The View From the Mountain with Park City’s Krista Parry

Aly & Andrea — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:30:10 +0000

Being from Texas, where its a thousand degrees at times, we have a huge appreciation for snowy mountains and dry, cool summer evenings. For a that and a million other reasons, we have a particularly huge appreciation for Park City Mountain Resort, all the very cool people on it, and the Snowmama of ‘em all, Krista Parry. We spoke with the former track star turned PR Director, mom-blogger, and snow mama last week during the Olympics and she (as always) had lots to share.

Single Mom Rocks It!

Aly & Andrea — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 05:28:23 +0000

Look at her. She’s beautiful. And when you get to know her, you’ll find out that she’s as compassionate as she is gorgeous. Outwardly, this single mom and grandma (seriously!) and nurse practitioner appears to have it all…and perhaps she does. But if that is true, it certainly has not always been so. We talked with Terri Suresh the other day, and she shared with us her story about why she does what she does every day, how she did it as a single mom, and exactly why she is so passionate about women and their rights to be heard when it comes to their health and

Our Favorite Inspirational Olympic Moment Ever

Aly & Andrea — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 16:24:12 +0000

It is a moment in Olympic history that has been called both funny, and sad. For us, it was one of the most inspirational moments ever. Watch first, then we’ll tell you why…

Light the Fire Within

Olympic opening day today! YES! As we think about how these athletes from around the world have prepared, we also think about what it is that gives them that extra edge to be the best in the world. What is that spark, and who lit it in them so many

Top Secrets to Slam Dunk Your BoR Sales

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. You did everything right, including presenting a Today Only bonus that has your audience chomping at the bit to buy from you.

You may or may not realize that what you do next ~ or, rather what you don’t do next ~ could cost you thousands of dollars in sales. Don’t let that happen to you. Follow these deceptively simple secrets and claim the sales you just earned.

The New Years Resolution That Saw February. And Beyond.

Aly & Andrea — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:53:34 +0000

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:

Without This, Forget That! A Follow Up to Overcoming Adversity

Aly & Andrea — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 21:21:33 +0000

As a follow up to our last post, “How to Beat Adversity, Obstacles, and Other Crisis In Your Life,” we wanted to share with you the most important component on that list. The umbrella over it all, for us. We want to share it with you not to shove it down your throat or be obscene about it, but because it is who we are at the core and we always want to be transparent about that. Emphasis on always. Introducing our F-word. We have a few of them, but not the one you think. Failure is one of our favorites, because we have such a gratitude for the opportunity

5 Most Critical Steps to Beating Adversity, Obstacles, and Other Major Crisis in Your Life

Aly & Andrea — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 06:11:38 +0000

We all have crisis. If you are not in it now, you’ve been in it before, and you will likely be in it again. And perhaps again, and again. We (Aly and Andrea) happen to be in it now, personally, and in an unimaginably huge way. Perhaps because we are motivational speakers, and most see us as just about the “happiest people they know,” you probably don’t believe us when we say this is a very sad, difficult family crisis we are going through right now. It is. We’ll tell you all about it another day, but we know we’ll get through it, past it, and beyond it. The question for you becomes, how do you get past your life-crisis? Better yet, how will they shape you?
We did not become the “adversity experts” for no reason. We have been here, in the middle of awful, many times before and we have a system. We know the critical components to beating and thriving amongst the adversity. Here are some of our favorites:

Power of Showing Up!

Aly & Andrea — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:33:44 +0000

We did a flip-flop today and it was so fun! Not a real one- we retired from that kind of cheerleading after college. BUT, we will never retire from the best kind of cheerleading– the kind where we get to lift up other women in business, empower you, motivate you,
