You might be new to your business. You might think that you need to lose weight, but is that really going to change anything?
It might change the way you look on camera, or in a photograph, but is that going to really change you on the inside? No, not really.
I think one of the main challenges of being visible is owning your own value - knowing that you are enough right now, because you are enough.
Read MoreWhat are you planting in your business and can visibility be a part of that?
And once you've planted something, how do you nurture it?
I know I have friends out there who plant their garden on Tuesday and on Wednesday they run out to see if the plant has come up and bloomed yet. They don't literally pull the plants out by the roots, but they're like, “Are you done yet?”
That’s not the best way to nurture your business, yourself, and your visibility.
Read MoreI'm here to talk to you about Mindset for Visibility and our topic today is, it's not about you.
It looks like it's about you, but it's not about you.
What am I talking about? I'm talking about your business, your business isn't about you. Your business is what comes through you, to benefit other people. It comes through your talents, your gifts, your experience, and your knowing what you have experienced and grown through during your life. What you want to share with others so they don't have to suffer, or struggle, or go through the same challenges you did.

Read MoreToday we’re going to talk about Appreciation.
I work with women entrepreneurs and innovative teams to help them get past stopping themselves, so that they can express themselves, enjoy success in their business, bring in more money, and help their clients succeed in their life and business.
Read MoreResearchers tell us that human beings think about 60,000 thoughts a day, and about 80% of them are “negative”. That means almost 40,000 negative thoughts per day are dripping through your system — your mind, your body, your emotions, and your spiritual self. Most of those thoughts are judging thoughts.
Read MoreJudgment is very stealthy. It actually seems to be in the air we breathe and the water we drink.
It’s everywhere – judging ourselves, judging others, judging our accomplishments, judging our body. It really does go on and on forever.

Read MoreHi, it’s Adele Michal back today with Step 3 of how to be clearly compelling in your messaging and marketing for your service-based business. The overall concept for successfully marketing your services is that you want to offer people what they WANT, not what they NEED.
Read MoreToday we’re talking about aligning with prosperity. What does that mean? That means being 100% willing to be prosperous. Even though in your mind, you may think, “Oh, of course I want to be prosperous,” in your feelings, in your memories, in your body – you may not feel you deserve prosperity. You may think that it’s not right, that you haven’t done enough, or that somebody else deserves it more than you do.
Read MoreThese questions probably often play in the back of your mind: “Can I buy a new pair of shoes?” “Can I afford a bigger home?” “Can I take a day off and not have my business or my family suffer?” “When do I get to take a REAL vacation?” Are you someone who wears shoes and clothes past their prime or lives in a place “that will do” or never takes a break to refresh and renew yourself?
Read MoreMoney is a subject that most of us pay a tremendous amount of attention to. Whether we are always aware of it or not, often these questions are playing in our mind: Do I have enough money? Why aren’t I earning more? Why is it so hard to hold on to money? Am I spending enough or too much on myself? Will I have enough money for the future? Why is money so hard to talk about? Why do my partner and I always fight about money?
Read MoreLast week I wrote about my realization of the many years spent trying to be “not me”. Trying to fit in, to do it “right”, to be approved of and included. A friend responded so generously with, “I love you being you.” Isn’t that a great message to receive? For sure, we women are encouraged, directed, and even programmed to be “not ourselves”. Whole industries – fashion, makeup, hair, diet, body image, etc. - and career directions are built on women fitting into certain norms and roles.

Read MoreIn the last issue I said the first principle of Authentic Selling is Trust. The second principle is Transparency. Does it surprise you that you can be open and honest and still sell? It’s true! In fact, in our jaded, “I’ve been sold too often” world, it’s what works best, even if it is an approach you don’t experience often. Imagine talking to another person, wanting to help if you can, having a real conversation, and offering your services if they are a fit. All the while being honest, having integrity, and being transparent.
Read MoreWhat do you have to know and do to be able to sell with authenticity and integrity? The first principle of Authentic Selling is TRUST. Trust of yourself. Trust of the other person. Trust of the process. One of the reasons you shy away from learning to sell well is that you don’t trust yourself to be true to your values and to honor the other person. Let’s look at that now.

Read MoreNow here's a secret about sales that you may not know - sales happen because of relationships. The buyer has to answer each of these questions about you with a “yes”. Do I know you? Do I like you? Do I trust you? Without a “yes” to all of those questions, no one is buying from you.
