I just turned 2 and Things I Learned Along the Way

August 12, 2015 by Lamisha

August 1, 2013 I did something I never imagined I’d do.

I started a business.

Not only did I surpass the 1 year mark when most business die a quick, painful death, but I have just hit the 2 year mark and I’m pretty freakin’ proud of myself.

Not because of the money I’ve made, but because I’ve stuck with it and have met, coached, and supported so many amazing souls. Thinking back on it , I’ve learned some pretty amazing lessons that I want to pass along to you.

You can do more than you think you can. As if the fact that my business is still alive isn’t enough proof, I’ve done way more than I ever thought I could. I’ve run marketing campaigns, group coaching programs, webinars, and coached countless women as I worked to get my message out into the world. If you would’ve told me 10 years ago that this is what I’d be doing…I’d probably laugh in your face. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, know that you can do more than you think.

Your intuition is an amazing gift…use it! There have been LOTS of moments when I thought other people knew better than me when it came to what I should do next, except they didn’t. We all have an inner GPS that is more powerful, more aware, and better equipped to support us in figuring out the next step than anyone else, we just have to learn to listen to it. This is a muscle I am still working, but I can tell you I am far more tuned in now than I ever was before I started this journey. Listen to your heart, it will never steer you wrong.

You don’t need to know the ‘how’. As a recovering control freak here, I sometimes forget this detail and I usually regret it. As much as the world tells us we need a plan, an outline or a blueprint for our success, the truth is you really don’t. If you follow your heart and act on the inspiration it provides, that will be enough. The only thing having a blueprint does is make you feel more secure while also cutting you off from the amazing opportunities that are out there for you. The Universe has far more resources available than we do…so why would you cut yourself off from that? Follow the next step and trust that you’ll always figure out what is next because you will.

Just keep swimming. In moments when I’ve wanted to give up (and there have been plenty), I had friends tell me to “just keep swimming” and as much as I didn’t want to hear it, I knew they were right. Had I quit when I wasn’t booking any new clients for 4 months or when I had lost all confidence in my ability to actually run a successful business, I’d never have made it to the point I am now. Now I know that I not only can make it, but I AM…every single day. Whatever your dream is or what your end vision may be…just keep swimming. Trust your vision and purpose and let it guide you, but never give up…unless of course you no longer feel the passion for what you are doing.

I am in awe of how far I’ve come from the time this was only a dream. In fact, this week I recorded this video reflecting on what prompted me to take the leap in the first place.

Listen, I know that whatever your BIG LEAP is, it feels scary right now. That business, new career, or stepping into your true purpose feels bigger than life right now. The steps to get there feel overwhelming and you aren’t quite sure how to make it all come together. You might even feel a little stuck…

You are not alone and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. The truth is you have the power to create ANY life you desire. I want to help you make your dream life a reality. Not tomorrow, next week, or next year when you feel more prepared.

I want to help you NOW.

If you are feeling the call of your soul to take the leap now…let’s chat. I’ve got something special for you and I only have room for 4 people so if you are ready to dive in and make your dreams come true finally…hit the button below and let’s schedule a free chat.

You’re stuck, but are you LISTENING?

Over the years I have been known for being so busy thinking, analyzing, planning, strategizing, and making things happen that I can’t actually hear what I need to do.

I get caught up in the action and doing of life instead of being.

I have often forgotten about the wealth of knowledge and information I have within if only I would listen.

It makes sense that as humans, we often try so hard to make things happen that we also end up making things much more difficult than we need to.

We miss the signs and signals about when it’s time to act and when it’s time to lean back. We miss the messages that are around us all the time.

I talk a lot about inspired action and how important it is in creating a life you love and I get a lot of questions about what inspired action really is.

Simply put, it’s listening and responding.

Hearing the message and acting on it.

Feeling the inspiration to act and not questioning it…just doing it because it feels right.

And often times that feeling isn’t the most logical thing in the world. In fact, at times it can seem downright insane, but every time I’ve acted on my inspired thoughts, it’s always worked out. Always.

So, if you feel STUCK and are wondering what the next step is for you, it may be that you just aren’t listening to the messages that are coming through.

Here are a few ways that I’ve found messages to show up for me:

Seemingly random thoughts in the shower (the shower is where I often come up with many program ideas or article titles)
Billboards with messages that resonate with me strongly
Song lyrics or quotes that feel especially powerful
Thoughts that float in with ease and feel simple and easy
Ideas that come quickly and just click
Inspiration that comes through when I am journaling or working with a client
Messages for others that I get while I am coaching that are also messages for myself

And sometimes I even get that earth-shattering lightning bolt of a thought that sends me running to find paper and a pen to get it all down before I forget it. But, most of the time the inspiration flows in and out with ease. It’s not pushed, pulled, or forced. It’s just easy.

So, today as you think about a particular area of your life where you may feel stuck, I want you to think about the messages you may not be hearing. What are you missing? What feels almost too easy for you? Go do that.

Even if it doesn’t turn out to be THE thing that gets you unstuck in the moment, it will most definitely lead you down the path that will.

Your Limitless Life

March 17, 2015 by Lamisha

It took me many years to come to the realization that I am capable of creating my life experience.

I wasn’t always like this. It took me many years of believing I was bound by my circumstances and experiencing that in my everyday life before I started looking for another way.

You see, on the inside I knew that I had the power, but there was a part of me that doubted it. I thought I was destined for the mediocrity that is adulthood.

Work, bills, responsibility and that’s it.

The creativity I craved and the joy I knew was waiting for me was at one time just a pipe dream. A figment of my imagination that I created to get through each day.

What I know now is that we are each given a limitless life.

One that allows us to create, craft, form, build, and enjoy anything we desire. We have the power to manifest amazing experiences and that is what life is all about. It’s about growing, evolving, becoming more of who we are.

We peel back the layers to uncover more false beliefs that are holding us back and more authenticity in how we live, connect, and share with one another.

YOU have this same limitless life.

YOU have the power to change.

YOU are tapped into a universal grid of power that with a bit of intention and focus, will change your life and the world.

YOU have all you need, right here and right now.

The fear, anxiety, worry, frustrations, and doubts that tell you, you don’t…well they are lying to you.

I speak from experience when I say…anything is possible.

I never dreamed of creating a business empowering women to create a life of passion, purpose, and joy. I couldn’t fathom ever working on my own, being my own boss, AND loving what I do. I didn’t think I had the energy, focus, or knowledge to make it happen. I just didn’t know what was possible…until I did.

Until one day my heart and soul screamed so loudly I couldn’t ignore it another moment. For years I settled. For years I succumbed to what I was ‘supposed’ to do and ignored what I was meant to do.

Until one day when everything clicked and I knew, I had to leap.

Everyday I am blessed to work with women with their own vision. They are led to me because they have listened to the call of their soul and they respond. They are ready. They are inspired and awake enough to receive the support that I am able to provide and everyday I get to do this work I am forever grateful. Because with every limitless life I help to change, I am changing my own.

Today I ask you this…what are you doing with your limitless life? Are you answering the call of your soul or are you trying to cancel it out by listening to what you think you ‘should’ do instead of what you are meant to do?

It’s time to answer the call and make a change. You have a limitless life with so many gifts to share with the world and it’s time you shared them.

If you are feeling the call of your soul and you are ready to respond, let’s schedule a 30-minute consultation to chat a bit more about your vision and how I may be able to support you. This is my life’s work and I am honored to be able to do it. I want you to feel the same about your limitless life.

I’m Afraid to Tell You This…

February 20, 2015 by Lamisha

There have been many moments in the last 2 years when I’ve wanted to share something with you but have been afraid of what you might think. I’ve held back and decided it might not be the right time or a good idea for fear of how it might change what you think of me.

But, I know I’m not doing you or myself any favors by not sharing the not so happy parts of my journey and as I was thinking over the last few months, I realized it’s time to share this with you.

I’ve been afraid to tell you about the 5-month period in 2014 when I thought I was going to have to close my business and give up on my dream. It was something I never thought I would do, but there were moments when I didn’t think I had a choice.

Lucky for me, I did.

From May – September last year, I struggled to make my business work. I had a handful of clients and the number was slowly dwindling down to almost nothing. But it wasn’t just that, I was struggling with something far worse…my identity.

I knew I wanted to coach. I knew I was meant for this work and I knew without a shadow of a doubt that this was my path. The problem came when I couldn’t quite figure out what I wasn’t doing ‘right’ in order to make my business thrive.

Looking back it became completely clear: I was allowing others to be my guru instead of listening to my intuition.

In fact, it got so bad at one point, I was questioning my skills, my coaching, and my dream of helping other women make their dream a reality.

On more than one night I cried out of fear, worry, and pure disappointment that somehow my entire path was being thrown off and I had somehow missed the mark. What was true was I had missed the mark, but it wasn’t in my path, it was by allowing someone else to throw me off it.

My heart and soul knew exactly what I needed to do, but I didn’t trust it. I allowed certain mentors and coaches lead the way because I was so new to it all, I thought they knew everything. And the truth is, they did…for their own path, but not for mine.

It took 5 months of desperation, fear, and distracted worry to lead me back to what I set out to do in the beginning…change lives.

It took many tearful nights and a whole lot of doubt for me to get to a space of clarity to see that yes I did know how to make things happen and I could listen to that inner voice inside that was telling me all along it would all work out.

Turns out she’s pretty smart.

Looking back on those moments, I am so glad I didn’t give up. I’m glad that I reached out to the right mentors that didn’t tell me what to do or try to convince me to do it their way.

I found people that would support me in my vision, who believed in me, and helped me tap into that power deep inside that helped me stay the course and not give up.

Did they question me when I became too fearful to fly?

Yes, but out of love and the desire to see me soar. But what they did for me more than anything else is remind me that above all else, I have to follow my heart-the very thing I teach all of my clients.

You see coaching isn’t about leading you in one direction or another or telling you how to do something. It’s a co-creative journey that when done well, will lead you back to the power you have had all along to create the amazing life of your dreams. Coaching is about clarifying your desires, uncovering your fears and other blocks, and empowering you in a way that reminds you, anything is possible.

I learned early on with the right support, you can make anything happen and it’s exactly why I do what I do.

After those scary 5 months of uncertainty, I now stand taller and more proud of my decisions because I know I am making them from the heart and honestly, there is nothing better.

If you have a dream that you aren’t ready to let go of and you need someone to support you along the way, I have 2 spots left in my Breakthrough program for February before my rates increase March 1st. Now is the time to make the commitment to yourself and the dream that has been following you for years. Are you ready to take that next step? If so, I invite you to sign up for a free 30-Minute Consultation to chat about how I might be able to help you. If I am not the right coach for you, I promise to help you find one that is.

The Truth About Living the Life of Your Dreams

February 12, 2015 by Lamisha

When I talk about living the life of your dreams, it comes with a certain spark and twinkle about what may be. Having a beautiful life full of amazing people, love, abundance, joy, and for me a career that I adore doing what I love. But, something I don’t often talk about is the not so sparkly stuff…you know the ‘life’ stuff.

I may have set up a pre-conceived notion that when you finally attain the life of your dreams then life is nothing but rainbows and sunshine. That money flows, your health is amazing, and your love life-well it’s better than ever before. And while yes that may be part of your story, it’s not all made up of rainbows and sunshine.

The truth is…shit happens.

I was reminded of this fact just last week.

My internet was down, my modem died, my dryer wasn’t working properly, and I ended up late to a client appointment because I mis-read my schedule…all on the same day.

The old me would have pitched a fit, complained, and made an annoying situation even worse by turning it into a bad day.

The new-growing-living-and-learning-me responded differently.

I handled all of the glitches with as much ease as I could and then I took the rest of the day off.

I like to think that I am living the life of my dreams. I am doing work I love, from home, and I have a beautiful family that I love with all my heart. Sure I have new goals and big things I want to accomplish this year and I know I will, but for now, I’m happy.

The difference between my pre-dream life living and now is that I used to allow my outer circumstances dictate how I think and feel about everything.

I am growing in that way because now I don’t do that nearly as often. Sure, there are times when I forget and have a moment or two where my vision is blurred and I react as opposed to respond to life, but I am still learning.

So, why am I telling you all this?

I’m telling you because there are SO many wonderful changes that come with living the life of your dreams aside from the ‘stuff’. Your mental shifts are worth more than the money, the house, the car, the job etc. Your mental shifts are incidentally what help you create the life of your dreams and help you when shit happens afterward.

In addition to ‘having it all’, you will:

Learn to respond to life in a loving way
Enjoy life so much more even with the ups and downs
Know that when shit happens, it doesn’t last forever
Be the example for others to do the same

And when I think back to those very important details about living this life, I find them to be far more valuable than the ‘stuff’.

There is so much to be gained in living the life of your dreams and if you aren’t currently living a life you love, what are you willing to change?

I currently have 2 spots left in my Breakthrough Program for February! This is my signature program that will not only shift your mindset, but help you create the life you’ve always wanted. If you’ve been thinking about how to take the next step toward your dream life, this is it!

Schedule your 30-Minute Consultation today to see if we are a good fit. I look forward to connecting with you!
