Energy's Up! and New Teleseminar info...

This morning I was on a call with one of my mastermind groups, and it was my turn to get some coaching.  I started talking about my upcoming teleseminar and the launch of my new year long program....this is the biggest program I've ever launched and as I was talking it was obvious that I was "ready".  My energy was clearly aligned toward the exciement of the programs, the possibilities for the amazing creative entreprenuers who are going to join me and the power of our work together.

All my masternind members had to do was to help me grow my "aligned energy" bigger...we tapped into the "why" I'm doing this program.  My whys are....

• I've been in the shoes of my potential clients...loving my work and yet yearning to make better money at it - consistenly!
• Being embarressed to admit that it IS ALSO about the money!  Somehow I thought I was "less than spiritual" wanting to have a sustainable and flourishing business that financially brought me joy!
• I know what it's like to chase marketing ideas all over the Internet, signing up for teleclasses with this person and that person and feeling overwhelmed.  I know the reflief when you finally decide to commit to one mentor who resonates with your heart AND your mind.
• I'm incredibly amped up on what is possible for these amazing women after a year of this program - just imagining the celebrations in 2009 of how this was truly their BEST year ever!

Whew!  My energy is threw the roof! (Hmmmmm...maybe that's why my Internet connection keeps going down!)

If you are ready for your best year ever, then please join us for a special teleseminar this Thursday where I reveal...

Are You On My Sticky Note?

In my home office, affectionately known as the Joyful Empire Creative 
Studio, I set up a special inspiring area in the studio.  It's in the
corner of my office/studio, which in the Feng Shui world, is known as
my Wealth & Prosperity corner. My Friend, Evana Maggiore
came to visit a month ago and pointed out
that my Wealth and Prosperity corner was empty.

Well, I don't know much about the bagua map but I do know
about my energy and I knew that I couldn't have the Wealth &
Prosperity area of my office empty!  I shared this philosophy with my
husband, Marc, and he was on board - we needed to create an inspiring
corner for even more prosperity, abundance and wealth to flow!

He found this cute little chest which he knew I'd love the flow of the
rounded front. For my birthday, my sons gave me a beautiful water
feature so now I have "flow" in the wealth & prosperity area - love
the feeling of that!

I added a special gorgeous topaz crystal, a crystal red heart, and an Ogg
light (which I bought from Cheryl Richardson's site) (friend and client,
Chris Baeza shared that shining a light on an area helps you to bring your
awareness to it..thank you).  My Ogg light changes colors in a gentle
pattern (more visual flow) and then I added a birthday gift from my
client, Laurie Mandato, from Imagining Joy.  She sent me a
gorgeous silver "Circle of Friends" candle holder.  It reminds me of my
abundance of loving family and friends.

I make it a ritual to visit my beautiful corner each morning and turn
on the water and the lights.  It fills me with a sense of peace,
purpose, beauty and reminds me that it's wonderful to be focused on
wealthy & prosperity helping my amazing clients attract more wealth &
prosperity into their business.

This week I added a new feature to my inspiring space.  On the wall I
placed a large piece of paper for my new Attraction Marketing and
Money Mindset Program (AMMMP).  The is a year long program for 24
amazing creative women entrepreneurs.  I put up 24 tulip shaped sticky
notes as a "spaceholder" for each of the incredible women who are
coming into this program.

Every morning I connect with the 24 women who are coming and feel
excited and inspired about what is possible for them in the coming
year.  I even started writing names on the tulips claiming individual
people I know who would flourish in this program.  I imagine what it
will be like for them. How excited they are in their business and what
possibilities await them.

This process helps involve my whole self in my big intention for this
program.  It's a very visually sensory experience and helps me to
connect with my purpose each morning. Plus, it  really  gets my energy
going for letting people know about the program!  (that's how we do
marketing here at the Center for Joyful Business!)

So, is your name on one of my sticky notes? :)

Make sure you are registered for next week's teleseminar and you'll
find out more about the program because that's when I'm going to open
the doors for registration.

Spreading the Love Around the Blog World!

I woke up at 4am this morning and just couldn't get back to sleep.  I decided it was best to just get up and join many of my "sisters" in this world who are also up at 4am or some other ungodly hour.  (I know they chalk it up to peri-menopause, too much caffeine(ok, caught me) or bad dinner choice - but really has anyone studied this phenomenon?)

I peeked at my favorite blogs to catch up on the latest updates and imagine my delight when I received this heartful post from my friend, Beverly Keaton-Smith at Embrace Your Gifts and Soar!
