What is BLOCKING YOU?

TAKE ACTION..NOW

Are you STUCK.?

Most entrepreneurs get stuck on STEPPING out and actually doing—doing whatever it takes to create momentum and supercharge their business.

The reason they are reluctant to take the action steps that will help them grow and prosper is FEAR.

They are afraid of failing; they are afraid of succeeding.

What if it works? What if it doesn’t?

And often they just stay STUCK…  sometimes just sitting in STUCK for a while until something changes.

The fact is that those entrepreneurs who face fear square in the face and OVERCOME this fear are the ones who find success and even more than success they learn how to face fear in all aspects of their lives which is HUGE.

Those who remain paralyzed by this fear leave their success to chance—and chance has never been a great leveraging tool and as you and I know, the big FEAR emotion will be coming back over and over again.

Are you frustrated because your business is stagnant and not growing? Are you afraid to take a risk for fear that you’re making a mistake?

Using FEAR as a fuel rather than something that continually stops you in your tracks is what an entrepreneur wants to achieve.

FOCUSING on the rewards and gains are worth the risk. Use FEAR to change directions and course correct.

It’s natural to want to avoid failure—that’s our subconscious protecting us from pain.

But did you know that most successful ventures only came to be after multiple failures?

In fact, some would claim that failure is a required component for success!

After all, it took Dyson 5,126 attempts to create a bagless vacuum cleaner.

After missing more than 9,000 shots in his career and losing 300 games, Michael Jordan said, “I have failed over and over again, and that is why I succeed.”

Thomas Edison agreed when he stated that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times when inventing the light bulb: “I’ve gotten results! I now know several thousand things that won’t work!”

Jack Canfield said, “Everything you want is on the other side of fear.”

That’s a fantastic mindset—imagine that fear is the door you must walk through in order to be successful. If you knew that, would you still be scared to open the door?

If you’re frustrated with the results you’re getting, try thinking of failure differently.

Rather than accepting it as the death of a dream, view failure as a temporary setback—a detour that is actually redirecting you toward the path to success.

Without failure, you might have steered yourself in the wrong direction for too long. With it, you’ve been given the opportunity to make changes and forge ahead, knowing this time, you won’t repeat the same mistake again.

The KEY is just do it. Try it. Keep moving forward toward what it is that is driving you in the first place. Stay with what it is you are wanting a RESULT.

When you learn from your mistakes, you’re one step closer to accomplishing your goals—and that’s SUCCESS, not failure.

It’s also proof that your mindset will determine whether you throw your hands up in the air and quit, or use your newfound and priceless knowledge to make another attempt to step toward your dream. My Dad had two “sayings” that I continue to remember and appreciate “When You Get To The End of Your Rope Tie A Knot, and Hold On”  and “Keep On Keeping On”. I have tied that knot many times and I bet you have too!

Take the plunge and get started for success.

 

Ground Rules for YOUR Business (and Life?)

Some business strategies to boost your income…

Ground RULES for Your Business
Ground RULES for Your Business

Do you need some effective “Business Ground Rules” or “Business Strategies?”

You might want to start with some Guidelines…. so here are some basic ground rules. I use this list for my clients and I recommend that you take this list and adapt it to your business (or future business!) Some of these apply to LIFE as well.

Trust Your Intuition 

Yes.  Trust your intuition in your business!  You haven’t gotten to where you are in life without at least starting to develop your intuition.

The fact is that inside of you, you already KNOW.

(It is an inside job!)

Keep developing that small voice that says.”Wait this doesn’t feel right” or “This new client and I are going to do great working together.”  Or you may even be thinking, “I need to move out of this job.  I hate it .”

Here is what I know to be the truth,  you can learn to develop that voice by slowing down, listening and by giving yourself space to hear your own voice.

Take It Seriously, But LOVE What You DO

Business is serious and you need to look at it for what it is.

BUSINESS.

That means treating it like a business, not a hobby.

Do what you do best!  Hire out the aspects of your business that you hate doing because frankly, it is a waste of you precious time doing something you hate doing.

Business strategies involve making money.

BUT and it is a big BUT… Love what you do. Do what you love. Make it work for you. “Believe you can and you will.”

Over Deliver and Give Great Value

Always and Always. Give what you believe your clients want AND Continue reading “Ground Rules for YOUR Business (and Life?)”

Coach Says “Stop Looking at Your Circumstances and Change Your Awareness!”

COACHING INSIGHTS

Coaching may create a GOLD BALLERINA FOUNTAIN for you.
The world is the abode of desires and fears. You cannot find peace in it. For peace you must go beyond the world.”

On some level we really get this.

On another level we deny it, because although we KNOW it to be true, we don’t want to think that the outer world we are currently experiencing is not our “Real Life.”  

As a Business Coach, Life Coach and Success Coach the subject inevitably comes up around successes in life and the TRUTH of the matter is it is AN INSIDE JOB.

We easily get caught up in ‘Appearances’ and think that what we see around us (our circumstances) are what is true.

Circumstances are just that.

Circumstances.

They come every day.

Day-after-day.

I believe that we are here to CHANGE.  To grow and to transform our lives.

If I didn’t…I wouldn’t be coaching!

Some fifteen years ago as I was completing my own COACH TRAINING I hired a Coach.

There were numerous Coaches that had been recommended, however I found myself trusting my intuition.

I hired THE BEST Coach I could afford at the time and the Coach that I felt that could expedite my growth as a new Coach!

It was one of the best investments in “Me” that I could have made.

In that process, I learned a lot.

So much in my life at that time was tied to “appearances.”  (We all want to LOOK good to others, right?)

As we see more and more of that in our world today, when I found this article about “Transcending Appearances” I wanted to share it with you!

Below are some “TIPS” from Dr. Wayne Dyer on Transcending Appearances.

#1  Let Go of Attachments

In silence, start to release your attachment to the importance of outer impressions. You might visualize yourself building a huge bonfire and imagine tossing things into the fire. Throw in your jewelry, clothes, automobiles, trophies, everything, even your job title. With each item that goes into this imaginary fire, feel yourself being freer and freer.

#2  Remove Labels Attached To Your life.

Make an attempt to describe yourself without using any labels. Write a few paragraphs in which you do not mention your age, sex, position, title, accomplishments, possessions, experiences, heritage or geographical data. Simply write a statement about who you are, independent of all appearances.

#3  Look For The Loving Presence In Others.

Take a day to attempt to see the fullness of God in everyone you encounter. Rather than seeing only another physical being, tell yourself that the Christ in me is meeting the Christ in you. Or spend a day silently reciting the word “love” whenever you encounter another human being. This has such a powerful effect that you may choose to use it as a silent background mantra throughout your day.

#4  Remember That You Build Muscles By Picking Up Heavier Objects.

This applies to your spiritual weight lifting, too. You will build yourself up spiritually by attempting tougher and tougher assignments. One of the toughest assignments is to disregard the ego message to evaluate yourself with the criteria of appearance and possessions. But know each time you are able to be less judgmental toward others or yourself, you are becoming stronger by having taken on the heavier spiritual weights.

#5 Cultivate YOUR calling.

Make an attempt to shift your career objective from self-absorption to a CALLING. That’s right, a CALLING. Use your talents and gifts to SERVE.   Your life work will take on a dramatic shift toward abundance, and you will feel on purpose and more of your true SELF.

(In order to make the changes you want to make quickly and with RESULTS consider HIRING A COACH.)

ARE YOU TRADING TIME FOR MONEY? It’s Your Mindset!

Invest in yourself, not someone else.

invest in yourself

Are you a person that is trading your time for money?  Invest in yourself instead.

I remember graduating from college. So excited about starting a career, all I thought about was trading my time for money. Back then, I had a lot of time. But not a lot of money.

Trading time for money.

What a great concept! Getting a salary every month sounded like the most wonderful thing in the world.

YEA … a paycheck! I would sit and think about how I could spend that money. You know. The “American Dream” (now known by some as the “American Nightmare”).

But I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I didn’t know that trading time for money was a limited concept. Meaning, I would not be in control of how much money I could make! I didn’t realize I could invest in MYSELF!

Fast forward several years. Continue reading “ARE YOU TRADING TIME FOR MONEY? It’s Your Mindset!”

The All Important BRAIN DUMP!

The all important brain dumpYou may have heard the term “Brain Dump” (or not) but, brain dump sounds like something interesting at least.

For me, it goes back about eight or nine years ago when I attended my first and perhaps my last, Internet Marketing “Sale Fest.”

I had just been introduced to the Wild World of Internet Marketing and I had gotten an invitation to an event in Atlanta. As a Life Coach/Breakthrough Coach I thought it would be an interesting learning opportunity~

And, I was offered a $1,000 FREE ticket!

Coaches…”Who is Checking YOU Out and WHY?

Coaches are being searched out by potential clients.

coaches are looking to you to help find clarity in your business.

Did you know people are”Checking You Out” On-Line?

Yes they are.

They are searching on Google, Facebook, Twitter or various other Social Networks.

Why?

They want to know more about YOU.  

Who you are.

What your business is?

Coaches, do they want to do business with you?

They may have seen or connected with you on Social Media and want to know more about you.

I had a friend of mine call me yesterday who is a real estate agent and she had gotten a contract on a property she represents and she said she had immediately pulled up Google to check out the buyer and with one click, she found information on the Buyer that gave her more of a sense of who she was dealing with.

You may have someone want to “Friend” you on Facebook and more than likely you may do the same…check them out.

Here’s the deal.

Your WEBSITE is your on-line “real estate.”

The same goes for your Facebook Business Page.

(More than likely you are sending your followers back to your website to learn more about you!)

The truth is that people want to get a real sense of who you are, what you are all about, what the real YOU cares about, your values and of course, your big Why!

The thing is ….people don’t want your formal resume or bio, they just want to connect with a real person, YOU.

And they want to get a sense of what you do and IF you can help them.

Here are some tips you may want to consider.

5 Ways To Creating YOUR On-line Profile.
