dream BIG: week eight

I made a last minute call Monday night to attend the Working Woman's event at Cornerstone Christian Fellowship in Chandler. Boy was the hour and 15 minute drive worth it! What a treat! I LOVE a well run event. And the inspiration and motivation was just what I needed! Being a part of a huge room full of woman who are in the midst of dreaming BIG was so fun!!! Here are my notes. Hope you can glean something from the wisdom shared.

1. When launching your DREAM don't fear going in phases. It is a process!

2. Find a catalyst resource! A website, blog or person that will feature you. This generates buzz!

3. Delegate to experts and don't try to do it all. Involving others generates connections and more buy in. 

4. Collaborate, collaborate, collaborate!!!! Join with people you know to get the word out. 

5. Make every effort to communicate you are a REAL person that is really responding. Respond to people as quick as possible

6. Brand YOU! Do you know who you are and what you are doing? If not others won't either. Do you have a mission statement?

7. Comment and connect with others by commenting on like minded blogs. People will find you by relating to the comments you make.

8. Be original!

9. GIVEAWAYS, GIVEAWAYS, GIVEAWAYS! Who doesn't like free stuff!

10. Make the ASK! Ask people who have already made it BIG to look at your site, your work, your product with the purpose of sharing you with their world. The worst that can happen is that you are told "no". The best that can happen is that it is a "YES" and serves as a catalyst moment!

11. Make sure you are using your passion to serve others. 

12. MAKE yourself unplug and balance your business with the rest of life. 

My fun news for the week is that the distributor is expecting to see the final holder for the Cravings cards this week and then I will get to see it in person. And I am officially on a waiting  list to have the blog/website for Cravings designed.  Exciting stuff!!!
