Walking My Talk & Investing in Me

November 11, 2014 by Lamisha

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.

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. 🙂

***DISCLAIMER: This post does include affiliate links to programs I have tried and highly recommend. I never suggest any product or service that I don’t have first hand experience with. ***

If you know me personally or have worked with me you know that I am all about personal growth.

I am always looking for ways to learn, expand, and grow not only to provide the best service I can, but also so I can continue to reach to new heights personally.

In the process I have stumbled upon some amazing books, practices, & products that have changed my life. They are things I often suggest to my clients because I like to share the love. It’s that simple.

So, today I share with you a list of things I not only love, but things that have changed my life for the better.

All time favorite book….

Inspired & Unstoppable: Wildly Succeeding in Your Life’s Work! by Tama Kieves
It is the book I go back to over and over again when I need a little reminder to follow my inspiration & intuition. I love it so much I actually ran a giveaway earlier this year to gift a copy to one lucky winner. This book will change how you think of success and it will reinforce what you already know and what I have been sharing with you for as long as I have been writing and that is…Follow Your Heart. Always. If you are just setting out on your journey to freedom and the living the life of your dreams, this is the book for you.

For setting intentions & tracking progress…

I adore Leonie Dawson for her creative brilliance & her authenticity and the moment I found her 2014 Create Your Amazing Year Life & Biz Workbook, I fell in love with it. Everything in that workbook lights me up. It is full of amazing artwork, insightful questions, practical tips, and magical rituals to help you make your year amazing. She is making some upgrades to it for 2015 and I can’t wait for it to be available for purchase. If you are looking for something a bit more creative and fun to use as you plan your year ahead, I highly encourage you to check it out. (I’ll share reminders once the 2015 version is available!)

For money mindset & manifesting…

Another woman I simply adore is Denise Duffield-Thomas. I have been following her for about a year now and when I was ready to learn a bit more about releasing my old worn-out beliefs about money, I jumped right into her Lucky Bitch Money Bootcamp. To say that it changes your life is a gross understatement. It not only changed my relationship with money, but how I think of it altogether. She covers everything from upgrading your life to dealing with past money memories and releasing the money blocks that we all have. I also have to say that the Lucky Bitch community has been amazing! There are so many incredible people who have joined the program that makes this program so special. This has been by far one of the best investments I have made in myself. If you are considering a manifestation course, I highly encourage you to check this out & you can even get a taste of what she teaches in her Money in 24 Hours audio for free.

For clearing & releasing blocks…

This year was the first time I had ever done anything with EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). I had heard about it for years, but never tried it until early this year. It might seem a little weird to you if you have never tried it, but the results are amazing. I tap just about every day and it has changed my life. I have used it for anxiety, frustration, fear, money mindset junk, and so many other issues I have dealt with in this last year and it instantly shifts how I am feeling. If you are interested in some high vibrational ways to shift from fear to confidence or from lack to abundance, check it out. I’ve included a few of my favorite EFT practitioners and their videos for you to take a look at. Let me know your thoughts.

David Childerley & Brad Yates both have some awesome videos available.

I also want to offer you my free Overwhelm to Action audio to help you get through all the ideas you have so you can gain some clarity on how to start taking action today! Simply sign up here to receive your free audio.

So what are some of the tools you have used to help you grow, evolve, and become all that you want to be? Do you have a favorite book, practice, or program that you just love? Share in the comments below, I’d love to check it out!

Dream Changer-Featuring Isis Arjeta

April 17, 2014 by Lamisha

***I am a little behind with posting the latest Dream Changer feature this week, however this one is worth the wait. I am so excited to present to you the amazing transformative journey of a dear friend, co-teacher of the Unleash Your Personal Power course, overall amazing healer and soul sister, Isis Arjeta. I know you will leave this post feeling anything is possible and I encourage you to check Isis out online and on her Facebook page to learn more about what she can do to help you grow, heal, and evolve into the abundant and amazing soul you are meant to be.***

“You may say that I’m a DREAMER….”

Since I can remember I’ve known that I am destined for an amazing life… to change the world for the better, and really make a difference in people’s lives. The how has never been clear, but a dream is all you need, right? In following my dreams,I’ve flung myself wholeheartedly on so many life paths I can no longer count them. I attended college for 6 years, and achieved the glorious Associate of Arts they give to people who don’t know what they want to DO with their lives. I’ve changed directions and dreams so many times that it has become a magical, colorful tapestry of experience and growth.

In the process of weaving this tapestry, I worked in a busy ER and collected some wild stories about the crazy things humans do. I’ve processed paperwork, I hung out with alter-able adults, and became a massage therapist. I sold books on amazon, I moved cross country in a home-made caravan, and I learned what it means to be a New Age Hippy. I’ve had a mohawk, long shiny blonde hair, and several sets of dreadlocks. I’ve worn high end pumps, and been barefoot and broke. I’ve crossdressed, been a nudist, and I’ve sold my dirty laundry online to fetish lovers. I stepped out of societies labels and boxes and altered my consciousness in ways most people can’t even imagine. But it still didn’t satisfy my dreams of radical success and happiness.

The real shift in my life happened when I decided it was time to actually manifest what I’ve been dreaming. No matter what I do, I want it to be EASY. Yes, you heard it, easy. I was always told that life is hard, nothing is easy, and certainly you never get anything for free. Inside I always laughed, because something in me KNEW that it was a lie. It doesn’t make any sense to me that with all the resources and incredible talent present in a world filled with 7 billion creative souls, anyone would be destined to suffer and work hard.

Yet every time I tried to build a business, make a name in the world, or just be happy, something went wrong. It wasn’t easy, and I had to work very very hard. It left me with a rage and hatred that the world could be so cruel… and deep self-loathing that I couldn’t figure out how to make my dreams real. How does one small human being change the world?

One day I gave up. I screamed a desperate prayer at God (which I hadn’t done since I was a teenager) that said something like “F*ck you, I give up. What am I supposed to do? I believe in an easy, blissful, and abundant life for all beings, but everytime I try to make it real, something is in my way. What gives?”

For the first time since I was little, I actually received a full-on answer from Spirit. A Voice spoke to me and said “You are the only one standing in your way. Get your sabotaging beliefs and all those angry emotions out of your mind and heart, and the world you see will change before your eyes.” So I thought, “I need some help with that, I don’t even know where I’m stuck.” The Universe kept answering me, and the perfect teacher showed up – I could literally see her bright angel wings outlined behind her head. So yet again, I took a wild leap of faith, and signed up for an EFT and Hypnotherapy training class at The Miracle Center of California. “My dream is so big, I need a Miracle to make it happen,” I thought.

“…But I’m not the only one…”

My first day of class, everything changed. Robin Duncan, my angel teacher, used EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and Hypnotherapy to help me release trauma and angst from my childhood as well as lifetimes of experiences, and she encouraged my dreams. For the first time EVER, I met others who also believed that life can be easy and beautiful in every single moment. It requires a complete shift in how you perceive the world, but with access and tools to clear to the subconscious, it is EASY!

According to A Course in Miracles (my FAVORITE life guide), a Miracle is defined as a shift in perception from fear to love. Who doesn’t want to do that, right? Sometimes our subconscious and emotional beliefs make that difficult though, and learning EFT and Hypnotherapy gave me the ability to shift my perceptions on all levels. It became so simple to shift my experiences on a daily basis that I am now living in a whole new way – with ease and grace, no matter what challenges I seem to face. I had never realized how much of my time and energy was wasted on fear, complaining, and trying to figure out the details.

“…I hope someday you’ll join us…”

I couldn’t believe how fast that initial shift happened. I literally looked like I had a facelift after that first session – and I felt 20 years younger. Within months I had quit my spa job and was running my own home-based massage and healing business. Nearly two years later I am now living the life I always dreamed of, filled with ease and daily Miracles. My lifelong dream of living in the tropics came true this year when I moved to Maui, Hawaii where I play and dance and swim in the ocean every day. I am able to share the gift of EFT and Hypnotherapy with clients from all over the world, in person and through the internet. I have created e-courses to help others make the same kind of shift into an easy and fulfilling life, and I teach in-person certification courses in EFT and other energy healing modalities. I am truly blessed that my dreaming world is now my waking life. I wake up every morning in Paradise, with the awareness that my DREAM is my REALITY.

I am still in awe of the transformation that occurs when we access the subconscious patterns we’ve accepted as our identities and shift them into what we truly desire. I believe that every person on earth has a very special purpose and mission – to make an impact, to change the world, and to be filled with love and gratitude in every moment. What is holding YOU back from living a life of ease, while changing the world for the better?

If you are ready to make a radical shift in your life and allow your dreams to become your everyday reality – to live on easy street and be filled with radical joy and excitement – I want to hear from you!

What do YOU want?

March 31, 2014 by Lamisha

With the release of the Unleash Your Personal Power e-course that starts tomorrow, I have had this consistent question come up for myself and my clients over and over again. And if you know me, you know that when I see a theme appear, I take notice.

The theme this time boils down to one question: “What do YOU want?”

It seems like a simple enough question, but when was the last time you asked yourself that? It seems we are far more tapped into what we think we need as opposed to what we want in life. Add to that questions like: What do you want…to feel, to see, to experience, to be, etc., and the question can get a bit convoluted.

I know on any given day, I am more likely to share with someone what I ‘need’ to get done rather than what I actually need or want for that matter. Ask me what I want and I might be stumped for a moment if I am so far entrenched in my ‘have to’ list.

Why is that?

There seems to be a general perception that giving and doing are far more important than allowing and being. So when we take the time to see what we

really want, it feels foreign and often uncomfortable. It is of course necessary to feel the discomfort in order to move through it and identify what it is we truly want.

The truth is this: You have the ability and power to make your life happy, just as you have the ability and power to make your life less than happy. You can choose to thrive or simply survive. The choice is yours to make. However, if you are merely surviving what life throws your way then you are not really harnessing the unlimited power you have within to make this life amazing and magical. It may be that you don’t have the tools, practices, confidence, or knowledge you need to use that power. And if you fall into that boat then I assure you the Unleash Your Personal Power is the course for you.

This course isn’t just about getting what you want in life, it’s so much more than that. This course will teach you effective and life-changing tools and practices to live the best life possible all the way around. It is being offered by myself and three other talented women who have collectively coached and taught hundreds of people to harness and utilize their own power. If ever you have thought about how to live the best life possible starting now, this course is for you.

This self-paced e-course begins tomorrow and to make it even easier for you to join us, we are offering a payment plan option so it is affordable for everyone. This course is transformational, inspirational, and full of power.

You already have the power within to make your life amazing, we simply want to introduce you to it. Are you ready to join us? If so you can sign-up, learn more about the teachers of the program and try out a free meditation here. Life is far too short to merely survive what life throws at you. This is your chance to thrive!
