My cousins and I sharing a moment

Happy Monday!

It’s been a crazy week with a travel schedule, coaching, and a series of family events (Sofia turned 4, can you believe; and Sebastian is graduating from elementary school this week).

Here are your tips for getting the week started and making the most of your fabulous brand.

1) Create a realistic plan and ACT!

2) Practice your 30 seconds brand pitch every morning in the mirror before you leave for work

3) Read a scripture every morning and night to set your day off with grace

4) Take yourself on a coffee date this week and be still

5) Wear your favorite color and walk tall

6) Clean up your wallet — No clutter (I just did this)

7) Exercise — get moving

8) Tweet this: My brand is *****, thanks #BrandNewMom

9) Call someone you miss and say, “hello”

10) Schedule a meeting with a potential client this week

Here’s to a fab week and a brand new you!
