Friday Joy Infusion: Free Gift From Me to Help You Allow & Celebrate the Miracles and Gratitude in Your Life & Biz

This time of year we are surrounded by reminders to remember to acknowledge the blessings in our lives. A reminder to feel profound gratitude for all the miracles – big and small – that show up in our lives and in our businesses.

This appreciation and acknowledgement shouldn't just be a one-time thing.

I have found that the more we allow in miracles and the more we celebrate and appreciate, even more good things happen to us.

I want to help you be in this energy throughout the whole year. I've been recording Miracles and Gratitude weekly audio messages for my private and group program clients for the past three years.

And now I feel called to let everyone in my community get these audio messages from me – for free.

Every Monday you'll receive spiritual marketing messages on topics such as using your creative power in your business, abundance, energy, personal creative branding, smart marketing strategies, and more.

Plus, you'll receive my Online Success Gratitude Journal to start off your week focused on what's working in your biz.

You don't have to do anything to get this free gift. I want you to have this with my compliments.

So watch each Monday for your Miracles and Gratitude audio and Journal in your email in box starting this Monday.

Thank you for being a miracle in my life.

En-JOY!

PS: As always, if you no longer wish to receive these emails, you can just hit unsubscribe at the bottom of your email. But I will share that my clients say this is one of their favorite things I do! They feel like they start the week off with a little “Laura Infusion”! I hope you en-JOY!

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,

Laura's Signature

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!

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

Dump the Junk and be Happy book cover

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.

Friday Joy Infusion: How My Art Journaling Hobby Increases My Business

One thing you may not know about me (or maybe you do, especially if you own my Joyful Business Guide) is that I love to do art journaling. There's something about the pictures, markers, glue, words…. that allows me to express my true self, let ideas flow, and opens the floodgate to creativity.

And that creativity, in turn, impacts my business. All the sudden, ideas and details for projects, articles and programs come tumbling out, and I almost can’t capture them all. (Thank goddess for mindmaps!)

So, you can imagine how excited I was when I came across this video. While it's an advertisement for their super-quick collage journal and products (which do look cool, I have to admit), you could easily do this with whatever you have around.

It's called Smash It, and you can watch the 2:35 minute video here.

Link to Smash Book by K & Company video

(And if you want to buy products, K&Company Smash Collection – their website is a little hard to navigate – evidently, there are a ton of subcompanies, so I tried to make it easy for you.)

So what could you do with an idea like Smash It or some other form of art journaling? How does it tie in with your business?

  • It's an easy way to create a vision book for your life and business
  • The quick and non-perfection attitude is the perfect kick start for creativity in your business!  Do something else creative (that maybe doesn't even have anything to do with your business) and get in the flow of ideas and creation – it’ll rub off in your business!
  • This easy, “no rules” way of doing Smash It journals frees up blocks and creates momentum. What could THAT do for your business?
  • Just let loose and have fun with it!  That joy factor makes EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT!  Then just breathe easy and allow in goodness!  It’ll have an amazing impact on your bottom line, really!

I know what I'll be doing this weekend, if I can – smashing art journaling!!

Where can you open up your creativity and let it “rub off” on your business?

Warmly,

Laura's Signature

Are You Ready To Own Your Creative Power? Super Special Early Bird Pricing Ends Tomorrow.

Working harder in your business isn’t the solution for more success in your business.

The answer is within.

The answer is a spiritual solution. A commitment to tapping into and owning your creative power in a bigger way than you’ve ever done before.

It’s not about working hard on tons of new marketing ideas. There’s a place for marketing strategies and ideas, but those are more successful when YOU show up fully – owning your graceful power.

As an experienced coach, Patrice wanted to grow her business, and she knew it wasn’t just about working harder. That was not an option for her after a year of healing a personal illness. Last June’s Business Goddess Bigger Game event gave her the perfect opportunity to own her creative power in her business – showing up bigger, fuller, and trusting her own Authentic Marketing Style.

Where in your business are you holding back? Where are you playing small? Where are you frustrated with marketing so much that you’d rather do nothing than sacrifice your soul? What IF you allow your soul to run your business?

THAT’s a Bigger Game.

Be one of the 8 women (5 spots left) to join me in Atlanta in November at my next Business Goddess Bigger Game and start owning your creative power for more authentic success in your business.

Find out more and register here.

Warmly,

Laura's Signature

P.S. By the way, I want to remind you that the Super Early Bird, Never-to-be-seen-again pricing ends tomorrow, Friday, August 12. You don’t want to miss out on the no-brainer, 5-pay pricing option! Register for the Business Goddess Bigger Game event today!

What Is Your Next Step? Is It Really Going To Make A Difference?

It’s so easy to be busy in our businesses. Doing, doing, doing. But is all the “doing” really making a difference?

Is your list growing? Are you deepening relationships with ideal clients? Are you really being a leader with your message and your impact?

Or… are you just BUSY?

You need an opportunity and the time to step back and see where YOUR growth opportunity is.

My next Business Goddess Bigger Game Coaching Intensive will help you be clear on what the next steps are that will really make a difference in your growth and success of your business. I can tell you that the growth you want in your business is depending on the courage you have to grow yourself.

At this event you’ll tap into your Creative Power, that power that exists within you already and needs permission to come forth. You’ll feel more empowered so that the next step you take will be one that is full of purpose-inspired action. It will change the direction of your business and open up the flow of abundant success instead of keeping yourself small and really busy.

Oana Hogrefe shared with us how transformative the Business Goddess Bigger Game event was for her. See what she has to say….

If you are tired of just being busy doing the small stuff…and are ready for a leap in your business….join me and 8 (actually, only 6 spots available!) other women for this special Business Goddess coaching event.

What are the next steps you are ready to take? Is one of them to join us in Atlanta in November?

This could be the start of a whole new powerful purpose-inspired expansion for you and your business!

Warmly,

Laura's Signature

P.S. Plan now to join me in Atlanta in November. It’s not hot (yay!), you’ll be in the beautiful, luxurious environment at the Four Seasons hotel. And if you register by Friday, August 12, you can attend for $550 or 5 payments of $140. This will be a life-changing event - so register for the Business Goddess Bigger Game event today and know that you are ready to grow!

Are you tired of temporary fixes in your business? What’s the real answer?

Do you find that much of what you do seems like a bandage, a temporary fix?

Need to make money? Quick, offer a product!

Need to get clients? Go through your contacts and make a few phone calls!

Need to amp up your marketing? Sign up for the next newest marketing strategy even though you haven’t really fully implemented the other ones you’ve studied!

The key to greater success in your business (especially in this new era of change) has more to do with YOU than a new strategy.

When YOU grow, your business grows. When YOU grow, you own your authentic leadership and your unique message… and you open up your creative power = changes people’s lives!

It’s more than a temporary marketing fix, but a life-changing and business-changing shift that will take your marketing strategies to a new level of success.

That’s what Toni Jo Artz found when she attended June’s Business Goddess Bigger Game event….

If you are ready to step up and own YOUR Bigger Game – and make lasting changes that will pay off for you and your business success – then make plans to come to my event in Atlanta in November.

And you can sign up right now with the lowest, most affordable five-payment plan. I’ve done my best to make this as easy on your pocketbook as possible.

Find out more about my Business Goddess Bigger Game event in November and sign up today – the super affordable 5-pay plan option is only available through Friday, August 12!

I only have room to work with not 8 but 6 women at this event so don’t wait because this will fill up pretty quick!

Looking forward to seeing you in Atlanta!

Warmly,

Laura's Signature

P.S. Do you know that WE are what usually gets in the way of our own success? Aren’t you sick of your story about what’s getting in the way? Step as big as you can and play YOUR Bigger Game.

Friday Joy Infusion: Take Time Off From Your Business

Summer_fun_a Things are changing so much and so fast all around us... in the world... in business... with economics.... technology...

It can be exhausting. And then you try to run your business at the same frantic pace...

And you wonder why you're tired and summer doesn't seem like so much fun?

I just came back from a two-week vacation, which I HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE. TWO WEEKS. I needed to totally unplug. Refresh. Rejuvenate. Relax.

(Look at the joy on my son's face - THAT is what we want back in our businesses.)

Yes, it was a little rocky coming back in (wow, how many emails can Outlook actually download at one time?), but I've found myself even more centered and grounded and ready for all this change!

You need time away from your business. It allows fresh insights and allows what's really important to come to the surface, to emerge.

And that's the key.... take time off for more success.

Don't just say you're going to take time off, really do it! TRUST that it will be the best thing FOR your business.

Drop me a note and let me know how it goes!

En-JOY!

PS: My sons and nephews were digging a jellyfish pit! They topped out at 20 jellies, I believe…. they were SO in the moment, SO present. Isn't it time to let your cares fade away and your fun to come out and play?!
