So many creative entrepreneurs that I coach share with me that either you don’t know what you want (or what you say that you want) in your business or you are very vague about what it is that you do want. I often hear “I want more money” or even “I just want to be able to pay my bills” but most importantly I hear that you want an end to all your money struggles. I know this is exactly what my experience was when I first began my self-employed journey. Actually I just wanted out of the money hell that I was experiencing at that time. I was tired of worrying about money.r

They have visions of getting distracted on Facebook, running errands all day or spending time cooking, cleaning or gardening instead of working. And some of my clients who are stay-at-home moms often have a difficult time adjusting to the home business world because they already have a full plate. They can’t figure out how to squeeze in time for work. For me, the daily life of wor

You have a big dream in your heart to get your message out to many people, and are terrified of the exposure, so you keep yourself a well-hidden secret, all the while knowing you could do more. This is a far too common situation for sensitive and spiritually-minded people, for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that the fear of being exposed and even burned (literally and figuratively) lives in our DNA as powerful women!

Overwhelm is one of the toughest things my clients face. No surprise, of course. Many entrepreneurs tend to have one thing in common: They’re creative types with lots of great ideas and a deep desire to be of service in the world. (If you’re reading this, you’re probably that kind of person, too.) Creative types are often challenged by the practical day-to-day stuff of life. To-do’s, organization, finances, getting things done. NONE of this comes easy! Overwhelm becomes a

One day my father, as a young man, came home from work to find the apartment cleaned out of furniture and swept clean. His wive (not my mother) was gone. Needless to say, reconciliation wasn't an option. I also know of a woman who was so alienated from her husband that, from time to time, he'd ...

Ok, so we all need a successful business and we all try to get that bit of magic that puts us ahead. But, are there things that you can point out that will pin down success definitively? Many people claim to have the answers and some even claim uniqueness in their abilities. For example, they will assume that all you need is a well-organized “sales funnel” and all will be well. Yet, some businesses successful at sales do not have good receivables management. Or, some overreach to sell and overstretch the firm’s resources leading to debilitating cash flow situations.

According to the US Department of Commerce women owned businesses grow at 2 times the rate of businesses owned by men, and the Wall Street journal reports that by 2030 women will own two thirds of the nation’s wealth. Those numbers are pretty impressive. Yet, many women entrepreneurs struggle with self-doubt and it can stop the most brilliant women from sharing their talents and gifts with the world. A lot of entrepreneurs quit before their company has any chance of success and others limit their business growth, because they lack confidence. Can you relate?

Two years ago I was coaching a client who was significantly in debt, had a service-based business that took him 80 hours a week to run, and was so stressed out trying to grow his business that he had stomach ulcers and slept about 4 hours a night. Of course I started running the numbers – how much does he make and what would have to happen to shift it. My jaw hit the floor when I figured he was making about $7.00 an hour. To grow the business he would have to dramatically shift his products, hire some help and change his money habits.

The other day my friendly Trader Joes check out guy said, “Are you doing anything cool for the holidays?” I think I shocked him with my answer of “Why yes, we just dropped some toys off at the Holiday Drive and I’m enjoying finding unique ways to give this year.” Stunned, he responded, “I leave all that giving stuff to others. I think others can do more than I can.” As I smiled and turned away I thought, “I wonder how many other people miss out on the amazing inte al buzz I feel by doing what little I can.”

When you constantly give your energy away to outside circumstances, you're left drained, empty and looking for ways to fill up. You search endlessly for the right "answer" to building your business, making more money. You take course after course, buy product after product and then, if you're honest with yourself, understand that what you're waiting for is someone to do it all for you ... The power, YOUR power, to shifting all of this resides in your third energy point: this is your core center of self, and it's truly where your power lies.

We all make decisions every day but unfortunately from a very early age we have it instilled in us that we must make the 'right' decisions throughout our lives or face the consequences. These strategies usually start developing from the age of 5 years old onwards, mostly acquired unconsciously from our parents or guardians before being reinforced in the educational establishments of the world. The problem with this way of thinking is that it can lead to 'analysis paralysis' whereby you put off making important decisions until you have enough information to judge the consequences.

<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/You-Could-Be-Changing-Lives-Right-Now-7.png" width="500"/> I talk a lot about the narrow path and to me, it is that less commonly taken road… The path taken only by mavericks, by deliberate millionaires, by history makers… The path that leads to a purpose-driven life and business… One that leads to increased impact and income (if you let it)… The road taken by people like you and I. It can be tough to stay on it whereas the broad path is easy… Everyone takes it.
