Change One Thing – Breakthrough To Success Blog

Are You Cutting Yourself Off From Abundance?

Every day I hear people from all walks of life saying things that literally cut them off from abundance and success. I’m sure if you were fully aware of how you talk to yourself and to the world about who you are, chances are, you would be shocked. We are all guilty of this in some small degree, but for many it is debilitating.

Are you talking yourself out of living your fullest life with the self-concept you’ve created?

Without a strong self-image, all success is temporary. Fear along with low self-esteem eventually leads to self-sabotage. I know, for years I was a queen of self-sabotage.

I found one of the keys to living the life of my dreams was to change how I felt about myself. High self-esteem creates an environment within you allowing you to believe anything is possible and attainable in your life.

Once you have a healthy self-concept from using this process, you are able to make a commitment not only to yourself, but also to how you will live the life of your dreams. You now have the ability to step fully into your power.

To help you get started here is Day 21 excerpted from “Change One Thing, Change Your Life; A 40 Day Personal Transformation System”

Day 21

“All things are possible with my mind and heart aligned to the Divine Presence within as my only source.”

With your life and your purpose in alignment everything falls into place. You have the energy and passion to do what needs to be done to accomplish your goals. You have a specific combination of talents and insights that are your gift to share with the world. You are here to make a difference in the lives of other people.

You have an obligation to yourself and to the planet to uncover your true purpose. Don’t doubt for one minute the impact your life has on other people’s lives. In our society it’s unfortunate that we don’t express to people how they influence us directly by what they do and indirectly by witnessing how they live their lives.

How do you present yourself to the world as a whole?

You don’t have to be famous to be a role model or to have a tremendous impact on the lives of others. How many people are probably feeling they live ordinary lives and aren’t of any great importance to the world? Do your role models know how they have impacted you?

Personal Observations Day 21

What kind of role model are you being by the way you live your life
Who has influenced your life? How would they feel if you told them? Do it, make someone’s day.
Do you feel your life doesn’t matter? How would your life change if you had proof it wasn’t true?

I hope this excerpt will aid you in making a difference in your life and the life of someone else today.

If you need some assistance in creating the blueprint for your life, I’m here to help.

Until next week, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Just comment on this post on my blog.

Do You Know How to Build a Life?

Over the weekend I was having a conversation with a client about building a life and building a business like you would build a house.

Even though I’m a Success Architect, I’m not a licensed architect. But I have drawn plans for houses and worked with many builders and architects while my career was in real estate. So follow me with this analogy.

I come from the process of seeing a piece of property as a blank slate and visioning what would be the best design to build on that property to take advantage of the topography, the views, the location in general and most importantly the lifestyle and needs of the people who will live in the house to make sure what is built is to the highest and best use of that property.

But how many people do you know that take that kind of care to create their life or their business?

Do you?

Re-read that from the standpoint of the house being your life. Do you give the life you are creating that much conscious thought?

When looking at how you are creating the blueprint for your life do you look at your life as a blank slate from this day forward?

Do you envision what is the highest and best use of your time taking into account what is really important to you in every area of your life? Taking into account what your biggest strengths and challenges are?

Do you create the blueprint for your life in a way that focuses on your desired lifestyle and who you really are?

Because those are three of the pieces that will lead you to create a blueprint for your life that allows you to live the life of your dreams right now.

Think about how you would be focused on every detail of building or remodeling your home-from major decisions of room placement and sizes all the way down to door handles light switches.

In that situation you have one decision after another to make and they all have to be made to have you end up living in the home of your dreams.

And yet you may not even realize you make decisions all day long that have the same impact on the designing of the life you live in. It’s easier to overlook this because so many of the decisions you make are made subconsciously by default.

Believe me when I tell you that all those subconscious decisions you thought you didn’t make were in fact made and you are living the result of those decision.

There is no such thing as deciding not to make a decision.

It’s the same thing in your business.

Looking at the landscape of your current business, how does it show up in the life you are building for yourself?

Are you creating a blueprint for your business that supports the realization of the lifestyle you choose to have?

Is your business structured in a way that showcases you in the best way possible?

Have you created a blueprint for your business that uses your raw talents to their highest and best use?

Unfortunately the majority of people put much more thought and planning into working with their architect on a new home or doing a remodel or even buying a new sofa than they do to designing their life.

In fact I would venture to say that many women expend much more thought and effort in creating their wardrobe than they do in creating their life.

Be conscious of the choices you make all day long that create the blueprint for your life with the same level of awareness you give to the other things you are creating.

Until next week, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Just comment on this post on my blog.

That statement will sting if it’s true for you. If it’s not you, you probably know someone you’d like to forward it to. Where is your creativity focused, growing your business or making excuses?

I’m so glad to finally be home, at least for a while. My first month in my beach house I was actually only here 4 days. In San Diego we’re still having great summer weather!

Some of you who were at Brendon Burchard’s tent event with John Gray & Marianne Williamson, emailed me afterward saying you didn’t know I was going to be there. When you sign up for any event through me, I would appreciate it if you would drop me a quick email to let me know so we can get together in person.

Author 101 in Atlanta was amazing and I now have a great new group of clients that are beginning the process of going beyond their book to build an instant profitable back-end…even if you’ve never created a product or service before.

The Most Important Work You Can Do On Your Business

I just finished with the 5 article series on the 4 core blueprints that make up a successful life and business if you want to have a life that is in flow with your true passion and purpose.

When you’ve created all 4 of your blueprints and you have all 4 of these areas functioning at a level that satisfies you, then your life will be more peaceful and effortless than you have ever imagined it could really be…

No magic bullet required!

Now I’d like to move beyond the basics and talk about real transformation, rebirth of your business, reclaiming of your life and reawakening your soul on an even deeper level. It’s the most important work you can do on your business.

We all have times of transition in our lives:

School graduations
life changing travel
career advancement
spiritual introspection
marriages
births
deaths
divorces
relocation
illness
financial prosperity
financial downturns

I have experienced all of these and you may have too. It’s not so much that they happen that’s the transformational part of the transition, it’s what you make of it.

If you’ve been one of my subscribers for very long you know I recently went through a divorce, left my home in Scottsdale, left my dogs with my ex, moved to California and am re-assessing the structure of my business and all it’s components; all while traveling and speaking, writing a new book and trying to get settled in a new place.

That may seem like a lot to take on at once, but at the same time I’ve been doing an incredible amount of internal work. Personal and spiritual growth has been my passion since I was in high school, so this is nothing new for me.

Is personal growth something you consider to be a component of your business growth, because it is. It’s the foundation your business success is built on.

What is new is the perspective from which I’m doing it and the depth I now feel compelled to go to. You may or may not have ever experienced this. But have you ever felt like you dealt with something and then later it shows up as an issue to be dealt with again? Maybe months later, maybe years later? If yes, it’s time to go deeper.

I have been through a few of these major transformations in my life, the one before this being breast cancer while living in Mexico. That transformation brought about a move back to the states, leaving the ocean and moving to the desert and leaving
behind a 25 year career in sales and sales training for I had no idea what.

That’s how I got started on this path of being an author and mentor.

The way I see it, when a challenge shows up or a life transition, you can hold on for dear life and try to stay in the spot you are now or you can let go and fly. Have faith that this is as good a time as any to throw all the cards of your life up into the air and see how they fall this time.

And then you can arrange them any way you want.

That’s exactly what I did a few months ago. I remember having the conversation with my mastermind where they commented that I had a lot on my plate right then. I told them I felt incredibly free because of this opportunity to begin again and shake
up my business along with my personal life. Give everything a fresh look.

Why not look at transitions as a time of deep transformation and renewal and rediscovery of what you want your life to look like and how you want to live it, from top to bottom-a real house cleaning of every area of your life?

You don’t have to wait for a major transition in your life to do it. You can decide that once a year you’re going to set time aside to really do an inventory of where you are and how you feel about it.

The fall is a great time to do it because you’re preparing to close out this year and planning for your success in the following year. So set a date and do it now. Shake things up. See if the way you’ve structured your life and your business is still working for you or if you’d like to make some adjustments.

I am making some huge adjustments in my life and my business and you’ll be hearing all about them very shortly. I’m very excited about the new life I’m creating for myself as a single woman. I’m also very excited about the new services I’m creating to better serve you, so stay tuned!

Until next week, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Just comment on this post on my blog.

This week’s article is the fifth in a series of 5 articles on the “4 Core Blueprints to Reclaim your Life, Awaken Your Soul and Your Business“. If you missed the first two, click on the link to my blog at the bottom of this email in “Quick Links” to read them there.

I hope you’re having great fall weather because it certainly is above average here in San Diego, expecting 80 at the beach and it’s almost the end of September. It should be a beautiful weekend for Brendon Burchard’s tent event with John Gray & Marianne Williamson.

For once I’m driving somewhere instead of flying! I’m driving up to Long Beach as you read this. Given my schedule it seems that every week while you’re reading this ezine I’m on a plane. Next week I’ll be flying back from Atlanta to San Diego. I’ve been home for a day here and there and while trying to get at least some work done, I’d say I’m 75% unpacked. I won’t be home for more than 1 day until October 6th and then I have a guest for a few days.

My New York trip ended with a fabulous at an outdoor bistro on the Upper West Side with my friend Dr. Fern Kazlow followed by a side trip on the way back to the car for some cheesecake. It didn’t matter that I had just eaten enough gnocchi for 3 people, I wasn’t leaving NYC without having cheesecake.

I’ll tell you more later about the exciting new programs Dr. K. and I are working on.

Mentoring for Your Life and Your Business Blueprint

In part 4 of this series we talked about Sales/Marketing/Communication Skills Blueprint.

There are 4 core areas, or what I call core blueprints, that require your attention if you want to have a life that is in flow with your true passion and purpose. When you’ve created all 4 of your blueprints and you have all 4 of these areas functioning at a level that satisfies you, then your life will be more peaceful and effortless than you have ever imagined it could really be…

No magic bullet required!

In the final week we will discuss the last blueprint, Mentoring for Your Life and Your Business Blueprint.

If you’ve done the work we’ve discussed in the first 4 installments of this series, you’ve got to be feeling pretty great about your life focus and your business right now. Through the first 4 weeks you’ve worked on knowing who you are, where you’re starting from, where you want to go, how you’re going to get there and how to ramp up your sales and marketing program using better communications skills to bring in more cash.

Now it’s time for a mentoring blueprint.

In other blueprints I’ve mentioned that the top 3% of the people in the world have such a different life than the other 97% because they look at life differently and they make conscious choices. I told you that one of those conscious choices is to create a plan for building their business and it’s day to day operations for growth and financial prosperity.

Another very crucial conscious choice the top 3% of people make is to invest in themselves.

Once again, first you have to know your starting point. The next step is to evaluate how you feel about where you are and then decide where you would like to take it next. You need to be laser focused and absolutely clear on what your next step is
to get the best results from mentoring. If you’re not you could pick the wrong thing to be mentored on or the wrong time to do it.

It is likely that as you progress on your path you will have more than one mentor for different parts of your life or business working with you at the same time.

I have said many times that you should be willing to invest at least 10% of your income in your own growth if you are really serious. Then find the mentors that understand where it is that you want to go and have the experience to take you there.

Here is where I differ with what many coaches and gurus will tell you. They will say that you should only work with someone who has done what you want to do and mentored others to do the same.

But that’s not the whole story.

Where would Tiger Woods be today if he took that advice? His coaches have not been the best golfers in the world at any time in their careers; far from it.

Some people are gifted teachers and know the process of what needs to be done to get Tiger, or you, to the desired result without either the personal skill or perhaps the desire to reach that level themselves or possibly neither.

In my 25 year career as a salesperson, manager and trainer, I can tell you that the majority of the best salespeople couldn’t train others to do what they do because they don’t have the skill of a great teacher. That’s not their gift. And yet someone
who was an average salesperson can have an amazing understanding of the sales process and be an incredibly gifted mentor.

Some of the top gurus in your field may be the same way, the very best at what they do but not the best person to mentor someone to do the same.

If I were to share my personal preferences with you, I look for a mentor that understands what I want to accomplish. If I’m working with them one on one or in a small group, I want them to be excited about being involved in helping me reach that goal. I want them to have the skill level to be able to guide me through the process.

Are you getting the mentoring you need to grow your business and expand your level of personal growth?

Even more so than the other blueprints this is as extremely individualized so it’s important that you make a decision based on your own gut feeling about your possible mentor. Don’t just ask for a recommendation from a friend and assume that the relationship you will have with your mentor will be the same as theirs.

In this type of relationship, where you are getting personal mentoring, having a good fit of personalities is very important.

Remember that this is all about you. What you are passionate about, what you want your life to look like, the activities you choose to include in the way you create your business and the way you grow your business. Make those things clear to your
prospective mentor and see if you are in alignment before proceeding.

It’s your life. It’s your business. It’s your choice. Do what feels right to you.

Now you have the last piece of the 4 Core Blueprints to Reclaim your Life, Awaken Your Soul and Your Business. We’ve come full circle. You are creating the script of what you want your life story to be from now on. It’s time for you to take 100%
responsibility and take back 100% of your power. Pick up your pen and create a script for yourself that is exciting and compelling and passionate and fulfilling for you on every level.

Remember that all you ever need to know how to do is the next step that you’re going to take right now and the end result. The steps in between and the people you need to help you make it happen will show themselves as needed.

I hope this series has been beneficial to you and that you’ve taken the action suggested. Now that you know what you want and how you’re going to get there and you know how you’re going to get the cash to make it happen you’re ready to put it all together with the mentoring to keep you on track.

So get to work right now on blueprinting your life and reawaken your soul!

Until next week, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Just comment on this post on my blog.

Sales/Marketing/Communication Skills Blueprint

In part 3 of this series we talked about Blueprinting the Life of Your Dreams.

No magic bullet required!

In the final week we will discuss this area:
*Mentoring for Your Life and Your Business

Right now we’ll move on to the Sales/Marketing/Communication Skills Blueprint.

If you’ve done the work we’ve discussed in the first 3 installments of this series, you’ll be standing in a place today of knowing who you are, where you’re starting from, where you want to go and how you’re going to get there.

Do you love the topics of sales and marketing? The majority of people would answer no. You’re not alone if you would like to have clients lining up to do business with you without you ever having to ‘sell’ yourself or your products and if a marketing plan could become a thing of the past.

But…
reality is that unless you work on increasing the level of skill you have in the areas of sales, marketing and communication, your business has no chance of reaching it’s full potential and even worse, it has every chance of failure.

So how do you blueprint these areas of your business for success?

In last week’s blueprint I mentioned that the top 3% of the people in the world have such a different life than the other 97% because they look at life differently and they make conscious choices. One of those conscious choices is to create a plan for
building their business and it’s day to day operations for growth and financial prosperity.

This may not be a sexy topic but you can create a very elegant life with the cash flow that results from this particular blueprint.

Just like with the other blueprints we’ve discussed, first you have to know your starting point. The next step is to evaluate how you feel about where you are and then decide where you would like to take it next.

Are you doing what needs to be done to grow your business to the level you would like in a time frame that is optimal for you?

One thing I can tell you is that this is as individualized as any of the other 3 blueprints. Don’t measure your success or lack of success against what you see someone else doing in their business. That could be a fatal mistake and take you in a direction you really have no desire to go, while you follow someone else who is following their dream.

What you may not have considered in this big picture is what do you really want your business to provide for you?

I can guarantee you that it’s not about an amount of money in the bank. What does that money represent to you and what do you want it to do for you? When you answer those questions you’ll have a better idea of what the goal of your business really is.

In what proportion do you want to trade your time for money? The answer to that will tell you to what extent at this moment in time you either value your lifestyle more or your bank account more.

Most importantly, there is no right or wrong answer. It’s your choice. There are no rules of how many hours you should or shouldn’t work. It’s more about looking at why you’re working the hours that you do.

Once you are clear on how many hours you choose to work, what you want to spend that time doing and the results you expect to achieve, you can create a blueprint of sales, marketing and the proper communication to your target market to achieve those goals in the time frame you would like.

It goes back to the premise of all 4 of these blueprints that what you are creating is the script of what you want your life story to be from now on.

It’s time for you to take 100% responsibility and take back 100% of your power. Pick up your pen and create a script for yourself that is exciting and compelling and passionate and fulfilling for you on every level.

And remember that a vital ingredient to making this work is the cash your business provides to fund the life of your dreams, so let’s create the business of your dreams to go along with it.

Next, after you evaluate how you feel about where you are, take a look at what shifts you would like to make. Figure out what the end result is you are moving toward.

What do you really want your business to look like if there are no limits?

Once you’ve written your answer to that question, ask yourself what it’s going to take to get you there. If you get stuck here, I can help you. Blueprinting people’s lives is something that comes clearly and easily for me.

Create your step-by-step Sales/Marketing/Communication Skills Blueprint if you feel like you can do it on your own and take the first step today.

Next week we’ll move on to Mentoring for Your Life and Your Business Blueprint. Now that you know what you want and how you’re going to get there and you know how you’re going to get the cash to make it happen we’ll be ready to put it all together with the mentoring to keep you on track.

So get to work right now on blueprinting your business skills!

Until next week, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Just comment on this post on my blog.

Blueprinting the Life of Your Dreams

In part 2 of this series we talked about introspection and discovering your purpose.

And I asked you to create your own persona manifesto. If you haven’t done that, you can go to http://LynnPierce.com and sign up for this ezine, and you’ll get an email with a special report on how to create your personal manifesto as my gift to you. I take you step by step through how to create it and how to use it. It’s a powerful tool.

No magic bullet required!

In the final 2 weeks we will discuss each of these areas:

*Sales/Marketing/Communication Skills
*Mentoring for Your Life and Your Business

Right now we’ll move on to my favorite part, Blueprinting the Life of Your Dreams.

If you’ve done the work we’ve discussed in the first 2 installments of this series, you’ll be standing in a place today of knowing who you are, where you’re starting from and where you want to go.

Do you have a blueprint for the life of your dreams?

Do you have a blueprint for the life you’re living today?

Have you ever thought of creating a blueprint for your life?

The majority of people would answer no to all three of those questions. In fact they may ask what a blueprint for someone’s life would even involve, since it’s something they’ve never even considered before. Most people live day to day, putting one foot in front of the other without giving any thought to who really is making the decisions in their life or how they ended up where they are.

That’s why the top 3% of the people in the world have such a different life than the other 97%. They look at life differently and they make conscious choices.

Now so can you.

Creating a blueprint for the life of your dreams is not difficult to do when you know how or when you have someone to guide you through the process.

First you have to know your starting point. The next step is to evaluate how you feel about where you are.

You have a unique opportunity to choose differently every morning because you wake up every morning not knowing what the day will bring. There is an opportunity each day for an “aha” moment, in which to see yourself on a deeper level. There is also an opportunity on any given day to take your life in a whole different direction.

You are exactly where you are at this moment based on the choices that you continue to make. There is no such thing as “I have no choice, because…” That’s an excuse.

You have lived life up to now creating stories from the facts of your life, creating scenarios with words like “I can’t because”, “____ made me” or “I had to because”.

That’s over now.

Every thought you have is a decision waiting to be made. Einstein’s definition of insanity is to keep doing what you’ve always done expecting different results.

If you need help, get a friend to help sort out the facts from the story you’ve told yourself about your life. Let me warn you; it’s not easy to be completely objective and do this on your own. Make a list of facts and a brief description of the story you’ve told yourself about why you are the way you are.

Afterwards look at what you learned about the stories you’ve told yourself. Do they still make sense or do they seem ridiculous now?

What limiting beliefs have you uncovered?

Write your own script of what you want your life story to be from now on. If you don’t take on the job of being the writer and director in your life, someone else will.

So after you evaluate how you feel about where you are, take a look at what shifts you would like to make. Figure out what the end result is you are moving toward.

What do you really want your life to look like if there are no limits?

Create your step-by-step plan for making it happen if you feel like you can do it on your own and take the first step today.

Next week we’ll move on to Sales/Marketing/Communication Skills. Now that you know what you want and how you’re going to get there, you probably need some cash to make it happen, right?

So get to work right now on blueprinting the life of your dreams so we can work on your business and get the cash flowing to fund that lifestyle next week!

Until then, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Just comment on this post on my blog.

Are You Leaping to the Top?

Have you ever noticed that the issues you’ve been dealing with in your personal life are also the same issues that come up in business? Funny how that works!

The thing that struck me about this week’s quote is that it addresses an issue that keeps showing up in many people’s lives. I’ve heard it in several coaching sessions I’ve done in the last few weeks.

When you attempt to reach the top in a single leap it produces misery on two levels.

First, are you jumping over all the small things that are bumps in the road of life you would rather ignore than deal with? Are you under the belief that you only have to deal with the big obstacles that actually block your path?

I hope not, because if you are, instead of dealing with little inconveniences when they come up you could find yourself dealing with big challenges, like life threatening illnesses or bankruptcy. Remember, you always have a choice to pay attention to the signals you are receiving when they are small bumps in the road rather than waiting until the become boulders blocking your path.

Do you think you are being expedient to jump over all those little things by telling yourself that you have no fears?

Do you charge on despite those queasy feelings in your stomach?

Those feelings need to be listened to. They are telling you there is something making you uncomfortable about what you are doing. Stop and ask yourself why. Really look at it. Don’t just push through and do it anyway.

Ignoring the warning signals your body and your mind are giving you only leads to disaster. You can’t ignore the signals without them getting bigger and bigger until they are so big you have no choice but to deal with them.

I’m not telling you to stay in your fears. Of course you aren’t going to do that, but you are going to give them a fair and rational hearing. Then you can make an informed decision on what you want to do next rather than plowing through with your head buried in the sand or the clouds.

Secondly, ask yourself if you are trying to leap all the way to the top because you are a perfectionist?

What does that have to do with this?

When you think everything you do has to be perfect you don’t allow yourself to take the steps of being a work in progress.

Are you waiting to get started on something because you want to have all the pieces put together so you can do it all at once?

Are you waiting to have a new website for your business until you can do it right?
Are you waiting to write your book until you know exactly what is going to be in it?
Are you waiting to start your own business because you don’t know everything you need to know?
Are you waiting for the perfect time when you can just roll everything out in a perfect form like it has been that way all along?

These are all symptoms of perfectionism. I understand, you don’t want anyone to think you don’t know what you are doing. Being a work in progress takes a lot of self-confidence because it’s a very vulnerable place to be.

At the same time, if you try to do things in a single leap, misery is almost guaranteed. So, I am suggesting to you that you start whatever it is you have been postponing until you have all your ducks in a row. Put it out there, get feedback, work it and re-work it.

In the last 6 years my life has been quite a journey. I started out with an idea to write a book about women’s prosperity, which still hasn’t been written. That project took a turn and became “Change One Thing, Change your Life”. Things have taken many twists and turns since then between the personal and business development products and boot camps and summits I’ve created.

As far as I’m concerned they are completely intertwined. You can’t have true and lasting success in one area of your life without also being healthy and your version of balanced in the other.

I’ve made a lot of changes in my websites, my title, the different ways I provide services to you and the expanded focus of my business. I can assure you I will continue to evolve before your eyes. I am committed to bring you opportunities and other experts to help you do the same.

More and more great opportunities I want to share with you are coming to me all the time. I do my best to screen them and only send you the best of what I have access to. I see it as an obligation to keep you informed of any product or seminar that could improve your life and put money in your pocket.

If you would like personal mentoring, send me an email detailing what you would like help with. As your mentor I hold a bigger vision for you than you hold for yourself. When you have faith and a team that believes in you, it gives you courage. When you don’t have to do it all yourself, all things are possible for you. Commit today to go for your dream 100%.
