Did you miss Tuesday’s live video chat with me and the wise Mark Silver from Heart of Business? Not to worry, we’ve got ya covered! You can sign-up for the replay here.
If you think sales is icky or just plain “ewwwww” to quote someone from the chat, then you’re sure to learn lots from this informative and heartfelt session. Mark shared his Sacred Selling model and answered really great questions that came in from our live chat. No doubt questions about sales that you probably have yourself. I also talked through some examples of how his teachings have helped me.
We also shared an exclusive offer that ends tomorrow morning, August 24th to those of you in my community to take the Sacred Selling teachings deeper through Mark’s comprehensive home study program. To be transparent, Mark is sharing a portion of the profits with me during this special promotion as a thank you for letting you know about this valuable resource.
Even if the special offer isn’t for you, I know you’ll gain so much from simply watching the 60-min. no-cost class.
In fact, here’s what some of our live participants had to say at the end of our session:
“This came to me at just the right time. I need to just lead with heart and quit trying so hard.”
“Thank you for this session! this was very helpful on so many levels!”
“can’t wait to listen to this one again”
“Wow, I learned something new today”
“I feel ready to begin! Very inspiring!”
And you have to watch until the very end to see Mark’s pearl of wisdom that invoked huge belly laughs and lots of LOL’s in the chat.
If you participated in this year’s Right-Brainers in Business Video Summit you most likely experienced the wisdom of one of my guest speakers Mark Silver of Heart of Business. And, if you don’t know Mark yet, you’re in for a treat!
Mark’s work speaks to me at a soul level. He simplifies the nuts and bolts of business in a way that resonates with my right-brain creative and spiritual side, which is why, I think you’ll get a lot from his teachings around Sacred Selling.
On Tuesday, August 21st, you can join Mark and me for a live, interactive video class where we’ll be discussing how you can keep your best clients from slipping through your fingers.
Mark’s Sacred Selling materials have been quite beneficial to my business and we’ll share some real-life examples of how I’ve put his teachings into practice.
Grab your virtual seat for this no-cost live video class on Sacred Selling and learn from one of the most down-to-earth, authentic, and effective teachers that I know.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Next month I’ll be speaking at the Artful Business Conference in Australia, September 5th-6th! If you’re a creative entrepreneur from down-under, it would be so fun to see you there.
And if you’re not able to make it in-person, there’s an option to participate remotely from anywhere in the world via Livestream.
Above is a short interview with the amazing conference creator and host Elle Roberts of The Creative Business Co. I met Elle earlier this year during my Right-Brainers in Business Video Summit and was so struck by her talent for making things happen. She’s certainly a creative entrepreneur to know and learn from! You can find out more about what inspired this conference and how you can participate by watching our video chat.

Last week I did a live video chat with Yael Duncan our licensed Right-Brain Business Plan® facilitator from Cape Town, South Africa! It was so cool to connect with her from across the globe and hear about her personal journey to following her passions. I’m sure you’ll be inspired about how she listened to her intuition.
Yael also gave us a peek at her own RBBP including her Big Vision collage, her Perfect Customer Portraits, and more. We had some tech difficulties mid-stream but Yael was able to pop on from her iPhone – how cool is that? Enjoy!
Catch this inspiring interview with me and author/creative coach Cynthia Morris of Original Impulse for a lively and inspiring discussion on writing and creativity.

Have a dream to write a book? (Come on, I know you do!) Find out Cynthia’s secrets to writing and finishing her book (hint – it’s a combo of left and right-brainess) and how she used her art to help fund many trips to France. Plus Cynthia shows us some peeks into her super innovative and fun artwork for her book launch and her delightful visual journals.
We also discuss a bit about how to move past the inner critic and how to find your authentic voice. All great tips for writers, creative spirits, and right-brain entrepreneurs. You can see the chat log here.
Join me again for a live video chat on August 7th at 12noon PT for a Livestream interview with Right-Brain Business Plan® licensed facilitator Yael Duncan from Capetown, South Africa. It’s going to be fabulous!

This is the only time a facilitated version of this course will be offered in 2012.
I’m looking forward to Chris Guillebeau’s World Domination Summit in Portland this weekend (that’s us at his SF book signing for The $100 Startup – it’s a fantastic read, BTW).
I know I need constant reminders though about how to make the most out of an event whether it’s a jam-packed convention, a local professional networking meeting, or a virtual event from home.
One of the first conferences I attended as a newly minted entrepreneur had about 2,000 attendees (the following year had 3,000!). For this highly sensitive introvert that was quite a shock to the system. I also shared a hotel room to save money but learned very quickly, that for me it’s well worth the extra expense to have a quiet, private sanctuary to slip off to in the middle of the day to recharge. Really, it’s okay if you need to hide under the covers for a bit!
Here are some of my other tips on making events work for you:
- Set an intention. What is the one thing you really want to walk away with from the experience? Is it a certain knowledge or information? A fresh perspective on an issue you’ve been wrestling with? New creative cohorts? Deeper connections with existing friends? Or just to have plenty of rip-roaring fun? Align your decisions and actions around this intention.
- Conscious connection. Make a mental note of who you want to connect with and in what way. For me, I prefer deeper, more intimate conversations than feeling the need to meet as many people as I can. Knowing that helps take the pressure off.
- Practice self-care. Usually when I’ve invested time and money into an event, I make up that I need to “milk it” for all it’s worth and I force myself to cram everything into the schedule. However, that just ends up draining me and I stop retaining anything useful (and I get cranky). So pay attention to what you need and tend to that so you can stay present.
- Shake things up. For example, if you tend to sit in the same place, mix it up after a break. You’ll shift your energy and experience a new perspective. If you’re in a virtual event try interacting in a different way. Are you always providing answers or solutions to other people? Why not ask a question and let yourself simply receive.
- Make learning fun. Take pictures for visual reminders. Draw mind maps of key points. Doodle in your notes. Last year at WDS writer and coach Cynthia Morris documented her conference experience in a colorful illustrated journal (love!)
- And of course just be open. You never know what you’ll learn, who you’re going to hit it off with, or what fun adventure you’ll find yourself in.
- Build in recovery time. Don’t forget to give yourself some cushion after the event to recoup and integrate your learnings.
And check out this series that my creative cohort Jamie Ridler (who I can’t wait to see in Portland) put together after attending WDS last year. There are two posts featuring tips from several guest contributors (including me) on How to Get the Most Out of a Conference When You’re an Introvert or HSP (highly sensitive person) Part 1 and Part 2.
And if you’re heading to WDS, I look forward to seeing you. If they have the hammock lounge again, you can be sure I’ll mozy on over there at some point during the day! I’ve heard from some of you that you’ll be in my Right-Brain Business Plan breakout session on Sunday. I can’t wait to play with you!
Recently I chatted with licensed Right-Brain Business Plan® facilitator Megan Peters of MoKoPo Creations and Inspired Snail, a wonderland of resources for creative entrepreneurs.
Megan exudes positive energy! I know you’ll find her exuberance very contagious. Megan shared with us so many great ideas for running a creative business including a fun show and tell of her business organizing system, the importance of having an accountability buddy, and even how to juggle more than one business. Plus, if you’ve been thinking about getting on Etsy, Megan gives some helpful tips and shares a bit about her journey.
You can access the chat log from the session with Megan Peters here.
If you’re in the Ohio or Kentucky area, join Megan live and in-person for a fun Right-Brain Business Plan® Workshop on Saturday, June 9th. Early-bird rates end on May 26th!
The other week I interviewed my intuitive painting teacher Chris Zydel live on location at her Creative Juices Arts painting studio.
I know you’ll be inspired by this delightful chat about the creative process, how to manage your inner critic, and how to start painting right from your own home! Chris is full of so much wisdom. Plus I share a bit about how the intuitive painting process helped me write my book and grow my business.
You can access the chat log from the session with Chris Zydel here.
Enjoy!
