As I have the honour of writing the first chapter in this book I thought I would help
set the scene by sharing with you:
I'll also share with you some great stories along the way because I just LOVE
stories and I hope you do to
To explain the concept very briefly, The Law of Attraction states that you attract
everything into your life. Both the good and the bad. So what you think and
believe is reflected in what you attract into your life.
1. Imagination asking the universe for what you want in life and being very
clear on this
2. Faith letting go and trusting that the universe will provide. You don't
have to always know how
3. Receive you need to be open to the opportunities that are provided to
you and be ready to receive what you asked for.
Of course, this is the simplified version and the science behind the concept is
absolutely fascinating. You will learn a lot about this in some of the chapters our
authors have contributed in this book. Unfortunately, many people have studied
The Law of Attraction, applied the principles to their life and not go the results
they expected. Many have become disillusioned and written the concept off as
"hocus pocus" and this is often because of one common mistake people make.
About 14 years ago I was living in a small village in Papua New Guinea for a few
weeks, doing volunteer work in a little health centre. I got to travel from village to
village and met many locals who would tell me stories of events happening in
other villages (a very efficient grapevine).
While I was there, all of the villagers in a small village had decided to throw all of
their belongings into the pit toilets and burn other belongings.
The theory was that if they went back to having nothing, as they did before WWII,
presents and riches would drop from the sky - just as they did during the war
when parcels of food etc would be dropped from planes. All they needed to do
was truly believe. This had a name - Cargo Culture.
I see so many similarities with the way many people approach the techniques
taught in The Secret, What the Bleep and You were born rich. That if you
truly just believe, it will all happen. Of course, the cargo never fell from the sky
again, and a whole village was left confused and disappointed.
The same confusion and disappointment is inevitable if people treat the power of
manifesting The Law of Attraction with the same cargo culture mentality. Many
people get the concept that they need to imagine what they want, truly believe it
will be provided and be willing to receive. It is the last step "receiving" that so
many misunderstand. Many people interpret receiving as a passive step but
unfortunately this is not the case (wouldn't it be great if it was that easy?)
Be warned though, if you do this you must be prepared to move outside your
comfort zone. This leads me to another story I'd like to share with you.
None of the presenters were born successful. None of them knew how to run a
business or make money on the Internet when they first started. Yet they had
created wonderful success in very different ways. That's when it struck me. Every
one of those people must have made the decision at some stage to really push
themselves out of their comfort zones. They could never have been successful if
they didn't challenge themselves. They took massive action on the opportunities
presented to them.
So I made a decision.
I decided that whenever I had a choice between 2 ways of doing something; one
way that I felt comfortable doing and another that scared me but was doable, I
would ALWAYS choose the option that scared me. No excuses and no
exceptions.
Wow did things change fast then. Very quickly the things I had been imagining
and asking for came searching for me. 18 months after making that decision I
was the one on stage presenting at an Internet Marketing Conference. I didn't
seek this opportunity out, it came to me.
Here is an example of a choice I made and how choosing the scary path
attracted opportunities I would never have had before.
1. I could approach women who were great at what they did but not very well
known (so I could build a reputation as my skills developed), or
2. I could aim for the top and ask the most successful (and inaccessible)
women, and just trust that the technology and my interview skills would
work.
The second option really scared me so, according to my promise to myself, that's
the choice I made.
The women I approached were incredibly supportive and I launched with the
support of internet "legends" which instantly put me on the Internet Map.
Because of that decision I have been booked out every week for well over a year
interviewing incredibly successful women, which means people who join
Wonderful Web Women as gold members have access to the most extensive
archives of the best internet marketing advice on-line.
The key here is; I imagined what I wanted (to find great role models, share them
and act as a catalyst for change for women all over the world), I had faith it was
possible and I took action on opportunities in a way that really pushed me out of
my comfort zone.
So my challenge to you is: Look at the choices you have in your life. Choices that
will move you towards achieving what you really want. Only you can know what
your own comfort zone is and what is scary for you. Now, make the decision.
When you have 2 choices that will move you closer to your dreams will you
commit to always choose the option that makes you stretch beyond the limits you
have always set yourself?
Jashmuna Sabine Nebel is one of our gold members from Germany. One of the
benefits of gold membership is the opportunity to have your website reviewed.
Jasmuna took action and booked for a review. One of the suggestions I made in
the review really pushed Jashmuna out of her comfort zone, but she did it. I'll let
Jashmuna tell you what happened in her own words..
"One of the suggestions Janet gave me for my website was, to put my photo and name
and a bit about myself right on the front page of my site. This was a challenge, as it did
confront me with the old "who am I to show the world who I am, there are so many
people who are known and aren't they better than me?? What will people say or judge"
etc. It helped me a lot to hear that I am not the only one who felt reluctant at first. It's a
bit scaring to step out and become visible to the world."
"I followed the advice anyway, and it's not just that it changes my site to be personal. It's
much deeper, i.e. like a new faith into myself, and say "hi, here I am, and that is the gift I
am here to share with the world".
From this moment things happen by itself, like the Universe saying "Finally! Finally she
allows her vision coming true!"
"When I created my site, I did not even think to already offer healings or coaching. I
planned to create a course or book for the future, but right now I started with reviews of
my most beloved self-development products with my affiliate links, plus creating free
articles, meditation techniques etc."
"Without mentioning anything about offering healings or coaching, my first client from
the other side of the world contacted me. Dear Margaret Saunders from Australia who is
"The most amazing thing is - I have not even had time to update my site for a visible offer
of healings or did any promotion...but somehow people find me: just today I received a
new client request from someone from the Bahamas!"
"Well, that's really the Law of Attraction in action - actually we just need to start to do
what we really love, and the Universe opens the gateways to flood us with everyone and
everything we need. We simply have to take action on it and the success is inevitable."
"..when I finally decided to become a Gold Member things really started to come together
for me. It was about that time that I saw Connie's request for more Women to join their
Mastermind Group (a special benefit for gold members). Knowing that I was ready for
this, I applied and was accepted in to group. This was truly the first time I met Connie 'in
person'.
"I'm not sure why, and I'm sure if you ask me in another 20 or 50 years I will know, but I
really resonated with Connie on our first Mastermind call. However, it wasn't for a
couple of weeks when we realized just how much we could help each other."
"It was about that time that Janet had announced the Wonderful Web Giveaway and all
of us were in a 'tizz' (good Australian term that) to get our offerings together. At the same
time, Connie and I connected for a Mastermind call and we were the only participants.
Connie confided in me at the time that she needed to create her product for the Giveaway
and was getting into the mindset to do it. I was studying Interviewing..and immediately
saw the opportunity where I could help someone and 'practice' what I had learned.
Connie graciously consented to my assistance and the next morning we were off. The
interview, to my mind, was wonderful! I have an abiding interest in Connies Niche -
Yoga specifically, but to me it's the self development aspects of Yoga that are intriguing,
so I interviewed Connie as I would have if I were a prospective Yogi. This interview
became Connies product for the Giveaway event. "
As you can see, both Connie and Charly had moved out of their comfort zones
and taken action. They had joined Wonderful Web Women, joined a mastermind
group when the opportunity was given to them, committed to create their first
products, take part in a giveaway event so they could grow their lists and face the
challenge of learning how to interview and create a product from that interview.
As you will see, Connie faced another challenge and doing so opened the door
for new opportunities she would not have foreseen
"We met in person in Sydney on June 6th 2008 for the first time and from there, our
partnership was born. Connie was brimming with ideas and I was looking for a way to
utilize my skills.
'Connie Says'-- I want to add here that I have had lots of ideas for a long time but was
always very wary to talk to anybody about them because a lot of these savvy internet
marketers are fast and furious in snatching up ideas and claiming them as theirs own and
monetizing them. For whatever unknown reason I completely trusted Charly and put all
my ideas out there in front of her, without hesitating."
"What can I say! It was at that point we both realized that not only were we 'compatible'
whilst being complete opposites, but that we interacted so well together that we just had
to do something."
Connie and Charly have since created a business partnership that is unique. I
like to think of it as the "Yin and Yang" of Internet Marketing
"Through this site and business, we want to help people not only 'overcome their
technology challenges' but to also ensure their physical and mental wellbeing. We are
devising a program that not only will you be able to learn about the techie side of the
internet that will help you either do things for yourself or make informed outsourcing
decisions, you will also be able to ensure that physical and mental well being is looked
after as well. So many people lose sight of the fact that ensuring all aspects of your life
are in balance means that you will be far more productive."
"If Connie and I hadn't met through Wonderful Web Women, this wouldn't be happening.
Thank you Janet for enabling us to meet and putting such a secure framework in place to
allow this to occur."
You can choose to be the catalyst for change in your own life.
Good luck!

My
Journey...Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia
Introduction
Im an adventurous person. I love to travel, learn other cultures by living among
the people, which is by far the best thing to do it. I take opportunities that come
my way, to find the truth and to learn.
I encountered set-backs, but the lessons Ive learned and what it did to my
personal being far exceeded everything else. Aside from the knowledge I
acquired, I became bold, a risk taker, a compassionate person, have self-esteem,
confidence and above all the resilience that I need in tougher times.
When I was in the Philippines, I heard so much about life here in the United
States that to live here is like being in heaven. I took advantage when the
opportunity came. I applied as a professional, 3rd preference. It took a while
before I finally got here but it was worth it. I was able to prove that yes, you can
live in heaven, but you have to work hard to get there.
Against the advise of almost everybody, family, supervisor, friends, etc. I decided
to go to Riyadh. It took me a year to make the final decision. Saudi Arabia is a
closed country and I thought it was an opportunity to live in a country ruled by a
King, render my services and live amongst its people. This article is about my
journey and what I learned.
At the workplace, women expatriates wore their regular clothing with the
exception of the following: Shorts, low-cut dresses or tops, halter or strapless
tops, any tight fitting or revealing clothing. The Saudi women wore black cloaks
or capes over their heads and black clothing covering their entire body. Muslim
(Non-Saudi) women wore a black veil and abaya (a black gown). Unlike the
women from Saudi Arabia, women from Sudan covered their entire body except
their eyes.
The Saudi men wore head cover set, a long skirt which covers all the way down
to the ankle. The headdress consisted of three things, the Taqiyah, the Ghutra
and the Iqal. The Ghutrah, part of the headdress was a square scarf made of
cotton, and was worn folded into a triangular shape with the fold in the front over
the Taqiyah. Ghutra came in either pure white or a combination of red and white
also called smagh or shmagh.
The employees at the hospital, such as women nurses, technicians, etc. who
interacted with the patients, had to speak Arabic. I dealt with professionals. I
picked up some words but had since forgotten.
During prayer times, the Muslim men stopped their work. They assembled at a
designated prayer location while the Muslim women prayed any place where they
happened to be during prayer times.
At the cafeteria, the men and women were segregated. Each had their own
entrance to the cafeteria. There was good selection of food, lots of fresh fruits
and vegetables. The meals were very affordable. There was a restaurant at the
hospital where men and women dined and mingled. Sometimes, I just walked
home, a five minute walk, for my lunch and watched the news on TV.
Our tour guide announced that we had two hours to shop. She wanted to show
the ladies where they could buy inexpensive but good quality abayas. I tagged
along closely as she walked briskly through the crowded mall. It was easy to get
lost when everybody wore abayas and scarves. She entered a store and
exchanged pleasantries with the owner in Arabic. She waited for our entire group
before she introduced us.
Beautiful abayas of different designs and fabrics were displayed throughout the
store. After checking them, I picked up an embroidered silk and asked the owner
how much it cost. One hundred riyal (2.75 riyal/dollar). Our tour guide told him to
be nice to me and gave me a discount, she said, "fifty riyal". I smiled. I
remembered what I used to do in the Philippines. The merchants applied
excessive mark-ups on their merchandise, so we bargained. They continued
haggling until finally they settled for seventy riyal. I handed him the money.
We continued our tour getting in and out of the stores. Then we entered a store
whose walls were covered with golden necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc. of
different sizes and designs. It was quite a sight. Expensive rugs of beautiful
designs and shades draped the walls of another store. Some friendly salesmen
handed us free tiny bottles of perfumes. The two hours shopping was over. We
went back to the bus where the driver was waiting for us. When all the
passengers were accounted for, we drove back to the hospital compound where
we were dropped off individually in front of our buildings.
The hotel tour guides carried lots of food for lunch. After lunch, we drove to what
seemed to be a continuous desert until we reached the horse stables. A British
lady who managed the farm gave us an overview about raising Arabian horses. I
talked to a lady feeding the horses. She handed me a carrot and told me to feed
the horse. I was never this close to a horse. The horse took the food from my
palm. Then I watched a guy expertly cleaning and changing horsehoes.
From the horse farm, we were driven downtown for a shopping trip. We were
allowed three hours to shop. We visited the Fashion Centre/Jamjoom. My friend
wanted to buy a nice abaya. There were lots to choose from. She tried a few and
found the right one. We walked in and out of the stores. I bought souvenirs. The
mall was huge. Finally, it was time to go back to the vans.
We decided to go shopping. A hotel staff offered to drive us to the mall. This time
we took our time. We went to different souks which were virtually found
everywhere. There were moneychangers, material, hardware, gold, silver,
antique and carpet souks. Colourful stalls bursting with daggers, incense burners,
Turkish-style coffee pots, copper-studded Zansibar chests, leather Bedouin
saddle-bags, etc. were displayed. After shopping we took a taxi back to the hotel
and just rested. This was our last day. We had our luggage ready for check-out.
The Filipino tour guides instructed us to assemble at the lobby and get ready for
our departure to Jeddah airport. The guides were there constantly helping us with
our needs. It was late when my friend and I were dropped off in front of our
building. I treasured this enjoyable and wonderful trip.
The Mohs scale is one measurement of mineral hardness which is the resistance
to scratching and also related to its toughness. Desert diamond is rated 7.5.
Because of its composition, it is heavier than carbon. A one carat is about 20%
smaller than a diamond.
When we reached the area, the women were allowed to remove their scarves
and abayas. The Mutaween were not around to enforce the dress code. Summan
was miles of flat, pebble-strewn, hard-packed sand or dirt. The hard surface
seemed to go on forever as it stretched to the horizon. Early in the morning with
the rising sun is the best way to hunt them. Mohammed showed us how to
distinguish a desert diamond from the rest of the stones. Hold the stone toward
the sun, it should have a clear internal structure. We scattered in different
directions searching for the precious stone.
Initially, I had a hard time distinguishing the real stone. Mohammed had to show
it to me twice or three times before I became confident I was picking the right
pebble. I was cold. The leader called everybody for a snack. He carried lots of
snacks to choose from. I was shivering but it stopped when I drunk a very hot
coffee. Everyone had a story about their hunting luck. One guy collected a lot, but
when Mohammed checked some of them, most were not real. I collected a few
real ones. After a while, we continued our search until it was time to leave.
These precious stones are found throughout Saudi Arabia. Some of the highest
quality is located in Qaysumah, an oil pipeline village. They are cleaned to
prepare for the cutting. Although, there are places in Riyadh where these stones
could be cut, most are send to Bangkok to be worked. Its more expensive to
have the stone cut and processed than just buying the finish product.
Some of them were young, very friendly and introduced themselves. Some
voices were familiar because I heard those voices at work. It was a surprise and
a pleasure to see the faces behind those veils. They were very excited and like
most young ladies they talked about their dresses, displaying them, how they
were chosen, etc. Some had sewn their own dresses and were very proud of it.
After the party, I left with one of the American expatriates. I commented on why
these Saudi women bothered to wear their make up, had their nails polished and
dressed up only to cover them. She remarked that for the married Saudi women,
they did it for their husbands. I took the elevator to my fourth floor apartment,
glad that I accepted the invitation and learned more about the Saudi women.
Action Box
So, what are you waiting for?
1. I encourage everyone to take a leap, go see the rest
of the world. Find out for yourself what people are
talking about, live among the people and see what it
does to your personal being.
Notes
What actions will you take today?
Have you ever wanted to start a business but you didn't know what you
wanted to do or where to begin?
You will discover the WHY, WHAT & HOW of starting your own business in this
chapter.
Starting a business is something that can be very rewarding and fulfilling if you
follow your passion.
Does that sound too good to be true? Well it's not. There are people living their
life like this every single day and you could be one of them.
Step 1.
On a piece of paper write down the reasons why you want to start a business.
For example; I want more money. Why do you want more money?
Do you want to provide your family with a better lifestyle? Do you want to be
financially free? Do you want to make decisions on your desires not your bank
balance? Then go even deeper into why you want all the reasons you just listed
until you find the reasons deep within your soul.
Step 3
Now think about how you would feel if you already have everything you have just
written. How happy would you be? Write all your emotions down under each
reason.
Step 4
Once you have written down your emotions close your eyes and imagine you
have achieved your goal. Create a movie in your mind of your success. How
does it feel? What does it look like? How does it smell? What do you hear?
Somewhere deep within you is the power to have and be whatever you want, you
just have to learn to master it!
One thing I have learnt in the past year is that you have to do what you are
passionate about to attract the fortune you are entitled to. I started many
business ventures just to make money which was the wrong way to go about it
because even though I made money I was unhappy and bored with what I was
doing therefore leaving a lot of money on the table. You have to design your
business around what you love and you will attract more money and success
than you could have ever dreamed of.
The answers of what you should be doing are within you right now.
Step 2
Make a list of all the things that interest you. You may find the answers to this
one in the television shows you watch or the magazines you read.
Step 3
Make a list of the kind of books you read or the websites you visit. By now you
might see a pattern.
Step 4
Make a list of times when you felt the happiest and the things you were doing to
feel that happiness?
Step 5
Make a list of all the skills that you have. Include all the skills or tasks you carried
out in the jobs you have had.
Step 6
On a sheet of paper draw a line down the middle from top to bottom then
mentally go through the tasks you are required to do in you current career, writing
the things you enjoy on one side and the things you dislike on the other.
Once you have made your lists or in other words completed a stocktake of what
you enjoy in your life you will see a pattern of what makes you happy and what
you are good at.
Once you have opened your mind and the possibilities are following to you, it
may get a little overwhelming, but if you keep on top of your ideas you can find
the one or two that will lead you to your dream business.
Step 2.
Write down any ideas or plans of what you could do with each opportunity you
have noticed. It doesn't matter if you cannot see how you can make money with it
right now just write it down to get it out of your head and you can come back to it
later.
Step 3
Pick one or two opportunities to research and develop to see if this could be a
viable business. Don't worry if you can't find a business in the first few tries. Each
idea you rule out is one idea closer to your dream business.
Don't rush this process. If you over think it or try to push what you simply think
would work but you don't truly feel it, you may miss an opportunity of a life time.
If you are still unsure about what to look for just think about all the businesses
you deal with in the areas of your life. For example: I like to make jewellery. Just
with this one hobby I came across manufacturers, online bead shops, craft
shops, other jewellery designers, publishers, newsagents, book stores, courier
companies, Australia Post and many more....
Can you see how many businesses can come directly or indirectly from one
hobby?
Open your mind and your heart to opportunities and there will be more available
to you than you could ever use. Write down all your ideas and then pick one at a
time to test and develop to avoid the idea avalanche.
Once you are using the Law of Attraction it is time to add the missing
piece- ACTION!
You now have your vision of the future, your business idea and you can see
endless possibilities, you have to do the work to bring it into reality.
I know what you are thinking - WORK. Doesn't everything just come to me? The
answer is yes and no.
Everything is being drawn to you but you have to do the things necessary to bring
them into your reality.
All you have to do is take one baby step at a time towards developing your
business and you will be amazed how quickly your dream becomes reality.
If you are doing what you love then it doesn't feel like WORK
Imagine if you loved to play basketball and someone offered you a contract for
$10,000,000 to play basketball. Wouldn't that be great? For some people this is
exactly what they do (and some get paid even more).
Enjoy this process. It will also work in different areas of your life as well as your
business idea. Remember you need to use the Law of Attraction and the Law of
Action together to achieve the success you desire in you life.
If you feel that your life can be so much better than it currently is..
1. If you have ever wanted to start your own business but just didn't know
where to begin....

Kiss, by Sheila Chandra, Women, Im Calling You
Do you remember these words by The Beatles? For me, recently they have
taken on a different meaning. This is what they are saying to me now.
And imagine all the energy you are freeing up for success
The true success of being free to be your totally authentic You!
Well maybe it was to find once again your true female self
In her natural authentic form?
As you learn to own your Goddess, You become free of the tyranny of external
conformity. What better way to control women and quell her power than to
convince her she does not measure up to some external standard. Do you relate
to that? Do you feel the power it steals from you? While you are focused on
your perceived lack, the world is being run without you in ways that make your
heart grieve.
A Goddess is not afraid of ageing, for she knows it is perfectly natural and that
each cycle opens her to new life and learning. She knows that her wrinkles
express her life experience and wisdom.
A Goddess loves men, for she knows they are the other side of herself
A Goddess finds her source of strength within and in her contact with nature.
When you learn to accept all of those bits that you have rejected, you put back
together the shattered pieces of your true self into a magnificent painting of your
sacred inner temple.
You are the embodiment of that temple. Your source lies within.
From a place of inner Abundance you create abundance all around you.
As you gently learn to love all the bits of you you feel the flow of your life force
regenerating in you opening doorways to your intuition and knowing to be
heard and expressed.
I am now being called to connect directly with women around the world who want
to free themselves of all limitation to living their authentic truth and embrace their
inner beauty and abundant power.
Transformational Photography has been born. With it, I take women on a journey
to connect with their divine selves their inner sanctuary to first experience it
and then to have a living memory of the experience in the photography. This also
includes Your Body Art Book of you, with quotes from your insights received
during the session, and a series of printed cards with your favourite images
printed on them to share with your world.
Your Body Art Book is a Touchstone for you a reminder to yourself, on those
days when you lose connection with yourself, of how beautiful you truly are.
Yes it was truly inspirational seeing myself through the eyes of Ankyas
wonderful eyes.
I think this is the very first time in my life that I have allowed myself to see and
open to the beauty within me. This was through the soft and gentle guidance and
encouragement of Ankyas voice that repeatedly said you are so beautifulI felt
myself for the first time going to the depth of my soul and the roots within
stretching up to the light and the love within me that is one with the beauty of
nature and one with my own beauty.
My experience of seeing the photos I wanted to cry with joy at seeing my beauty
shining out to the world and saying yes to my inner wisdom, strength, my
feminine power, my wild hair my natural being true to my nature, my
overwhelming sense of freedom yes, its truly me. Yes, I cherish the divine
source of love and beauty within and I own it. Its me.
Thank you so much Ankya for being there and giving me this wonderful
opportunity to appreciate and love myself through my own eyes for the first time
and saying yes to being me.

How To Motivate
Your Child
You probably know that the words we speak to our children have a powerful
influence over the attitudes they develop, right? This in turn, has a huge impact
on their motivation.
But sometimes, as parents, we get busy and tired. If only we had a few key
phrases to share with our children; a selection of empowering messages that
would continue to influence long after we've said them.
We are all unique, so the answer will be different for each of us. Fully listen to
your child's answer and give it importance.
By that, I mean think about what they are saying, not what you want to say next.
Try to really understand how your child feels. Listen with sympathy and
sensitivity.
Some children give up on learning because they think that personal effort and
persistence are useless. They feel helpless. If this is happening to your child,
accept your child's expression of negative feelings.
You could say something like, 'I understand how you would feel like that. It's OK.
How about we look at some new ways of thinking to change what happens for
you? Then you might feel, and be able to do things, differently.'
Self-talk is another word for what you are thinking, or telling yourself, about
events as you experience them. An optimistic style of self-talk leads to success
in learning.
You can help your child develop optimism by sharing your own self-talk. Talk
about something your child has done well and share your own thoughts about it
out loud.
Say something like this, 'I was just saying to myself that when you try hard, with
your homework, you get good results.'
In this way, you not only model optimistic self-talk but you attribute your child's
success to 'trying hard', something your child can control.
Focus on effort, strategy and attitude. Things your child can control like trying
hard, practice, planning and organisation.
Respect your child's autonomy. Encourage your child to take responsibility for
solving their own problems. Involve your child in family decision making.
Help your child realise that there is more to being successful than competence in
a narrow range of skills.
Allow your child many opportunities to show the world, and themselves, what
they can do. There are many pathways to success.
Discover your child's unique learning style. It is the key to unlocking their natural
motivation.
They understand that we can't win all the time, and they accept failure as an
indicator of their next challenge.
By encouraging your child to achieve their 'personal best' they can compete with
their own past performance.
This not only gives them more control over the outcome, but also prevents the
damaging effects of comparison with others.
The solution is to break it into smaller parts and take it step by step.
As each step is completed, encourage your child's effort so they feel successful.
The focus is on effort, something your child can control. This gives your child the
confidence to keep trying.
Help your child tap into this feeling each step along the way, by discussing and
setting up small rewards.
Remember each small step where your child feels successful, leads to greater
success. So celebrate your child's efforts and achievements.
Teach your child how to reward themselves by giving them feedback such as,
'That's a terrific project. What do you think about it?'
Encourage your child to make positive comments about their efforts and
achievements.
Everyone needs a success team to support and encourage them 100% of the
way. Who's on your child's team?
Have you considered a study buddy or a mentor who shares your child's special
interests?
Positive people can often teach, through their own example, how to press on
when enthusiasm wanes and how to bounce back from a setback.
Support your child's school. It gives your child a sense of belonging and helps
them fit in.
Each child is different and every stage of development brings new challenges, so
there may be times when you need some advice and support.
Laugh at your own mistakes. Children love it. It gives them the message that
mistakes are OK and reduces the fear of failing.
So have fun, lighten up and share a joke, even if it is at your own expense!
Message 11 - "I love and accept you for who you are"
You can have a deep and profoundly positive effect on your child.
The messages you give them in their childhood stay in their minds through to
adulthood, and influence the way they think about themselves and interact with
the world.
These messages affect their willingness to have a go, to keep trying, and to
bounce back when things go wrong.
Treasure your child's uniqueness and most of all show them you love and
accept them for who they are.

Notes
What actions will you take today?
First, let me point out that perfectionists come in both male and female versions,
but it will make writing this much easier if I assume the non-perfectionist spouse
is male. Besides, I find that females are more likely to strive for perfectionism
than their partners, though the advice applies to both sexes.
Lets begin with a few examples of what life was like before I learned how to tone
down my need to always be right and to do everything as well as I possibly could.
Typical would be a decision to invite a few friends for a simple dinner party.
Before I knew it, I would include twice as many guests and three times the
number of dishes I had originally planned. When guests offered to bring
something, Id politely let them know I could handle it all myself. However, Id
make certain my husband knew how much work I had put into the evening and I
expected compliments for my efforts.
People who dont live with a perfectionist may think there are worse things than
having a spouse who does a pretty good job with almost everything she does.
And while you realize you may feel a little less talented in comparison, it would be
useful to have someone who always remembers the details of bringing salt and
mosquito repellent on a camping trip.
As you can imagine, one of the reasons people are attracted to perfectionists is
that we do what we say well do and finish tasks when others quit. With us
around, the non-perfectionist doesnt have to do as much work.
However, ask someone who has lived with a perfectionist for several years and
you will learn that it is hard to continually be the cheerleader for someone with
low self-esteem. The very traits that attracted you to her in the beginning can
drive you apart, or at least cause conflict.
For example, when we were newly married, I would wrap presents so elaborately
that people would take pictures before they opened them. Yet I would resent it
when my husband didnt share the job. Had I thought about it more, I would have
realized that he isnt at all artistic and doesnt feel that much effort is necessary. It
just wasnt his thing. Besides, the love he presents with a gift in a brown paper
bag is no less sincere than love in a fancy box.
Does she tend to assume that you have high standards for her even if you dont
say so?
Does she generally hear any comments that counter her opinions as criticism of
her as a person?
Is she often impatient with her imperfections and do images of past failures
plague her?
Do others frequently complain that the standards she sets for them are too high?
Has she often postponed a job because she hadnt laid out all the steps needed
to do it correctly, then become paralysed at the prospect of not doing it well
enough and end up not doing it at all?
If you start to tell a story about something you recently learned, does she often
make certain that you know that she is also aware of what happened?
Does she frequently complain about the incompetence of others, including you?
Does she seem to feel guilty about many things that other people wouldnt feel
guilty about doing?
Does she usually react to a simple statement of disagreement as though she has
been seriously attacked, even when the criticism is not rude, angry, or
demanding?
Notice that the questions above include words like always, often, and
usually, because there are times when doing things well works out fine for
everyone. No one wants to fail. Striving for excellence is fine and its natural to
sometimes want others to share in our pride of a job well done.
However, striving for perfection is something else entirely. It can get tiresome
having to continually praise a perfectionist spouse who lets you know that
admiration is required for all her efforts, who wants you to have as high standards
as she and who wants to control every situation. So if you answered yes to half of
these questions, the chances are youre living with a perfectionist.
Lets start with the fact that your spouse probably doesnt experience herself as
trying too hard. She doesnt stop to realize she tries to work at 110% capacity
110% of the time. In fact, every perfectionist Ive met in my marriage and family
practice denies he or she wants to be perfect. They all say, Im just trying to do
well. Unaware of their often impossibly high standards, they dont know when
theyve reached a reasonable place to stop and dont know what good enough
means.
As long as your partner doesnt demand you do more than necessary, of course,
you can tolerate the standards she places on herself. Unfortunately, in a world
where the achievement of high standards is not usually the norm, including the
world within the home, perfectionists feel displeased much of the time. Self-
critical, judgmental of others and opinionated, we often find it hard to see the
other persons point of view, although most of us have learned to be quite
pleasant and courteous in our relationships.
This veneer causes us internal distress that others dont see. When we think
about it, we know that 110% is reasonable. But when we dont achieve that level
of success, we feel shamed. And it is this sense of shame that lies at the heart of
a perfectionists pain, for shame is the feeling that not only have we disappointed
someone, we are, at our core, bad in some way. This shame turns easily into
anger, which is often suppressed or denied, though our spouses may often feel
its effect.
Imagine what it must feel like to constantly check to see whether another person
spouse, teacher, parent, sibling, friend, boss, or child believes you did what
you think you were supposed to do, and whether you did it well enough.
In actual fact, of course, your perfectionist may have done exactly what you
wanted her to do (or what you would have been satisfied to accept) long before
she finally got around to finishing a project. You, of course, would find it only
reasonable to check with the person who asked you to do a job so you could
understand what he or she required. But from the perspective of a perfectionist,
this would be a sign of weakness and indicate she hadnt understood the
instructions, mind-reading being one of the skills perfectionists think they ought
to have. Since they need the approval of others so badly, theyre not willing to
confront the other person and learn whether theyve guessed correctly. So they
put on a cheerful face, yet shudder in fear they wont be liked!
Since perfectionists think theyve been appointed Gods assistant, they must be
very careful and make sure all their decisions are the best possible in the
circumstances. Consequently, as you have undoubtedly already discovered, it
can take a long time for her to choose not only the best pattern of wallpaper for
the dining room, but any DVD she rents. This may drive you crazy, but remember
that she doesnt want to take any chances that she will choose wrong. She isnt
yet able to see that that any choice that anyone makes is simply part of the
human condition: sometimes we make great choices, sometimes we dont.
That is why you may sometimes get a sense of foreboding when she suggests
you choose the evenings movie or restaurant. She may be able to avoid putting
in her two-cents worth, but she is secretly afraid that you may not make quite as
good a choice as you should. Then, if you happen to choose something that
you both agree is terrible, despite all the good reviews youve read, she may be
outwardly magnanimous in forgiving you, even laughing about it. But inside there
is a good chance she is disappointed in you for not choosing better. After all, as
Gods appointed assistant in making sure the universe runs smoothly, if you dont
make mistakes, her life is easier.
It is nice to get praise for doing well, of course. Praise helps us know we have
reached the goals someone thinks we can reach. Praise can reinforce the good
feeling that comes from finishing a difficult task. All of us like to experience that
sense of achievement. Winning a race can leave us feeling were on the top of
the world. The problem is that no one stays on the top forever. Rather than
accepting our new position as somewhere between the top and bottom, we feel
impotent. We feel ordinary, an uncomfortable feeling because our parents
wanted us to be special.
Our perfectionism also grew out of the fact that as children we didnt learn that
mistakes were a natural and acceptable part of life. We didnt learn that they
were to be honoured because they offer a chance to learn to live in the middle
ground between success and failure.
What can you do? First, I suggest you remember that it isnt comfortable living in
a perfectionists skin. I strongly suspect she would appreciate your help in getting
past her fear of failure and in becoming more accepting of the middle ground
where most people live. If you seriously give these suggestions a good try, I will
almost guarantee that life will be better for both of you.

Notes
What actions will you take today?
The world economic situation isn't the best right now - but it's also got its silver
lining. As the saying goes, "Necessity is the mother of invention"... so creativity is
the means we can all use to become inventors! Many businesses thrive during
hard economic times; let's make yours one of them!
Repetition
And, if I may, quote one more saying, "Out of sight, out of mind" really is true
when it comes to business. Repetition is crucial for acquiring new customers and
for retaining the old. For obtaining new customers, a key to effective advertising
is product (or service) recognition. On the average, it can take anywhere from 6
to 10 times for a viewer to see a companys ad before they are moved to action.
Even previous and current customers need to be reminded of your business and
what it can do for them. Continual communication builds rapport and in turn,
loyalty.
Cross Promoting
Introduce your product to several different markets, gaining exposure to broader
amounts of people, as well as repetition to a number of them. Try to cross
promote through various avenues, traditional and non-tradtional.
What can you do to stay in touch with your existing customers and encourge their
thinking of you when they are ready to shop? And how do you acquire new
business?
Think creatively. Can you design some Viral Marketing? Do you have an offer
that can inspire people to pass it on? Can you create a game they can
participate in that makes them laugh or gets them so excited about the prize that
they have to spread the word? Even a coupon (in your emails or on paper) can
cause people to want to share the wealth. Make it really enticing. Consider
Joint Ventures - Partner with another business, each of you giving the customer
a discount or freebie when they've purchased at the other establishment. This
works with physical as well as internet businesses.
Free Bonuses - Promote your business with extra incentives - extra services
(free delivery, free coffee refills, free belt with a pair of shoes, a free informational
e-book, a sampling of your service, whatever makes sense for your business).
Ask for Referrals - Give ___% off as a thank you to our customers who refer a
new customer. Post a sign in your shop, on your website and in your email
promotions (more on this below).
Periodic Phone Calls If you are in a service business, periodically phone your
clients to check in and update them. My broker does this twice a year which has
added greatly toward solidifying my loyalty to her.
Send Holiday and Birthday Cards Sending cards for special occassions via
email or post is a lovely way to stay in touch and show your customers that you
appreciate them.
If you do have the budget for direct mail and print ads, all the better; add those to
the mix too.
All commonly used promotional tactics were once new, creative ideas. Would you
like to try some creative thinking? You may be surprised with the inventive, and
successful, ideas you can come up with!

Course Junkies on
Detox
Are you an alternative health care practitioner, constantly looking to improve your
services to your clients? Or are you a professional who thinks you constantly
have to attend conferences or trainings in order to become the best in your field?
Well then I am sure you are familiar with a very common illness of that industry
called course junkie-itis. And may be you even suffer from it yourself.
That means that many professionals, especially running their own business,
complain constantly about how much they work and how little money they have
at their disposal. No wonder, they are spending it all on their training and hours of
conferences and fail to charge enough for their own services particularly after
having attended so much learning and education.
One is that the junkies never have time for themselves which eventually leads to
all sorts of problems, health, social, mental etc. The other is that they never
Now when I start thinking about this problem I realise that the junkie-itis is the
more severe of both problems and that is why I want to go deeper into the
resolving of that problem, hoping to being able to help you make this new year a
more successful even though we seem to head into really difficult and gloomy
times. But in those times only the good ones will survive and those are the ones
that make wise decisions and know exactly what to do because they have a plan.
The first question for me is; why do health care practitioners and many other
professionals think they constantly have to go to trainings and/or education
seminars?
Is it really because they want to improve their services to their clients? Or is the
reality that they never feel they are good enough? Really, how much of the
content they learn in these trainings do they really use? May be 30-40%? And
why is that? Because it is impossible to apply everything you learn, it often
doesnt make sense in your working environment or simply is not required by
your clients. And if you dont apply what you learned immediately you forget it,
you lose it, and all the time and money spent on it is wasted. Just imagine what
you could have done with that weekend and that money that would have given
YOU some enjoyment, relief, relaxation!
It is a constant search for well what? This one gem? This one therapy that
makes you better than anyone else? This one service that your clients will love
and for what they will finally tell you and you might finally believe it how good
you are. But guess what, you will be searching for a long time and it will cost you
a lot of time, money and frustration and you might not ever find it. Because you
have to find it in YOURSELF.
If you cannot reach a point where you accept that you are a good practitioner and
that you are giving a good service you will never get cured from course-junkie-itis
and probably not from no-money-itis either.
So what can help you in getting to that most important point of content and self
confidence? From where on you will have more weekends available to you, more
money available to use for you or your family, more clients that come to you
1. Sit down and decide what you want your expertise to be. Really think
about what clients you want to serve in your working environment. E.g.
Infertility treatments, children's problems, diet, pain management, or
whatever it might be. When there are more than 1 area, write down more
than one and then rank them in order form highest to lowest priority. In the
end you really should come up with one area only. That means you will
become a specialist and that is what people are looking for more and
more. They want to be sure that you are an expert in the field. And that is
what you have to shout out with every kind of marketing and advertising
you are doing.
2. Once you have established your expertise, you know what specialist you
want to become, only look for trainings that will help you becoming even
better in your specialist field. Limit the number of trainings to a maximum
of 4 per year.
3. Create a mantra for yourself that includes praises for you and your skills
and knowledge. Use this mantra whenever possible. Write it down on Post
It notes which you stick around your house. Carry it in your wallet. Say it
loud various times through the day, start in the morning and say it last at
night. And to underline your confidence, put up your fees for your
specialised service. Remember specialists always charge more than
Generalist.
And if you are looking for the best training available in the field of Pain
management then you might want to have a look into Dorn Spinal Therapy
and meet me personally at one of the trainings I facilitate around Australia
and the US.
Since then she has been committed to making Dorn Spinal Therapy available to

Blogging to Attract
Attention!
Generally a Blog displays content in a chronological order, with the most recent
content or News at the top of the page. In most cases content is categorized
and is easily accessible.
The content on a Blog consists of both pages and posts. A post is an individual
piece of content which may be text, images, video, audio or any combination.
According to Technorati, the leading Blog search engine, there are more than 1.5
million new Blog posts in real time every day.
The purpose of this article is to not just outline what a Blog is, but to bring to your
attention to some of the many benefits available to you through the medium of
Blogging as a business growth and client attraction marketing medium.
Blogging enables you to publish content online, gain exposure, attract new
clients, and market yourself and your business to a mass audience of potential
clients. Three of the biggest benefits of Blogging are;
A Blog in many ways is like a Content Management System which in years gone
past could cost thousands of dollars to setup. The functionality now comes with
most Blogging platforms as standard for very low cost or in some cases even free
and enables you to easily publish and edit your own content on the internet.
Your Blog allows you to establish an authentic and personal voice on the internet
and build a relationship and communication channel with potential and existing
clients. The benefit here is that you will naturally attract the right type of
prospects and clients and you will be allowing them to get to know, like and trust
you so that they will want to do business with you.
All of the above are true results when you become known in your industry as a
leader and an expert. Those who shine publicly in their industries as experts are
the go-to people and they are the ones that easily attract clients.
A business Blog is a marketing tool that puts you in the public eye and that allows
you to become visible on the internet as an expert. The goal should be to publish
articles, information, news and other industry specific information that will serve
to educate your clients and prospects and that will put you into the limelight as a
trusted source and an expert.
And a Blog can help you get positioned more often and for more search
keywords and phrases. The reason for this is twofold. One reason is the
functionality behind the blogging platform and the second reason is the amount of
content you will be publishing. The more content you offer online that includes
your keywords (the words your potential clients are searching for) the more
chances the search engines can find and index your pages and return them in
results.

What better place to put the Law of Attraction into action, than
in our feelings about parenting
In focusing on the areas that we, as parents, are not delivering and feel we
should be, we not only continue to manifest our failings but it gets
worse. Our children become focused on our inadequacies, what they are NOT
getting, and what they feel they are entitled to. What follows for parents can be
guilt, anger and frustration only serving to deepen feelings of inadequacy.
So, how do you raise happy, contented, resilient children who are also motivated
to care for others (including you) and make the world a better place? Well, you
begin by feeling happy, content and resilient yourself whilst being motivated to
care for others (including them) and make the world a better place..... it seems so
simple, so why do so many of us struggle with parenting?
Did you know that thinking and ruminating about your children
is an important part of parenting?
Many parents have children at the front or back of their minds no matter what
else is happening. Wondering how they are going during their first day of school,
or their first date, constantly thinking about them in day care, or when they are at
work. Being concerned about them when they are sick - calling them from work
to check if they are OK. Psychological theorists refer to this thinking and
ruminating in different ways. Winnicott 2 calls it primary maternal pre-occupation,
Bion 3 calls it maternal reverie. Yes, it is so important to your childs
development, they have even developed whole theories around it, because
psychotherapists see the consequences of what happens when it is not there.
WHY? One reason is that when your child knows you are thinking about
them, they learn to feel that they are not alone in the world. In my
psychotherapy practice, feeling alone in the world is the source of a great deal of
suffering in my adult patients. So next time you are trying to work and cant stop
thinking about your children, instead of feeling frustrated by the conflict,
congratulate yourself on your parenting ability!
Communication
Many of us underestimate the power of the words we use. Most commonly, we
learn our patterns of communication from our own families, and because they are
patterns that we are familiar with, we rarely see them from the outside and dont
challenge or question their validity. The same principle applies in all relationships
and of course in the workplace.
Adding to the confusion, the same pattern of communication can be useful in one
situation and harmful in another. Let me give you an example of how the same
pattern of communication can have vastly different effects depending on the
context. To quote RD Laing (1976) 4

The daughter did and saw that her mother was right after all and realised
how wrong she had been not to be grateful for having a mother who so
loved her that she would tell her the truth about herself. Whatever it might
be.........
........The dialogue appeared somewhat disturbing, even sinister. Suppose
we changed one word in it; replace evil by pretty.
M (to fourteen year old daughter): You are pretty.
D: No Im not.
M: Yes, you are.
D: Uncle Jack doesnt think so.
M: He doesnt love you as I do. Only a mother really knows the truth
about her daughter, and only one who loves you as I do will ever tell you
the truth about yourself no matter what it is. If you dont believe me, just
look in the mirror carefully and you will see that Im telling the truth.
The above example highlights how influential our communications are to our
children and to others. Imagine the profound consequences of a small change in
the way we communicate. But dont believe me see for yourself!

for more than 30 years: janresnick.com .
Firm and consistent boundaries are not only important for the safety and
welfare of your child, but also for you. WHY? It is just as important to
demonstrate that you have respect for yourself by meaning no when you
say it, as it is to teach your child about what is right and what is wrong. Now that
doesnt mean that you are never negotiable or never open to another opinion.
But it does mean that you will not let anyone, including your child, walk all over
you. In doing so, you show your child that you can look after yourself (some
children feel that they have to take the parental role), and demonstrate to them
how to protect themselves. Boundaries when fair and reasonable tend to help
children feel safe and cared for.
3. Create a local village - people and places that you and your children
can feel known by, who form part of your neighbourhood and can be
there for back up and support when needed. This can include a virtual
neighbourhood when insufficient local resources are available.
5. Allow time for yourself (if you possibly can). I know it sounds corny,
but any time you spend on your own growth and development (or even
relaxation for the chronically exhausted) can translate into more enjoyable
parenting experiences, and happier and emotionally healthier children.
Perhaps if you have been struggling with parenting issues for a while you may be
wondering if it is too late to begin now. If you and your child are still open and
available to change and development, then change is still possible. Some people
go through a mid life crisis to attend to aspects of their youth or childhood that
remain unresolved. Child therapists will tell you that one of the most important
ingredients for successful childhood development is the parent. So, working on
yourself to feel better about you and how you relate as a parent, will create
a wealth of parenting enjoyment and rewards.

Rock Bottom
After running Organize Your Life on my own for almost 8 years, I came to a
crossroads. I had some great publicity on TV (A Current Affair) and other media
and became totally overwhelmed by the enormity of what I had to do to keep the
business moving forward and cope with the growing demand. It was almost a
case of be careful what you wish for, because with two young children the
demands were too much.
After feeling like I was slowly drowning for a few years, I made the very difficult
decision to sell my Baby. The thought of going into business with anyone else
was completely foreign to me and too hard to contemplate how on earth it would
work. Too many What ifs
Unfortunately, Fortunately
I have people sometimes say to me Its so lucky you didnt sell you business or
you wouldnt be where you are today. And I tell them if it werent for setting
about selling my business I wouldnt be where I am today. It was how I found my
two amazing business partners Deb and Julie and got to still grow it as I had
always wanted to with their skills (ones I didnt have) to make it happen. Totally
meant to be in our book! There is always a silver lining you just have to look
for it.

What actions will you take today?
To be able to put the Law of Attraction into action you need to be balanced so
you are able to focus. We can teach you many different ways to achieve balance.
However, in this article, were going to focus on just one method - Aromatherapy.
Aromatherapy is very effective, quick and easy to use and we both love it.
(Charly says ... ) "I have to agree. I spend a lot of time working on my computer
or just hanging around the house and when I need a pep up or a wind down,
out comes my oil burner and oils. Its so effective that both my children also have
their own favourites."
Four Simple Steps and you are on your way to enjoy the benefits you deserve:
Step 1 gain some knowledge about aromatherapy (this article and our
free audio recording contains enough information to get you started)
Essential oils can be used in many different ways. Aromatherapy is often used in
conjunction with massage therapy, acupuncture, reflexology and herbal
remedies.
You can use those amazing oils yourself to create balance, harmony and focus in
your personal life. In turn, this will help you to be much more successful in
business. Essential oils can also be used to enhance your relaxation or
meditation so you can visualize your goals more clearly. Studies have shown that
Lavender oil helps you to make up to 20% less mistakes while working.
(Charly comments ...) "You know Connie, I use Lavender when I have a
headache too. A couple of drops on my hanky really helps or if its bad, in my
oil burner whilst I get a nap. Does wonders!"
Essential oils are quick and easy to use. You can start with just a couple of oils
and then gradually build up your collection as you gain knowledge and
confidence.
(Charly says ) "Connie shares some of her favourite blends with us in our
audio interview. They are really great and I cant wait to test them myself!"
Good essential oils dont come cheap often huge quantities of the plant are
needed to get a tiny amount of essential oil. There are various processes to
extract the oils from the plant. Distillation, expression and solvent extraction are
the main methods. Each of these methods has different subgroups again. This all
sounds very technical but sometimes it is important to know which method was
used because, in some cases, it changes the properties of the oil.
The most modern method of solvent extraction is using CO2 (carbon dioxide)
which is great because it leaves no chemical residue in the oil or environment
and does not heat the oil. However, it is an expensive method and very small
operators cannot afford it.
(Charly says ) "So this means that if we find essential oils that are extracted
using CO2, we should expect a higher price, but know they are a quality product
Before you go ahead using these amazing oils, there are a few very important
things you need to know:
Never use an essential oil straight out of the bottle and put it onto your skin.
(they need to be blended with a carrier oil). A carrier oil is anything like
almond oil, olive oil, sesame oil or wheatgerm oil.
Do not use essential oils on babies under 12 months. With children under 6
you still need to be very careful. Put a drop of oil on their sheets, pillow case
or clothing rather than getting it in direct contact with their body. Do not
apply peppermint oil near the neck or throat area of a child under 6.
Do not use essential oils without qualified advice if you are pregnant, suffer
from high blood pressure, epilepsy or have any other health problems.
Some sources recommend completely avoiding the use of essential oils
while pregnant. We tend to agree.
Dont touch the oils and then the area around your eyes or your contact
lenses. Did you ever cut chillies and then accidentally rub your eyes?
Some oils are phototoxic they create a reaction when the sun shines on
your skin ugly brown discoloured blotches or a bad rash could be the end
result (sometimes those changes are permanent). These oils also make
your skin more sensitive to the sun you burn quicker than usual. These
effects can last for at least 12 hours after you applied anything containing
these oils to your skin.
To avoid this effect on your skin, these are the oils to watch out for: angelica
root, bergamot (unless it is specified as "bergaptene-free"), bitter orange
(cold pressed), cumin, dill, ginger, grapefruit, lemon, lemon (cold pressed as
well as distilled), lemon verbena, lime (cold pressed as well as distilled),
orange, mandarin, tangerine (cold pressed), yuzu (Japanese citrus fruit)
Step 3 choose how you are going to use the oils and get the necessary
tools
Now lets have some fun. There are an amazing number of ways you can use
your oils, here are some examples:
Shower Wash yourself first, then add a maximum of 4 drops of essential oil to
your wet washer or sponge and rub briskly all over your body and inhale the
lovely scent.
Massage or body oil mix a maximum of 1 drop of essential oil into 2 ml (approx
40 drops) of carrier oil. Only mix enough oil for 1 massage. The choice of your
carrier oil will depend on what you want to achieve. Some oils are light and get
absorbed into your skin fairly quickly, others are very sticky. They all have
healing properties as well. Go to your kitchen cupboard and have a look you
might find something suitable.
(Charly asks) "Connie, what do you use as a Carrier Oil? I like olive oil and
almond oil for my massage oils."
I also love almond oil and Jojoba, which is an amazing substance. The other one
that is really great is coconut oil (the organic version in a glass jar that is sold for
cooking). It is solid when it is cooler but becomes liquid at body temperature. It
soaks into your skin and you can mix a small quantity of coconut oil with a couple
of drops of an essential oil.
For children above 6 years of age and elderly people use half the dose of
essential oil only 25 drops of essential oils to 100ml of base oil.
Oil burner or scented candles to freshen up your room, office, shop, restaurant
your customers will be happy a shame we cant stream fragrances out of our
websites yet!
(Charly says ) "I love oil burners and scented candles. I really like the idea of
the electric oil burners though, no exposed flames near my paper work!"
I fully agree the electric burners dont get very hot and I have to admit, I dont
know how often my electric burner has burnt dry and stayed that way for hours .
The best thing is, it hasnt caused a fire and it is still working after many years.
Tissue or handkerchief just put 1 drop of essential oil and take a whiff
whenever you need to.
Light bulb 1-2 drops maximum on a cold bulb (make sure the oil does not run
down into the fitting - it is flammable), then turn the light on. There are rings you
We hope we were able to at least entice you to consider using some of these
amazing essential oils. Want to know more? Go to

(Charly says ) "I have always loved aromatherapy and using the scents to set
the atmosphere I need to succeed! Ive even converted my family to it now the
discussion is not IF we will put an oil on, but which one." Connie shares a lot
more of her wisdom in our recording on how you can use Essential Oils and
aromatherapy.

Notes
What actions will you take today?
You first must choose your niche. This comes from looking at what you are
passionate about, what life experiences or careers you have been involved in
during your life, as well as what will be economically feasible. By looking at these
three areas you will find a market of people who are anxious to purchase
information, products and services from you in an area that you are
knowledgeable about and truly love.
The 5 prongs are the areas where you will focus your time and energy so that
your business can grow as rapidly as possible. You must treat your online
business like a real business, which means that you will make a schedule and
follow through in all areas. Make sure your family knows that you are working
during specific hours and not to interrupt you unless it is truly an emergency. This
will make all of the difference if you intend to create an online empire.
Writing and marketing articles on a regular basis will build your credibility in your
niche. I have written more than 860 articles during the past year and a half and
see how powerful they have been. More than 190,000 people from around the
world have read these articles, turning them from readers into prospects and
finally, into clients.
Prong 2 Blogging
Blogging builds your visibility in your niche. Consider your blog to be your home
on the internet. I use my blog as my primary site, rather than a traditional
website. People know they can come to my blog and find out the latest
information that will help them in their online business and also to leave
comments and questions about what they are working on.
When you first start blogging, I recommend something I call power blogging.
This means that you will post to your blog once a day, every single day, for the
first six to eight weeks. This will give you a boost in the search engines for your
keywords and also get you into the habit of writing fresh new content every single
day.
I still post to my blog about five times a week and use the opt-in form in the upper
right-hand corner to collect names and emails to add to my list. I also announce
my weekly teleseminars, my upcoming courses and any other affiliate programs
that I am currently promoting.
Social networking gives you exposure to people you want to connect with online.
With several hundred different social media sites available on the internet, there
just isnt time to be everywhere. The two sites I visit daily are Facebook and
Twitter. These are the sites that make the best use of my time. On Facebook I
have my own group, as well as a secret group for whom I mentor, where we
exchange information and ideas, almost like a membership site. I am also a
member of about thirty other groups where I stop by regularly to see what they
are doing and to write on their wall. Facebook is also where I announce my
Twitter has become my favourite social networking site. I have just started a new
practice of tweeting one of my articles every single day. Since you can only
send out a tweet that is 140 characters long, it takes at least twelve to fifteen
tweets to get my article out there, but I have found this an excellent way to
repurpose my content.
When people hear your voice they very quickly begin to trust you and the
information you are providing to them. I began holding regular free weekly
teleseminars more than a year ago and find this to be the very best way to get to
know my prospects.
Taking advantage of internet radio also connects you with people in your niche
that you can interview and who will want to interview you. Many times people will
come up to me at a live event and tell me they recognized my voice before they
saw that it was me. Both of these methods are excellent to let people hear what
you have to say.
Until you have your own product to sell online, you cannot complete the steps
necessary to build your online empire. Even though you can do quite well as an
affiliate, promoting other peoples products and services, it is a product of your
own that will give you the freedom to take your business to the next level.
Be sure to create the most excellent product you can so that your clients will feel
like they made a wise decision to purchase. Stay in touch with them after they
buy to allow them to ask questions, get more information and purchase more
products from you as you continue to build your inventory. Your goal is to turn
each buyer into a raving fan.

What actions will you take today?
Practising Generosity
Generosity can create the spiritual as well as personal, an ability to change and
regenerate. When one commences to consciously practise generosity, it is vital
to remember that it is not really about giving more money, or even more time, it is
about being more generous with one self towards others, including those who
criticize you or are threatened even, by your changing. The clearer you are when
communicating, the easier it is for others to understand and let go of any residual
prejudices or nagging reservations.
The generous response to positive support and responses received is, simply to
be grateful.
Time is the most precious gift. Time can actually slow and expand if you know
where you are to share it. You may know how much time to give or to whom you
will give, but you also have to know where you are to practise your generosity.
Have you ever noticed that when a friend or even a stranger, gives freely of
their time when you may really just need an ear to listen, is really one of the
most precious gifts on this Earth!! When you know where you are to give,
When it comes to personal relationships, you can give someone money, but it is
not the same as relating. To relate, you give of yourself, you appreciate and
value and understand someone else. Every spiritual law is about visible bonds,
but this one especially so. I have a couple of very close friends amongst my
circle who have been such a great example of real support and generosity, and I
can tell that they truly enjoy giving from the heart. Their friendship is so precious
to me and I will always feel privileged just to know them and spend some time
with them.
Giving time, as an art of right living, actually requires more discernment than
giving money. When time is given, it is not just an hour or two, or an evening at a
shelter, or a chat on the phone; generous people offer their heart and their gifts to
regenerate others. We need to remember ourselves too as we need to give
ourselves as much love and support that we give to others!
Generosity depends on the practice of virtue and there are three reasons why:
First, as a form of wisdom generosity is realized only in action. It gains its
strength through constancy and not by being learned as a theory. One needs to
pause to be clear about personal motives and discern how ones choices serve
others and express love. This orientation to others is the core of generosity.
Second, as generosity will challenge the easy comforts and assumptions
considered normal by the status quo, it is essential to prepare for criticism. There
are downsides, risks and undersides to all choices. However, with virtue, it is
possible to develop a foundation for standing on principle and daring an
unconventional approach to lifes problems. Lets not kid ourselves,
practising generosity is often criticized or unwelcome. Ive certainly experienced
it several times in the corporate world and its disconcerting to say the least.
Sometimes, by being generous and happy, people mistrust you which is always
so alarming and disappointing!
St. Francis of Assisi taught, Those who possess one virtue will possess all the
others, provided that they do not harm any of them. A person who hurts one of
the virtues offends all of them and does not possess any of them.
Ten virtues that when practised and nurtured, inspire and give form to the art of
generosity. Those wonderful virtues are:
Courage Reliability
Humility Trust
Discernment Hope
Compassion Remembering
Mercy Balance
We always remember those people who have and continue to treat us well and it
means so much. Interpersonal competence comes from within. Build
relationships and treat people well because its the right thing to do not
because you have something to gain from it. People can spot a phony a mile
away.
Work hard at relating well with all kinds of people. People who are
different from you might make you feel uncomfortable at first. However,
they also have the potential for teaching you something you didnt know. I
have experienced this countless times in my life and am always grateful
for being fairly open minded.
Listen well and demonstrate your understanding others points of view.
Ask questions if you dont understand; paraphrase (repeat your
understanding) to ensure you got it right. I find that with the various
generations and such a global communication now with different accents,
etc. it always behooves one to have the person repeat the message for
either reason.
Be a consensus builder. If you focus on where you agree with another
person, youll find that it will be easier to resolve differences and come to
agreement.
Learn how to relate to all kinds of people. Focus on building mutually
beneficial relationships.
Put others at ease. Be diplomatic and tactful and whenever possible and
appropriate, bring some humour in to the exchange.
Be warm, pleasant and gracious, and sensitive to the interpersonal needs
and anxieties of others.
We all laugh in the same way and it gives everyone a chance to unite and share.
Laughter is a mechanism by which one can influence the emotions of another
and we all know how well it can save the day by slicing through the air that
could be cut with a knife, as it certainly knows how to combat tension!
Humour mitigates the effects of stress against our moods etc. With laughter
there can be a change or decrease in adrenaline and cortisol and is definitely an
upregulator. Laughter can actually help an individual get well in the disease
process. It has been said that if you laugh, you dont fall ill. That may be an
exaggeration, however, the immune system can be regulated in something as
simple as laughter! When even hearing laughter and others around us laughing,
we experience a bit of a positive effect.
I loved a short story that I read recently about a 92-year old woman who has
always loved making people laugh and said that she hoped she would always be
able to make others laugh and laugh at herself. I would venture to guess this
woman has seldom had a negative thought and has far better than average
health!

What actions will you take today?
Happily fulfilling one's life purpose brings immense happiness, which in turn
leads to robust health and physical wellbeing.
Does your life's purpose seem to be eluding you? Not sure what your "Life
Purpose" is? Well, you have just found it!
You may be saying to yourself right now: "Yeah, right! How can that be? I've
been searching for my life purpose all this time and here's this crazy loony telling
me I just found it!", Fair enough. Let me explain.
The thing about our life's purpose is that we tend to overcomplicate it. We think
that if it is not mystical and amazing, it can't possibly be it. However, I'd like to
pose a question to you. What do you think is the purpose of your life?
If we 'zero base' it, which simply means make it *v-e-r-y* plain and simple-deep
down inside, you feel happiest when you are living in unison with the natural laws
of the universe (pure physics, mind you). The natural laws, one of which is the
law of service illustrates the point well. The grand aim for us in this life is spiritual
progression (even if at first we don't recognize it). The way we go about it in our
day to day is also simple. In order to continue the experience we need to keep
ourselves alive. In order for that to happen we need to work to feed ourselves
and being on purpose whilst we do that means being happy whilst adding value
and solving other people's 'urgent problems'. Whether you clean houses for a
living or run multi-national corporations, you are on purpose when each day you
are happy and can't wait to start your day because it is another opportunity to
positively touch someone else's life in a positive way--adding value to them.
Precessional Effect
Precession is the consequential aspect of our activity - the result of our actions.
When looking for your life purpose you only need to concern yourself with
answering yes to 3 simple questions.
The precessional effect you have on this world doesn't require outward material
success and recognition although you may certainly desire it and
(consequentially) receive itwhat it does however require is that you go about
the business of your heart, diligently.
Whether or not you answer yes to the questions above, fundamentally you are
already fulfilling your life's purpose. However the ideal is for you to be able to
answer YES and joyfully fulfill that purpose. However, be sure to be realistic
about it, just because you answer yes to the above questions it does not mean
you are going to be 100% happy with your activity 100% of the time. The key is to
honour yourself and start making changes (first within yourself) that will
accommodate a circumstantial change in direction for you.
Here are a couple of ways to help you get started in joyfully fulfilling your life
purpose:
First you need to assess where you are and where you want to be. Get really
clear about the simple things in your activities that make you happy in your life
and that add value to other people. And start doing more of those, applying
leverage wherever possible. There are many processes to help you with this:
keeping a diary and writing down your thoughts, meditation, emotional freedom
technique and even prayer are some of the ways to gain clarity.
Playing on your strengths is going to be the one thing that will make you happiest
and most successful in adding value to yourself and others. Any professional
athlete will tell you that they work to bring their weaknesses to competency level,
but their greatest focus and diligence is to further develop their strengths!
If you hate somethingstop doing it. Get educated, get creative and start doing
what you love. Life is too short to be miserable. However, take RESPONSIBILITY
for your actions and be smart about your change in focus and remember as the
great motivator Zig Ziglar says "You can have everything in life you want as long
as you will help enough other people get what they want!"
Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote: "Theres nothing capricious in nature, and the
implanting of a desire indicates that its gratification is in the constitution of the
creature that feels it". In short you wouldn't have a desire unless you were
capable of its achievement. Believe in yourself and break through your fears.
Persist
One thing about life is that your commitment will be consistently and sometimes
seemingly, aggressively tested. Be ready for this. Just because you are 'on
purpose' does not mean it is going to be easy all of the time - we have a lot to
learn! Too many say they 'want' and they 'will', but too few 'get' and 'do'not
because they can't but because they DESISTtoo often just when they are
about to get the desired result. Don't let that happen to you, believe in yourself.
Replace negative thoughts with a new mantra: "No matter how bad it is or how
hard it gets, I AM GOING TO MAKE IT!"

Weight
Consciousness - How
to be Your Perfect
Weight
Have you ever lost weight only to find that down the track you have put it all back
on again and some? You had it all together when you lost the weight so how
did this happen?
Fundamentally you were only working on the symptoms of your weight gain not
the cause! It is no different to any other issue where the body is out of alignment,
there are the symptoms that we can see the runny nose, the skin rash, the
excess weight yet we know that the runny nose is being caused by something
else, the skin rash has erupted due to another influence yet many times we
only focus on the symptoms and treat them, then wonder why the problem keeps
coming back or never quite resolves itself!!
Welcome to the world of weight struggles, the I am trying to lose weight, the Ill
lose weight when., Once x is over/resolved I will be able to lose weight
WRONG!! Unless you resolve the underlying issues that are driving you to be
the weight you are, then I am sorry to tell you the weight problem will not be
resolved permanently.
I have to focus on being fully alive, awake, present, and engaged, connected in
every area of my life. Right now.
What I've learned this year is that my weight issue isn't about eating less or
working out harder, or even about a malfunctioning thyroid. It's about my life
being out of balance, with too much work and not enough play, not enough time
to calm down. I let the well run dry.
Here's another thing this past year has been trying to teach me: I don't have a
weight problemI have a self-care problem that manifests through weight. As my
friend Marianne Williamson shared with me, "Your overweight self doesn't stand
before you craving food. She's craving love." Falling off the wagon isn't a weight
issue; it's a love issue.
Did you hear what she just said? It is not about her eating or working out for
Oprah the issues she has identified for herself are about self care and love. What
are your issues? Lets explore these.
Set your intention now for what you wish to get out of this process and set your
intention for your own personal Weight Consciousness journey. The more
important something is to you, the more likely it will happen. Ask yourself how
important is it to achieve your weight goal, and to achieve it now. What is it that
you actually want to achieve right now, not in five years time but now?
For example, my clear intention is to lose weight easily and simply surrounded by
supportive encouraging people. I easily see what I need to clear or change and
am able to assimilate and integrate any insights quickly. My journey is safe and
effortless; my skin is smooth and clear.
I easily choose the right foods to nourish and nurture my body and soul. I am
energetic and inspired. I inspire others around me with my achievements. My
journey is filled with fun and laughter.
Now write your intention. Write down everything you can think of, do not skimp
on yourself and have faith.
You may have some beliefs running that will get in your way even before you
start, review the following list and see if anything resonates with you, if so you will
need to clear this before you can move forward.
Is this causing a stress? Is your mind chatter already telling you that this is
impossible? Or, that it is not possible until, by, before. or it is not possible
ever?
Can you see now why you may be finding the permanent solution elusive?
Your mind and your beliefs are amazingly powerful and can trip you up if you do
not take the time to identify the beliefs that are running your success and then
clearing and changing them.
Take the time to clear the past and the issues that have got you to here. Your
weight is a reaction, a response to something in your consciousness, through this
process you can learn to love everything that has happened to you and to learn
from each experience.
The key to your weight loss and never having a weight issue again is to allow
your body the environment where the perfect program for you is activated rather
than the current program. Work with your body not against it. The goal is to
return your body to the place where it is safer for you to be your perfect weight
than to be the weight you are now. When your body is in harmony weight loss will
become automatic - easy and inevitable.
You are an individual and your journey will be very different from the next
persons, so be sure to honour where you are at. The path will come from within
you, not from outside of yourself. Your weight has happened for a reason, life is
perfect, all is meant to be and your life is as it should be. Let go of any
attachment you may have to how you think it should be and work with what is
presented to you.
Your world, your current reality is telling you what you need to know and
what you need to clear to achieve your goal.
Whatever is around you is a reflection of you, see this as a blessing and use the
insights to move forward. Look at your life NOW, use the gift of what is
happening in your life right now. Who is being attracted into your life and what
experiences are you bringing into your life? List these down as they are a great
source of insight and information.
Are you doing things to stay fat? There are reasons and benefits for staying
where you are currently. Explore what is going on for you and allow yourself to
gain insights that will enable you to move out of this place.
Are you habitually afraid to move forward to the life and the body of your dreams
and your desires?
What are the things that you are currently doing habitually that are undermining
your weight goals?
I am ________________________________________________
And ________________________________________________
And sometimes _______________________________________
And the things I dont really want to see in myself that I am doing are
________________________________________________________________
So you have now cleared a path to move forward, yet there can still be some
hesitation. So whilst you may believe that you are ready to move on you may
also believe that you are not. This can be a time of Yes I am ready to move
forward to my perfect weight as well as No I am not ready to move forward to
my perfect weight.
You must clear these tug-of-war situations that are going on in your body
otherwise you will keep reverting back to issues that you thought you had
cleared. Look at beliefs like the following.
Maintaining focus is about staying on track in the easiest possible way and
making life easy for you. What is the easiest way for you to move forward?
Where will you get the quickest wins, the easiest success? How will you support
yourself daily to achieve your dreams?
As your life changes you will need to keep revisiting what is the right thing for
you, as you evolve and change so do your challenges and issues, so do not take
your eye off the ball, re-focus, re-group and re-develop new foundations - new
intentions, decisions, goals and commitments to them.
Support Yourself
Lighten up, have lots of fun and laugh more. Schedule this into your day.
Go as far as you can with what you know. You will not always be able to
see the path ahead. Set the process and trust that you will achieve your
goals.
Jump and grow your wings on the way down. Go for the ultimate life you
desire and see where the journey takes you.

Notes
What actions will you take today?
Have you ever let go of it all? The most remarkable things can happen when you
surrender completely.
Letting go and trusting in the universe is probably the all time greatest challenge
anyone can face. Walking in the dark with total blind faith, not knowing where the
next safe footing will be, afraid that the unknown will unveil more than we can
take.
One of my first experiences of consciously handing it all over to the universe was
in 1980. I was in a job recruiting disk drive engineers in Silicon Valley and was
failing miserably. Luckily for me, one day after work when I was meditating in the
local meditation center, I opened my eyes, and glanced upon a sign on the
bulletin board that advertised a success seminar called Yes To Success to be
held in San Francisco the following weekend. All circuits firing, I knew that
somehow the answer to my prayers had everything to do with taking that
seminar.
My intuition couldnt have been more on! Not only did I take the seminar, but I
eventually persuaded the seminar leader, a vivacious and passionate woman
named Debra Poneman, to hire me. As luck would have it, Debra was going on
her U.S. speaking tour at the same time I was to arrive in Los Angeles where her
company was located and she needed someone to housesit. She said I could
stay in her apartment, study her success tapes while she was gone and when
she returned, I could start my illustrious career, uplifting and speaking to
hundreds of people all over the world.
Two weeks later, after Debra and I finalized our plans, I said goodbye to all of my
friends at the recruiting firm, packed my bags, filled my vintage red Toyota up
Two miles into my journey my little red Toyota started sputtering and spurting.
Steam started rising up over the front of my car from inside the hood and as I
was pulling over to the side of the freeway to see what was going on, my trusty
little red car took one big breath, let out the most God awful sound and died.
Horrified, I just sat there frozen by the side of the freeway, stunned at what had
just happened.
After the initial shock of losing my beloved Toyota, I came up with an alternate
plan to take a train down to Los Angeles. After paying the tow truck to tow my
car, buying my train ticket to Los Angeles, and then taking a long taxi ride to
Debras apartment in Santa Monica, to my dismay and alarm, I arrived at Debras
door with $13.00 to my name.
Frozen with fear that Debra wouldnt hire me to go out and teach other people
her success principles if she knew I was completely broke, I said nothing while
we were together and kept a sunny smile on my face until Debra finally waved
good-bye to me.
Now what am I going to do? I thought to myself. Feeling totally weighed down
by the fact that I hardly had enough money to last me more than a few days, I
went to Debras refrigerator and scooped myself a huge serving of her chocolate
ice cream. After eating almost the whole gallon, I laid down on her couch and
fell into a drunken chocolate sleep.
When I awoke I decided there was only one option when things got this bad.
I grabbed the keys to Debras blue chevy which she had said I could borrow for
emergencies and headed down the Coast Highway with a renewed sense of
hope. I knew my poverty state would soon be over.
Reaching into my purse I pulled out my treasured, crisp one dollar bills and
stuffed all $13.00 into a little wooden donation box that was located in the
garden.
After a little while, I walked back to Debras car, knowing that letting go of all the
money I had left in the world absolutely had to be the best thing I could have ever
done. I didnt know why I felt that way, but I did.
I headed back to Debras apartment and the minute I walked in, the phone rang.
Hello I said.
Patrick was my ex-husbands father whom I totally loved and hadnt heard from in
over a year.
Hi Patrick, its so nice to hear from you, how did you find me? I asked.
After we chatted on the phone for some time, he invited me to meet him for lunch
at a nearby restaurant.
Patrick was unbelievably animated and talking 100 miles a minute. He had just
started selling a natural weight loss program he was really excited about. He put
four bottles of the stuff on the table and said this was just the beginning for me.
Janet he said. I think this is something you could really make a lot of money on
in your spare time if you wanted to.
Patrick still had that same sparkle in his eyes I had always loved and when he
spoke about the products he had set down before me, I couldnt help but start to
feel excited about it too.
The opportunity sounds great I said. How about when I have some extra
money, Ill order some from you?
I dont think you should wait that long Patrick said to me smiling.
You can have these bottles on the table and the $500.00 worth as well. Pay me
back after you sell it and make some money for yourself.
Just as he handed over the four bottles our very overweight waitress walked up
to our table and said to me,
Whats that?
I told her everything I could remember that Patrick had just told me about the
products.
Ill take everything you have! and she immediately whipped out a $100.00 bill
from her apron, grabbed the bottles and walked away.
This experience was a profound lesson for me. One which Ive remembered often
during the twenty-six years since these events took place.
We are always taken care of. Donating my last $13.00 was my way of
surrendering to that force which is always looking after us. I learned that all thats
required of me is to let go of my agenda, and surrender to Gods will for me.
When we do that, the result is always better than what we could have come up
with on our own.

What actions will you take today?
This experience became a key metaphor. What can we learn from it? Struggling
is a contradiction to lifes flow. Focus needs stillness.
Start to perceive how your mind actually works. When you find yourself
dwelling on a problem, struggling in circles for a solution, trying to figure out how
to reach your desired goal, or focussing on something unwanted, use this to
observe your mind.
The rational mind keeps you in the trance of your memory, and its
projection onto the canvas of your outside reality. It is this trance,
unawareness that disconnects you from the source. To awaken, the first step is
objective observation. As soon as you become aware of how your mind works,
you have created a space between you and your thinking mind. Without this
space, you cannot control your life because your mind controls you. Controlling
your life means to control your mind.
So, when you catch yourself having fallen unconscious again stop moving in
your mind, defocus and observe your thoughts. Simply observe, and do not
change anything. This will lead you to the awareness that in truth your rational
mind knows nothing and that you are not your mind. Knowing nothing means
freedom: every moment is completely new, has never been before and will never
be again, every moment is unique, and it is impossible to know anything about it.
It is the assuming, speculating, defining, limiting monkey-minds noise that
disconnects the awareness from the source that constantly flows into the NOW.
Your source, your true eternal being, is stillness. Stillness is awareness,
awareness of the Now. Awareness of the Now is the access-point of universal
information.
While you observe your mind, you now become aware effortlessly, of those
unquestioned convictions and thought habits. Now extend your awareness
into your body sensations: which emotions are tied up with your thoughts, where
in your body do you sense them? Simply observe and do not judge anything.
Dont try to fix or change anything. Simply accept everything as it is. Also, do not
name or define it. Just observe your emotions that are there now, and the
sensations in your body. Relax and observe. Acknowledge the wholeness of
what is now. By observing and accepting you embrace your emotions with
acceptance, which means, you lovingly acknowledge your being the way you are
in this present moment.
That is what your blocking emotions want; just being acknowledged in the light of
your consciousness. It is an act of self-love, and in the sun of your loving
acceptance, they can melt away. It is important not to define anything, so, you cut
the tie between thought and emotion. Observing the emotional sensation as what
it is, you will notice, that it is just energy. Observing puts it back into the flow. Just
like you would do, if you sit on the shore of a flowing river, observing the water
flowing, observing the weed and clutter you wont jump into the river, you wont
try to dig the weed out or get caught in analysing where the clutter comes from
and why it is there or how terrible it looks like. You simply sit and observe and
allow the flow.
To help you release, you can gently place your hand on the area where you
sense the blockage and observe how your hand feels like on your body.
Just observe and allow.
Its the same with the mind. For an effective focus the mind needs to be relaxed.
Imagine you drive from A to B. You just know that you will arrive at B and before
you started and during your drive, you are effortlessly focused on B. At the same
you are aware of the present moment and the road before you. It is effortless.
Thats exactly what focus really means. It is not a desperate or stressful
concentration or visualization. It is rather your consciousness bundled into a laser
beam embracing your goal while fading out everything that is not in alignment
with your goal, and at the same being completely aware of the very moment of
Now.
You keep your desired goal in your relaxed vision, while you are aware of your
source in the Now, and it is in this Now where you get signs, hunches, ideas, new

It cannot be denied that fame and fortune go hand in hand. So how are you
leveraging your talents when it comes to marketing your business?
Public speaking is one of the fastest ways to grow a business, and certainly to
add a significant amount to your bottom line. Using the simple formula outlined
below we have been able to go from business startup to revenue of over $450K
in three months. So I believe this system is one of the quickest ways to boost
your business profit.
However, it is not just a case of standing in front of a group and having a yarn.
There are some basic principles you must take into account before you can be
sure that speaking is the right strategy for your business.
I call them The Four P's of Successful Presenting:
Passion
If you don't believe in what you're talking about, you shouldn't be talking about it!
Your audience is not dumb, and will see right through you if you are not being
authentic. Speak about topics that you are passionate about. Therefore, if you
are tired of your business and no longer inspired by it, putting yourself out there
and running presentations is not such a good idea- you might just get found out.
People
Whats more, the topic of your presentation must be something that other people
are passionate about. These people become your target market. If you're the

Next, we have to make some money. Having something to sell is necessary to
monetizing a successful speaking business. If you already have a business
selling products and services, you are at an advantage. All you need to do is put
together a killer presentation to inspire people to buy from you.

Guide To Goal
Achievement & The
Law Of Attraction
You may feel you have a good grasp of the Law of Attraction, you take action and
yet achieving your hearts desire may be slower than you want. Why is that? Is it
you? Are you missing something? Or is this Law of Attraction just another pipe
dream?
You probably know the Law Of Attraction (LOA) experts say that it is crucial to be
in vibrational resonance with what you want to achieve and that you should not
focus on the HOW but just the WHAT of what you want. So now you are really
confused! Isnt Goal setting and LOA mutually exclusive?
The truth is that Goal Achievement and the LOA work very well together if goal
setting is done effectively. In fact, goal achievement observes the Law of
Attraction and is dependent on it.
After extensive coaching and research with numerous clients, I found that when
you dont achieve that which you set out to do, without exception, one, or all, of
these 3 elements are true:
Looking at it in a different way, it follows that by ensuring that you satisfy these 3
elements you will achieve your goals.
Every Time:
This is it. Yes, it is this simple, but remember you must understand and apply
these in order to have success.
Getting Crystal Clear about What you Want is the 1st Principle in
Goal Achievement
Getting crystal clear about what you want is not only about making a list of what
you want but also getting to the Essence of what you want. Think back to
childhood -- you know that time in your life before you did not know that you were
not supposed to know how to do something. Remember that time before well
meaning parents and role models infused you with patterns and beliefs that they
themselves got from their parents and role models. And theres no blame here
it is what it is.
Think of that time in your life when anything and everything you imagined was
possible. Yeah, that time when pretend was the same as real (hint: your
subconscious mind still cant tell the difference). It was so simple, wasnt it? You
I know that you may be saying: Yeah, thats great! But that was thenthings
were simple and uncomplicated and playing pretend was not the same serious
business that I have to contend with today. Today, I have to make a living,
provide for myself and my family. I cant play roles on stages. Theyll come and
reposes my car, throw me out of my house, take my furniture away for Gods
sake
So, now perhaps you are thinking, What the heck is Essence? You know
because Ive heard about this stuff before and I think this is another way of
saying visualization and.... I am not that visual!
You should know this is not just about visualization. It is ok if you are not visual
because the process for getting to the essence of what you want (and I will go
over what essence means a bit later), works whether you are able to see the
things you want in your minds eye, or you think about these things or if you
simply feel things. It doesnt matter how you do it!
This process works, every time. Best of all it is simple. Keep It Simple
Sweetheart (KISS). You are all for that, arent you? And it will work for you just
like it works for me and every single one of my clients.
Now you may be thinking, Boy Joanne, I dont know if I know what I want yet,
but I sure know what I dont want!
Exactly, most of us have an easier time with what we dont want. So lets start
there. In fact, heres something you can do right now to start this process. I am
going to give you 4 simple steps to start the process of clearly determining what
you want. So please do these steps:
Step 1 Write down what you Dont Want. Make a list of the things you Dont
Want. This could be a list pertaining to a particular issue you are working on. or it
could be several things you know you dont want. For example, lets say that
what you dont want is, to work with un-cooperative co-workers.
Step 3 Look at your list of Dont Wants and now turn this list into Do Wants.
So, from our example I want to work with cooperative and supportive co-
workers. Excellent, continue doing this for all of your Dont Wants.
Step 4 Just like you did for your Dont Wants now look at your list of Do
Wants and write down WHY you want this. Heres where we get to the
Esssence I spoke about earlier. The essence is ... how this makes you feel. So
from our example, I want to feel excited and enthusiastic about working with
my co-workers or I want to feel joyful, supported and valued by my co-
workers.
It only takes 5-10 minutes, once you get used to this process. There is a part b
to step 4. Please dont skip this part b! Look at your Do Wants and the WHYs or
Essence of your Do Wants, and write a little scenario/script of what it is like once
this you accomplish this goal.
Let me give you an example from the scenario we used before It could go
something like this:
I arrive at my office and I am greeted by the smiling faces and warm hellos of
my co-workers. I exchange a few pleasant words with them and then go right into
discussing our latest project. I am excited about our work and share my
thoughts about how we might tackle some of the challenges we are facing vis a
vis our low sales volumes. Together with them I look at the pros and cons,
discuss them and then agree a few steps we can each take to move forward. We
value each others opinion and I feel that I am part of a powerful, united force. I
am full of expectation and know that we can resolve our issue by applying the
principles in Joes direct sales marketing plan.
Now you see how I did that? I combined the Do Wants with the Essence of what
I want. I used the essence of feeling warm and excited and feeling powerful and
united and valued etc... You want to put as many specifics as you can in terms of
these wants and their essence. The clearer you are about what the outcome
looks, feels, seems the better!
Getting clear about what you want is just the 1st ingredient. This principle alone
will not be enough to help you achieve your goals. You must also take action.
Now, I know that you can look at Amazon and find many books written about
having a plan and Im sure that you have even heard many coaches and self
development experts say things like If you dont have a plan, you plan to fail
and so on.
You can spend weeks and months reading up on this stuff and trying to make
sense of it all and still be none the wiser. I know, I have read a number of these
books and listened to a lot of the Gurus talk about plans and planning and at the
end I felt the same way that some of my clients felt. OVERWHELMED - about the
sheer volume of information about these plans.
Even those of you who may have started despite feeling overwhelmed may find,
a lot of times, that your plans were too big and that perhaps you missed breaking
them down into small actionable steps. You may have had a plan for a goal that
was really several goals expressed as one.
If you dont take baby steps and you dont break down your goals into actionable
steps, you are right back to OVERWHELMED.
The items in red below should not be part of action 1. These extra items make
completing tasks unmanageable and measuring your progress difficult.
Remember that you do not want to get overwhelmed by all the actions and feel
like you are not making any progress. If you do, you are very likely to abandon
your plan.
This is an important point that often confuses. So, I want to address it straight
away. It might be easiest to use an analogy of a plane flying from, London to
Chicago.
In our example we know that the plane has a desired outcome. Its desired
outcome is to get to Chicago. So this is a plan.
Of course, we know that there are a number of actions steps that need to happen
before the plane sets off. For instance, check of all instruments, fuel check and
fill, interior cleaning, assembly and assignment of flight crew etc you get the
point. These are manageable action steps.
Lets assume that the plane got to the takeoff action step and has taken off and is
now en-route to Chicago following its flight plan. Can you, you tell me about what
% of the time you think the plane is on course? What % of time is a plane,
following its predetermined flight path, actually on course its path?
You may think the plane is on course 98-99% of the time. I thought so too,
because it makes sense. Normally I get on a plane and I expect to get to my
destination and, so far, I have every single time! In reality, a plane is actually on
course closer to 1% of the time.
The plane still gets to its final destination with the help of the on board
instruments and the pilots who keep making in-flight adjustments for the various
weather conditions encountered en-route. Actually, when you think about it, it
isnt all that surprising. Weve all experienced turbulence or strong
winds/currents while flying, yet we still expect to achieve our goal of reaching the
final destination.
I hope it is pretty clear that if we left it at just writing down our wants and made no
plans, and took no action, we wouldnt get off the ground. Alternatively, if we did
get off the ground but rigidly stuck to only one way of getting to the final
destination that wouldnt work either. In our plane example, if the pilots insisted
on only flying straight, no in-flight adjustments, then we would get massive delays
and loads of frustration, to say the least.
You may have encountered some exterior obstacles or maybe even some interior
obstacles like fear or limiting beliefs such as: Im not good enough to do this.
or I dont deserve this. or this is too easy, I never get to have it this easy. I
always have to work hard for what I have! Or, you simply dont know why you
cant move forward on certain actions. Sound familiar? When this happens, the
natural response is to get disillusioned and disappointed.
See if you agree with this approach. When you hit an obstacle, the best way to
handle it is to ignore the problem and stop altogether. Pretending that the issues
dont exist might make them go away. Right?
Have you ever experienced that by ignoring a problem you solve it? I sure
havent! Usually things get worse when you do nothing to address and resolve an
issue. One thing is for certain, the issues do not get better.
If you want to continue moving forward, you need to address these fears, this
little voice in your mind that passes judgment or evaluates the viability of what
you have set out to accomplish.
There are various tools and methods developed specifically for the purpose of
overcoming your inner obstacles, fears or limiting beliefs. I have tried a few and
report that each has its benefits. At the end of the day, it is your personal choice
which one you use.
Staying true to my nature of keeping things simple and delivering on the promise
that I make to my clients of only recommending methods and tools that I have
To give just a brief overview, the Emotional Freedom Techniques are based on
ancient principles of acupuncture, and are simple tapping procedures that gently
re-align the bodys energy system without the discomfort of needles. EFT
address unresolved emotional issues as a likely cause of physical disease,
psychological dysfunction and personal performance limits.
Gary Craig (the creator of EFT) points out that the theory behind EFT is that
negative emotions are caused by disturbances in the body's energy field and by
tapping on the meridians while thinking of a negative emotion or event alters the
body's energy field, restoring it to "balance". The best part is EFT is that they
work whether you believe it does or not. I cant say that about most other
techniques.
Since we know the Law of Attraction states that we attract to us experiences that
are a vibrational match to the thoughts and feelings we are sending out into the
universe, how we feel is particularly important. How we feel is an indication of
the direction in which we are pointed.
Very simply, good feelings are attracting more positive experiences. Feelings of
tension, fear or anger attract more of the same, even if you dont actually want
that.
If you are using some of these principles but not all three, then heres your
chance to try it and be amazed by the results you get. After all, If you are not
clear about what you want and why, you dont have an actionable plan and you
dont address and remove the obstacles that stop you from moving forward you
wont move forward!
Go ahead, apply these 3 principles together you will get the results you desire!
3. Identify 1 action per day you will take (each day) for
the next 30 days. Please do this for 30 days at a time,
even if you are tempted to map out the whole 90
days.

Letting Go of
Your old Stuff
to Attract Good
into Your Life
People in balanced and harmonious surroundings are much happier. They are
more efficient and productive. They understand more easily and learn faster.
They feel in control. They enjoy life, themselves, and whatever they do. They
respond to healing processes better. They are more open to new possibilities;
they heal faster and stay that way.
Then you may need to consider that clutter in your life includes looking at
unnecessary behaviors, objects, people and events.
How many extra steps are you taking while you do things just because you
assumed that it is the right way to do it?
How many objects are stored mostly in the attic, basement, storage facilities, or
in the garage and have no value or function in your current life?
Do you have people in your life that are very negative and you feel depressed,
less productive and upset when in their presence?
And how often do you have an overload of activities and events to attend?
All of this is a form of clutter taking up energy, time and space in your life and
causing lots of stress. But once you release, let go of your stuff, you may find you
feel so much lighter as if a weight of stuff was taken off your shoulders.
A very proven, effective method to help in this release process is EFT. Now you
can successfully use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to unblock, and
uncover the underlying challenge. EFT is an easily learned, painless, and drug
free method (similar to acupuncture, but without the needles) that addresses the
emotional roadblocks to attracting good in all areas of life. When the core cause
behind the procrastination is realized it will be much easier to create a solution, or
tactic. And if there are emotions and blockages attached to the procrastinating
behavior, EFT will create amazing results with the end result being an elimination
of guilt, gained clarity, and motivation to take positive action.
When going through old boxes of stuff, EFT is a very fast and amazing method to
uncover the cause of the problems that are currently present in our lives. Get rid
of the physical clutter, and get rid of the emotional clutter. "Old clutter" mostly

Changing Your
Identity . . . or Not?
You wouldnt be reading this if you didnt desire a larger, more fabulous life. And
youre no doubt going after it in this way and that.
But are you ready, really, really ready to change your identity? To see yourself in
a new, more successful, more attractive, more loved kind of way?
Larger Success always comes with a price, even a loss. Because you have to,
You absolutely must give up who youve known yourself to be (or at least some
part of you) in order to become someone new.
That means youll necessarily change how others see you and relate to you. It
means youll have to change the actual quality of your current relationships.
Sometimes youll hesitate, not quite sure of your footing in this new land, when
before you knew every square inch of the turf youd walked so many thousands
of times.
To start, notice who will be there for you cheering you on as you cross the river
from your old life onto the fertile soil of your new life, your new identity.
Take a moment right now and think about those people who are really in support
of you, really in support of you being all you can be. See them there?
Then pay very close attention to the specifics of this new life of yours - the one
youve been dreaming of and yearning for.
Again, open your imagination and see yourself living the details of this new life,
living the every day activities that you desire. Notice how you feel as you picture
yourself living in your new freedom, your new success.
So now what is that first step that will begin to take you into this new life you
desire?
Take some time to write about it, to talk with friends about it, until you are certain
what that step is. And, if youre ready, with our support and those who are there
to cheer you on as you move into your new life -
What do you need to do to take that first step, that all important first step that will
move you - even just a tiny bit - beyond the life youve been living and begin to
deliver you to into your new future?
Because when you know, really know - get ready. For you are about to change
your identity!

A Return To Love
The Key To It All
I cant do that!
I am not good enough!
Im not lovable
What will others say?
I am too fat
I . Can you relate?????
The other thing that has come to my attention is the fear around cancer. Cancer
has reached epidemic proportions. What people do not seem to realize is that it
is this fear around it that is responsible for a lot of deaths. This fear has been
deeply embedded into us, through programming. Cancer is only a label. It is your
bodys way of getting your attention, to tell you that changes need to be made,
because you have not been listening. It is the same with any so-called dis-ease
or illness.
For example, if you take a look at people lifestyles in general today, you have to
agree that they are not balanced. People in general have lost touch with
themselves, who they are and what life is really about. We are not robots and yet
if you were to watch, you would see that the majority of the population is running
around like one. Our bodies are walking miracles, genetically pre programmed to
heal themselves. However they need some requirements in order to do so, rest
being one of them. Human beings are the only creatures that do not have
balance, do not take time to properly rest and recharge like the rest of nature.
However, from my experience I feel that there is one factor that is even more
essential to our bodies healing themselves, and that is self love. Again we are
heavily programmed to have low self worth, even self hatred. There is a saying
nothing suppresses the immune system like self hatred. Having been there
myself, I know the truth of this. People with low self-worth, give their power
away, relying on others for approval and acceptance. They are constantly
judging themselves and others. They constantly worry and complain. This has a
big impact on a persons health and energy. How many people do you know who
are like this? You just have to listen to peoples conversations in general to
realize how many people have low self worth. Dr Dean Ornish, an American
cardiologist, says in his book Love & Survival that people with low self worth,
that cannot let love in, are 4-5 times more likely to die from premature death!!!!
And yet if you stop and reflect on things, you will see how ridiculous this is. As
the saying goes, we are born in the image of God. Not just spiritual, also in
the physical form. The bodies we have are perfect and beautiful as they are. We
are perfect and beautiful as we are. We are a unique aspect of God or Source
energy in human form. Hello, what does that tell you!!!!!! You are perfect the
way you are right now and do not have to prove anything to anyone!!!
Every single one of us has gifts and talents waiting to be discovered and used.
Every single one of us has the ability to live life with joy and love. Every single
one of us has a unique genetic make up, so it is impossible to look like anyone
else.
It is through deeply embedded belief systems that we feel we are not good
enough as we are, and adopt crazy beliefs like, if we have the so-called right
kind of body, then maybe we would be good enough. So we start messing with
our bodies. And start a vicious cycle that doesnt work as you probably know.
Look at these statistics:
This is crazy and it is time for this to stop. It is time to see the truth and set your
Self free. It is time to open your heart ladies and let that love in!!!
You set yourself free by learning to love and honour yourself exactly as
you are. Become your best friend instead of your worst enemy!!!
A lot easier said than done I know. However, I also know that it can be done, for
I am proof. Only then can one truly love another unconditionally and secondly,
honour and accept others as they are. Whenever you judge another, it is a
reflection of how you feel about yourself. For your outer world reflects your inner
world.
The key lies in awareness and living in the present moment. It means retraining
yourself to stop thinking about your body. As the energy group Abraham shared,
If you could never again think about your body, and instead, just think
pleasant thoughts your body would reclaim its place of well-being. Again
I know easier said than done. With practice though you can do it. Every time
you catch yourself thinking about your body or talking about it, stop. Shift your
attention to something else. This is how you break the patterns. This will take
time as the beliefs we carry have been with us for a long time. So be gentle and
patient with yourself. As said, the key is awareness.
For many generations women have had to rely on their bodies and looks. In
some cases, women were literally thrown by the wayside once their looks faded
or they werent the right size. Take the movie The Devil Wears Prada. What a
perfect example, highlighting clearly the mad world we live in. Things are
changing though. We are in the process of a huge transformation where
humanity is waking up to the truth. Balance, equality, freedom is coming.
Your thoughts and feelings about yourself affect the bodys immune system. If
you love and accept yourself, you feel vibrant, alive and this boosts it. If you are
constantly criticizing yourself, you feel heavy, lethargic, depressed, and this
suppresses your immune system. The movie What The Bleep shows clearly how
our thoughts and feelings about ourselves affect us. Remember it is important to
keep in mind, our belief systems have been with us for a long time and so it will
take a little time to change them. Again be patient and gentle with yourself. The
key here is to just observe, without judgment. The more aware you become, the
faster things change.
Congratulate yourself often, give yourself credit for what you do each day.
And this is not ego. This is essential to build your self worth.
You are a part of the universe; therefore, love is also your natural way. It is the
core of your being and as you use the tools above and your awareness
increases, you will realize this. By setting yourself free, the love that you are,

What actions will you take today?
Would you like to have a workforce driving traffic to your online business or
selling your products but not have to worry about employing them, paying
holidays or super, supplying them with a workplace, equipment or in fact never
even having to meet them? This is affiliate marketing.
So what is affiliate marketing? And how can you apply the principles to
enhance your business or life?
Affiliate marketing is simply a pay for performance referral system. If you have
products to sell and want to use affiliate marketing to increase your sales you are
called the merchant. You pay affiliate marketers for sales they generate. The
If you would like to generate an income from affiliate marketing you are known as
the affiliate. Your job is to promote products for merchants. You do not physically
touch the product, package it, or place the orders. You get paid for simply
referring a buyer. You will receive commission for any sales generated for the
merchant.
Sales, leads or clicks to and from your website are traced via tracking codes.
The easiest way to get started in affiliate marketing is by becoming registered
with an affiliate network, there are three leading networks in Australia.
If you want to join as a merchant and increase product sales: Your aim is to have
as many affiliates as possible promoting your business, more affiliates equals
more links to your website, which equals more visitors and more sales. The main
factors that will attract affiliate marketers are:
The commission youre paying. The more money a marketer can earn the
harder they are going to work to sell your products.
Your sites conversion rate ie the ratio of visitors to buyers on your site.
Your site needs to sell. A marketer will not continue to promote your
business if they refer thousands of people but no-one buys. They need to
earn money for all their hard work.
The range of banners or text links you have on offer. Marketers will be
looking to fill spots of various dimensions in their newsletters and on their
websites so provide a range of shapes and sizes. Also provide a range of
colours, static and animated banners.
When you join an affiliate network as a merchant include a detailed
description of your business and what you sell. The affiliate marketer may
want to write a small editorial and the easier you make it for them, the
more promotion you are likely to get.
Using affiliate marketing either as a merchant, affiliate or both can enhance your
business and your life. Putting you on the path to financial freedom and the life
you desire.

Create the
Outrageously Healthy
YOU for Life!
How would you like to feel Outrageously Healthy every single day of your life? If
you are living any life other than the Outrageously Healthy Life you deserve, then
youre in the right place.
Hi my name is Lenore Miller and it has been my privilege to work with more than
1500 women in the past few years through my fitness studio, assisting them to
create the outrageously healthy life they desire.
The other side of this discussion, is the many women I have met who have
achieved their ideal weight or size, but are still not happy with who they are or
how they feel. The reality is they were really looking for what they thought being
their ideal weight would give them. Usually what they want is to feel happy,
energetic, vibrant; they want to feel Outrageously Healthy!
So why when they get to their desired size or weight are they still not satisfied?
Why do they then go on to want to adjust other things about themselves the
shape of their bottom, arms or nose? What they want is not really about their
weight, or size, what they eat or even how often they exercise. Its about the
quality of their life; how they feel every day when they wake up and then every
second of that day - its about how they feel in their own skin. If you spend all day
thinking about all the ways youre not perfect, then youll never feel outrageously
Will you need to take some action - absolutely - but once you stop focusing on all
that is wrong with you and focus on feeling outrageously healthy, making steps
toward the outrageously healthy you and the life you deserve is easy!
Wouldnt it be great to feel outrageously healthy today and everyday of your life?
I bet the minute you read that question all kinds of thoughts flowed for you of
course I do but So what came after that but? Whats holding you back?
Make a list of all of the things that come up for you when you ask this question, or
the things you see as reasons you cant possibly feel outrageously healthy right
NOW! Go on write down your list; no-ones watching and you dont have to share
it if you dont want to!
What did you come up with Im overweight, I smoke, I have no energy, I dont
exercise, everyone in my family suffers from I am sure the reasons are as
many and varied as the wonderful people reading this e-book. And you know
none of this has anything to do with feeling outrageously healthy, because feeling
outrageously healthy is a state of mind, not a state of body.
Why did we need to start more than once? Why wasnt the first time the solution
that got us to our goal? I have an idea why all these Monday starts havent gotten
us to where we want to be.
Guess what happens - you sometimes slip up then what do you do? How do you
feel? I bet you feel really awful; maybe even thinking, oh no Ive failed again.
And then what do you do? Slide back into the old habit again and feel even
worse. Thats right, isnt it?
Todays the day that is all going to change. Today you get new understanding
and new tools to ensure you have the outrageously healthy life you deserve.
Did you know that your conscious mind is only 1/6 of your total capacity, and the
remainder (5/6) is your unconscious mind? So when we decide that Monday is
that day we are using our willpower - in our conscious mind - we are only using
1/6 of our total capacity. The thing about our conscious mind is that it can only
do so much at one time before it starts dropping balls and becoming overloaded.
However our unconscious mind has a huge capacity. It does all those
unconscious things like breathe for us, beat our heart, digest our food and not
just that - it stores all kinds of information, in fact everything you have ever
learned, heard, seen, thought or felt is stored in your body as part of your
unconscious mind.
Have you ever had the experience of remembering an event or person that you
havent thought of consciously for years, but suddenly it or they are there front of
mind? Where was that information before it came to your conscious mind?
Stored in your very own advanced computer back-up system - your unconscious
mind - ready for retrieval.
Some of this information is really old and way past its use-by-date. Maybe it
served you at some time in your life, much like the belief that youre a 10-year-old
child that served you when you were 10, but would it serve you to believe that
now? Maybe food always makes you feel safe or loved, and this may have
helped a troubled child cope, but does it serve you now to hold on to that belief
and continue to act it out? We have so many things stored in our unconscious
that we are not consciously aware of, which we still play out in our lives today,
creating results or outcomes we dont consciously desire. Once we become
aware of these patterns, beliefs or behaviours then we can change them to a new
pattern, belief or behavior to get us the life we want and deserve.
So stop feeling bad about your current state and get excited, because an
outrageously healthy life is yours for the living.
What happens when we start on Monday and by Wednesday we are totally off
our desired path? You now know there is something else going on, something
thats getting in your way, holding you back from moving forward on your goal -
something that is stored in your unconscious mind. How useful would it be to
remove that old information thats holding you back? Even better - to replace it
with something else; something empowering that will propel you forward into the
outrageously healthy life you deserve. Here taking the steps towards those health
and fitness goals becomes easy and just part of the way you live your life.
This is the business of getting your conscious and unconscious mind working
together and moving in the same direction.
So first lets get you in the right state of mind to begin. Do you have pieces of
music that when you listen to them elicit a specific emotion in you maybe its
joy, love or nostalgia for another time? Maybe its the music you use on your
iPod when you exercise to make you feel energetic, or the music you play when
you want to relax.
The gift I have for you today will allow you to feel outrageously healthy, energetic
and positive any time you desire - in an instant. How useful would that be? All
you have to do is download the FREE MP3 Feeling Great for No Good Reason
The next thing I am going to suggest you do is a writing exercise. I want you to
write the story of what your life looks like as an Outrageously Healthy YOU! I
want you to do it in full sensory detail. Let me explain - I want you to use your
senses in the story:
what do you see - how do you look, whats happening in your life, what are
you doing?
what do you hear - what are others saying to you, what are you saying to
yourself, is there a sound track to your outrageously healthy life?
what do you feel how does outrageously healthy feel to you, are you
energetic, ecstatic, peaceful, happy? You get the idea.
Use as much detail as possible and cover every area of your life. What are your
relationships like - with your partner, children, extended family, friends, work
colleagues? How does being outrageously healthy affect your career, your
finances, your leisure time, the clothes you wear or the things you do on holiday?
Go on juice it right up - its your Outrageously Healthy Life, and it all starts
TODAY!
Next Steps
If you have done the exercises in the chapter and listened to Feeling Great for No
Good Reason then youve taken some great first steps to creating the

both easy and effortless.

This is one area that people often neglect as they diligently focus on everything
else. Yet its true, your environment truly can hold you back. It can either support
you, helping you move forward and achieve your goals with ease, or it can
sabotage your efforts, keeping you stuck and bringing up obstacles for you in
your life.
Here Im going to cover 3 main areas for you to focus your attention on. If you
address just these 3 things in your home, you maybe amazed at the positive
change that can happen.
The front door is where energy enters into your home. In Feng Shui, it is also the
symbolic point for opportunities to come to you in life. You want energy to enter
into your home and you want that energy to be positive and healthy. You also
want it to circulate freely in your home, neither moving too fast nor too slowly
which Ill address in a little bit.
This means that everything about your front entrance should be good. It should
be easy to find if you gave me directions to your home could I find it easily? Is
the house number clearly visible? Once I arrive there, is it obvious where I enter?
If the entrance to your house is tucked around to the side or if you have more
Once I do get to your front door, how welcoming and inviting is it? Youll want to
make sure that landscaping is well cared for, that there is something that
welcomes people to your home such as a small table and chairs on the porch,
flowers or plants, a welcome mat, a wreath on the door, etc. Its helpful to have
some red by your front door. Painting your front door red can be a good thing to
do, but if this is not possible or desirable, simply having some red by your front
door can be a very good thing. This is because red is a high energy color and it
helps to bring vibrant, positive energy to your door. You can have red flowers or
some red in your welcome mat and so on.
Make sure the doorbell works if you have one, or if you dont there must be some
other way for people to let you know they are at your door. Have a greeter at
your door. This could be a beautiful plant or a statue of some kind (for example,
an angel or an animal or Buddha).
Your front door should open easily if it sticks or is blocked in any way from
opening fully (such as things stored behind it) you may find yourself feeling stuck
in life with opportunities passing you by.
When working to enhance your front entrance, think of it this way when your
entrance is welcoming and inviting, youre inviting not only people to your home,
but also good energy and opportunities to come to you in life.
Your Bedroom
If the front door is the most important part of your home, the most important room
is your bedroom. Your bedroom is the room thats closest to you and has the
biggest impact on you. If you want to bring about positive change in your life then
start with your bedroom.
First of all, you should love your bedroom. It should feel like your personal
sanctuary. Clear any clutter from the room. In particular, do not store anything
underneath the bed doing so creates stagnant energy which can affect you as
you sleep, resulting in health issues. Do you love your furniture? Choose furniture
that you love and that makes you feel good.
Its best if your bed is made of wood, rather than metal. If you have a headboard
it should be solid no railings or bars. The headboard represents the support you
have in life you want to have solid support. If you have an open headboard with
bars or railings see if you can put something behind it or use some fabric. You
could use a board that is covered with some nice fabric.
Make sure you have a nightstand on each side of the bed. They should be the
same size and have the same things on it so if you have a lamp on one, youll
want a lamp on the other as well.
Your bed should be in the command position. This simply means that you can
see the door when you are sitting or lying in bed. The bed will be in a part of the
room farthest away from the door, but should be facing towards the door, with a
wall behind you. It should not be directly in line with the door remember that
energy enters through the doors and you dont want to block it by having your
bed there.
If you cannot place your bed in the command position and you find that you have
your back to the door, simply hang a mirror on the wall so that as you sit or lie in
bed you can look in the mirror and see the door behind you.
If you have or want a relationship, the color scheme in your bedroom should be
predominantly warm colors. Cool colors (such as blue, green, white, etc.) can
create a cooling of communication, a drifting apart in your relationship.
Use calm, peaceful colors nothing too bright. Also use artwork that is
appropriate (nothing too active or loud). You want this room to feel calm, peaceful
and romantic. So ideally this would mean no television, exercise equipment,
computers, etc. in the room. If you MUST have a television in the room put it in a
cabinet so you can close the doors when its not in use and when you go to
sleep. Otherwise, find a nice throw or scarf to cover it at night.
If you have lots of mirrors in your bedroom and you have difficulty sleeping, try
covering the mirrors at night. This will calm the room down and people very often
find that this helps them sleep.
Make sure that you only have things in your bedroom that you love, that it
represents you and you feel really good there. This helps your energy
tremendously and will help all aspects of your life improve.
Clutter
We all know that clutter is bad but it can easily become overwhelming so that we
dont have the time, motivation or energy to deal with it. If you are feeling tired,
Everything has energy. Also think of your possessions as being alive with your
memories and associations. Everything you own is connected to you
energetically and emotionally. This means that when you have an accumulation
of clutter things that you dont need, use, want or love, it literally drains your
energy. Also, when your home is filled with things that you dont use or want, it
means that your life is full and overwhelming. Theres no room for anything new
to come into your life.
If clutter is a big issue for you, I highly recommend getting started by working with
a professional organizer. There are many of them around and it shouldnt be hard
to find one in your area. If this doesnt feel like something you can do but you
dont know where or how to get started yourself, try getting started with one thing
right now, go and find one thing that you can throw away or give away. Do this
every day, just find one thing and take action with it throw or give it away. Or,
you can put together a box of things that you will sell but you must take action
with them. Either put them on e-bay or set a date for a garage sale. Youll find
that if you get rid of one thing every day the energy will start to clear, youll start
to feel better and things will start to move for you, without it being or feeling
overwhelming.
If you address these 3 areas within your home your front door, your bedroom
and deal with the clutter you will find that you feel better, more positive and
peaceful and that life starts to flow much more smoothly. Opportunities will
appear out of the blue. Who would have thought that you could achieve so much
by changing a few things in your home?

How To Attract
Clients To Your
Virtual Assistant
Business
To succeed, sooner or later, a business owner has to delegate. Often, its far
more cost-effective to outsource to a Virtual Assistant rather than employ
someone in the traditional sense of the word. A VA works from their own office,
usually at home, with multiple clients, assisting them with tasks that can be done
remotely. The internet has allowed this business model to evolve into the exciting
opportunity it is today. Here are some of the tasks that a VA can help with:
Transcription
Data entry
Writing
Organizing events and meetings
Editing and proofreading
Setting up blogs
Submitting articles
Creating products e.g. ebooks, audio, video
Running membership sites
When using a VA, clients are only paying for actual work done. There are no
additional costs such as sick pay, holiday pay, insurance, retirement benefits etc.
In recent months, the media has turned its attention to the Virtual Assistant
opportunity. Becoming a Virtual Assistant is very exciting right now, as many
businesses are looking to outsource the tasks they dont have time for, to willing
and capable VAs.
First of all, you need to really think about what you want for your VA business.
Because if you dont really know what kind of services you want to offer, and with
whom you want to work, your business will be without direction, and youll find it
hard to get clients.
Lets talk about the Law Of Attraction (LOA) for a moment - a very popular topic
these days. The LOA is universal and works in any situation. The key is knowing
exactly what you want, because unless you know exactly what you want, the
universe will not deliver it. If you have unfocused thought, then you will attract
unfocused results.
As is true in life, if you are unsure of your destination, then you will simply never
get there. You will never reach your goal until it is specific, positive and affirmed
in the present tense.
So, what do you want as a Virtual Assistant? What kind of clients do you want to
attract, what kind of work do you want to do, what kind of relationship will you
have with your clients, how much will you earn? How many billable hours will you
work each week? What will it FEEL like sitting in front of your computer, working
from home, with a full day ahead of you, exactly how you want it?
If you know what you want, youll start to attract those things into your life.
Opportunities will present themselves to you, and because you know exactly
At first, I didnt really know what I wanted. I just wanted to work at home with
pretty much any client that came along. And so, I found myself with an odd
assortment of clients, some of whom I didnt really enjoy working with.
Others panned out really well, so I began to visualize getting more clients like
these and being quite specific about it. I took appropriate actions to get those
clients and I immediately recognised when suitable ones came along.
It really worked!
You can apply this on a daily basis and make it part of your everyday thought
process. Every morning, before you start your day, set your intentions for your
Virtual Assistant business - not only for what you want in a months time, but
what you want for that day. Each day must include specific actions to attain your
ideal life.
Once you have these things formulated in your mind, youll find it much easier to
stay focused in spite of distractions. This is an excellent way to attract your ideal
Virtual Assistant business, by constantly thinking of your grand vision and
working towards it.
As for the specific marketing strategies that will actually land you your ideal
clients, remember that you can use a mixture of online AND offline techniques to
get all the clients you could wish for.
Online marketing strategies include having your own website and networking on
Facebook, Linkedin and small business forums. Offline strategies include
networking at your local Chamber of Commerce and business networking groups
such as Business Network International, and volunteering in your local
community.
Consistent thought and action is key. Start today, and in a years time you will be
enjoying the fruits of positive intention and focused action.

Debbie's Story
Debbie was the Director of her own computer company, employing four staff.
Debbie had a hectic lifestyle. She worked long hours, had three children and a
husband to organise. On top of all that she was in the middle of a major
renovation of her own home. As if she didnt have enough to , Debbie was also
studying for a Bachelor of Computer Science!
Here was a situation where she had overburdened herself unnecessarily. She
had far too much going on in her life and something was about snap!
Debbie was unable to sleep properly with all the worry and strain of juggling
everything and had neglected her own self in the process. She looked tired and
haggard when I first met her. She was 15 kg overweight and looked at least 10
years older than she really was. She had lost touch with what was really
important to her. Debbie was trying to be superwoman!
She had taken on far too much and was forced to review her lifestyle (or lack of
it) or she would either have a nervous breakdown or die in the process.
In working with my clients I always get them to write down all the activities and
responsibilities they are currently involved in, both at work and home.
By writing them down you can clearly see what is really important and what isn't.
You can also see where you fill up your day with unnecessary activity.
With Debbie there were many areas where she could free up her time to give her
the time for herself as the number one priority and get some sanity back into her
life.
Within four weeks you could see the change in Debbie. She was more
confident now that she had taken control of her situation. Her life was getting
back on track!
It's really easy not to invest money in yourself. Do you spend money on your car,
your computer, your business, your home and other 'things' in your life? Are you
not worthy enough to invest in yourself? Is the price you pay for neglecting
yourself really worth it?
What can you defer, delete or delegate so that you can have more time for living
your life?

You dont ask the guy to marry you on the first date; do you? So why then, do we
expect our prospects to say yes the first time we meet them?
Dating
Marketing is like dating. If you want to close the customer, you have to flirt with
them a little. You have to give them a reason to be attracted to you. Think about
when you went on a first date. You wore your red lippy, sexy perfume, you looked
hot, you listened intently, you laughed at their bad jokes and then low and behold
he asked you on another date. Well, marketing is just the same. If youre
wondering why you are not attracting your ideal client and closing the sale, then
you might not be flirting enough!
Marketing Strategy
Many businesses fail to consider where the client might be at in the sales
process. Some people are quick decision makers, but only some. Most people
need to have a few points of contact before theyll buy anything let alone your
major product or service. If they dont have any options other than a $3000
product, chances are they wont buy from you.
Julia is a business coach who when we first met, was surprised that she
wasnt closing many clients for her business mentoring program valued at
$2997. It was a great program that supported the client ongoing for a period of
three months. It had all sorts of bonuses and I could see the value in it.
However, Julia wasnt offering anything else other than this program. What
she failed to see was that people needed to trust her and connect with her
before they would hand over a large sum of money like that. What she needed
was a marketing strategy which I call The Marketing Funnel.
Marketing Funnel
A Marketing Funnel is a series of options that allows your customer to be
seduced by you in a way that is easy and comfortable for them to accept. It gives
them the opportunity to sit back and decide if they like what they see. This forms
the basis for your marketing strategy and it looks like this
Your marketing tactics are the things you do to attract your target market. They
will be article writing, blogging, speaking, newsletters, networking, advertising,
mail drops, strategic alliances, competitions, directories, referral systems, build
your database etc. etc. etc.
Step 2. Irresistible Offer You need their number if you want a first date!
Once they are attracted to you they will want to see more. Before you can ask
them on a date you need their phone number; right? Offer them something that is
so attractive that theyll whip out their pen and jot down those precious details!
The offer might be an e-book, an audio or both. It might be a copy of this book
you are reading right now. Whatever it is, make sure its enticing enough so they
will be happy to give you their phone number and email address!
Now that you have their details, you can directly market to them via your regular
newsletter. This essentially, is your first date. Its your chance to showcase who
you are, your services, your style, your look and feel of your business. But
beware; dont go straight for the sale. Always give them something of value
before you show them all your wears!
Here is your chance for the first kiss. Now that theyve been reminded of you,
they are more likely to buy from you. Give them an option of a few products that
range between $20 and $50. Better yet, make it a downloadable product they can
buy and get instantly. This will leave them with a nice taste in their mouth and a
reminder of how sweet you are!
Once you have had your first date, it will only be a matter of time before you go
on a second and third date. This can only lead to an engagement! Offer products
that are priced at different levels but lead them further towards your bigger pricing
item. You might offer them a workshop, a home study program, or a mentoring
program. Create something that suits your market and leads to an engagement!
Once you have developed a relationship and they keep coming back for more,
the wedding is a given. They are regularly connected with you via your newsletter
and other points of contact. They trust you and know that you offer a high quality
service. So picture this when they are ready for your ultimate service or
product, who do you think they will buy it from? They wont go anywhere else.
Theyve already invested so much in their relationship with you that you are now
the only option. You have successfully put all the elements in place for an I do.
Remember, everybody has different buying strategies. Some are quick decision
makers, some take a little while and others need a lot of time and trust before
they will buy. By installing a system like this you will be certain that you can
attract your target market and ultimately get that yes.

The only difference is that I teach parents how to toilet train their children in just
one day and how to get the little ones into bed happily and quickly and in a loving
way.
In my early life if you had told me I was going to be a successful marketer and
mother I would have given you the big No Way and crossed my arms. I didnt
even know I would be a mum until my late 30s. And thats because I became
very clucky.
Up until then I had had considerable work experience in office work, secretarial
skills, running an office and managing activities for teenagers in a drop in centre.
I then became very New Age and learnt new age methods of counselling and
communicating skills.
A year later I was introduced to my method of toilet training which took only one
day. This was so impressive to all my friends with children that they were asking
how to do it for themselves.
So that led to me thinking I could write a book about my parenting ideas and
skills and pass them onto other mums. I really did love what I was doing. I
started in sections and before the book was finished I came across internet
marketing. And that was the beginning of my business.
Instead of finishing one book I created four different parenting packages and
used the internet techniques of marketing and promoting and my business took
off.
If you have a hobby, an interest, something that you love doing and are really
good at, maybe youd like to use your skills to develop a product, such as an e-
book, a CD, a home study course or more.
My life has become much more fulfilled and interesting due to my day to day
contact with the people who need my advice, or just to tell me their success
stories. Internet marketers and members of Wonderful Web Women have
become close friends and advisers and I give thanks every day for these people
who are now in my life and that I am able to share something that I truly love
doing.
So dont put it off, take some positive action, think of those ideas and start today.

When you speak in public, you are a visual example of the result of using your
product or service. If the way you dress is in harmony with this, then the Law of
Attraction is at its most powerful. The audience will feel a connection to you. They
will also feel safe starting to build a relationship with you. And they have an
emotional reason to buy from you.
Its a courageous act to speak on a stage and reveal who you really are to an
audience of strangers. So here are three action steps and one bonus to help you
be the best and most confident YOU possible. The first two steps relate to your
audience and the third relates to you.
If you have never spoken to this group before, a pre-visit will help you
check out how the members dress.
Dress like someone they can aspire to without being too far above them.
There are now more solo entrepreneurs and they are discarding the corporate
suit and dressing in a more relaxed business style. It is important to know how to
dress to appeal to this target market. If you are not sure how to do this well,
consult an Image Coach.
2. Check out the Venue so You Stand Out from the Background
This is the one I find that many speakers overlook.
Ask the Organiser about the background colours of the room where you
will be speaking.
Find out the colours of the walls and the background curtains, the height of the
stage and what the lighting is like. Many groups meet in rooms that are also used
for entertainment and you may be standing in front of dark curtains as well as in
the shadows under poor lighting.
You do not want to blend into the background. I have been in venues where the
walls or curtains behind the speaker have been brown, yellow and even green.
Many speakers who are not aware of the background colours and lighting have
turned up in either a matching wall or curtain colour or colours that are low
contrast (eg black and plum or any two colours that are very dark). I have seen
speakers who have literally disappeared because of the colours they have worn.
A better option is to wear two colours that are a medium contrast (ie a lighter or
brighter coloured top with dark coloured skirt or pants). This appeals to most
people as they can see your face and you look more enthusiastic. A medium
contrast appeals to everybody.
Natural Extroverts and some people with skin colouring that aligns with certain
colour seasons feel very comfortable wearing high contrast colours. If this is you,
On your pre-visit or when you arrive to speak, check the lighting so you
stand where the audience can see you clearly.
Check where the President or the MC stands and note whether you can see their
facial expressions. Use this as a guide for the best place for you to present your
talk.
A word of advice for those who look good in slim fitting skirts.
From experience I have learnt that if you look good in a slim skirt, it is best to
wear one with some stretch in it as some venues have steep steps or no steps up
to their stage.
When you ask these questions, you appear very professional. The Law of
Attraction is working in your favour as word spreads about your attitude and
commitment to your audience.
Its a combination of dressing for the parts of your body that you like (Yes!
You do have good body bits) and dressing for your personality.
When you show your true personality through your clothes and accessories, you
are revealing your courage. You are daring to be yourself rather than dressing in
the safe, conservative style of everyone else. It is important to understand the
three elements that make up your personality and wear clothes and accessories
that are in harmony with these elements. Have a look in your wardrobe. The
clothes that you dont wear are either the ones that dont reflect your personality
or you have lots of clothes that show only one side of your personality. Consult
an Image Coach if you need help with this as it will do wonders for your
confidence and sales.
What women call female intuition and men call gut feeling is you believing your
eyes before your ears. Your eyes take in messages from the way the speaker
dresses and their body language. So dress confidently and let the audience see
all your facial expressions. Those who will be your potential clients can then
decide whether they trust you enough to buy from you or start a business
relationship with you.

YOU, go to my website listed in About the Author and click on the Tips Library

Bonus Tip
When you provide a jpeg image for promotion, make sure it is a current image
that brings light to your face and shows something of your personality.
People buy YOU first. So show them who you are, dress to give them something
to aspire to and be surprised by who and what you attract.

Notes
What actions will you take today?
A Rich Life
Ask yourself, how will your life change for the better? As you move through fear
what accomplishments will you achieve? To ignore, even procrastinate with your
dreams and desires can hold you back as you may be short changing your life.
How do you know what your gifts are? Start by asking your friends and family
what they admire in you, and funnily enough, you may find youre not aware of
some of your natural talents. For some people being the best they can be is to
be a great Mother or Father and is reward enough, yet for others, contributing to
their community or environment enriches their soul. There are those that stand
out in leadership and create examples for the rest of the world. It doesnt matter
what it is you want to be the best at, its far more important that you believe in
yourself and try.
Its not what your dream or what you desire, rather how you allow your
dream to manifest. Limiting thought patterns are inside each person and to
become aware of what emotional issues are sabotaging your delivery of
abundance requires paying attention to dominant thoughts. If you believe that
your life is lacking in any way or that you live less than you want, these thoughts
can dominate your days and nights and you will continue to create a life of
limitation. If your mind focuses on what you dont like, what you dont want then
sub-consciously your dominant thoughts constantly attracts the very things or
situations that you dont want.
Its not easy turning your thoughts around but through persistence and daily
practice of listening in to your limiting thoughts, you can change to abundance in
a matter of weeks and months. Its like emptying a deep well of water, just when
you think its empty you find a little bit more. Remember that your limiting
thoughts have been gathering over a life time, therefore allow time and be patient
for these changes to empower your life. Students question their ability to create
abundant thoughts citing that when theyre surrounded by a society that
questions and judges, that staying on a positive thought track can be difficult.
There are many way to retrain your mind, one is to find a mentor, a spiritual
teacher who is a great guiding light when negativity and doubt reign.
Write down a list of all the dreams and goals you long for. Next to these write
how these dreams will impact your life, how they will benefit and enrich your life?
Express all your feelings and emotions, right down to how they will relieve stress
and worry. As you write your list start to become aware of any limiting thoughts
that arise in your mind. Thoughts that say, if only this were true, or why am I
doing this, these things never work for me and Ill only wish small because I
dont want to be judged as being greedy. As you hear thoughts of doubt or
limitation rising within your mind, stop writing and ask yourself this question, Why
am I restricting myself? and why do I think this way?
When you next think of a dream you really want, and then hear your mind
suggesting why it wont happen, what if you could change from limitation to
creativity of mind to hear yourself instead thinking, Im not sure how that dream
will come true, and Im not sure when it will come true but I sure want it to come
true so Im going to keep that dream alive and will think, feel and act like its
already on its way. As a spiritual teacher I encourage you to keep your dreams
alive. Never let any other person or any circumstance or situation take your
dreams away. Your responsibility is to keep a burning desire in your soul, heart
and mind. For something magic happens when you do this, you begin to work
with an energy that is all around and delivers what is called the law of
abundance.
In fact that is what most people fear. They keep a certain amount of control on
their desires because they dont trust that they will know what to do or how to
handle their request when it all comes flooding in. Its interesting that true
abundance scares people, yet they wont readily admit it. Abundance requires
trust. Not that you know for certain that you are clever enough or wise enough to
know how to handle this unlimited abundance when it arrives in your life, but that
you just know you trust yourself and that however and whenever it arrives, you
will trust the effects and how abundance changes your life.
A rich life is a full life. An abundant life is not only materialism, wealth, health and
happiness but also a life of inner peace, poise and wisdom.
Write a list of everything you want or desire. Look at your list and keep writing
until you feel youve unlocked every desire inside your heart and soul that youve
ever wanted.
Read over your list and adjust it as necessary, adding words or removing
words and creating a list that is specific. Look at your list once again, could it
be more specific? Where you have asked for something materialistic, write more
details about it, write the time frame you wish to have it by and then write what it
costs and how many you want. Remember you need to have no limits to your
desires. The law of abundance is listening, watching and waiting to deliver to you.
If you are controlling in any way you are delaying the arrival.
For example if you request a new car you need to specify the make, the colour,
the year of manufacture, the cost, the time of year and month that you want it,
where you will get it from and who will drive it. Hear your dominant thoughts as
they limit you and override yet by understanding you dont need reassurance as
to how this car arrives at your doorstep, because the law of abundance takes
care of that, you just need to keep your dream alive. As you visualise your new
car and all the details youve described, allow yourself to feel what it will be like
when you have this new car and how you will feel receiving it, driving it, being
seen driving it, how family and friends will respond and how joyous you may feel.
The next step in the law of abundance is action so do not be surprised when one
day you get the urge, the intuitive feeling that you desire to take this dream car, in
real life for a test drive. You see the law of abundance encourages that the more
a dream or desire lives as energy within you, the more you co-create it. You have
a part to play in having a rich life and that is to speak, think, walk and act like you
already have all the riches you seek.
A rich life is a life where one wants for nothing and understanding
everything is possible. Spiritually everything the heart desires, the mind
manifests and as a person is aligned with their life purpose, inner peace dwells. If
your desires are for the greater good of your life and the lives of others, then be
prepared to witness some amazing rewards take shape in your life and in the
lives of others. At no time are you to limit your dreams or goals or limit the way
you view your life for your future. I have a spiritual gift, but in no way is it different
to the gifts which lie inherent within you. The only difference between us is that I
am in touch with not only who I am, who I can be and also with where I am going.
This means I am clear about my future, my life path and infinite abundance.
When I am envisioning an abundant life for me and my family quite often I hear
my spirit, my soul intuition reminding, dream bigger. It dawns on me at these
times that human strengths are amazing and dreaming big is under stated and
under valued.
Judgement is a dangerous past time yet all too often you will judge
yourself let alone others judge you. Who are you to be brilliant? Who are you
not to be? What will people think if you living a rich life when they are still
struggling? Who are you to presume that others want what you want? What will
you say to others who choose not to open their minds and hearts to the
possibilities of greatness? Who are you to keep company with procrastination or
ignorance? Understand that others may know and thats ok. Your role is to be all
Forgive yourself that you have limited your life so far but that now you know
and understand you will give yourself permission to step forward with courage
and trust. It will feel like its on a wing and a prayer, yet the rewards for diligence
and tenacity are life turning.
Affirmations are great tools to use as they visually remind you of positive
thought principles and what dreams to keep alive. In the example of the new
car dream, a great affirmation is Im in love with my new white BMW that I own,
enjoy and share and I give thanks for this abundance in my life. Remember you
need to be specific at all times therefore when in gratitude you still need to be
specific. Other great tools are angel cards or any affirmation books that can give
you a daily message, inspiration, poetry, music, meditation CDs, similar to the
Red Rose CD that I have produced and guides you into relaxation. All these
tools support you while you are manifesting your dreams and desires. When you
fall off track and doubt creeps in, these tools remind you that you are being
guided and that abundance is your birthright.
Listen to your soul in times when you are quiet. Sit in the garden; feel the breeze
gently lifting your hair as the sun shines on your face. Remind yourself there is
more to this world than meets your eye and you are discovering, exploring and
testing this world, you call your life. Find inner peace through self trust and belief.
Know that abundance is within you and around you and through daily practice
patiently learn how to train your mind to work for you in creating the life youve
always wanted. Be at one with your heart, mind and soul and get off the round-a-

3 Key Elements
To Creating Your
Dream Lifestyle
You see, your wonderful mind your mindset will determine how far your journey
of success will take you. This relates to your health, your relationships, your
finances, or anything else. Mindset is the way you look at things and is a driving
force when it comes to creating your dream lifestyle.
Now most people don't like this concept of accepting complete responsibility for
their lives. The main reason? It's just so convenient and easy to have someone
outside of yourself to blame. Who doesnt want to pass off their failures to
someone else? Plus, it's comforting to have a scapegoat to justify past failures
and disappointments when you dont get the outcome you desired.
Some common scapegoats that easily come to mind are: parents, bosses, the
government, gender, race, age, the economy, the media, and basically anyone or
anything you feel that's preventing you from creating your dream lifestyle.
So what does it mean to take full complete responsibility for your life? First off,
you have to use your personal power to create the abundant lifestyle you desire.
Whatever your past or current circumstances, know that the past is past. You
can't go back and make changes. Guilt is a terrible way to live. As far as I know,
there's no time machine currently available to permit you to travel back in time to
correct any mistakes or to set things right. The past is the past, so make peace
with it, accept it and move on.
The only thing you can do is learn from past mistakes and chalk it up to
experience. Once you accept this fact, you are now ready to take 100%
responsibility for your life.
Stop looking to outside sources to create your success. Look inside yourself and
you'll find the answers there. Success, however you define it, is inside you, and
not external. You have everything you need now to create your dream lifestyle.
Of course, there will always be new knowledge to gain, but first appreciate that
you have everything you need right now. You just need to be willing to take
action.
Maybe this isn't the first time you've looked for a way to make money online. You
may have a bookcase full of 'shelf-help' books, CDs and DVDs. I'm sure to a
certain degree you may have tried several programs and methods that have
worked beautifully for others. You then get inspired and want to achieve similar
results. Unfortunately, you fail to get the same outcome.
You may start to wonder, "Is it just me? Am I the only one who can't make money
online"? You're not alone; many people are singing this same song. So let's look
at three key elements you can use to break through the barriers and create your
dream lifestyle.
Having a vision for yourself is what will keep you motivated. It will also get you
through the rough spots. Working at home and having a dream lifestyle is a goal
for many people. But why don't they accomplish this goal?
Entering a state of overwhelm can happen when you are unclear of your vision.
When you lose focus, you start bouncing around from goal to goal. This is what I
like to refer to as chasing bright shiny objects.
As much as you've heard about setting goals, if I were to say, I'll give you
$10,000 dollars if you can show me your written goal(s), would you be able to
walk away with an easy $10,000? If not, it's time to create a set of written goals.
Not taking time to do this can be a barrier to creating your dream lifestyle.
Consider the following section from a classic childhood story, 'Alice's Adventures
in Wonderland', by Lewis Carroll. In one part of the story, Alice comes upon a
Cheshire Cat and decides to ask his guidance on where she should go.
She approaches him and says, "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to
go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said
the Cheshire Cat. "I don't much care where" said Alice. "Then it doesn't
matter which way you go," said the Cheshire Cat. "So long as I get
SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation.
Most people live their lives just like Alice. They wander around in life wondering
how come they don't get what they want. They don't care much where they go,
as long as they go somewhere. When you fail to plan and don't know where you
want to go, then any road will take you there. Don't let life happen to you, take
control by setting written goals.
Now when it comes to what your heart desires, this can sometimes be a
challenge. Here's an exercise you can do if you're struggling with what you want.
Consider this, most people can quickly rattle off what they DONT want. If this is
your case, make a list of the things, emotions, or anything you no longer want to
experience.
Once this list is complete, go back through it and write the opposite of what you
wrote. For example, if you said, "I don't want to be poor," then the opposite of
that is, "I want to be wealthy. If you don't want to be overweight, the opposite
would be, I want to be a healthy weight.
Do this as many times as it takes. Once done, choose only one goal that makes
you the most excited. This is the one goal that you're going to be absolutely
Once you've decided on a goal, make sure to write it down and put a date on it.
A goal without a date is just a wish. For example, you can say, "On or before
February, 2010, I will earn $13,000 a month working at home, or better. Notice
how I added the words, "or better" at the end of the goal. This is so that if
something better comes along, the universe will help attract 'the better' goal to
you.
Be sure to write this goal down and keep it close to you. Place it where you will
see it often throughout the day. One thing you may want to do is have several
written copies of your goal. You may want to write this single goal on the back of
a business card and place it in your wallet. This way, when you open your wallet
throughout the day, you'll be reminded of your goal.
Also consider placing a copy on your nightstand. This way, you can review it first
thing in the morning and the last thing at night. Keep your goal as visible as
possible so you can be constantly reminded of it throughout the day. Think of a
goal as simply a dream with a deadline.
Now that you've got your written goal with a date deadline you're totally excited
about, this is where you will focus all of your energy. You'll want to have a map,
or plan, something to follow a type of methodology that you can use to make
your goal a reality.
Look to someone who is getting the result or outcome you want. Find out what
they did or are currently doing to make this happen. Consider taking them out to
lunch, or contacting them by phone. Most successful people are thrilled to share
their knowledge with you. All you have to do is ask.
Take some time putting your Plan together. You now have an exciting goal to
work on and it's time to apply laser focus. This is where you will spend your time
and energy on making your goal a reality.
Another key element to address is a lack of focus in reaching your goal. This
often leads to being overwhelmed; not knowing what steps to take next, and can
cause you to lose momentum, simply because you've become unfocused.
Make a promise to yourself that you will follow through and stay focused on your
goal. See it through to completion. Do all the steps you set out to support your
Now's here's a big factor give yourself permission to fail. What? Is that last
statement a typo? Don't you mean, give yourself permission NOT to fail? No, it's
not a typo! By giving yourself permission to fail, you create the knowledge that
the process of being focused is what will enable you to achieve this and future
goals.
During the process of achieving your goal, some common thoughts you may
encounter are, "What if it doesnt work?" "What if I can't lose the weight?" "Do I
know enough to do this, am I smart enough?" "Who do I think I am that I can
create my dream lifestyle?"
Sometimes when you're unfocused, you become disillusioned. This may cause
you to start looking for the 'next big thing'. You may even subconsciously create
anxiety for yourself. By giving yourself permission to fail, you remove the stress
and doubt that this goal has to be a complete success.
Stress and doubt can sometimes reduce your excitement and confidence in
achieving your goal, which may cause you to abandon it. When you start
experiencing these types of thoughts, it leads to self-doubt. This is the beginning
of a downward spiral. And pretty soon, you lose interest in achieving your goal.
Partial success will teach you that it is possible. And then the next time you set
out to reach your goal, the knowledge you gained will help you reach your goal.
Remain focused and stick to your plan.
Finally, you'll want to periodically review your progress. You can do this at
weekly intervals. This is basically a 'goal checkup'. You want to take notice as to
whether you're making progress or standing still. You want to see what your
outcomes are. Keep in mind you'll either do things to get you closer to your goal
or further away from your goal.
The reason I suggest doing this weekly is to take corrective action if your goal is
off course. Remain flexible. Remember the 'or better' words at the end of your
goal? This may be the time to make adjustments to get you closer to your goal,
"or better". Continue to make changes along the way until you reach your goal.
Don't think that your goal must be set in stone. Keep varying your approach until
you find what works. Don't get locked into being rigid.
Creating the lifestyle of your dreams is certainly within reach. Just follow the
three key elements outlined in this article
1. Have A Vision
2. Make A Plan
3. Notice Your Outcome
Before you know it, you'll have reached your goal and you'll have a winning
formula to achieve future goals.

Is Letting Go
Difficult?
Is it time to consider outsourcing some of your busy work to enable you to gain
some clarity and decide in which direction you want to head and to keep those
creative juices flowing and your passion for your business alive. Revisit the
original purpose and motivation that lead you to start up your own business in the
first place it probably wasnt to become so busy running the administration side
of it that it didnt leave you any time to develop your business or work on your
own personal growth.
and decide on how you are best going to break down your tasks into manageable
chunks and what tasks you would be willing to let go of first. Consider all the
tasks that you undertake at present and make a list to determine which ones you
enjoy the least and start with these. After a little while you will start to build a
relationship with the support people you have chosen and develop a level of
trust, a sense of confidence in their abilities and a sense of security in the
knowledge that your business is in capable hands. This will position you in the
right frame of mind to outsource more and more of your tasks.
This freeing up of your time will be a very liberating experience and you will
wonder why you hadnt done this before. What a great feeling it would be to be
able to go on holidays knowing that your business will be looked after (babysat)
and you wont have to work overtime to catch up or you may use the extra time to
gain new skills and become reacquainted with your friends and family.
Think how liberating it will be when you think of all those jobs that you can
outsource; accounts, diary management, correspondence, email management, e-
book creation, marketing materials, mail outs, data entry, phone answering the
list can go on and on depending on your business requirements.
Now letting go of all the personal stuff? This is too big to deal with hear, lets save
it for another story!

In our part of the world, Australia, the beginning of the year marks summer
school holidays. This is a great time to dust off the bathers and towels and jump
back into the water with your family and friends. Dont be a fish out of water
when it comes to knowing just how amazing swimming is for your mind, body and
soul.
There is a low risk of injuries because there is no stress on your bones, joints or
connective tissues.
The elderly, pregnant women and people who are covering from surgery can all
benefit from swimming due to its low impact, it helps to relax stiff muscles and
isnt weight bearing. Swimming also increases blood circulation.
Stress reduction
Swimming is very relaxing because it allows oxygen to flow to your muscles and
forces you to regulate your breathing. With the regulated breathing and rhythm
of your strokes comes the rhythm of calming the mind and things seems to get
clearer. Answers seem to come to you to those questions which have been
bugging you as you have taken the focus off the questions. Seems weird but it
works.
This form of meditation can leave you with a sense of well-being, leaving your
session refreshed and ready to go on with the rest of your day.
A reason
Personally I think you need a reason to get started. My reason initially was
asthma. My mum enrolled me in swimming lessons and then swim club to help
manage my asthma. It worked. After high school I wanted to learn to teach
swimming to help me get through University. When I was pregnant with both of
my children, I wanted to keep fit and this was the best low impact exercise. After
having my children I had problems with my lower back, I ended up having a bulge
removed from my lower disc, swimming was the best form of rehabilitation. So
I have had many reasons to get back in the pool. Now my reason is
relaxation, de-stressing, overall well being, keeping my back in check and
meeting friends. What is your reason?
Get motivated
I always find that going along to the pool with a friend or group of swimmers is
the best motivator. If you have pre-arranged a time each week you have made a
commitment to yourself and your group, this works all the time. I also find
swimming in the morning much easier as you seem to find all the excuses in the
world during the day, not to swim.
I must admit I love fashion. I like to look funky and comfortable. Go for the bright
bathers with the matching goggles, fins and cap. Colour co-ordination is vital for
your swimming confidence. Go out and spoil yourself you need to look the part (I
hope this doesnt sound too shallow?)
If you havent been in the pool for a while, one-on-one lessons will help you to get
back your confidence. Swimming is like riding a bike it is a life long skill which
will come back pretty soon. If you lack the confidence in the water and have a
childhood fear of the water, dont worry, there are heaps of fantastic adult learn to
swim programmes at your local pool, worth a look. Go for it!
If you know how to swim just start off slowly. Set a goal of the number of laps
you want to swim and then set a goal to increase the number of laps you do.
Break it up with swimming laps, kicking, pull throughs (arms only) and walking in
the water. There are heaps of programmes on the internet you can use for
FREE.
Relax
Take the time to watch others around you and see how they move through the
water and look at how much fun they are having. In no time this will be you!
3. With your friend set out your goals. How many laps
are you going to achieve this week?
My business idea came when I decided to return to swimming after a back injury.
I remember telling my husband that I was going back to swimming and with a
strange look on his face he said with a smile. Great youre going to start smelling
like chlorine again. As Oprah would say I had a light bulb moment.
I started swimming as a young child due to my asthma. Like most Aussie kids I
learnt to swim through the Austswim Program, I joined a swimming club and
whilst studying at University in Perth, WA I became an Austswim Instructor.
When I fell pregnant with my first child Riley, I took up swimming again to keep fit
and kept it up while pregnant with my second child, Sophie. When Sophie was
just 2 years of age, I competed as part of a team in the Rottnest Channel Swim in
2002. The Rottnest Swim was an amazing experience, one I will never forget.
In 2005 I injured my back and had an operation to remove a bulge in one of my
discs. After the operation I couldnt believe the instant relief I felt. Swimming was
the best rehab for me; I really wanted to get back into the water. My skin was
always dry, especially in winter. A return to swimming made my skin even drier.
I tried to find a product to moisturise my skin after a swim. Some worked for a
short period of time. Then I thought what about a product to put on my skin
before you swim, to protect it. Summersalt Body Care was born, with its first
product aptly named Swimmers Skin.

But when you get down to it, blogging is like anything else in business. You have
to focus and stay with it to make it work. You have to visualize what your life will
be like when blogging becomes the greatest tool in your traffic generation
arsenal. When you start blogging, you should blog every single day. You can
write, post a video, embed an audio, or maybe even just a picture, but you have
to be consistent to keep people coming back. And blogging can definitely work
for you, just the way it does for the pro bloggers.
How?
3. Dont sell: Unless your blog is specifically for marketing, you should never
try to sell things in your blog posts. If you're an affiliate marketer, like I am,
you can write reviews. Then, have a link to the product in your sidebar so
that when people read your review and are interested in the product,
they'll have a convenient path to it, and you make money. For example. I
wrote about AWeber once, and have a flash banner in my sidebar so that
anyone who enjoyed the review and was interested in having this great
autoresponder that I'd just mentioned, they had an immediate way to get
to it. I didnt try to sell my readers in that review. I gave the good and the
bad, and giving the downside to the product or service is important! It
makes the review balanced and people always prefer to see both sides to
any argument. If you just laud the product, people see right through your
attempt to sell then, they may be insulted and not come back.
4. Never veer off course: Dont write posts that arent about your niche. Im
not saying NEVER do it, but if you do it once a year, thats enough.
Seriously. People who are interested in reading your blog because theyre
golfers wont care about the newest Internet marketing seminar. It's just a
total disconnect for them, and may alienate them. This is something that
you have to avoid. You'll lose total credibility and probably, a few readers.
If you're in the golf niche, stick to golf. If you're in fitness, stick to that. But,
if you have built a relationship with your readers and want to mention
something personal now and then, that's OK. If you're writing about the
5. Be yourself: Always write with your own voice. Dont try to make your
grammar and punctuation perfect. Im not saying that you shouldnt spell
correctly or that your writing shouldn't make sense. I am saying that it's OK
to use one-word paragraphs or ellipses when they dont really apply or
other "mechanisms" to get your point across. Im great for doing that. But I
never wrote a book that way, but blogs require a "conversational" tone and
lots and lots of you. Write like you talk. That's the best writing and blogging
advice I can give you. Just hear it in your head and write it exactly that
way. It's the best way to communicate when you can't really talk to or see
the people you're communicating with.
If you follow these five tips, youll be well on your way to pro blogger status. Just
write with your readers in mind. What will attract them and keep them coming
back to read more? Figure that out.

How I Risked
$27,000 to Get my
Figure Back and How
you Can Succeed
too!
She Succeeds
How I applied my business success principles to finally lose 33 kilos and get my
figure back.
I Challenge Me!
Recently I was in a change room trying on some dresses when I heard a woman
ask what size the shop clothing went up to and when she was told size 14 I heard
an all too familiar disheartened sigh and a parting thank you. Just a short time
ago that was me! I could not fit into anything from a normal sized clothing shop
and it was disheartening! In 2008 I decided to step up and tackle the one thing
that eluded me and that was a trim healthy body! I had a great business, a
fantastic income and loving relationships, but I also had 30 kilos of excess fat that
I carried around with me. I was tired even though most people saw me as a high
energy achiever. What I didnt know was how good being slim would feel and so I
tricked myself into thinking life was grand and for the most part it was, except
under my clothes. Its not until you become slim that you look back at who the
world was seeing and realise that that person is not you! Not the real you! Yes
Im still the same person but at the same time Im not! Does that make sense?
To the people who have lost all their weight yes, to the people who just play at
weight loss no.
Just a short year ago I was still having those conversations, you know standing in
front of the mirror ready to go out saying how nice I look but this little voice in my
l have not weighed 57 kilos since I was 18 and so at 45 its hard to imagine that I
could even achieve it.
I had to use vision boards and other strategies to see my vision because I
couldnt get a picture of what I would look like in my mind. I have to tell you how
great it feels and the difference it makes to all that you do in your day.
Most people set themselves goals at the beginning of the New Year. The list of
goals people come up with could probably lap the world a few times over. "I will
give up smoking, I will lose weight, I will start exercising, I will, I will, I will." Then
their will fails them and they end up pretending that they never wanted it in the
first place. There is a saying, what your mind can conceive - it can achieve".
As I see it, if you werent meant to have it then you wouldnt have thought of it. All
achievements start with a thought.
Its the action that follows that makes the difference. I love the movie The
Secret but whats missing is an action plan. That's why this book title is fantastic,
The Law of Attraction in Action.
I stumbled across a new way of setting myself goals after once reading about
how goals can sometimes work against us and can trap us much like a jail if we
arent careful. You can read more about this on my website. The secret I
discovered and developed a system around is setting yourself challenges and
then daily action plans that you pursue like someone is holding your head under
water and you need to breathe! If you really want it then going after it with zero
tolerance protects you from yourself, your failing will and from others. When you
Mini Challenge!
On a serious note, if you do have weight to lose and are serious about it then go
to your local supermarket with someone you love and trust. Go to the potato
section and load up the amount of weight that your BMI or your doctor says you
should lose, not what you think you can lose but what you are supposed to lose if
you were super human and could do it.
Dont worry if you think its too much, just do it. Take those potatoes home and
put the bags on the floor in your dining room and several times a day for a week
go past and pick them all up at once. Get help!
Think about the effect this is having on your heart, your internal organs, your self
esteem, your children, your work, your love life, anything that you can think of
that it effects. Even more profound is what I did and that was to get my excess fat
in fat cut offs from the local butcher and I looked at it for a day! It is disgusting
and I dont recommend it.
The potatoes will do if you are willing to really see how much weight it is and
think of it as excess fat on your body.
I Challenge You!
I challenge you to live the most wonderfully imperfect but always growing life!
Embrace the person you are and the person you are yet to become! She is hiding
in there waiting for you to challenge her to step up and take what is rightfully
hers!
An attitude of gratitude is necessary if you are going to receive more. How can
you be ready to receive if you arent grateful for what you already have?
Come on, I challenge you to take a moment now to just feel grateful for all that
you have and all that you are yet to receive. Close your eyes for a second and
dont forget to smile while you take that moment - it adds to your bodys sense of
satisfaction plus if you are reading this in public people will wonder what you
have to be so happy about!

It started about a week ago when I had an experience that completely caught
me off guard and caused me to question over 20 years in my field and to rethink
a personal quest for success on my own. Granted, after a bit of work I was able
to muffle those internal negative voices, but the whole event shook me. Not a
pleasant situation considering that Ive always encouraged self development and
confidence building with those who have worked around me. Plus, over the past
year Id become a student of the Law of Attraction, the practice of positive
thinking and living, and had worked hard reshaping my mindset to formulate a
method for achievement.
This event did not involve tragedy or failure; rather it was a wonderful opportunity
that threw me. Here was a most incredible prospect and instead of being
energized I was in a panic! Not only that, but for 3 days leading up to this point I
had already set the intention for success by finally taking action and doing two
specific things to validate my own abilities. I was witnessing a wonderful
example of how positive thinking and intent can bring opportunity and yet I was
paralyzed by a sudden return of my old feelings of inadequacy. This was an
occasion to stop and think, to review recent events and habits, to take stock
again. In doing so I discovered I had regressed almost back to where I had
started without realizing it.
Day to day we are all faced with the tasks at hand and the business of
accomplishing as much as we can or must in a very short span of time. We are
fortunate enough to have many resources and modalities to help improve our
lives, shorten our work day, to bring in more wealth on all levels, to be more
content, to just be more. Sometimes it seems that there is so much out there that
If you have already begun your journey to discovering how the Law of Attraction
works for you and are comfortable with where you are, then this is not for you just
now. If you are just starting out on transitioning into a new stage of life, or if
momentum has slowed, the creative flow has stopped, or old habits are
resurfacing, then set aside some time to review and take measure by checking
your available resources, reassessing your less than positive influences, and
taking a close look at your support systems.
Resources
Ask yourself:
Are you having difficulty managing the volume of offers and emails you
receive?
Are there so many choices that you feel thrilled but also inundated?
Are you frustrated because you want to spend time in a program but have
committed to other systems?
Do you have difficulty remembering what resources you thought you might
want to get back to, but cant remember where you saw them?
Influences
Every now and then old ghosts of our character might creep back in without us
realizing it. We can become so involved with just functioning on a day to day
basis that we forget to look up and recognize what transitions, positive and
negative, are taking place. The good news is that as you rediscover old bad
habits and negative emotions, youll see that it requires less time and effort to
tamp them down and readjust your course.
Ask yourself:
What are your issues now and how do they differ from when you started or
from other times in your life?
What is keeping you from moving forward? Loss of confidence, lack of
organization, fear, stress, too many ideas circling in your head?
What are your time zappers?
What are your stress triggers; picking up the children on time, not having
quiet time first thing in the morning, dishes in the sink, too much noise, too
much quiet?
Are you restless? Do you need to energize, or relax? Do you know when
you need one versus the other?
Support Systems
Ask yourself:
What is your support base; do you have one?
Are you surrounded by positive, encouraging people?
Who are the people who have inspired you over time?
What do you appreciate the most about yourself?
What do you love the most about what you do?
You and the life you are shaping are your own masterpiece. Regardless of who
and what you are responsible for, you are a work in progress and will always be
evolving. Always remember to maintain some consistent level of self awareness
as a means of providing checks and balances as you navigate through your
journey. It is ultimately up to you.
Put yourself first on a conscious level, at least for a few minutes out of
each day.
Be deliberate in the way you manage your decisions and affairs.
Commit and follow through.
Manage your space and environment.
Be patient with yourself. Perfection is over rated. Seek exceptional
outcomes instead.
Take time to actually look and recognize yourself in the mirror.
Read your biography several times a week and remind yourself of who
you are and where you want to go.
Look around you, be curious, notice life in motion and feel the connection
you have with the universe.
Smile frequently-even when you are alone. Turn up the corners of your
mouth ever so slightly while you are working and see just how good you
feel. Maybe even take a peek in a mirror and see the sparkle that others
see.
Laugh out loud and frequently.
Be gentle with yourself and forgiving, but always employ constant, gentle
pressure to stay on task.
Dress with intent and for the results you are looking for. If you are working
at home, consider trading the pajamas for something less informal. It is
You may not be able to do many of these things at once, especially if you are out
of practice. But taking a deliberate, thoughtful and simple approach to tweaking
aspects of your life that you feel are in need of adjusting will help to soften some
of the bumpy spots on your road.
May you have a wondrous, delightful journey filled with discovery, love,
happiness, and much success.

Mistake # 1 - Women become exclusive and committed too early in the dating
phase. (Sometimes referred to as the "mini-marriage" or "the one-night stand that
never left!") This is the deadliest mistake because both partners suffer trying to
make it work before the inevitable end. They think there is something wrong with
themselves or their partner or the relationship, when it simply boils down to the
fact that they were not really conscious when they became a couple.
Mistake # 3 - Women listen to poor advice on how to play the relationship 'game'
and so attract men who are playing 'games' and are not a good match for them.
Women and men are encouraged by the media to focus on elements that have
little to do with attracting a soulmate.
Mistake # 4 - Many women have a list of what they want in a partner, but the list
is missing the key qualifier for a lasting relationship ... the Deal-Breakers. So they
Mistake # 5 - They have hidden Limiting Beliefs which are not 'Soulmate-
Attractive'. Unconsciously they believe they don't deserve to find love, or think
they are unattractive, or believe there are no good men left. These beliefs are
expressed unconsciously, in different ways by different people. They might come
across as 'needy at one end of the spectrum or untouchable' at the other end.
Either way - a BIG turn-off for men.

How to Release
Financial Fear
Fear is a low frequency emotion that can be very difficult to move or rise. With
the current climate of fear about all things financial, this simple five minute
technique could make the difference between failure and fantastic!
Often, our desired results are undermined by sneaky little tail-enders that stem
from us not really feeling deserving or some other, often unknown, fear. (Well
discuss tail-enders later).
Fear is a normal, natural human emotion, though one that we would not be able
to experience if our bodies werent designed to handle it. The problem for most
people is that when fear is present, much of our logical resourcefulness just melts
away as stress hormones flood our bodies and brains.
In the current climate of endless media dissection of every aspect of the financial
crisis, fear is everywhere: fear of losing jobs, homes, families. Its helpfully
refreshed every day, or several times a day if you talk to people living in fear, or
pay any attention to the media. Some researchers have found that we can catch
fear simply by being with fearful people.
Those techniques really do work, if you have the clarity of mind to have a logical,
cognitive, conversation with yourself, or even feel like youve got a spark of
energy or optimism to drag yourself out of the fear funk.
Or, you could change your emotional state by working with your bodys energy
system. Emotions are after all, just energy: e-motion = energy-in-motion. For
most of us in the Western world, were more likely to experience energy-in-
stuckness because were taught from a very young age to suppress emotions
that we or those around us, find uncomfortable.
Then we travel through our lives gathering more of the same feelings to
suppress. It takes a huge amount of energy to keep all those bad feelings
suppressed, and eventually we explode in anger, or dissolve in tears. Often we
then regret or are embarrassed by that loss of control.
There is another way; a technique that if you choose to use it consistently, will
help you move to a whole new level of emotional freedom in every part of your
life, where you access all of your adult skills and experience to make the most of
your life. Its called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and is one of the new
wave of energy psychology techniques sweeping the counselling and coaching
professions and moving vast amounts of emotional pain that stands before it.
The best news of all is its very easy to learn and to use yourself.
Learning EFT
Remember:
EFT Founder, Gary Craig, says that the root of all
discomfort is a blockage in the body's energy Its your energy.
system. To correct the blockages you simply tap So you can choose
your fingertips on the beginning or end point of exactly what to do with it:

one specific issue, or it may clear in just one
round.
EFT Clearing
Follow this script to try EFT. Say the words (below) while tapping the
corresponding point 6 or more times.
Before you have a little conversation with yourself about whether that can be true
or not, the correct number is usually the one that first pops into your head. Your
intuition gave you that number; its usually very accurate, pay attention to it even
if you dont like the answer.
Now tap with one hand on the karate chop point of the other hand (doesnt matter
which hand), while you say the setup phrase three times:
Even though I feel really afraid about all the chaos in the financial markets and
the economy right now, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.
Even though I feel really afraid about all the chaos in the financial markets and
the economy right now and Im worried about how it might affect me, I deeply and
completely love and accept myself anyway.
Even though I feel really afraid that I might lose my job (or something else say
what) because of all the chaos in the financial markets and the economy right
now, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.
Following the diagram above, with two fingers, tap seven to ten times on each
point while saying the reminder phrase. In this case, say this fear. Move fairly
quickly, it doesnt have to be exact or slow.
Thats it, youre done. Yes thats really all there is to it.
Some Cautions
EFT is incredibly powerful, and can shake loose energy that youve been
suppressing for years. This can make you really sleepy the first time you do it, so
be prepared for a slow few hours.
Its really important to keep well hydrated during and after EFT. If EFT is not
working for you, often its because you need more water. Keep a glass or bottle
of water beside you, and have a drink between tapping rounds.
And finally, sometimes when you shift a bunch of old stuck energy, you can have
some strange dreams! I do not believe that dreams signify anything, but if you do,
please pay attention to that in any way you feel is right for you.
Other than that, please give EFT a go and do what Gary Craig says try it on
everything!

Notes
What actions will you take today?
Do you remember when you jumped out of bed before the alarm clock rang
excited to take on the day? Are you missing the passion and joy that used to fill
your days... and nights? Sometimes life becomes too hectic and overstuffed with
tasks and responsiblities. You get lost in the shuffle and lose your sense of
direction. Then one day you notice that youve lost the energy and eagerness
that used to define you. The good news is that at any moment you can stop,
reassess and rekindle your spark for life.
Often when trying to reclaim passion and rejuvenate energy, people tend to focus
on a single area in their life. They may increase their amount of exercise to rev
up their energy. They may return to a hobby they loved to reconnect with their
creative self. While these are excellent strategies, it is important to remember
that you are multidimensional and all of you needs to be cared for body, mind
and spirit.
To rekindle your passion for life, select strategies from each of the three
categories. Embrace the activities with eagerness and anticipation. Know that the
time and energy you channel to these activities is a gift and revel in the love that
youre giving yourself. Dont make these a chore added to your already
overloaded to-do list. Its within a state of love and self care that the magic of the
universe flows to you.
Body
Your body is the vehicle that carries you through this life. It is the only one you
get. If you do not care for it, it will wear out and break down before you reach
your final destination. Without regular maintenance, it wont operate at peak
Here are some regular maintenance routines to keep your body road-ready:
Get physical - Your body is made to move. It needs to stretch, strengthen, and
exert itself beyond its usual demands in order to stay in tip top shape. Especially
if you have a sedintary desk job, you need to plan exercise into your daily routine.
Choose an activity that is fun for you. For me, my two dogs provide the perfect
encouragement to take a brisk 30 minute walk each evening.
Nourish your body Its easy to get caught up in the convenience of processed
and fast foods. But so often they contain artificial preservatives, colourings and
flavourings that dont belong in your body. Dedicate one week to eating entirely
natural, whole foods. Start with fresh ingredients and create meals that are
delicious and nutritious. It doesnt have to be elaborate or time-consuming.
Poached chicken breasts, steamed fresh vegetables, and fluffy rice are staples in
my house.
Play Children are wonderful role models for this. They can burst into play at any
moment with little provocation. Their play is spontaneous, physical and joyful.
Next time you hear a cascade of giggles coming from your kids, join in. No kids
no problem. Remember back to your own childhood and revive some of the
activities that brought you joy. Some of my favourites include making snow
angels, rolling down hills, playing tag, climbing trees and catching fire flies at
dusk. Remember, no planning needed - just let loose and laugh.
Do a cleanse Our bodies are exposed to and absorb toxins from a variety of
sources including poor diets, environmental pollutants and stress. These harmful
substances accumulate in the body and contribute to poor health, low energy and
lethargy. Cleansing is the process of ridding the body of toxins. While there are
many types of cleanses, they generally include restricting your diet and exposure
to common toxins for a week or two while supporting your body with herbs and
vitamins. Always work with your doctor, nutritionist or health coach to determine if
a cleanse is right for you.
Read a book When you are involved with a good book hours can pass in a
flash. Whether you prefer fiction or nonfiction, historic or futuristic, personal
development or biographical, you can find a book to capture your imagination
and stretch the boundaries of your knowledge. For extra benefit, pull together a
group of friends and form a book club to discuss the tome.
Take up a new hobby The mind gets a special kind of work out when you
engage it in creative tasks. By learning a new hobby you are investing time in
yourself to develop skills, commit to personal time and focus your mind. Hobbies,
especially the kind that produce something - provide a deep sense of
accomplishment and satisfaction that you can carry over into other areas of your
life.
Sing a song Not only is music great for the body, but its wonderful for the mind
as well. Music has been used in cultures and generations to pass down traditions
and bond people together. Music literally shapes your brains and involves more
parts of your brain than even language. In fact music is so powerful that it is used
to help people recover from strokes and other neurological damage. The benefits
of music to a healthy mind cannot be overestimated. So go ahead... sing a song,
sing out loud, sing out strong.
Dream Despite what you may have been told as a child, day dreaming is, in
fact, a very productive activity. When you spend time dreaming about what you
want your life to be like, you are creating new neural pathways that help you
make it a reality. If you read interviews or biographies about people who have
achieved great success, without fail they created a strong vision or dream of their
Spirit
Sometimes its easier to focus on the tangible, physical reality you see in front of
you. The physical fitness and beauty industries can attest to that. But just as
important, if not more, is caring for your spiritual needs. When you support and
nourish your spirit, the energy and love that you gain carries you through the
other activities you take on. Use your feelings to guide you in selecting ways to
care for your spiritual needs. If you listen closely, you will hear everything you
need to know.
Visit your local botanical gardens Nature has a special way of filling you up.
Spending time in nature, noticing its beauty its colours, patterns, textures,
sounds brings calm and peace. It allows you to connect with a deep and divine
energy that resounds with you to the core. If you cant head out of the city, make
use of the green spaces in your community. Visit the local parks, gardens, zoos,
and aquariums.
Send a thank you card Gratitude is the fastest way to achieve the life of your
dreams. By focusing on and being grateful for the blessings in your life right now
(even if they are blessings of opportunity) you can, in an instant, change your
life. Invariably gratitude brings with it a sense of prosperity and peace. And when
you take the additional step of expressing gratitude to another person, you not
only add magic to your own life, but to theirs as well.
Learn a new joke Then tell it often and laugh with exuberance. Youve heard
that laughter is the best medicine. Research shows that laughter prevents
inflammation in the body and reduces the effects of stress. It raises your spirit in
an instant and bonds you to others with whom you are sharing the laugh.
Laughter helps you restore emotional balance and even a simple smile can
dissolve tensions and create ripples of harmony.
Pamper yourself If I asked you to make a list of all the people you take care of,
how long would it be? Would you be on that list? When life becomes hectic often
the first responsibility that goes unmet is self care. Yet if you are not replenished
and nourished, you cannot tend to your other responsibilities. Take time to
pamper yourself. Decide what that means to you. For some pampering is a
manicure or massage at the spa. For others its quiet time alone to reflect, read
or simply rest. For others it is the hot bubble bath by candle light. Make a list of
what you find pampering and start indulging.
You are a miraculous being. As such you deserve to be cared for and nourished
in body, mind and spirit. At every moment you are one decision away from
creating the life of your dreams. It is your choice to make. Will you choose to
continue at a frenetic pace barely noticing life flying by you? Or will you choose to
dedicate time each day to rejuvenate and strengthen yourself?
Your life is meant to be a joyous adventure. Replenish your tanks and soon youll
be cheering, Woo hoo, what a ride!

Notes
What actions will you take today?
And it's not what you think, almost certainly not what you're doing, and so easily
within your grasp!
The Law of Attraction requires that you have a clear, vivid sensory map in your
mind of specifically what you want to attract.
It requires that you be able to summon or conjure up this sensory map of what
you want on demand, and keep it as the dominant thought in your mind. Its a
simple concept, but for many, not at all easy.
It can be hard to get clear enough about what you want, what you really want.
Hard to paint, tune and sculpt the details that bring it to life in your mind strongly
enough to begin bubbling up the emotions of excitement and burning desire that
fuel the attraction process.
Its not enough to chant to yourself more customers are coming or more
revenue is on its way or I have all the time I need to do what matters or my
customers are loyal raving fans. The more clearly that you can create that
sensory map of what you really want and in intricate detail, engaging all five
senses; sight, sound, smell, taste and touch, the more magnetic it will be.
Actually, nothing.
1. You have to stay focused, very focused on what it is that you want.
If you want to accelerate your skill at attracting the results you want in your
business by practicing these three things, theres something that will help you
and it will work like magic.
Its something few business owners have but anyone can get.
Its very misunderstood, but relatively easy to do, when you learn to see it for
what it really is and not for what youve always assumed it was.
Its seen as boring by those that dont have it, but those that do wouldnt be
without it.
Its what many would perceive as being at the opposite end of the spectrum to
Law of Attraction, even though its very roots are in the language of the universe.
But its power to paint, tune and sculpt the sensory map of what you really want
to attract and to keep your attention riveted upon it, is astounding.
Its measurement.
A chiropractic practice might use such words to describe their idea of success,
what they want to attract. It might not be as sophisticated as the numbers that
decide the shape of a fern frond, but certainly more sophisticated than
despondent desperation for a more successful business.
There are four measures implied by the words in the chiropractic example above.
The first is the weekly hours the owner works. The second is the profit that the
business makes. The third is the number of customers the business serves each
month. The fourth is the speed with which customers get the relief they sought.
The measures together keep you focused on what types of results you want to
attract the story of success for your business. But measures can do more than
that.
Probably the toughest part of measuring your business is letting the measures
show you where you actually are now, before youve attracted the success you
want. Feedback that is honest and dispassionate can sting and tempt you to
make like an ostrich and bury your head in the sand.
Your business measures will track that process from where you are beginning
now, all the way to where you want to be. Theyll be the feedback that excites
you as you see that what you want to attract is indeed coming.
Your business measures will also nudge you when youre blocking the attraction
process.
Your business measures are connected to one another; they weave the threads
of your business into a coherent story of relationships. Just as the fronds of a fern
can be modelled by simple mathematical equations, measurement reveals the
often very simple patterns and relationships among the various activities and
processes in your business that give rise to how successful it is.
But unlike a fern, you can use the knowledge of those relationships you measure
in your business to change how successful it is.
When youre wondering why the customers arent coming in droves, theres
something better you can do than blaming the economy and deadening the pain
with a little too much chocolate. You can ask your measures, the measures that
track the results of your marketing campaigns. Your measures will tell you which
campaigns are wasting your money and which campaigns are giving you the
greatest return on your money.
Your measures will help you diagnose, learn, test and tune all the parts of your
business so they work better and better and better together to make the business
as a whole more successful.

What actions will you take today?
The immediate solution is to start moving the seat back further or changing the
slope of the back rest until you are about a foot away from the wheel and can still
see properly to drive. In case this still does not give you enough room, look for
someone to install pedal extenders. And don't accept the inconvenience of the
other driver who is taller than you as an excuse to keep you from being safe. The
In the back seat you have your toddler in her car seat all belted in and your 10
year old - also with seat belt done up securely. Between them are a lunch box,
school books and a wrapped birthday present. Your daughter has just finished
figure skating lessons and her skates are on the floor in the back. Since it was
raining, the umbrella is in the back window rest. If it was snowing, translate that
into the long ice scraper. And at the last moment, Fluffy scurried out of the house
and is also bouncing around in the back seat looking out the windows.
All of these things are part of our everyday, hectic lives and since we are only
going 20 minutes away, they are all in the main body of the car. But once we
have to slam on the brakes for a near miss or we actually have an accident, all of
those items become projectiles. None of them are seat belted in and are now
flying forward or all around in the off chance that the car flips over. If the reality of
this has not sunk in yet, please have someone take those same objects and
throw them at you. The point is quickly made.
The solutions here are numerous and will take constant vigilance to maintain, but
they are all easy and so very worth it. Pen, note pad or paper, coins can all be
stored in a fabric pencil case that will contain them and disperse any weight if it
should hit you - no more "pierced by your pen". Get an aftermarket attachment to
hold your cell phone in place. Seatbelt your purse into the passenger seat. You
can still get into it when stopped at a drivethrough, but it is held from flying about.
A mesh laundry bag is sturdy, see through and usually has a draw string that can
contain other large items in one place and you can seat belt it into the back
between the kids. Be cautious with all pointed objects like umbrella or ice scraper
or skates or golf shoes. I have found that a soft tote bag will contain them and
live easily on the floor of the back seat or better yet - in the trunk or held in place
with the mesh cargo containers in vans and SUV's. And lastly, there are special
belt devices for dogs that should be used. It will certainly be a noisy trip but better
that than your child witnessing Fluffy's demise or Spike actually knocking you
unconscious as he flies around in the car.
Highlight the important bits in the manual and follow the schedule. And get a
licensed place to do the servicing. They have the equipment to operate smoothly
and quickly and the means to dispose of the old product in an environmentally
responsible way. Changing your own oil is not hard, but then you are left with the
old waste product.
Find out the correct pressure for the air in your tires and then follow a schedule
every month to check the pressure and fill when it is down. You will improve your
fuel economy because the car rolls best when the tires are optimally inflated. This
piece is so easy to do and is so commonly ignored.
Most religions on the planet hold life in the highest regard. When we are driving,
if we keep that upper most in our minds and live by the Golden Rule to do unto
others as we would have them do unto us, the amount of accidents will fall
incredibly and we'll all be more considerate during our journey. Allowing
someone to merge instead of cutting them off and giving way instead of honking
the horn are all things that can keep us calmer and reduce road rage from the
other party. Phoning in an accident instead of gawking might just save
someone's life.
Taking the trip at a slower pace and not racing everywhere leads to a gentler
highway for all - plus we get to enjoy the scenery that God made for us. And
wouldn't it be nice to arrive at our retreat with a serene state of mind than the
crazed state most of us are in all of the time? Not only will you be calmer, but you
will save money on gas and save wear and tear on your car by treating it in a
smooth manner.
There are many more topics in our book Car Advice For Women (and Smart
Men), but these will give you some immediate action items to improve your safety
and security and those of your family as well. I wish you all the best in 2009 and
may you always be safe on the road.

A person with high self esteem will be in the positive vibrations most of the time
and a person with low self esteem and past baggage stays in the lower
vibrations. Positive vibrations helps in the manifestation of abundance and lower
vibrations block the flow of abundance.
Suppose a person (let us call him A) has a good self esteem. A colleague at his
work place comments that A is dominating and negative. A does a self analysis
to check how true the comment is. He realizes that he has always been
appraised well and his team members have always been friendly and supportive
of him. More over he realizes that even team members from his previous projects
contact him for advice. For him the comment does not make sense so he lets it
go. He realizes the person who commented may have been jealous or insecure
about his progress. The comment has no power over him. The words
Dominating and Negative do not have a vibrational match with his energy and
he lets it go.
Why does this happen? B has past memories where he was not appreciated
and he was criticized. This current criticism awakens the vibrations of the old
memories. The energy of criticism has found a vibrational match in B. B is
upset for hours or days depending how much of past burden and pain he is
carrying.
Low self esteem is a very common problem but we can resolve this with
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). People are not born with low self esteem,
negative life experiences make one feel that he/she is not good enough.
This belief of not being good enough gets reinforced from recurring difficult
experiences.
For each memory give a SUD (Severity of Distress) Number. This is a number on
a scale of 0 to 10. 0 Indicates the memory does not cause pain and you are calm
and 10 indicates that the memory is very intense and painful. Apply EFT for these
memories.
We are all divine and though lifes journey we sometimes forget our true nature.
By doing this process you will embrace the real divine you.
From my experience I feel that people with low self esteem block abundance and
they conclude that the Law of Attraction does not work. The Law of Attraction is a
universal law and it works. But we need to be in vibrational alignment with your
goals and with vibrations of love, gratitude, appreciation and abundance. For this,
enhancing self esteem is the first step.
If you are passionate about Abundance, do not run around in circles, take a
systematic approach. Even if you have to spend some time on this process
remember you are not only building a strong base for abundance but you are
also embracing your personal power. You can now live life with confidence and
peace. So make a decision today to create a good self esteem.

Sometimes you just wonder when it is going to be your turn! When will you get

In reality, this time may never come in quite the way you fantasise, because your
life perhaps really is too complicated at this present moment, or this particular

Somehow you feel as if you care a bit less and dont have the energy to cope, to
respond, intervene or to advocate on any one elses behalf. You are flat out just
getting through your own day, hanging on by a thread yourself.

suffered by relief workers both volunteers and professionals - who work
tirelessly to provide whatever physical and emotional help is required to the
victims of monumental disasters bushfires, earthquakes, bombings, floods or
violence of some sort.
The overwhelming scale of such widespread suffering often leaves them feeling
ill equipped to deal effectively with the subsequent emotional effects and they
can start to feel useless, even doubting that what they contribute will have any
effect at all. Over time they can start to lose their sense of humour and their usual
coping mechanisms and become numb inside, feel isolated, depressed, become
moody or angry, overindulge in alcohol, food or drugs to cope and many other
symptoms.
Unfortunately, they lack simple and effective techniques that can help them to
cope by clearing away the emotional pain and debris. Many Dru Yoga techniques
have been used with remarkable success from war zones to therapy centres,
helping dispel fear, anger and compassion fatigue, allowing them to open up to
feelings of hope and peace.
This is the extreme end of the scale of compassion fatigue. There are however
varying degrees, and many times I have seen similar effects within people who
have the ongoing responsibility for caring for someone at home. Often they also
work in caring professions and so are constantly giving out in all directions
everyday.
You can learn to claim small moments for yourself throughout the day that can
bring a sense of calm and peace. This can then help you maintain your focus and
Over many years I have worked as a nurse and a therapist, treating and caring
for many people suffering from the after effects of stress - on their minds and
their bodies. I have always worked in a caring role. Now, one of my specialist
areas is teaching Carers how to look after themselves, as well as their loved
ones, using natural therapies and Dru Yoga in their home. They have to combine
caring for someone at home with all the usual demands of life. The people may
have cancer, dementia, autism, ADD, ADHD, stroke, mental illness or a myriad
of other chronic illnesses.
When you think about it though, we are all carers. Women particularly seem to
fall into that role being the mother, daughter, wife etc. Often it is just assumed
that you will do whatever it takes - pick up the pieces, organise this or that, be
there to console or help. However, many men are equally committed in their roles
as carers too. We all care, and generally we all care so much that we forget to
take the time to look after ourselves.
The days can sometimes be daunting as they seem to fly by and you just dont
seem to get through everything that you had hoped to do. If you continually put
pressure on yourself to do too much, or give too much of yourself, you can
become physically drained, worn out or even become sick. If we ignore the early
warning signs of stress, the next thing the universe sends to warn us is the Mac
truck usually in the form of an illness that forces us to stop.
Hold the inbreath momentarily just enjoy it and then breathe slowly all the
way out, silently and slowly counting to 4, completely emptying your lungs. Pause
for a moment and enjoy the emptiness briefly, before once again breathing in
deeply, completely filling the lungs. Pause, and enjoy the fullness of your breath.
Then exhale slowly and completely. Repeat several times.
It really can be as simple as breathing in and breathing out, just using our
awareness of the actual process of breathing to refocus and relax our mind.
During the inbreath silently say in your mind I am breathing in peace, and on the
outbreath silently say I am breathing out anxiety/anger/frustration (whichever
emotion or feeling that is in play at that moment).
If you are sitting somewhere where it is safe to do so, close your eyes and allow
yourself to really feel into the whole experience of breathing the breath, and
feeling the release of the tension and the subtle difference in your mind and body
as the transformation of the emotion occurs. (You do not have to re-experience
the emotional trauma or incident in order to let it go.) It may feel slightly different
for everyone. For example, I often experience a softness within my body as my
muscles relax and a calmness seems to gently flush through my mind and body
which leaves me feeling clear and centred.
I am not suggesting that you sit and meditate and do specific breathing
techniques for hours on end. Many of you would never make, or have, the time
do that!
But, if you can find little triggers throughout the day that remind you to take that
deep breath and slow down, you will find that you suddenly start to take a few
slow, deep, calming breaths every so often. And you will enjoy it. Before you
know it, you will have gone from doing it just a couple of times a week, to a
I suggest you start with doing 2 or 3 breaths when you stop at every traffic light
as you drive to and from work or anywhere else that you drive. If you commute, it
is even easier to do some quiet, slow breaths while you are sitting on the train,
plane or bus. And then, add a calm and centering breath every time you sit down
at the computer, or check your emails, or go to the bathroom. Just another 1 or 2
deep breaths.
Before you realise it, you will be enjoying little moments of peace throughout your
day and experiencing the positive effects in your life. Your improved calm
responses (not knee-jerk reactions!) to those in your family or workplace will soon
be noticed and appreciated. And, when you are feeling relaxed, calm and clear
your mind is in the perfect place for really visualising and creating the life of your
dreams!
Her son is very intuitive and sensitive, and knows her so well that he can
immediately pick up on how she is really feeling, even if she is using her nice,
calm, everything is okay voice. He sees straight through it and reacts to her
inner tension. He then gets upset and his behaviour escalates, and that is when
they experience a difficult time together.
She was amazed and excited at how she really felt much calmer within herself
after her first Dru Yoga class. When she arrived at the next class she commented
that she felt much clearer and calmer after doing just a few rounds of deep
breathing during the week. Some days she only remembered to do it once, other
days 2 or 3 times. Apparently her son sensed very quickly that she was genuinely
more relaxed and calm on the inside, and consequently he then responded to
her with calm behaviour instead of an upset reaction! She was astounded at the
immediate ripple effect the simple act of consciously breathing in and out, slowly
and deeply, had on her life.
Another great success story is of a woman who had 2 grown children with
Cerebral Palsy (one also had uncontrolled epilepsy necessitating constant 24
hour hands-on supervision). Often she and her husband had to resuscitate one
child several times a day, and frequently needed to call the ambulance for extra
help. They barely slept, yet valiantly tried to live as normal life as possible.
The mum loved doing the deep breathing because she could do it anywhere,
including when sitting on the floor protecting her child during a seizure. She
quickly learned the benefits of instant relaxation and stress relief. Doing the DYB
took the panic out of her initial reactions and helped her to respond calmly and
think clearly while waiting for the ambulance. She was even able to go to the
dentist and not have a needle! Instead she visualised doing the DYB with some
flowing arm movements.
What she discovered was that simply breathing deeply had a powerful and
tangible effect on the way she coped with her unusually stressful and
unpredictable daily life and was thrilled with the results. It was empowering! And
she began to think more positively, drawing more positive experiences into her
life.
So, what are you waiting for ???? If these women can have such dramatic
results imagine what could happen in your life!
Start breathing deeply and slowly right now and watch your life change!

There are legal ramifications in all aspects of your business. These legal
ramifications can have a serious impact on your wealth and health. The nature of
the impact will depend on how you structure your business, buy and sell, build
your team, manage your business and protect your personal and business
assets. This list is by no means exhaustive. As a business owner, do you have
a lawyer to help you understand these legal ramifications?
Whether you are already in business or are thinking of starting one, it is important
to have a lawyer on your support team. Ignorance of applicable laws may result
in your inadvertent breach of the law. Some breaches may have unpleasant
consequences for you and your business. You may also find yourself exposed to
risky business ventures. All these may lead to financial loss, wasted time and
heartache all of which can be easily avoided by having proper legal advice
upfront.
Legal advice does not always have to cost an arm and a leg as is the popular
myth. Some times, all that it takes to save you a lot of time, money and
heartache is just a phone call or a short visit to the lawyer. A young man once
came to see me angry and bewildered - he was being sued for $48,000. Let us
call him Joe which is not his real name. Joe was among 4 directors of a
company who had given a "joint and several guarantee" to a creditor who had
supplied building materials to their company.
When Joe signed the guarantee he was under the mistaken belief that his liability
would be limited to 25% of the outstanding debt of as there were 4 guarantors.
Joe did not know then that in a "joint and several guarantee", the creditor could
choose to sue all of the guarantors, or one or more of them, for the entire
outstanding debt.
Joe told me that if he had understood the meaning of a "joint and several
guarantee", he would have resigned his directorship rather than sign the
guarantee. If he had come to see me about the guarantee upfront, it would have
cost him $250.00 to get the advice he needed. This could have saved him
$48,000.00 (when legal costs are added to the settlement sum), and the many
long hours and heartache he had to endure in defending the case.
The proverb, a stitch in time saves nine, now rings true for Joe. You can always
ask a lawyer what is involved in your matter, what needs to be done and how
much it would cost before deciding whether you want to proceed. Be mindful and
take responsibility to ensure you are on the right legal path.
If you have any lingering doubts about how the law applies to you and your
business, now is the time to take action to bolster your ability to stay in business
and to grow your business confidently and successfully. One way to do this is for
you to find the right lawyer to be on your support team.
It is important to find a lawyer whom you can work with on a long term basis. A
lawyer who has been on your team for a while will gain a thorough knowledge
and understanding of the history and background of your business. This enables
the lawyer to respond expeditiously and to provide you with advice not only
relevant to the matter at hand but also relevant to your business as a whole.
To kick start your search for the right lawyer, you may want to create a short list
of 3 lawyers and arrange for a face to face meeting with each of them. The
purpose of the meeting is for you to identify who will be the right lawyer for you.
Before meeting with each lawyer, it will be good to ensure that the meeting is on
a no obligation basis and that you will not be required to pay the lawyer for the
meeting.
The first key is to find a lawyer with expertise and experience relevant to your
business. For example, If you are a retailer with several stores in major shopping
centres, you may want to have a business lawyer who has a large number of
clients in the retail business and who is also well versed in retail leasing. You will
not choose a family lawyer to advise you on your business matters just as
someone with a heart problem will not consult a brain surgeon but will consult a
cardiologist.
Doesnt this seem obvious? Yet many business owners consult a lawyer based
on a referral without first ascertaining that the lawyer is really suitable for them
and their business. Consequently, they often do not get the advice which they
need and deserve.
You can avoid this common pitfall by ascertaining whether the lawyer has the
expertise and experience to advise you in your area of business. Find out
whether the lawyer has handled matters which are relevant to your business,
how long the lawyer has been handling such matters and the percentage of such
matters to the rest of the lawyers current practice.
The second key is to have a lawyer who shares your values or at least
understands and supports them. Many business owners have an uneasy
In order to have an excellent relationship with your lawyer and to ensure you are
both headed in the same direction with your business, it is best that you find one
who will at least understand and support your values. For example, if you value
peace and win-win solutions, you would want a lawyer who can appreciate and
support these values and better still, if the lawyer shares these values.
Otherwise, it can be stressful for you if your lawyer happens to be a very tough
and competitive negotiator who drags out negotiations by holding out for a win
for you and a lose for the other side.
Be clear on your values especially your business values. Make a list of your
values and consider each of them to ensure that they resonate well with you.
Once you have finalised the list, discuss the list with your short-listed lawyers.
Take note of their responses carefully and gauge who will best support your
values and help you to reflect them in your business dealings.
The third key is to check on the risk profile of the lawyer and ensure that it fits
your risk management style. Are you someone who enjoys taking huge
business risks and love the adrenalin rush that goes with it? If you are, then can
you imagine what it would be like if your lawyer is highly conservative and prefers
to play safe all the time?
Your response could be That is great! At least here is someone who will make
sure I dont run straight into trouble. On the other hand, another business owner
may have a totally different response and say That scaredy cat lawyer will just
drive me nuts! I need a gung-ho can-do lawyer who will help me operate at the
fringe (of legal limits) because that is where big money is made.
When you meet up with your short-listed lawyers, find out whether the lawyer
shares your approach to business risks. If not, then you may consider whether
you see their approach as a benefit or a hindrance to the way you conduct your
business. Each of us may have a different response to the same risks and
ultimately, only you can decide on the lawyer to help you manage your business
risks.
The fourth key is to ensure that your lawyer is able to communicate clearly with
you. No matter how brilliant a lawyer may be, it is pointless if the lawyer is
unable to explain legal concepts and issues in simple laymans language or in a
manner in which you can understand clearly. If you are unclear about what you
need to do to stay out of trouble in the legal arena, it is like playing Russian
Roulette it becomes a game of chance and if you happen to be unlucky, you
may find yourself in deep trouble with the law.
While meeting with your short-listed lawyers, listen closely to their language. Is it
filled with legal jargon or is it simple to understand? If your lawyer is able to
explain things clearly to you, it is likely that the same lawyer will be able to
communicate clearly with third parties on your behalf. This would help your legal
matters to move quickly and be resolved expeditiously. The benefit for you is
that it will save you time and money in the long run.
Key 5 Service
The fifth key is to ascertain if the lawyer is readily available to provide you with
the service you desire. It is pointless to have a lawyer who is too busy to talk to
you or do your legal work. For business owners, time is money. The sooner you
conclude a deal, the sooner you start making money. While it is unrealistic to
expect things to happen immediately and for contracts to be drawn up on the
spot, you want to avoid unnecessary delays.
Find out from your short-listed lawyers what is their existing work load and
whether they will be able to take your calls and devote sufficient time and
attention to your matters. What is their response time? If someone else will be
doing the work instead of the lawyer, you need to find out who they are and their
level of expertise and experience. Will the lawyer be supervising their work?
It is best to set out your expectations of the level of service you want upfront and
to get a commitment from the lawyer that these expectations can be readily met.
Otherwise, you may find one of your business deals in the pipe line going through
a bottle neck just when you want it to be concluded expeditiously - this can be
very frustrating for you and the party on the other side of the deal.
The sixth key is to test how flexible are the billing and payment options of the
lawyer especially when your business cash flow has peaks and troughs during
Some lawyers have flexible arrangements and you may negotiate on a case to
case basis on whether you will pay legal fees on a time basis or on a fixed fee
basis. The advantage of having a fixed fee arrangement is that you know the
legal costs upfront for your matter. However, most lawyers will list what is
included in the fixed fee. If there are other items of work which are not on the list,
the lawyer will usually let you know about them before hand and you will be
required to pay for them.
If you agree to be charged on a time basis, you would need to know what are the
hourly rates and what is the approximate total cost for your matter. In addition,
you may also want to request that you be notified when the legal bill reaches a
certain sum so that you have some measure of control over how your matter is
being run.
Some business owners prefer to have itemised billing from their lawyer ie. the
lawyer provides a list of each item of work done in relation to the matter. This
allows the business owner to gauge generally whether the legal costs have been
incurred fairly.
You may want to discuss with your short-listed lawyers their billing and payment
options. Test how flexible they are with their options and whether they are
prepared to consider other options. Ascertain what suits you best and how this
works with the cash flow of your business.
The seventh key and a very important one is the trust you have in your lawyer.
The level of trust must be such that it will enable you to be totally honest and
open with your lawyer. It requires disclosing the good, the bad and the ugly so
that your lawyer will have the complete picture and understanding of the
background, facts and circumstances of your matters. Such information is vital
for your lawyer to act in your best interest at all times.
Only you can tell whether you trust a particular lawyer. For some, trust is based
on a gut feel. For others, it is the result of painstaking checks and references.
Make a Decision
These 7 Keys are intended to help you to find the right lawyer for you. They are
by no means exhaustive and you can add others. The responses of your short
listed lawyers will show their strengths and advantages as well as their
weaknesses and disadvantages. Ultimately the choice lies with you and the
weight you place on these responses in helping you to reach a decision.
Deliberate on your findings and make a decision. Good luck in your search and
may you soon have the right lawyer on board as part of your support team!
