RESOURCES
Are you ready to be inspired? What do you really want to do with your life? The following resources
are my way of letting you know what's possible for you; values-driven business, sustainability, social
entrepreneurism, the triple bottom line and so much more. It's time we looked at our work and our
businesses differently. There is so much possible whether through our businesses or our jobs... we can
make a difference and make the world a little bit or a lot better. I hope this inspires you...
"If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves."
Thomas Edison (who failed at building a light bulb how many times? :) Don't Give Up!)
A note from your Coach: Change does not have to be hard or extreme. Find something you're excited
about and take the steps you feel inspired to take, and talk about it... You will find others who share
your passion and that will support you in easily moving forward. Get Inspired and Play Big!
Inpiring Links and Books About Playing Big and Making a Difference:
I'm all about values-driven business. Making a difference and making a profit. Thinking bigger about
the work that we do and how we can do it.
My Articles: (link) The economic challenge can be your catalyst to greater success. Check out
my articles and see how to use your personal power to choose to build the success that you
desire, in this economy, or at any time.
The 5 P's of Success (link) What is your definition of success for your self? Does it include
passion and purpose? Check out my 5 P's of Success. Create your definition of success that
inspires you and empowers you to make it your reality.
PBS The New Heroes (link) This is one of my favorite websites to go and get inspired. I won't
even explain... just follow the link and read the stories about ordinary people who chose to
make an extraordinary difference. Social Entrepreneurism: "Social entrepreneurs identify
resources where people only see problems. They view the villagers as the solution, not the
passive beneficiary. They begin with the assumption of competence and unleash resources in the
communities they're serving." David Bornstein "How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs
and the Power of New Ideas
"Values-Driven Business" Ben Cohen & Mal Warwick "how to change the world, make
money, and have fun" - Sounds pretty fabulous, doesn't it. And yes, that's Ben from Ben &
Jerry's. I love this book - it ignites me. This book is full of insights, ways to make a difference
through your business that you may not have thought about. I like reading about Ben & Jerry's
because who would think a company who made ice cream could make a difference - this book
talks about how they did, how other companies do, and how you can too.
"Living Big" Pam Grout - Pam reminds us who we are and what we are capable of. This book
is filled with stories of people, like you and me, that are making a difference - in big and small
ways. It's inspiring... let it remind you of how amazing you are, how big you can live, and what
you can do. Claim your destiny, make a difference and serve a bigger purpose. Excerpt
"It is never too late to be who you might have been." George Eliot
The Big Idea (link) Donny Deutsch - This is a show on CNBC and a book. Donny interviews
entrepreneurs that have gone for their dreams and made it big. It's inspiring and again shows
what's possible for us to do.
The Triple Bottom Line: People, Planet & Profit is an expanded set of values and criteria for
measuring organizational (and societal) success: economic, ecological and social. Google it and
read up.
Just For YOU! Books and Links To Support You:
Tools to support you into stepping more boldly into your power, remembering who you are, and
empowering you to fulfill your potential and make your difference in the world... and mainly feel great
about your self.
"You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise L. Hay This is my favorite and most used book.
"The Magic of Thinking Big" by David J. Schwartz, PhD This is one of those oldies but
goodies. Just reading a couple pages can change your whole attitude. Simple and powerful.
"Success Built to Last" by Jerry Porras, Stewart Emery, and Mark Thompson
"creating a life that matters" Success through following and living your passions. This book
had some wonderful inspiring stories.
"The Success Principles" by Jack Canfield - Jack packed so much into this book. Open it in
any section and learn something that will support you in living a better, more successful life.
Strictly Business and Money
"Confessions of Shameless Self Promoters" Debbie Allen I love reading this book. It's a
fun read and it gets me inspired to stretch myself and think differently about promoting myself -
both how I feel about doing it and stories and tips to do it well. She says shameless self
promotion is "Looking for opportunities everywhere to promote yourself in service to others!"
"The Art of Closing the Sale" Brian Tracy If you need to sell and close in your business,
this is a great book. He talks about the psychology of closing and some great tips and tools - for
selling and to build a positive attitude.
"Over Coming Under Earning" Barbara Stanny If you have under earning issues, Barbara
has some great books, and great insights that can transform your financial experience... Even
beyond that, if you have beliefs that are holding you back Barbara has powerful tools and
exercises for breaking through those old beliefs. Start earning what you deserve, and live a
richer life.
"Trump 101" Donald Trump I like this book because he tells it the way it is and gives some
great tips.
