Are You Missing out on
the Essential Ingredient
Successful, Happy People all Enjoy?

No, it’s not a big bank account – at least not at first. But after you have it, your possibilities for happiness and wealth are unlimited.
Yes, you can develop it with the right know-how and easy-to-follow steps.
It’s deep, honest self-confidence that comes from the inside out. Chances are you’ve always known with a little more confidence you could be, do and have pretty much anything you set your mind to.

Dear Friend:

You know you want more. More excitement, fulfillment, financial prosperity and satisfaction. More time and resources to help yourself and help others. The only way to get it is go for it yourself with confidence, clarity and dedication to your goals.

Do You Tend to
Stop, Start and Stop again
Going for what You want?

Most of the information about increasing your confidence and going for your goals and a more fulfilling life it make it sound easy. The instructions read something like this:

1. Walk up to the edge of a cliff
2. Strap on your wings
3. Say, “I can do it!”
4. Jump off and fly

The missing link in this equation is that if you lack self-confidence chances are you won’t make the leap because you:

Don’t quite trust the “easy instructions” or think they’ll work for you
Procrastinate and say you’ll get around to it later
Feel overwhelmed because you aren’t sure if leaping even makes sense
Spend too much time analyzing your options while others pass you by
Look for every possible way it could go wrong
Are afraid people might judge you if you fail or look silly
Walk up to the edge of the cliff over and over – and never jump

You probably don’t want to jump off the side of a cliff. However, it’s an example of what a lack of confidence does to hurt our chances for a great life and real success.

I used to work for a famous bestselling author and seminar guru who gave advice about business success and going for it. I’ve met and associated with many other speakers and authors, too. Once offstage, behind closed doors, he couldn’t relate to people who lacked confidence. He wanted to empower people but really didn’t quite know how to help a hesitant person become empowered. Especially if that person happened to be a woman.

It’s not his fault – its not any man’s fault. Let’s be honest, girls are raised differently from boys. Most girls are socialized in ways that are less likely to contribute to feeling confident and in charge. Science is proving our brains are wired differently from men’s brains. That shifts our confidence level, too.

If You've felt Torn -
One Day You're Confident and
the next Day Lacking Confidence
- Keep Reading!

Most women are raised to be good wives, mothers, sisters and daughters. Not daring, risk-taking entrepreneurs. We were taught to avoid risks. This brave new world of starting our own businesses and careers is quite new. We are pioneers – especially if you’re age 40 or over.

Many women start and pull back – one day confident and the next day lacking confidence. No one ever said we’d make a great CEO someday. “Should I really go for it?” we ask. The moment we do, it seems like countless reasons to rein it back in pop up. I compare it to driving down a freeway with one foot on the accelerator and the other on the brakes – at the same time. It’s not much fun and it hurts our momentum. As a result, we’re sometimes perceived as being less dedicated.

Here’s an important truth: your business growth and success can’t happen any faster than your personal growth.

I researched what makes women powerful in an attractive, compelling, “want to get to know her” way. Not a pushy, domineering way. And, what makes women come across as powerful is confidence.

You may be 100 percent confident in some facets of your life. This is your comfort zone. But you may be afraid to step out in other areas. You just don’t feel quite like you’ve got it all together. So you try to avoid it reminding yourself how confident you feel when safely in your comfort zone. Once you leave your comfort zone – your confidence disappears. If this sounds like you, read on.

Do You Recognize Yourself
in the Examples Below?

Here are several areas where I’ve discovered women often feel less confident.

Approaching new people in person or on the phone
Shifting the topic of conversation to talk about what you do
Sharing your experience and why you’re good at what you do
Asking questions to find out about how what you do might help people
Asking for the sale
Asking for the money
Asking full price – and not offering a discounted rate
Putting together and/or sending out invoices
Calling and asking for payment if it’s late

Notice a pattern? It’s about approaching people and asking for what you want. If you’ve ever had a tough time asking your husband, boyfriend or partner for what you want for Christmas, your birthday or Valentine’s Day you know what I mean. Even if he gets the hint – what works in your personal life can fail miserably in your business life.

Women excel at other parts of relationships. The examples listed above I’ve heard over and over from people attending my workshops and among my mentoring clients. How great would it be if you felt 100 percent confident even when it’s time to ask for money or talk about yourself?

I love being confident. I’ve traveled around the world and taken business risks. I’ve promoted my message even when the nattering nabobs of negativity said I couldn’t. I’m a published author of a business bestseller. I lost a lot of weight, married the love of my life at 48 and have what I consider a great life. Am I 100 percent fearless? Nope.

I've Learned to
Strap on my Wings and Jump

Believe me I used to live in the trenches of self-doubt. I over-analyzed everything to death before making a move. I could tell you a million reasons why something wouldn’t work. I would stress over the thought of calling a prospective client on the phone, or, asking for a sale. I was afraid of rejection. Then I’d beat myself up for not taking action. It was overwhelming and wasted a tremendous amount of emotional energy. You, too?

It didn’t help that my parents were fear-based people. Good folks, but they always made safe choices. Never push yourself too much. My parents cared about us kids “fitting in” and being like others. Not standing out.

Like most Women
I wasn't Raised to be Confident

I didn’t want to live my life afraid – but I didn’t have the confidence to overcome barriers, either. I wanted a richer, fuller, more prosperous, exciting life. But every time I faced taking a leap and doing something big it felt like diving into a swimming pool and not knowing if there was water at the bottom.

Funny thing is – no one would’ve guessed I was often shaking like a leaf inside. Appearing confident on the outside is great. But it’s not the whole enchilada. Feeling confident inside and projecting it outside in a positive way is amazing.

Do you want to waste more time wishing and hoping you’ll magically reach the point where you’re ready to go for it?

I Finally Woke from My Long Dream

When I told my parents growing up I wanted to be a writer I was told, “That will never happen.” Many times my dreams were dashed or I was put in my place. “A NICE GIRL doesn’t do THAT!” I know what it feels like to have your dreams snatched away before you’ve even gotten started. I had to un-learn all that and you can, too.

One day I finally understood the mysteries to possessing true confidence inside and outside. In my 40s I started applying those secrets in a way that worked for me – a woman. My relationships improved, my cash flow improved, my health and fitness level improved. Everything important in my life got better. Fast.

Now, I’m so excited about my confident, empowered life I want to share my secrets with you. These are the same secrets I’ve shared with thousands in workshops, teleclasses and with elite mentoring clients. I share because I want you to enjoy your own confident, empowered life. There’s enough abundance and good for all of us.

You can’t make positive changes without confidence. My life became more exciting, fun and prosperous. I gained clarity about what I wanted and how to go for it.

Real Confidence comes from Feeling:

Calm and peaceful on the inside – the overwhelmed feelings are gone
Comfortable in your own skin.
At ease about your appearance and the face you show the world.
Effortless handling conversations with grace and warmth
Deserving about asking for what you’re worth in business in a pleasant way
Capable solving problems for yourself and others
You quietly know inside you’re all that and a bag of chips!!

You share with enthusiasm and passion, so people are drawn to you. They want to be around you and share your positive, confident energy. Whether it means buying from you, working with you or another connection that’s a win-win. Improved confidence will make your business, your career and your life better. Confidence to:

Live the life you want without hesitation or feeling overwhelmed
Promote yourself with ease
Share what’s great about you so people are drawn to you
Get your share of financial abundance
Eliminate shyness forever in any situation.
Trust that what you put your heart into will come to fruition
Attract more of all the good you want

Why I Believe I can Help You
Enjoy Greater Confidence

Who am I? I’m the author of business bestseller, “Testosterone-Free Marketing.” It’s a fast, fun read and the only book about helping women, small business owners understand why they tend to hold back from success in marketing and selling and how to have more fun, feel more confident and make a lot more money.

I’m known as “The Marketing Maven” and an “Empowerment Expert.” I help women ask for what they want so customers want to happily say “Yes!” I’ve helped thousands of people be, do and have more in their businesses and their lives.

Since the book was published I’m proud to say it’s become a business bestseller and thousands of readers have told me how much they love it. They asked me to delve even deeper into the challenges they experienced with confidence and how to feel more confident on the inside and outside.

That’s what “Up Your Confidence” is all about.

During my seven and a half years working for top bestselling authors and seminar gurus, I watched people pay thousands of dollars to improve themselves by flying to high-priced weekend seminars. They got motivated and excited – but they didn’t gain much confidence. Why? Because those slick, onstage salesmen always promised the people in the audience they would get it if they just bought the next seminar. When I started my own business I promised myself I’d never do that.

Feeling Empowered is a Good Thing -
