Wake Up to Your Vision

People are having fabulous breakthroughs in their Intuitive Career Reading and Healing sessions and they all look different.

If you’ve been contemplating having an Intuitive Career Reading and Healing Session, there is only 1 spot left out of the original 10 spots left from my Birthday Sale where you can save 20% on this life changing session.

Here’s what’s been happening in these sessions in just the past few days:

One person gained clarity on her mission, an online business in alignment with that mission, an idea for her first product and cleared what’s in the way of stepping into that vision– all in one session.

Another person validated that they were on the right track, got some ideas for tweaking it and cleared major gunk in the way of moving forward and making it a reality.

And another person is waking up to a vision that she hadn’t been willing to allow herself to dream about previously.

What will your breakthrough be?

Many of the people who are having readings told me they’ve been following me for a year or even several years and decided to contact me now because this Intuitive Career Reading and Healing Session really spoke to them and they are so glad they did.

The value of a single reading is 10 – 100x what you can get from reading my articles because it is all about YOU and it’s exponentially faster, more accurate and a lot less expensive than the career transition coaching model I used previously.

The deadline to receive 20% off this investment in yourself is this Thursday, May 13th so if interested, don’t dawdle, as it may be a year before I make this offer again.

The Most Extraordinary People Don't Fit In

contortion business manager in box ready to travelYou were not meant to be in a box and fit in.

You were meant to be uniquely you

And to make a splash in the big pond of life.

So splash away,

Be messy.

Allow it to cause ripples and waves —

We need more waves;

Different waves.

Waves from the heart,

Waves of  creativity,

Waves of love.

Allow it to pour forth from your soul.

And when you do

You will radiate your light into the world

And the world will be a better place as a result.

Cognitive Dissonance – Fun vs Spirituality in Business

Enjoying what you do is key to being in the flow — it is not the whole answer but is a great starting place. The person in this video is reaping the rewards of this. He is having fun at his business! What a novel concept 🙂

Where are you having fun and where is your business or career draining you? Turn up the volume on the places that are fun.

Peaceful Entrepreneur Survey Results Part I

I loved hearing what you had to say in The Peaceful Entrepreneur(TM) survey and found your feedback to be extremely interesting. There were 294 respondents. I divided the responses by current Entrepreneurs (230) and those who Wannabe (64)

One of the more interesting things to me was that people who had already taken the plunge and started their own business sleep better and believe it is possible to be both peaceful and successful than those who are sitting on the fence about whether to start their own business.

Actually it makes sense, because fence sitting is a very painful place to be. It is a place of inner conflict and turmoil and the longer you sit there, the more painful it can get. (I certainly have been there on many occasions).

So those of you have been considering starting your own business, take note.

Here is the data:

Do you believe that you can operate from a place of peace and stillness and be successful monetarily?

Entrepreneurs:

Absolutely 63.%

Conceptually, I get it but living it is questionable 34%

Wannabes

Absolutely 47%

Conceptually, I get it but living it is questionable 42%

The remainder were not sure and a very few said “no.”

I asked what gets in way of being peaceful and this was another fascinating response. The biggest thing in the way of peace for entrepreneurs is worrying about where the business will come from and then the 2nd thing in the way is procrastinating things that will bring in the biz. Ding Ding Ding. Who says we are not our worst enemies? And then the 3rd thing that gets in the way is overwhelm – just too many darn things that we can be doing and think we need to be doing.

There were many other high ranking items, but I am not going to overwhelm you with too much data at once 🙂 This seems like a pretty important place to start.

Data:

What if anything, keeps you from being a peaceful entrepreneur most of the time? Check those which seem to have the biggest impact on you:

Entrepreneurs (top 3 responses)

1. Worried about where biz will come from 53%

2. Procrastinating things that will bring in the biz 51%

3. Overwhelm 41%

This question was equally as interesting for wannabes.

The top 3 things that keep those who are considering starting a business from being peaceful are 1st: fear of trying and failing, 2nd: worried about where the business will come from and 3rd: lack of a plan.

So all of you who have been thinking about starting a business listen up; you can lie in bed and worry about what if you fail and where will the business come from or you can put together a plan. Is a plan foolproof? No, that is why I work with my peaceful entrepreneur platinum clients to but together a flexible plan, one that is in alignment with their big yes. Is it still possible to make mistakes? You bet, I’ve made lots. But rarely is a mistake critical to the future of a business. Rather it can be the turnaround point for doing something really great.

Take one minute to watch this video where Mary Brady shares the results achieved during her Peaceful Entrepreneur retreat day with me. You can see the 60 second video here.

For those of you who like to see the numbers, here they are:

What if anything, keeps you from being a peaceful entrepreneur most of the time? Check those which seem to have the biggest impact on you:

Wannabe’s (top 3 responses)

1. Fear of trying and failing 46%

2. Worried about where biz will come from 44%

3. Lack of a plan 41%

Again, there is lots more information from this survey. But I thought I would give you a few pieces to chew on. In future issues, I will be sharing more results as well as tips and support for moving past these top 3 issues and many more so you can make the impact you were meant to make in the world.

BTW, the reason I am so passionate about people becoming peaceful entrepreneurs is out of my own experience of stressing myself out unnecessarily over the years.

Am I peaceful 100% of the time? No absolutely not. I am not some guru living on a mountaintop. I am just another person like you who is learning to do things in a way that is more in alignment with my soul, one moment at a time.

How to Keep Your Idea Alive

candleinhandiStock_000001207176XSmallNew ideas are emerging — ideas that take people,  products and our planet beyond where they have been before. These ideas do not have to be complicated — most good ideas are not.

When we have a big idea whose time is coming – there is generally a resonating within us – a knowing. We may get goose bumps or chills or just want to jump out of our seat with excitement, it may bring tears to our eyes,  or a catch in our throat.

I have experienced these ideas and witnessed those ideas in my clients as well.

Often, after the excitement wears off, there is a questioning that occurs — an inner doubt.

Is this really something I am supposed to do? Will people want it? Are they ready for it? If it is such a good idea why hasn’t someone else done it yet?

My friend Jonathan Manske refers to this as “head trash”.  It is all the doubts and all the reasons to keep playing small.

When self-doubt, busyness, procrastination, etc. set in, it is easy for our great ideas to lose their sizzle and fade into the sunset.

Don’t let that happen. Big ideas require commitment. Make a decision to  go forward with your idea no matter what.  To hold that vision even when others cannot see it. To hold it  as something that has been given to you as a gift.

Do not take this gift lightly.  Do not brush it off.  Rather go forward with it one step at a time.

When we step into the next level on our path and in our business,  every old pattern that no longer serves will likely step up to be seen and to be cleared.  Look at this as an opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and s-t-r-e-t-c-h.  Look fear in the eye and say “hello”.  Do not try to squash it down as it will just get bigger.

As we move into this next level, it is likely also time to release old patterns that are holding us back, slowing us down or even making us sick.  If you are on a spiritual path,  then you may really identify with this. Some of these patterns are are ours and some we inherited from our family line or brought into this world when we were born.

Get support in releasing these old patterns  with the support of an intuitive coach or healer or learn how to release some of them yourself with Life Transformation Tools and More.

Take one step each day toward making your idea a reality.  That is how big ideas happen, one step a time.

Let me know what your vision or big idea is and I will also hold that vision with you.

How popular tweeps stay peaceful while growing their biz

I asked 4 popular tweeps and successful business people these questions.

Do you believe that maintaining a sense of inner peace is important in growing your business? If so, why is this important to you?

What is one key thing you do that helps you to maintain a sense of peace while growing your business to new heights?

The variety of answers is interesting. They are all good ideas  to consider when looking at how to become more peaceful as you grow your own business to new heights – a nice combination of going inside to get quiet and taking practical steps to stay on track. Of course I added my answer below as well. Let us know what you think and what helps you be a more peaceful entrepreneur.

And be sure to follow these tweeps on twitter to stay up with the latest news from them.

Stacey Mayo,  The Dream Queen

“Inner peace is now a part of how I define success. If I am making lots of money but am stressed out trying to keep up with it all, that is not success. It is much more fun to be peaceful and joyful while making a difference and making a good living. I choose to lead from stillness more and more.

What that means is that I get quiet and listen to what wants to be born. The One Minute Meditation is one of the tools I use to get quiet. I do not act out of impulse – at least not as much – but rather out of what resonates with me and fits with my bigger mission.  It is about taking inspired action from a place of alignment, not from a place of urgency. Rather than hurry and do something, (like we’ve all been taught, to work hard and fast), the action comes after the stillness. This is how The Peaceful Entrepreneur concept was born. If the idea that wants to be born is a big idea and outside my comfort zone, then I take the time to clear the thoughts and beliefs that cause resistance so when I act, I truly am in alignment with it and the results are more likely to manifest quickly and ea

Denise J. Hart, The Motivation Mama!

“Inner peace is absolutely important to growing a business. In fact, inner peace is essential for success in life. It’s when you become still that you are able to hear and receive with the greatest clarity. As a small business owner so many challenges can come your way and it’s through tapping into your inner peace reserve that you are able to maintain in tough situations.  Inner peace keeps a smile on your face and in your heart.

I meditate for 15 minutes every day.  Meditation helps to strengthen my internal focus and my ability to listen to my intuition. It also helps me to stay relaxed and at peace.”

Jan Masters of Everyday Joy

“I do believe that maintaining peace–and joy–in developing my business is very essential. In fact it’s a kind of ‘burn the candle at both ends’ thing for me. Creating, writing, coaching out of a peaceful place communicates a peaceful, grounded vibration to my readers, clients, students. On the other hand, my work is my path, and so when I am not so peaceful and life is squeezing me, finding my way back can often take the form of writing, coaching, teaching, and hearing the message, feeling the vibration, allowing the shift to happen within me,  within that context. It’s a circular thing for me since my humanity is my greatest asset in my work.

The key thing I do to maintain my peace in growing my business is that I keep up with my message. What I mean by that is that I am an evolving being, with new challenges and new joys every day, and new tools and strategies for dealing with them, and new understanding and integration and transformation happening all the time. I have always been one who experiences, looks for powerful energy shifting tools and processes, tries them out, and then takes the ones that are the most beautifully transformative and brings them to my market. This has kept me energized and enthusiastic and passionate, and has kept my market on the lookout knowing that they will be getting exciting new offerings from me. Everybody’s happy!”

Pam Slim, author of Escape from Cubicle Nation

“Maintaining a sense of peace while growing a business is critical because success to me means enjoying my work while I am doing it, not just evaluating the results.  If I don’t make sure I am happy and at peace, I lose my perspective, my body rebels and I become a cranky person.

This year is all about working with partners to make sure that I focus on the things I enjoy and do well.  I started a new program with three partners which has been wonderful.  I hired a virtual assistant to take lots of details off my plate, which feels amazing.”

Josh Hinds from Get Motivation

“Yes, I find it very important to be able to retreat during those times during the day when things are particularly hectic. In the course of any given day I have a large number of tasks related to larger projects which require my time, but also I have the responsibility of ensuring the smaller, some might say more mundane things are completed as well. Even in cases where these tasks have been delegated I still have to follow up and make sure they’re completed correctly and in the decided upon time. This is certainly not something that’s exclusive to my professional life, virtually everyone who might be reading this can relate to some degree….

One of the things that helps me quite a bit is to keep lists, even simple lists of the particular days most important tasks can help me stay focused & working on what’s truly most important — that is those things that I’ve determined before hand is most likely to yield the best results for me. This keeps me grounded on what I need to be focusing on, rather than running the risk of simply moving on to whatever “immediate emergency” might pop up in the moment.

Another thing I do is to take breaks (if you can schedule them all the better). There will be times where you will be so involved in a project where you just won’t want to step away from it. In some cases this is fine, but all in all I find that when I feel resistance to doing something I know I need to do, that is precisely when I would be served much better if I were willing to step away for a short period of time, or perhaps read a book or do something entirely different. Even something as seemingly simple as taking some deep breaths. Notice what I’m suggesting is far from procrastinating or putting off doing what needs to be done. Rather, I go into it telling myself that in doing so I’m recharging my internal battery a bit. Creating the necessary relaxation & balance we all need.”

Retreat Location – Villa Montalto – Peaceful Entrepreneur

I am excited to announce the location of the planning retreats with my Private Platinum Peaceful Entrepreneur clients.  Who wants to be in a stuffy boardroom without windows all day?

I wanted  something that would help my clients take on that feeling of being  a Peaceful Entrepreneur.  So check out the location  I selected. The video captures the setting in nature and the photos below the video show part of the inside of the Villa.

Are you making success too complicated?

In this column, I will be musing about different things that impact our ability to be peaceful entrepreneurs.

As human beings, we tend to make things a lot more complicated than they need to be.  I’d actually go a step farther and say that we tend to undervalue things unless they are complex, hard or take lots of effort. This certainly will detract from being a Peaceful Entrepreneur ™

I am taking a class right now with Kristen and David Morelli. And the energy technique they are using is so simple, that my first thoughts were to dismiss it.  I found myself thinking “I hope this is not the only tool they are going to teach us.” And for the first couple of times using this tool, I did not see great results.  But when I let go of the resistance and the thought that this could not work, the impact it has had on me has been incredibly powerful.

The same is true for our businesses. Where in your business are you making things too complicated or dismissing a simple idea or tool?

Take a minute now and do The One Minute Meditation ™ to get some clarity.  This is another very simple tool that is very powerful. So be careful not to dismiss it.

Consider it a gateway to increased clarity, creativity and intuition.  Could any of that help in your business?  And remember, according to Law of Attraction,  you will attract more of what you desire from that place of allowing.  And to allow we must be relaxed.  So take a minute to relax now.

If you’ve never done The One Minute Meditation ™,  I teach you how to do it in this short video. Set  the intention to get clarity on where you are making things too complicated before doing it. Then let go and allow.  The answer will show up now or later.  You have set the wheels in motion with your intention and you let go when you take the time to get centered in your body and be still.

Be sure to do this s -l-o-w-l-y to get the results you desire.
