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.
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 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?
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…
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,
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?! Take 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!
Today's Joy Infusion is brought to you by dolphins and bubbles. Yes, you read that right... dolphins and bubbles. :)
Right now...just imagine the flow and ease of dolphins swimming underwater...imagine them gently blowing bubbles under the water...so soothing. Imagine them then playing with their own bubbles! How delightful is that?
I just got back from my transformative (for my clients AND me) Business Goddess Six Figures and Beyond retreat by the ocean, so I'm feeling particularly drawn to the playful nature of the dolphins in this video. To me this video highlights how ease, joy and play shifts our energy.
While you watch, it's a quick (2:09 minutes - surely you have time for that?), notice how your body relaxes, your face softens as you smile and your energy shifts from "a doing focused" mode into the openness of possibilities and flow.

Invite in the Voice for What's Next in YOUR Business!!
I just got back a couple of days ago from my own personal creative retreat on St. Simons Island at an amazingly beautiful hotel. As soon as I walked in the door of the hotel room, my DNA shifted, ideas were buzzing, and new possibilities opened up! It’s amazing what ocean and a beautiful environment does for you and for getting out of your normal, habitual routine. I felt myself being the Business Goddess Millionairess!
Business Goddess Millionairess?
Yes - to me that metaphor is about being so filled with abundance and possibilities where I know - I can feel - I can do anything.
Now that I'm back home, I am full of confidence and a sense of purposeful expression. I have been in a place of asking for what’s next in my business – not just from an idea place, but from a soul-nourishing place. I really feel myself finally opening up and feeling excited about what’s possible. Getting out of your familiar environment and routine really helps, especially when it's beautiful.
Here’s where I stayed AND where my upcoming NEW retreat is also being held: www.OceanLodgessi.com. It’s truly amazing, beautiful and inspiring at every turn!
I would love for you to be here with me at the For the Love and Soul of Your Business retreat coming up in April. This retreat is for six women entrepreneurs only, and I already have one spot taken out of the six. I am so excited about the potential that these six amazing, heart-centered, passionate female entrepreneurs will create with me at the For the Love and Soul of Your Business retreat.
I’m envisioning and setting the intention that these six seasoned women opening to the voice of what’s next in their businesses.
Imagine getting clear about what’s next. Stepping into your soul’s purpose in a big way with grace, ease and life nourishing prosperity! You will be supported and inspired to create what’s next for you here with me, these kindred spirits, and this delicious location. I know I was - and still am, even back in my "normal," everyday environment.
To find out all the juicy details and to apply for one of the five spots left (one is actually already taken - and I'm just announcing it to the public today!), visit www.joyfulbusiness.com/deepretreat.
Breathing deeply... feeling expansive and grounded - and wishing that for you!
Practical Strategies for Shifting the “I’m Not Enough” Gremlin
It happens to all of us small business owners. Things are hopping along in our
businesses: we are growing our lists, increasing our visibility and attracting
new clients, and then suddenly… BAM! The gremlin inside you starts whispering
sweet nothings, accompanied by a dull ache in your stomach or a tightening of
your throat.
“You’re not really doing it right.” “What you’re doing isn’t
enough…it’s not good enough, big enough, powerful enough or thorough enough.”
“What are you thinking? Do you really know what you are doing?” and the “See
what she’s doing…you’re just not doing it right/fast enough/making enough
money”….
What starts out as a quiet question suddenly moves to a slow
simmer, and then if not kept in check, it’ll rise to a full boil! The voice
impacts our sleep, our creativity, our confidence, our ability to think
clearly, and our willingness to take action. It’s usually thoughts running
rampant through our minds, but it’s also accompanied by a variety of signals
from our bodies: headaches, the inability to stay awake at our computer in the
afternoon, upset stomachs, constriction in our throats, shallow breathing. And
if not paid attention to, then it’ll go into the form of a cold, a sinus
infection or some other physical symptom which finds a toe-hold in our bodies.
Everyone, business owner or not, has some versions of this
destructive self-talk. From working with 1000’s of creative, heart-centered
entrepreneurs, I know that we are often even more susceptible to this. We’re
sensitive to the energy around us, we’re thoughtful and respectful of others,
and we are often feelers. For passion-based business owners who want to
transform lives, it’s important to acknowledge this mindset dance.
It’s even more critical to your success and business growth
that you know how to deal with this common business ailment –before it gets out
of control. Here are my seven favorite tools for creating awareness and
shifting your energy quickly:
1. Morning and Evening Journaling –
This doesn’t have to involve pages of witty writing. A simple list of what’s
happening and how you feel will do. This reminds you to check in with your
mindset, thoughts and emotions. Creating awareness of what’s going on for you
twice a day will reinforce the importance of checking in with yourself. The
awareness alone will create shifts in your energy and ability to shift into a
more life-enhancing place if you need to. I journal every day (especially at
Creative Bagel Time), and I find these journaling pages can be especially
helpful reference tools for a check-in and attitude adjustment in the future.
2. Conscious Breathing – Whenever
you notice that you feel anxious and the gremlin is having a chat party inside,
just the simple act of breathing consciously can help shift your energy.
Consciously and in a relaxed way (not forced) -- breathe in to receive, and
breathe out to release. I do this with my clients quite often at the beginning
of a teleclass to help them get present and be in our virtual space together.
3. Exercise – Ask your body what it
really needs. My body needs exercise, stretching and movement every day. Just
moving your body will move your energy and get you out of your mind and back
into your body so you can access all of you – not just your relentless analytic
side.
4. Guided Visualizations – I find
sitting in quiet meditation difficult, so I’m a big fan of guided
visualizations. I have all different types loaded on my iPod. I will often take
a break in the middle of the afternoon and listen to my angels, take a guided
imagery walk to my favorite peaceful location, or just relax listening to
positive affirmations about my body. It’s enough to shift my energy and
reconnect to my creativity and that possibility-energy.
5. Nap - Sometimes, especially when
I’m going through a big growth phase in my business, I find I need more sleep.
I’ll get sleepy in the afternoon, and my gremlin goes crazy with the thoughts
that I’m procrastinating, and I need to do more, and…. And I’ve learned to
trust that I often just need a 15- or 30-minute nap to recharge. It’s like my
body needs to keep up with my new expanded sense of self.
6. Business Girlfriends – Science
says that women connecting to other women releases oxytocin. This feels good!
Know which business girlfriends you can give a “911-call” who will let you
share your gremlin thoughts. You’ll feel good releasing, you get great
chemicals to support a feel-good mood, and your friend will let you know how
fabulous you really are. A true win-win. Just make sure it’s a supportive
friend who understands you, and you can reciprocate!
7. What Would Your Business Goddess Say? This is one of my favorite exercises for women entrepreneurs. We
don’t often relate to being the CEO of our business, but we can step into the
identity of a Business Goddess – even if just for a moment. When you look at
your business, project, or situation from the place of being a business Goddess
– suddenly your perspective will shift and new ideas, new opportunities or new
ways of looking at it will emerge.
Keep these Energy-Shifting and Gremlin-Busting
strategies posted in your office so you can quickly refer to it and shift back
into your graceful powerful and creative self!

I was listening to an “old” call of yours on my walk and it was talking about the Gratitude Journal. One of the ladies on the call talked about being ‘stuck’ and wanted a suggestion how to get into gratitude. I wanted to share something with you that helped me last summer.
I just went through the alphabet A-Z and wrote down positive words that each letter could stand for. It helps to put you in a more grateful mood even if you are not in a grateful spirit and may open the door for a gratitude adjustment.
