Last week I had the opportunity to hang out with my mastermind buddies and my business coach, Suzanne Evans.
Sharing three intensive days at Suzanne’s office was an experience like none I have ever had. A definite high energy, “first class all the way” major connecting experience for everyone there.
GREAT CHOICE
Not a moment passed that I didn’t realize how fortunate I am to have decided to take the leap of faith to invest nearly $50,000 this year alone to be trained by the very best.
The other multiple six and seven figure business owners felt the same about their decision to work with Suzanne. How do I know?
From the conversations during the three day intensive and those since then, we are all taking things to the next level and beyond.
But it’s not just Suzanne’s energy and brainpower that made it such an incredible experience. It’s was hanging out with each other.
What I love most about my mastermind buddies is that we are all movers and shakers.
IT TAKES MASSIVE ACTION
We take massive action to achieve incredible outcomes. Yet, as Suzanne shared, there are those who will pay a coach, mentor or adviser and then not do a darned thing with the information.
I know this to be true because I have talked to countless men and women who invest in programs, classes, mentors and coaches and continue to do things their way.
Personally, this makes no sense at all. Why would we invest the money, time and effort we do with a mentor and not listen? Or invest in programs we never even look at? Or go to a seminar and leave without implementing one single thing we learned?
Yet, there are plenty of people who do. Actually, the majority of people do this. And then they wonder why success is passing them by and call others who are succeeding lucky.
For me, I have a mentor/coach to take me beyond where I am at. If I keep doing things the way I have always done them, nothing is going to change.
When I have my sessions with Suzanne we address important areas that I MUST be willing to put time and energy into. Otherwise, why the heck am I asking for her guidance if I insist on doing things my way?
I remember my first one-on-one, in person session with Suzanne like it was yesterday. It was July, 2012.
LIFE WAS PRETTY TOUGH, BUT THAT’S NO EXCUSE
I had had a rough three years due to the loss of both parents, our Boxer dog and our goat. Yet, my business continued to grow.
In spite of the growth, I felt stuck. This is when my partner and I decided to make some major changes in how we are running our business.
Karen and I headed out for a 15 hour travel day (by air) from Oregon to Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.
By the time we finished our first strategy day with Suzanne I knew I had made the most incredible business decision EVER!
THE WORK HAS JUST BEGUN
Yet, I knew there was a ton of work to be done if I was to get the value from my time and money invested. I also knew I would be investing very heavily into my business. After all, if I am serious about what I say I want I better be willing to do what it takes.

Hey Kathleen, I love your new site. It is so you. I just want to say that as a member of your Platinum Program I have learned so much from you. You are my business guiding light and have helped me go to the next level of my nutrition business: a new polished website, my coaching programs, completing and publishing my book, Eat Healthy. Be Healthy at Any Age, and helping me develop the confidence to speak out about our food related health crisis.
I made the right decision hiring you. I can’t imagine what I would be doing now without you. Thanks again.
Eat Healthy. Be Healthy.

Congratulations on your new site. It so clean and fresh and represents you very well. I also want to thank you for your generosity, caring heart, and wealth of knowledge and experience. You have helped me so much in finding my own voice and encouraged me to express it.
Thanks for the feedback Carol. And you are most welcome. 🙂
Love the passionate colors, Kathleen, and the new site speaks to your energy and your practical, get-it-done approach. Warmer, brighter, more exciting.
Thanks for your feedback Paula. I also love the colors.
WOW Kathleen! Congrats! My heart skipped a beat when I saw your new site. I’m so VERY excited for you and can’t wait to find out more about what you are doing. Cheering you on!
Thanks so much Dvorah.
First congratulations on the new site! What I like about it also is the clean, energetic feel, it’s also great on the eyes, and also the navigation is super easy too.
Next, I’d also like to say thank you for showing us that reinvention is totally possible and totally okay. Sometimes we hear/learn that we need to find the be all-end all thing we are supposed to do or are here to do. So we stress over finding something, thinking it has to be IT for the rest of our working time and that we’re flaky or scattered, or even a failure if things don’t turn out as we hope and plan.
I’ve watched you make a couple of shifts including this one and it doesn’t look like those things at all. Thanks for encouraging us in ways you probably never even though of 🙂
Oh my! I would be miserable if I had to stay the same way for the rest of my life Cheryl. Thanks for your comments and kind words.
First and foremost: CONGRATULATIONS! 🙂
Not only is your new website simply awesome, but I already feel “empowered for profits” just hanging in there!
Wishing you abundant success with this superb new direction you’re taking.
There’s a BRIGHT future ahead of you; I can already feel it! 🙂
Thank you!!! I appreciate your feedback.
This is a fabulous new vibrant look to your “up” dated website! I am so excited to be a part of the Platinum Program – growing through the challenges with your amazing expert guidance. 2013 is going to be a great year for me. I’ve got a lot to learn about being a successful business. I am so glad I said YES! I am in the right place at the right time. Living on the edge of my comfort zone is teaching me how to defy gravity and fly! Thanks Kathleen!
Kathleen: You have created another beautiful website that so represents how awesome you are. I loved hearing more about your journey and your desire to grow your business even more.
