Happy Tuesday Lovelies!!!

I have been hinting at this offer for a few weeks both on Facebook and in my VIP newsletters and I am so happy to finally share this with you.

Ever since I started my business I’ve had this vision of working with a group of women side-by-side to help them take the leap into the life they not only want, but the life they deserve.  As we approach the new year, I thought it would be a great time to create a group program to help you take that leap you’ve always wanted to take.

Before I reveal what it is and how to get signed up, I want you to think about something…

Last year as we moved into the fresh new year of 2014, what dreams and aspirations did you have going into the year?

With a clean slate ahead of you, you probably had a ton of energy and focus to take big action right?

But after a while, things got back to ‘normal’ and the sparkle of the new year began to fade and some of those big, bold dreams might have been placed on the back burner.

Over time they grew dusty and you might have revisited them a few times only to put them down again because life got in the way or you began to wonder if it is even possible to achieve.

But…

What if instead of starting the year with a big, bold dream alone, you started with a group of like-minded women aiming for their own big dreams? 

What if you had the support of a coach to guide you through the steps to envision, create, and finally live that dream you’ve wanted for so long?

What if you could identify the junk holding you back and you could learn tools to help you clear the beliefs that are no longer serving you.

What if this is the year that you learn the steps that will change your life forever?

You are getting the opportunity to make 2015 the best year yet with the Leap 2015 group program.

This is a program that will not only guide you through the steps to manifest the life of your dreams (and anything else you want), but it will also help you uncover what is holding you back and help you begin to clear the way to take big inspired action.

This program will teach you how to harness the Universal power you’ve always had, but didn’t know how to use.

It’s time to try something a bit different.  To do something you haven’t done before and to reach new heights.

It’s time to LEAP!

Beginning in January 2015, myself and up to 10 other amazing women like you will come together for a 4 week coaching program that will guide, support, and inspire you to make 2015 the best year yet.  We will go on a quest to identify your vision for the year ahead, dig deep into the beliefs that have held you back for too long, get over the ‘how’ hurdle, and step fully into inspired action so your dreams become your reality sooner rather than later.

And the best part is you can use the same manifestation steps you will learn in the program and apply them to anything you desire.

So what do you say? Are you ready to make 2015 THE  year everything changes?

If so, hop on over HERE to get all the details on how you can get signed up for this amazing offer.  I’m limiting the group to 10 women and depending on the response, I may or may not be opening another round.  If you are interested, now is the time to take the plunge. And honestly, this is one of the best values you have ever seen!

I am so excited to start the year with a bang and to help you make 2015 YOUR year.  The question is…Are you ready?

Shift Your Mindset With a “Love List”

by

 

heart

With Thanksgiving coming tomorrow, I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude, giving, and sharing.  I’m so very grateful for all of you that have read my posts, followed me on Facebook or Twitter and have taken the time to allow me into the sacred space of your inbox.  Before I go any further, I just want you to know I appreciate you.

Today I bring you a tip that I have been offering to many of my clients lately and thought you might find it useful as you move through the rest of your week and the final days of the year.

You may have heard of the Gratitude List to raise your vibration and to shift your mindset to the good things in your life, but I like to do something a bit different.

I make a “Love List”.

It’s a similar concept really, but sometimes it’s easier for people to write an extensive list when they think of all the things they love.  Simply grab a pen and paper and get writing.  As you make your list, you will begin seeing the images of what you love in your mind and immediately feel the shift in your energy and vibration.  You don’t have to have that thing directly in front of you at the moment to feel the shift.  You can simply imagine having it or experiencing it and it works in the same way.

My list often goes like this: I love…naps, rainbows, the smell of rain, fresh cut grass, hot baths, good wine, snuggling with my son, the ocean, coffee… Just doing that now has put me into a state of bliss and boy does it feel good!

Try it out for yourself and see how you feel.

I recommend this exercise to anyone that is having trouble imagining the good or shifting their energy to a more positive state of mind.  Manifestations and creating the life of your dreams require you to be open to all the amazing ideas and next steps that are coming your way.

You have to be in a state of flow in order to allow and receive the things you are wanting to manifest.  Many times that is the only block holding people back. 

Give it a try and let me know how you feel afterwards.  Do you find it easier to make a love list or a gratitude list?

P.S.  If you are in the U.S. and celebrating the holiday tomorrow, Happy Thanksgiving.  If you are one of my lovely followers overseas, Happy Hump day. 🙂

P. P. S. Are you on my VIP List?  If so, have you seen the Super Secret Offer that I sent out earlier this week? If not, check your email (and spam folder) as the offer expires on Sunday.  I want to make sure you get in early if this opportunity resonates with you. And if you aren’t on my list join it today and you too can get the info. ‘Tis the season, ya know.

Walking My Talk & Investing in Me

by

A few weeks back I wrote this post about the importance of investing in yourself.  I felt a fire in my belly as I wrote it because I do believe we each deserve to invest the time, effort, and money into who we want to be.  Whether we are treating ourselves to a nice hair cut or coffee or hiring a personal coach to help us get to our goals, we deserve it.  And what I was getting at in that post was that far too many people don’t see the value in doing those things.

Looking back at it now I found, I was one of them.

Even as I wrote the post, I could feel the resistance building within about a particular investment that I knew I needed to make, but was deeply afraid of.  I could feel myself splitting hairs because while I am more likely to treat myself to nice things and invest time into myself, investing large sums of money into my own personal growth hadn’t happened.

So what wasn’t I doing that I knew I needed to do?

I wasn’t hiring the coach I knew I needed.

Here I was a life coach who was asking the amazing women that needed me most to invest in themselves by working with me and I wasn’t willing to do the same thing.

Sure, I had a ton of excuses as to why I couldn’t do it.

  • I don’t have the money.
  • I don’t have the time.
  • Is that what I really need right now?

But what I was really afraid of was this:

I wasn’t 100% sure the coaching would work for me.

Yep, even as a coach that works with clients daily on mindset stuff, I was dealing with my own gremlins.

I was afraid that it wouldn’t work for me. That my business was somehow different from all the success stories I had heard from other women who had worked with this particular coach.  I let fear win.

But then…

A few weeks after I wrote that post about investing in yourself, I felt this intuitive pull to hire an EFT practitioner to help me through some of the gremlins I was working through.  I didn’t think twice, I just signed up and took the leap.  And I have to tell you it was one of the best things I have done for myself AND my business in a long time.

But I didn’t stop there, I also invested in some additional training for social media work I desperately needed.  (cha-ching)

And that wasn’t it either.  A week after investing in that, I invested in the coach I needed to hire to begin with.  She had an offer I couldn’t refuse and to be honest, my intuition was telling me this was something I needed.  Not just for my business and personal growth, but also because it was way past time for me to walk my talk.

In the last month or so of investing in myself and my business, I learned that my fears were unfounded.  After my first investment in the EFT session, I saw immediate results in my business.  I had new clients coming out of the woodwork and was amazed at it all.  After the second investment, more amazing things were happening. More inspiration, clients, and opportunities were flowing and after investing in my coach…well the same thing happened.

It boils down to this.  When you decide to invest time, money, and energy into yourself, the Universe begins to take you more seriously and miraculous things start happening.

So, my dear dreamer…when was the last time you took the leap and invested the $$ into yourself, your dreams, and your goals?

I know it’s scary. I know you wonder if it will work for you.  You wonder if it’s the ‘right’ step for you and I assure you, if you are thinking of hiring a coach, it IS the right step for you.  Listen to your intuition and follow the tug of your heart. Now is your time to shine an I want to help you in any way that I can.

I am only taking 4 more clients for my 90-Day Breakthrough program for 2014, so if you have been thinking about taking the leap, now is your chance.  I’m scheduling 30-Minute Consultations for the rest of the month to fill these spots so if you are interested, schedule yours fast.  

P.S. I also have a free call coming up on November 18th at 8pm EST titled: Ho-Hum to Hell-Yeah: Helping you do more of what you love NOW.  Who says you have to wait until all your dreams come true to live a life you love?  I am going to help you turn your ho-hum life into one that makes you scream ‘Hell Yeah!’ with just a few simple tweaks. Sign up to receive all the call details here! Can’t wait to chat with you. 🙂

How Words Can Become Blocks…

I first want to say thank you to everyone who read, commented, shared, and responded to my latest article in the Huffington Post titled: 12 Universal Laws That Will Change Your Life for the Better.  I am deeply grateful to everyone for your kindness and am looking forward to connecting with each of you either through my blog, on Facebook, Twitter, or by working with you one-on-one.

It’s long been said that words have power and when you think of that phrase you probably think of ‘positive’ or ‘negative’ thoughts.  You might think of words that empower us and uplift versus those that tear us down.  And while there are words that generally create a positive or negative feel to them, I want to talk about something a bit different.

I want to talk about words like ’email’ or ‘sales’ or ‘newsletter’ or ‘career’ or ‘money’ or ‘abundance’ or other seemingly simple words that might be thought of as neutral.

Even neutral words can be charged with a positive or negative vibe depending on how we feel about them.  One word might resonate positively for me, but for you it might feel a bit negative or heavy.

So, why am I talking about words and vibes?

Because many times the words we use (and the vibes attached to those words) hold us back in some way.

I’ll give you an example:

0001-28713102A few months back I was working with a lovely client who is also an entrepreneur.  She is incredible at what she does and is very good about making a list and doing what needs to be done except for when it came to her newsletter.  (Those of you in the business world know how much emphasis is put on your list and the newsletters you send to your list.)

My dear client was stuck.  No matter how many times that newsletter ended up on her to-do list, it never got done.  She procrastinated, avoided it, and would do 100 other things before she would think of taking care of the newsletter.

Why?

Because the idea of it was overwhelming.  The importance and power that was placed on the dreaded newsletter made her cringe.  She wanted it to be perfect and couldn’t bring herself to sit for the amount of time it would take her to get it to perfect. 

After some digging we realized it wasn’t the actual newsletter that was sending her running for the hills.  It was the vibration and feeling that was attached to it that was.

I suggested that instead of thinking of it as a newsletter she think of it as just an email.  She sends emails every day to her clients so what is one more?  Changing the word also changed the vibration that was attached to the activity.  She no longer needed to fret about sending perfect emails because she emails were easy for her.

Words can become like brick walls, blocking you from being, having, or doing exactly what you need to get to where you are going.

If negatively charged words are your issue (and I assure you we all have something like that), then it can be as simple as shifting the word a bit which also shifts the vibe.

I’ll give you another example.

Just yesterday I had a conversation with another client who was struggling with doing ‘sales pitches’.  Every time she got to the sales part of her call, she would freeze up and stumble a bit.  She didn’t want to be pushy or sales-y or sleazy about it and desperately needed to find a comfortable way of dealing with sales.

I noticed the negative charge she gave to the word ‘sales’ and we chatted about changing the idea of a ‘sales pitch’ to simply an invitation, because really that’s all it is.  The word invitation instantly feels lighter, brighter, and open.  She immediately felt the difference and felt better about inviting clients to make life changes.

Sometimes the blocks you are feeling have very simple fixes.  Change the word, you change the vibration.  Words like ‘money’, ‘abundance’, ‘prosperity’, ‘rich’, etc. also have the potential to have a ton of vibrational baggage that comes along with them.

Are there any words that feel heavy, dark, or do you feel resistance to?  Share in the comments below and let’s see if we can do a simple flip to change the vibes.  It can make all the difference in how you feel.

 

P.S.  Friday is the last day to sign up for my Coach on Call offer and I only have a few openings left.  If you are interested in signing up, but want to chat a bit first to make sure we are a good fit, schedule your 30-Minute Consultation HERE.  I look forward to chatting with you! 

Risks & Results

I have a confession to make.

Over the last few months I realized I have had an underlying fear that I couldn’t quite put my finger on until now…

Being seen in a big way. 

Sure, I write, coach, and am pretty active on social media, but I realized I’ve been afraid of putting myself out there in a big way.

And it’s not so much about the being seen as much as it is me being potentially rejected or disappointed by being seen.

You’ve been there right?

Well, it’s time to change all of that.

I’ve decided that October is going to be my best month ever.

This is the month I stop being afraid of stepping out and being seen and as a result, I’m taking risks.

I’m sharing my business with people more and more.  Reaching out to women that are stuck and struggling that I know I can be of service to.  Leaving my card in local businesses so more people find me.  Guest posting like crazy and sharing my thoughts with a wider audience.  I also just signed up to attend a women’s empowerment luncheon where I won’t know anyone, but is a great opportunity for me to network and connect with other like-minded women.

I’ll be honest.  Doing all of these things is a bit uncomfortable.  It stretches me to my max in some cases and brings up a ton of blocks for me to work through…which is great.  I’m learning detachment in the face of fear and learning to let go of the worry of disappointment.

As they say, if you don’t ask the answer is always no.

We are about a 1/3 of the way through the month and I’ve already taken more risks with amazing results than I have in the last 6 months.

The results have been amazing!

I’ve been published again in Kind Over Matter with an article on Keeping Your Eyes On Your Own Path, and in The Magic Happens with a letter to the Dreamers of the World . I also wrote a post for Clear Calm Space on The Clutter You Can’t See  and just found out my post Stuck? Don’t ‘Try Harder’…Do This Instead  was just published on The Huffington Post!

I also have an article in an incredible book that is a #1 best seller called Empowered Women of Social Media: 44 Women found their “Voices” using the Power of Social Networking (Volume 1) that was just released last weekend!

And I’m not stopping there.  I’m looking for new ways to take risks, to be seen, to expand, grow, and reach beyond where I am so I can be of service to more women.  To help you amazing ladies make life the absolute best and help you live a life of freedom as you turn your dreams into reality.  I’m ready to finish the year off with a bang and I’m inviting you to do the same.

What have you been too scared to do so far this year?  Maybe it’s pitching some articles, sharing your business, or starting a new venture.  Maybe you have been afraid of taking the leap to ask for help, to hire a coach, or to take that next scary step.  Whatever it is, I invite you to make the commitment to take risks and embrace the results.

I’d love to be of support to you as you do this in any way I can and invite you take the leap with hiring a coach.  Schedule your 30-Minute Consultation to chat about how I can help you take big action to make your dreams a reality.  You deserve to live a life of freedom. So what are you waiting for? 

I also want to invite you to join my VIP list.  I’m creating a community of life-lovers and a freedom tribe that I would love for you to be a part of, but you must be on the list to join.  Stay tuned for the invitation to come your way. 

Have a fabulous weekend of risk taking and amazing results!!
