Spotlight on Success Show – Episode #7
Today on my show I had the pleasure of a speaking with Angelique Rewers, The Corporate Agent, who provided us with the first steps for how to land corporate clients.
Working with small business owners and corporate clients, Angelique understand the challenges and advantages in both worlds. In our discussion, I ask Angelique –
- Are there some entrepreneurs who the corporate market is better for than others?
- When it comes to selling to the corporate market, what size of an opportunity are we talking about?
- Aside from the money, what are some of the biggest advantages to working with corporate clients that people may be surprised to learn?
- And, what is the biggest challenge small business owners have in landing corporate clients, and how can they over it?

Performance Tip of the Week
If you were to ask most entrepreneurs why they are in business, many would answer, “To be of service to others.” True, there are those whose motives are purely financial — and I am not discounting the need to pay the bills — but the entrepreneurs in my circle definitely lead and give from the heart. We are in the business of service.

New entrepreneurs can easily fall into the trap of believing that in order to get their business off the ground, they need to give their products and services away. The reality is that your prospects will only Continue reading →

Every year brings with it good times and not so good times, as well as the natural ebbs and flows of business.
But as we near the end of the year, and take pause to reflect on our experiences, I think we can all agree that despite the challenges, there is much for which to be thankful. It’s all about deciding what your best take-aways will be from 2011. Last week I shared why I feel my 2011 has been so abundant, but also wanted to hear from you, and asked –
What business experience/breakthrough/lesson are you most thankful for this year, and what made it a blessing for you?
It was wonderfully inspiring to hear from our panel this week. I wish to add how thankful I have been this year for each and every contributor, who has added great value to this series time and time again — you ROCK! The point is to be thankful for Continue reading →

Performance Tip of the Week
When you look at your life, do you see a glass half empty or a glass half full?
Do you wait until the fourth Thursday in November each year to take pause, and reflect on the many ways your life is blessed?
Do you mentally and emotionally reside in the camp of the have’s or the have-not’s?
Experiencing true abundance in life is not about how much stuff you can accumulate over a lifetime. It’s about how fully you can pay it forward during your time on planet earth, and discover how, through giving, God shines priceless blessings right back on you.
Some days are easier than others to maintain an attitude of gratitude. I have my days of doubt and frustration just like you do. It’s how you choose to spend the majority of your time that defines you. Continue reading →
