How To Network Boldly When You Are an Introvert

Recently I was chatting with one of my clients who I have been working with over the last two years. I was remembering what it was like when she first came into our Corporate Rescue Plan program. She was a financial planner with a successful business already BUT she did not have freedom and she had a lot of stress.&nbsp;She also didn’t have any of these three things that I am going to share with you today which I believe are even more important than social media. It’s not about how many followers you have on Instagram. Here’s what you REALLY need to be focused on if you want to build your business.

You have to work really hard to make an&nbsp;income from your blog.  If you are ready to work hard, keep on reading. Here are four ways you can make an income from your blog.

100 Best Pieces of Career Advice in Under 3 Minutes

Grateful for your paycheck but know you don’t want to work there much longer? Over my years of working with students, I have seen many women close to getting their careers unstuck BUT they have one thing holding them back, their mindset.&nbsp; Today, I want to share with you some positive affirmations you should repeat to yourself daily to help you make your career transition or start a business.&nbsp; You must start thinking positively if you want to get out of a negative work situation. Changing my mindset was the biggest secret behind my career and business success. I have always been a huge fan of affirmations. I actually do these every morning for 5 minutes and have notecards that I have by my bed to read. I am way more confident and calm throughout the day when I do this along with meditating. These affirmations are written to help you build confidence that you will find the right career&nbsp;for you. I recommend doing these every morning and creating a morning routine that gets your mind in the spot to take on the day. My morning routine (usually) involves a little exercise, reading, meditation, visualization and these affirmations. Instructions: Sit relaxed in your chair. Take a deep breath. Believe these affirmations as you say them to yourself.

Affirmations to Repeat Daily for Job Searchers and Entrepreneurs

OK, I admit it.&nbsp;I will tell you a secret just between you and I…..I stayed in a job I hated for many, many years because I had a good salary and health benefits and a mortgage and other bills to pay. &nbsp;I dreaded walking into the doors of the office to a job that didn’t fit who I really was. I share a lot on this blog about how to find a job you love and I hope that you have found it helpful. But for most of you, there is an amount of time where you have to stay in a job you might hate until you can find that dream job. &nbsp;I don’t want to ignore you and pretend like it’s fun. It’s definitely not! So while you plan your exit route, here are some tips to stay motivated if you hate your job.

How to Stay Motivated When You Hate Your Job

I often get the question of how I manage all my programs. Here’s the important key: I didn’t start here and you can’t compare where I am now to where you are starting today. I have been working on growing my business and learning about growing a membership site for SEVEN years now and it has not always been pretty. There’s been a lot of failures and giving up on things that just didn’t work out. Running a membership site is not easy. It’s not for everyone. But it is for me. I tried and tried to build my membership sites until things finally came into place in 2016 thanks to my incredible membership site mentor, Stu Mclaren. Stu is the founder of Wishlist Member which is a software I have been using in my business and for all of my online courses since I started seven years ago. He’s also the creator of the very BEST training program out there on starting and growing a profitable membership site called TRIBE. I’ll be sharing more soon about he helped me grow my membership sites dramatically and changed my life in 2016, but today it’s all about the real juicy stuff. The stuff that didn’t work. Where I went wrong. What I failed over the last seven years and what I wish I would&nbsp;have done differently. Because to be honest, failures are the only way you grow, right? I’ve learned from every single failure even though some were pretty hard to take.
