One thing I have learned in recent years is that, for things to change - I have to change.
Brilliant, huh? Who hasn’t heard that over and over again? Right?
But, when doing it “MY way” hasn’t given the results I want, it is time to refine.
And, in the spirit of the New Year, what better time to do a couple things differently so that, at the end of the year, I can measure the effect?
I don’t know about you, but everything I read lately tells me that entrepreneurs must have a video presence to grow in today’s world. I’d rather have 50 blind dates to a wrestling match with the same lame guy - than see myself on video (do all women feel this way?)
…but I want my business to grow even more.

So, today I will be shooting my first ever, professional video! I set the appointment 3 weeks ago so that I could not back out.
Put yourself in my place. What would you be most concerned about? Hair, make-up, clothes, how many different outfits to take, what colors show up best (no green blouse unless I want my body to disappear!) nails done, sit or stand?
No, My worry is the script. How do I convey what I really mean in a 60 second intro?
I am so passionate in my belief that every woman SHOULD and CAN have the means to take care of herself before “life inevitably happens”. Every woman must put herself in the place of security without reliance on any man, corporate structure. or government entity to take care of her herself and her children’s needs. Not just every woman- but every person in America. Every adult, whether 21-75 can completely change their life and their future in just a few short years if they wish to and are open. In any economy…. I see it happening, everyday!

OK, see my concern? I feel so passionately about this that I become a preacher!! Not that that is a bad thing- it’s just not my gig and you don’t want to watch that!
I’ll figure it out, and have a team of experts to direct me through it. I've fallen off my horses quite a few times in the past, so this won’t kill me. As I tell my team- if it doesn’t scare you a bit, then you aren’t stretching far enough. And, since Leaders don’t ask anything of others that they are not willing and able to do themselves… Here I go!
At the very least we’ll have something to laugh about and “remember when ” because this is just the first – but won’t be the last.

What will you do this year to end 2014 better than 2013?
Want to slow it down a bit?
Do something that scares you…time will stand still, and you will remember it!

P.S. My very patient Videographer just sent me the out-takes. This was fun!
Thank you, Michael Catalano. You Rock!
