| I've been a dancer my entire life. I
| |
| | of me was stiff as a board. I wasn't
|
| started out at the tender age of 4 with
| |
| | moving my arms, hips, head, or shoulders.
|
| my first pair of shinny black tap shoes
| |
| | Nothing. I was only doing 10% of the
|
| with little pink bows. I later graduated
| |
| | work, but expecting 100% of the
|
| to jazz, swing, ballroom, a little
| |
| | results.It's the same in business. If you
|
| country line dancing and in my mid 20s
| |
| | have the perfect marketing plan, but no
|
| returned to my love of tap where I
| |
| | systems to back it up, it's like you're
|
| studied with a professional dancer who
| |
| | working at 10%. You need a balance of
|
| taught the likes of Paula Abdul and other
| |
| | marketing, sales, accounting, products,
|
| celebrities how to shake a leg.So when I
| |
| | staff, etc. Make sure you aren't dancing
|
| decided I wanted to drop a couple of
| |
| | with just your feet, use your whole
|
| pounds before the holidays hit I went
| |
| | body.Why do I have to force myself to do
|
| back to my roots and signed up for a
| |
| | something I love?Sunday morning I'm
|
| series of dance classes.Going in I knew
| |
| | curled up on the couch with my dog, a
|
| that dance requires creativity, focus,
| |
| | nice cup of tea and the TV. I love the
|
| control and power. But driving home one
| |
| | dance class, you'd think I'd be ready to
|
| day I thought about how much learning to
| |
| | jump up and head off to class. But no I
|
| dance is like running a business. Here
| |
| | literally had to force myself off the
|
| are 5 business lessons I've learned from
| |
| | couch.Even though you love what you do,
|
| hanging out in a hip-hop class.I can do a
| |
| | sometimes you'll have to force yourself
|
| whole lot more than I thought.Each lesson
| |
| | to work. Figure out what motivates you to
|
| is broken down into sections. It doesn't
| |
| | get going even when you don't feel like
|
| matter what class I'm in the instructor
| |
| | it.A group of peers is really
|
| belts out 8 counts of new steps and I
| |
| | supportive.When there is a really big
|
| watch thinking, "my body doesn't do
| |
| | class we split into two groups so at the
|
| that".You know what, after it's broken
| |
| | end of the class each group has a chance
|
| down and we practice a bit, "my body can
| |
| | to really let go without worrying about
|
| do that". It's the same with your
| |
| | running into their neighbor. It's great
|
| business. What business tasks, systems,
| |
| | having more advanced dancers to follow in
|
| phone calls, and risks are you not taking
| |
| | case I forget the steps. Then at the end
|
| because you think you can't? All it takes
| |
| | the group watching claps and cheers - no
|
| is breaking it down and a little practice
| |
| | matter we look like.Find yourself a group
|
| and you'll be amazed at what you can
| |
| | of cheerleaders. Personally, I have a
|
| do.It gets easier with time.My first day
| |
| | mastermind group, an accountability
|
| in hip-hop class I looked around at the
| |
| | buddy, and a coach. All help me when I
|
| room full of 20somethings and through,
| |
| | need help with the steps and cheer for me
|

| |
| | business process consultant who helps
|
| fast I'm picking it up.In business you
| |
| | solo-entrepreneurs, small business owners
|
| don't start at the top. You have to try
| |
| | and network marketers who want to
|
| things that make you feel uncomfortable,
| |
| | systemize their business to increase
|
| self- conscious and maybe even (gulp),
| |
| | profits, increase productivity and grow
|
| out of control. But keep at it because

|
| soon things that gave you the heebie
| |
| | the family oriented, flexible, balanced

| more than good feet to be a good
