February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partn February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partnered with @MedIQCME and Duke Health to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation (AFib), also known as irregular heartbeat which affects 12 million people.My father was diagnosed with AFib and my family has a history of this condition, so I do my best to learn as much as I can about it.

I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

Top 5 Takeaways from the #MyAvonStory Twitter Chat with Jen Groover


Jen Groover AVON Twitter Chat

Disclosure: As a paid Blogger Ambassador for Avon, I will be discussing many aspects of Avon’s brand; from the entrepreneurial side, to career, to beauty tips, Avon staples, and more in a series of posts. The opinions in these articles are mine and are not indicative of the brand.

Last Wednesday, I participated in the #MyAvonStory Twitter Chat hosted by entrepreneur and QVC host Jen Groover. The discussion was all about Gaining Confidence and Independence with your Business, and was the first of three AVON Twitter Chats in their You Make it Beautiful series.

Avon Brand AmbassadorJen Groover gave so many helpful tips about getting your confidence up when you are starting out on your own in business. I know firsthand how tough it can be trying to launch and run a business of your own—add to that your other responsibilities and it can be a little much. Your confidence and independence can weaken if you aren’t prepared. And Jen has some great ingredients to help you develop your secret sauce.

I will share with you my Top 5 Takeaways from the #MyAvonStory Twitter Chat:

Takeaway #1: Value, face fears, lead

To start, here are my 3 key tips for finding confidence w/ your business: value self-respect; face your fears; lead by example #MyAvonStory

— Jen Groover (@jengroover) November 19, 2014

Having self-respect and valuing it can go a long way when you are an entrepreneur. When you add that to facing your fears, it makes you unstoppable. Then you are able to lead my example, being a light for others who also want to shine. It’s a synergy that can do wonders for yourself and others.

Takeaway #2: Step out of your comfort zone

A result of low confidence is inaction – when we hesitate, we hold back. Break out of that comfort zone & try something new! #MyAvonStory

— Jen Groover (@jengroover) November 19, 2014

This resonated with me, because all of 2014, I’ve been playing it safe. And it shows. In 2012 and 2013, I was breaking new ground. This year, I got comfortable. Jen Groover gave me an a-ha moment—you need to break out of your comfort zone in order to grow. It can also help you build your confidence, which I need for my business.

Takeaway #3: Be a leader. Do BOSS things

Great leaders need to know how to build others’ confidence as well. They don’t tear others down.#MyAvonStory

— Jen Groover (@jengroover) November 19, 2014

Real leaders help others tap into their potential. They aren’t mean girls, or unhelpful. Never treat others poorly to make yourself look better. Because you won’t ever look better. Real beauty comes from helping others.

Takeaway #4: Ask for help

Never be afraid to ask for advice no matter what stage of your career. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness #MyAvonStory

— Jen Groover (@jengroover) November 19, 2014

This is another one I struggle with. There’s nothing wrong with asking for advice or help, no matter where you are in life. Success begets success. Never stop learning or growing, as those are keys for continued success.

Takeaway #5: It’s a journey

Entrepreneurship is a journey of self-transformation.

— Jen Groover (@jengroover) November 19, 2014

When Jen dropped this gem, I had an epiphany. I often thought of entrepreneurship as my career. But it’s not a static thing. It is constantly moving and evolving, the same way I am. It’s a part of me and I am a part of it. It’s a journey.

If you missed out on the #MyAvonStory Twitter Chat, I urge you to go through the hashtag and pick out your own takeaways. The conversation was diverse and we were all chiming in, telling our stories.

The next #MyAvonStory Twitter Chat with Jen Groover will take place on 12/18 at 12:30 pm EST. The topic is earning an income on your own terms. I will have more details about the event as it gets closer.
