What do Oprah, Ali Brown, and Laura West have in common?

I never fail to be inspired by Oprah and Ali Brown.

Oprah talks to us as women, encouraging us to find our calling, to follow our joy, and to live the life we are meant to live!

Ali Brown (I just got back from her powerful Shine Event in Dallas, Texas!) encourages us to embrace that we are women of influence. It's by simply following our calling, truly reveling in our joy and shining our light in our businesses and our lives that we influence others. From our children, to our husbands, to our friends, to our clients and beyond.

These messages so speak to me.

I have been on a mission since I was a teenager to honor our feminine energy and strengths. It may have looked like I moved away from that calling in my corporate days when the masculine qualities of logic, focus and quick decisions were revered. One of the gifts of those days was that I left corporate knowing there HAD to be a way to include joy in business.

I knew in my soul that what lights us up, that work we are put here to do and is ready to move through us, is powerful. By accepting our own creative power, we will change lives. We are women of influence.

Or, to say it another way, we are the ones we have been waiting for.

If this message lights up your heart and touches a place in you that is yearning to get out…aching to show up bigger and brighter… then I invite you join me and a small group of other creative women entrepreneurs who are ready to play their bigger game.

The thing is (I know this from experience) that we can't always do this alone. It's hard to see what's getting in your own way. So during the Business Goddess Bigger Game event, these two days will help you identify where your creative power lies and what is blocking it.

You can read all the details here… it's coming up quick (November 15 and 16)… I'm leading a small group coaching intensive in Atlanta, GA.

If you are ready to put your work into the world in a bigger way and want some support in igniting your creative power, then this will be the perfect place for you.

Read on… and be sure to register by Wednesday when I close out registration for this event.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me back (just hit reply - it's that easy!) and ask!

I look forward to hearing more about what you are being called to put out into the world!

Warmly,

Friday Joy Infusion: Let Your Soul Into Your Business

I love all types of assessments, typing, readings. You may have heard me talk about one of my favorite types of readings called soul languages. These describe the way I connect with my soul and how it shows up in the world.

My good friend and colleague, Jennifer Urezzio, founder and Spiritual Director of Know Soul's Language, helped me identify my three soul languages. I'm a Mentor (this is my purpose – and this one is pretty obvious, don’t you think?), Sextant (I know where you are and your path), and Connoisseur (I can see your gifts and how to package them) – and each of these shows up in my life and my business very strongly.

I love working with my languages and see how they support me in my daily life and how when I’m off track, they can get in my way! I find it’s useful to have skills for creating awareness about myself, and it makes it easier to realign when needed.

Jennifer has taken the art and science of Soul Languages to a whole new level. She’s put together the Business of Soul Telesummit – Bringing Leaders of Together to Help You Create the Grand Masterpiece.

During this telesummit, you'll hear from me and other leaders, healers, and visionaries who are using their purpose and Soul Languages to live and create businesses with purpose and prosperity.

Each interview will be filled with content-rich material, inspirational stories, and tangible examples on how they are using their Soul (via their Soul Languages) to create a life, a business, and a world that generates peace, happiness, and abundance for all.

I have to say that I’m really impressed with the depth that Jennifer goes – it’s very creative, and she makes something that could be hard to understand very practical!

When you sign up for this free telesummit, you’ll get access to the interviews for 30 days (almost unheard of!), a handy worksheet to keep track of your notes and ahas from each interview, access to videos from several of the speakers (including me!) with even more rich information, and some free goodies.

Here are some of the amazing speakers:

• Amethyst Wyldfyre
• Debbie LaChusa
• Jan Stringer and Alan Hickman
• Dr. Jennifer Howard
• Kimberly Englot
• Laura Hollick
• Lisa Robbin Young
• Marci Shimoff
• Soul Sister Circle from Soul Circle Radio
• Me!

We'll show you how we're letting our souls into our businesses and creating grand masterpieces. I hope you'll be inspired to let your soul guide you in your own grand masterpiece.

Join me for the free Business of Soul Telesummit –
Bringing Leaders Together to Help You Create Your Grand Masterpiece

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,

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, Your Business, and YOU

How deep are you willing to go?

In this day and age of weariness and wariness of slick marketing…being authentic, bold and letting out more of the real passionate you is the real answer to for how you create spirit rich success in your business (and your life)!

Authentic. Bold. More of YOU.

Do you really know what that means?

Notice I did NOT say…learn another marketing strategy.

More YOU.

Creative, smart, sassy, quiet, bold, calm, zen, not-so-zen, funny, sarcastic, soulful, beautiful, messy….YOU.

That’s the secret sauce, ladies.

I know…easy to say…but how to you let her come out and run your business?

I’m inviting you to a place to start.

My Business Goddess Bigger Game Coaching Intensive in November.

Be Your Powerful Creative Self!

I just got back from my Business Goddess Six Figures and Beyond Mastermind retreat in St. Simons Island, GA, and all I can say is "Wow!"

OK, I have a bit more to say...

I designed this retreat to help my mastermind clients discover and embrace their Thought Leadership. We focused on stepping into their Big Self, their unique and vibrant vision, the movement they each are creating in their world – and then operate from that place.

These women wanted what you want – to step into your creativity.

If you are like these women you are sick and tired of hearing more marketing secrets. You’ve been doing that part and it’s not working any more so it MUST be more than just “doing more marketing”.

What I have learned is that the “secret sauce” to more authentic success in your business is directly related to YOU. It means being more alive, more vibrant, and daring to speak from your soul.

The result from the retreat? These five women were so freakin’ excited about their message and who they're working with that they absolutely radiate!

We actually had people buying us drinks at two different restaurants, singing with us, asking us who we were, the housekeeping fairies (that’s what they call themselves) wouldn’t leave us alone, the energy was so compelling! Everywhere we went people could just sense that we were powerful creative women up to something amazing!

They shine, and they're so attractive that they attracted opportunities everywhere they went and people just can’t wait to work with you when you are that alive and engaged!

And that's what you can have, too.

Do you want to tap into the powerful creative being you are?

You can't do it sitting in front of your computer screen playing on Facebook or Twitter or Google +. You can't do it trying to methodically go through your to-do list. You can't do it half-heartedly writing your next sales page.

You do it by stepping out of your day-to-dayness. By being willing to let go of the old stories holding you back and take courageous steps right now - today.

I’ve created a really easy way to get started…

Business Goddess Bigger Game Coaching Intensive
November 15 and 16

And until Friday, September 30, you can get if for the early bird price or a super affordable 4 pay option..

Be your most powerful creative YOU. Play your bigger game. Join me in Atlanta.

Warmly,

Marketing Fun? No Way!!

If you saw my Goldilocks Marketing email yesterday, then you might have noticed the fun twist I gave to talking about marketing. It might have caught your attention that I claim that marketing can be FUN!

"Yeah, right,"... I can hear you saying."Marketing fun? No way! Really?"

By "fun," I don't mean wispy clouds and skipping through the fields, light kind of fun (although there's nothing wrong with that).

What I mean by fun is that when you are inspired, in total alignment with your soul, purpose, passion, and message, your creativity opens up… and so does your confidence, and the clients, and more opportunities!

As a matter of fact, you just can't wait!

So, yes, sure, I was marketing, but once I started playing with the Goldilocks idea, I couldn't wait to write it. To play. To share the idea with my team. To find great images. To share my creativity of the fairy tale and hope it wakes you up!

Marketing yourself and your business in the new world is about opening up your heart and daring to put your creative spirit into your message and then letting yourself be seen in a big way – that’s how you engage your tribe’s heart and imagination and desire to work with YOU!

I love helping women do this!

Here’s how I helped my client, Julia Roger Hamrick, author of Choosing Easy World (one of my fave books, by the way!)

"I have been amazed at Laura's ability to take me from marketing-allergic to marketing with joy, ease, enthusiasm and heart! She is really adept at finding your magnificence and reflecting it back to you in such a way as to make you confident that what you have to offer simply must not be withheld from the world. And that you have a sacred responsibility to share it with all those people whose lives your unique gifts will bless! If you're fortunate enough to get to work with Laura, make sure she's recording your coaching sessions because you will not want to let a single one of her empowering insights and ideas get away from you. She is simply brilliant--and maybe more importantly, knows how to impart that brilliance to you." Julia Rogers Hamrick Author of Choosing Easy World www.juliarogershamrick.com

I’d love to help you get started in discovering your creative marketing style and expression that easily engages YOU and your tribe!
