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!

Need an Energy Infusion? Harnessing the Power of You

Harness the Power of You SpeakersDo you need an energy infusion?

Is it time for something to shift?

Are there some days when you just don’t know how you can keep going or which way to turn in your business?

I can tell you that the answer is rarely to implement a new marketing strategy.

It’s learning how to harness the power of YOU!

I want to share with you a fantastic resource for filling up your well. It’s called “Harnessing The Power of You” telesummit, hosted by my colleague Wilma, and includes interviews with me (I love being part of events like these!) and 16 other successful business women.

It starts Monday. It’s Fr.ee. You’ll learn ways to access your power and energy from me and 16 other successful women.

Just ONE tip from ONE of these women might change your whole day or even your whole business. With telesummits like these, I sign up right away, and I feel good if I take away one big thing that will shift my success in some way. And my guess is that you can’t help but get one juicy, joyful nugget that will help you shift from “Harnessing the Power of You.”

Here are the details where you can join us… and claim your power, the Power of You!

Friday Joy Infusion: Laura West interviewed for Going Pro – a new online magazine for women entrepreneurs

Going Pro online magazine CoverI am honored to be one of the 17 women interviewed for the premiere issue of Going Pro online magazine. This online magazine is beautiful, inspirational and full of practical information for how real women grow their businesses.

My interview is one among these other successful women, including Alicia Forest, Alexis Neely Martin, Gina Bell and many others.

When I received the preview copy last weekend, I literally read it "cover to cover." I really enjoyed the interviews of my colleagues and the realness we all shared about our business growth and personal growth. One truth telling I'll share here: When asked do we ever doubt or get scared any more, every one of us pretty much said, "Every day. All the time." You'll really get that running a business is as much a spiritual growth journey for yourself as is knowing all the nuts and bolts.

Get your free copy!

En-Joy!

Who Is That Woman? I Want to Know Her!

Meet-laurie Last week, Wardrobe and Style Consultant Laurie Mandato, AICI FLC, joined me as one of my fabulous Guest Experts in my Business Goddess Attraction Marketing Program.  She talked about how important our headshots are.  Our photo headshot is our #1 marketing tool and is everywhere we show up: website, social media, Ning groups, mastermind forums, banners, EVERYTHING!

As Laurie shared with us, that photo really gives a person a reason to think, "I would really like to get to know more about this person.  She looks interesting/friendly/exciting/energetic..."

We got a lot of great information about just how to create that headshot that makes people want to know us and engage us.  Thank you, Laurie!

Visit Laurie Mandato and see how she empowers women to step into the spotlight with confidence!

How To Trust Your Gut In Business

I interviewed my good friend and colleague, Dr. Jennifer Howard as our featured Guest Expert for my women entrepreneur program, Business Goddess Attraction Marketing Program.  Dr. Jennifer provided a highly energized and yet deep dive into what “trusting our gut” is all about.

Jennifer Howard- Laura You may not be a part of this program, but I still wanted to provide you with a couple of “Soundbyte Strategies” from Dr. Jennifer that you can use today in your business.

She reinforced the idea of "tuning in" as being a practice. It was helpful to hear her describe the two levels of tuning in: Level 1. – As in what you do in a concentrated practice like meditation or a reflective journal and Level 2. – Which happens moment by moment.

Great validation that really struck a chord with the women: We often think of using our intuition and we’ll know immediately what the answer is.  When decisions are big, we often will have mixed feelings.  We can have a feeling of “knowing” it’s the right path and yet still feel sad that we may be leaving a part of ourselves behind. 

There was so much more goodness and a really powerful meditation.  You can check out Dr. Jennifer Howard’s meditations, programs and products at her website:   http://www.drjenniferhoward.com  

 

Is your old marketing falling apart? Join me to find out what to do now

Are you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and frustrated with your business?

Everything about marketing your business has changed. It’s very frustrating for a lot of entrepreneurs right now. What used to work in your business – the way you enrolled clients, sending out your newsletter, writing blogs - isn't working the way it used to. Workshops aren’t filling. Enrollments are down. Many emails aren’t even being opened!

Everything, I mean EVERYTHING, is changing.

The catch-22 is that you still have a business. You need and want to make money. Plus, you love what you do and you want to change more lives.

So what do you do NOW?

I’m going to tell you on my Business Goddess Power Boost Call #2 tomorrow.

It’s a longer discussion than I can share in an email. But what we are going through with Internet marketing, offline marketing, information product sales, and enrolling clients is dramatically changing.

I for one can’t stand listening or reading emails from business coaches who are talking about the same old programs using the same old success stories.

New times call for a New Way of Being in Business.

If You're Struggling, Then You Need to Shift. It's That Simple. Now to the HOW…

If what you are doing now isn’t working or isn’t enough, then you need to do something different. STOP struggling by repeating what you are doing now.

Here’s what I know needs to shift for most women entrepreneurs:

Money - It's what you need to run and sustain your business and support your life. Simple truth. Are you making enough? Is it flowing in consistently? (I know it’s not ALL about the money. It’s really about freedom, independence, expression, helping others… but if you can’t relax a bit about the money, then you can’t experience what you REALLY want). It’s time for you to SHIFT THIS.

Energy - It's also what you need to run and sustain your businesses. (No, this isn't a copy-paste errror - it's the truth.) If you can't manage your energy effectively - even well - then you could drown in a sea of self-doubt, constant questioning or just plain "running yourself ragged." This makes for poor marketing. Your work doesn’t get into the world. You don’t make money OR change lives. Are you nodding "yes"? It’s time for you to SHIFT THIS.

Power – I’m not talking about manipulating power. I’m talking about your leadership. Your impact. The change you are creating in the world. You pull your creative power from several different areas (seven, in fact). If your power centers aren’t lined up, then your business and leadership falters, and that equals no money, no impact, and lots of frustration. It’s time for you to SHIFT THIS.

What I've found is that if any of your 7 Power Centers are constricted or "stopped up," then they affect all the other power centers.... stifling you, stopping you, maybe even paralyzing you. That always shows up in your money and ultimately your money center. You can tell how it’s working for you by looking at your current results. Is it working for you? If not, stop wishing it would change. SHIFT and do something different.

I see thousands of women business owners struggle to make consistent money and to reach a six-figure level of success. I see them...you…pull back power. YOU play small. YOU hide. You do great work, but you don’t charge enough or show up as the leader you really are.

I'm asking you to step into your power as a Business Goddess. Imagine the strength and the confidence a Business Goddess has. As a Business Goddess, you embrace your inner power and wisdom and put it into action in the world. Stand up tall and run your business the way a Business Goddess would.

Actually, I'm not just asking you to step into being a Business Goddess.... I'm calling you into it.

To provide the support you need to step into and STAY in your Business Goddess creative power… I'm announcing my two new coaching programs,Business Goddess Attraction Marketing Program and Business Goddess Six Figures and Beyond Mentor Coaching and Mastermind Program. These two programs will help you see that the more you line up your energy and power, the easier it is to do the actions that get you the results. And those results will be more money, more clients, more speaking gigs and more recognition.

It's Money. Energy. Power.

To find out more about these two programs, and the very special Early Bird pricing that ends Wednesday, October 27, visitwww.BusinessGoddessCoaching.com.

Feel the Shift. See the Results.

 

P.S. If you're struggling at any level, questioning the business models out there, and yearning for more, then it’s time for a shift. And a shift ALWAYS brings NEW RESULTS. Being a Business Goddess may be just the shift you need. Check it out now, and I hope you’ll join our growing community of powerful and creative Business Goddesses:  www.BusinessGoddessCoaching.com.
