GUESS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I ASKED?

Whipster,

This past week I was at Rock the World NYC (an AMAZING experience, by the way) and had the opportunity to hear JJ Ramberg (MSNBC) and Amanda Steinberg (Daily Worth) speak. They were phenomenal. Inspiring. I felt like I was on top of the universe!

And both of these women were on my dream list of people whose endorsements I want for my book, Think Like a Stripper: How to Hustle Like You Mean It. I knew I had to take advantage of the opportunity and ask – right then and there – for the endorsement. I was nervous, a bit shaky and I also knew that if I didn’t seize the moment how could I be your Whip Leader? So I proceeded, wearing my love-and-awe cocktail on my sleeve.

And guess what?

They both said yes!

And that’s what hustling is: It’s asking. It’s about finding the opportunities that are going to create other opportunities for you to increase your sales, your revenue, your business, your life. It’s opening doors for yourself.
Because if you don’t do it, it’s not going to get done.

But when you decide it’s time and you get out there and hustle like you mean it, doors start swinging open in your direction everywhere you look.

And then?

It all gets done. Simply and elegantly.

(Hey, has anyone told you that you look really great on that red carpet you’re standing on? ‘Cause you do.)

Kisses + Whippings,
 
P.S., Hustle Your Business Boot Camp is sold out. Want to get extremely, ridiculously good at opening doors for yourself? Then hurry, darling and get on the red-hot list for August 2012.

All of my attention + brilliance lavished exclusively on YOU, so you can get
out of survival mode and into expansive luxury mode. (This glorious,

Go here to spoil your business! 

 

 

BOOBS, BRAS, + BUSINESS HUSTLING

Whipster,

Heads up! If you were thinking about signing up for Hustle Your Business Boot Camp, you’d better do it now! I’m down to my last spaces. If you’ve always been icked out by selling but have finally realized that hustling is everything, then jump! (Yeah, just like David Lee Roth said.) Get in and start making bank, NOW!

Now for some boobs, bras + business hustling…

Selling is no different from buying a bra. Because the entire exercise revolves around one thing: Is it a good fit? A bra that doesn’t fit is useless, and the same goes for any kind of business partnership—including the selling/buying partnership.

As a consumer, you wouldn’t dream of grabbing the first bra you saw, tossing it down on the counter, and forking over your hard-earned cash, right? Right. You check sizes, styles, brands. You think about what clothes you’ll wear over it. You try on a bunch of them, check yourself out from every angle, make sure nothing digs, pinches, pokes, squeezes, lumps, spills.

And as a hustler, you wouldn’t try to sell a bra to someone who doesn’t need one. (Or, you know, to someone who doesn’t have boobs.) You would get a few basic things out of the way first: Does that person have boobs? Yes. Does she have boobs that require a bra? Yes. Okay! Time to see if she likes the bras I’m selling!

You want maximum support and maximum comfort out of your business partnerships.

Taking a little time to find out whether there is a need, and then whether there is a want, will save you a lot of time, energy, and headaches. And it will earn you some seriously loyal clients.

Because one thing EVERYONE loves is a gorgeous, great-fitting bra.

Kisses + Whippings,
 
P.S., Don't miss the chance to take your business from so-so to SUPERNOVA. Hustle Your Business Boot Camp won't be offered again until late summer 2012!

THE BEST-KEPT SECRET
INTERNET MARKETING BABES DON'T TELL YOU

Whipster,

Real quick: The next Hustle Your Business Boot Camp kicks off on Sunday April, 29^th. If you are willing to do the work, you will massively boost your business confidence. Here’s what one business babe had to say about it:

"Hustle Your Business Boot Camp is hands down, stiletto heels up the absolute best training I’ve been through. 

I don’t say this lightly, either. I’ve spent over five figures in coaching + training in the past two years, and NOTHING approaches the value, insights and butt-kicking motivation I’ve gotten. NOTHING.

Erika’s experience, no-nonsense approach and the high-powered group atmosphere are beyond worth the price of admission. I’ve already seen more results in the first four weeks than I have in the past six months!" – Jennifer Peek, Creative Business Strategist + Small Business Coach.

Join us! And learn exactly what you need to do to make a ton of cash doing what you love!

All right. Time to spill the beans.

There are some truly amazing internet marketers out there. The women I’m thinking about have phenomenal products and services. Their offerings are life-changing. They are supernovas! My respect and admiration for them is massive.

And they all have one thing in common (other than being mega-smart babes).

Give up?

They are all awesome hustlers. Every single one of them.These women are some of the best hustlers on the planet! You just don’t reach that level of expertise or get that kind of cash + clout if you’re not hustling hard no matter how incredible your internet marketing skills are.

And that’s one of the biggest secrets most internet marketers don’t talk about:  The absolute necessity of building your hustling confidence. You can have every single information product out there. You can be up on all the tips and tricks and ideas on the planet.

But if you do not deliver with confidence, ask for the dance with confidence, and believe 100% in your products and services, the knowledge you’ve collected ain’t worth squat.

Truth: A killer marketing course will NOT help you with your hustling confidence.

Pay closer attention, and you’ll realize that the golden thread that runs through all of them is something that starts with an H, ends with and E and sounds like “USTL.”

Because hustling is everything. Once you can do it, you can do anything.

Including going supernova.

Kisses + Whippings,
 
P.S., Was that an epiphany I just heard? Did you think of ONE way hustle would totally change your game? Or just one way you could start hustling right NOW? Sashay over to the Daily Whip Facebook page and join the other fancy business ladies having epiphany after epiphany!

ARE YOU WILLING TO WORK THE CORNER?

Gorgeous Whipster,

I want to tell you about someone who completely embodies the attitude + commitment required to become a mega-success.

His name is Ido Leffler, and while this may be the first time you’ve heard of him, I guarantee it won’t be the last.

Storytime!

Last summer, my sister-in-law gave me a sample of Yes To Carrots™ Super Rich Body Butter. I wasn’t familiar with the brand, but once I tried that body butter? I became OBSESSED. (It’s amazing. I will talk your ear off about it if you let me. And probably even if you don’t.)

Anyway, several months later, I get an invite to attend an event in Minneapolis, and guess who the speaker is? Yes To Carrots™ co-founder Ido Leffler!

He talked about all the struggles he’s faced on the path to becoming the #2 brand in its category – and let me tell you, there have been PLENTY. I was utterly, completely, on-the-edge-of-my-seat riveted, as he told his incredible story.

Time after time after time, he ran into situations in which when it would have been completely logical for him to pack it all up, go home, pull the sheets over his head, and cry his eyeballs out.

But he didn’t. He tried again. And again. And again. Because he believed in his product.

In fact, he confessed that he was so passionate, so 100% committed to making the very best product possible and getting it out to the world, he’d decided early on that he would have no issue at all with hustling his products on street corners.

Because he knew they were that good.

And he made it very clear, from the way he told his story, that this wasn’t just lip service: It was his life. He had committed to creating a top-notch product of extraordinary quality, and he was equally committed to getting it into the hands of the right people. Well, enough of the right people liked it that Yes To Carrots™ is now the #2 natural body care company on the market, right after Burt’s Bees.

Incredible, right?

Wrong. He just didn’t give up too soon.

The problem that I see, over and over again, is that so many of you give up way too soon. The truth is, you don’t know where that finish line is! It could be around the next corner or around the next fifty corners. But without that bone-deep, soul-aching level of commitment, you won’t ever get to find out, will you?

So. Is your soul aching? Can you feel that commitment deep in your bones?

Would you be willing to work the corner to make your red carpet dream come true?

(Big, tough questions. But then, you’re a big tough girl.)

Kisses + Whippings,
 
P.S., Don’t forget, the next Hustle Your Business Boot Camp starts on April 29! (It’s perfect for business babes who are committed to working the corner, but want to learn to do it right!)

TRANSCENDING TRANSACTIONS

 
Whipster,

In the strip club, EVERYTHING was transactional. You give me x; I give you y; end of story. There was no such thing as a client list. Ninety percent of the customers I saw, I never saw again. Not once.

I learned a million tricks that made me really good at transactional selling – in fact, there were times when some customers would pay me to go away and not come back. (For twenty bucks, I was happy to do it.)

But commercial real estate was different, as I pretty quickly realized. The transactional tricks that had served me so well in the club were not super useful outside of it.

So I learned a new set of rules, a new set of tricks, and I got really good at working with those (in fact my average occupancy rate was 98% – even during the height of the recession!).

When my career shifted yet again to coaching (and whipping) full time, I knew that my new arena was even less transactional. It was no longer a numbers game.

Now? I had to learn to build long-lasting relationships. I had to completely transcend the concept of transactions, open my heart, step up to my viewpoints and make myself vulnerable to those rotten tomatoes.

This sounds backwards, but it’s true: Because the world gets smaller every day, you have to keep a bigger and bigger picture in mind. It’s not just one hand washing the other anymore!

It’s how you do the small things, the big things, and the in-between things. It’s going above and beyond, just because. It’s seeing past the small, tightly-controlled, tit-for-tat mentality that relegates you to life as a bean-counter.

Zoom up!

One perfect example of a business that’s transcended transactions: Zappos. 

They’ve built their reputation on the idea that if they focus on their values, everything else will fall into place. And their big goal has always been to provide the best customer service possible. Period.

Did spending five hours on the phone with one client (their longest on record!) bring them any immediate cash? What about sending flowers to the customer who called in about returning a pair of shoes her husband had ordered, because he’d just died in an accident – did that up their cash levels, all on its own?

Of course not! But it’s that kind of behavior that’s earned them crazy-loyal fans, and crazy-loyal fans have no problem spending money! (By the way, Tony Hsieh, if you’re reading this? I LOVE your company and you get A LOT of my money!)

So what I’m saying is: This ain’t no strip club. This is real life on a very small planet, where reputation and transparency are everything. You need to treat your customers like you adore them. And if you don’t adore your customers, we soooo need to talk!

Out with the tit-for-tat! Transcend transactions.

Your bank account will thank you. Almost as much as your heart will.

Kisses + Whippings,


 
P.S. Hustle Your Business Boot Camp is now open for registration. If you want to get over your fear of selling – and I know you do – then hurry! I won’t be teaching this course again until late summer 2012.

A Change Will Do You Good :: Important Morning Whip Announcement

Women of the Whip! 

I’m changing things up. Re-prioritizing. Shifting. Shedding.

There’s a lot of really good stuff coming up, and I can’t wait to share it with you!

For now, what I can tell you is this: Morning Whip will not be offered in June (and honestly I don’t know when the next time it will be happening).

That’s right. Things are brewing in the background, so if you were going to procrastinate on whipping UP your empire until June, I’d recommend that you head on over to Morning Whip and sign up today.

In the meantime? You can still expect the same whipped goodness from yours truly: Business confidence + business clarity + business CA$H.

But soon, this sweet baby’s going SUPERNOVA.

Meet you in the stars!
 
 Kisses + Whippings,

P.S. Free Whippings are no longer available unless you are already on the official wait list (yes, I’m cruel like that) and if you are, keep a close eye on your inbox. You just might be receiving a final invitation soon...

PLANETARY SUPERHEROES + ROTTEN TOMATOES

 

Darling fancy ladies,

Have you always known you were meant for big things?

You love to shake up the status quo + cause positive shifts on the planet.

You were destined for planetary good.

You were born this way!


And yet, you’re terrified at not making money doing what you really love.

You’re terrified of being rejected and having your heart broken open.

You’re terrified of looking like a fool, because who do you think you are, really?


If this is you, then keep reading.


I’m looking for planetary superheroes in the making!


What if you were so clear about your business revolution  that you didn’t care

about making money?

And you laughed at rejection?

And embraced looking like a fool?

What if you even welcomed rotten tomatoes being thrown at you?

You know you’re on the verge of something really, really big.

And the only thing that will make you a fool is

to not join me on April 1.


I’m so committed, so clear, about the fact that I’m here to help you  build your

business confidence, clout and cash, that I welcome you to throw rotten

tomatoes at me. (But please, organic heirlooms only!)


What could you do in your life if you had the same commitment as me?

If you were able to stand firmly on shaky ground, knowing that even when you fell

down, you’d get back up, because your life is no longer just about you?


Do you know what happens when you live your life like that?

Everything. 

Dreams come true.

The greatest movers and shakers on the planet, are people who are planetary

superheroes.

They laugh – they LAUGH! – in the face of rejection.

They risk looking like fools.

They embrace the rotten tomatoes, and they’re not terrified that they won’t make

money. They’re willing to lose it all, in fact, because they know they’ll make it all

back.


So are you ready to finally interrupt your business as usual and get your

empire whipped?


Then join me April 1. I can’t wait to meet you bombshell.


Kisses + Whippings,

 

 

 

 

P.S. I hope that you believe in you as much as I believe in you. I cannot want

this more than you.

I COME WITH A WARNING LABEL. DO YOU? 

Whipster,

Warning labels have gotten a bad reputation. I think it’s because they sometimes make pretty stupid appearances. (Do you really need a warning label to spell out the fact that the hot coffee you just bought is, in fact, hot? I mean, really.)

I’d like to make a modest proposal. Let’s use warning labels to make interacting with people easier, smoother, and more pleasant.

Why am I so confident that this is a good idea?

Because I actually use my own warning label when it comes to hiring employees, vendors, subcontractors, and freelancers. I want to know that someone can handle me – I am the full package, bells, whistles, bows, ribbons, etc. And I’ve found that when someone understands where I’m coming from that they understand why I do what I do.

Here’s what my warning label looks like.

What you need to know about me ::

:: I change my mind on a dime. What was the A-plan yesterday may be the sh*t-plan today. Until I know something makes me money I keep the strategy flowing.

:: I’m collaborative. So you may send me something and then I may send it to other peeps for feedback and to change it up. So if you’re attached to it being your way, we won’t work out.

:: I pay my bills. On time. Always.

:: I’m not cheap. And I’m a boot-strapper.

:: I like frank feedback. I dish it out. And I can take it too.

:: I move fast. Keep up.

:: I’m organized. Mostly.

:: I need fast communication turnaround time (preferably within 4 hours).

:: I work on the weekends and evenings. And appreciate if you are available for questions or if I have an emergency.

This is what I send to people when I’m embarking on new business with them. And do you know what? It saves TONS of time and loads of misunderstandings. No apologies needed, no awkward conversations, no need to clarify. It’s right there, BAM!, in black and white (or whatever the verbal equivalent is), and there’s no need to stumble over it.

How much time, energy and money would you save if you didn’t have to sweat this kind of detail? I’m going to go ahead and say a LOT!

So go on, take ten minutes and put together your own warning label. Clear up time, headaches, and energy-sapping social acrobatics. You are who you are. Own it, and get on with building your empire.
