I spent two wonderful days in beautiful Palm Springs, surrounded by some of the smartest and most inspirational women I know! We celebrated by having a beautiful meal together at the Hyatt Hotel. Alexandria Brown is perched on top. From left to right there’s…  Jayne Brodie, Valerie Hayes, Sandra Martini, Bonnie Hutchinson, Elizabeth Potts Weinstein, moi, Fabienne Frederickson, Sandy Grason, Andrea Blackwood Harriott and Jane Button.  One thing I so appreciate about working with Ali Brown is she is not only smart, but she’s authentic and comes from the heart. I’m very excited and honored that she’s asked me to be a presenter at her upcoming Online Success Blueprint Workshop in LA November 8-10. I’ll be talking about my experience with podcasting. There are still a few seats available, so if you’re interested in attending click here.

My biggest take-away from the meeting? No matter how busy you get, take the time to acknowledge and appreciate yourself. I’ve been falling short on that front and it leaves me feeling like I’m running on empty sometimes. Looking back over the year I’ve accomplished so much in creating my new business, getting my book published and developing a wide variety of products and services that I’ve been taking so much for granted. Taking stock of what’s been put in place, and particularly the experience I’ve had this year working with hundreds of people in my classes and coaching, I am reminded of how blessed I am to be doing this work. Thanks for the reminder, my mastermind buddies!
