How well do you know the product that you are selling? How much is too much, and how little is too little? Though in the first segment of this series we focused on selling from a benefit point of view and not a descriptive point of view, knowing your product’s overall description (but not necessarily every fine detail) is imperative.

The more knowledge you have of a product, the more confident you will be when selling it and the more help you can give. Customers will be much more willing to purchase a product when they feel a sense of trust in the information you give them.

That’s because we are all, consciously or unconsciously, in the business of selling something in one way or another, whether it is selling yourself, a product, or an idea.The biggest tip is to always sell from a benefits point of view instead of a descriptive point of view. Descriptive selling means you describe the product in detail, while benefit selling involves clearly articulating the benefits a client will get from using the product. Effective selling always focuses on the buyer’s eye instead of the seller’s eye. In this episode, I share two power tips for how you can make the best sales during this season by getting more connected to your consumers at a personal level. Snapshot of the

Transitioning from a corporate career to entrepreneurship can be a scary and challenging experience. However, getting clear about what you want, planning, and deciding where you want to go and how you want to get there will help make the transition easier. It will also increase your confidence, boost your energy, and keep you motivated to achieve.Clarity is a vital component of success for any entrepreneur. Recognizing what you want and what you are good at, getting it out of your head, and taking action will bring you freedom. Stop procrastinating! Believe in yourself, make that leap, and put your idea out into the world. No one starts at the top, so don’t discount yourself. You’re enough. You just need to step out of your comfort zone. It won’t be easy, but you will feel much more relieved and energized as soon as you hit that start button!Success does not come from analyzing it, overthinking about it, or sitting around and waiting for the perfect moment. Succ

It’s our thanksgiving week here in the United States, and that gives us the opportunity to stop and show appreciation for everything and everyone in our lives. You can be grateful for anything you have, including your business, family, friends, and everything you possess. So, who are you thankful for at this time of the year, and are you ready to let them know? When we show more appreciation, we create a more positive environment. Making others feel valued and appreciated in our life and business will make them feel more valued and encourage them to “show up” more for us. Paying attention to the little things people do daily for you and your business and saying “Thank you” can go a long way. Showing gratitude doesn’t have to be something huge. It can be just as small as saying “Thank you,” as long as it’s sincere. Gratitude is also literally life-changing. Being thankful for what we have every day will not only transform our businesses, but it will a

Finding your happy place is the best decision you can make in your life. Sometimes it will involve pursuing entrepreneurship. It can be a bumpy journey with many ups and downs, and it’s easy to get bogged down by challenges. We need to remember that those challenging times happen for a reason. They are teaching us life lessons and preparing us for life's challenges. It’s during these times when we are faced with our deepest, darkest fears that we have to find the courage to believe in ourselves and our dreams.The most successful people have learned how to embrace challenges and navigate their way through them. They find a lucrative, scalable passion and learn through the mistakes they make. Once they stabilize, they leave their 9-5 job and continue to grow their new business. In other words, they do not quit what they are currently doing to start something new. They quit once their side hustle is stable enough on its own. One of the ways to navigate your journey

Opportunities don’t come from playing it safe or waiting until you become perfect and everything is right. Sometimes you have to trust it, do your absolute best, believe in yourself, bring the best work forward, and see what happens.Sometimes, the things that we think are perfect don’t always turn out to be great. Sometimes, it’s the gig, job, or song that you see as not ideal or unappealing that is going to push you to do the next level or the best work of your life.Great opportunities don’t usually come dressed as you expect them to be, and no matter how appealing or unappealing an opportunity looks, you will never know where it can lead you until you say yes to it. Saying yes to an opportunity and giving it your best is where the magic happens. Judging opportunities and thinking of them as less than ideal is an excuse for not giving your best effort.Stop worrying about making everything perfect, and start giving your best to every opportunity. Any

More and more people are talking about imposter syndrome, but it’s not new. Imposter syndrome is simply self-doubt and the fear that you are not measuring up. It’s what we think about ourselves and the stories we tell ourselves that convinces us that we are not good enough, worthy enough, or talented enough.The stories we tell ourselves are the ones we will believe, and often, we judge ourselves more than anyone else will ever do. Every day we wake up, we tell ourselves a story that is either serving us or holding us back from becoming who we’re meant to be. However, the good news is you can rewrite your story to change your life.If it’s your story that is holding you back, you need to rewrite your story by creating new habits and patterns that will support a story that will propel you forward. Rewriting your story is about changing your talk and implementing it by walking your talk.In this episode, I share my experience preparing for the 500th miles

Most people are overwhelmed. They’ve lost their motivation for doing anything. Especially since COVID, many people are still in limbo-land with their businesses, and they haven't really been inspired to focus and take action again.There are people who are redefining themselves, making new decisions, and taking new career paths, but lots of people are also just stuck right now.

Sometimes, life can put you in a position where your entire world has been turned upside down. You may feel hopeless and like there is no way to go on, and you may feel unworthy of ever being happy again. After a lifetime of following the rules, working hard, and living within your means, an illness or disability can take away everything you have pursued and you’re forced to start over.We must learn how to overcome these adversities in order to grow into the best version of ourselves and rise above the storms of life!

Networking is the key to success in every career or business, but what happens if you are not an incredible keynote speaker who meets a ton of people at events? It can become hard to make friends and even harder to build your network.As we get older, friendships become harder to form, and we lose more friends than we create. But we need them more than ever when we’re starting a business, growing our careers, or launching a practice. Our friends are our supporters. They are our cheerleaders and help us meet new people and build and expand our networks.Most new job opportunities and new relationships don’t come from our best friends. They come from our network of acquaintances, weak ties, or loose connections. Holding a party will help you build your network of acquaintances and connections that can help you build your career and grow your business.    In this episode, Nick Gray, the author of 2-Hour Cocktail Party, talks about all things parties, netw

Everyone has a talent, but it’s not always easy discovering it, honing in on it, and crafting it into something that can be created and shared with others. Once we figure out what that talent is, we may want to make it happen, we may try to make it happen, but we often time end up failing to make it happen. Victor will share how you can find your sweet spot as an artist with the right mindset and self-discovery.To develop the right mindset, one must first discover who they are and what is important to them.

So often, we feel intimidated and fearful when starting something new. If other people aren’t doing it, it can feel impossible to achieve. So many of us are afraid to try something new, it’s easy to let that stop us from trying. But moving past your fears and doing it anyway is the key to success. The path will be difficult and imperfect, but that is part of the learning process and the rewards are so worth it.Making your passion possible is all about taking action, making mistakes, refining your technique, and figuring out how to improve your strategy the next time you do it. Start by doing your due diligence and research to test what people care about and what they are looking for to ensure that your idea is profitable before taking the leap. Your business is your baby, so you want to ensure you know what you're getting into. In the beginning, you will probably have to wear all the hats, but learning to ask for help as you progress is what will help you move y

So many of us feel conflicted and unhappy with the way we lead at work. Being the leader you were designed to be should not be a struggle.It is an opportunity to let people see that you can love your work and family and use the skills you bring to positively impact the lives of people around you.Leadership exists for others. It is lived on the inside and manifested in the action of our work. This means we need to know ourselves before we can lead with authenticity. We must understand what it takes to lead and be willing to play our part. We owe leadership a lot more than just showing up to give our best in our work. We should rise together by helping others and supporting our colleagues. That being said, we are not defined by our work and success alone. Leadership, whether in fundraising, business, or any other area, is a happy place when you keep your focus on your “why.” Doing this will help you make meaningful progress in whatever you’re doing, an

What can we do to have a much more positive experience in our cars and make traveling easier?We often use our cars for carpool while taking kids to school, for traveling to the office, for taking us on vacation, and many for many other things. However, it can be very frustrating when our cars are disorganized, and we can’t find the things we are looking for.

Making decisions is all about moving toward your future self. However, your past and the present can keep you from evolving into the next version of yourself. Accessing your future self is important when making decisions, and it allows you to connect and move towards the feeling and reality that comes with fulfilling your dream.You will not always want to make a decision or put in consistent effort, but recognizing that we are all humans with a whole range of emotions and going for it anyway is a big win.

There is no failure in making that decision; there is only winning or learning, which brings confidence, commitment, consistency, and accountability in getting the results.In this episode, Andrea Liebross, a certified business and life coach, talks about decision-making and how you can leverage your decisions to level up and scale to your next level of growth.

In business, especially the art industry, we face a lot of rejections, and it is easy to get ahead of ourselves or think that we cannot get where we want to be. However, when you are resilient, focused, and true to yourself, your dreams will come true in a way you might not expect, which can be more special than what you would have created for yourself. Sometimes we don’t see ourselves at different levels of success because of what people say and perceive about us. But taking power out of other people's hands and owning our own identity, regardless of how others see us, will empower us and change how we walk into a room.In this episode, Broadway actor Ashley Blanchet talks about how to step into your power as a woman (and a black woman) and how to own the your power and the things that make you different instead of shying away from them and trying to hide them from people. “People are all over watching, and if you have the integrity to do good

We live in the age of information. Today you can go online, search for how to play banjos in the style of the Northwest or in North Carolina, and learn it. Traditionally, you had to physically find the people playing and spend some time with them to learn, but not anymore. However, with so much information, it’s easy to lose sight of the artists. So make sure you find the people who are actually playing and ensure whatever self-education you’re doing is supplemented with actual relationships. There is so much that can be transmitted through the relationship that cannot be transmitted in any other way. In this episode, Max Wareham, a banjo player, shares his journey in music and the lessons he has learned in his mastery process. Your dream in music, banjo, or guitar mastery is valuable, and it’s worth spending the time to make it happen.“It’s easy to lose sight, but it all comes back to the people and relationships.”Snapshot of

When it comes to time management, I often share tips on managing your work better in order to become more productive. But not many people talk about how to be more organized at home or in other areas of your life. Our work is just one part of our life. If we want to save time and be productive, we must also ensure that our time is well managed in the other areas of our life as well.If you think carefully, you will find that most of the time, you run out of time because your time was wasted on something mundane.

But very few women see this as an opportunity to change their situation.

Because without leads, you won’t have the opportunity to convert your prospects into customers.In this episode, Matt Holmes shares some quick tips on lead generation through online marketing. He also talks about the importance of building personal connections with your customers for your business growth."The fastest way to get information is through people.”
