Institute of Success and Goal Achievement guest Tiffany Wright
Boy did I take a lot of notes!
Tiffany Wright is a walking encyclopedia about raising capital for your small business (or, large business – the principles are the same). Tiffany is the author of Solving the Capital Equation: Financing Solutions for Small Businesses. This book came from answering her clients’ questions over the past few years, so you know it is full of info that you want to know.
If you’re a small business owner or entrepreneur then this interview is a must! Have you ever wondered if you had enough working capital to cover your expenses for the next few months? What about how you will fund that really great project that will certainly bring you loads of revenue? Is there financing out there for you? What are your options? Can you easily get it?

Institute of Success and Goal Achievement guest Rich Hopkins
If you listened to the interview with Rich Hopkins then you know about the phrase, “Love that New Foot Smell” . . .
Which makes you wonder a few things, such as: “What did the old foot smell like?” “New foot – just where can I get one of those?” and “OK, is that a metaphor, or are we really talking about a new foot?”
As Rich explains, yes, he does have a new foot to replace one that just wasn’t working despite years of trying to make the best of it. (Rich described it as his “Titanium Upgrade”, and I pictured the movie “Robots” that my kids like to watch.) He also uses this as a metaphor in his public speeches because often, we are afraid to let go of status quo despite how good things will be once we decide to move on. While the status quo might be “acceptable”, it often gets in the way of what might be “exceptional”.
Rich Hopkins had tons of interesting content during this interview, including his success story (which included the real truth about his foot), ideas for moving from Acceptable to Exceptional (and why this is important), plus – some great insights from his success as a speaker – he continues to make the Nationals in the Toastmasters competitions.

Progress, not Perfection
* This was first published as part of April’s i-saga newsletter called “Create Your Story”. You can find more information at www.i-saga.net/newsletter.phpWhile still young, i-saga is moving from its early phases to become more mature. Much like a young adult, this organization has a lot of energy and excitement, but also tons of room to grow to reach its full potential.
As I’ve learned (and am still learning) in all areas of my life, it’s important to follow a philosophy of “Progress, not Perfection”. The Institute of Success and Goal Achievement has followed this well, and as a result has been building a great resource for the rapidly growing community. I love the quote from Winston Churchill, “Waiting for perfection breeds paralysis”. Thank goodness I managed to “just start”, despite knowing that i-saga was far from perfect in its early days.
When I did start the Institute of Success and Goal Achievement, it had what I would consider a sub-par website and insufficient content. I had a vision of where I was going but didn’t have everything lined up perfectly how I wanted them. I could have delayed … and delayed … and delayed until everything was perfect before scheduling that first guest interview, but I knew in my gut and in my heart that it was time to stop making excuses and get i-saga launched even if all the support wasn’t where I wanted it.
