Balance: Is It Possible For Working Moms Or Just Ballerinas?

It has long been argued that balance is indeed attainable and something for which to strive. What do you think? I believe that it is all in the perspective you take, the values that you hold dear to your heart, and the choices that move you toward what makes you feel content and fulfilled. Life balance is as individual as you are. Ultimately it is the balance between how much time you spend in each category of your life that feels "right" for you. That ideal balance means different things to different people.

Preparing to Start a Direct Sales Business Part 4

PARTNERING There are 3 groups of people with whom you’ll partner in your new endeavor: your support system, your new company, and your sponsor. Each of these 3 groups will play a key role in a successful business launch and help you develop a productive, lucrative path to follow along your journey. THE SUPPORT SYSTEM While this may seem a little touchy-feely to some of you, developing a strong support system is part of building a strong, vital business. We all need cheerleaders, encouragers, and cattle prodders along the way.

THE HOUR OF WORLD TRANSFORMATION HAS ARRIVED

If seeds are sown at an apt hour there is a high possibility of getting a very good harvest. Seeds of corn, wheat etc sown at the start of monsoon season get the opportunity of growing in thousands of more such grain. If we miss this optimal time and sow the same seeds in other seasons, the results will be mediocre. Women’s uplifting the world over too is such a harvest.

Questions to Live By

Effective communication has been one of humanity’s biggest problems. As intelligent beings we have failed in establishing empowered and honest verbal and physical exchanges that could lead to a better understanding among diverse individuals. The problem though begins with our own self. How could we be able to communicate in compelling ways with others if we don’t do it first with the person we are supposed to know best? Know thyself!

***Healing Through Feeling

Energy healing sessions can help to heal emotional wounds. After a session, a person maysometimes feel renewed and at peace, and at other times feel unsettled and uneasy. Both outcomes are perfectly fine:The release of emotions—whatever they are—is a natural and intrinsic part of the energy healing process. Emotions should never be qualified as good or bad. However, especially in our Western culture, we are taught from an early age that emotions are “bad” and we learn to sup

How to Attract & Get More Clients Now

One of the biggest challenges I see with women entrepreneurs is how to find people willing to pay for your services, and more specifically how to find people willing to pay more – higher end clients – those who see the value in what you offer and who don’t end their conversations with you saying “I’m interested but I can’t afford it” or “I need to think about it!”

Resiliency

“When you can’t see straight ahead, it’s because you’re about to turn a corner.” – Myrtle ReedrnResiliency is the ability to bounce back from adversity. Dictionary.com defines it as springing back; rebounding; returning to the original form or position after being bent, compressed, or stretched; recovering readily from illness, depression, adversity, or the like; buoyant. rnI imagine resiliency to be like a rubber band. It can stretch and stretch and when you let

***Self-Worth - The Best Gift You Can Give to Your Child

Our greatest lessons in life often come from our children. I was reminded this morning of some of the things I have learned from my own children—and that it sometimes seems as if they “chose” me for the lessons I needed to learn. At the birth of my daughter some 21 years ago, I was naturally overwhelmed with feelings of happiness, joy, gratitude, and profound love—and at the same time also very anxious if I would be up to the task and responsibility of rearing this tiny prec

The Importance of Space, Trust & Fun

‘TRUST and HAVE FUN’ has long been a motto of mine yet it's sometimes necessary to remind myself of this! To remind myself that if I’m not feeling good or having fun and trusting in myself to do the right things, I’m sabotaging myself – worrying about all the things that aren’t getting done instead of focusing on the doing!

The Power of Being In the Moment

I like to think of each one of us like a branch on an enormous tree. We are a part of something bigger than each of us, yet we are a part of creator/spirit/universe. Because we are a tribe of one, and individually, a part of the whole, our ability to create our life is astounding. (In other words, if we are a part of everything, we are also spirit…and therefore a creator ourselves!) The problem is, we’re so often not paying attention to what we are creating. That means that we often create by default.

VARIOUS MOVEMENTS AND AGITATIONS SEEN FOR WOMEN’S AWAKENING

It's All About That Next Choice

Sometimes you know something needs to change, but maybe it’s something big and you’re not even sure where to start, let alone every step you will need to take. Maybe it seems too big and like if you aren’t able to do it “all” then it’s not worth doing anything. Maybe it seems impossible and too overwhelming. Maybe some days you are able to focus on how far you’ve come, but then there will be other days, and I believe almost all of us have those days, where your mind gets bus

Overcoming Challenges Despite the Evidence

A year ago this December, my then almost 14-year-old daughter boarded a plane and moved 12,000 miles away. As we said our good-byes at the airport, a feeling of excitement for this new adventure coupled with a deep void in my heart set the tone for what was to come in the New Year. With her gone and living with her dad, I knew I was going to be left with a bit more freedom to explore what life could be like with one less kid to tend to. I was now left with two other younger d

Finding Peace Among The Broken Pieces

When you are broken into a million pieces, which piece do you hold onto? We all know it hurts to have your heart broken. Maybe a close friend betrayed your trust or let you down when you needed them most. Or maybe you have that awful feeling in your gut that the person you love just doesn't love you back. When our hearts are broken, we limp along, wondering how we ended up here and if we'll ever make it to the other side of the pain. And perhaps worst of all, we feel an emptiness that the broken pieces can’t seem to fill. What are the broken pieces?

WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT?

“Life is the sum of your choices.” – Albert Camus I spent the highest amount of my years very disempowered and lost, not knowing what I truly wanted in life. During the time I was working for a multinational company, I often used to ask my managers what to do next in my career and what future positions to apply for. At the time, I used to consider them responsible for giving me opportunities to shine and succeed in my professional life. I was stuck with the behavior to always ask for other people’s approval, using them as an instrument for self-validation, while giving my power away.

Ditch The New Year Resolutions

Forget setting New Year Resolutions – a one off activity at the start of each year that often feels forced and hurried, and leaves you feeling guilty and inadequate when they’re inevitably broken or discarded a short while later. Why not resolve (make a firm decision) at another time of year, or better still at various points throughout the year! How radical is that? Even I’m fed up with the hype of resolutions, intentions, and goal setting for this year, and I’m in an industry that usually promotes them!

***Five Ways To Avoid Burn Out Through Better Balance

We hear the term balance a lot these days, but what does it really mean? Giving time and attention, in fairly equal measure, to our personal and professional lives is one way to look at balance. Business demands usually top everything else, especially for entrepreneurs who are trying to establish and expand their product or service. It can feel like you’re spinning with everything you need to get done in a day, and then exhausted, you go home to your family or partner and have little energy left to be fully present and engaged with your loved ones.

Perfectionism is NOT Perfect

Perfectionism is so very prevalent for working moms.

Sometimes we take pride in the fact that we are perfectionists and even tout it as one of our biggest strengths during job interviews.

The Secret to Lasting Change

First Steps to Conquering Fear and Moving Forward

Phase I: Facing Judgment and Creating Awareness You've heard the phrase, "be here now." While it has become quite over-used and sadly, cliche'd, it does have enormous value. Be here now is more than just being present - which I've talked about before. Being present in this moment creates the future you desire - as opposed to obsessing about the past or worrying about the future.

The Way to Success is to Step Into It Not Step Up to It

Success, to many modern women (and men), is something to aspire to – to attain by stepping up, changing up a gear, or up-levelling. It’s something to strive for, something to chase. But do we really think about what success means to us? Well let’s do that now…… • What is a successful life to you? Your successful life? • What is a successful business or career?

Commitment Doesn't Have to Be Painful

The truck was packed to the brim. The other two trucks accompanying us were also full. We were on our way to a remote lake near Lake Tahoe in Califo ia. We'd been planning this trip for a month but my mate had been talking about it for over a year. Loon Lake was the destination and he wanted to paddle our kayaks across the lake, then camp. That would mean only bringing minimal stuff and I like bringing a lot of stuff to keep me comfortable.

FACE Your Fears

I recently did an online survey to ask women what their biggest block to moving forward in their lives was.

Since overcoming fear is pivotal to my programs, I want to talk about how to put a F.A.C.E to the name of fear.

What ever happened to being authentic?

Are you still trying to connect to your authentic self? Let's face it, we're in a world that is constantly telling us ideas of who we should be, how we should be, and what we should have.
