood the truth.

Looking around that lonely bathroom I realized that the life I was living was one that I had created. One that I dreamt about, one that I had manifested. 

If I wanted a different life, I had to have a different belief system.

Later that night, I asked my 17 year old son what he wanted his life to look like and when I said "You Cannot Live Beyond The Limits of Your Belief System  he said "OK mom, I'll live beyond my limits."

"No baby, raise your limits."   

And THAT is what I have been doing every single day since.  Raising limits, testing boundaries, creating opportunities to live the life I have imagined.  To grow my content so it serves the world, to help people keep people and to be the type of person that is worthy of the life that I deserve.  

Myles gave that talk to some group, somewhere, over lunch and years later in a bathroom across the world a lonely lost woman held on to that phrase like the life preserver it was.  

What's your impact? 

 I hope that when I'm gone, someone somewhere will grieve for me as I grieve for him today not because I want them to hurt but because I was there when they needed me. 

We have an obligation to share our gift with the world, whatever that gift is, you aren't here for you, you're here for the trail you leave behind.

If you're not living the life that you want, if everyday is not a gift that you are GREATFULL for then perhaps it's time for you to review your belief system and see where your limits are.  YOU are your greatest limitation and your greatest resource. How you show up is up to you.

Do you know the influence you have?

5 Lessons learned from #TheProfit that every CEO and Business Owner Should Know

Marcus Lemonis is the star of CNBC's hit show The Profit, a no-nonsense business reality show that offers the struggling, usually over-extended and under-capitalized American small business a fresh start.  As with anything, there's a price.

If The Profit agrees to invest in your company the cost and benefit to you is far greater than the check he whips out of his pocket to write.  You give up some equity in your company, you give up control, and you give up your privacy.  He's going to examine your business practices, your ego, your attitude and your dirty laundry.   However,  if you're willing to undergo such a thorough examination the rewards are priceless.  Should he take a vested interest in your company, you have an investor, a mentor, a powerful network and the impact of the national stage at your disposal.  

As a small business owner myself and a corporate retention expert,  I have a unique opportunity of being in the position of building my startup, falling along the way, getting back up and finding my footing.   I also get the added benefit of spending time in the C-Suite of big companies and the challenges of both are more similiar than they are different.  

5 'Profit' Lessons that every CEO and Business Owner Should Know:

Math is Math: Know your numbers, know your target numbers, your actual numbers, your expense numbers and your margin numbers.  When you can't make sense of the numbers, then the numbers don't make sense.  Find out why, where there is chaos, there is theft.  Period.

Sales 101: Whether you are selling a widget, a hair product, a service,  or a ferrari there's some basic sales techniques that work no matter what.  Sales is a process that has a road map with a clear destination.  If you know your product, your scripts and your outcome, you can sell.  If you "wing it" you may as well "forget it".

Outsourcing Sales is Outsourcing Success:  Too many CEO's leave the money making to incompetant, untrained, well-intentioned friends and family.  If you think you can't afford to hire a qualified salesperson, then I suggest you put on your selling suit and get to busy.     

Tap Into Your Resources: Every industry has an association, a standard, a streamlined-process that if you're willing to learn and engage can shorten your learning curve and strengthen your position and your network. Don't be so proud, so scared, or so dogmatic that you miss huge opportunities.  You don't have to reinvent the wheel.  

If you don't A-S-K you dont G-E-T: There's no crying in business or baseball.  Therefore, your conflict with your landlord, vendors, partners or ex-partners shouldn't prevent you from forging a strategic alliance if that alliance moves your company closer to the goal.

Business, like baseball, or marriage, or dancing are all basically the same.  There will be steps and times when you feel like the odds are stacked against you, you will strike out, you will step on toes. You will also hit a home-run, kiss the bride and take your company public. 

The lessons are there, waiting for you.  Success leaves a trail.
