Don’t Wait Until You Have the Perfect Plan, Take Immediate Action Now.

Have you ever felt so strongly about something that you were willing to do anything in order to reach your goal? Even though there were barriers, you knew this was right for you and nothing was going to stop you. Obstacles you previously avoided were now challenges you were ready to take on and overcome. You had a “do anything” attitude. Once you develop a burning desire to reach a goal and you feel a strong innate sense about this new direction, your entire mindset shifts. The excuses and the resistance all of a sudden melt away.

How Limiting Beliefs Affect Your Success

The principle of the Law of Attraction states that what you focus on, you will attract. Therefore if you are focusing on something negative, you will attract more negativity into your life. If you are focusing on positive, then you will bring more positive into your life. When you have tried to focus on something positive, do you feel that it worked for you? Did you end up achieving your goals? Everything you do is either about expansion, and allowing, or about constriction, and restricting. Consider your desire to grow your business. Is it expansive or constrictive?

Athletes Creating a New Response to Pain

“Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.”General George Patton Let’s face it, endurance events are painful. When it catches athletes off guard, their performance falters. The solution is to get beyond the pain, and to maintain focus in the present with the goal in mind. On race day Sam knew he had done everything possible to prepare for the century cycling event, a 100-mile bike race. It was a confidence booster. He relished the rush of adrenaline coursing through his body in anticipation of the start.

Does Fear Prevent You from Taking the Steps to Grow Your Business

Balance. That is a powerful word. It is an empowering way to live. For many this is easier said than done. We all have an inner voice we hear as we go through the day. What tone of voice does your inner voice have, supportive or critical? Which part of you is louder, your ego or your intuition? Are you able to tell the difference? Are you more comfortable being in your head and thinking things through or do you tend to go with your gut and instinct? Your ego is self protective and typically fearful. The typical response is fight, flight or freeze.

At the end of the day, what have you done for you? Change can happen. Having a desire to do things differently is the first part of the process.

5 Important Steps to Develop a Mindset for Success and Become a Client Attraction Magnet

Do you feel like a success? Do you look like a success to others, but on the inside feel like a failure? No matter how hard you try, you never do it well enough. You might be told over and over again about what great work you are doing, but you minimize it and only focus on the flaws. Even the outstanding achievements are not worth celebrating. You have a choice. You can continue to move forward in your career maintaining this perspective and never feeling fully satisfied. That is one option. Or you can make a choice to move past the hidden obstacles to your success.

According to the Law of Attraction, you have the ability to manifest your dreams. What you focus on you get more of. If that is true, what are your dreams? Consider your professional goals and what you want for yourself. How big do you dare to go? As children, we dream BIG. Remember how the world held so many possibilities for you? You were able to be whoever you wanted to be. As you got older, there were more influences in your life. Some of them were very limiting and narrowed your scope of possibilities. Good or bad, someone else’s beliefs and values were imposed upon you.

Transparency as a Marketing Tool

Transparency. It has become the norm with social networking and online marketing. We each have our own barometer between too much information and not enough revealed. Wikipedia states: “transparency in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through.” Weaving transparency is important for an effective marketing message and branding. How much though is too much?

Are You a Spectator or a Team Player in Your Business?

I first began rowing seasonally, only during the fair weather months. I couldn’t understand why anyone would want to row in the winter. After a couple of years, watching other people row all year long, I made the decision to become a recreational rower. Now I had the opportunity to row any time I wanted. Surprisingly it wasn’t “that cold” during the winter months. In fact, the winters were easier to endure because of my new interest. All this time I was aware of the racing team, but was unable to imagine myself in that group.

Do You Have the Tools to Win?

All athletes experience fear at some point. It is the primary reason for failure. Defeat and walking away from your dreams stem from avoidance. It is not whether you will face fear; it is the way you respond once fear arises. First and foremost, all athletes experience doubt along the way. Eventually you will reach a level of competition which will stretch you beyond what you believe is possible. Is this when your inner voice of doubt kicks in? "I can't do it." "I am afraid to try."

9 Easy Steps to Breaking the Blocks to Marketing Your Business

“Do what you fear and fear disappears." David Schwartz When I first started my practice my coach told me I was going to learn to love marketing. I just chuckled. She had no idea what I thought about marketing and going to networking events while working in my counseling agency. I had avoided them for the past 12 years of my business. My excuse was that Steve, my husband, was more charismatic and enjoyed socializing. He was the outgoing personality and I enjoyed staying in the office working directly with our clients.

Finding the Right Fit with a Mastermind Group to Propel You to Success

One thing which really increases the chance of long term success is having a support system. Typically when you think about your support system you will think about the people closest to you and whether they “are there for you” or not. So often I see clients say they want to grow their practice, but don’t have a support system. The people who are closest to them are the very ones encouraging them not to change. It was okay when your business was seen as a “hobby” and did not interfere with other parts of your life.

How Your Actions Help You to Achieve Success

How often have you heard the phrase “walking your talk?” When that does not happen there is a disconnect. What you are saying and what you are doing are two different things. When you have a discrepancy between your words and your actions, your actions will be the truth. People will pay attention to what you are doing and disregard what you say. We all know people like that. When they talk, they appear very sincere. I believe they actually are sincere at that moment when they are talking.

Creating a Positive Focus to Reach Goals in Your Business

You are likely to get everything done, but will feel frantic as you rush. The minor day-to-day details can get in the way of the BIG picture. Spending time putting out fires distracts you from your larger, long term goal. This way of doing business is time consuming and tiring.
