Smart Women Live Their Why: How Women Entrepreneurs Are Living On Purpose and In Passion

Smart Women Live Their Why: How Women Entrepreneurs Are Living On Purpose and In Passion, and it is an incredibly inspirational read.

Full of heart-centered personal stories and practical business advice from women from across the globe, it is a true testament to the way female entrepreneurs are shaping and influencing the world.

Chapter after chapter, you are taken on a journey with a woman who has encountered challenging – sometimes downright severely traumatic situations – both in business and at home, that create the circumstances where her unique WHY is born. Then you learn how she cultivates and honors her WHY as she moves forward, teaching you in the process.

In today’s business world, it’s not enough anymore for women influencers to simply be savvy, tenacious and practical in business. Women want more. They want the whole nine yards: a thriving, successful business that continues making money year after year AND is one that brings their innate gifts to the world.

The WHY is the pivotal part of the equation. Now you can see through other women’s eyes and experiences how they’ve found their WHY and how they’re using it to give back and make positive change in the world.

Each woman’s story is vastly different from the next but incredibly motivating and eye-opening – a window into their hearts and souls. Just remember not to compare yourself with these phenomenal ladies. Learn from their insights but march to your own drum!

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying: “Do what you love and the money will come.” Now I REALLY understand this concept as evidenced in this brilliant Smart Women anthology. This is powerful, honest sharing at its best by women just like you who are ready to step into their WHY and build a business that flows from it.

Your WHY is an inside job. Your business is an outward reflection of it. Now join thousands of women around the world who are LIVING their WHY every day. This book shows you how!

Would you like to personally mentor with me in February?

Good Monday Morning,

It’s Sheri, and I’m writing all my Smart Women friends today since many of you have expressed interest in receiving personal mentoring from me, so please read on…

Once or twice a year, I offer a two-day mastermind meeting for 10 women. It is a transformational, two-day, closed-door session for 10 select women entrepreneurs who need to receive honest and experienced objective insight on what the next best strategies are to take their businesses to the next level, much faster.

You may or may not know that I’ve coached hundreds of women over the last decade from start-up to successful 6 and 7 figure businesses.  Although, I no longer offer year long programs, I still open up my office once or twice a year to help women create and grow businesses that change the world.  It is my big WHY.
Well, the universe has been up to magic again and due to a cancellation, we have opened up another spot for a lucky Smart Woman!

So, that means we have a spot just for you.

Please join me for two powerful days of high-level input on your individual business, February 21st & 22nd here in San Antonio, Texas.

In addition to our two live days together, you’ll also get private pre- and post-meeting calls with me to discuss your business in-depth, one-on-one.

During these calls, I will assess your current Smart foundation or lack thereof, and determine your specific Smart Plan to help you grow fast.

If you feel this could be exactly what YOU need at this time, then send an application in right away, you can download it here:

I think you owe yourself this opportunity as well do the many you will serve in the future.

I look forward to meeting YOU soon!

P.S. This Business Stimulus two-day mastermind will most likely be the final session I host this year. We have already filled most of the spots and have just one left due to last minute cancellation.  Did the universe open up the space for you? If so, grab an application today at http://www.smartwomeninstitute.com/coachsulting

Smart Tip of the Day

Dear Smart Women,

“Products and services succeed one person at a time, as the word slowly spreads. Customers defect one person at a time, as hearts are broken and people are disappointed. Doors open, sure, but not all at once. One at a time. One at a time is a little anticlimactic and difficult to get in a froth over, but one at a time is how we win and how we lose.” Seth Godin

I’ve been saying this for years… unfortunately, most of you do want success faster.

And sometimes, you are willing to drink the Marketing Kool Aid that is being poured out there because it gives you hope for immediate success, which seems to be what you need to start now.

For some of you, you might have never started otherwise, so in that way, maybe it is acceptable to poor this “tell them what they want to hear” Kool Aid.

Just so you know, the realistic sweet spot where things START taking off for most start-ups is around a year and a half.

It takes time, so ask yourself, where do you want to be in a few years?

Where you are right now

OR

in a place where you are building equity each day as the owner of a business?

Become an Author In Our Next Smart Women Book Series!

Dear Smart Woman,

How are you?  I wanted to take a quick moment to wish you an amazing and safe holiday weekend!

I also wanted to let you know that the author spaces in our next book are going really fast.

Since we’ve had so many questions come in during the last week about the opportunity, I thought I’d give you my two cents here with the most popular question that came up about your ”ego”.

It amazes me what comes up for women when they are faced with a decision to say yes or no about an opportunity.

I hope this helps and make sure to take a moment today before the weekend to go ahead and commit if you are interested in the opportunity.  The spaces are going fast.

Big hugs to each of you,

Sheri

First, a little bit about the mission of the book:

The Smart Women’s Institute of Entrepreneurial Learning is proud to open up the opportunity for you to participate and be an author in the 4th book in the Smart Women SERIES ^TM This year’s book title Smart Women Live Their Why – How Women Entrepreneurs Are Living On Purpose and In Passion will be a compilation of tips, advice, inspiration, and stories from successful women who live all over the world. The mission of our latest book is to empower women who are just starting their entrepreneurial journey as well as those women who have been in profitable businesses for decades. We want to remind people to never negatively compare the beginning of their journey with the middle of another persons. Instead, we want them to feel the potential and the possibilities in front of them when they read our stories.

Ways You Can Leverage This Book to Grow Your Business

Becoming a Smart Woman co-author is the next best thing to authoring your own book and a lot cheaper. And when it comes to the promotion side of book publishing, being a co-author is a lot better because you have a large company with an established brand behind you as well as 30 to 40 other co-authors in the trenches promoting with you.

And because these authors are invested (meaning they paid to play) they actually promote!

Listen, I’ve been publishing books for over a decade now and I’ve used many models and what I can tell you behind the scenes is when people pay for something, they value the opportunity.

Don’t let your ego get in the way of not taking advantage of what is right in front of you and is going to be a LOT of fun for everyone involved.  This isn’t about how good you are and waiting for someone to pay you to be published.  That is not a business mindset.  That is your ego talking.  Period.

ROI is all about return on investment.  And this opportunity is about brilliant women partnering together and encouraging others to live their dreams and believe in themselves.

Remember, we are all one!

Well, if you let your ego get in the way, that is about you, not about what you can do to help others.

In my opinion, your ego has no business getting in the way of you inspiring other women to take the next big leap.  Are you hearing me?

I felt like I had to write and share from the heart today because we are getting so many emails from women regarding the pay to play.  And interestingly, they aren’t worried about the money, they are worried about what people will think. Wow. I hope this helps you if you were trying to deal with some of those ego-driven mindsets this week.

Now, if you are one of the people who aren’t listening to your ego and are ready to play, but just don’t understand how to leverage an opportunity like this, let me tell you.

Co-authors can leverage this book as a marketing tool for years by:

• Sitting on physical and virtual panels together
• Participating in media interviews such as TV, radio, and print that we will be booking across the USA
• Participating in our month long virtual event and video expo in September
• Taking advantage of the positioning along side very successful entrepreneurs
• Sending the book to potential clients as a gift
• Using it as a bonus, benefit, or list builder in your current business
• Using it to build your database at live events
• And so much more!

Possible ideas for your chapter:

• Tips on how to live your purpose while running a business
• Stories of how you survived a breakdown in your business and how it ended up leading to a breakthrough
• Inspiration on how you became successful and key points that you believe would inspire other women
• How to balance your life and your business
• Time management tips that help women stay sane and on purpose
