Feeling depressed – like something’s missing? Try this.

604

I had no idea I was going to write about this today, but when I thought about whether or not I should mention it . . .

I don’t feel like I have a choice as I’m still pretty shaky.

Sunday afternoon we were hit pretty bad in a car accident.

Josh, myself and Kuma were driving down a quiet side street here in Venice when a driver sped through a back alleyway — without stopping — and slammed into the side of our car.

The impact was horrific. Glass shattered everywhere, and in an instant our car was forced underneath another parked car on the side of the road.

Thank God, we’re all fine (save nasty bruises, soreness, totaled cars, Kuma peed on my pants – LOL etc.).

The most upsetting thing though is how my mind keeps flashing these “alternate reality” scenarios in my head. These horrible, mini movies where if it were just a few seconds off . . .

Either Josh, Kuma or myself may not have survived. That’s really is the worst part for me — everytime I shut my eyes or try to rest, they come up.

So before we get into today’s episode, I invite you to take a moment to connect with and express your genuine love for the dearest people in your life.

How to Start an Online Business with No Money or Tech Knowledge

360

Sometimes, I just have to stop and praise the sweet heavens above that I was born during this particular time in history.

The Internet continues to be something I’m deeply grateful for.

Specifically, I appreciate how this miraculous and magical vehicle revolutionizes the way we think, live, learn, work, create and distribute art, connect to each other and the world, and express ourselves on a daily basis.

My friend Peter Diamandis, author of the fantastic book Abundance writes,

“Right now, a Masai warrior on a mobile phone in the middle of Kenya has better mobile communications than the president did 25 years ago. If he’s on a smart phone using Google, he has access to more information than the U.S. president did just 15 years ago. If present growth rates continue, by the end of 2013, more than 70% of humanity will have access to instantaneous, low-cost communications and information.”

One of the most exciting things about technology is how, in many ways, it’s leveled the playing field — especially when it comes to entrepreneurship.

The barriers to entry are lower than they’ve ever been. And if you don’t know how to do something, you can start to figure it out — largely for free.

If you, or someone you know, ever finds yourself stopped by a lack of technical know-how or financial resources, this episode of MarieTV is for you.

Make More Money: Does Your Desire For More Cash Make You Unspiritual?

369

Did you have any weird habits when you were a kid?

I did. While I didn’t realize it at the time, some of my childhood obsessions foreshadowed who I’d become as an adult. More on that in a second.

In today’s episode of MarieTV, we’re tackling a money block that holds a lot of us back and prevents us from being as successful as we can be.

If you ever feel conflicted about wanting to make more money, as though your desire to make more money somehow makes you less of a “spiritual person,” watch this video now.

Because you may have some toxic beliefs about money (consciously or unconsciously) that not only limit your income but your happiness too.

B-School 2013 Scholarship Winners Announced!

287

Since last week, we’ve been poring through nearly 600 scholarship entries videos for B-School. (That’s a record high for us!)

It’s been an absolute privilege, on behalf of myself and my team, to watch each and every video that has been submitted this year.

We’ve been laughing, crying, hootin’, hollerin’ and sending notes back and forth all week. Most of the time, though, we’ve just been in serious awe of you.

Who you are, your courage, your insight, your creativity and your willingness to go for it.

As you know, we believe in the power of B-School and sincerely hope you’ll join us for it.

But if, for whatever reason it’s not the right fit, know that we’re still cheering you on. We will continue to be here for you: providing education and inspiration each and every week, for free.

I’ll be honest, when I first announced this contest, I didn’t know what to expect. You’ll see that you’ve inspired me to award a lot more scholarships than any of us imagined.

Here are our 31 winners of a full B-School Scholarship for 2013.

Problem Client: How To Protect Yourself From Clients Who Refuse To Pay

251

Question: have you ever been stiffed? I sincerely hope the answer to that question is no, but the sad reality is . . .

Nearly all of us have been cheated out of money.

The worst is when you’ve been stiffed by your clients. It can feel downright depressing when you work hard to deliver an outstanding product or a service, and then you get burned.

After all, you were operating on good faith and assumed that your clients would be honorable and honest!

The worst part here is that we have no one to blame but ourselves. (Ouch!)

Look, I’ll be the first to admit that I learned this lesson the hard and expensive way.

I’m a very trusting person with a huge heart, and over the years I’ve been stiffed out of tens of thousands of dollars.

Not to mention all the time and energy I lost beating myself up for being naive or trying to get people to just honor their agreements and pay for what they received.

The good news is that I’ve realized there are a few simple things you can do to protect yourself and keep your energy where it belongs: on delivering value to honest customers, making a difference and enjoying an amazing life.
