Karin Abarbanel – Birthing The Elephant – Episode#52

Finally – the start-up action guide that leads you step by step through the rocky small-business launch cycle, showing you not just the best moves to make, but the big pitfalls to avoid – so you can save time, money – and a boatload of stress!

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to take control of your life, do work you really love – and make more money?

All this and more can be yours as a small business owner. No wonder 2.5 million women a year – that’s 200,000 a month – catch start-up fever. If you’re one of them, you’ve come to the right place. Congratulations!

Why? Because beating the small-business odds isn’t easy. To do it, you’ll need support – and lots of it! Because the biggest challenges you’ll face aren’t economic, they’re emotional. Unless you can find the inner resources and staying power to rebound from setbacks and manage your fears, then the best business plan, the biggest bank account in town, and the savviest marketing strategy won’t help you when the going gets tough.

And it will get tough.

But here’s the good news: plenty of women have already mastered what we call “the small-business mind game” by tapping into their inner resources and ingenuity to rebound from the kind of setbacks that can derail even the most promising small-business dreams…

…like clients that bail and suppliers that fail you. Or phones that don’t ring and fax machines that don’t hum. And bank accounts look more like Mother Teresa’s than Madonna’s. Welcome to the world of small business!

Wouldn’t it be great to discover how women entrepreneurs in different industries handled the same emotional obstacles and the problems you’re worried about – from managing a project meltdown to surviving financially? Better yet, how about getting practical strategies and a dose of inspiration from women who’ve already navigated these tricky waters successfully? That’s what Birthing the Elephant is all about!

Angela Stokes – Raw Emotions – Episode #48

Half the size, twice the life

Back in 2002, She was 23 years old, about 19 stone (266lbs/120kg), UK dress size 26-28 and lost in miserable cycles of a non-existent love-life, uncontrollable overeating and complete denial. Her pride stopped her from discussing her weight with even her closest friends and if anyone tried to broach the subject with her, she strongly resented them for ‘interfering’.

Angela Stokes weight had steadily increased since her thyroid gland went under-active aged 11. By 16, she was 16 stone (224lbs/101kg) and her weight increased with her age, a stone a year, until by age 21, at her university graduation in 2000, she was 21 stone (294lbs/133kg). That was the heaviest she reached and when her health began to suffer so much that she thought she had diabetes, she knew this couldn’t continue.

Tommy McInnis – Homeless, Author, EMT – Episode #45

Tommy McInnis, was the Homeless Whisperer and Nelson was a Good Cop.

You think your job is hard? Imagine working overnight in New York City’s subway stations and subway tunnels, seeking out homeless people and persuading them to come with you to hospitals and shelters for treatment. This is the story told by Nelson Velez and Tommy McInnis in their book, “Last Stop: A Survivor’s Story.” Nelson, a NYC Transit police officer, and Tommy, a civilian and former homeless man, were members of the MTA Connections Homeless Outreach Unit that sought to help the homeless by getting them off the streets and into various medical and counseling programs. This was challenging and often dangerous work, reaching out to the lost souls of New York’s homeless community, many of whom suffer from drug and alcohol addictions and/or mental illness (in addition to various physical ailments). Nelson and Tommy and their co-workers spent their nights in New York’s subway stations and trains, and even ventured into the perilous underworld of subway tunnels, where many people live in storerooms and utility rooms alongside the train tracks.

Going Grey Looking Great Live! – Episode #41

On October 3rd, I was broadcasting live from the Palazzo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas before a live audience of wonderfully, wild silver haired, empowered women from the 47th floor in a 2,500 sq foot suite. Unfortunately, in the middle of the live show, the hotel’s front desk decided to cut our internet connection even though they were fully aware of our live broadcast.

They had been informed and arrangements had been made days prior to the broadcast.

None the less, we were able to get back on the air after a few phone calls and finish the broadcast. I am fully aware that the quality of this show is NOT to the standards that I strive to obtain.

That having been said, and so not to disappoint the ten of thousands who listen to my show each week, I am going to post this show anyway. I have received many messages from the attendees of the GGLG convention in search of this particular show. So it’s with bumps and bruises in mind, I give you what you have asked for.

Enjoy!
