Best of Ready. Aim. Empire: The Art of Conscious Communication and Money Conversations with Mary Shores

“Money.”

Talk about a trigger word.

For some, it sparks joy, for others, it unleashes a flood of doubt, fear, frustration, confusion, and/or sadness. 

For this throwback episode, we’re sitting down with Mary Shores, the best-selling author of Conscious Communication, creator of Words that Work and the founder of Midstate Collection Solutions.

From her strong foundation in founding a debt collection agency (no easy job to say the least…then consider she started this business at 24 years old!), she’s refined her conscious communications strategies in a way that works in a variety of settings. 

Whether you want to strengthen your staff to client communications, internal relations between your team members, or even within your household with your kids, Mary’s insights on shift your thoughts, words, and actions into alignment are life- and business-changing. 

In this episode you’ll learn: 

  • The amazing story of how Mary came to be the youngest person in the country to open a debt collections company {at only 24 years old}
  • How to see the opportunities around you and position your mindset to be accepting of them
  • Trigger words around debt and how they can affect you and your clients 
  • Mary’s top tips on dealing with customers or clients who owe you money
