Treadmill Tracks for Christian Business Owners.

This is part 4 of 4 in the series Be Seen and Heard.  Today's focus is on the use of Reputation Marketing, in other words, what people are saying about you and your business, online reviews, the information people see easily OR SHOULD to decide if they will do business with you. You spend money for ads, for websites, for marketing materials; you spend money to set up your image to the world - but...

This is part 3 of 4 in the series Be Seen and Heard.  Today's focus is on the use of Presenting LIVE at Events (webinars, live events - the ones you are invited to, participate in, and the ones you create). You spend money for ads, for websites, for marketing materials; you spend money to set up your image to the world - but what you really are paying for, is the opportunity to be seen and heard. ...

This is part 2 in the series Be Seen and heard.  Today's focus is on the use of Social Media. You spend money for ads, for websites, for marketing materials; you spend money to set up your image to the world - but what you really are paying for, is the opportunity to be seen and heard.  Before you spend another dollar to get the word out there, let's deconstruct from the results backwards because...

RESULTS MATTER!  The end DOES justify the means.  If your goal is to get your message out there, about YOUR products, services, opportunities, then - no matter how fantastic, how awesome, how better than the rest; if no one knows about it, no money flows! In this show, I want to make a case for the use of the PRESS. As a former columnist for a national newspaper in Jamaica (my country of origin),...

Things have not gone the way you hoped.  You have worked hard, but still see zero or little results.  You are tired and frustrated.  You are ready to throw in the towel.  Should you?  How do you hold on and hang in there, when the return on your investment seems limited or non-existent?  Join me ********** When it comes to personal finances, many in hardship believe it is impossible to save, let a...

STATUS UPDATE:  Since making this show 12 days ago, I FINALLY kicked my less jiggly butt off the plateau.  Having been flat lining for the past 2 months, with the DECISION to kick it to the next level, I lost 4.4 pounds for a total of 23.6 since January 2014. ***************** 2 Chronicles 15:7 "But you, be strong, and don’t slack off; for your work will be rewarded.” (CJB) An effort that leads to...

Many working adults cannot find $100 in an emergency, let alone $1000.  So many life crises could be averted or reduced, so many great opportunities could be enjoyed IF ONLY you could find cash in a pinch.  If you are part of the majority that do not have an emergency cash stash of at least $1000, listen up as I share how YOU can be a hero to your family, and step up, step out, and step forward in...

Do you feel like you need to BEG your partner, your parents or your providers for things you want? Some people may be financially dependent, but the relationship should not create a posture of begging on your part.  A respectful relationship built on love can be negotiated to where you feel heard and free to ask for your wants without a sense of fear, or the need to beg. This show is delivered in...

Time is money - but RESULTS is more money.    The hourly worker versus the contract paid worker.  Both may do same job but one works on the clock, and the other, very often by the project.  Since there are only 24 hours in the day - who could potentially earn more? There is a reason why the all star players make more money.  The all stars deliver RESULTS!  In this show, I outline WHY, and hopefull...

SELF SABOTAGE!  The Paradox of success is, we want it, but we don't want what you need to do to get it.  To reduce the guilt for not achieving what we want, we sabotage our efforts creating instead a escape that leaves us looking more like a victim, than a cop out.  However, today, I am going to call out all of you hiding your greatness and covering your path to success.   Is it possible you are s...

DIVORCE.  Half the income, twice the bills.  Your credit is shot and the holes are bleeding money.  Can you Financially RECOVER? Divorce is expensive - and I don't just mean the cost to the lawyers.  After the assets are split, lawyers paid, and you have gone your separate ways, the new adventure begins, and it usually starts on a seriously negative note. Is it possible to recover? What if you wer...

Why is it that only a few rise to the top of the same field that many play in? Why is it that, the outcome of success and excellence is held by a tiny percentage?    These are the rising stars, and I have found you another that I believe will become a household name some day.  Let's explore the X-factor they bring to the table.  I believe Dr. Eric Maisel is a rising star because: There are Therapi...

The complaints roll off the tongue like rain from the sky drenching everything and everyone in its path.  The dark cloud ever present.  The anger and frustration contagious.  The negative ninnys are all around us.  Very often, the negative ninny is YOU! A woman called me claiming she wanted to fix her finances.  What followed was a Tsunami vomit of all her problems.  I could not get a word in edge...

Why is it that only a few rise to the top of the same field that many play in? Why is it that, if thousands attempt the same thing, with the same tools, that the outcome of success and excellence is held by a tiny percentage?    These are the rising stars, and I have found you another that I believe will become a household name some day.  Let's explore the X-factor they bring to the table   I beli...

Does it take money to make you happy?  Can you be happy without it?  And if you do need money to be happy, how much money would that be? Yesterday my  82 year old father in law came to the end of his life.  My 21 year old Stanford graduate is about to start his.  Money has been a huge part of these life phases and in each case, happiness levels seem to be challenged as a result. On the day followi...

Seeing the un-seen is Vision. Believing the un-seen, is faith.   Getting others to share the vision is effective leadership.  Success is unquestioned when the un-seen becomes seen, and the vision becomes reality.  However, this process of something going from idea to reality, is totally built on faith, on believing in the vision.  Faith is believing in the unseen; or "the evidence of things not se...

Bling, bling. We are talking Gold and Silver.  That shiny, valuable thing that humans have seen as a symbol of wealth from the beginning of time - now makes it way in the hands of ordinary people with an extraordinary desire for lifestyle upgrades and personal prosperity.  Gold and silver cannot be manufactured in a lab, nor created from a printing press.  Gold and silver have been around from the...

This show is not scripted.   A single mom is restructuring her financial life and agrees to go on the air with Trudy Beerman, Debt Free Wealth Coach - to hear what her situation is, and explore the debt free wealth options available. The guest has been advised to offer her information without disclosing any identify defining specifics.  Her story is her story, but there is a strong possibility, th...

Those who have ventured into entrepreneurship sometimes fail before they pass the starting line because of how they view sales and selling.  Indeed, the image that comes to mind is of the slimy car-salesman who hollers and wears cheap suits.  Although the field has evolved, the perception has not changed too much. Those who need goods and services, don't want to be sold.  Those who have goods and...

Real Estate investing is a strategy many use to build a nest egg.  While many properties are still upside down, and some are being bought at pennies on the dollar, finding and keeping tenants is the next issue in the line of ensuring the investment does not bleed away profit margins. Brad Meyer of Property Management Made Easy is my guest expert to share on how to attract and keep a good tenant in...

CASHercise (TM) is a word I coined.  As it suggests, it is exercise for to make your money go further; do more. I have come to realize that it is less about how much you make, and more about how much you have available for lifestyle upgrades and wonderful experiences that matters most. People who earn millions, but owe millions more are no better off, and have a higer degree of stress than those w...

Life, health, long-term care, property, business, liability: These are just some of the types of insurance out there. No question, it is an expensive monthly commitment that many feel angry to pay, and some just decide not to, and some worry that they cannot afford to. The insurance issue is hotly debated and even more so with the ambiguity surrounding ObamaCare.  In many cases, insurance is not a...
