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.

My confession!

You know I’ve got to admit…I’m tired of hearing complaints that your business isn’t making enough money, or you aren’t attracting enough clients or you can’t get any visibility and attention.

I’m really tired of hearing that you are scared to market yourself.

I’m so, so sick of hearing about the economy and how frustrating it is!

I know…it’s not like me to lose patience! But it really doesn’t have to be this HARD for you!

Aren’t you tired of hearing your own complaints too? Smiley

The problem is that you are trying to figure it all out on your own and you are climbing a steep, steep mountain all by yourself.

Enough already! Really.

I’m also really tired of the whining that you can’t afford a really good seasoned coach!

So, I’m making this as EASY (and affordable) as possible.

Here is a list of areas you need to be clear and confident about in your business. If you’re not feeling really good about these areas in your business…then stop complaining (complaining just gives away your power!) and say YES to working with me and changing your business so you can finally have the success you really desire!

  • Owning your unique business vision – and embracing you as THE Business Goddess of your Business!
  • Claiming your unique strengths, gifts, passions, and personality to incorporate them into your brand so you stand out and are memorable!
  • Being super clear about your ideal people… the ones you are meant to work with!
  • Publishing your unique Thought Leadership focus…what is the “purpose-inspired work” you are meant to be doing in the world and how do you start a movement in your business… with grace, creativity, and excitement?!
  • Marketing that is easy, creative, and fun! Develop a creative marketing campaign to launch your next program or product – that YOU LOVE!
  • Offering packages and programs in your Empire Hourglass (my version of the marketing funnel) for a full business model that attracts clients at every level (from beginner to seasoned).
  • Trusting your authentic and *from the soul* enrollment process where you easily enroll clients into the right program and you don’t ever feel you are manipulating or pressuring them!
  • Having in place strategies and powerful systems, team, and a Foundational Business and Marketing Platform that will sustain your business growth.
  • Knowing how to consistently shift your energy and align with your greatest possibilities – in every moment!

If you are ready for more clarity, conviction, confidence, and a whole lot more creativity, and a whole lot less low vibration complaining…

Here is what I've put together for this small-but-powerful, four-session coaching package.

You have a SPECIAL CODE to make sure you get the best price right now. Make sure you use code JUMPSTART and save another $200 off the $1200 full-pay price, making your total investment of coaching only $1000.

You will feel the shift…and you’ll see the results.

Warmly,

Laura's Signature

P.S. But if things shift…you might have to stop complaining about not being successful in your business! Then what will you talk about?! SmileyTake a look at what some of my other clients have to say about working with me. Marketing yourself and your business really can be fun, creative, and done with soul-inspiration!

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,

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: Need a Spiritual Solution for Your Business Stagnation?

These stressful times are causing a lot of angst around businesses. Some businesses aren't making it; others are changing as old models don't work anymore.

You may be finding yourself questioning your business, maybe even questioning the work you KNOW you're meant to do. It's hard to look at your business and know where you need to shift and move forward.

I believe there is always a spiritual solution to every problem. It's not really about the next new marketing strategy that you need to learn. It's waaaaaaay bigger than that. It's figuring out where you need to grow spiritually, which will allow your whole business to shift.

I call this tapping into your Creative Power. I believe that we always have a choice of how we show up in the world. Chances are that if you are feeling stuck, stagnant or frustrated, then there is a shift for YOU to make that will allow your business to shift too.

That's what we're doing at the next Business Goddess Bigger Game workshop in November. I'm working with 8 women in a small intimate group... I would love the opportunity to work with you at this richer and deeper level!

This event could change your business – and your life.

Let me know if you have any questions – just hit reply and ask away! Don’t let your indecision keep you stuck and stagnant. You KNOW if you’re ready for this richer work!

Warmly,

Laura's Signature

P.S. I know that when I feel stuck, stagnant, frozen, or even bored, it's time for ME to grow. And when I grow, my business grows. If you want to grow in every way, come to Atlanta.

NEW! Business Goddess Bigger Game Event In November – Amazing 5-Pay Pricing!

Earlier this summer I held the first Business Goddess Bigger Game 2-Day Coaching Intensive in Atlanta at the Four Seasons hotel.

Wow! What an amazing event! It was really rich, deep work!

The seven women who were there stepped up their game – meaning that they claimed the next place they wanted to go in their businesses. It took courage and commitment: they had to let go, surrender to the bolder message and work that wanted to move through them and step into a new place… and it was often an uncomfortable place because it was new. And this was very exciting for every woman there!

Just from a two-day event.

When you are in your passion and strength, you know it. I know that coaching women to dare to step into their leadership, their brilliance and their courage is my sweet spot. I love this work, and I know it changes lives.

I knew immediately I would want to offer it again, so almost as soon as I got home from the workshop, I started putting plans in place…. I’m excited to announce the next Business Goddess Bigger Game event in Atlanta November 15 and 16!

I could go on and on about this life-changing work (and you can read more about it here), but the women who were there can say much more about the workshop and the transformation they received than I ever could.

See what Alicia Forest has to say about attending the Business Goddess Bigger Game event in June.

Hint: she says that she’s been missing a piece in her business, and THIS event solved that missing piece – and you’ll have to watch her video to get the really surprising part!

Why am I telling you about the workshop this early? Because I wanted to be able to offer you an AMAZING, affordable 5-pay plan so that you can easily say YES!

You have until next Friday, August 12 to sign up at the Early Bird Pricing and the 5-pay option. After that, the price goes up.

I’m only working with 8 women at this workshop so…

Secure your spot now, and get ready to play YOUR Bigger Game!

Warmly,

Laura's Signature

P.S. This is truly a magical event like no other workshop you’ve attended. The answer to your growth for your business is in growing yourself. It’s not about the “right” marketing strategy… it’s about you clearing the path to you being more visible and more alive in your business. If you’re ready for this shift, I hope you’ll Register today!
