Does This Limiting Belief Resonate With You?

Over 450 heart-centered entrepreneurs signed up to learn about shifting their resistance to marketing and limiting beliefs about marketing - that tells me a lot!

Yesterday I led a teleclass with a delightful and talented colleague, Stacey Mayo, also known as the Dream Queen. We had a packed house on the call! We received emails afterward with joyful business owners sharing how "unjoyful" marketing can be for them and how excited they are to be shifting their limiting beliefs.

I know this happens for many of you as a heart-centered entrepreneur! Every time I stretch into a new level of growth in my business I have to make sure my own energy is aligned with my authentic marketing efforts or they'll fall flat and I'll get frustrated.

On the call we talked about the 5 Most Common Limiting Beliefs that will have you play Istock- frustrated womansmall in  your marketing.  They get a hold of you and you ...don't make the call, hesitate on standing out and being different, and stay in confusion - this limits your results - i.e. low visibility, few clients and not nearly enough income!

Would you like to know the Most Common Limiting Beliefs? See if they sound familiar...

  1. "I'm not good enough"
  2. "I'm afraid to focus my marketing on one ideal client because I might leave someone out"
  3. "It's not perfect yet" (meaning you won't launch your product, service, website, etc...because you're waiting on "perfect")
  4. "What will other people think?"
  5. "Marketing is too hard/confusing"
  6. Bonus! "I don't have the money to spend on marketing"

If any of these limiting beliefs resonate with you, or you are feeling frustrated because you're not getting the results from your marketing that you desire or are yearning to attract more and better paying clients, you will want to join us for our upcoming 3-part teleseminar series. This class starts next week so don't delay.

Are you looking for more income streams? Do you want to start a business but are afraid this isn't the right time?

For myself, I'm always interested in looking for more ways to take charge of my OWN life and my OWN business. That's why I was intrigued by Ali Brown's new free teleclass TODAY, Thursday, March 5, called "How to Create Your OWN Strong Economy This Year... With Online Information Marketing." It's tonight at 8pm eastern.

Here's the link to sign up:

Ali's Free Teleclass - Register Now  

I love Ali's philosophy and practical business advice.  I'll be on the call tonight - and if you own your own business and want to hear more about new ways of doing business - you should join us! 

Marc & Laura at Ali's I was at Ali's very first Online Success Blueprint workshop when there was only 30 people!  I was at Ali's Online Success Blueprint workshop last November with my husband and there were nearly 500!

You can catch me in her video on Facebook and hear my testimonial about following Ali's strategies has made a huge difference in my business.  (and if you've been a Joyful Business follower then you've seen the difference)

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!  

Pat

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"

Ready for a Creative Business Retreat with me?

I spent last week in Boston - "enjoying" the winter weather and visiting with two of my platinum clients - Boston_platinum_retreats_004 creative business owners .  It's tough for me as I only have "southern winter" clothes.  Not quite waterproof, slip-proof and protective enough...but it worked out.

Here is a photo of me in the snow at our retreat center.  I like to find beautiful and inspiring spaces.  This time the retreat was at a cute farmhouse.  (mental note: add into my vision story that all retreats are in WARM, beautiful and inspiring spaces)

I get asked alot about what goes on during these day long Creative Business Retreats.  What do you do all day? 

These Creative Business Retreat Days are part of a year long Magic & Miracles Platinum Program.  It's for business owners who are ready to go beyond their current level in a much bigger way. 

As part of the program you get a day devoted to your business.  It's tailor made to your needs and where you are in your business.  We usually include:

  • Getting clear about your vision and claiming it!Icf_ne_001
  • Getting super focused on your "opportunity niche",
  • Setting intentions for the year and specific goals for the next 90 days,
  • Brainstorming and designing packages for your services,
  • Identifying your free gift opportunities,
  • Creating an outline for information products,
  • Creating a plan for building your list and increasing your visibility & credibilty,
  • Picking my brain and expertise for resources, systems and support,
  • Getting clear about the steps for the next 90 days
  • Laughing, creating, designing, probably a little crying, and a whole lot of dreaming!Ginger_109

Ready to really make your business "holistically" joyful?  ie: financially, meaningful, enjoyable, and easier!

Curious about who is an ideal Platinum client - believe it or not - it's creative business owners like you...they have said "it's time" and made a commitment to themselves and quite frankly, to the universe, claiming that they are stepping into the CEO role!  It's very powerful! Here's photos of two Platinum clients - top above, Laurie Mandato, President of Imaging Joy.  She is works with speakers, coaches, authors who are stepping into the spotlight of public speaking and want feel fantastic in their appearance and style.  And, below right, is Ginger Burr, President of Total Image Consultants.  She is a veteran Image Consultant, and among her offerings has these amazingly fun Girlfriend Parties.  She is also known as one of the "Most Fascinating Vegans" by VegNews magazine for her work with dressing and living as a vegan. 

These are creative women putting their passion into the world and wanting to honor it by making it more successful, easier, and keeping the joy alive!

If this resonates with you and you'd like more information - Send me an email telling me a bit about yourself and request our Platinum Package.  We will send you more information and an application. 

I am imagining our WARM creative retreat right now! :)

En-Joy!
