Does Economic Prosperity Elude You?

How amazing would it be if you could always be at your peak?

Allow yourself to think back to a time when you were at your best. Your “A” game was in place – you felt like you had the Midas Touch – everything just fell into place and you were at your absolute peak performance best.

Can you remember those incredible feelings of success and happiness?

Are you a Spiritualpreneur who works hard, does the best you can, but knows there is still untapped potential inside of you dying to be unleashed?

Do you live with a heightened, yet frustrated sense of expectation in yourself in the areas of personal and professional growth and accomplishment?

Or maybe you’re someone who quietly admits to yourself that there’s something still missing, something half finished – something dreamed about but never realized – even after you look at all that you’ve accomplished.

You might sense or actually know that you may be underachieving relative to your potential and promise.

Maybe you’ve figured out your business or your profession, but find that happy and fulfilling relationships – with your spouse, significant other, children, family or friends – seem to elude you.

The truth is, life presents you with more paths to happiness, fulfillment, success, achievement, economic prosperity, and peak performance than ever before – but millions of individuals still live unfulfilled, mediocre, and less than richly rewarding lives.

I believe that this should not have to be the case!

It is your best level of thinking and performance that has gotten you the success you have experienced – and this energy that exists inside of you that can truly be tapped to unlimited potential – if you only know how to flip the switch. Read more

Is it Really Possible to “Have it All” in Your Own Business?

When people get into business or even think about starting their own business, what often ends up happening for them is they end up working harder than they ever did when they had a job.

Have you ever felt like that?

I see it all the time.

You have been taught that you really can have your own business and have balance and have plenty of money and all of those things, but you probably have the mindset that you have to work really, really hard for it and that it has to be difficult.

Has anyone ever taught you otherwise?

I have a business degree, and no one taught me in business school how to have a business.

I was taught how to be a good employee.

So when I talk about growing and expanding your business and lifestyle, I really think as an entrepreneur and especially as a Spiritualpreneur that it’s so important that your business and your lifestyle are in alignment. They need to be congruent.

I see lots of people who work a lot of hours; they never see their family.

Maybe they’re making a good income, but they don’t have any time to spend it. They don’t have any kind of real relationship with people or their relationships are suffering.

When I first started my business, I ended up always feeling like I should be at one place or another.

When I was with my family I felt guilty that I wasn’t working on my business, and when I was working on my business, I felt guilty that I wasn’t with my family.

That kind of energy is incongruous. It creates a lot of stress and disease, and it creates situations that people have where they actually end up going out of business.

A lot of the “going out of business” experiences aren’t about cash flow as much as they are about the person being burnt out.

The thing is, you can have a lifestyle the way that you want it with the hours that you want – something that you get to create in the way that you want to create it. Read more

You are activating your unique energy into the language of your service.

Take a look at the evolving progression of my unique serving offers. 

It is important to remember that you can change your USO any time you want to revise, tighten up, energize and activate that language.

Do You Ever Feel so Tangled up That You Can’t Move Forward in Your Own Business?

Just over a year ago, my family and I experienced the serious illness of my Mom, and all my brothers and sisters had to deal with this situation together.

Everything was ambiguous and we didn’t know what was going to happen for sure.  We couldn’t even make plans.

What I needed to keep saying to all of the others was, “You know, we just have to take this one step at a time.  We don’t know what the end result is going to be.

“We don’t even know what’s going to happen from moment to moment because it’s all uncertain.  So what we need to do is soften this whole experience, right?

“Would you agree that no matter what happens we’re going to have to deal with it in the moment?  But we can soften it a little bit by acknowledging that right now, here is where we are.

“What we have to do is understand that we can’t fix this right now”.

I said this in front of all our family members.  “Can we all be Ok with the fact that we can’t fix this right now? Can we all agree that right now we can’t fix this?”

They were like, “Yeah.  OK, then what can we do?  Where can we find our place of power even now in what seems like a place of no power.”

This was the softening that we all needed to cope with the unknown and still be in the present to take action as needed.

You will often find yourself in situations in life or in your own business or career where you are in a point of what I call tangled energy. It’s like you’re in the middle of a big knot and you can’t get out and you can’t go farther because you’re just stuck!

When you feel that way, try the following steps for detangling your energy.  You won’t be able to move beyond a blockade in your own business, or even forward to managing your energy around it until you are able to first smooth out the knot! Read more
