1. Be curious.
Do everything you can to understand the
people who influence your success. Ask
them about their challenges, dreams, what
makes them happy. Then just listen and
say, “Tell me more” to spark deep and
productive conversations.
2. Know your value.
Crisply articulate who you are and what you
can contribute in a way that tells those in
your sphere of influence why you are the
solution. Before you start talking, know your
audience so that you don’t sell them, but
serve their needs.
3. Get on a mission.
We are all here for a true purpose. Why are
you here? If you don’t know, others will
define you and you could end up on the
wrong path. Take time to consider and live
by your mission and you’ll enjoy a
passionate, prosperous life.

4. Score face time.
If you want to make meaningful contacts,
nothing beats actually (not virtually) being
in the room. Leaving your family and being
frisked by airport security isn’t fun. But, the
opportunities are out there, not over email,
Skype or on a cold call.
5. Travel for inspiration.
The best way to stay interested and have an
interesting life is to travel. You’ll bond with
the people you love, make unforgettable
memories and get energized for what’s
next. Travel isn’t about going away; it’s
about finding you.
6. Stay positive and play fair.
If you’re a tough cookie, take a look at
yourself before you crumble! Being jealous
and spewing venom about your co-workers
won’t help you to be seen as a leader.
Worker bees that play martyr will also be
passed over for promotions.
7. Look the part.
Let’s face it, you’re branded the minute you
walk through the door. In any business
situation, appearances count big time. In
fact, research shows that 65% of
communication is visual, so if you are not
looking the part you play with your own
creative flair, you are running the risk of
being forgettable.
8. Celebrate yourself.
When you get caught up in failure or
drama, throw yourself a party. Invite the
people in your life that are uplifting. The
surprise will not be how much those
present love you—the surprise will be
remembering how much you love yourself

9. Block time for big projects.
Stop putting off what you really want to do.
The space to do great work will never find
you; you have to carve it out and be
protective of it. Go to a local bed &
breakfast or simply turn off your phone. If
you want to get it done, get away!
10. Invest in your success.
Today having a business coach is more
common than having a therapist. You’re
fooling yourself if you think you can get to
the top alone. We all need an anchor in
rough seas. Take a workshop, hire a vocal
trainer, fitness guru, get a stylist… whatever
you need to look sharp and remain relevant.
11. Recruit brand cheerleaders.
Solidify the support of mentors, sponsors,
colleagues, friends, and other professionals
you admire (or as I fondly call them, brand
cheerleaders) to open doors, sing your
praises and put your hat in the ring for new
opportunities.
12. Work smart, not hard.
To be seen as a courageous leader and
achieve staying power, let go and stop
trying to fix, enable and control everyone
and everything around you. Delegate the
small stuff and when you don’t know the
answer, find someone who does.

13. Get your swagger on.
You’ve got moves no one has seen yet.
When you walk into a room, own it and
convey your message with confidence.
Nonverbally tell your audience, “Pay
attention, what I have to say matters.” And
they will.
14. Leave a bad situation.
Change can be terrifying, especially when
money and security are on the line, but
what you do for a living shouldn’t be
something you simply tolerate. If you’re not
in a situation that inspires you to reach
your highest potential, get out.
15. Strike while the iron is hot.
Within 24 hours of leaving a meeting or
getting off a conference call, follow-up with
an email and anything you promised to
deliver. I’ve won so many projects because I
followed through while my competition
dropped the ball.
16. Be a closer.
Don’t second-guess your client or boss. Step
confidently up to the plate, grasp the bat
and set your sights clearly and firmly. Then
swing for the fences. If you strike out, keep
refining your game until you get to “yes.”
17. Tell your greatest story.
When interviewing or networking, shape
perception by sharing a killer signature
story—one where you triumphed in a
challenging situation. If your story reveals
your true character and demonstrates that
you believe in yourself, you’ll make a
believer of others.

18. Amplify your voice.
Make sure that your website, LinkedIn
profile, Twitter presence and other social
media reflect your authentic voice and your
authority or mastery of your area of
business. Write blogs, curate quotes, re-
tweet people you admire. In no time, you’ll
be seen as influential.
19. Become a specialist.
The linchpin of a successful personal brand
is your area of expertise. Being a generalist
is old news. Zero in on your specialty and
you will find clients who need your unique
skills or a position that requires your special
talent.
20. Compromise a little.
Digging in your heels is rarely the answer.
Collaboration and compromise costs you
very little and can pay off handsomely. It is
not about scarcity, it’s about abundance—
everyone getting something they really
need vs. what they want.
21. Give yourself a break.
Doing your absolute best is one thing;
perfectionism is quite another and can
often be a barrier to moving up or ahead.
Put your do-it-right energy into the things
that matter and let everything else be “good
enough.”
