Looking forward to seeing the post about how you are smarter than Suze O.

p.s. Be sure to link to Part 2 from Part 1.

I just heard about what happened at Shine last night, so I am late for this party. I will be very transparent (always been so even when it was not called that) I have not been impressed with ALI from the get go. Do not misunderstand my statement. I am all about supporting and raising up women.

I am grateful for Elizabeth being willing to be the town crier for the “empress has not clothes” (one of my favorite stories).

Girl you have given me reinforcement to state what is obvious (like hiding and acting like it didn't happen ever works).

I see a trend and have for a while that WE women who are talking here could be joining forces and creating powerful workshops together like SHINE and even better and more powerful ( hint hint Elizabeth and Leesa, let's talk)

There is an emptiness in many workshops, bootcamps, conferences whatever you call the damn things that leaves one hungry. Why do we go, pay them just to find each other to network and build relationships with one another.

Social Media only works when you are being SOCIAL. When the first thing out of someones mouth is “How can I monetize social media” I want to smack them. They do not take that attitude when they give referrals or use other forms of word of mouth DUH!

Social Media is another platform for you to express who you are so folks do not have to pull it out of you-so to the extent you SHOW UP is to the extent you build that “know, like and trust factor”.

I also believe in seeing the lesson in every situation. What is the opportunity here? (yes, asking better questions is important to me too) We have opportunity to learn from Ali's mistakes and to also step up in a more powerful way.

I encourage my fellow sisters to PLAY BIGGER. Why would you not think you deserve to be a paid speaker in your area of expertise? Why do we make excuses for not clearing out our limiting beliefs?

Someone reminded me of a great comment-quote today-not sure who's it is:
“how far you are down right now is how far along you'll be when you spring out of this, and you will”

I am all for being honest and calling it when it strikes you wrong as well as offering up love and forgiveness when we each stumble and fall.

So thank you Elizabeth for calling it and now let's send Ali and her speakers love and forgiveness while being willing to STAND in our own power and walk forward with confidence at the same time reaching back to bring along someone with us.

Elizabeth, you are really “coming into your own.” I've been excited watching you grow in peeps so quickly by speaking your truth. I am also one of those extroverted introverts so your posts have really been resonating with me. Paid speaking you should honestly consider to add to your multiple streams approach of income ince you are good at it.

Tweets scheduled to post at a certain time have their place, such as to remind followers of your teleseminar about to start. I'm just thinking that maybe putting PT in front so folks know it is a pre-tweet would be helpful. Then they wouldn't expect a reply if they tweeted back.

Lastly, I am probably considered part of the older generation, but social media, the internet, and so many more new technologies and ways of doing business are absolutely exciting for me to be able to choose from to use! They have levelled the playing field due to their low cost and being able to develop those relationships. I believe there is room for old and new.

I do want to say that I agree with Melanie. I do my own tweeting, but find I am more productive with “time blocking”, so I occasionally pre-tweet. Many of the people I tweet with are on the opposite side of the world from me and with the 12 hour time difference I sometime need to rely on twitter tools.

Anyway, I want to chime in and say that I'm really enjoying your blog posts and you have another new fan…egads! I hope you can handle it ; )
