Friday Joy Infusion: Get Creative with Your Summer Business Planning - Save $100 Today Only

I find that summer's natural relaxing rhythms let our minds "soften up" a bit and allow our hearts to have a turn. The gentle relaxation and pausing allow our innermost dreams to arise. I also see how it's a natural time to tap into our creativity.

It's a juicy time to let your visions make themselves known, to start brainstorming, writing, and joy-fully planning your next product, launch, or project. Not at a hard pace, but with a gentle creative flow of inspiration and ideas put to paper.

(Think about it – this is the time when the earth is nurturing and growing crops that will be ready to be harvested in the later summer months and in the fall.)

I've heard for years how many women take my Joyful Business Guide, a creative business planning system, to the pool or the beach.... just so they can start planting the seeds for their business. They get in touch with their gifts, get clear about their ideal clients, map out projects, create their vision.... and more.

The Joyful Business Guide isn’t your banker’s business plan that will sit on a shelf. It’s a living plan that you’ll use throughout the year to add to, evolve and keep your vision and your projects alive. We call it a creative business plan for a reason. It brings your creative right brain together with the focus and practical energy of your left brain. And you’ll keep on using the tools no matter how long you’ve been in business!

If you are looking to reinvent your business, launch new and bigger projects, and want to create a living plan you can use throughout the year, then I’ve got something special for you!

I'm offering a special summer savings that's only good for today! You can get $100 off the price of the Joyful Business Guide system (I have NEVER offered it this low!) if you purchase by midnight eastern tonight.

Just use coupon code SUMMERFUN to buy your copy of the Joyful Business Guide

Enjoy your summer inspiration and creativity!

Warmly,

Myth: Conscious Entrepreneurs Don’t Market with Sales Pages

I hear a lot of conscious entrepreneurs and women business owners say they are hesitant to create a sales page for a program or an information product because they don’t feel that sales pages are authentic or spiritual.

My answer:  Sales pages aren’t any less spiritual than a conversation, a business card or a web site.  The question isn’t whether a marketing tool is spiritual – any tool (like a sales page) is neutral until YOU infuse it with your intention and energy.  That means YOU are in charge of the energy of the sales page and how it comes across to your audience.  If you want conscious marketing tools – then create your marketing tools consciously – with intention, with integrity and treat people how you want to be treated.

Bottom line:  Know your ideal client and be authentic and genuine.

Don’t Miss It: SpiritRICH Business Teleseries!

The world is shifting, and there's a different way to do business than what we've been taught or modeled.

Traditional business has been built around a model of "get it done & get it done quick." It very much requires a lot of masculine action-oriented energies and strengths. That has served us well in the past, but now, especially for women (and honestly, for men too), it’s time for business to change.

It's the idea that both the feminine and masculine energies have a place - and should have a place - in business and life. That your business is one nourishing part of your life, not an energy-drainer or all-consuming. You want a business that is an outlet for your passion, a business that helps you change the world or makes it better in some way. And your business should provide you with financial success so you can continue to do your world-changing work.

As women, we can't continue with the current way of being in business. As women, we can't continue to drain our energy trying to do it like someone else who doesn't understand our natural strengths, our individual rhythms and our lifestyle priorities.

It's a brand-new way of doing business--and there aren't many models out there and certainly not a map of how to go about running such a business.

That's what the SpiritRICH™ Business Teleseries is all about. I want to help women entrepreneurs understand that they can grow their business to wildly successful heights while at the same time honoring their whole lives –whether it’s children, parents, travel, hobbies, vibrant health or (and) life purpose.

Join me for three calls (while they can all be listened to individually, they'll be the most powerful when you join us for all three):

• Thursday, November 5: The 5 Shifts Happening in the World For Women Entrepreneurs – and Why YOU Need to Know About Them to Be Successful!
• Thursday, November 12: The 7 Traps that Keep Women Entrepreneurs From Authentic Success
• Thursday, November 19: What You Need to Know To Market Yourself Like a Business Goddess

*All calls are 3:00 – 4:00 eastern

The first call is tomorrow on those very shifts in business. If you want to be successful in your business, you have to know what these shifts are all about! Join me as I encourage you to think differently about how you run your business, and how you show up in your business.

Click to read more and to sign up now!

I look forward to having you on the first call tomorrow!

En-JOY!

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 small 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.

"Own Your BIG SELF"

Align with Your Greatness so You Can
Make A Bigger Impact, Attract More Clients
and Charge More Money

We will be working on shifting these beliefs and stepping into your big authentic self!

Registrations started pouring in while we were on the free preview call but you can still get in on the program and SAVE if you register by this Friday! www.joyfulbusiness.com/bigself

Remember decisiveness pays off when it comes to your business! You can't decide to "Own Your Big Self" and then back off. You've heard me say ..."If you have scatter energy the universe delivers scattered results". Now is the time to step in...

We are so excited with the caliber of great entrepreneurs that will be joining us. Go here to learn all the details and register: www.joyfulbusiness.com/bigself

We look forward to hearing you in class and supporting you in Owning Your Big Self!

En-JOY!

Are You Dressing with Intention?

A good friend of mine, Evana Maggiore, author of Fashion Feng Shui, talks about women entrepreneurs dressing with intention.  She suggests that you need to know your  "essential energy" - your authentic natural style - and then identify what is your "intentional energy" - what is the intention you want to communicate, .

This came to mind recently when it snowed in Atlanta. Yes snowed - for ONE whole day we made snowmen!  I was all snuggled inside reading my People magazine -oops! Yes, I confess I really enjoy my "who's who" and "who's wearing what!"  I was reading the issue with Michelle Obama and it struck me that while most of the country was having a winter snow storm there she was on the cover in a beautiful pink summer-like dress. Isn't it still winter in Washington, I thought?   We're talking "no-sleeves"  tank style. (I know you men are like...what is the relevant point here? Bear with me...) 

It really struck me that she was setting "intentional energy"...she was dressing for spring and summer...lighter times.....the time of hope, renewal, new possibilities and enjoyment!  I have no doubt that this was very intentional on her part or the Obama marketing department - can you just hear them chatting about this? "What should Michelle wear for her cover photo to set the message of hope and prosperity? Oh, you know they have this conversation!")

It's really smart marketing if you ask me. I felt it. I wanted it to be spring and all that magical possibility energy that goes with it.

And if you want to read more about Intentional Energy - read my story about my Magic Wealth Bag! ;)

You can also read my related note - more about Michelle & Oprah.
