Relaunch - Never Give Up On Your Possibilities

Although today’s guest has run a successful home-based business for 18 years, she’ll be the first to tell you that she has had her share of doubts. “I was tempted more than once to take the safe and practical road by joining the ranks of the corporate cubicle dwellers after years of self-employed freedom and flexibility. But that’s not a life suited for me. I longed for personal growth, independence and the kind of creative living that can only be found as an entrepreneur. I can’t help it; the entrepreneurial spirit is in my blood.” Founder of the International Christian Mompreneur Network, Theresa Ceniccola joins us and shares the professional blastoff ReLaunch! she set up up for herself after the economy went south, clients left, and baby number three was here. Theresa’s best advice for ReLaunch! You are never trapped; Embrace imperfection; Sample from many plates; Don’t worry about getting all your ducks in a row; Lean on God.

She landed right in the middle of her childhood dream, to work in the music business. And, while the nine years spent in that industry were fun, exciting, and personally fulfilling, she recognized (over time) that the spiritual restlessness she felt was really a signal for her to move on and explore other venues and other opportunities.

If you've ever heard this man speak, you would quickly agree that Bob Burg  is one of the most gracious and thoughtful people that have ever graced a platform. The verbal mixture of sincerity and practicality softens any stage and endears the hearts of worldwide audiences.

On the show, The Go Giver himself, Bob Burg talks openly about his early-in-life battles with OCD (in his own words - debilitating), gossiping, and negativity.

While she had one of most successful teaching studios in the city (she taught classical guitar), she felt conflicted - the strong urge to shift her business focus and the fear of losing her existing students.

In her early 40's, every area of her life was in transition - health, career, and relationship. Busy and successful as a graphic designer, she became more and more distant from herself and her instincts; coping through the ups and downs by reacting and shutting down.

While Costco was a good gig for him during his first half, climbing the ladder and earning a check, it was incomplete.

When her son got back from a leisurely jog, he complained of a dull pain in his hip. Within months, the 14 year-old, basketball-playing, fun-loving boy, was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma - bone cancer.

Like many seasoned professionals and entrepreneurs, he reached a point in his career where he wasn't making the difference he wanted. It's not that his career plateaued, "Things weren't terrible," as he points out, he just had a burning desire to do more and be more.
