She enjoys working with spiritually minded entrepreneurs who want to learn how to package their expertise and knowledge into money making products and service, while using their spirituality to enhance their business and to complete their lives.

Through Kathleen's success, she has found that as long as she makes living in a state of gratitude the cornerstone of everything she does, then things will work out better on the whole - no matter what the circumstances are around her. She has taken time to work on gratitude daily through small spiritual rituals, and suggests ways we can do this as well.  As we take the time to work on this aspect of our lives, we will find that we feel more complete, and we will be able to enjoy our work, our business, and our lives more completely!

Joyful Business Sightings - Pat Altvater

I created the Joyful Business Guide™ system to help creative entrepreneurs bring together the power of law of attraction with smart marketing strategies.  I love sharing stories from Guide owners about their experiences and thought you'd love to hear about it too!  

From:  Pat Altvater, Transformations Institute   

"Hi Laura - I LOVE my Joyful Business Guide. The Daily Giggle Goals cards are my favorite and they WORK! Just the other day I wrote a "Universe goal" that said people looking for speakers would contact me and sure enough the next day I got a call out of the blue from a woman that owns a speakers bureau who found me through the National Speakers Association. How's that for fast?

Loving it, Pat"

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and if there's one thing we can
take from this holiday that will transform our lives, it's the habit of

It's especially fascinating when you look at how you can bring gratitude
into your business - a key attraction energy for creative entrepreneurs!

part of called "The Power of Gratitude to Transform Your Life." You may

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...

ATTRACTION IN ACTION:  My 5 Most Powerful Attraction Marketing Secrets So You Can Create Your Dream of a Six Figure Business Quickly and Easily!
