Since we are in the business of celebrating Rock Star Women in Business, we thought we’d share a post from one we respect, love, and want you to know.  Meet Lisa Sasevich, The Queen of Sales.  We’ve learned a ton from her, but above all celebrate who she is as a wife and mother first.  Oh yeah, she’s also heading up her 7-figure company by using her own Rock Star qualities.  Here’s her latest:

What to Do AFTER You Get Off the Stage

Okay, you’re on stage, you’ve just done a great job of walking your audience through your offers, clearly communicating their value and the transformation your clients will experience.

We received a post from one of our regular contributing experts for your World Tour of Success, Kelly Stallings, and wanted to share it with you on the general blog.  Kelly is a psychotherapist and author of “Life is Mental: Think Thin to Live Thin.”  Here, she shared with us why so many resolutions never see a day past January and how to change that for yourself.  While access to Kelly is normally reserved for our WTOS members, we bent the rules a little here and said, “Welcome to February, friends!” Here’s what she wrote: Read the rest of this entry »
