My parents and my 2 sisters and their families will be there so 2 little nieces and 1 nephew running around (and one yet to be determined in my youngest sister’s belly).   Mark, the kids and I should get 5-6 good ski days on the mountain.   Skiing is something that we really enjoy as a family.

I am looking forward to getting a chance to unwind, relax and reflect on what a wonderful year it has been.  I hope you will make the time to do the same.

I wish you all the best this holiday and into the new year!

I just finished writing the material for the 3rd call in my teleseminar series, “The Fast Track to 6-Figures – How to Become Known and Be Paid as a Premier Expert in Your Field.” I covered a lot of topics in this call but one of the things that I wanted to share with you was about Building Your Credibility.

One of the ways I will discuss about how to build your credibility is by being an original, not a copy.  You need to find the uniqueness within yourself that makes you shine like a superstar.  What brilliance to you possess that will make clients want to work with YOU and not someone else in your niche?  You don’t have to reinvent the wheel and come up with revolutionary concepts.  If you can great!  If not, then find something that resonates with you and figure out ways that you can make it yours by applying your own unique spin.

As Abraham Lincoln said “Every man (and I will add woman) is born and original, but sadly most die copies.”

Express yourself as who you are and who you want to be perceived as and that will attract like-minded clients who will really want to work with you and who’ll pay for the privilege.

To learn more about how to hop on the fast track to 6-figures without working all the time, I encourage you to sign up for my 4 part Teleseminar Series (It just started but it is not too late and you’ll get any call that you may have missed on an MP3).

I tell you this because I can promise you that when Ms.Kline started her career- she was not making anywhere near that amount.  What she did well was showcase her unique style in her business and she created awesome results.  Over time, she grew her business and became known as an expert.  And THEN, she was able to command much higher fees.

The fun part for Mark and I was dressing up as our good friends and showing up at their party as… them!  Mark grew 6 inches thanks to his platform shoe invention.  And, in addition to my blond transformation, I created revolutionary breast implants- socks! (I’m pretty sure that is what was used in the olden days).

We all had such a fun weekend and yet, we almost didn’t go.  Why?  The same reason we all use to avoid having fun- we were “too busy”, it was “too expensive”, it was “too much to plan”.  Well, guess what?

We have to keep fun in our lives and spend time with people we love – to enjoy living!  Life is just too short not to have fun with people you care about.

That’s the bottom line.

So, let’s all agree to keep having fun as we grow our businesses, shall we?

A quick tip- you need at least three weeks to market a free preview teleseminar (much longer for big events). Plan out 6-8 autoresponders to your list, including some videos that you post on your blog and on youtube. Be sure to have a keyword-rich text around your video. If you can find some affiliates, who will send emails to their list and receive a percentage of income from the offer you present on your teleseminar- even better!

These are just quick tips- but I hope they help!

So, I worried about the investment and did it anyway.  And I just reminded myself what I truly believe- when you step up in a way that pulls your forward, opportunities arise to help you get there.

Lo and behold, at here event, I not only filled my Platinum coaching program- I started taking deposits for my next one in 2010!  This was not something I expected.  (And, FYI, I do offer private coaching with me in my Platinum programs and don’t foresee giving that up- since I love fully participating in my client’s transformations).

I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to share my Platinum coaching program with coaches and entrepreneurs I didn’t know before and am thrilled with the level of motivation and determination of my new clients. 2010 will be an amazing year for me, both in the mentoring I receive and the mentoring I give others, and I wish the same for all of you!

I made the mistake recently of responding to a friend’s request about what I charge for my platinum coaching services and answering right away- while we were jogging no less!  Although I still believe she will will invest in my services, it was a wake-up call that I need to get better at waiting to present my fees.  Even when asked on the spot.
