As you can see, things have changed quite a bit here at michellebarryfranco.com. I spent the last part of 2010 having some really heartfelt conversations with myself and a few things came out of those conversations: 1. I want to express myself completely, authentically and with my whole heart in this life 2. While public…

The Mindful Use of Technology for Authentic Human Connection: Wisdom 2.0 Conference Reflections
Written on May 5, 2010 by Michelle Barry Franco in Contribution, entrepeneurialism, life overall, social media, technology
A really important conversation began this weekend. It’s a conversation that we all, on some level, know has to happen. It’s one that’s happening in many of our hearts and minds as well as in our families, marriages, within our friendships – maybe even with work colleagues. Those personal conversations have been intense, conflicted, and…

Wabi Sabi: The Art (& Bummer) of Imperfection
Written on April 16, 2010 by Michelle Barry Franco in Contribution, entrepeneurialism, products, story, Vision Into Action
I just found a pretty obvious error in my main self-study program guidebook. It’s an error I should have seen. I know it wasn’t there in previous iterations that came from the interior book designer. I know because I looked those ones over really detailed-like. But those last few revisions, I was just checking the…

Soulful Sales & The Sacred Moment
I am finding my way back into the rhythms of home after two blissfully spiritual days at a sales seminar. Yes, you heard me right – a sales seminar. A blissfully spiritual sales seminar. Oh, isn’t this a complex statement on so many levels? First of all, we soulful types often have a harder time…

How to Accept and Use Feedback From Others
Written on February 24, 2010 by Michelle Barry Franco in Collaboration, Contribution, products, Vision Into Action, writing
As I’ve mentioned (kind of a lot now), I’ve just finished writing and producing this Vision Into Action program. As I’ve also mentioned, this is a much more intense project than I expected (though I am thrilled with the outcome, mind you.) There are multiple moving parts and the expertise and input of many smart…

No More Excuses: Take Your Vision Into Real Action

I believe wholeheartedly in bringing your brilliance. I actually believe it is our responsibility. It’s part of the way this whole Universe works. You bring your brilliance, which is different than mine. Your neighbor brings his. My aunt brings hers. Together, we have this finely crafted gorgeous Whole offering, this giant Mosaic (I’ve got a…

Become a Leading Authority
Written on February 1, 2010 by Michelle Barry Franco in Contribution, leading-authority, small business marketing
I was talking with a colleague the other day about her work. I said something like, “You need to establish yourself as the expert that you already are on this topic.” (She really is.) Her: “I resist calling myself an expert.” Me: “Why?!” Her: “There’s a lot I don’t know. I am always learning… (more…

Ideas on the Outside
I’ve been on writing retreat so I’m behind on my blog reading. There are certain blogs that just lift me up or make me think or add to my life and business in myriad ways, that I can feel it when I am away from them. It’s hard to keep track of ideas. Like 37Days,…

Succeed or Fail? Contemplations on the Eve of a Product Launch
I am getting close to launching the first The Brazen Soul program. I’m having all kinds of crazy mixed emotions as the product creation process winds toward closing. I’m thinking: What if no one wants this? What if I can’t reach the people who need it the most? Is my “community” large enough (on and…

Seth Godin's Linchpin Book Brilliance, Part 1
Written on January 18, 2010 by Michelle Barry Franco in Contribution, entrepeneurialism, giving back, life overall
“You have brilliance in you, your contribution is valuable, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must. I’m hoping you’ll stand up and choose to make a difference.” “It’s futile to work hard at restoring the take-care-of-you bargain. The bargain is gone, and it’s not worth whining about…
