It's in your Reach...

With the New Year here, are you ready to reach for the sky and grab your rainbow?

Don't let fear of failure, allow you to fail at trying. In building your business/career, it's often suggested to save your ammunition for a sure shot, however in this economy there are no sure shots. Aim high and shoot often, you are bound to hit something, if you keep trying.



You say your funds are low, it' s not in your budget; re-evaluate the worth of your mark, consider free and low cost events to spread the word, make sure your tools are on point and get out there and meet people. In other words rid your vocabulary of excuses why you can't do business - and just do it.

For those who doubt your ability, question their purpose. You may need to address legitimate concerns or take the high road without their support. Ignore personal attacks, focus on your business goals and keep moving forward!

Remember you are not alone, stay vigilant and work every angle possible. Make your plan, chart your course, remain focus, follow through, carry it out and follow up. Most important accept that you are your brand and your brand is you.

In closing, it's up to you, you must believe that success is in your reach.

Respectfully submitted,

Carol Burns
