My Word for 2016: Expansion

January 1, 2016 by Danyelle Little

Since moving forward as a displaced career woman turned Mompreneur and Digital Debutante, I have selected a word of vision as I move into a new year. For 2016, the stakes are higher, and so are my goals. Because of this journey and the steps taken to get here, I am living a life I never knew I could. But not one for complacency or comfortability, I want to up the ante once and again and challenge myself to embark on new soil. So after a lot of thought and careful self-reflecting, I’ve chosen expansion as my word for 2016.

Why expansion?

Merriam Webster defines expansion as the act of becoming bigger or making something bigger. I want to super size my ambition, and in doing that, create more opportunities that I can spread my wings creatively and professionally. I want to add more titles to my name. I want to truly gamble on something that could be a game changer. But most of all, I want to help other working parents thrive, grow, and succeed.

So what does expansion look like to me, you may ask.

Here are a few examples of just some of the plans I have for the upcoming year (I am listing these not out of ego, but for accountability):

Cut My Mic Off Please.

November 16, 2015 by Danyelle Little

I’ve come to realize that now that I am 40, even though I am a huge people person with a strong and vibrant outgoing personality, I am very much a loner.

I enjoy truly spending time by myself (I think it’s the only child in me). Some people think this is because I am standoffish or stuck up, self-centered, or just insensitive, but I like my space. I like having time to myself. I spend so much time “on” with my blog and online business endeavors, that when I get an opportunity to unplug for real, it’s cut my mic off please time.

We’ve got to remember this as we go about our daily lives running our empires. In our quest to be the hottest thing on the web, we can forget that it’s okay to go somewhere and be quiet for awhile. Everyone will be there when you get back, and you will have a chance to make much needed logged-off moments. If someone really needs you, they will reach out to you. And if you miss something, you can totally catch up when you log back in.

What’s Your Price?

August 13, 2015 by Danyelle Little

When helping people with their personal brands and creating a digital movement, I often ask my clients to begin with their PRICE.

It is a tool that you can use to truly delve into how you want to do business, who you want to attract, as well as who or what you can lend value to. PRICE doesn’t have so much to with the actual charging of services that you will be conducting, but more about the overall foundation of how you will do business.

Let’s delve into it a little more.

10 Reasons Why Failing Works

August 5, 2015 by Danyelle Little

At any given time, you can search the web and read hundreds of thousands articles and stories about entrepreneurs and careerists who are sharing their success secrets. What we as the end user sees is often the glossy part of their story. The red carpets, the adoration, the riches, the vacations—I could go on and on. But what we don’t see is the not so good days that they had to get to where they are today. The rejections, the slammed doors in their faces, the chase. One thing most of these stories have in common as that at one time or another, they failed. And it was in that failure that they learned and the took it and flipped it.

I, too, was a failure.

I, too, still fail.

Failing is the physical result of trying out your ideas. And it also can act as a blueprint to help propel you to heights you’ve only dreamt of.

Are you with me?

Here’s a list of 10 reasons why failing works. And why failing is important for reaching your ultimate potential and greatness.
