Rachael Jayne Groover: Is Your Voice Sabotaging You?
Maybe you didn’t know this, but many women are often not taken seriously because of the volume and tone of their voices.
Around 37% of someone’s decision whether to like you and trust you immediately comes from the tone of your voice – not the words!
Inspirational speaker and singer, Rachael Jayne Groover says, “Any woman who wants to make a difference doing what she loves must have a solid awareness of what the tone of her voice is really saying to others.”
Rachael Jayne has dedicated most of her life to understanding the power of a woman’s voice and how to express that so she can be seen and heard in a clear, powerful, AND feminine way.
In the 2nd video in her complimentary video course Rachael Jayne teaches a profound set of practices that will increase your personal presence and vocal power, so you can walk into any room and attract the attention you want.
Just practice one of the exercises she shares in this video and it will make a huge difference to how you are being perceived.
She also helps you to determine your current level of personal presence and magnetism, and how to increase that so you can have a more positive impact on others.
And of course, this video course is complimentary, and not only helps women increase their vocal power and presence, but helps them use the 6 fundamental skills of Feminine Leadership. It’s an amazing series of videos. Check it out!

Are You Immersed in the Strategy of Tragedy?
I listened to a pretty compelling presentation given by a guy on consciousness last week.
One of the things he mentioned that I really appreciated was the idea that most people operate from a Strategy of Tragedy.
Evidence of that is everywhere – especially in the self-help world.
Our minds are all ready to look for the ‘bad,’ ‘work’ on it, pay lots of attention to it.
Ever heard any of these? “It’s The Economy.” “I’m broke.” “She sure has a lot of baggage!” “I’m trying to find and resolve my core issue.” “I have cancer.” “I’m resisting success.”
The strategy is find and identify the Bad, eliminate or resolve it, move on to the next Bad.
But when you get to age 90 and all you’ve focused on was finding the Bad, always hoping to change it, continually looking and trying to eliminate or resolve it…how will it feel to still have the Bad at the forefront of your mind?
I say quit it.
You’ve heard – how many times? – that what you focus on is what you get. It’s true.
You can stand there focusing on and bewailing your flat tire for the next ten years and nothing will change – except that you’ll starve to death standing there by the road! Your Bad is all you can see!
But if you use another way of thinking, you’ll decide that standing there with your face hanging out isn’t the happiest thing you could do, and you’ll either get the tools out and start changing the tire, or drag out your cell phone and call for help.
You’ve now moved – at least partially – into the Happiness Continuum. How far you move into it depends on how much you allow yourself to enjoy the experience.
Why do I call it the Happiness Continuum?
Because that’s how I see it. I see an actual never-ending river of energy – Read the rest of this entry »
Do You Know How to Do the Behind-the-Scenes Setup of Your Teleclasses Quickly and Efficiently?
This is for people who either don’t know how to set up a teleclass or who are looking for a more efficient, time-saving way to do the set-ups.
Big, Simple, No-Frills SALE: one more item:
SET UP and GIVE GREAT TELECLASSES!
A few of you have written to ask if there is a special on my How to Do Teleclasses course.
Well, there wasn’t…but now that you’ve asked…. (It’s usually 99, but you can get it now at 79.97)
If you’re new to giving teleclasses or still feel nervous about giving them, or if each time you do one it seems to take forever to set it up, you’ll love this course.
I created it because when I first started delivering teleclasses 10 years ago, no one taught how to do the behind-the-scenes set-up of teleclasses.
Sure, I could find courses on how to deliver teleclasses, how to develop your voice, how to market teleclasses…but no set-up instructions.
It all seemed so complex, and there were so many must-do things that had to be done all at once! How was I supposed to know what to do or the order in which to do it?
So I just sat down and scratched out an outline, and refined it and refined it – and once I had the system, the time I spent putting together my teleclasses went from a solid three days to a mere 3 hours – if that. You can do that, too, once you have the system down.
Here’s what you get (that, still, no one else teaches):
I’m for Simple.
In internet marketing, we see conformity all the time – one guy comes up with a “formula that works,” and all of a sudden, everyone and his left brother has similarsqueeze pages, opt-in boxes, videos, fancy freebie-giveaways, and so on. It all looks the same after a while!
Well, I object. I like it simple. SIMPLE. So I don’t teach you to make forty freebie videos, fancy websites with fancy graphics or complex opt-in systems. I say make it simple.
Please don’t think that in order to be successful online, you have to create 3 to 5 freebie videos with all kinds of great advice on them, and end up with a super-duper, long, expensive course you promote.
Let the ones who really love to do that do that. If you don’t love to do that, don’t.
Do what YOU love to do. Whether it’s
Sir Ken Robinson: How School Squashes Creativity, Why that’s Bad for the Future & What to Do About It
Recently I watched a couple of TED (TED.com) videos with Sir Ken Robinson.
He talks about how our educational system squashes out kids’ passion and creativity (if you’re creative at all, you know what he’s taling about!).
He says in time, as we go through our educational system, our bodies become “just a means of transport for our heads;” and that as we get older, we are “educated from the waist up…the head up…and one-sided” at that, and as adults, we “endure, rather than enjoy” our lives.
Ouch! Is life really worth living like that? I say it’s time to get “dis-enthralled” with how we were taught and on with being enticed by and enthralled with our gifts, talents and passions! Yeah! Want to see?
Here’s the first one. Go to youtube, because his series is there – watch ‘em all! He’s awesome!
Freebies Are NOT Free!
Do you realize that if you watch 2 freebie 1-hour videos every day, you’re spending 60 hours a month that you could have been investing hours in doing productive, revenue-producing work. Or having fun. Or both.
Want to be really graphic about it? Let’s say your general average fee is 100 bucks an hour. That’s 60 hours x $100 = $6000 you’re spending on ‘free’ videos!
Make sure the videos you’re watching aren’t saying the same-old-same-old stuff in various ways – instead, watch something innovative; stuff that takes you intoyour subject deeper; or that gives you actual step-by-step instructions that will really help you.
How to Create Your Know-Like-Trust Free Teleclass so People Don’t Hang Up on You
Today I was on a teleclass that I had been eagerly anticipating for 2 weeks.
I was enthusiastic about the topic, and was excited to hear what new ideas this person was going to share with us, because she was supposedly an expert, had over 100K on her list, and financially successful. OK, I’m interested….
My excitement started to wane, however, at 8 minutes in when she was still talking about herself, her experience, her list numbers, her income – and then more about how we could get the offer she was going to grace us with at the end, and her phone number, and then more about her education….
By 12 minutes she still hadn’t gotten through her very disjointed and disorganized intro; I started wondering what else I could be doing with my time; I was bored; I hung up.
12 minutes for an intro? What a waste of 10 whole minutes she could have used for more creative, productive speaking! I wondered how many other participants hung up about that time.
Don’t let that happen to you!
HOW to DO a K-L-T TELECLASS RIGHT
When you give a freebie teleclass that is meant to gather new people to your list and build the know-like-trust factor, you want them to:
• listen with all ears
• love your content
• feel helped
• stay to the end and
• walk away from your call saying, “wow, that was great, I want more of that!”
• go to or buy whatever it is you’re offering
Here are a few things you can do to have a really inspiring, successful, know-like-trust freebie teleclass. Read the rest of this entry »
