Only One Word - WOW!!

The Get RADICAL Women's Conference this past Saturday was amazing.  Women from all across the country - and Canada, Europe and Israel - joined me for a day of inspiration, motivation and fun!  The speakers were incredible and the energy was off the charts. 

Rhonda Britten talked about being fearless, Valorie Burton talked about getting unstuck, Kim Snider shared how to make money and KEEP money, Marshawn Evans talked about reinventing yourself, and I shared life lessons from training and running a half marathon.

And, of course, Jillian Michaels rocked the house! Answering questions from the audience, she gave great advice and insight on how to live your best life.  She is genuine, authenic, caring, fun, and has a true heart for helping people reach their goals - physically and beyond.  Here's a short clip of us chatting it up before we hit the stage:



Our RADICAL Woman of the Year Award Winner - Amy Barnes - told her incredible story of triump and touched every woman in the room. I'll definitely be sharing more about her in an upcoming post.  She is definitely a woman who exemplified what it means to Get RADICAL!

I'll be sharing tips and strategies from our speakers over the next couple of weeks. All of them had great information to help us get unstuck, move forward, and create the life - and the lifestyle - we all deserve.

Turn Setbacks Into Greenbacks

I've known Willie Jolley for years and it's amazing to me how he is always able to see opportunity in any circumstance.  Top companies use Willie time and time again to help their organization foster an attitude of excellence. 

His latest book, Turn Setbacks Into Greenbacks, helps people take the challenges, hardships, and disappointments they've experienced in the past couple of years and position themselves to come back greater and stronger.

Here are 4 great tips he shares from the book:

Focusing Your Vision:
Where you focus your energy determines where you will go. Focus your vision on what you want, despite the setback, and use the setback for what it really is: a transitional period.

Making a Decision:
Both success and failure are decisions. The truth, is successful people choose to be successful. Once your vision is in place, you need to decide you're going to win despite the setback!

Taking Action:
A decision without action is simply an illusion. By taking action on a decision, you're also taking responsibility for the setback. Remember, you might not be responsible for getting knocked down, but you are responsible for getting back up. Only those who act achieve their goals.

Keeping the Desire:
Desire is the degree of energy you're willing to exert in order to reach your goal. Decide how badly you want to achieve the goal and then keep going after it until you achieve it.
