I have been told by Tory’s Staff that if you mention THIS LITTLE PARENT STAYED HOME your application will get top priority and scholarship opportunities.
If you are anything like me, you are determined to make a difference – for yourself, for your children, for your family, for the world. If you are the kind of woman who finds herself staying up all night because this brilliant business idea of yours just won’t go away, you may just have to join me at this conference where you’ll meet Tory Johnson.
Today Tory is the weekly Good Morning America workplace contributor, a New York Times best-selling author, and a millionaire business owner, but she hasn’t always been.
Far from it, in fact.
After being coldly FIRED from her dream job, Tory set out to build Women For Hire—a company that now has a solid presence across the nation. No deep pockets. No family connections. No special education. Just a “do-or-die” need to replace her income to support her family—fast. Now, she’s stretching her entrepreneurial muscle to help others do exactly the same.
With the all-new Spark & Hustle National Tour, Tory’s goal is simple: Provide current and aspiring small business owners with the practical strategies, real-world solutions and support that’s absolutely critical to their success. Her mission: To help YOU create the shortest possible path between your passion and the profit you seek. Our economy is in a state of unprecedented change, which has impacted businesses of all sizes and in all industries. The Spark & Hustle National Tour promises to embrace that reality by giving you ONLY those business building strategies that are proven to (still) work today, and to offer you access ONLY to those experts who are currently in the DO-ing of their business, not simply the TEACHing of their business. We’ll teach you how to avoid business errors that can have a devastating impact on your bottom-line, how to (quickly) identify and leverage new opportunities, how to solve challenges inherent in a recessionary economy and how to strengthen your packaging, pricing, and promotional efforts for income increase!
The truth is that there is MORE (not less) opportunity for the self-employed than ever before. You just need the right information, strategies, examples, and game plans to create this success for yourself. Bottom line: These events are all about RESULTS. No selling from the stage. No gimmicks. No fluff. Just the only results that matter- YOURS. So, if you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and hustle, this is one conference you – literally – can’t afford to miss!

Nearly a year ago I made a new years resolution that I would be more conscious of and limit my need to apologize for everything. Along with this new initiative, came a new desire to embrace myself without vindication for the things that make me who I am.
In my tiresome need to be liked by everyone and not to make waves where there needn’t be any, I admit I had allowed my Jewish heritage to become somewhat invisible through the years. Being Jewish in the current society had just become more trouble than it was worth. I’d married a Catholic man who had always wanted to support my traditions, but even so, celebrating my culture’s customs had become such a chore amidst a Christian holiday society. Being non-religious, I didn’t really see a need to make it a priority. As far as I was concerned there were more important things to fight for, and quite frankly, I didn’t feel like fighting anyway. So for a while I took the easy way out, jumping into the celebration of Christmas with both feet, dressing the tree, hanging the stockings and telling stories about Santa and his elves. It was so much easier to celebrate without the fear that I would be targeted. I guess you could say I conformed to fit in.
Through the years, I’d think back to Hanukah, spin a driedle or two in remembrance, but the truth is it felt a bit like I was letting a part of myself die a little. It saddened me, but I wasn’t sure of what I could do about it. The area we live in is sparsely Jewish and what little Jewish circles there were, I didn’t run in.
This year, along with swearing off my addiction to apologize, I realized I no longer wanted to deny my Jewish Heritage. Religious persecution in a less diversified suburb might have led me to choose not to worship at all, but this was no longer about religious beliefs. This was not a choice. The same way a Chinese or Italian person cannot deny their ancestry, I cannot deny mine, nor would I teach my children to deny theirs.
This year, Hanukah came earlier than Christmas, a perfect time to celebrate it without the chaos or the competition of Christmas. By gosh, I was going to take advantage! Hanukah is not yet over and already we have had a wonderful time spinning dreidels, making latkas, hiding presents, and telling the story of the Macabes and the miracle of the burning oil. In honor of my reborn heritage, my husband and I brought our boys to the Skirball Center for the Hanukah celebration this year. It was such a wonderful time for all of us!! Full of laughter and celebration. It felt like home. We learned such things such as the correct title for what most of us call a Menorah: The Hannukiah. The most wonderful revelation is how many of my non- Jewish friends and neighbors have taken part in helping me celebrate. They have set aside any preconceived notions and have seemed genuinely interested in learning about my heritage and all of its traditions. What a glorious time all of us have had!
If only I’d realized earlier the importance of pride, I would not have spent all those years being afraid to be my very self, my only self, and all the things that make me exactly who I am. I didn’t choose to have frizzy kinky hair and freckles, I did not choose to be born in a free country and I did not choose to be Jewish. But I am grateful that each of those choices were made for me.
New Years Eve is still a month away, but I already know that my resolution this year will be to embrace my birthright and honor myself in love and festivity!

How in the world do I get that???
Hello again. It is amazing, that since deciding on this very topic, I am have had so much passion in me I literally did not sleep a wink last night? Have you ever felt that pure excitement to put things and action toward the one thing that makes you truly know why you were given a life to live?
I just saw the movie The Social Network… which I knew I would love. I am a huge Aaron Sorkin fan, I believe he is our modern day Shakespeare. just everything he does is genius… don’t mean to turn this into a film review, or anything… its so easy for me to go there…
Now if you didn’t already know the movie is about facebook. The inception of it, the journey, the people affected, all of it. facebook. We all know facebook. its become an American Icon in a lot of ways and a representation of our generation.
But underneath all that- underneath the story… the movie was about PASSION. Its amazing how I chose that as our topic today and suddenly that theme has become all encompassing for me all week long. I was struck by the passion that fueled this project… this vision. When you have a vision of what is possible… there is no stopping you from getting it. That is why it is so important. Its fuel for our minds. Our brains expand and we are literally able to reach new dimensions. I believe this is where our 6th sense comes from. Our brains are capable of so much more than we actually use it for, and the best way to extend our brain ability and function further than the average brain is to feed it – passion.
And don’t you dare tell me you are not passionate about something. As a human being I do not believe it is physically possible for you not to have it deep within you somewhere. You may have not discovered it yet, but its there waiting to be discovered. Count on it.
Its one of the reasons I am always starting with the basic task of making a list. If you have not discovered your true passion and you have not made a list yet, consider why. Really… instead of making up excuses or just easily labeling it as, “I know. I am just procrastinating.”
No!! Consider for a moment why you are avoiding it.
The answer is almost always fear. Fear of discovering your passion? No. Fear of realizing you have a desire and hunger for something. A burning so intense it hurts, it aches. ewww. Well no wonder we don’t seek it. Hunger hurts and Pain Hurts and its leaves us open and vulnerable and wanting something we don’t have….
But. This. Is. Not. A. Bad. Thing! Its when your life begins to make sense. Isn’t it worth a little discomfort to discover the core of who you really are and your lifes purpose?
Want another way to discover your passion? Consider what you would do with your life if you did not need to make money to survive. Imagine you have unlimited funds. UNLIMITED. You might say “I’d travel – I’d go on vacation for the rest of my life. I’d have people wait on me hand and foot…”
yeah, that would be nice for awhile. You’d get bored. then what? what would you do? Paint? keep traveling? why? what would be calling out to you? The sites, the different cultures, the people? what can you just not get enough of. something you never get bored of. music? fitness? nutrition? what fascinates you? Why does it motivate you? Dissect it. Dig a little. don’ be afraid to get your hands dirty. Go to that place.
Whatever comes to you is what you need to explore. Do not deny yourself passion of any kind. Don’t let anyone tell you its not a wise career choice. If you are not happy in your day to day…what is the point of having a day to day?
Hope to connect with you on the show today.
