One of the cool things about social media is that it’s opened doors for us to be able to communicate with people we look up to – those in our field, authors, speakers, business mentors. It’s an incredible opportunity. But is there a way to get their attention? Because after all, if there’s something that we really dig about them, wouldn’t they feel the same way about us? There’s only one thing that has worked for me to be able to score face-to-face time with people I’ve looked up to for years – from Christian authors to business gurus. And it’s not “wowing” them with what I do or with my work. It’s not asking them to promote me or my business. In fact, it’s exactly the opposite. These three tips are so simple, but many people overlook them. And it has had a 100% success rate for me. Here you go! Get involved in their work. Depending on the audience size of your virtual mentor, you may or may not be able to get a response from them on social media. But you dramatically increase your chances once you start doing business with them. If they have an [...]

“Entrepreneurs: The only people who work 80-hour weeks to avoid working 40-hour weeks.” – Lori Greiner But somehow, the life of an entrepreneur seems so glamorous that people want to be one…possibly because of the whole “highlight reel” social media sharing phenomenon (but that’s another blog). And while entrepreneurship is awesome for the right person with the right gift set, it’s truly not for everyone. I can guarantee you one thing: if you try to build a business without the right mindset, you will be miserable. So are you a true entrepreneur or just a wantrepreneur? Evaluate yourself honestly with these five statements. Wantrepreneurs talk. Entrepreneurs do. Having a plan is great. But having a plan without actually doing anything to execute the plan is worthless. Plans require knowledge, but the execution of our plans is what contributes to wisdom. Why? Because real faith leads us to action, and faith is the source of our wisdom. So if everything you’ve planned stays in your head, but never moves to your heart or your hands, you might not be ready for entrepreneurship. Wantrepreneurs seek shortcuts. Entrepreneurs are patient for success. Thomas Edison put it this way: “Opportunity is missed by [...]
You’re standing in the lobby after church, maybe meeting visitors with your husband while simultaneously trying to keep your children from running out the front door. (You know, since they’ve already told you 20 times that they’re “starving,” they might bolt at the smell of food.) And then, it happens. A woman comes up to you, talks to you about your business she saw you share on social media this week, and begins asking you awesome questions from a prospective client/customer that you would love to answer… any other day of the week. Or maybe you’re in direct sales. You know that your company’s products are great, that you are genuine with your promotion, and that you don’t do anything shady recruiting wise… but you feel like once others find out your affiliation, you begin getting MLM-related disapproving looks or even some “pyramid scheme” lectures at church. And yes, even the side comments. “Well, that certainly is a nice car you have out there. Are we paying your husband too much, or did your little business take care of that?” Oh, friend. We can relate. We [Somer and Michelle] both have a minimum of a decade of experience in [...]
