We all love technology…well, at least most of the time. But there is no question that we have all become a mobile obsessed world and our habits of communication have changed dramatically in recent years. Whether it’s walking down the street or through the store the majority of people that I observe have their noses or their ears tuned to their mobile device and not the world around them. So what are we missing? Well perhaps that most impacted generation is our children who watch this behavior and have no basis of comparison to know whether it’s good or bad. What is your toddler or baby learning when sitting behind you in the car and you are texting while driving down the road? What are they feeling when you are talking on the phone while grocery shopping and not paying attention to their needs? And what are they learning about communication when at home you are tethered to your device and respond like it’s an electrode channeled to your fingertip? This and more is what I’ll be discussing today with my guest Blythe Lipman. Blythe is the host of Baby and Toddler Instructions, author of Help! My Baby Came Without Instructions and her new book Help! My Toddler Came Without Instructions. Blythe Is also a publisher, teacher, caregiver, consultant, keynote, blogger and of course, a baby and toddler expert! She is the owner and CEO of Baby Instructions in Scottsdale, Arizona.

On Philippa Rowlands Presents Beautiful Business radio we connect with your business, your work in the world, and your business vision through story and a fabulous meditation to connect to your body intelligence. I share a parable, a favorite story that is filled with hope and daring and a little fear and sadness, but also poignant and oh so relevant to life and business. Listen with your body, mind and spirit and allow your awareness to connect with your physical reactions as you listen. As I talk about the story I get the urge to give the gift of an exercise, a guided visualization, an exploration of your body as part of your business compass. We discover how your body intelligence can help you develop and live into your awakening life vision and your awakening business vision. This is a valuable and helpful exercise that supports the messages in the story and supports your move into a beautiful business. Enjoy Love and Blessings Philippa

There is more and more research being done on our behaviors online. It is no surprise that who you are as a person reflects through in your posts, tweets and updates as well as your uploads and downloads. But what does it mean for business?

Instruments like DISC and Myers-Briggs have been used for years to identify personality and behavior, but now you can tie those results directly to social media. Beth Carter will be sharing her own insights on what the studies show and how DISC and social media patterns can be used to know more about your clients, customers, friends, followers, and connections.

Behind every successful parent entrepreneur are MORE parent entrepreneurs supporting, encouraging, and nurturing them. There has never been a better time for moms and dads to claim their place in society and earn their way to freedom. You better believe that YOUR CHOICE to be self-employed is making a significant difference for your children and the future that awaits them. Today there is a greater ability to connect with one another than in any past generation. Thanks to our unlimited virtual information sources... (social media platforms and the ability to carry it all around with you in a hand-held mobile device) gone are the days of the lonely house parent who's grown-up intelligence turns to mush from lack of stimulation. We have resources! HURRAH!!! =) =) There is a science behind all of this and when closely examined, it equals progress. It should come as no surprise that we are all --every one of us-- motivated by the exact same thing: The love we have for our children. We may be activated through different passions, career aspirations and lifestyle visions, but the driving force is still the same. Therefore...we MUST share the same philosophy. You MUST believe that there is a force that binds us all together. Not one of us will dispute that our families are worth the sacrifices that we make every day. YOU possess a powerful spirit. It was born on the same day your child was born... it's a determination that keeps us bound together as parents and visionaries. It's the same spirit that helped us to create and nurture our children, it's the reason we are BETTER TOGETHER, and why we should never allow things like LONLINESS, LACK OF INFORMATION or FEAR of the unknown become the unfortunate guiding force. Deep down that EMPOWERED SPIRIT is always there... and we can USE it to our advantage--- to step out of our comfort zone, apply for a business loan, or call up an intimidating client to close the deal. DO NOT deny this spirit!! You don't want your children to settle for mediocrity, so why accept that for yourself? Let go of those limiting beliefs and you will achieve a better perspective in all you do. If you are truly ready to be in a better reality, you must be willing to see things differently than in the past. Negative illusions might be holding you back from knowing that it is a grand thing just to be alive. More than that, it could be preventing you from broadcasting a powerful message to the world that only you were meant to deliver. If you are truly ready to become a pioneer, then you must be willing to invest more into your creative core. Make the world a little brighter.... more colorful... more magnificent. You owe it to the world to put your ideas into action! It's moms and dads LIKE YOU who started out with nothing more than a vision...and they FLAT OUT REFUSED to deny the world of their greatness and insane determination to be cutting edge. It's YOUR creations that will inspire millions more. There is tremendous value in living in the moment - in treasuring every trial and tribulation and having pride in your "war wounds". We learn through struggle. We become stronger each time we fall down. We gain valuable insight by DOING - much more than listening to others tell us HOW TO DO IT. Use your creative force to thrive on these endeavors. Today I will be introducing you to Michelle Van Otten, a transformation "Breakthru coach" who will be sharing with us how to use our uniqueness as parents and entrepreneurs to create MAGNETISM and the "it factor" in yourself and in your brand... no matter what you are "selling" to the world! =) =)
