The Power of Collaboration & Group Coaching for YOU!

by

A few months back I was working on the Unleash Your Personal Power e-course with 3 other amazingly talented women and it was one of the best experiences I have ever had.  In fact, since then the ladies and I have grown very close and have sort of developed our own little mastermind group of support as we move forward on other projects!

What started as a professional project collaboration quickly developed into a powerhouse of wisdom, care, and compassion from other women on a similar journey as me and it has proven to be invaluable!

I got the brilliant idea to create an opportunity like that for my tribe.  An opportunity to share, learn, grow, and reach beyond your boundaries with other like-minded soul sisters and that is just what I did!

The 3-Month Group Coaching Program for Business-Minded Women is a wonderful opportunity for you to gain support and learn from not only myself, but up20-women(1) to 19 other business-minded women who like you have been through (or are going through) the ‘stuff’ that comes with doing work you love.  Whether you are an artist with an Etsy shop or a healer with a Reiki practice or somewhere in between, this is a wonderful coaching opportunity is individual coaching in a group setting.

This program is catered to the needs of those in the group and will focus on things like breaking through the self-limiting beliefs, shifting your money mindset, how to untangle your web of ideas, and so much more!  The lovely Isis Arjeta and Crystal Davis will be coming in to do a masterclass at no extra cost to you and I assure you their expert tips and advice if implemented, will dramatically shift your mindset and how you do business.

While it might seem like this is a ‘business coaching program’, it’s not.  This is all about WHO you are, HOW you think, and WHAT you feel throughout your business experience, things that are all directly related to your success as a business woman. 

I know that when like-minded women come together to collaborate and communicate with one another in a supportive and understanding environment there is no room for competition.  Instead there is a community of caring, supportive, and incredibly understanding soul sisters who are powerful beyond belief!  That is what this program promises to deliver on top of the amazing creative ideas, collaborations, and relationships that will surely be built throughout the 3-month period.  It will also provide you with tons of insightful advice, actionable steps, and practical tools to help you level-up in your business and personal life.  Between our bi-weekly calls, emails, exercises, private Facebook group, and the invaluable nuggets of information you will receive from Isis and Crystal, this all-inclusive program is like a beacon of light to the business-minded woman looking for support, understanding, and practical tools to keep you moving!

Sound interesting?

Because I am limiting the group to a max of 20 participants and I am offering a money back guarantee for the first month I will be scheduling intake sessions to make sure this program is what you are looking for.  I trust that the right souls will come together for this amazing opportunity starting in June and if you want to be part of that, all you have to do is schedule your intake session below.  For more information on the program, the investment, and all the extra goodies that are involved, click here.

I can’t wait to see what amazing women come together to share in this journey!

P.S. There is still time to get signed up for the Money Mindset Masterclass that is happening on May 22nd at 8pm EST.  If you could use a little (or big) shift in your money mindset to bring in more money, more prosperity, and more clients go ahead and sign up!  The call will be recorded and emailed to everyone after the call so if you can’t make it live, sign up anyways so you don’t miss the awesome info!!

 

Recent Lessons & Major Breakthroughs

by

Let your light shine!
Let your light shine!

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

by

 

***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!

I Got The Message, “Let Go and It Will Grow”

by

In light of being completely and 100% authentic with you lovely readers I wanted to share something that happened a few weeks ago.  It is something that I have only shared with 2 people for fear others might think I’m crazy and while the “crazy” part is likely true,  I think it’s an important message to share with you.

A few weeks ago I was dealing with some major fear, anxiety, and frustration around what was or wasn’t happening in my business.  I created my business Facebook page, I set up a pay what you can offer and created my mailing list sign-up and they were going nowhere.  Add to that the anxiety of what may or may not be coming next for me job-wise and you can imagine I was a mess.  Even as a life coach, I still find myself fighting back the doubt sometimes.

So there I was, trying desperately through anxious-action to make things happen.  (When will I ever learn??) I was researching, reading, writing, and trying to come up with a plan.  A solid, no-nonsense, fool-proof plan to bring in the right clients.  I could feel the stress building and my Dream Crusher was coming in loud and clear.

I heard her say, “You have NO idea what you are doing.”, “You don’t know anything about business.”, “You should really just find another job and be done with it.”, “You have a family to help take care of for goodness sake.” “You are a fraud!”

She wasn’t being very nice and while I could have continued to let that voice take over my thoughts and cause me to give up, I didn’t.  Instead I meditated.

I knew I had to quiet the fearful thoughts that were flowing through my mind so I sat down, closed my eyes, and let them go.

My 15 minute meditation felt much longer and much deeper than what I am used to and I was not at all prepared for what happened next.  Just as my thoughts floated away, I saw a beautiful butterfly in my mind’s eye with two fingers holding onto one of the wings.  The other wing was furiously flapping as the butterfly was trying to get away.  In that moment I heard “Let go and it will grow.”

What?!butterfly

I meditate at least 5 times a week, sometimes more and during my morning meditations, I very rarely hear or see anything.  I have heard experiences where some people get great inspiration and insight from their meditations, but I don’t experience it quite as clear.  That is until that moment.

A few days later, after hearing the message 2-3 more times (not in meditation), I really felt the significance.

The fluttering and frantic butterfly was me and the fingers holding one of the butterflies wings was also me.  I was the one holding myself back.  Instead of following my intuition and inspiration and allowing that to lead me to the next thing (the way I coach others), I was trying too hard to make something happen.  I was acting out of fear instead of inspiration.  I allowed the doubt, fear, and frustration to send me into a tizzy that resulted in a lot of needy action.

I wasn’t thinking clearly.

I wasn’t following my own advice.

I wasn’t listening to my intuition.

Until that moment.

The message “Let go and it will grow.” has come back to me time and time again.  When I find myself struggling to find a solution or plan right this moment, I know I am trying too hard.  When I am trying to force things to work a very specific way, I know I have lost my faith.  When I am too focused on what I feel is going wrong instead of seeing what is going right, I have lost my way.  When I am too focused on blog views, new followers, new likes on Facebook, and the lack of clients, I am forgetting what is important.

My intuition tells me that letting go of the outcome and detaching from whatever I believe should be the end result is going to help things along.  When I let go of the butterfly and allow it the freedom to fly, I free up energy that can be used for other things.  I know this to be true because I have seen it happen over and over again in other areas of my life.

With a strong vision, belief in myself, and my work, things will keep moving forward. 

Do you have something you need to be easy about instead of trying so damn hard?  Take a step back for a while and do things you truly enjoy.  You just might be amazed at what happens next.

 

Lessons Learned In: Unplugging & Balance

by

Well friends, the weekend is coming to an end and as I end this (partial) unplugged weekend, I learned some very valuable lessons that I want to share with you.

Lesson: Unplugging from technology may be difficult, but it is well worth the time and effort for the amount of peace and serenity it provides.

I have to say that when I set the intention to spend the weekend “unplugged” I hadn’t put much thought behind it.  I knew I needed some time away from the constant feed of emails, constant Facebook feeds, and the endless supply of information simply because I spend so much time through the week connected for my day job, my business, and my side gigs, I often am left feeling depleted and frazzled.  I thought it would be easy to leave the phone behind and not scramble to check my emails every time I had a new notification.  I was wrong.  It was much more difficult than I thought.  Though on Friday, just after making my declaration in my last post, I took a book outside and sat in the mild South Carolina weather and read for about 20 minutes and I couldn’t help but feel free.  I felt the tension ease in my shoulders and a growing sense of peace fall over me as I collapsed into the nothingness that became my Friday evening.

As the weekend wore on, I had an on/off relationship with peace.  While the frazzled feeling never returned, I checked my email a few times as well as my Facebook page, though not nearly as often as I would have.  I was making progress.  Today, was by far the best since I was able to disconnect almost completely and only picked up the computer now to write this post.  What I found about this semi-unplugged time was that it is far more a habit than I realized and it is something I could stand to give up every once in a while.  In fact, I intend to be more mindful of my email/Facebook checking even throughout the week as it can end up being a drain of not only my energy, but also my time.

Another thing I realized about this time is that I was far less focused on measurements of various things such as website statistics and Facebook likes.  Things that when you think about it are nothing but numbers.  It can be far too easy to fall into the trap of thinking that certain numbers (or lack there of) mean one’s success or failure.  Taking time away from those measurements has definitely allowed me to relax about business related things as well.  All-in-all, this intention taught me that it is not only healthy, but necessary to take time away from things every once in a while to allow you to reconnect with nature, family, and friends.  It’s nice to let go of our online lives for a bit so we don’t miss what life is all about.

Lesson:  Work/life balance is even more important when you own your own business.

Since I have been juggling many responsibilities for the past few months, I have begun to feel a drain on my energy and my capacity to focus on certain things.  Not only have I placed more focus on my business and put more effort into ways to market myself and get new clients, but I have also increased my freelance writing work as well.  In the process of all this work I began to lose my sense of ease and flow.  I was so focused on doing the next thing and figuring out how to move forward that I forgot to just relax, breathe, and flow with life.  Sounds kinda airy-fairy, I know but I realized even in the early stages of my business how crucial it is for me to maintain a good work/life balance.

So, as I embraced the idea of being “unplugged” this weekend, I was eager to get out and do something just for fun with no thought to what I “should” be doing.  In fact, I didn’t do any work all weekend long which is a first for me at least recently.  I am teaching myself to get into the practice of not only taking time away from technology every now and then, but also to do things for fun.  Life is meant to be enjoyed right?

How was your weekend?  Did you unplug and enjoy time with friends and family?
