Tonyah Dee was 40 years old, with an 18- month-old son, when she went through a two-year separation that eventually led to a divorce. A couple years later, she was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and around the same time discovered that her ex-therapist was working with her ex-husband out of a book titled, The Productive Narcissist. This piqued her curiosity, which led her to read several books on the subject of anxiety and narcissism. A common theme among many of them was to learn to practice meditation and prayer.
This struck a chord with Tonyah, and she took her first step down a very beneficial new path. She woke early in the morning to meditate, often singing worship songs, meditating, reading and contemplating scripture and praying. Eventually, a habit of daily seeking The Trinity was established. Her faith and trust in God became unshakable.
Then during her meditation time one morning, she heard the Holy Spirit direct her to make meditation music from the Bible. She responded by saying, “Who, me? I know nothing about making music.” She heard the same message for about a year.
Despite having no formal music background, she finally said yes to the persistent voice of the Spirit of God. Soon she was writing down songs and singing them during her morning meditation.
Conflict and stress were still a part of her life, but peace and compassion began to gradually overcome her situation. Grace flowed in and her company, YahLight, was born.
Along with making music, Tonyah teaches YahLight’s daily practices. She still tries to wake up every morning and start her day with stillness, singing, meditation, contemplation, reading scripture, and prayer. Arguably, these practices are what have helped her rise above all of her life’s challenges, including over 18 years of living (and thriving!) as a single mom.

Leadership is exhausting in every way.
Even if you’re “successful,” it’s tempting to hang it up—because you’re tired of people looking to you for all the answers, tired of pretending you have your act together, tired of worrying about cashflow, or tired of listening to the “you’re not good enough” tapes playing in your head.
Don’t quit.
No one else can bring to the world what you have to offer.
As a go-getter entrepreneur or executive leader, there’s no worse feeling than stuck.
Nick Kennedy knows this all too well he’s been where you are, and he absolutely understands how frustrating it is to want more… and have no earthly idea how to get it.
Eventually, Nick cracked the code—launching, building, and selling a multi-million-dollar airline will teach a guy a few lessons.

Being an entrepreneur isn’t a job. It’s a lifestyle built around one’s businesses.
Beyond the nuts and bolts of starting, growing, and running a business, it’s important to first build a foundation to ensure a meaningful entrepreneurial career. This means that budding entrepreneurs must assess their capacity for persistence, lifelong learning, entrepreneurial drive, and passion for pursing business opportunities.
Also added to those is the quality of their partnerships, because in business as in life, they are vitally important.
Seasoned entrepreneur Bob Schlegel speaks from more than four decades of experience to instruct a new generation of aspiring business leaders on what factors to consider before they make their first sale or seal their first deal. His five foundational pillars will determine not only the level of success, but also the quality of life they can achieve.

When you think of sales, have you ever felt:
You know deep inside you should start having more sales conversations or you desire to have the ability to enroll more of the right clients from your existing pipeline. And yet, there’s something that is holding you back.
Many times, the fear of rejection combined with a lack of sales skill can hinder your ability to have the courageous conversations that convert.
People often admit that they struggle with going into sales conversations feeling like they have to defend the value of their services and convince prospects to work with them.
What comes up before the sales conversation will come out as you’re talking to prospects, from your willingness to connect initially all the way to your follow-through after the call.
When you go in feeling like you need to convince someone to work with you, you’re naturally starting the conversation off-balance, undermining your confidence and the value you can provide.
Dr. Nadia Brown gets it. She used to feel the same way until she learned how to show up fully and powerfully to sales conversations with prospects and guide them to the buying decision that is best for them.
Dr. Brown joins Adam to share why courage may be the most critical sales skill you need.

For instance, you have to consider their problems and how your business is solving those problems. You also have to consider who your target market is.
This means knowing their age, their gender, and where they are located.
The more you know about your target market, the more you know how to help them as you consider what kind of start-up growth strategy you need.

Most women have not acknowledged their natural ability to lead, invite, and create win-win opportunities.

Her advice, “All you need is the model, the community, and the guidance to soar.”
You can learn how to start a publishing company in the next 30-60 days, even if you don’t have an existing audience or have no idea where your clients are.
