- Is it time to call it quits? - by Submitted on Nov 17, 2015 from Jeanna GabelliniHave you ever stayed in a job, relationship or living situation for too long? I mean, you knew it was not your ideal situation and you stayed because you thought you could either make it work or you were too lazy or scared to move on. Is that a bad thing? Not really. But you may experience ...
Views: 2005 - Is the Stuff You're Doing Working? - by Submitted on Apr 29, 2013 from Jeanna GabelliniA majority of mankind bumbles through life doing things they think are good for them. But most never ask a simple question, "Is this action or behavior getting me the results I most desire?" And it's no different if you're a business owner. You get in a habit - some might call it a rut - ...
Views: 1318 - Is Your Story Working for You? - by Submitted on Jul 26, 2012 from Jeanna GabelliniWe’ve all got limiting beliefs. You know some of them. Others you don’t. You may have gone to personal growth workshops and thought you discovered them all. I’m sure you didn’t. Do I have a limiting belief about you not knowing all of your limiting beliefs? Yep. It’s all a story. ...
Views: 1836 - It Takes More Than Marketing to Attract Big Bucks - by Submitted on Oct 16, 2011 from Jeanna GabelliniI used to HATE marketing. In fact, I used to use four letter words in front of the word "marketing" when I thought about doing it. I just wanted coaching clients, why did I have to do this torturous act? So, I stopped marketing. My joy raised and my stress went down, down, down. My epiphany ...
Views: 1315 - It's You or Them but Somebody Needs to Fix It - by Submitted on Jan 08, 2012 from Jeanna GabelliniIf you’ve ever had an issue getting rockstar results from the people you hire or partner with, you’re not alone. They show up late, miss deadlines, fall off the grid with no communication and do subpar work. Even some of the decent team players have their moments where they fall down on the job ...
Views: 1397 - Judgment & Alignment: Business Lessons from the Court Room - by Submitted on Feb 14, 2012 from Jeanna GabelliniI’ve always heard that jury duty in the U.S. is an interesting experience. Interesting in a good way. I thought I’d enjoy it, but I never wanted to do it since I’ve owned my own business. I have a very delicately balanced schedule between work and kids. If I unexpectedly had to leave for a week ...
Views: 1568 - Just Focus on the Money - by Submitted on Feb 12, 2011 from Jeanna GabelliniMy two year-old son, Lucky, loves going to the park. Lately, we go to a park darn near every day that the weather permits. No matter how many times we go it’s always the same routine: • Head straight toward the slide • Find and pick up big sticks • Throw a ball if we brought one ...
Views: 1208 - Leadership Skills Are Critical to Profits (For solopreneurs, too!) - by Submitted on Mar 26, 2013 from Jeanna GabelliniRegardless of what you think, you need to be a leader. That means everyone: solopreneurs and employees, too. And no matter what stage you find your business in, start thinking of yourself as a leader if you want to see increased profits. Each of you is a 'leader of self;' the leader of your ...
Views: 1606 - Learning Curve - by Submitted on Sep 06, 2013 from Jeanna GabelliniSir Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” I agree that acquiring new information can help you sift through the many choices in life and make wise ones. I also happen to think that the quest for knowledge can be a big stumbling block to success. If you have ever thought that you need more ...
Views: 1492 - Lessons From Skydiving - by Submitted on Mar 11, 2014 from Jeanna GabelliniAll it took was asking my Uncle Jim once and he said yes to skydiving with me. He said he'd wanted to do it since I did my first jump. The day gave us beautiful, clear skies and no wind. He chose to do a tandem skydive so he could be harnessed onto an instructor who wears the parachute. I ...
Views: 1157 - Long Run Abundance - by Submitted on Feb 09, 2016 from Jeanna GabelliniMy business has taught me a lot about abundance. For instance as we've all heard, even if you don't own your own business you need to outsource the tasks that aren't your strength or are time hogs. This allows you to do what you do best and therefore attract more money. But sometimes it can ...
Views: 1641 - Make Crazy Requests & You'll Get Crazy Good Results - by Submitted on Jun 18, 2013 from Jeanna GabelliniIt's fascinating how some people have no problems asking for what they want, while it doesn't occur to others to even ask. I watch the phenomenon show up in my classes all the time. People pay good money to get coached in a group program, where I promise that everyone will get coached, and then ...
Views: 1312 - Maximize the Results of Every Action You Take - by Submitted on Mar 29, 2016 from Jeanna GabelliniMost of us are running around with a long to-do list in our heads. Maybe you’re organized and have written yours down on paper or your computer. Action is important because without it, nothing would happen. But… are you leveraging your actions for maximum results? Even the most ...
Views: 1641 - More Alive Than Ever - by Submitted on Aug 11, 2015 from Jeanna GabelliniI love a good game of “Truth or Dare.” It’s scary and yet thrilling. Daring my clients to do something they want, but are scared to do is a common practice. Sometimes, all you need is someone to ask you to step up to the plate, and you will. You need a little nudge … somebody to care enough ...
Views: 1261 - New Strategy Phobia - by Submitted on Jun 17, 2014 from Jeanna GabelliniWhen I want something, I immediately go into action to get what I want. I don’t do a bunch of research. I’m inspired and excited so I get my rear in gear. This is not always the best way to be when choosing a new financial investment or choosing new strategies to build a business. I’ve been ...
Views: 1310 - No More Rigidity About Revenue Goals - by Submitted on Jul 28, 2015 from Jeanna GabelliniWhat happens in Greece is not staying in Greece. I’m back in the States after a week-long vacation with some of my dearest friends who also happen to be mastermind and joint venture partners. In between touring Athens and Delphi we sat around a huge villa overlooking the sea while we ...
Views: 1276 - Overwhelm is a Choice - by Submitted on Jun 13, 2011 from Jeanna GabelliniWhen your head spins with To-Do lists, your In Box is overflowing and your desk is cluttered with stuff that needs to be handled it can trigger a feeling that is anything but empowering. Cocktail, anyone? Feeling overwhelmed by your work and life is a fast way to kill your emotional ...
Views: 803 - Overwhelm is just a Symptom - by Submitted on Sep 22, 2015 from Jeanna GabelliniFor more than a few years, I’ve been a slave to email. I was very aware of it and sought help. I got some relief, but email still felt like it was cracking its whip on me. By the way, if you’ve got the email thing down, I don’t want to hear about all the different strategies I can use to ...
Views: 1436 - Partnering For Profit - by Submitted on Mar 25, 2014 from Jeanna GabelliniDoing almost anything, besides meditating, is easier when you have two or more of the right people. So, why aren't more people asking for help in their business or creating joint venture relationships? Doing it alone is the trap of a self-employed mentality. Leveraging the resources, skills ...
Views: 1012 - Partnerships That Double Your Sales and Fun - by Submitted on Mar 03, 2015 from Jeanna Gabellini“Build it and they will come.” What a crock! Total lie. I built a lot of things in my business that didn’t result in customers running to buy, readers commenting on my blog or even fans “liking” my Facebook page. Finally it dawned on me that I needed help getting the word out to my ...
Views: 1289 - Peace is the Way - by Submitted on Aug 05, 2014 from Jeanna GabelliniI’ve had several BIG aha moments in my life, but the biggest transformation has come from a single focus … peace. You’d think that with a business name like MasterPeace Coaching my focus would always be about being at peace. Not so. I get caught in the same traps as everyone else when it ...
Views: 1263 - Plan for Profits - by Submitted on Sep 30, 2014 from Jeanna GabelliniHave you ever scurried around looking for your sunglasses only to find them on your head? Why didn’t you know they were there? Most likely you were rushing, not really taking your time to think it through. Believe it or not, it’s like that with money. You scurry around, trying to ...
Views: 1405 - Play Your Position - by Submitted on Sep 09, 2014 from Jeanna GabelliniI’m a huge fan of American Idol. Some of the feedback from the judges is very uncoach-like and disempowering. However, they emphasize several points that I love, over and over to the contestants: * Play to win. Act like you want to beat the competition. * Be consistent with who you are ...
Views: 1261 - Powwow to Get New Clients Fast - by Submitted on Jan 28, 2014 from Jeanna GabelliniWhen you reach for the panic button every time you think about money ... pause. This is not the time to contemplate getting a job. Don't go to your nearest friend or call mom for soothing. Stay away from consulting your team members and spouse, too. And for goodness sake, don't leak your worries ...
Views: 1162 - Practices for a Peace-Filled Business - by Submitted on Jul 07, 2015 from Jeanna GabelliniIn the last week alone, I’ve heard these statements from business owners: * I feel like a 1/2 ton of rocks are piled on my head by day's end. I need an intervention. * My customers act like their hair is on fire and it’s my job to put it out. * I have a million excuses for why I’m ...
Views: 1669 - Pro or Amateur? - by Submitted on Oct 28, 2014 from Jeanna GabelliniYou have two choices in your business … be a pro or be an amateur. Professionals (pros) are people who take their hobby, sport or passion seriously. They’ve decided they’re no longer satisfied with being an amateur. They want the challenge and fulfillment of fully living into their ...
Views: 1406 - Questions that Lead to Massive Profits - by Submitted on Apr 21, 2015 from Jeanna GabelliniAs a business owner and leader, you may think you’re always focused on attracting new income. But often, you’re more focused on putting out fires, figuring out what went wrong with your latest biz building technique and searching for clarity on what’s next. What if each of your questions about ...
Views: 1200 - Releasing Business Shame - by Submitted on Feb 10, 2015 from Jeanna GabelliniWhenever you want to experience a huge breakthrough in your business, you have to start where you are.

Views: 1378 - Run A Guilt-Free Business - by Submitted on Jun 24, 2014 from Jeanna GabelliniThere is a dark side to every positive personality trait. You may not even notice that you’ve gone out of balance with a value, even when it’s causing great pain in your life. I have high standards of integrity, especially when it comes to business. In the past, if I witnessed someone being ...
Views: 1113 - Shut the Back Door - by Submitted on Oct 08, 2013 from Jeanna GabelliniDo you want to know the single best way to pump your profits and skyrocket your success? (Wow!

Views: 1194 - Stop Living on the Breadcrumbs Leftover After Expenses - by Submitted on Feb 14, 2012 from Jeanna GabelliniI’m very clear that the way I pay myself each month would not be endorsed by your bookkeeper or accountant. It’s just unorthodox (I’ll say more about this later). But then again, the way most solopreneurs pay themselves is by seeing what is leftover after paying all of their expenses. What ...
Views: 1424 - Strategy Spin Cycle - by Submitted on Apr 07, 2011 from Jeanna GabelliniMen aren’t the only ones who like to fix the problem and dive straight into the solution. When it comes to business, sooner or later we all fall into the trap of searching for the formula that will fix our latest crisis fast. On the other hand, there can be the problem of so many solutions ...

Views: 1102 - SYNC UP! - by Submitted on Mar 23, 2016 from Jeanna GabelliniHave you ever been told that you’re not a team player or not a good communicator when you think you are?

Views: 1365 - Take the Step to Double Your Growth - by Submitted on Jul 12, 2012 from Jeanna GabelliniI’ve been pondering what it takes to double your business growth in a year. I’ve tripled my revenue in one year and doubled it another, using a very simple plan. I began by relaxing and letting go of control. Then I came up with a few practices and action steps. But as I think about how to ...
Views: 1317 - Tap Into Your Genius… and Go BIG - by Submitted on Feb 02, 2016 from Jeanna GabelliniYou're a genius at many things. Most of the time, the things that are your pure genius are not even in your awareness. They slip right past your consciousness as you try to be genius at getting your business known and increasing your profits. I've always thought it was strange how people got ...
Views: 1684 - The 'Double A Strategy' for Making Money From Your Business (and other sources!) - by Submitted on Nov 27, 2012 from Jeanna GabelliniI'm often asked how I doubled, or tripled, my income in a short amount of time. My answer is usually so simple that it often doesn't make a lasting impression upon those who hear the answer. They go back into their business and sift through all the other strategies they've heard will grow ...
Views: 1196 - The Almighty Follow-Up - by Submitted on Jun 25, 2015 from Jeanna GabelliniI used to think follow-up was something you were “supposed to do” after you got a lead at a networking group. (Cut me some slack, okay? When I first started my coaching business in 1996 I’d never been on the internet and had to learn about email!) Follow-up felt like a chore. Not anymore! I ...
Views: 1237 - The Biggest Mistake Business Owners Make - by Submitted on Dec 28, 2011 from Jeanna GabelliniOne of the first things you are told as a business owner is that you must have a business plan. I agree. I’m a fan of long-term and right now plans. But that doesn’t guarantee you profits or growth. Many people file that puppy in a drawer or stash it in the depths of their computer. Then it’s ...
Views: 1324 - THE BUSINESS OWNER MYTH - by Submitted on Aug 26, 2014 from Jeanna GabelliniAs a business owner you may experience some or all of these thoughts throughout the week … * It’s a lot of work. * It’ll be overwhelming and my life will get out of control. * I don’t know how. * Employees are a hassle. * The way it is now is good enough. * The bigger ...
Views: 1118 - The Dreaded Time Buffer - by Submitted on Sep 23, 2011 from Jeanna GabelliniIf you know anything about the Law of Attraction, this is the one thing that is forgotten so easily. There is a delay in time, quite often, from the time you decide what you’d like to manifest until the time you experience the evidence that the Universe is about to deliver your goods. Now ...
Views: 1439 - The Manifestation is right in Front of Your Nose - by Submitted on Sep 24, 2011 from Jeanna GabelliniHave you ever been hell bent on figuring something out or getting something important done only to bump into a brick wall?

Views: 1550 - The Money Blues - by Submitted on Jun 01, 2011 from Jeanna GabelliniAt some point in your life you’ve felt down, probably more than once. Somebody you cared about may have had a misfortune, your heart was broken, a health issue stopped you cold in your tracks or you had a financial disaster. Nobody is immune to feeling blue. But the problem is when you get ...
Views: 1268 - The ONE Next Step - by Submitted on May 24, 2012 from Jeanna GabelliniIf you’d like to get a big juicy project moving forward and have a great time doing it, today is your lucky day. Your first step is to bring to mind that project that sits incomplete but nagging the corners of your mind daily. Or maybe it’s the project you know you should begin but it feels ...
Views: 1351 - The One Percent Rule that can Make or Break your Entire Business Model - by Submitted on Nov 10, 2015 from Jeanna GabelliniBusiness owners have three modes they gravitate toward: A.

Overwhelm (which can manifest as stress, denial, checking out, boredom) Sure, there are some other modes, but these are where you’ll tend to play the most. No mode is ...
Views: 1415 - The Pause - by Submitted on Dec 15, 2015 from Jeanna GabelliniHesitation. It's a daily occurrence and yet you may not even know it's happening. Hesitation is a pause. A doubt. A question. Is it fear or your Inner Guidance speaking? If you pay attention to that gut feeling of hesitancy, you'll gain clarity on which action steps to take to be a ...
Views: 1442 - The Power of Educating Your Customers - by Submitted on Oct 24, 2011 from Jeanna GabelliniSome people just don’t get it. You watch them and internally you roll your eyes, throw up your hands and get exasperated. Unfortunately, some of those people are your current customers. There is only one way to whip them into shape…okay, I’m kidding. Put down the whip. You have to educate ...
Views: 1239 - The Real Way to Sell Your Stuff - by Submitted on Oct 21, 2014 from Jeanna GabelliniI used to hate planning. Why plan, when you can just get into action? Fortunately, and unfortunately, playing that way got me to six figures in my business. I kept doing my business the only way I’d practiced up to that point… * Get an inspired idea. * Throw it out to my tribe. ...
