I have been blessed once again to be onsite with dear friend Tricia Andreassen of Pro Step Marketing at the CRS annual convention, Sellabration, being held this year at the Hilton in San Francisco.

Tricia and I had an amazing conversation last night. We both firmly believe that 2009 is the Year to Shine. How so? By being real with our clients, our colleagues, everyone in our lives... and first and foremost, ourselves.

This starts with a clear VISION of what we want our lives to look like. Add to that a sharp FOCUS on what choices and actions support that vision. Take good care of yourself so that you have the ENERGY to follow through on those actions. And finally, practice unconditional LOVE. Be forgiving and empathetic.

This is going to be a powerful three days in San Francisco. I am pumped!
