Business Lessons from Momma!

The very best thing that I can do for you today is share with you one of the greatest gifts that I have been given! That is my friend Deremiah *CPE. He is one of my greatest teachers and one of my favorite blessings. (I have spent hours on the phone with him and had the true privilege of interviewing him a handful of times on my radio shows. )

Today with tears in my eyes, I am so honored to share him with you … give yourself a gift and listen to him on another radio show that he was just on as he shares the amazing Business lessons that his Momma taught him!

You will learn outstanding gems that his Momma taught him like this… “If once a task you have begun, never quite until it is done… be the labor big or small, do it well or not at all!”

Celebrate your Life and the amazing people/things that surround you! I promise you this… This radio interview is the most inspired thing that I have ever shared with you!

I am sitting here, listening to his latest radio show... with tears in my eyes I find myself more humbled by the Inspiration that is Deremiah Cpe ! He continues to teach me so much, words will never be big enough to share the gratitude that I have for dear friend Deremiah *CPE! Thank YOU for all that he does to inspire us in service, love and grace! Thanks be to his Momma for the lessons that she “eaupened” up in him, I stand with him in celebration for her life. I love YOU!

Humbly Yours,

Marcia Johnson

Facebook ...Simplified

In case you did not know, the way that facebook works is when you are a member of a group / page the program automatically feeds posts back to your news feed wall.... so any information that people post will show up on your wall, unless you UN-Join the group / page it will keep doing it. If you are not happy receiving group messages, the way to stop receiving them is to un-join the group. Not that I want you to leave any of our groups... but I do want to be helpful!

The same thing happens with Friend Requests ...the moment that you send a request, if the persons Privacy settings are not on LockDown, You will start to see their posts appearing on your wall. (It is built into the program, it is not because people are sending you everything that they do online...it is a program feed that pulls the most popular things (based on people clicking like) as well as the most recent posts.

When I spoke with an old friend of mine that I had not spoken to in awhile, he called me a spammer.... it was simply because he did not know how Facebook's auto feed program worked, once I explained it, he apologized and understood. I was not me, it was the program...so if you have friends who share lots, it is likely that Your Facebook is covered with posts by them... if you share lots, keep in mind that you are probably covering your fiends news feeds.

(Lack of knowledge and a persons Perspective can create misunderstandings ...so do take some time to learn the program before RE-Acting ... when you are educated you can come from a place of understanding.)

Think about your Facebook Goals... when you are there to uplift and motivate others, it can make a real difference to your own experiences. Instead of meeting people by making them go directly to your website...focus on them... otherwise it is like trying to sleep with someone on a first date ...or french kissing a stranger before you even know their name. Be the same genuine person that you are offline , online... you will go much further and be of real Value to your online world!

I hope that this information is helpful.

Wishing YOU the very best.

Humbly Yours,

Marcia

Complaint Free Relationships

On Thursday/13/2010 I have the honor of interviewing Will Bowen… on Stock Talk Radio http://ow.ly/1GqfL Complaint Free Relationships is by far my favorite book that I have read this year!!! This book will help YOU Positively transform YOUR Personal, Work & Love Relationships! The wisdom in this book is easy to apply (with practice ) into your daily life! Snippets like… “Relationships are not 50 / 50 it is more like 100 / 100 !”

This books opens up your ability to stop making excuses and take accountability for who YOU are, What YOU are and Where YOU are! It helps you understand that YOU do have options and that YOU are the one that is the constant in every relationship that YOU have ever had…. Where it is a work relationship or a personal relationship… YOU are the one that has been in every relationship that YOU have ever had…. When YOU make that “Ah Ha” in you own mind… you open yourself up to all new possibilities!

As YOU click the link to set a reminder for yourself to listen to the show… think about this, “The mind is a manufacturer; it produces thoughts. The mouth is a customer that buys what is produced, speaking the thoughts aloud. When the customer stops buying what the manufacture is producing, the manufacture will retool!” Will Bowen

Mining Perspective

Several years ago, when I was working for a Gold & Silver exploration company I had the great opportunity to travel to the ‘hands on’ portion of the company in the little community of Stewart BC. I had worked for the company for about a year in Marketing. It was my responsibility to attend all of the investment trade shows and promote the company stock. Don’t kid yourself, it was hard work attending these shows… because of what it took for us to be unsurpassed and best represented at all of the shows that we attended.

We would arrive at least an hour or two before anyone of the other attendees to begin the set up of our video wall and always left an hour or so after everyone else as well. Nine huge monitors on a metal frame, cases of videos, a heavy hard drive to run it….and a computer backup. It was flashy, impressive and a far cry from the wrinkled maps taped to the backdrops of our neighboring companies.

The rise from $.90 cents to $2.65 was an exciting and fast paced climb. Encase you are keeping track, that was a $110,000,000 market cap! Yes things were going good. Raising money was easy…raising big money was easier! With a great story, good properties and a management team that appeared to be able to take the company into production, everything seemed to be going well.

My schedule was hectic to say the least… but I was loving what I did. I believed in the product, and I was most successful in sharing the vision with amazing people with deep pockets. Countless trips to Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto, then Chicago, New Orleans, and NYC; I enjoyed the travel, but my favorite thing was meeting the new people and hearing about their experiences. I still remain friends with some of the top analysts & investors in the world.

I was of the understanding because of my perspective… that marketing was the most important part of the company… that childish belief soon changed when I had the opportunity to put on my boots on the ground and embrace the possibility from a hands on perspective. The entire marketing department (all 3 of us) flew to northern BC to help out the field crew and see firsthand what it was that we were promoting. My eyes were opened with understanding when we flew to the mountain property in the helicopter.

Seeing with my own eyes, where all of the “flow through” money was being spent helped me to understand how when the field crew did their job successfully and efficiently ... it made my job easier. I cut meters and meters of core, hiked the amazing glaciers and was filthy from head to toe when I bailed out the gray water to make the showers work better for all of the hard working people on site. With dirt under my beautiful nails, I jumped in and did everything that I could to help out, so that we could wrap up the drill season before the snow began to fall. I even rigged helicopter loads and gave tours to potential investors and an analyst friend of mine who popped by to write us up. (Popping by means a lot there… because the only way to drop in..was by Helicopter!)

When I was not riding in helicopters or sleeping in a tent on the side of the mountain, I was flown out to the closest community of Stewart BC. Stewart is a gold town gone bust… because of the narrow focus and rigged ways of understanding. Many years earlier in Canada’s most northerly ice free port of Stewart, cruise ships were met by picketers in an angry mob… because instead of having the perspective of OPPORTUNITY…they saw invaders. Times were changing, for the locals of Stewart! They had the choice to embrace the change…and positively make loads of money on tourism or hold firm to their limiting beliefs that ‘outsiders’ would infect the community. Even the breath taking scenery was not enough to captivate the cruise line company…when faced with the local mob. So the cruise ships …and opportunity sailed back out to the Ocean of possibilities.

Despite efforts disease did set in and almost killed the small town of Stewart. Since their belief was so narrow minded and limiting, they missed out on an amazing opportunity. Stewart became a near ghost town, because of the death grip that the locals had on themselves.

Change is always constant… the more WE resist… the more it persists. With our consent or not… change is inevitable. With this in mind, would it not be much more effective to focus and direct the change… instead of it becoming a victim to it? Why not have the attitude of embracing the possibility to guide and support the change in a positive manner that will benefit all parties…rather than being steam rolled by change that is coming anyways.

Our Valley, is on the verge of tremendous opportunities. The magnitude of these opportunities has the possibility to be guided and supported by the Valley. So weather you have the perspective of the “Damn Invaders” are coming in taking over our community…. or one of Opportunity and potential to make loads of money ‘Serving your way to Success’… is really up to you.

My perspective is one of excitement and possibilities. It is my choice how I perceive, receive and respond… it is also up to me to determine what “Opinion” I listen to! Throughout history, there has always been countless numbers of people who choose to criticize and give limitless reasons why an idea, event, or business will not succeed… however, it is those people who decided to do it anyways and succeeded that I choose to listen to. It is in the focus on how to win a race that the driver crosses the finish line… not on focusing on the reasons why wining is not possible. It is easy to sit back and criticize, however it takes courage, skill and passion to stand up and create solutions.

So, I ask you, are you joining me in the Valley of Possibilities… or are you making a banner to stop your ship from coming in?

Humbly Yours,
Marcia

Leadership Excellence

Excellence... what is that?

Robin Sharma calls it "Leadership without Title," others call it Personal Statesmanship... but no matter what Title you give it, it is vital to not only your personal success but the success of others.

We need to look at things from other perspectives even if at first we do not agree with them. When we learn from others perspectives and shed a light on the truth in them... we can ask ourselves:

• Is there any truth behind the perspective?
• Have I taken a good hard look at what other people believe and why...

When we not only know what we believe but also know what other people believe and why they believe it, it helps us to truly understand their view point and the situation as a whole. From there, you can believe what you want... our world views are primarily made up of our Culture, our Family and our Friends...

True Leaders understand & are respectful to being open to learning Truth no matter what form it arrives in...l while remembering what they Stand for. Than use these Truths in the others view point and openly understand and learn from the others perspective.

No matter what time, no matter what is happening on the surface, true leaders identify the problems ...look at society as it is and how it should be and then they bridge the gap to facilitate that change. They are solution providers and stand strong in the resolution of change.

What do YOU stand for?

Buddha said, " Your mission in life is to find your mission in life... and then give your whole heart and soul to it."

I ask you to bravely step forward in the absence of knowing... and stand for what YOU believe in once YOU understand where those beliefs came from. Remember to understand your view point, you must go to the source of where it was formed. Open your mind to the things that you have never understood and find the truth in it... releasing your own limiting beliefs is key!

Great Leaders not only invest time and effort into their own learning but they also look around them and inspire others to become leaders as well. Leadership is a sport best played... Together.

Marcia
