2010 A YEAR OF SUCCESS FOR ALL..

Published: Friday, January 08, 2010

Just finished my monthly radio show on Diva Tool Box Radio, www.divatoolbox.com which is called Strategies for Success. The show is heard live the first Sunday of each month at 6:00 PM PST and 9:00 PM EST and then other times in the other time zones, you can hear the show both by calling in or go on line. Go to www.divatoolbox.com and click on radio hosts and then look for my name Robbie Motter on page 2, and click on it, and that takes you to my host page, you will find past shows archived there as well, and also if you tune in the first Sunday of each month you can hear it live and ask questions of my guests.

My guest for January was truly a success story, her name is Connie Harryman and at the age of eight she was a Mexican American girl working alongside her impoverished parents in the rural fields of Texas to today being the CEO of Applied Concepts Creativity. www.appliedconceptscreativity.com and her email is connieharryman@att.net. her journey to success has taken her many places.

I asked her what advice would she give to others, and below were just a few of her answers.

Read everything you can to gain virtual experience.

Talk to people you admire, tell them you admire them and why, and ask for their input on various

options.

Surround yourself with successful people

Get your education, learn work skills.

If you want something to come true in your future life, than you have to initiate it, you have to make a

plan, and then every single day take one small step towards your goal.

Always volunteer to be the leader, it is easier than you think.

Read about future trends, and then go get the skill set you need to find the new jobs or clients in the

new economy.

She also said some of the tools that she used and still uses to accelerate her success was:

She learned how and still develops a written plan to achieve her goals.

Time Management skills.

Flexibility, having a plan B is a beautiful thing.

She has learned to use language and put words together like:

Exploring my options,

What is your philosophy about ______

How do you approach _____________?

These are great as it gets the person to engage in the conversation with you.

I SHOWED UP two years ago at a WITI (Women In Technology) conference in Santa Clara and that is how I met Connie. She is someone you also might want to connect with as she is also a person that loves to help women step out of the box into success and has lots of wisdom.. Her email is connieharryman@att.net and her phone is 864-527-5930. She is truly a rare jewel and I am honored that we are also friends.

She like me also feels it is so important for all of us to learn all about Social Networking as it is here to stay, Perhaps 2010 you have made a goal to do your own Blog, as I did in 2009. If that is a goal than I would totally like to recommend Infinity Arts www.infinityarts.com email results@infinityarts.com they are fantastic and everyone I have referred to them loves their work and they are also affordable, so check them out as having a Blog is a great thing for you to do.

Or perhaps one of your goals is to have a radio show, whether it is once a week, every other week, or once a month as I have selected to do. I looked at many sources out there available to do an Internet radio show but decided on using Diva Tool Box as I believe they are the best, and they make it easy for non tech people like me Check out their website at www.divatoolbox.com . Janet Powers the founder of Diva Tool Box is terrific she is there for her radio hosts and makes it so easy to do a show and again its affordable. Her website is terrific, and there are opportunities to do articles, promote your book as well as do a radio show. Janet helps you set it up so that all you have to do is do your show which is really pretty easy. Many people I have referred to her are now doing shows and they love her and the great opportunities Diva Tool Box affords them.

I met Janet two years ago when I was a finalist for one of the E Women Network awards and I went to their Dallas conference and SHOWED UP. As I always saying showing up is like a treasure map, and I met lots of treasures at that conference and also at the WITI conference.

I truly believe that 2010 is going to be a great year for all of us, forget the doom and gloom, read the news for opportunities, surround yourself with positive people, SHOW UP and ASK for what it is you want and need.

I already have been booked for many speaking opportunities in 2010, as well as for consulting work so for me things are moving forward. I also have been doing PR for a few clients and always love it when I see some of my work end up in the papers, as one did this week in the San Diego Business Journal, this makes not only me happy but my clients happy as well.

I encourage all of you to become part of NAFE, www.nafe.com the largest global network for women, and sign up for their NAFE CAFE as it affords lots of great opportunities and its FREE if you are a NAFE member and you can check out the www.nafe.com for a NAFE affiliate network near you, and if there is none you can start one, call me at 888-244-4420 and I will tell you how easy it is to do.

If you are in Southern CA then you can connect with the For YOU NAFE Affiliate networks, go to www.4younetwork.org and check out where those networks meet. I serve as the director of two of them, the Murrieta CA For You/NAFE network which meets the 2nd Wed of each month in Murrieta at Carrows at 11:30 am and the South Orange County For You/NAFE network that meets the 4th Tuesday of each month at Sarducci's Restaurant in San Juan Capistrano, CA at 6:30 pm. I invite you to come and visit us as I said SHOWING UP is a great thing to do. Each meeting has a dynamic speaker and the opportunity to network and build relationships. We will be doing Vision Boards at the January Murrieta meeting, and the SOC meeting we have a dynamic speaker Ardice Farrow who will give us great tips to start us on our way for the new year.

One tip that I find that works for me on doing my goals is, I record them on a CD and then play it when I am driving and then I hear my own voice say what I will accomplish and I find that more powerful than writing them down, and I can update them at anytime. Your voice telling you that you will do a certain thing is quite powerful.

I wish each of you great success in 2010 and know that I am always here to answer your questions, be your cheerleader or ??? so call me at 888-244-4420 or email me at rmotter@aol.com Would love to hear about your SHOW UP and ASK stories for future blogs.

I always wondered what people felt when their doctor gave them bad news. I myself have not been much of a doctor person over the years. Recently I had to give in and SHOW UP at my wonderful doctors office as I was having some knee pain. While I was there she asked me if I had any other problems and so I thought that I would share with her that I had been having a little breast pain on my left Breast for awhile.
