If you want to improve your life you have to make changes through inspired action.  With that in mind I’d like to share with you more about my new program, “Spirit-Empowered Business Mindset Process: The Solopreneurs’ Essential Success Toolkit.” This 7-step program presents a series of practical tools for energy management and planning, and how to integrate these tools into your daily business life.

In part one we talked about the first two tools in your toolkit that includes jump-starting your success with an Energy Assessment to clarify your goals and a money mindset activation that helps you rewrite your money story to one of abundance and activate an entirely new relationship with money in your brain neural pathways.

How would you like to reduce stress and anxiety around your business? How would you like to learn practical business skills that will help you make your business more profitable?

By creating new neural pathways in the brain to help you transform and improve your mindset around money, your business, and your lifestyle, you can accomplish both.

Here’s some information about the second two modules.

Live Event

Last week I discovered the enormous value of attending a live event.  I went to a live workshop in New York City that was part of a coaching program I am taking.  Just being in a room of so many like-minded individuals was phenomenal.  And added to that was the amazing energy of our coach, who radiated such enthusiasm, joy, and love to everyone in the room.

Surround yourself with success
When you are striving to attain a thriving business, one of the most important parts of your potential success is the people you surround yourself with.  It’s almost impossible to be successful if you are hanging out with people who don’t support your aspirations.  Your friends and family can be subtle obstacles to your success if they don’t believe in your ability to manifest your dreams.  As much as possible you need to surround yourself with supportive people.

That’s exactly why going to a live event is so important as you grow your business.  You are interacting with people who, like yourself, have overcome obstacles just to get to the event.  These are the kind of people who have what it takes to be successful and it’s a great comfort as well as an inspiration to be in their company.

When a potential client arranges to find out more about my coaching programs and then says they can’t afford it, I know they need me.  The fact is they can’t afford not to hire me.  Why?  Because as long as you have to say “I can’t afford it” you’re putting off changing that situation.  And you’re only going to change that situation by deciding to do something about it.

How long can you afford to wait to get some help and get out of that frustrating position of not having the money to do the things you really want to do?  Life is not meant to be sacrificed, but to be LIVED.

There was a time when I thought that the way to get into a better financial situation was to sacrifice, be frugal, and not spend any money until I made the money.  And there is something to be said for curbing spending habits and operating on a cash-only basis.  But when it comes to your business, you can’t do it alone and you can’t do it without investing some money into your business; whether that be a website, classes to learn new skills, or some life and/or business coaching.

Once I discovered how much easier it was to build a business with someone helping me, I decided to always be investing some of my profits back into the business, because it made a big difference. Having that extra support, especially when you’re just starting out, shortens the learning curve.

When you’re stuck in the ”I can’t afford it” mode, nothing will change unless you do something about it.  But you don’t know what to do and that’s why you’re stuck.  Getting some fresh ideas, support, and guidance is the best way to jumpstart the engine of your business, and kick it out of the idle gear.  It’s just like trying to turn over a car engine—you need to give it some “juice” first.

There’s also a mindset behind this financial condition of saying no to those who want to help you because you think you can’t afford it.  All of the experts agree that an entrepreneur cannot become successful by him or herself.  Almost everyone who has built up a million-dollar business will admit that they hired people to help them get where they wanted to go and many of them will tell you that they hired their first coach BEFORE they could really afford it!

What does that tell you about their mindset?  It tells you that they believed in themselves and they trusted the Universe to work things out so they could have what they so deeply desired.  That’s coming from an abundant mindset.  Not being able to afford it is coming from a mindset of lack.

So the first step in overcoming your financial difficulties is to change your mindset from one of lack to one of abundance.  There are so many options for the person who makes the decision to take action.

When you decide to invest in yourself, you will find that opportunities come your way to support your decision and you find a way to make it happen.

So if you’re someone who has been waiting for the right timing, the right coach, the right price, understand that you are just procrastinating.  Make the decision to get some help and shorten that learning curve to success.

The true value of changing your life, making major transformations, and attaining business success is worth much more than the money you spend to achieve all of it.  And it starts with an abundance mindset.

Energy Management may sound like a flaky New Age philosophy but if list building were strictly about mechanics then everyone would have a rapidly growing list.  The truth is some online marketers build their lists rapidly and others can’t seem to get their list off the ground. Why is that?

It’s because people with big lists have managed their energy around growing a bigger business and the others have not.  If you are having trouble building your list you might want to check on your energetic vibration around growing your business.  Here’s one area to consider:

You may be secretly harboring the fear of success.  Continue reading “Use Energy Management to Grow Your List” »

Recently I was going over my notes from Napoleon Hill’s book “The Laws of Success” and I came across the words, “Speak with conviction.”  It occurred to me that this was an area for some reflection and improvement.  Speaking with conviction involves several different areas of concern.

Napoleon Hill

First of all in order to speak with conviction you need to have confidence in yourself and your business.  You must know that you are in the right business doing what you should be doing.  Confidence is essential to having conviction.

Secondly, you need to have a healthy level of self-esteem.  How do you regard yourself?  Do you believe in yourself? Do you believe you can accomplish your goals?  You need to believe in yourself in order to speak with conviction. As Napoleon Hill stated, “Your only limitation is the one which you set up in your own mind.”  Clear your mind of limiting thoughts and your speech will be much more powerful.

Here’s another great quote from “The Science of Getting Rich:”

“The Supreme Power is at your service.” – Wallace Wattles

It is interesting that Wattles says this in his book because it is almost exactly the same as a famous verse from an ancient vedic text.  I won’t repeat the Sanskrit but the translation is: Brahman (God) is the charioteer.  This is the same as “the Supreme power is at your service.”   Another translation of the vedic text is something like: “the man who is established in union with me, I work for him.”

This is a complete turnaround from what most of us were brought up in a religious background were taught.  Normally we think that we are working for God.  But this says that God is working for us.  How can that be?  Well, it goes back to Quantum physics.  Our attention creates things.  So if we can create anything we want by our focused attention, then the Universe is working for us.  It is manifesting that we are creating.  You could also say we are co-creators with the Universe.

Today is the first day of the first launch of my first book, “Money Mindset Makeover: 7 Steps to Make the Science of Getting Rich Work For You.”

I wrote this book because I was intrigued by the Law of Attraction and had been working on applying it to my life for many years. My main reference was Wallace Wattles’ book, “The Science of Getting Rich” and although it was written in 1910, the principles he discusses can be applied to modern day living.

But few books have actually been written about his principles and since I was starting to have some success with them, I decided to expand on them so others could use them too.

Recently, a colleague asked me how I faced my fears when I started my life coaches association and I really had to stop and think about it.  I asked her what kind of fears was she thinking of.  She replied, “fear of no one signing up (rejection), fear of making a mistake, fear of looking stupid, and fear of not appearing professional.

I had to admit that I had all of those thoughts but I knew what I wanted to do and I just forged ahead with it.  “Feel the fear and do it anyway” was my motto.

So let me ask you…what are you afraid of?  What fears are preventing you from moving forward with your dreams, or doing your great work?  If you can identify them, you are on your way to overcoming them.  Then think about the following:

Was Donald Trump afraid of looking stupid when he went bankrupt the first time?
Was Princess Diana afraid of making a mistake when she divorced Prince Charles?
Was Abe Lincoln afraid of looking amateurish as President when he refused to allow the southern states to secede from the union?
Was Gandhi afraid of looking stupid when he went on a hunger strike?
Was Mark Zuckerberg afraid no one would sign up when he started Facebook?

Here is another quote from “The Science of Getting Rich:”

“The mental attitude of gratitude draws the mind into closer touch with the source from which the blessings come.” – Wallace Wattles

This is the explanation of why it is so important to be grateful if you want to attract wealth.  That’s because the closer you are to the Source of riches, the easier and more quickly they will come to you.

I used to send gifts to my nieces and I never, ever received a thank-you note.  After a while I stopped sending gifts because I felt unappreciated.  And the relationship gradually faded away.

Your relationship to the Source is similar.  If you don’t act grateful for what you have,  and what has been given to you, your relationship with it fades and less comes to you.  It’s as if “IT” doesn’t feel appreciated!  You can call IT God or the Universe or whatever you want, but you have a relationship with IT and the more you cultivate that relationship, the closer you will become.

Most successful people admit that they are goal-setters.  They consistently set and achieve their goals.  You may wonder HOW they can set and achieve their goals on a consistent basis and I want to tell you about the “how.”

It’s not enough to just set a goal.  You must also become who you need to become in order to reach that goal.  What does that mean?

If you want to lose a lot of weight, you may need to be someone who eats a certain way.  If you are looking for a mate, you may need to be someone who is more loving and giving.  If you want to make new friends, you may need to be a person who is a good listener.

Let’s say you want to have a goal of breaking a six-figure income in the next 12 months.  So you need to look into who you need to be to be a six-figure earner.  What kind of person is that, and what would you need to change in order to be that person?
