Great Music Inspires Upward Action

by wecare on December 21, 2008

Good Sunday Everyone!

WARNING … this is a purely personal post meant to inspire your upward action …

Today, I’ve been working on a brand new Social Media and Professional Branding mastermind group for entrepreneurial lawyers, consultants and speakers while listening to great music.   I just took a break to find new music to inspire the 2nd phrase of this project creation and I ran across a couple of TERRIFIC music mixes from one of my favorite mentors, Ali Brown.   They are so good, I feel compelled to share!

I hope you enjoy as much as I plan to! :-)   Feel free to leave a comment letting me know what you think!

Prepare for SUPERNATURAL Success and EXPECT it!

Coach T.C. Coleman

PS - I’m continuously working on my personal tag line for 2009.  I’m feeling much more powerful energy from “supernatural” than I did “outrageous”! :-)

A Gift of Favorite Resources

by wecare on December 1, 2008

Greetings InspirebyAction Readers!

This is a great time of the year to focus on attracting OUTRAGEOUS SUCCESS in 2009!  At UpwardAction, we have finished our 2009 Strategic Plan and are in the process of making several special offers to help our clients experience accelerated and outrageous success in the new year!

During the process of corresponding with clients as we developed our 2009 Strategic Plan & Programs, I was often asked about our favorite business resources.   Tonight, I got another question about the resources we’ve used at UpwardAction to grow our business and maintain our accelerated levels of success.    So … I followed my own advice to clients and updated our UpwardAction Resource Page.

When I tweeted about the updated version of our page, a fellow Twitterer (okay … I’ve been properly reminded … several of my Tweeple) suggested I open the list so others could add their favorite resources.   What a fabulous suggestion!

At UpwardAction, we have the honor and privilege of interacting with tons of smart and savvy lawyers, high-level professionals and entrepreneurs through our programs, blogs and social media activities. And, I certainly appreciate the collective wisdom of our UpwardAction clients, InspirebyAction readers and Twitter friends.

So, thanks to the wisdom of Twitterland, this “Gift of Favorite Resources” post was created to gather and share the best business resources for lawyers, high-level professionals and entrepreneurs from our clients and friends.   I invite you to leave a comment with your most useful resources.

I am certainly excited about the wisdom and wonderful resources that will be shared here!

Expect Outrageous Success!
