SOCTV Guest this Thursday - REALationship Marketing
Filed Under Energize Your Biz, Workplace, Energized Entrepreneur, Wealth | Leave a Comment
Join us this Thursday, on SOCTV as I will be interviewed on becoming an Executive, REALationship marketing, steps to success and the power of appreciation.
REALationship marketing started out as a typo. Yep, I found I had mis-typed the word relationship at least 3 times. Of course one of the times happened to be on a postcard printing of several hundred postcards. I realized it was a subliminal sign and that’s when I coined the term and made it official. (AND, I didn’t have to trash all those postcards - the old lemon and lemon aide trick.)
REALationship marketing is when you focus on the real relationships in the equation of relationship marketing. Most business-owners are focused on the marketing. When you focus on others and what you can give to them to improve their life, or help them build STEEM, (Save Time, Energy, Effort and Money) instead of what you can get them to do, or what you can get from them; the entire energy is shifted.
Shift your energy in your business and in your marketing to a “give to” versus a “get from” attitude and things will start to shift for you. We all need to become generous givers as well as excellent receivers. You can’t have one without the other, so one is not better than the other - just opposite sides of the same coin. Practice being an excellent receiver and a gracious giver and the next time you are doing a marketing piece, review it for REALationship purposes. Does it attract what you want to attract, are you adding value, are you offering something to make other’s lives better? Remember that everybody is tuned in to the station WIIFM - ‘what’s in it for me’.
Join us as myself and other Executives and Senior Executives are interviewed about our steps to success on SOCTV. To find out more about how to tune in to SOCTV, send me an email Gail@GailHahn.com
To Your FUNomenal Success!

Becoming an Energized Entrepreneur/Executive
Filed Under Energize Your Biz, Energize Your Life, Energized Environment, Workplace, Health, Wealth, Energized Entrepreneur, Well-Being | Leave a Comment
It’s time for some new mojo for 2010. I took a self-battical in the fall to re-energize and revitalize how I wanted to inspire, educate and encourage others to enable their dreams and potential. As a Certified Speaking Professional and Author, it’s easy for me to take the stage or take to the keyboards. Speaking to Fortune 500 Corporations, Associations, Private and Public Organizations for over 13 years with Fun*cilitators has given me many insights into the energy of an organization.
Organizations are made up of people and the organization cannot be revitalized if the people are not energized - from the executives to the employees. Entrepeneurs are the same. For many entrepreneurs, they ARE their business - they are the product or service, so how can any of us serve others if we don’t have it to give out.
If we don’t take care of ourselves and recharge our energy stores, then we can’t give what we don’t have. My years of coaching entrepreneurs in the network marketing industry has taught me over and over again that not only can we not motivate others, we cannot give them energy - both are inside jobs. But we can offer ways to create an energized and motivating environment. We can tap into their WHY, their style, their nature and how they naturally show up for life and then offer systems, tips, tactics, strategies and ways of being that will work with each individual’s preferences. Be it organizational, image, space, right/left brain integration, bio-rhythms and type of work, outcome and lifestyle they desire.
I’ve been creating a series of tele-classes to pin-point the different areas we can energize in our lives so we can revitalize our whole lives by finding the drains, plugging them and then plugging into something greater to lead us to our most fully expressed and energized selves. Energized entrepreneurs and executives effuse energy into their work and their organizations and that is precisely what this economy needs is creative leaders, movers, shakers and thought leaders who have the energy to take others with them. It’s all an upward spiral breeding success.
Announcing the Energized Entrepreneur/Energized Exec tele-class series. I am offering a series of tele-classes throughout the year on topics to energize your work, wealth and well-being. Some classes will be hosted by moi and others will have guest experts from different areas so all aspects of your life from your space, stuff, time, goals, wealth, relationships, health, image, shadow self, marketing,business, and organizational preferences.
Each series is 6 tele-classes over 3 weeks. Each series will cover a variety of the areas mentioned above depending on the guest speakers. Starting dates are in February, details to follow. I will be setting up an Energized Entrepreneur/Exec Facebook group as well.
I will be hosting Energy Escapes - small group revitalization retreats for 2.5 days at a resort in Vegas for a select group of women entrepreneurs and executives to take their lives to the next level and discovering and uncovering your true Energy Identity and how to move through the world with your Energy Elements to be successful and energized in all areas of your life. Limited to 12 members. Specific dates to follow.
I’m offering personal VIP programs (exclusive 2-day personal coaching at a resort in Vegas) for just you or you and a few friends who are serious about getting a total Energy Makeover to improve your work, wealth and well-being. All VIP programs are customized to your needs within the framework of the Energy Identity Program. VIP programs are for individuals or up to 3 of their friends to ensure the most customized attention.
Energized Entrepreneur/Exec Coaching Circle is a 90-day coaching program that includes the tele-class series as well as a monthly group coaching call plus a bonus call for group members. This coaching circle is limited to 8 members.
Call me at 866.Fun.at.Work or email me at Gail@GailHahn.com for more details on these new programs to revitalize lives. I am offering limited-time introductory rates and pay plans on all inaugural programs.
Looking forward to helping your make 2010 a 10!

Are You Having a ‘Worth Quake’?
Filed Under Energize Your Life, Energize Your Biz, Energized Entrepreneur, Wealth, Well-Being | Leave a Comment
I don’t know anybody who isn’t somewhat affected by the economic times, no matter where they live. And it takes courage, foresight, insight, hind-sight and sometimes outta-sight thinking to rise above the noise and keep moving forward to make it better.
In tough times we are being called to cultivate qualities that weren’t there before. Our soul can now develop qualities that couldn’t have unfolded without such times as this. Remember that it takes tons of pressure to make diamonds. We all react differently under pressure - how are you reacting? How are you pro-acting? How are you acting in the face of some large or small adversity?
Yep, we may have to dial things down, take stock, look around for opportunities and then take action. Take massive action. Action is what produces change and I believe it’s us entrepreneurs who are going to get this economy going again. It also adds to your feelings of worth and energizes you when you can do good and do well and help others do the same.
It’s during these times when mind-shifts happen and when we learn the way of making the universe bigger for all is in giving, it’s when we can give thanks for the qualities that have emerged during the pressure. It’s not always fun, welcomed or enjoyed. Sometimes it sucks….badly….. but often our opportunities come disguised as adversity…. how are you going to look at your circumstances and how are you going to change them for the better? And remember that our net worth is not equal to our self worth - we’ve all lost some of our net worth lately and thank goodness we didn’t lose our self worth!

Recession, Schmecession - We’re in Transition, Baby!
Filed Under Energize Your Biz, Energize Your Life, Workplace, Energized Entrepreneur, Wealth, Well-Being | 2 Comments
There are a couple different ways to look at what the economy and most Americans are going through right now - a recession or a transition. I’ve always chosen to see what we can learn from a situation and the more positive outcomes of a not-so-positive- at- first-glance situation.
As my mentor, Million Dollar Wealth Acceleration Coach, David Neagle explained to us one day, it’s merely the winter season in the life of the economy. We’ve had our excesses, our Spring and our harvest and now is merely a time to re-group and transition the way we do our life, the way we do our business in order to thrive. Some won’t make it through the winter and some will thrive as they adapt to it. You can catch a part of his teachings through his complimentary 4-part audio series The Art of Success. It will whet your appetite for more learning on the new way of doing business in today’s economy.
I figure it’s similar to the ‘mid-life crisis’ - you can either look at it as a crisis or as a mid-life metamorphosis and a transition into something different and yes, even better complete with all the wisdom you hopefully gained in the earlier years. So crisis, schmisis, I say let’s look forward to change and transition and making us pay attention and shake things up. It’s a time in your life where you get permission to go crazy, do things out of character, try something new and different, be who you want to be regardless of what anybody else things. Age gives us that permission.
Having moved 26 times in the past 30 years in Europe and the US, I’ve experienced a few transitions. My advice would be to travel light, be flexible, keep an open mind to learning and how to adapt to your new environment. Look around at your new space and only keep what serves you best. If it doesn’t serve who you are currently or who you are becoming, jettison it immediately. The same in business, if it isn’t working, then move on to something new that still stays true to your authentic self and your higher purpose. All the other stuff is just noise and distraction and holding you back.
How are you doing your life differently now? How is your business or marketing changing to fit the new times? How are you thinking differently to adjust? Times have changed and we need to change with them if we expect to embrace the new economy. Cash is still flowing - I see it in Vegas every day. High-end products are still being sold and bought and those with the right perspective and insight will see their way to the next season. Stay tuned for future teleclasses, VIP Sessions and Energy Escapes I’ll be hosting on how to Energize Your Life at Every Level.

You’ve heard me mention Ali Brown, the dynamic woman who is paving a new way for entrepreneurs as our business world changes. Now, after a year of mystery, you have an extraordinary opportunity to hear Ali’s billion-dollar mentor Anne McKevitt on a call TOMORROW.
Want to sign up for this call right now? Register here:
Ali’s generously sharing her mentor with you on this one-time call. Let me tell you a little bit about Anne, and once you hear her about her life and her secrets about how to react to what’s happening in the business world, I know you’ll want to be there.
Anne’s story is nothing less than astounding. Born in Scotland and raised in government housing, she dropped out of school at age 15 and moved to London, landing her first job as a shampoo girl for soon-to-be-famous hair stylist John Frieda. Fast forward to today, Anne lives in Sydney and runs a BILLION dollars’ worth of companies around the globe and is also instrumental in forwarding many women’s issues and environmental causes worldwide.
You’ll hear more about Anne on the call when she shares her story, but what’s most important is that SHE wants to share with you what YOU can do now to achieve your own success and dreams - no matter what level of business you’re currently at or what level you aspire to reach!
On this Wednesday’s call, Ali and Anne will discuss:
*Why it’s critical right now for everyone to REDESIGN their business for this new age, and how to go about it
*Why most business owners actually SABOTAGE their own success - and what you can do to reverse this (Anne coaches multimillionaires on a regular basis and she sees this on all levels)
*Their secrets to MODELING and SYSTEMS - and are these strategies still as relevant now as they were 5 years ago?

Won’t you join me? I know I don’t want to miss this call!

There’s a change in the works for the way we do business in this new economy. The whole person in the spiritual and physical aspects are taking the stage in what matters most professionally and what is most fulfilling personally. Women entrepreneurs have an advocate, change master and inspirational thought leader in Ali Brown. She’s just launched her new magazine for a successful lifestyle called Ali with a tagline of Live Your Good Fortune and is now hosting a soiree in Vegas in early November called Shine.
Here’s an excerpt from her event site. It’s a not-to-miss event if you want to learn from one of the most successful woman millionaires around who has the heart to share what she knows with you:
The evolution is undeniable. Business is changing. The world is changing. Previous income models are failing and fading. Entrepreneurs who have continued to operate as they have previously are finding the same strategies are not working anymore. In fact, they are likely hurting their business.
The good news is it’s your time to Shine. Join one of the most dynamic female entrepreneurs of our generation - Ali Brown - as she hosts a life-shifting experience to uncover the millionaire inside. This unprecedented three-day event in Las Vegas, Nevada, will establish a new standard for entrepreneurs, uniting purpose, passion, and self-discovery along with a strategic plan to build a successful and secure business model that can provide for years to come.
Shine is uniquely designed for both experienced entrepreneurs and new business owners alike. You’ll attain the clarity and certainty you’ve been searching for, and discover exactly what you want, why you want it, and how to get it - to be more fulfilled while you accomplish more than you ever thought possible.

Are Your Working Out of Inspiration or Desperation?
Filed Under Energize Your Biz, Energize Your Life, Workplace, Energized Entrepreneur, Wealth, Well-Being | Leave a Comment
OK, so it’s been so long since I’ve posted during my Self-battical, that I can’t quite remember everything I’d discussed because I’ve been micro-posting on Twitter, Facebook, Linked-in and Plaxo to name a few. So I wasn’t completely out of the loop for 8 months - just taking a breather, taking lots of classes and teleclasses, learning about manifesting, mindset, creating our future, life purpose (very cool stuff on that later) and making a life as well as making a living.
Here’s the thing - if you’re working out of desperation, it drains your energy, wears down your psyche and saps your soul. If you’re only working for the money, it won’t work for you. It’s not fulfilling. Work was never meant to do just for money. Work was something performed so we could fully express whatever it was we needed to fully express and the pay was the by-product of sharing our knowledge, skills, abilities, gifts and talents.
If you’re working out of inspiration, your energy soars, your soul sings, you feel fulfilled and you share your gifts and blessing with the world and give value and in return you get value back in many different forms. Yes, that includes money.
Money is currency and currency is energy so when you give out lots of energy, you receive it back, because energy never goes away, it just changes form.
I’ve found I need to be working out of inspiration and have chosen to allign myself with companies that inspire me and that offer a way to make a living through GIVING vs. GETTING. That’s why my heart work (not hard work) is through www.BizBuilderCards.com because I get to do my art, be creative and fully express my message and feelings to make people’s days and help make their dreams come true. That’s also why I chose to partner with the new company iJango because it can really transform people’s lives and the way they operate every single day. It can also help them find financial freedom and allow them to fully express themselves without having to worry about enough money.
These companies are ways of making a living through giving and I also talk about that in my keynotes and training programs with Fun*cilitators and my work with The Energized Entrepreneur/Energized Exec programs. It’s about giving of ourselves, giving our inspired energy and giving value, then let the energy flow back as it may.
Are you working out of inspiration or desperation? What would it take to be inspired? What would need to change for you to be living an inspired life?

Self-batticals and the Art of Self Care
Filed Under Energized Entrepreneur, Well-Being | Leave a Comment
I consider self-batticals, no matter how short, a requirement in today’s hectic society. A self-battical is a sabattical for the self, for the soul and is a necessary ingredient to regroup, recharge, reconnect with our spirits, refresh, renew and regenerate who we are.
A self-battical can be a holiday or a holimoment - a bubble bath, Jacuzzi soak, pedicure, facial, walk on the beach, deep breathing, looking at photos, listening to music, port wine and dark chocolate, snuggling up with a book or playing with your dog to relieve some stress.
If you need more than a moment, consider a spa day, a girlfriend getaway, or a solo travel adventure over a weekend or a week of new discoveries. One neighbor says she’s decided to take every Friday off to do something for herself and do whatever she darn well pleases. Another friend does one thing per month for herself in the self-care department. A girlfriend and I recently took ourselves to a world-class spa for the day to relish the serenity of it all. Many will allow you to purchase day passes along with a purcahse of just one treatment.
After spending the day in pure luxury, we rented some chick flicks and watched movies all night eating premium ice cream with Grand Marnier fudge sauce. Indulgent, yep. Decadent, you betcha. Absolutely soul satisfying, you better believe it. We both knew it was something we both indisputably needed.
I’ve made a choice to do at least one big adventurous thing per year to stretch my limits (solo safaries with the Massai, Outward Bound 30-day survival course, sky diving over the Rockies, parasailing in Mexico, bungee jumping in France, rock climbing in Germany, hang gliding in Austria, camel riding in Kenya, Bamboo rafting in Thailand and trekking in Nepal to name a few.) I also choose to take at least Monday mornings and Friday afternoons off to treat myself to whatever I need in the moment (a nap, massage, catching up with girlfriends, sewing, creative play, biking, cooking, sailing or kayaking etc.) I’m practicing on extending the non-work time to the entire days of Mondays and Fridays to be a better balanced me.
I find we can be our best selves when our plates are not so full. We don’t need to fill every spare moment with work or productivity. I made a decision when I moved to California that my new motto would be “no rushing and less stress”. I’ve seen the softer side of me on the west coast. Maybe it comes with age - nothing to prove, a little more freedom of choice of how to live my life and in no big hurry - it’s an easier life. I fee freedom to be able to choose how I get to spend my day each morning.
For those who think self care is selfish . . . you can’t be of service to anybody else if you’re sick, weak, stressed-out or on your last nerve. It’s all about being the best self you can be for the world. Doesn’t the world deserve your best self - it’s selfish to not take care of you. Guard your energy fiercly, so you will have it to give to others and to your causes when they need you.
What kind of Self-battical or holimoment will you take this week, this day or this month to energize yourself? Now excuse me, it’s time for a doggie walk. . . .

Edit, Add, Appreciate, Energize
Filed Under Workplace, Energized Environment, Health, Whatever, Energized Entrepreneur, Well-Being | Leave a Comment
Sunday evenings seem to be a time to get revved up for the coming week. It’s at this time when I tend to think about these 3 simple things that will energize me for the coming week - moving me forward in creating the life I want to lead.
- Edit: What can I edit from my life this week? A material object, thoughts, habits, behaviors, people, work or activities that don’t serve me well any more. It could be an article of clothing, a negative perception, a food, an annoying or sniggly trait. Let it go and move on to greener pastures. What is holding you back or what is causing your stress that you need to edit? Where are your bottlenecks or frustrations? Do you have excesses in your life that you need to edit or dial down? How about unfettered consumerism, debt, or unbridled shopping or retail therapy that is out of control. Edit your perspective on your point of enoughness, your needs and wants.
- After all my moves, I’ve realized you can’t just edit once and be done with it for material things. Life changes and your needs, wants and priorities change. That’s why I keep going back to re-edit and simplify. Pare down to the essence of what it is that creates joy and happiness in your life and edit out the clutter - internal or external clutter.
- Add: What can I add to my life that will bring me more joy, happiness, energy, health, wealth or whatever. Reinvent one thing such as perceptions, creations, activities, objects, recipes, people, business contacts, a route to work or walk, a new friend, new music or a new book. How about adding new beliefs or trading some of the old beliefs that may not be true to you now for what works for you as an adult. Take inventory of what your parents taught you that worked when you were 8 or 18, but not when you’re 48. Times have changed and our thought processes and perhaps some beliefs should change as well. Our beliefs rule our behaviors and our results. What can you add or edit in that area? What might be missing in your life that you’d like to add for a fuller, richer experience on Earth?
- Appreciate: What or who needs more appreciating this week? More fully appreciate someone or something and say your gratitude out loud or to yourself for these things. Act on your promptings. Send a card right now to somebody who needs to hear from you: send me an email and I’ll show you how to send a free card at Gail@BizBuilderCards.com. The more you do it, the more it gets ingrained into your brain. Do this one on a daily basis for even more impact than weekly and this can become a new habit that you add which adds to other people’s lives. Appreciate your surroundings, show your acknowledgement to those who serve you, rejoice in your beautiful environment. If it’s not so beautiful - add to it or edit to make it so. Who needs to hear from you today or who needs appreciating?
