How Are You Adding to Your Personal Economy & the National Economy? Special Offer for Entrepreneurs
July 22, 2010 | Posted in Leading Hartfully, Living Hartfully, Wealthy Woman | By Gaia Hart
I’m feeling generous and want more people to realize they can create their own economy through the right entrepreneurship. I’m offering $250 scholarships for a limited time for a 1.5 hour coaching session with me where you will get your personal blueprint of your work style, communication style, conflict management style, entrepreneurship path along with personal customized coaching. I want us entrepreneurs to change the vibration of this nation by doing the right work and creating your own economy.
A US Federal Reserve survey shows that the average household net worth for entrepreneurs is 5 times that of conventinal employees. That means that entrepreneurs are 5 times more likely to come out of this downturn unscathed and even stronger than before because they’ve created their own economy.
History has repeatedly demonstrated that new companies and entrepreneurship are the way to bolster a flagging economy. It’s the passion, power, enthusiasm, creativity, nimbleness and sheer determination of entrepreneurs to be quick to market and adapt to the changing national economy that can help uplevel their personal economies and the national economy.
A Gallup poll found that 61% of Americans say they would prefer to be their own boss. Another poll by the Decipher firm found that 72% of all adult Americans would rather work for themselves than for a job and 67% think about quitting their jobs “regularly” or “constantly”.
Wow. What does that say about our corporate workforces and public agency employees? Leaders need to take heed of these findings and figure out ways to empower their teams to be more entrepreneurial, take responsibility for their projects and performance and ask them what they want out of the relationship with their job. Once we know what people want, we are better equipped to give it to them. Ask your team about their personal mission, vision for their job, what their ideal job or position in a company would be. Or if it’s outside the company – maybe working on their own as a consultant to the company.
Entrepreneurship is not for everybody. I’m thrilled it’s for me. Couldn’t and wouldn’t have it any other way. Entrepreneurs get to create their life on their terms and create the work they love to support their full expression of their purpose. They get to use their talents, knowledge, skills and abilities to the max if they’ve, in fact, created the right company to match their passions and purpose.
If you’re not yet an entrepreneur, or if you’re an emerging entrepreneur, there is help and guidance to assist you in discovering more about your skill sets, your motivation behind your behavior, your work styles and what type of business is best suited to your unique set of characteristics. Some people are better suited to going completely on their own, partnering, being a part of a bigger team, network marketing, being in business for yourself but not by yourself, or being a lone wolf.
What type of entrepreneur are you or do you aspire to be? How can you add to the national economy and your personal economy with your talents and skills? As an Energized Entrepreneur Coach and Relationship Awareness Facilitator (measuring your motivations behind your behaviors, your communication and work styles and conflict management styles); I can help you figure out paths best suited for you.
As your economic stimulus package, I’m offering a preferred investment of $125 for a 1.5 hour session to help you figure out your style and what type of entrepreneurship is best suited to your style. I’m giving you a scholarship of $250 for this session. You can use these results to improve your personal and professional relationships, to figure out the best type of environment for you, what types of work that best suits you and much more. You will get a clear, concise blueprint of your style. Send me an email at Gail@GailHahn.com to set up your appointment by phone.
I’m so excited about helping you create your own economy, I can hardly stand it. I’m thrilled to be in a position to offer you a scholarship to make this personal coaching and enrichment session available to more people who are wanting to quit their jobs or at least start something on the side to help their families and help themselves. This special offer won’t last for long. I’ve got to keep my economy going too. 🙂 Take advantage of the limited scholarships for the next 2 weeks and grab your spot.
Here’s to helping you create your own economy and economic stimulus plan so you can help the natonal economy. And to all of your entrepreneurs already doing it – cheers to you for turning things around!
ACTUAL Social Networking with Clients, Colleagues, Friends & Family
June 22, 2010 | Posted in Leading Hartfully, Living Hartfully, Wealthy Woman | By Gaia Hart
A recent TV commercial for Coleman camping equipment stating that they were the original social networking site with their little green stoves reminded me that getting back to ACTUAL socializing has become a lost art.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe digital social networking is aaaahmazing and blogging is freedom of expression in its purest form. I also believe the lost art of actually visiting with people face to face and not just through facebook is a pretty cool thing. I also think that the art of sending cards and gifts through the snail mail postal system is another art that isn’t near extinction yet, but it’s been fading into the background.
Research shows that only 3% of our mail is personal and the rest is filled with marketing, logos and bills. More data suggests that 83% of people would rather receive a paper greeting card than an electronic greeting card. It means the sender spent a little more time thinking of you and spent a little extra care in creating or selecting the card. What would happen if you sent more greeting cards and gifts to friends, family, clients and colleagues?
What would happen if you became more social and invited them to lunch or to coffee to connect? What about sending them a Thanks a Latte card wiht a $5 or $10 Starbucks card in it and invite them to join you to catch up, to actually socialize and network.
The greeting card industry shows that most people send about 10 cards per year, but they have a need to send about 70 cards per year. Now you have a system at your disposal to actually send actual greeting cards, gift cards, gifts and postcards in a couple minutes from your computer for less than the cost of a retail greeting card. You can completely customize your cards with your handwriting and photos. When you click the SEND button, your card is printed, stuffed, stamped and mailed for you in 24 hours. I’m in love with this system of sending out cards and gifts.
It allows me to connect with my tribe on a regular basis and allows me to express how I feel about them simply and easily. The best part is it allows me to acknowledge and appreciate them and make their day. I know appreciation wins over self promotion every single time and what I send out comes back to me exponentially. I choose to send out positive vibes every single day to stay connected.
How are you choosing to stay connected with your network? How do you choose to socialize and actually meet, greet and make other’s days? I choose to add love, light and joy to my day by sending positive thoughts through pictures, words and deeds.
How are you making the days of your network? If you want to brighten somebody’s day, my treat, and test drive this vehicle for the Law of Attraction; send me an email at Gail@GailHahn.com and I’ll set up a gift account for you to send a card on me. Let me know how it works out and how it feels to make somebody’s day with an unexpected social card.
Check out this and other videos on the page to view the power of gratitude and appreciation and how sending out to give can change lives:

SOCTV Guest this Thursday – REALationship Marketing
January 19, 2010 | Posted in Leading Hartfully, Wealthy Woman | By Gaia Hart
Join us Thursday, 4 February on SOCTV as I will be interviewed on becoming an Executive, REALationship marketing, steps to success and the power of appreciation. If you missed it, look under the archives on your SOC site. Don’t have a SOC site yet? Contact me at Gail@BizBuilderCards.com to get your own site.
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
November 18, 2009 | Posted in Leading Hartfully, Living Hartfully, Wealthy Woman | By Gaia Hart
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’?
August 18, 2009 | Posted in Leading Hartfully, Living Hartfully, Wealthy Woman | By Gaia Hart
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!
