So la da di da di, we like to “shut up.” Dancing with Phil and Berni. Doing whatever we want. This is our house. This is our rules. And we can’t “shut up.” And we won’t “shut up.”
Sorry… I just had to do that since Phil’s #Twerking was the highlight of 2013.
As we close out the year and start anew, what are you excited for in 2014? What went well or not so well in 2013? How will you take those lessons into the new year to propel you forward? Check out today’s backstage episode as Phil and I share what we both look forward to for our lives, businesses and this show in 2014.
Share Some Shut Up Love –> The year is coming to an end, but we’re not hitting reset. @PhilGerb on @_TheShutUpShow #shutupshow (click to tweet)
Shut Up Tips:
I don’t look back, I look forward and to what’s next. – Phil
Celebration is important because if we don’t, we never feel complete. – Phil
I’m an awesome starter and I suck sometimes at finishing. This year, I built in a lot of accountability. – Phil
At this point I do feel like it’s 99.9% business. That scares me because I fear neglecting people and things that truly matter to me because I’m so focused on being an entrepreneur. – Berni
I’m a simple, average gal from Wisconsin who thought, “Hey, you know what? There’s this opportunity to help people less fortunate than me, why not?” – Berni
We think we have it bad at times. And then we take a look at what’s going on in the greater world around us and realize it’s really not that bad after all. So now, what can I do to help and serve other people? – Berni
If you take an action and you impact anybody else, you’re exceptional. You’re not average. – Phil
Think beyond yourself and stop being average. Average people sit on their ass and complain about how much the world sucks. Instead, step up and make a difference. – Phil
Take that can of awesome and move forward. Pour it all over yourself and celebrate. And then say I can do it again. – Phil
Our goal with The SHUT UP Show is to make a difference in the lives of smart entrepreneurs and small business owners. To let them know they’re not alone. – Phil
