I'm shaking things up a bit today and bringing you meditation. I feel strongly that today's podcast is needed by so many of us, and I'm certain you will like it if you give it a try. Meditation is about relaxation and focus – something we can all use right now. If you've tried meditation before and didn't love it because your mind started wandering, just know that it's completely normal for your mind to wander during meditation. I've provided 25 minutes of non-stop guided meditation, and you can decide if you want to listen all at once or if you'd prefer to break it up and listen in shorter sessions (time stamps provided below).
A Meditation to Release Negativity [6:01]
A Meditation for Grounding [13:27]
A Meditation for Connecting [20:43]
A Meditation for Expanding [26:42]

You will be digging into who your main prospects are, how to be clear on your brand, how to lead with your strengths, how to message who you are, what you do next and more. To reserve your spot visit http://servicenotsalesworkshop.com/ . The same great content and takeaways will be available for April's workshop that was originally taking place in Phoenix (April 23-24), but the workshop will now be virtual rather than in-person. Starting in May, the hope is that the remaining workshops will all be in-person, but we understand your concern given the current situation, and we want to be flexible and understanding (because we are)! As you register for these upcoming events, please be assured that we've instituted more flexible refund and rescheduling options if a workshop cannot proceed as planned (see terms and conditions at checkout for complete details).

As we see more cancellations, travel bans, and other isolation measures, it can leave individuals and businesses feeling stressed and anxious about their health, finances, and future plans. There seems to be such uneasiness and fear of the unknown, that I wanted to record a last-minute podcast episode in addition to our regularly scheduled Tuesday releases.

In today's episode, I'll walk you through how to make empowering decisions and move through this crisis with confidence, regardless of what happens in the weeks and months ahead. I'm also sharing how I'm approaching decisions in my business right now and the impact this pandemic is having on our services and programs.
During this time, I want to extend additional support to anyone who needs it. Right now, our plan is to host free Facebook Lives several times each week.

If you want to rise to the top and be successful, it's crucial that you choose to be innovative instead of emulative and imitative. We are all unique and our special qualities and characteristics will help us stand out among our peers rather than allowing us to blend in. There are so many people who are choosing to imitate others' work and ideas when, in reality, the best way to stand out and rise up is to be unique and innovative.
Things we're covering in this episode:
- Various ways in which most people emulate and imitate instead of innovate
- Learn why more people choose to imitate and emulate - Find out how you can take steps to be innovative
- Discover how being inspired by someone or their ideas or strategies can be different than imitating them
- When your style or voice sounds similar to another professional in your field, learn the best way to handle that situation
