The Influence Factor and Unintended Consequences: Why some Selfishness is Critical
I wrote a blog about Influence and quoted Chris Brogran and stumbled upon it today. As I read it I realized I recently learned this lesson the hard way. Brian Tracy talks about the “Law of Unintended Consequences.” As a coach leading other coaches I completely backed away from all my own networking. My intention, my goal in doing so, was to allow them to step into the light, to grow and be seen. I truly thought I was doing something good. But my unintended consequence was that I was no longer relevant, my tribe thought I no longer...
read moreThe Influence Factor and Sunshine
Today is the first sunny warm day in my neighborhood. The birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing, the music is playing, windows and doors are open,and everyone has on a pair of shorts! It seems like the world is overflowing with influential energy! Everyone is enjoying their lives and the people and things around them. Isn’t that a huge part of what the influence factor is about?

read moreWriting and Limiting Beliefs: Ann’s Personal Story
For years as an international speaker I have had colleagues, participants in my classes and presentations, family, friends and even publishers tell me I have a book or two I should write. I have continuously said: “I’m a speaker, not a writer.” Seth Godin called me out on that limiting belief! He said that no one says they have talkers’ block; they just say they have writers’ block. Anyone can talk out what they want to become their published book. Heck, that is how I wrote this blog post! Recently, a great friend...

In a recent blog post on social media and ROI, Candace Davenport of Our Little Books asked some fabulous questions: “Is there a point where it is better to use someone like a VA to do your SM stuff (not exclusively of course, but the main postings that don’t actually require direct connection) and do you use someone like Jan to do so? It would seem, if people start having numerous pages that at a point, either SM takes over or the quality goes down. Maybe future blog posts?” I absolutely believe that there are ways to manage...

read moreBusiness Partnerships and the Small Business Owner: New Revenue Idea
Partnership is one of my BIGGEST business goals, in this video I talk about what partnership is and means to me: Several years ago I partnered Adryenn Ashley to make a CD series about Social Media. We created a workbook, 6 CD’s and a bonus DVD with tools we love. Each of us were able to sell it separately in our business, to use it as a gift, a prize at events, or to package with other offers. Individually, we incurred the profits and costs associated with doing so. Here is why this created such win/win: every time I sold one my...
