Do you have WEALTH shame?
My friend and fellow entrepreneur (she also used to be a client), Alexis Martin Neely writes an amazing piece on the wealth shame permeating our society during this current economic crisis.
I agree with her article wholeheartedly. Rather than be peeved by other people’s successes and “wealth”, be inspired and happy for them. When you do so, you open up your life to abundance…
After sharing about my recent trip to Maui, I received the following email from one of my subscribers:
“Alexis, I am on your mailing list. Thanks for all the information I love this kind of thing. However, I have a twinge every time you tell me about your next vacation. There are many people who may or may not get this that just lost their job, were laid off, hours cut back, losing their homes, etc. and your vacation…??!! I think I would just say you are going to be at a mastermind meeting. I am super sensitive to this as I have clients who are really in dire straits and this economy has hurt deep…and I would hate for them to stop reading when they are probably not going to get a vacation and may lose their car or their house.”
A Wealth of Wealth information
These are scary times. Or, at least, perceived scary times. Here are few tips to get in the right mindset to build your business and create a happy life.
1. First thing to do is turn off your TV. Because, despite media reports, people are making money in the recession.
2. Surround yourself with like-minded people. Create or join a mastermind group, which a small collection of business owners who want to increase profits and satisfaction.
3. Find a business coach (that you want to be like). Success leaves clues. So hire someone who has been successful at their business, so you can take their lead.
4. Get educated. Learn from those who have already done it – and I am going to make it really simple for you.

Karaoke for 7-Figure Entrepreneurs
I don’t now about you, but for the last few months I have been rubbing shoulders with 7-figure entrepreneurs.
Why?
To get to the next level in my business. I mean, why do it alone when I can just be mentored by someone who has already done it! I have to admit, over the last year I have been thinking a bit (dare I say it) SMALL, even though I have built a six-figure coaching business. Maybe because it feels more like I have owned a job rather than a business. So March of this year, I decided to step it UP, THINK BIG and surround myself with the SUCCESS I want to replicate. So it all started when I hired Victor – an extreme revenue coach. (I didn’t add his last name because I want him all to myself, he’s mine…mine… all mine. <<insert evil laugh here>>!)
Anyway, I digress, why did I do that?
To be challenged.
Okay now for the karaoke.
This past week, I was at Ken McArthur’s IMPACT event at Walt Disney World. On Saturday night, a group of us went to sushi, and after dinner and a few lychee mojitos, I decided to get on the Karaoke stage and cause some damage. I pretty much slaughtered Bare Naked Ladies’ “Brian Wilson,” but made up for it with my rendition of Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love” (bootie shaking and all, which was all caught on video!)
My karaoke experience + hanging at with the 7-figure crowd has taught me the following (and I’m eager to share):
1) My mentor, Victor taught me: “Don’t throw cash at a problem creativity can solve.” To that point, karaoke is a perfect example – FREE entertainment that is often more FUN and SATISFYING than paid-for entertainment. In your business, use your imagination, talent and creativity to increase cash flow. For example, rather that hire a bookkeeper or assistant, trade for this or hire an intern, respectively.
2) Adam Urbanski, mega mentor who spoke at IMPACT, taught me “How do you eat an elephant?? Answer: One small bite at a time. Setting high goals, like building a seven-figure business, can be daunting task when you don’t break your process into small steps. Karaoke can be daunting also, especially if singing in front of a raucous crowd of drunk convention-goers, until you look at it like this: 1) Fill out karaoke form. 2) Walk over to the stage. 2) Hand form in. 4) When your name is called, get on the stage. 5) Sing 6) Get off stage. So, business is the same – one step at a time.
3) Joyce Jackson, another mentor I met at IMPACT, said one of the biggest problems of my business is that I was leaving money on the table. (Gulp (!) – got to change that). Karaoke speak= If I don’t get off my ASSet and sing, I won’t find out about the opportunities I am missing.
4) Eric (I forgot his last name) who was a cute 20-something Internet marketer (who is just killing it!) said something like: success has a formula, just replicate/follow what someone else has already done. Ummm… that’s what karaoke is all about… replicating success by singing international top 20 hits. You don’t have to write your own song or come up with a riff, all you have to do is just sing with own unique spin…
5) And, finally, I heard this concept from a few speakers this weekend: Just rinse and repeat. This means automate and systematize your business, so it is repetitive in nature, allowing you to delegate. Get that formula down. And plain and simple, the perfect karaoke formula is drink and sing, drink and sing and with practice you get better!
