3 Things you need to make 2017 “your year”

January 3, 2017 by Lamisha

There is SO much excitement coming up for us around this time of year right?

There’s something about the idea of getting a clean slate and freshness of the new year that gets people motivated. Unfortunately, most of the people who are full of excitement and wonder around this time of year don’t get very far past January before they get stuck in a rut again.

This year, I want it to be different for YOU so I’m sharing with you 3 things you need in order to make 2017 officially ‘your year’ as so many of us claim. Check out the video below and if you do nothing else…TAKE ACTION.

Time waits for no one and neither does the future you!

Update + A few of my FAVORITE things

December 14, 2016 by Lamisha

Hey Friends!!

It’s been a pretty busy few weeks and I am SO excited to share an update with you of some exciting things that I’ve been working on and other things to come in 2017.

First, let me say that I am TOTALLY pumped about the fact that we are officially in planning mode and I am waiting anxiously for the last blissful week of the year that I have officially deemed my “planning time” to dig into my goals, projections, and intentions for the year ahead.

If you don’t know this by now, I LOVE all of the newness that comes with a new week, month, and the ultimate new year and while I have absolutely zero plans of going out partying to ring in 2017 in a few weeks, I am still super pumped with what’s to come.

Every year around this time, I get really excited about receiving one of my FAVORITE planners of all time- Leonie Dawson’s Create Your Shining Year planners. She has been creating these beautiful pieces of art to help wildly creative and soulful souls like me, set intentions, get clear on what you want to create and embrace in the new year and this year’s edition is GORGEOUS!

In fact, I was so excited about getting these that when she launched the pre-sale option in the summer, I jumped at the chance to get these little gems in my hand sooner rather than later. Now, to be honest, I have yet to crack them open and dig in (that’s what the last week of the year is really going to be used for), but I have been thumbing through them and I couldn’t wait to share these with you!

A few of my favorite bits in these beauties:

She has 2 versions! A Life & Biz planner so if you are just getting started with all this intention stuff and you don’t have a business, no worries- snag the LIFE Planner and be on your way
The added desk diary! She added this piece last year and I have to say that I’ve NEVER managed to use the same calendar/diary for an entire year until I used this one. It comes fully equipped with a gratitude section, goal setting for each month, money goals and extra doodling space.
100 Things to do in 2017! In each of the planners you can create a list of 100 things you want to do in that year. There’s no thing too big or small to include here so think of it as your individual annual bucket list if you will. I always have a ton of fun coming up with new things I’ve never done before. So cool!
Lots of lists! In addition to the 100 things list, there are also sections for books you want to read, new things you want to try, ways to shift/change your body, mind, and soul and so much more. She really includes all kinds of fun stuff.
It’s totally balanced! I love how Leonie really focuses on balance for your life. While I lean more toward the business planner, both have a wide variety of topics in the life version including creativity, soul, mind, body, family, relationships, finances, and home. The business version includes sections for finances, creating a shining team, systems, boundaries, education, customers, marketing etc.

So, I think it’s safe to say these beauties are by FAR my favorite planners. I’ve used them consistently over the last 3 years in my business and I plan on continually purchasing them.

If you know anything about the MOST successful people around the world you know that they set goals, measure them, focus on them, and have some sort of system in place to set their intentions to begin with. THIS is my secret weapon and I’m sharing it with you!

I highly recommend these to my clients and am currently offering a special bonus for anyone who purchases them through my affiliate link. By doing so, I may receive a small commission and YOU get free entry into my 2017 Vivid Visioning course starting in January.

The truth is I love these planners and if you are in my tribe, I know you will too so take a look and grab yours NOW before they are all sold out!

Order by December 15th and get yours by Christmas.

Order by the 20th and get your BONUS 2017 Vivid Visioning program FREE!

A Few of My Favorite (Planning) Things

** Some of the recommendations below are through affiliate programs, however I only share products I truly love and have successfully used. **

The holiday season is in full swing and many of us are starting to make plans for the new year.

I have to admit, I love this time of year. The sparkly lights, giving hearts, dreams of new things on the horizon, and the belief that anything is possible….of course I love all of that whether it’s the season or not.

As I begin dreaming of what 2015 holds for me, I want to share with you some of the tools I’ve used in the last year that have changed my life (and year) for the better. They are things I highly recommend to anyone looking to amp up their planning this year to ensure they have the best year yet.

When it comes to planning and dreaming, I am not your typical goal setter. In fact, I am going to be writing a post about this for The Huffington Post soon. I’m not the hard and fast goal setter with a map and strict deadlines to meet. Those methods just don’t work for me. I’m way more creative than that and I prefer to set intentions vs goals.

Planning:

For that I use Leonie Dawson’s fabulous workbook. 2014 was the first year I have implemented this amazing workbook and I am so happy I did. If you are looking for a way to say goodbye to 2014 and welcome in the new with a bit of creativity, flair, and a sacred practice, this is for you. And if you have a business you want to grow with some amazing new clients, offerings, and new ideas, she has a life & biz workbook for you.

Starting out 2014 with this workbook in my hot little hands was just what I needed to keep focused and it’s something I used the entire year. Check it out and if it feels right for you, I highly encourage you grabbing one of your own.

In fact, you can check out all the things it includes here: 2015: Creating Your Shining Year

Inspiration:

I started 2014 with a bang and tons of inspiration as I was reading one of my favorite books of all time and one that I recommend to anyone and everyone when I have the chance to and it is Inspired & Unstoppable: Wildly Succeeding in Your Life’s Work! by Tama Kieves.

Not only is this book one that I hold near and dear to my heart, but it is one that lit a fire inside me in a way no other book has. It’s all about paving your own path and letting your inspiration guide you to what is right for you in life & business. It is such a wonderful book that I am thinking of reading it again.

There is so much good info and best of all it reinforces what I strongly believe in and that is that when you follow your path, your inspiration is truly the guide. If you are looking for a highly inspiring read, check this one out.

Money Stuff:

I’ve shared this before, but it’s worth sharing again. I coach so many women around money and how they think and feel about money in general. It’s something we all deal with (including me). As I think about the new year with new income goals and intentions, there is a ton of stuff that comes up regarding money mindset and I promise that your money mindset is far more important than any of the actions you do in regards to money.

You also may know that I love Denise Duffield-Thomas’s work and I think she’s simply fantastic. Her books, her free audios, her Lucky Bitch program, etc. are all amazing and she has put together a holiday bundle that is to die for!! Not only that, but it’s at a super low rate until December 17th.

Check out her Lucky Bitch Christmas Bundle that includes: Lucky Bitch Manifesting Course, Meditations, Live Event Recordings, & her audio books. Crazy high value bundle for just $97. I have used her amazing meditations, listened to her books, and recordings and it has changed my money mindset in huge ways.

Dreaming, Scheming, & Visualizing 2015

The last thing I wanted to share with you about my planning process is something I am formalizing to do on my own and as an offer to you. When you think of what you want to accomplish for the new year, so many people think about the regular inside-the-box things like losing weight, saving money, or quitting some unhealthy task and all of those things are fine and good, but I have created a process that digs a bit deeper into a more meaningful and creative way of dreaming big for the year ahead.

It’s a process that I’ve done on my own and one I LOVE doing with other people (especially business owners) because I get to spark some ideas in my clients that they never would have thought about on their own.

This process is what I call Dream 2015. It’s a journey we take together in a 90-minute call where I ask you a bunch of questions to highlight what is most important to you both in your personal and professional life. We discuss how you want to feel. What you want to do. New things you want to try and I coach you around what is truly important for you.

For the duration of the call you are asked not to take notes, but instead to immerse yourself in the experience. To think, feel, imagine, brainstorm, and respond based on what feels best for you and after the call I will deliver an organized PDF of all the things we chatted about include a few next step items to help you get a jump start on your vision for the new year.

If you are a business owner this is especially fun because we will begin brainstorming awesome offers, collaborations, projects, and bring up some things to grow your business that you never thought about.

This offer is good for a limited time, so if you are interested, snag your spot here and let’s help you get dreamy so 2015 is your best year yet!

I want to hear from you. What are some of your favorite planning tools or practices for ensuring you have the best year yet? Share in the comments below as others may be looking for more inspiration. 🙂

A Look Into Your Future…

October 17, 2014 by Lamisha

Where will you be in 2015? I know it’s an odd question for the middle of October 2014, but think about it.

Imagine where you will be. What will you be doing? What doors are opening for you? What dreams are you achieving?

For you, it might look like the unveiling of your new business website or booking your very first client.

Or maybe the book you’ve always wanted to pitch is now being sent to the publishers for a final edit.

Maybe you find yourself booking your flights & accommodations for spending 6 months traveling the world.

Or you see yourself quitting that job you hate and stepping into the career of your dreams with more money, more purpose, and passion than ever before.

Maybe you just signed the lease for the brick & mortar shop of your dreams and are filling it up with all kinds of creative goodies that people will love.

Or you see yourself drawing, painting, writing, and creating amazing pieces that people are just breaking down your door to buy.

Maybe you are doing what you have always dreamed and that is spending time at home with your children while your creative business takes flight.

Or you see yourself putting the finishing touches on your home art studio and getting ready for your very first art showcase.

Maybe your dream is something else. Maybe it’s a bit smaller or much bigger than any of the things I’ve listed above, but the common denominator in all of those examples is that they are all possible. Every single detail. Anything you can imagine for your ideal life is possible.

But, you must first take the leap.

I want you to take a moment today and look at where you are. Not where you have been or what opportunities you have missed in the past. Look at where you are today.

Without the leap you will stay where you are. Where life is ‘ok’ and you settle for what you have. Your heart will push you and your desires will pull you, but without that leap, you stay exactly where you are. Dreaming of…one day, when all the pieces fit together and your dream is delivered magically to your front door.

But it doesn’t happen like that. You have to decide to take the first step. To utilize your freedom of choice to decide to stay where you are where it’s “safe” or leap out of your comfort zone and embrace the life you have always wanted.

I want you to ask yourself this question: What do I want most out of life? What is my vision for the future? Think about it. Paint the picture. Enjoy the feeling of having it already done.

And then ask yourself this: Am I ready? Am I ready to do what needs to be done? To take the leap and trust that the how will be revealed to me? Am I ready?

And if you answered “YES” then I invite you to schedule a 30-minute clarity call to find out how we can make that happen and the options that are available to you for getting started on that amazing dream of yours now. Not when the clocks strikes 12am on December 31st and we enter a new year, but right NOW.

You have the chance to move into 2015 living your dream, but you have to take the first step. I have a few coaching spots open for 2014, so if you are ready to get moving and live the freedom that the life of your dreams will bring, schedule your 30-minute clarity call below.

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!
