Let’s Talk Money, Honey! Free Masterclass

May 7, 2014 by Lamisha

The month of March was AMAZING for so many reasons and while I didn’t share this info with you while it was going on, it’s important for me to tell you about a course I took that changed my life. (I’m a Leo and can be kinda dramatic sometimes, but this is for real.)

The amazingly talented Isis Arjeta put together a money manifestation course that was entirely centered around loving your money and changing the dysfunctional story and relationship many of us have with money. In short, it was the single best investment I have made this year!

And since it was a little woo-woo with meditations, hypnosis tracks, and lots of wonderful money-mindset practices it isn’t necessarily your typical money course. We didn’t talk about budgets, income, numbers, calculations, or any of the left brain stuff you might hear from financial planners and bank professionals.

This course was all about mindset, emotions, and releasing all the negative programming we tend to have when it comes to money.

This was such a powerful course that even before the course officially began, Isis shared a few very simple tips to bringing in more income and abundance and within 2 days I began seeing it in action.

Example: One morning after I had just gotten my car fixed, I decided to stop for a cup of coffee. In the drive-thru line I was feeling pure gratitude for having the money to get the repairs done and for getting to the shop safely (it was a pretty dangerous situation) and when I pulled up to the window to pay, the woman told me the person in front of me had paid for my drink. Now, this has happened to me a few times over the last few months, but NEVER has it happened on a Saturday morning. Sure, it was only a $3.00 order, but I received an immediate response from my pure gratitude and love for what my money did for me (paid to fix my car). This was just the beginning.

A week later I received not one, but TWO unexpected checks in the mail that amounted to $1100 in unexpected income!!! That’s a lot of unexpected money to come in the mail. I also received a gift card for $5.00 unexpectedly along with several other unexpected checks/payments. Like I said, March was AMAZING!

So why am I telling you all this?

I’m telling you because I talk to clients about money all the time. Incidentally most of my clients are business owners or business-minded women who are looking for more freedom to do the things they love, so money comes up a lot. I am not a financial adviser or a money manager, but I work with clients to help change their money story and open their minds to all the wonderful ways money can show up for them that is outside the traditional 9-5 job. And with the experience I had in Isis’s money manifestation course, I just can’t keep this a secret anymore!

I am sharing the love and now YOU have an opportunity to get some of this amazing information so you too can have a better relationship with your money. In fact, Isis has agreed to join me in a FREE Master Class for business-minded women (or anyone else looking to grow their money) on May 22nd at 8pm EST to share her expertise. You will not only have the opportunity to learn how to change your money story and money mindset, but will also take away practical tips and tricks that will open you to more money, more clients, more customers, and a new way of loving your money.

I know money isn’t everything, but it does provide us with certain freedom, joy, and adventure so why not change your money mindset and increase the flow of of prosperity and abundance into your life?

Interested?

Sign-up for this awesome opportunity now and don’t forget to share the love with your friends! Everyone could use a little extra money right?

Recent Lessons & Major Breakthroughs

May 5, 2014 by Lamisha

Being a coach, I am not exempt from life lessons and major breakthroughs that I help my clients through and this past week has been a pretty big week for me. Not only am I stepping more into who I really am as a business owner and coach, but also who I am as a wife, a mother, and all the other shoes I fill. It’s both liberating and sometimes downright scary to look at all the things I am doing in my life and where I want to be. I stand in awe as I look how far I have come and am amazed at the progress while still looking ahead to everything that I want to do.

I wanted to take a moment to share with you my recent life lessons and ‘aha’ moments that have come from my conversations with clients and my dear spiritual soul sisters who have shared their amazing gifts with me. I hope that by reading this you are able to identify with some (if not all) of the lessons and feel your own transformation and healing begin to take place.

Have Fun: This is such a good reminder not just for me but for any of you wonderful business-minded souls who are working, striving, and making moves in the business world. We are too often caught in the building phase of our empire that we forget what it’s like to truly LIVE and have FUN! In fact, I was given the assignment to do something fun every single day and I had a hard time thinking of what I would do! How silly is that?! Fun is a huge piece of the happy life puzzle and it is what opens us to the magic that is in the world. So, I ask you: What have you done for fun lately?

Recognize and Celebrate Your Own Brilliance: As a coach, I am able to immediately see the light and brilliance that my clients have. I see it, connect with it, and reflect it back to them in ways that they can see and feel it. It can be far more difficult for me to stand back and view myself in that same way which at times results in doubt, frustration, and dare I say fear? A wonderfully talented soul sister of mine reminded me that I don’t have to compare my talents and gifts with any one else nor do I have to place anyone on a pedestal while viewing myself as ‘below’ them on the totem pole of power and authority. When we are stepping onto our true path, it can be far too easy to compare ourselves with those around us. We take note of their success and all that they have conquered while tallying up our ‘successes’ that never seem to amount to much. But when we can step back from our ego and view our life, our accomplishments, and our gifts through fresh eyes, we see that comparison is not necessary. We are all brilliant in our own way and simply knowing that is the first step to truly seeing it. I want you to know that you are brilliant as well! Whether you are an artist, coach, healer, yoga instructor, or you are an amazing parent, partner, animal-lover etc. YOU are brilliant and have a light and many amazing gifts that the world needs. See it! Embrace it! Celebrate it! 🙂

Take Risks: This one is a HUGE message I have been getting in the last few weeks but I only recognized it last week. Most of my life I have had this internal fight inside of myself. Logic vs Dreams, Stability vs Freedom, Comfort vs Adventure. I haven’t ever really been the risk-taker in life and have spent much of my life taking calculated risks while worrying about the best decision to make to keep things ‘stable’. Since I started my business I have been playing it safe too which translates to playing small. I have put my toe in the water of uncertainty and slowly eased in when what my heart really wants to do (and what my soul is aching to do) is dive in clothes and all! I have been in my own way and while it may not seem like that on the outside, there are many ways it is manifesting in my life. Procrastination, timidness, fear, and more uncertainty. But here is the flip side of all that. I KNOW that in order for me to be wildly successful and do all the work I am truly meant to do, I must stop with the fear, stop with the calculated risks and listen to my heart again. The same heart that told me to leap into my business. The same heart that said, I don’t know how but I will figure it out. The same heart that at one point told me to move over 300 miles away from my home, my friends, and my family for love. THAT is the heart I am listening to. So risks I shall take and I encourage you to do the same. So what if you don’t have all your ducks in a row, some ducks may show up to the party fashionably late, but that doesn’t stop the party. Jump! Leap! Dive in and watch what happens to your life!

Ask For Help: I don’t know if this is because I am the oldest child or if I have developed a sense of ‘I can do it all myself’ syndrome, but somewhere along the way I decided I didn’t need help. Not only that, but even if I did, I wouldn’t ask for it. And I am not exactly talking about asking my fellow neighbors and friends for help, I’m talking asking the Universe and the Divine for assistance. I am a firm believer that part of what makes our amazing lives so great is the amount of support we receive from other realms. Call it Heaven, God, Goddess, Angels, the Universe, or whatever it is you believe in, but I know that we are not meant to travel along our paths alone and yet there are times I don’t ask for help. So, I am getting back to my daily connection with Spirit (both mine and the Universal Spirit of all things) through meditation and prayer to bring that wonderfully supportive energy back into my life and business. We don’t have to do everything on our own, nor do we have to know how, who, what, when, and all the extra details that go with it. We can simply ask and be open to receive the answer. It’s that simple! So, what could you use a little help with that you have been doing all on your own? Ask, and you shall receive!

I hope that my recent breakthroughs and life lessons resonate with you and open your eyes to your very own blissful breakthroughs. The more I grow, learn, and evolve, the more I realize life is a series of lessons that further uncover our greatness, beauty, and purpose.

May you have a bit of fun, recognize your own brilliance and light, take a few risks, dream big, and ask for help from the amazing and always loving Universe today and always. Things are changing and life is too good to stay in one place and play small. Reach beyond your comfort zone daily and expand into every corner of your greatness and watch as your life transforms into the most amazing ride you never thought possible.

Sending you lots of love,

Lamisha

Life Coaching for Business-Minded Women

May 2, 2014 by Lamisha

***Just a gentle reminder (again) that today is the LAST day to get 4 coaching sessions for a mere $300. At midnight tonight my rates are going up and you will only be able to work with me via purchasing one of the individual or group packages. I still have a few spots open, so please contact me ASAP if you are interested. ***

Happy Friday!!!

This month is sure to be jam-packed full of exciting new things. Not only am I offering my new individual packages, but I am also expanding a bit. Beginning in June I will be offering a group coaching program for business owners or business-minded individuals (artists, writers, etc.) who are looking for some support, community, and coaching to help expand their biz and break through some of the blocks that come up with being a business owner.

I will be sharing more info about what this coaching program entails and all the awesome goodies you will get with it next week, but first I want you to know how/why I came up with this idea.

Anyone that has worked with me knows that I am not a business coach per se. I don’t teach you how to set up a biz, select your niche, market your work etc. and at times find some of that to be a bit foreign to me, however I do work with a ton of business-minded women and business owners to clear their beliefs, follow their intuition, and take their businesses to the next level by challenging them to grow and evolve. I hold my clients accountable for the action items we come up with and lovingly push them to move beyond what they think they can do.

Typically the number 1 thing holding people back is fear which we all know comes in various shapes, sizes, and disguises.

So, I decided it was time to get my business-minded women together and offer a support system and coaching opportunity to clear out the icky, negative, limiting beliefs that hold us back to uncover the real, true, intuitive and magnificently abundant beauties that we are! And this 3-month group coaching offer is going to help you with that, but we won’t stop there!

We are also going to discuss some of the practical things that come up in the business world like: What do I do when I have a million ideas and can’t seem to move on ANY of them? or What about pricing my services/talents/artwork? or How can I increase the flow of clients/money/customers to my business? (I’ll give you a hint: energetic marketing.)

Did I also mention I am offering a refund option for the first month of the program? If after paying for the first month of this coaching program, you do not see the value in it AND you have completed the practices/exercises we will go over in the program, I will happily refund you what you paid for the first month. THAT is how certain I am that you will love this.

I believe that when you get a group of like-minded, driven, and passionate women together, magic happens. Community, collaboration, and friendships are born and that is what I envision for this program. Because I am only taking 20 people for this 3-month coaching journey and I am offering the refund option for the first month, I am not just taking anyone.

You see, I want all of the participants to be ready and willing to let go of the old baggage and beliefs that are holding them back so they can move forward with ease and grace, so this isn’t going to be a program you can simply buy into. I will be holding 30-min individual intake calls to everyone who is interested in this program to ask a few questions, to get to know you better, and to evaluate if this is a good program for you. My purpose here is not to simply fill my program, but instead to provide a quality, high-value experience for up to 20 women who will benefit greatly from it. If that means we stop at 10 enrollees then so be it.

More details to come on the investment, the topics, the time involved, and information on a free call that will give you some nuggets of wisdom you can begin implementing before the course even begins! If this is something you are interested in please sign up for my VIP list so you don’t miss any important dates or details! I am so excited to share this with you and can’t wait to give you all of the details about some guest teachers I have for this awesome program.

Have a wonderful weekend and as always thanks for reading!

Dream Changer-Featuring Petra Monaco

April 30, 2014 by Lamisha

***Happy Hump Day Dreamers! It’s Wednesday and it is time for another wonderful Dream Changer post! This week I am excited to share with you a woman who has overcome great obstacles in life to find her true calling and as we all know life’s path is rarely a straight line and many times a topsy turvy wonderful world of lessons, growth, and evolution and Petra Monaco’s story is amazing. She is doing wonderful work in the world and I know you will enjoy her story. Take it away Petra!***

It’s hard for me to pinpoint exactly what moment in my life directly led me to this path because in the big picture of it all it all relates in some way.

I grew up in Germany in foster homes since the age of two until I graduated high school at the age of 15. Throughout the years I was exposed to trauma and abuse, neglect, rejection, unable to believe in myself and looking for love in all the wrong places. During all my struggles of trying to find out who I am, I never quit. I was pregnant with my first born at 17, engaged to an American, who I would not marry until later. I moved cross the ocean to find a different life and was left to continue to figure it all out on my own. I married the father of my son and a few years later, we had another child together. We would not work out however due to move beyond our parens dysfunction, but we are friends nonetheless.

Life still wasn’t easy and I continued to move forward believing there is something out there but never quite finding what I needed. I singled parented for awhile, remarried my husband just to once again learn that this is not working out for us. I earned a degree in accounting with the potential of making good money but I was unable to be satisfied or feel happy about it. I wanted more. I loved psychology, I loved learning about the FBI and toyed with the idea of becoming a profiler. But it still did not sit with me.

I learned about life coaching from a television show and thought to myself, now that …that looks interesting.

firefighter — One of Petra’s amazing pieces!

I began to find solace in my creations and crochet and wood burned whenever I could. I started my first business Hippie’s Creations. I find it therapeutic to create with fibers or burn on wood. It’s been my tool towards healing where I look within, analyze my situations and figure out a way to move forward.

In my 30’s I gave birth to my fourth child who at the age of four was diagnosed with a rare metabolic genetic disorder. I think that this ultimately tipped me over to follow my dreams and pursue what I wanted out of life. But it appeared I was not ready to acknowledge what I wanted and had a few more things to learn. I opened a brick and mortar store but closed it a year later still not feeling good about life. I left a relationship that did me more harm than good and my growth was huge.

I wrote a book about what I remembered of my life which helped me move forward, create boundaries, and live a much healthier life. I still have some work to do but I am enjoying the path I have taken.

In 2010 I started working as an intensive in-home counselor and I LOVED my work. I am still with the same company and continue to help children figure it all out providing them with therapy as they need. But as a mom with a child who has disabilities and remembering the life coaching show I started to explore it more.

I am in the process of writing a book, sharing my son’s inspirational story of survival and his incredible will to live. I have also started Fostered Life, in which I help individuals find the time to balance work, family and live the life they have envisioned. I am offering pro bono coaching sessions to foster children who are aging out and need a little help reaching their goals!

Transformation, Growth, & Group Coaching for YOU!

April 28, 2014 by Lamisha

If you would have told me 5 or 10 years ago that I would be a business owner with no other full-time income other than my business, I certainly wouldn’t have believed you. I never really wanted or thought about being my own boss as much as I really wanted to love what I do and have the freedom and flexibility in my life to do more of what I love. Seems obvious that being my own boss would provide all of that, but I didn’t put the two together until I realized life coaching was my calling.

Since then, I have found this path to be one of the most amazing and life transforming experiences. I have learned (and continue to learn) a ton about myself, my life, my preferences, and how I work best. I am learning to let go of the old story of success and what that means in traditional society and am stepping into my power more and more every day. I am reaching beyond my previously set boundaries and am expanding my reach, my knowledge, and my faith in the Universe that all things are working out exactly as they are meant to.

I am also stepping into a bit of a new direction business wise that is causing me to learn, grow, and evolve even more quickly. It’s a process and a journey that I wouldn’t give up for the world and I am so grateful for the opportunity to stand in my power helping other business owners and freedom-seekers do the same.

What is a freedom-seeker you ask?

Simply put, it is a person who desires to walk their own path and find (and live) their true calling. They wish to do what they love, stand in that power, and live the life of their dreams…as they see fit. Whether it’s a mansion by the beach or a life of travel, they want to create a life that allows them to do as they please. They want to grow, learn, evolve, and become more of who they are and be comfortable and confident in themselves. These are people who are similar to the ‘purple people‘ in that they feel the call to follow their inspiration and intuition as opposed to logic and reality. Crystal Davis (an amazing, talented, and very creative woman and friend) owner of Poetic Empire posted on Facebook yesterday that “Reality is irrelevant.”(I love that quote!) and freedom-seekers know this on some level and the more they live it, the more they feel their calling and truth.

These are the people I know I am meant to work with because I am one of them. I am proud to say I had the courage to step out on faith and step into my calling, my purpose, and my passion. I have learned a lot on this path and my hope is that I can pass a bit of that knowledge to others who are doing the same.

That is why I have created a program specifically for heart-centered business owners (and soon to be business owners) that are doing work they love. This 3-month group coaching program(beginning in June) provides you the coaching, support, community, and practical tips to break through the blocks and barriers you may be experiencing in your business life. It will help you grow stronger in your confidence for your craft, provide tools for dealing with fear, self-sabotage, abundance issues, address self-care and anything else holding you back. This is an opportunity for 20 people to connect, commune, and grow together with a common goal to stand more fully in their power, passion, and purpose.

I will be providing more information about how to get signed up for this program and the nitty-gritty details about what it entails in the next week or so. So, if you are looking to get your business started or are looking to expand, grow, and stand more fully in your purpose and this is something that you want to take advantage of, please sign-up for my VIP List today so you don’t miss any of the details and deadlines to sign up. I know that this program is going to bring like minds and hearts together to create powerful change and collaborations that will make your business flourish, so if your heart is telling you to sign up, respond to the call and don’t miss this amazing opportunity to grow, evolve, and become the free-flowing business owner I know you can be!

May you all have a magnificently magical Monday!

P.S. Don’t forget Friday is the last day to contact me if you are interested in individual coaching sessions at my current rate for a period of 2 months. That is 4 individual sessions for $300 which is an amazing value! If you are interested please contact me to get your 30-minute consultation scheduled as soon as possible. Remember, you must contact me by Friday in order to be eligible for this limited-time offer. Rates are doubling on Saturday May 3rd.
