This powerful column provides you an opportunity to ask Rebecca those visibility/media questions, business questions, money questions, leadership, speaker, personal growth, and empowerment questions you have. Rebecca wants to help you overcome fear and bring your message forward. In each issue, Rebecca will select 1 to 3 questions to answer.
This issue, I felt like a theme was emerging in the questions I was receiving….so you will see that I combined the answers to the first two questions and have added some additional information in response to the third question.

I hope you enjoy the information.

We have to resist just focusing on one or two of the activities…as then our organization can become unbalanced and inconsistent in the results.

I typically make a list with my top priorities (with time estimates assigned) that these things need to be committed to and completed today.
