I’ll be your Coach on Call for November (Exclusive Offer!)

I have traveled the sometimes lonely road that you often travel while chasing your dream. A dream that you aren’t even 100% sure is possible….

Your heart tells you it is, but the reality you see in front of you scoffs at the idea of getting up every day and doing what you love.

Because really? Who gets to do that besides the posh superstars of the world making millions of dollars?

But something keeps you going. Maybe it’s the dream or the whisper of your soul that pushes you forward and reminds you that you must keep going.

When I started down this road, I had NO idea what I was in for. I didn’t know anyone that was kicking reality to the curb in order to dive head first into a life they truly wanted. Hell, I didn’t know many people that even questioned what they wanted let alone were willing to go after it.

Looking back, if I knew then what I know now, I would have jumped at the opportunity to have a coach by my side to help me start and to remind me to keep going when my mind got overwhelmed with reality.

It took me 7 years to figure out what I wanted and another 4 to actually go after it. And now that I am in it, I am surrounded by some of the most amazing, supportive women and coaches that help me stay focused to just keep going when it feels rough.

Action. Accountability. Mindset Magic.

Those are the things I needed & still need on this path & I would venture to guess you need them too.

Whether you are just starting out or are taking your dream life to the next level I’ve got a very special one-time offer for you.

For the month of November, I will be your Coach On Call.

What you get:

2- 45-Minute Minute Coaching sessions via phone or Skype
Unlimited e-mail coaching/support for the month of November
An outline of action steps to keep you focused
Mindset adjustment where you need it most

You get exactly what I needed most when I started. A foundation of support that will pave the way for progress and success as you move forward.

Your investment: $350

This is a one-time offer good until next Friday (October 31st) and because it involves such intensive support (email coaching & 2 sessions) I am limiting it to a select few. I have released it to my VIP list already so if you are interested, snag your spot now (by clicking the image below). I guarantee these spots will go fast.

So what do you say? Are you going to wait another week, month, or year to get started on the amazing life you have always wanted?

Stuck on What you REALLY Want? Try this.

If you don’t know what you want in life, how the world do you think you are supposed to get it???

The first step to creating an amazing life is knowing what that means to you.

In fact, it’s the first thing I ask every person I work with (and something I’ve been asking friends & coworkers for years) only to find more people have no clue what they want in life.

They are either too stuck in reality to even flex their creative muscles a bit or they don’t really believe they can have what they truly want.

But here’s the thing.

Your dream life isn’t going to just appear out of thin air. You aren’t going to wake up one day to a life you never envisioned, never imagined, and never thought about.

It’s just not how it works.

So let’s figure out what it is you want so you can get moving on making those amazing dreams a reality, shall we?

Know that you can be, have, or do anything you want. This step is paramount! When you know that, you unlock the block in your mind that wants you to play safe and think small.
Think about what you wanted as a child. When you were younger you didn’t know there was this thing called reality that had rules and regulations you had to abide by. You used your imagination effortlessly and came up with some incredible visions, stories, and desires for who you wanted to be when you grew up. Revisit those thoughts and think about what you wanted to be as a child. Write it down.
Create a love list. If you are struggling to figure out what you want in your life as a whole it might be helpful to make separate lists for relationships, family, career, fun, etc. What you are going to do is make a list of all the things you love (or have loved) over the years in each category. For instance, in career you might put something like ‘using my creativity’ or ‘helping people’. Be as specific as possible for each list and see what comes up. Don’t edit or censor what you write down. This is simply a list of all the things you love so just let it flow.
Brainstorm with others. Sometimes talking to someone can help you get clear on what it is you want. The natural flow of a conversation can be helpful as you get feedback from someone else. This is also a great way to bounce ideas around and to simply verbalize some of the things you are thinking. Talking it out is one of the amazing benefits of having a coach. They ask questions you never thought to ask yourself.
Put it all together. Take a look at some of the things you have written or what came up in your conversations, what themes do you see? You might find there is a theme in regards to your career or in the relationship department. Maybe you find ‘freedom’ to be a theme and you want to create your own business. Maybe creativity is a theme and you want to do something with your art or writing. Once you find the theme, the rest of the picture appears almost effortlessly. But, if you still find yourself stuck with what you want in life, take a moment to imagine your perfect day. What are you doing? Who are you with? What do you see? Where are you? How much money are you making? How do you spend your time? Etc.

Once you know what you want to create you can move onto visualizing it and allowing the next step to come to you. Don’t be hard on yourself if after following steps 1-5 you are still confused about how everything fits together to create the dream life for you. Just know that it can and will come together for you.

Are you ready to jump start the process and gain clarity around what you want in your life? If so, schedule your 30-minute consultation and let’s make it happen. There really is no reason for you to continue to wait for the life of your dreams to simply appear. You have to know what you want first. So what are you waiting for?

A Lesson in Leaning Back

October 2, 2014 by Lamisha

I’ll be the first to admit when I want something, I can become hyper-focused on it. (Ok maybe a little obsessed.)

I think about it. I visualize it. I analyze it. I talk about it.

I often jump into action mode quickly and can sometimes forget to listen to my heart.

When it comes to my business and my goals, I often lunge forward when what I truly need to do is lean back and trust.

Today I was reminded of the importance of leaning back.

I’ve been working a bit on expansion in my life and in my business and part of that means reaching outside my comfort zone.

I’m taking risks and stepping into the spotlight so much more than I have before. It’s exciting, exhilarating, and honestly it feels so right.

But, in the midst of taking inspired action and clearing my own BS, I sometimes come to a point when I get too focused on the outcome.

I want results and I want them…last week.

The result?

Lots of resistance, disappointment, feelings of lack, and taking forced action as opposed to inspired. (It’s not pretty.)

But, lucky for me I have an amazing support system including my own business coach who reminds me when it’s time to just lean back.

So, what is leaning back really?

To put it simply, it’s trusting the process and staying the course. It’s detaching from the results and knowing that everything is working out perfectly. It also means that you know that whatever it is you are trying to manifest or achieve is already done.

It’s happening now. The money, relationship, career, and clients you want are on the way. When you stay the course and know it is all coming to you now, you don’t have to worry. You can just enjoy the ride.

I’ll give you another example of what happens when you lean back.

A friend of mine was having a few slow weeks in her business. She was doing the work and trying hard to figure things out. She was in action all the time, until one day when she decided she needed a break. Both her mind & body needed a reprieve from all the action so she took a few days off. She lounged around in her comfy clothes and allowed herself some time to just rest. In the middle of her second day of rest, she gets a call from a new client.

Leaning back allows the energy you have put into motion to do the work for you.

No more pushing, prodding, or forcing things to happen.

So if you find yourself feeling anxious and are being busy for the sake of being busy. Try a different approach.

Just lean back. Let go. Let it flow, and remember you have the power to create & enjoy the life of your dreams. Sometimes that means letting go of the reins so the powers of the Universe can work for you.

Do you feel like you are forcing a particular area of your life right now? If so, what is it? Share in the comments below and commit to leaning back for a few days.

P.S. Have you signed up for my VIP list? If not you can do so here. I have some fun giveaways & exclusive offers that I am working on for the next few months that are only accessible to my VIP List so get signed up so you don’t miss out.

Are You In Danger of This? (And how not to sacrifice your happiness.)

September 4, 2014 by Lamisha

What if someone could tell you without a shadow of a doubt the way your future will likely unfold if you continue on the exact course you are on this very minute?

Would you be interested?

No, I’m not switching businesses and becoming a psychic 🙂

I ask you that because I know something that you might not be aware of and again I’m no psychic, but I have seen this enough to know that you might be in danger.

**********

Meet Joni* (Names have been changed for privacy sake.)

Joni is an incredibly talented entrepreneur. She’s sweet, charismatic, caring, compassionate and people adore her! She’s married to her soul mate, has a gorgeous home, and is blessed with creativity that flows like an open faucet. Her business is booming and her calendar is booked out 9 months!

BUT…

She’s got a problem and it’s a BIG one.

She is having a hard time finding balance amongst all the awesomeness that is her life.

When she is in work mode, she’s hard-core. She works long hours, stays up late, and often burns the candle at both ends.

When she manages to find time to focus on her ‘home’ life with her hubby, she is constantly trying to make up for lost time.

She’s lost on the teeter-totter of two extremes and no matter what she does she can’t quite find the happy medium.

The result:

She’s frustrated and cranky most days. When she’s focused on her business, she worries about her relationship and the many things at home that feel half-assed or un-done. When she’s at home, she worries about being at work. She thinks: “What if my clients need me? What about the next deadline? The next launch? Did I return all important emails?”

She’s stuck, overwhelmed, and feels guilty about not being where she needs to be and often feels like a failure.

She frequently discounts her successes or over looks them completely because she becomes hyper-focused on the things that aren’t working (aka not being able to find balance).

What on the outside looks like an awesome life, on the inside feels unbalanced and incomplete. She frequently thinks that “if only” she could find the balance between her two very important worlds, she could finally ease into relaxation mode and actually enjoy the magnificent life she has created.

But without being able to see the core issue (which is not the lack of balance in her life), she is destined for a life of exhaustion, fear, frustration, and stuck-ness. She is blind to the belief that is holding her back because she is simply too close to see it. What she thinks is a simple fix that centers around time management and taking a break every now and then is really just a symptom of a deeper issue.

She has a choice. She can continue to try to treat the symptom (i.e. the lack of balance in her life) and experience the brief reprieve that it provides for her or she can choose to seek help. And to be honest, she must first understand and be aware of the consequences of not clearing this issue.

Examples:

A stressed work life can result in physical illness
A stressed home life can result in relationship trouble
A stressed inner life can result in incredible fear, lack of confidence, self-sabotage, and even worse…an unhappy, unfulfilled life.

Getting to the end of her rope and being truly ready to move through this challenge once and for all, Joni reaches out for help. She knows the magnificence that lies on the other side of this struggle and she’s ready to identify and clear the belief that is holding her hostage in exhaustion, fear, and frustration.

The question is are YOU?

Many of you may be able to directly relate to the specific challenge or symptom that Joni has struggled with or you have your own issue that manifests itself in your life or business in your relationships, self-care, time management, procrastination, marketing (or lack thereof), or maybe it is something different.

The point is we all have that one thing that keeps showing up for us over and over again that leaves us feeling drained, frustrated, and just plain stuck. There are some of you who are ready to throw in the towel and accept that ‘this is just the way life is’ and you may even believe ‘you just can’t have it all’.

But I am here to tell you, there IS a solution to your problem and it starts with this first step: You must first know the consequences of continuing on the path you are on and refuse to sacrifice the joy and fulfilling life you are destined for any longer.

That’s it.

Life is supposed to be amazing and you are meant to work through the lessons, beliefs, and challenges that hold us back from that incredible joy. It is part of your journey, but you get to choose if you are ready to move forward and clear it and some of the biggest challenges are those we can’t see directly because we are simply too close.

With that I ask you:

What amazing-ness are you sacrificing by staying stuck? AND Are you ready to take the first step to free yourself from the struggle and frustration?

If so, I invite you to schedule a 30-Minute Consultation to chat with me about your challenges and to see if (like Joni) you are ready to clear them once and for all. No strings attached. So what do you say? Are you ready?

P.S. Don’t forget that the 7-Day Resolution Refresh challenge begins on Monday so if you are in need of some inspiration to get some of those amazing goals knocked off your to-do list, get signed up so you don’t miss a beat!

Announcing: Resolution Refresh, A 7-Day Challenge

September 1, 2014 by Lamisha

Oh my, time flies when you’re having fun huh? It’s September already and I’m curious how many of you have actually looked at your New Years Resolutions/Intentions since say February or March?

If you are like many people, you probably haven’t taken a proper look to see where you stand as far as your goals are concerned. Today I am inviting you to take a look and see how far you have come.

I’ll wait….

You’re back? Awesome! So, how did it go?

Were you surprised to find a few of your items ticked of your list? (Congrats!)

How about the items you haven’t gotten to yet? If you are like most people the things that are still unfinished are likely outweighing the things that you have accomplished from your list. That’s totally normal.

Don’t panic, I know we only have 4 months left in the year, but that is a TON of time to make some major progress on the things that are truly aligned with what you want and who you are.

And lucky for you aside from being the Blind Spot Expert, I am also really action-oriented and pretty kick-ass with accountability (if I do say so myself.)

So, here’s the deal. I have created a 7-Day Challenge to help get your rear in gear. And I know you have seen a million ‘challenges’ where you get emails everyday with action items and at about day 3 you begin deleting the emails. (I have done the same thing.) But, this challenge is a bit different.

While I will be sending you emails everyday with action items, each email is meant to help you really determine what is most important to you and to guide you to the next step using the very powerful and amazing wisdom within…your intuition.

So, in reality this is more than just a ‘get shit done’ kind of challenge. It’s all about alignment, listening, releasing, and taking the next step to make magical things happen in your life…by the end of the year.

Sound good?

The challenge officially begins September 8th, however registration will remain open until September 15th for those of you who decide to hop on the Resolution Refresh train a bit later.

And since you will be so graciously allowing me into your very sacred mailbox, I promise to keep the emails short, sweet, and to the point so you can get to the very powerful action items easily. Deal?

Sign-up for the Resolution Refresh Challenge and watch the rest of your year transform in some truly amazing ways.

I want you to know that I am doing this challenge along with you and will be sharing my insights on Facebook and Twitter and I encourage you to join me using #ResolutionRefresh so we can keep up with your amazing progress. I am super excited to dig into my 2014 goals to see how far I have come and to realign my inentions for the rest of the year.

Let’s end the year with a bang shall we?

Big love to you all!
