What Was The Point??
Did you ever have someone say something in a conversation that inspired you to tell a story and when you began to tell the story you got so caught up in the details that you couldn’t remember the point of your story? Can’t say that has ever happened to me. HA! The same thing can happen to us entrepreneurs, we get so caught up in the details of our business that we forget the point or goal of what we set out to do. As we begin 2014, take out those business plans and review them. Remembering where you were going in the first place can make a difference on how you approach this year. A...
Read MoreWhat Members Are Saying…
We always get some great testimonials that we haven’t shared so we thought we would start by sharing an exerpt from Cristy Carroll of Wise HR Patnerships, one of our Corporate Members(f ull time office holder). This is what she wrote in one of her recent newsletters… “My thoughts on Coworking Spaces” by Cristy Carroll What’s cool about “shared work space” I have been at the U Center since December ’12 and I can tell you it is cool! I love being there. First, I enjoy the “shared work space” (Nicole prefers the term coworking) and...
Read MoreDo You Have Your “Two-Minute Spiel”?
Back in my racing business days, I traveled to many race tracks to promote our head restraints and driver safety systems. Upon arrival, I would load my back pack with flyers, business cards and catalogs while carrying one of our most current devices and trek through the pits to deliver my “two-minute spiel” to the drivers and their crews. When I say two-minute spiel, I literally mean a two-minute talk –if it were any longer I would lose their attention. I learned quickly how to share a non-offensive and yet intriguing approach, which would usually result in further inquiries and...

Read MoreSpeaking to Attract More Clients………
Back in ’09, my friend, Denise Williams of Peoples Bank, and I formed the Executive Women of LKN group. For a while I served as the Speaker/Education Coordinator for the group. I was mostly responsible for introducing the speakers, which I thought would be pretty easy since I’m usually comfortable speaking casually in front of groups. I found out that giving a professional presentation in a structured setting is a little different. I realized over time it would be advantageous to take a “public speaking” workshop. As you may have seen on our U Agenda last week, I’m proud to say The...
Read MoreGoing For The Gold?
Did you watch the XXX Olympiad Games in London? Did you notice how determined the athletes were in going for the Gold or how much hard work they put in to get where they were? As I’ve mentioned before, determination and hard work are my two favorite ingredients to achieving a goal or going for the Gold. I’ve also talked about how “U” are your best investment. Consider how these athletes got to this point in their pursuit of gold and you will find a common thread. They all invested in their coaches. Just like athletes look to a coach for training and expertise, coaches play many roles...
