Faking Orgasms

I used to fake orgasms. All the time.

The bedroom is not the only place we do it. We do it in our business too. Sometimes it's awkward to look into someone's eyes and tell them that you're not fully satisfied. Often it's easier to be inauthentic and pretend that you are.

Are you clear about what you like when it comes to business relationships?
Do you have the courage to ask for what want?
Do you tell people how they can best serve you?
Do you derive immense pleasure in your work environment?
Or...are you just faking it?

Here's my invitation: Tell people how they can tap into your badass strengths and passions. Tell people how they can support you in being more efficient. Tell people how they can make you feel like a valued part of the team. Tell people how you'd like to be treated when things get stressful at work.

Once you take a deep breath and express your desires, you can actually create incredible chemistry with the people you work with. Imagine an environment where the interactions with your partners, vendors, boss and/or employees brought you tremendous pleasure and put an orgasmic smile on your face.

Don't you prefer a real orgasm over a fake one, anyways? ;)

"I'll do it later"

*NOTE: Last chance to apply for Badass Mastermind*

Listen...you may be interested in the Badass Mastermind, or you may not be interested. That's not the point. This isn't about the mastermind. It's about the URGENCY with which you live your life.

How often do these phrases come out of your mouth?

"I'll do it later."
"I'll do it when I have the money."
"I'll do it when I'm ready."

I know many people who claim they want big things. But they are standing in the same exact place they were three years ago. Why? Because they say things all the time like, "I'll do it later." "I'll do it when I have the money." "I'll do it when I'm ready."

Are you one of those people?

It's not wrong or bad to stand in the same place for three years. However, some of us have too much inside us to stand still. We dream. We aspire. We crave movement. We thirst for accomplishment.

Sometimes I wish I could sit still and meditate and be happy exactly where I'm at. But I can't. It's not in my DNA. When I'm not placing one foot after another on my way to bigger things, I'm miserable. I can't look at myself in the mirror. I've learned to push through my own fear and hesitation because I know that I'm only truly at peace when I'm moving forward.

Call it entrepreneurial spirit. Call it the American dream. Call it badass. Whatever it is, I'm proud of it and I'm proud of myself when I quiet those little voices in my head that say, "I'm not ready. I'll do it later."

The application process for the Badass Mastermind closes tonight. I invite you to live your life with URGENCY, and apply now: http://badassbusinesswomen.org/test/mastermind/

The Biggest Mistake I've Made

For those of you who've already applied for the Dec 17-18 Badass Mastermind, you know that one of the questions on the application is: "If someone gave you $100,000 on condition that it be used only to grow your business, how would you invest that money?"

Why do I ask that?

The biggest mistake I've made in my 7 years of being self-employed is wasting money on expenses that don't directly contribute to bringing in more business at higher margins. I can't count the number of times I've charged something to my credit card without a clear plan for how it would increase revenue.

The women who have already applied for my mastermind are going to invest $1,000 and 2 days of their life with me. But do they have a plan for how they can directly turn that around into income? How will they leverage the experience? Will they publicize their acceptance into the program? Can they turn a $1,000 investment into at least $10,000 worth of opportunities?

Because that's what badass entrepreneurs would do.

The application process ends tomorrow night at midnight.

Spending vs. Investing

Most of us are now in full scale holiday mode, busy buying gifts and getting more distracted by the moment by family, friends and travel plans. Black Friday. Cyber Monday. For the next month money will fly out the door on travel, food, booze, movies, entertainment, toys, clothes, etc.

So are you simply spending money this season?
Or are you investing in yourself?

All of the Badass Business Women I know have invested a great deal of money into themselves. They buy memberships, attend conferences, take courses, read books and hire professionals to help them grow. They don't just throw money out the window. They diligently access their challenges and weaknesses, then find ways to train and develop themselves. Badass Business Women identify the gap, then they find a way to bridge it.

The 2-day Badass Mastermind on December 17-18 at my house in Miami is designed to catapult you towards the next level in your business. Are you ready to invest in yourself? Or will you be lazy when it comes to bridging the gap?
