The personal is professional and the professional is person is my motto. And so it’s with this in mind that I share the following…
Sitting at my dinner table last night putting the finishing touches on the talk I’m giving in New York (www.rocktheworldnyc.com) I was filled with complete and utter happiness. In fact, it filled me so to the brim of my being that my eyes began to well…then, just like that, with my son playing to the left of me and my husband cooking behind me, I started to sob.
Quietly at first.
Then, louder and louder, until my little one heard me, came over and hugged me around my waist. He said nothing. I kept crying but immediately told him that I was not sad and that in fact I was crazy in love and in joy with my life, which included him playing and his Papa cooking. I told him that it also had to do with being able to express myself and creating what I wanted to in this life, not waiting for anyone to tell me if I could (or couldn’t). That this is what I wanted for him and for everyone.
My husband walked over and as they both held me, one around my middle and one around my shoulders stroking my head, I kept crying. Yet the real or full truth was yet to emerge. I then started to say “I’m just so grateful…so, so grateful, to Gigi and Oma…so grateful, so grateful, so grateful.” I was a broken record of bliss and of the most intense gratitude I have ever felt in all of my life.
Now, this re-brand that you see here…I love it and it expresses who I am and what I facilitate for women…yes, but it so much more than that. This launch of my new brand is a of sorts to the women, two in particular, who did, conquered, grew, pained, laughed and loved me without limits so that I might realize what it is that I *really* wanted from this life.
Seeing this re-brand and celebrating my 12th year in business
Our emotions, successes, mis-steps, thank you’s, I’m sorry’s make up our brand. Grit, glory and all as I said in my About page of the new site
(LAUNCH withamailchimp and on soc medai and note to peeps to share the site)
I’ve had this business for 12 years. It has been a joy and it also hasn’t been easy

In Maui finding even more of my iiT Factor.
I just got back from Maui and Lake Tahoe and am headed off to do my month in Europe…to live and work. Toil and joy. Joy and toil. So what does authentic branding really mean? Or, how do you continue towards more of your very own iiT Factor (yum, haute brands and happy lives begin here, remember. Don’t forget to download iiT Factor from the new site if you haven’t already here):
• Inject MORE OF YOU, never less. Permission ~ you have it! In fact, your ideal clients need to see, feel, hear more of you in the business so they trust and like you enough to invest in themselves with you. They need to know you’re not a faceless company but the FACE of the company that is filled with depth and heart.
• Carve our the resources to work with someone that can support you in gaining clarity on your PURPOSE or YOUR WHY. This is the heart and soul of any business, book, family (yes, family!), cause or movement (see below for opportunity). MGI starts all branding, business or life coaching with this piece. It’s extremely important and helps you create a foundation that will help you make more solid, strategic and smart decisions all in alignment with who you really are and what you’re here to create in this life.
• Get clear on what MAKES YOU HAPPY in your business (what products make you jump up for joy?). Then, create your offerings from this place. In fact, here at MGI, we build a brand around your happiness. A very sustainable and $uccessful choice.
• Sit down and CREATE A BRAND AND MARKETING PLAN around this very happiness. All successful business women/entrepreneurs know that planning, amidst our crazy-cool creativity, is extremely important. How will your communication moving forward express the purpose work and clarity around what makes you extremely happy? Who do you need to help you get there (who is most “on-brand”)? What needs to change (are you “on-brand”)? What is going well? Which partners may you need moving forward (again, who is most “on-brand”)?
• Lastly, IMPLEMENT what you have on this plan, or in other words, rock your iiT Factor. Rock it, talk it, walk it! Strut it everyday unabashedly. Because iiT doesn’t just happen. Sexy, haute brands and lives don’t just happen. You have to put one Jimmy Choo in front of the other towards the greatest version and vision of you possible (no settling, ladies). Do this. Every. Single. Day. Whether it’s two small “micromovements” or one major mojo (scary) movement each day, the key is to keep moving forward. Time off is important (very important) AND for the ladies building something great, working towards a cause, a movement and growing into the woman and BRAND you know yourself to be, it’s important that your time off doesn’t affect the health and wealth of your business. Make sure, always, to have a support system that will help keep things burning while you’re not out burning the midnight oil. Having a plan will help guide you toward these daily action steps.
Purpose, passion and a plan. This is what I believe about these three things: you can’t create something consistent, great and that is 6 or 7 figures without them. And each must dialed to a 10 to deliver the results you want. If you don’t have each one dialed to that number, turn up the volume or level of support for yourself so you can! The business you’re envisioning awaits and, hey, that woman you know yourself to be…she’s just in arms reach. Reach out and make decisions as she would from there on out.
