Spring is finally here in L.A. and we are all heading into the 2nd business quarter. I know some of you across the country are still experiencing cold and snow. Hang tight. Warmer weather is coming soon. :)

 

I have two very exciting options I know some of you will jump at. Please read on.

 

If you're like me, I am always looking for innovative ways to upgrade my biz even when I am super busy!  

 

Innovation is happening all around us and we need to know which strategies, tools, and marketing systems to really pay attention to and which ones can either wait or just plain ignore.  

 

I hear over and over from clients and friends, "There are so many new options out there all the time - what do I pay attention to?" 

 

Don't get caught up in one of the biggest time-wasters many of us lifestyle entrepreneurs are guilty of - "B.S.O.S." - Bright Shiny Object Syndrome! As entrepreneurs we are optimists and opportunists. That's a good thing but it can be just as detrimental to our business growth.

 

Why?  

 

We are known for being seduced by every NEW social media channel, tool, techy doo-dad that comes our way because we don't' want to miss an opportunity. It could be that magic bullet or million dollar opportunity?!  

 

Right?  

 

My recommendation: learn what is the best use of your time and energy in today's menu of gazillion options and update your business disciplines and marketing systems. This strategy and knowledge builds your brand and the critical "know, like and trust factor" that converts online engagement to revenues.  

 

This translates to... results happen when we BUILD THE BOND online.

 

As you know my schedule is typically very full but my schedule has shifted and for the next two months I have exactly 2 private client spots open and one group Mastermind day.

 

I am offering these at a special rate (discount) because it's springtime ( I feel good!) and I know some of you are ready to upgrade your branding, marketing, mindset and systems by summertime so you can time off with family and then move into a stellar fall season.  

 

So if you'd like to take advantage here's how. Click here  

 

To your success and fulfillment!

BEAUTY FROM THE INSIDE

MEDITATION
If you can’t find time to meditate for at least a half hour a day, then break it up into ”mini moments” throughout the day! You can do this while you’re waiting for your computer to come on, having a coffee break, picking up kids, running errands, and the list goes on. There’s nothing like taking “mini moments” throughout the day to get still, breathe and take in a little bliss!

----------------------------------

Tips from Marla, Chief Inspiration Officer of eCreativebiz.com, and her business building eBook “Innovate Your Marketing with a Compelling Personal Brand”

Tip 1: Strategy

As an entrepreneur, the blending of your business brand as your personal brand is the secret to excelling in your marketing today. This allows you to be a savvy, innovative brand connecting with people worldwide and positioning you to have a global business.
In today's "Social Reward" economy, every business owner needs to think of herself as a brand; it's no longer an option, it's a necessity if you are to succeed in your marketing using Social Media today.

Tip 2: Mindset

Gratitude is a multiplier of good. The more you are in a state of gratitude for things small and large, seen or unseen, the more you effortlessly attract more good in your life. This is based on the “vibe” of your emotions. These emotions are of the highest vibrational frequency, and through the Law of Attraction they will attract even more to be thankful for.

We will cover these topics in more detail at the event!

Living Your Life Authentically

This week’s Beauty, Bling and Branding “Free Lifestyle and Business Tips”

From Laura Weintraub, Founder and Creative Director of Classy & Chic Makeup Boutiqueand her upcoming "Beauty Tips and Tricks from the Inside Out" eBook!

BEAUTY FROM THE INSIDE

HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE
Did you know how to figure out how much water you should drink a day.  Take your body weight and divide it by 2 then divide that by 8oz and that’s how much water you should be drinking.  For example if your body weight is 130 divided by 2 equals 65 divided by 8oz of water equals 8 glasses of water per day.

BEAUTY IS IN THE MIND OF THE BEHOLDER!
This applies no only to what you see but what you think.  If you’re catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, simple ask those thoughts “how are you here to serve me”?  99.9% of the time they’re not there to serve you at all so simply shift to a thought that does! Place close attention to how your body feels when you shift your thoughts!


TO BEAUTY ON THE OUTSIDE

STRIP LASHES
Remember that strip lashes will cause a cast shadow against the lid so go easy on your shading color.  You can always apply more shadow after your lashes are on to enhance the look.

PERFECT LIP PENCIL
Dip your lip pencil into some lip conditioner first then draw your lines.  This helps the lip pencil glide smoothly and evenly over the lips for perfect lines every time.

Here’s YOUR Free Tips (share with your other entrepreneurial women friends):

From Laura Weintraub, Founder and Artistic Director of Classy & Chic Makeup Boutique and her upcoming "Beauty Tips and Tricks from the Inside Out" eBook!

BEAUTY ON THE INSIDE
Inspire Yourself
Start each day by taking 10 minutes to inspire yourself with a quick read from one of your books by a spiritual teacher or mentor. I love to grab a book and ask myself "what do I need to know today"!  I fan the pages over and over until they start to stick together and then when it feels right, I land on a page and read it.  This is based on the "law of attraction" and 99.9% of the time, it's exactly what I need to know in that moment!

BEAUTY ON THE OUTSIDE
Get That Eyeshadow To Stay All Day
Before applying eyeshadow use a waterproof primer then apply your shadow.  My favorite is Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer from Sephora.  It's not only water resistant, it's creaseproof too!

From Marla, Personal Branding and Social Media Expert/Strategist of eCreativebiz.com, and her “5 Truths About Social Media Marketing.”

1. Social Media is first and foremost about building quality relationships in a community format, while delivering your personal brand (storytelling) via your profile not just a fan page. Watch your mindset and intention as you post. Gratitude, appreciation, kindness, giving, and serving are all energetically responsible intentions. Success on this platform is building the KNOW, LIKE, & TRUST factor first to prospective and existing community members, selling/promoting second. Social Media is the NEW PR.

2. I liken Social Media to a game of golf. You are having a good time socializing in a casual, enjoyable environment as you play a mindful game that is enhanced by the quality discussions and interactions with your golf partners. With that, you build the KNOW LIKE TRUST and deals go down on the golf course; as they do on Facebook and Twitter. New clients and customers will show up as a result of your consistent postings (and that’s not hard or time consuming when I teach it!) and peer-to-peer marketing.

We will cover these topics in more detail at the event! Join us for an evening designed for the professional woman who seeks a quality look and brand for her professional image and how to strategically market it on Social Media networks!
