nspirational Video–Believe in Yourself
How has this first month of 2012 been for you and your business? What tone have you set for the year with your plans, actions, and thoughts? Do you want to push the "reset" button or the "repeat" button?
Sometimes a little inspiration is helpful to get motivated, pick yourself up, refocus, shift paths, or feel encouraged to keep moving forward. Here's a short video clip to help you do just that.
Is My Manifestor Broken?
Guest Blog, David Neagle
Today's blog post comes from one of my favorite mentors, David Neagle, from his portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life.”
Question: David. My ability to manifest what I want is in the toilet. I’ve desired, I’ve believed and I’ve acted, and yet, I’m still stuck in the same place I was 5 years ago. I’m not talking about spending weeks or months for the manifestation, but many years. There’s obviously a lesson to be learned, but I don’t know what it is. What am I missing?
Answer: Ah, yes. I love this question.
First let’s all get on the same page. There are a lot of people out there who don’t actually know the meaning of manifestation. They think that manifestation is creating something from nothing. They couldn’t be further from the truth.
My 3 Simple New Year’s Planning Steps For 6- and 7-Figure Growth
Guest Blog–Kendall Summerhawk, Money, Marketing & Soul
I've been following Kendall Summerhawk for a couple of years and really resonate with her teachings. I got to meet her last year at a David Neagle event, which was a thrill for me! (see picture below) Today I am sharing a post from her blog so you can benefit from her insight and experience.
"If planning isn’t something you do easily, then you’ll especially appreciate the tips I’m sharing with you. I think you’ll find they make it easy for you to clarify your vision, to get focused on what matters most and to stretch yourself into reaching new goals."
Here is a summary of the points.
Start Your New Year Planning with This Essential Tool
Happy New Year everyone!
How did you start your 2012? I've been busy all day purging and cleaning and organizing! Some of it was from the holidays and some of it was "incompletions" and long-standing to do's I've been wanting/meaning to get to. Boy, does it ever feel so good to have a majority of those things taken care of! I'm so happy those things cleared from my energy and not bring the heaviness and disruption of it into 2012.
As a business owner (or aspiring one), I hope you took some time today/this weekend to review 2011 and start planning for 2012. I have been doing this for the past few days and will continue when I meet with my business coach, Pamela Bruner, in a couple of weeks for our MasterMind retreat.
When I finally got smart and hired my first business coach (this should be a priority for you this year if you don't have one), she taught me one essential planning tool right away that I implemented and has made a huge difference for me in my planning and organizing of my time and events.
A New Year's Gift to Achieve Your Goals in 2012
A new year is closing fast and a new one is about to begin.
What did you accomplish in 2011? What did you not? How do you want 2012 to be better?
Rather than making the typical New Year's Resolutions (which I don't recommend, as stated in my blog here), below are a few ideas–and a free gift–for ending the year on a positive note and starting the year off with the right attitude and resources to truly make 2012 a breakout year.
Dump the New Year's Resolutions!
Now that Christmas is over, peoples' attention turns toward the new year.
Along with New Year's festivities, most also begin to reflect on what they did or didn't accomplish over the year and with the emotioin of guilt, regret, frustration, or despair pushing them, make a "vow" (or resolution) to do better in the coming year, usually setting some lofty goal in relation to their weight, habits, job, or finances.
Unfortunately, most will never make it past February with regard to taking positive and consistent action to achieve this transformation. A very slim percentage will have accomplished just one of them by the turn of the next year. But there is hope for you!
CHANGE for a Dollar
Follow a man as he affects multiple peoples' lives with just one dollar, proving that it doesn't take much to be the change in someone's life, and that you can make a difference for people even if you don't have a lot of money to give.
An Exercise in Awareness for the New Year
Guest Blogger – Linda Robinson, She Gets Inspired
As we step through the doorway from one year to the next, it’s natural to want to look back and ahead to the future. But this year, instead of just reflecting on the past year or making New Year’s resolutions, I invite you to take some time to examine where you are right now in your life.
Who are you? What do you believe? What do you really need? Read more
Deep Gratitude for 5 Years and Counting!
I wanted to video tape this entry today, but I didn’t think I’d get through it without tearing up.
It was 5 years ago this week that I began working for myself full-time as a hypnotherapist and wellness coach. Tonight I am throwing a big party to celebrate my success and my clients’ successes, and express my extreme gratitude for all who have helped me along the way. I’m excited to see old and new clients, friends, family, and networking partners–about 50 are expected.
If you’ve read “My Story” on my website, it was a very stressful and scary time for me in December 2006, and I had several major “losses”/transitions going on all at once. I wasn’t sure at that time how I would make it in business on my own. Read more
Clearing Resistance to Attracting Money & Prosperity
I don’t know about you, but prosperity consciousness (i.e., the belief that I can have lots of money and the other things I want) was a struggle for me many years after I started working for myself full time.
Although I’ve been able to support myself well enough and never lived paycheck to paycheck or run up bad credit card debt, my income seemed to keep hitting the same less-than-ideal ceiling.
But what was stopping me was NOT the state of things “externally” (e.g., the economy, other people, lack of resources, etc.), but rather the state of things “internally”—in my mind. I was never taught or had role models for affluence or business ownership, and in some ways I learned that you shouldn’t want to have a lot of money because it’s self-indulgent, or if you have it you’ll probably lose it.
Over the past few years I’ve begun working with the Law of Attraction principles and various mentors, teaches & coaches who have helped me understand and harness these principles more effective. Thanks to the internet, there are a lot of great resources to access and I’m always looking for things I can do to improve the process.
I wanted to share these videos I found on YouTube that guide you through some EFT (meridian tapping) to release discomfort and limiting beliefs about money. (It had to be broken down into 3 videos due to YouTube’s former rule limiting videos to 10 minutes).
I’ve been doing this tapping sequence in the morning (about 15 minutes) and have already had several new/renewing clients. One prospect called me and set up an ppointment 5 minutes after I completed this video series for the first time!
