Thanks to Mel Robbins, host of a nationally syndicated radio talk show, DonnaSpeaks is getting around! Don’t get me wrong – I put in my fair share of blood, sweat, and tears but it sure does help to have a CNBC contributor in your corner.

I recently helped Ty in Chicago put an action plan together for breaking into the speaking industry. When she initially called me (yes! I answer my own phone!), she admitted that she had some fears and reservations because she didn’t know how receptive I would be to having a complete stranger call out of nowhere needing help. FYI…that’s what coaching is all about. Ty had a laundry list of audiences and topics that she wanted to speak on and only a few of them were closely connected. She talked and I listened and took notes. By the end of the call, I’d managed to help her define her target audience, gave her a topic that would best suit that audience, and a plan that she could immediately execute.

Denise in Texas contacted me for financial guidance. Like so many of us, she had more bills than she had money. She was in a pickle about who to pay and how much and of all things, how to best allocate whatever would be left over. My advice was to pay the “urgent” bills first – the necessities that you can’t live without – shelter, electricity, water, gas, and food. Everyone else could wait! Put the cable, cell phone, and any other miscellaneous bills on the back burner this pay period, but definitely call the creditors to explain the situation and workout a payment arrangement.

This is what I do – one day at a time – one person at a time – listen, connect, and offer practical real life solutions that guarantee results.

Have a question for me? I’d love to chat with you – contact me today. You are not in this alone.
