As of today, October 18th we have 74 days left in 2016!

How does that make you feel?

Excited? Terrified? Worried? Anxious? Feeling lost and left behind because all the things you wanted to accomplish for 2016 are still sitting on a dusty “To-Do” list that has never seen the light of day since you wrote it?

If that is you…RELAX.

74 days is PLENTY of time to make magic happen in your life and you are not behind at all.  In fact, what if you knew you were exactly where you were meant to be right this very moment?  What if everything that has happened in the last several months had to happen in order to deliver the most magical 74 days ahead?

This is 100% the truth.  Everything that has happened so far in 2016 no matter how tough, difficult, trying, and frustrating has molded who you are, what you think, and how you believe TODAY.  But, what you do moving forward doesn’t depend on the last several months at all.  What you do now depends on what you desire.

So, what is it?  How do you want to end 2016?

Do you want to end it the same way you entered with lots of dreams, ambition, desire, and motivation to finally change your life OR do you want to actually SEE those changes in your life before the clock strikes 12 and welcomes in 2017?

Chances are, you want to end this year with the massive BANG and BEAUTY that it deserves.  The excitement and expansion YOU deserve.  Am I right?

I’ll be honest, 2016 has not been the best year for me all the way around, but there have been a ton of high points and I’m determined to make the remaining 74 days high points as well and I’m inviting you to join me.

Here’s how:

For the rest of the week I am offering you the chance to work with me at a price YOU set.  So, if you’ve been thinking about working with me 1:1, but haven’t pulled the trigger for whatever reason, now is your chance!

Let me help you make the remaining 74 days of the year the best they can possibly be and set you up for success in 2017!

The best part is that I’ve created a no-brainer opportunity for you to get the coaching, practical support and mindset help in a way and at a price that YOU can afford.  But, I’m only able to offer this to 5 people total (and 1 of those spots is gone already!).

If you are ready to make the most of the remaining 74 days of the year and join forces with me to do so, all you have to do is apply for this crazy-brilliant opportunity by FRIDAY October 21st 2016.  Once your application is in, I’ll be reviewing everything and replying to your offer.

I’m calling this the Make Me An Offer offer!

All you have to do is click the button below and apply!  Easy-peasy!

Now, truth be told I’m not sure if I’ll ever do something like this again so, if this is something you are interested in, please put your offer in ASAP.  I promise I will get back to you as soon as possible!

Remember 74 days is PLENTY of time to create effective change in your life, so why wait until 2017? Let’s get started now.

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.

COFFEE

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!!

 

Shifting, Changing, and Rearranging Services and Prices

by

Happy Hump Day Everyone!

While today is normally my day to post the Dream Changer post, I have decided to write a slightly different post for this week.  The Dream Changer series will continue next Wed, but with so much going on in my own journey and the journey of my clients, I wanted to share a little bit with you about change.

As you know, I have come out of the ‘woo-woo’ closet and am fully embracing the spiritual side of myself and my coaching practice.  With that comes a slight change in my content, a shifting of my pricing structure, and how I offer my coaching services to you.

My biggest concern in all of this is to be able to serve you better in all ways.  In personal coaching, group coaching, and new master classes that I will be sharing with you in the coming months.

This is a very exciting time my clients, myself, and I would venture to say you too.  It seems that the seeds we plant in the Spring are beginning to grow and burst through the soil to reveal fresh green ideas, solutions, and bigger dreams than ever before.

If you are experiencing this same unfolding, I want you to know you are not alone.  It feels like life and time are speeding up and as we try desperately to catch up to wherever it is we are meant to be, it can get a little overwhelming.  Should you find yourself in that same overwhelm mode, I encourage you to do a few things.

  1. Be still- Take time out of the ‘action’ to just be.  Take a nap, go for a walk, or just be outdoors without your phone.  Allow yourself to enjoy the beauty that comes from just being in the moment.
  2. Be easy-This means being easy with yourself, with your family and friends, and whomever else you come in contact with.  The world is shifting and we are all feeling the somewhat crazy feelings of overwhelm and big ideas and are being forced to stand in our power in ways we never thought we could, so be easy with yourself and know that you don’t have to do it all right now.
  3. Listen- Listen to your body, your mind, and most of all your inner voice that has amazing wisdom to guide you along your path.  Allow your intuition to guide you forward and make sure you pay attention to the feelings and inklings you get as you move forward.

I am seeing and feeling for myself a ton of energy that has the potential to launch us forward into amazing success and at the same time a fear of what is shifting, changing, and rearranging in our lives.  I want you to know it is ok.  It is perfectly ok to feel the uncertainty.  Feel it and allow it to be there for a moment, then move forward when you feel the time is right.  This is YOUR path and YOUR story and YOUR dream, so allow yourself to enjoy it as much as possible.  We weren’t meant to do it all in one day, so take a break, a breather, and relax a bit if it gets to be too much.

Part of the shifting and changing for me has to do with my work.  Who I work with, how I work, and what I charge are all changing a bit and since it is changing, I wanted to give you an opportunity to sign up to work with me at my current rates.  Now, here’s the deal.  I am willing to honor my current prices for coaching ($75 per session) for a period of 2 months IF you sign up for a 30-Minute consultation by May 2nd (that is next Friday).

I am doing this for two reasons, one is that I know there are many of you who have thought about working with me and just haven’t yet made the leap to do so and because this price increase came on a bit suddenly, I want to give you an opportunity to sign up under a lower price.  My new rates will be double what I am charging now per session so, if you are interested in utilizing this offer, I encourage you to contact me today!  Remember I need to hear from you regarding your 30-minute consultation by May 2nd to receive the current pricing.  

In the meantime, take it easy and allow these shifts and changes that are happening in your world to occur with ease and flow.  It’s all working out for you even when it feels like it isn’t…and remember if you need someone to chat with to move through the blocks and barriers you may be feeling, reach out.  We are moving into a space of collaboration and community so reach out and ask for help if you need it!

Lessons Learned In: The Faces Of Opportunity and Being Open

by

I am coming out of my cranky fog and realizing I learned some pretty hefty lessons this week.  While it wasn’t the most progress-oriented week I have ever had, it is certainly one heavy in life lessons.

Lesson: Opportunities come with many faces, the key is accepting them even when they are in disguise. fall apart

After learning that my current full-time gig would be coming to an end at the end of this year, I recently heard that many other employees were given their pink slip with only 2 weeks to spare.  This shocking news puts a lot of people in some seemingly tough situations as they plan for what is to come.  Some are worrying about how they will pay the bills and take care of their families (understandably so), but I can’t help but see this as an opportunity to move into something better.  In fact, one of my coworkers is thinking of following a passion she has had for many years, to which I responded “YES, Do that!!”  As the saying goes, when one door closes another one opens and I believe that 100%.  It seems we are moving into a time when doing what we are “supposed” to do is not only uninspiring and boring, but it isn’t what we are meant to do.

Opportunities are popping up in some fun, exciting, sometimes shocking ways to get your attention, so listen up!  See the opportunity and be grateful that you have an opportunity to do something different.  And should you find yourself in a similar lay-off position, by golly take it as a blessing and a sign to move onward and upward.  The unknown can be scary, but it is also exciting to know that something better is coming only you get to decide what that is!  So watch as the faces of opportunities appear around you and respond accordingly by following your inspiration.  And don’t forget what I wrote yesterday…don’t borrow trouble!

Lesson: Be open to negative emotions and feelings and they will easily float on by.  Fight them and they hang on for dear life.

This lesson came full force yesterday in the midst of my gray cloud of confusion.  I had this icky feeling I couldn’t pinpoint and I wanted nothing more than to move on from the down feeling it was leaving me with.  Only when I stopped fighting it and stopped trying to rationalize it was I able to be open to it fully.  I didn’t try to change it or soothe it, I simply allowed it to be and an amazing thing happened.  It quickly began to loosen its grip on my mood and as the sun set, I was feeling better.

The next time you feel an icky, less than ideal feeling and you can’t quite figure it out, try being open to it instead of fighting it.  The more you fight, the more power you give to the mood/negativity that you are trying to avoid and by allowing it to flow through you, you create a path for it to float peacefully away.

What lessons have you learned this week?

I hope you have a lovely weekend and as always thank you for reading!

 

Winds Of Change

by

My how the winds of change sweep in so quickly, or so it has seemed recently.  I mentioned last week how I had some good feelings about the rest of the year.  I felt like something was on the verge of happening in my writing world and it was going to be great.  I also mentioned that what I thought was going to happen didn’t.  With that said the winds of change are blowing and they are blowing in an unexpected, unforeseen opportunity that will help me move forward towards beginning my life coach training program.

What is it you ask?

This week I was notified of a change in some of my work responsibilities at my day job that will mean more work, more hours, but some extra income as well.  Doesn’t sound like a good change does it? Actually it is a good thing because the added income will be just what I need to move towards setting a date to begin my life coach training (more on that later).  It is also a reason to celebrate because I feel like I am truly making progress and progress is always a good thing.

I am also seeing change  in a new light.

Change and I have never been friends, in fact change is something that I both crave and fear.  Not knowing where my path may lead fills me with both excitement and dread as I begin to think of all of the possibilities that can come from it.  I guess it also depends on what type of change we are talking about, but this type of change that allows me to move forward towards my dreams is a change I am ready to make.  And while the added income will be great, there are some other trade offs I have to be willing to make in the short-term.

One of which is more work and potentially more stress.  More items on my to-do list that will require more organization and balance of my time.  Add to that weekend hours that I am not used to and the potential for a very chaotic, stress-filled experience.  But, since I know this ahead of time I am choosing to be proactive in my efforts.  Planning my time accordingly and remembering the benefits of this current sacrifice.  More money and more savings mean I can begin my training much sooner.

In addition to that, the more time I spend in a job that I don’t love is more motivation to work on getting my ducks in a row to begin my journey towards my life coaching business.  This may be a mini step and a little sacrifice, but in my book it is also a huge opportunity to move forward.  And for that I am thankful as I welcome the winds of change, for they are not only changing this moment, but have the opportunity to change the rest of my life.

Maybe change isn’t so bad after all.
