Covering the traits or characteristics of the NEXT level of success a Warrior-Preneur possesses the power of fearlessness! (you can see the previous post on Integrity and find the other traits).
Are there places where you need to feel the fear and do it anyway? Where have you been fearless recently that paid off for you?

This morning I was thinking about success and wanted to share with you. Thank you Candace Davenport for sharing Jeff Olsons book: “The Slight Edge” with me!
What does success mean to you? How do you practice “continuous movement”? If you had to recommend a book or CD what would it be and why?

I have so enjoyed connectology(C) on my fan page and honoring fans that participate is what it’s all about! This week’s fan is Molly Burke, an amazing woman, funny, fierce and REAL! She has grown leaps and bounds in social media and her fans love her! Please meet Molly Burke – a woman you should all know!
1) One thing that makes me unique: Just one thing? Geez. I can brainstorm great ideas in many mediums for just about anybody. I’m fearless and just about shameless onstage/platform. Oops, that’s two. And I wear tiaras while taking bubble baths. Okay, that’s three and I’m done. Pick the one you want.
2) Who are my power partners: Right now I’ve got allies in my work circles with whom I’m working magic and friends upon whom I rely madly for support and the occasional turkey carving. You want names? Biz: Adryenn Ashley, Jodi Johnson, Karen Frank, Candace Davenport, Krishna Surroy. Friends: Ian Carruthers, Jo Nemoyten (both of Foolish Tree Films and my BFFs) , Sharon King make up the VERY short list.
3) Links to my blog and website(they’re in the same place)
http://thequeenofconfidence.com (they’re the same website, I’m doing a branding change to the queen site early April with a website theme, logo upgrade and format update. Exciting stuff!
4) My favorite thing about running my own biz: Charting my own course and of course, working in my fuzzy slippers avec tiara.
5) What I do: Inspire people to greater experiences of core confidence in their lives wherever needed-work, relationships, business, sales, leadership, as well as fund, productivity and morale raising. I do that through my unique Life Purpose Discovery method, my books, public speaking, social media, coaching, leading seminars, webinars and retreats, through my upcoming radio show “The Queen of Confidence Hour” and appearances on TV and radio. Whew! I have a ridiculously long resume full of very impressive stuff and have appeared before millions of people in person on both stage and platform. I also sing and dance. I wear tiaras onstage.
6) Who I would most like to meet to help me get to the next level: Stock answer: Oprah. Strategically speaking right now? Promoters interested in collaborating on speaking/teaching tours and events with me and my JV partners both here and abroad.
Thank you Molly for being a woman that gets the art of connectology! Those of you reading what’s your favorite thing you learned about Molly?

I am honored to have amazing fans that engage on my Warrior-Preneur Fan page, participate, share and just give love! What more can I do but honor them in return? This week’s fan, if you don’t know her get to! We originally met on Twitter, and her energy, good spirit and love for LOVE just jumped off the stream! Take a moment to meet Rachel Miller: our Friday Facebook Fan!
1-What makes me unique? I have to admit I’m having a hard time with this one. I guess I’d have to say my willingness and desire to be authentic. I am most comfortable being open, honest and genuine. I call it how I see it but am willing to always hear both sides of a story and hope to learn and grow from doing so. I’m very comfortable sharing my mistakes, errors in judgment and flaws hoping that it may one day help someone else through theirs.
2-My power partners: For my business I am so lucky to be a member of the For Your Pleasure, Inc. Advisory Board. This board is filled with 9 other Independent Business Associates and the company’s CEO. These ladies have provided me with the best business mastermind group that I’ve ever been in contact with! In my personal life my power partners are some of my closest family members. My aunt, my cousin and my sisters. They are who keep me sane on a daily basis and who’s support I count on most!
4-My favorite thing about running my own business is that I now run my own life. A corporate office used to dictate my schedule and therefore the schedules of my family. Working from home and seeing the smile on my daughter’s face everyday after school is priceless. Being home after school, for her, is so important and I am so grateful that my business allows me to do that.
5-What do I do? Well, I empower women (and men) to be comfortable & confident with their sexuality enabling them to have more intimate relationships with themselves and their partners! I do this mostly through the fabulous world of direct sales by providing in-home sex toy parties. I also provide workshops and seminars on numerous sex and relationship topics.
6- I’m not sure I know who it is I need or would like to meet right now. I firmly believe when the student is ready the teacher appears and right now I’m looking to create some info products of my own to help people who don’t to get experience me live. I’m also working on a book idea. So I am open to meeting anyone who can help me grow my business in these areas.
Reach out to Rachel this week, say hello – become her friend, great things happen when you connect! Thank you Rachel for being a fan!

Warrior-Preneurs are the next level of entrepreneurs; they get that strategy, mindset and habits create outstanding results. I have shared the first four characteristics of a Warrior-Preneur: 1-history; 2-discipline; 3-sexy; 4-community.
Now the fifth – integrity – a BIG word – watch here for my thoughts:
Now some might say, “they did not intend it Ann” – WHATEVER! Ignorance is not a healthy excuse! What demonstrates Integrity for you?

What’s one thing that makes you – not your biz unique?
The current piece that perhaps makes me unique is that I am planning a fundraiser to raise $20,000.00 for my cat, Serenity’s cancer treatments for one year. I am organizing a social media and email announcement that will be a powerful contribution to those who donate. I will be featuring donated services and products from high caliber resource people so that it is a win for my contributors as well as for myself and my donors. I will be offering my services for free and/or at steep discounts. Who are your power partners (not clients)?
Coaches who have large group coaching practices. I would provide the day to day quality of life entrepreneur soul coaching/healing systems that the group coaches don’t want to address.
Coaches who want a referral source for their clients to assist their clients in identifying their Soul Purpose, Passions, and to gain deep insight into their personality profile.
Professionals who hear the confidential business and personal needs of their clients:
Lawyers,
Hair dressers,
Chiropractors,
Bodywork therapists,
Yoga and Pilates instructors
Divorce Counselors
Career Counselors
Health Personal Trainers
Public Speaking Coaches
Organizations that support moms in having their own businesses
Organizations that support people in having their own businesses due to health challenges
What’s your favorite thing about running your own biz?
Freedom of my own schedule preferences
Freedom to inspire, uplift, and empower others
What do you do?
I assist entrepreneurs to become centered, intuitive, charismatic, confident, excited about life, effective Soul Purpose based business owners.
As a healer, I use several energy release tools and my intuitive skills to resolve unwanted behavior
I teach my clients an energy self management tool kit with which to manage their day to day quality of life.
Who would you most like to meet ( type of person) that would help you get to the next level?
The type of person that would help me get to my next level are 6 – 7 figure business development coaches.
Thanks Sasha for being a true fan! Ann
