I Want to Believe in Where You Want to Go

Planning

I don’t believe in plans. I believe in planning.

I believe in understanding the general shape of something. I believe in knowing where you are and where you want to go.

I believe that measurable goals drive accomplishment. I believe the better you can express your vision and mission with great specificity, the easier it is for you to outline the steps needed to realize it.

I believe that once you’ve determined where you want to go, what comes next can not be determined, and likely won’t be in any plans you’ve made. I believe this truth can free you from the fear of starting and create a trust in your ability to fill in the gaps later.

Style

We’ve all got it. Some just need more support in expressing it.

Your Style lives in how you do things, in what attracts you; it lies in every choice you make each day. Your Style is you doing what you do, uniquely.

And when you can express your Style clearly, it holds something amazingly powerful in attracting what you desire.

If Success is the realization of your personal dreams.

Exploring Peer-to-Peer Mentoring

This is the sixth installment of Christine and my Peer-to-Peer Mentoring series.

On her blog, I answered her question:

“As a consultant I’m always creating fun methods for my clients to reach their target markets. I think I have a knack for anticipating needs and have been able to develop and design tangible solutions to connect my clients’ philosophies, products and services to their desired consumers. I’m considering courting a company in Los Angeles to hire me as a patchworker (coined by Dr. Kristin Cardinale) to fulfill several areas they’re looking to enhance. I’d like to create a proposal that presents the idea: instead of hiring two separate people for two separate positions, that they hire me as a consultant to fill and bridge the gap between the two positions. Currently they’re listing two positions traditionally. I’d like to create a mind-blowing presentation that convinces them that my experience as a business developer, owner, health care specialist in private practice and journalist will offer them far more versatility than hiring two separate people could… I’ve already considered your advice from last month about preparing an interactive CV/resume, but what else can you suggest for this specific task? I’m open to any tools you might have in mind“

Worth

Here are some basic findings on using a Pay-What-It’s-Worth pricing system from the research paper Pay What You Like by J Fernandez and B Nahata:

1.

If a buyer feels that a product or service provides a positive value, they will never ‘free ride’ and not pay anything.

2.

Under certain conditions Pay-What-It’s-Worth can provide a larger profit than uniform pricing. A business that can best benefit from PWIW is:

The Game of Money?

The Game of Money?

by | Feb 7, 2012 | Pay What It's Worth Pricing

GenerosityI like to think about money as an idea in the form of ‘credit’. To get in the money game, I need to build up my ‘credit’.

I build ‘credit’ with others, but more importantly, I build ‘credit’ with myself. I receive ‘credit’ for how I hold myself up mentally.

When I hold myself as limited in any way, it restricts my availability to ‘credit’. I end up not sharing my gifts, and being undervalued in my relationships.

When I practice confidence in my Self, and not put limits on my wealth, I free the ‘credit’ to flow.
