Friday Joy Infusion: Let Your Soul Into Your Business

I love all types of assessments, typing, readings. You may have heard me talk about one of my favorite types of readings called soul languages. These describe the way I connect with my soul and how it shows up in the world.

My good friend and colleague, Jennifer Urezzio, founder and Spiritual Director of Know Soul's Language, helped me identify my three soul languages. I'm a Mentor (this is my purpose – and this one is pretty obvious, don’t you think?), Sextant (I know where you are and your path), and Connoisseur (I can see your gifts and how to package them) – and each of these shows up in my life and my business very strongly.

I love working with my languages and see how they support me in my daily life and how when I’m off track, they can get in my way! I find it’s useful to have skills for creating awareness about myself, and it makes it easier to realign when needed.

Jennifer has taken the art and science of Soul Languages to a whole new level. She’s put together the Business of Soul Telesummit – Bringing Leaders of Together to Help You Create the Grand Masterpiece.

During this telesummit, you'll hear from me and other leaders, healers, and visionaries who are using their purpose and Soul Languages to live and create businesses with purpose and prosperity.

Each interview will be filled with content-rich material, inspirational stories, and tangible examples on how they are using their Soul (via their Soul Languages) to create a life, a business, and a world that generates peace, happiness, and abundance for all.

I have to say that I’m really impressed with the depth that Jennifer goes – it’s very creative, and she makes something that could be hard to understand very practical!

When you sign up for this free telesummit, you’ll get access to the interviews for 30 days (almost unheard of!), a handy worksheet to keep track of your notes and ahas from each interview, access to videos from several of the speakers (including me!) with even more rich information, and some free goodies.

Here are some of the amazing speakers:

• Amethyst Wyldfyre
• Debbie LaChusa
• Jan Stringer and Alan Hickman
• Dr. Jennifer Howard
• Kimberly Englot
• Laura Hollick
• Lisa Robbin Young
• Marci Shimoff
• Soul Sister Circle from Soul Circle Radio
• Me!

We'll show you how we're letting our souls into our businesses and creating grand masterpieces. I hope you'll be inspired to let your soul guide you in your own grand masterpiece.

Bringing Leaders Together to Help You Create Your Grand Masterpiece

See how these women are awakening their Creative Power AND today is the early bird deadline for you!

Bring your Creative Power into your business – and see the results….

If this idea is compelling to you, but you're not sure exactly what it means or perhaps you're a bit skeptical of what it can REALLY do, here are what some of the Business Goddesses from my last Business Goddess Bigger Game 2-Day Coaching Intensive are up to in the REAL world:

• A reinvention life coach is embracing her authentic marketing style by letting her creative spirit out in her marketing (not just in her life!). She hit her $30,000, 3-month goal by putting herself out there creatively, expressively, and being open to the unique delivery methods of the Universe. Opportunities came her way that weren't even in the plan, but they just kept coming her way. Opportunity after opportunity.
• A practical meditation coach launched her meditation CD with beautiful newpackaging, and she has tweaked her website and is showing up on social media that absolutely showcases her practical expertise in a beautiful, spiritual, powerful way.
• A copywriter and marketing communications coach created a highly inspirational, creativity magazine, collaborating with many expert colleagues, as well as set aside time for her own deep writing.
• A high-level, successful business coach is reinvigorating her own business energy and her programs by bringing more of her expertise and sense of adventure into her business, programs, and marketing.
• A retail store owner stepped more fully into being a bold and personable business owner. She's letting herself be seen in her community in a more genuine and creative way, which is positively impacting her business and is a heck of a lot more fulfilling and fun for her!
• A children's photographer is creating a website and an information product to help amateur and professional photographers capture magic when photographing children. She is putting her passion for children into multiple streams of income - marrying the passion and the practical.

Each of these women is embracing her own Creative Power. They're doing amazing, cool things in the world. They're letting their creative, authentic, powerful selves into their businesses.... and it's showing up in real, tangible results.

Aren’t you ready to do this, too?

Embrace your own Creative Power fully. Early bird and 4-pay ends today.

I hope you’ll join this small, intimate, powerful group of women in Atlanta!

Warmly,

P.S. If you still aren't sure exactly what a workshop like this can do for you, give me a call at 678-969-9040. We can talk about your creative power and how embracing it fully will impact your business in ways that are beyond the business plan!

You, Your Business, and YOU

How deep are you willing to go?

In this day and age of weariness and wariness of slick marketing…being authentic, bold and letting out more of the real passionate you is the real answer to for how you create spirit rich success in your business (and your life)!

Authentic. Bold. More of YOU.

Do you really know what that means?

Notice I did NOT say…learn another marketing strategy.

More YOU.

Creative, smart, sassy, quiet, bold, calm, zen, not-so-zen, funny, sarcastic, soulful, beautiful, messy….YOU.

That’s the secret sauce, ladies.

I know…easy to say…but how to you let her come out and run your business?

Be Your Powerful Creative Self!

I just got back from my Business Goddess Six Figures and Beyond Mastermind retreat in St. Simons Island, GA, and all I can say is "Wow!"

OK, I have a bit more to say...

I designed this retreat to help my mastermind clients discover and embrace their Thought Leadership. We focused on stepping into their Big Self, their unique and vibrant vision, the movement they each are creating in their world – and then operate from that place.

These women wanted what you want – to step into your creativity.

If you are like these women you are sick and tired of hearing more marketing secrets. You’ve been doing that part and it’s not working any more so it MUST be more than just “doing more marketing”.

What I have learned is that the “secret sauce” to more authentic success in your business is directly related to YOU. It means being more alive, more vibrant, and daring to speak from your soul.

The result from the retreat? These five women were so freakin’ excited about their message and who they're working with that they absolutely radiate!

We actually had people buying us drinks at two different restaurants, singing with us, asking us who we were, the housekeeping fairies (that’s what they call themselves) wouldn’t leave us alone, the energy was so compelling! Everywhere we went people could just sense that we were powerful creative women up to something amazing!

They shine, and they're so attractive that they attracted opportunities everywhere they went and people just can’t wait to work with you when you are that alive and engaged!

And that's what you can have, too.

Do you want to tap into the powerful creative being you are?

You can't do it sitting in front of your computer screen playing on Facebook or Twitter or Google +. You can't do it trying to methodically go through your to-do list. You can't do it half-heartedly writing your next sales page.

You do it by stepping out of your day-to-dayness. By being willing to let go of the old stories holding you back and take courageous steps right now - today.

I’ve created a really easy way to get started…

Business Goddess Bigger Game Coaching Intensive
November 15 and 16

And until Friday, September 30, you can get if for the early bird price or a super affordable 4 pay option..

Be your most powerful creative YOU. Play your bigger game. Join me in Atlanta.

Warmly,

Happy birthday to me!!

What would make me happy today? To celebrate with YOU!

You can’t help but to think about the next year coming up when it’s your birthday. So, it's a day that I think about what I want this year to be about. What do I want the next year to be full of?

Here’s how I’d love for you to be a part of the celebration! I want to know what YOU want the next 365 days to be full of – for you.

• What is aching in you that you want to fill up?
• What do you want more of?
• What do you want to drench yourself in?
• What is your soul saying…it’s time. This is the year.

Please play along….just hit reply to this email and let me know privately or you can visit me on Facebook and post on my wall about what YOU want the next year to be full of. I’m actually spending my birthday on retreat on St. Simons Island with an amazing group of women in my Business Goddess mastermind group. So I’ll share more about my intentions for my year a little later in the day on Facebook…I hope you’ll join me there!

Happy EVERY day to all of us!

Friday Joy Infusion: Go Ahead and Dump the Junk, I Dare You!

Do you need to be perfect?

Do you want to have everyone like you?

Do you want to be in control and make 6 figures in the next 6 months or you will consider yourself a failed entrepreneur?

(No, no, I didn't answer "yes" to any of those questions. Nope. Not at all. Yeah, right.)

I know how damaging those voices and thoughts can be. As you grow and your business takes you into new adventures, the voices and thoughts get louder!

My colleague Kimberly Englot calls it "JUNK" – fear, lies, limiting beliefs, & comparisons.

She's just come out with her second volume 2 of her Dump the Junk series: Dump the Junk & Be Happy, Volume 2: Biz, Career, Money – with 12 inspirational and action-oriented chapters.

One of those chapters is written by me, and I shared my tools for dumping the mindset junk around business and money – 5 Habits that pull you into the Cycle of Doubt and what to do about it!

I always think that you can never have too many “energy shifting” tools on hand, so I highly recommend to check this out. One inspiring message could shift your energy and confidence, you make that important phone call or send that email, and opportunities open up!

We're here to show you how to dump that Junk and be happy where you are, while creating a life of happiness, health, and wealth!

Be the very first to receive your FREE copy of the eBook (but it won’t be available forever.)

Let's dump that JUNK!

En-JOY!

P.S. You only have a short amount of time to get your hands on Volume 2: Business, Career, Money for free, as this is a limited edition and not replacing the original Dump the Junk & Be Happy eBook.

Inspired By A Snack!

Working at home you always have the kitchen open to you. It’s so available – you know what I mean…you’re noodling a new idea…you wander into the kitchen and open the refrigerator, wondering if that client will call…you munch on a chip or two or ten..Can you relate?

So, needless to say…I’m always looking for healthy alternatives to have around.

Imagine my surprise when I found a healthy snack that also inspired me with their message!

These cool new treats are called Eat.Think.Smile – the one I have is a combination of cinnamon and cocoa(a natural antioxidant)…anyway this message isn’t so much about finding your snacking bliss (that’s what they call it on the package) but it’s about the power of joy.

This company gets it.

Here’s what they say on the back of the package under Smile…

Smile
“When amazing snacking pleasure is packed with good stuff, great things happen. Joyful messages are sent to your brain faster than you can crack a smile, and you get that great feeling inside that you've made smart choices for your body and your life.” (courtesy of www.EatThinkSmile.com )

This company gets the power of feeling good.

When you do something like take a walk, light a candle, talk with a friend, yoga, read…even reading the back of a snack package and it makes you smile…That makes you feel good!

It starts into motion all sorts of other uplifting and life-enhancing goodness. You smile….studies have shown that smiling makes your endorphins do flips, which helps you feel more energetic, lighter (that means less heavy and depressed feelings, folks)…that kind of expansive, possibility energy is where the divine inspiration comes in…all sorts of creative sparks happen, ideas are able to filter into your consciousness, and you even feel confident about taking action –hooray for that!

All from a joyful spark!

It sounds so simple.

Maybe even a bit Pollyanna-ish.

But it’s true. And it really works.

Try it….do something that makes your heart sing. Dare to follow your joy!

And see how that opens up your creative impulses and helps you take inspired actions!

En-JOY!

Q & A with Michael Stelzner – author of Launch – my newest fav book!

I have devoured the new book, Launch: How to Quickly Propel Your Business Beyond the Competition, written by the founder of SocialMediaExaminer.com, Michael Stelzner.

It’s not that the ideas he talks about are necessarily new to me – it’s that he totally believes in the “give and you will receive” concept.

I work with a lot of creative women entrepreneurs who are embracing their expert status (I call it their “Go-To-Goddess”) and Michael shares how really being willing to own your expertise by freely sharing your ideas, resources, and expertise will naturally attract more opportunities, collaborations, clients ... and yes, ultimately money to you.

He talks about his Elevation Principle – I just love it:

Great content + Other People – Marketing Messages = Growth

As a marketing coach – I think it’s brilliant! Especially the “minus the marketing messages”!

Read on for an interview with Michael about his new book:

Q & A with Michael Stelzner, author of Launch
and founder of SocialMediaExaminer.com

Why did you decide to write Launch?

I honestly want to show business people a different way to succeed without having to sell their souls in this crazy economy. You don't have to have a lot of money or buy any advertising. You don't have to bow at the altar of famous people or engage traditional media. You don't have to have a list. You don't even have to be a good writer. My content model is replicable and scalable. It works for an audience of ten to one thousand to millions.

How should readers use your book?

Follow the step-by-step roadmap I lay out in the book. All of my content strategy secrets are there.

What is the Elevation Principle and why is it useful?

At its core it's all about focusing on the needs of people with content. Here's the simple formula: Great content plus other people minus marketing messages equals growth.

It's useful for the person who wants to quickly catapult a business into the next galaxy from where they are. The number one reason it works is because it establishes you as a trusted resource—which is your biggest marketing obstacle. You'll attract an audience of loyal, raving fans who want to learn from you. Many of those will evangelize your business.

Caption: The elevation principle says that
great content combined with other people
and without marketing messages will help
your business rapidly grow.

How can one start using the Elevation Principle now?

Step one - determine who you want to reach and what they're interested in.

Step two - give them what they want for free.

Step three - grow.

What are some of the book's key takeaways?

Marketers are frustrated; all they have to do is stop selling. Give something away. Create primary and nuclear fuel. Don't expect anything in return—that's when things start happening. Launch is for anyone who wants to grasp how new media has forever changed the way marketing must function in a digital world.

What surprises you the most about the 'Elevation Principle'?

The consistent return on investment. I wasn't prepared for my business to take off at a thousand miles an hour; to get three buy offers in the first eighteen months; and to fend off so many advertisers wanting to spend money at my site.

What's the number one question you get asked the most?

Mike, how do you do all this without advertising? My answer: content surrounded by marketing messages scare people away. If you wouldn't want telemarketers camped out in your living room, why would you be okay with them squatting on your virtual property.

How would you describe yourself?

Giving.

What do you want people to do as a result of buying your book?

I want my readers to follow the model outlined in the book, transform their business, and let me know how it's working for them. I want to see businesses develop thriving communities around topics like gardening, yoga, mechanical engineering, cancer survival . . . you name it . . . just like Social Media Examiner did.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
