Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to travel to multiple women’s conferences and speak to scores of women entrepreneurs about their Big Ideas, Dreams and Goals. Questions come up on a range of topics including how to start a business to taking an existing business to the next level of success. One question that seems to have a recurring theme right now is “How do I create a successful business while maintaining work/life balance?” Great question! And one that deserves an answer with some solid tips and solutions. Full Article

How to Check In On What You’re Attracting

A recent question from a listener of my Art of Joyful Living radio show prompted this article. The question is: how do I stay on track throughout my day in terms of focusing on how I feel and what I truly want to manifest in my life? I love this question and it comes up often with my one on one clients, too. The key to changing a lifetime habit of default thinking is to become mindful (take notice of) what you are thinking on an ongoing basis. The more you do this, the more attuned you become to what you typically think so that you can choose to stick with those thoughts (if they’re working for you) or consciously choose to change them (if they’re not). As with learning any new habit, repetition is your secret to success. I use a variety of reminder techniques with my clients to help them “break into” their thoughts throughout their day so they can check in on what they are thinking and, consequently, what they are attracting. You can use these same simple techniques to revolutionize how you think. Full Article

Living Your Wealth in the Here and Now

As this week’s quotation from the book Daily OM says, “sages of all faiths agree that the current moment is the only thing that really exists.” This is a concept I share with all my clients because it is from our focus on the present moment that we are able to live abundantly and prosperously – no mater what our current circumstances. This is an important point in the Law of Attraction as well as a key aspect of creating effortless success. Why? Let’s start with what happens when we focus on the past. When we focus on the past we can only think, create and act from what we have known. Unless what we have known is abundance and prosperity, then we will only be able to create more of what we have known in the past. What is that for you? If you are excited about the thought of living your wealth in the here and now, then my guess is you have not yet experienced amazing prosperity and abundance. As Albert Einstein said, “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” If your focus is on what you have had in the past, you will only be capable of creating more of the same.

Sharpening Success

One of the hardest questions I ask people who come to me for coaching is for them to give me their definition of success. Most give me what society has deemed as successful: money, recognition, material possessions, freedom, etc., because that is what we have been conditioned to believe quantifies success. Full Article

Focus on Deliberate Creation Through Active Thought Processes

There’s a balance that you want to strike between thinking and acting. Thinking comes first as you need to know what you want and why you want it in order to effectively go out there and get it. This article shares some ways for you to think AND create at the same time. Think of your actions as flowing from your thoughts and emotions. They are not separate entities at all. Following are what I call Active Thought Processes that help you to really “get” how you can create the life of your dreams with your thoughts and emotions. It really can be, as Abraham says, “as easy to create a castle as a button.” Full Article
