Is what you time doing different than what you thought was important to you?

What’s New
There’s been a lot of travel in my life this year. Since I came home from Maui on January 7th, I’ve been back to Maui for another week in February, made 2 more trips to Scottsdale, Laguna Beach, almost a week in hotels in San Diego and now I’m back in Scottsdale before going to Los Angeles.

I didn’t realize exactly how few days I’d been home this year, less than 10, until I sat down and looked for a task on my calendar. My whole life is on my calendar and I use it as a tool for many things. So this week’s article is about how to learn how to end over-commitment now.

If you missed the email that went out last Wednesday about “Women, Wine, Wealth and Wisdom” it generated a lot of interest and I’ve been interviewing potential members to select the group of exciting fun loving women who will be joining me in this program.

I’m almost through all of last week’s applicants so look for another email today or tomorrow if you’d like a shot at being part of this group. Registrations will be closing shortly.

Life happens, be ready for it.

Set your goals high enough that they require you to stretch your comfort zone and you’ll be amazed what you can achieve. Ask yourself, “What’s the one thing I can change this year to create the life of my dreams?”

Remember to join the conversation on my blog where you’ll also find each week’s ezine posted for your comments.

Our live Blueprints for Life closed door intensive starts tomorrow in San Diego so I’ll be heading down to my suite at the waterfront resort this afternoon. I’m so excited for the women who are attending because I know their lives never be the same after these three days.

There is no feeling like walking back in your front door after the weekend knowing you are not the person who left the house just a few days before and feeling that empowerment in every fiber of your being.

It’s so humbling for me to witness the transformations that occur when a student is open and ready for a shift in their life and/or in their business. It takes a brave person to show up and say I’m ready to step more fully into my power, show up in the world as my authentic self and tell my truth.

For most of us that’s a huge leap to take, so I’m really looking forward to meeting the amazing women who are about to take this journey.

Speaking of that, if you aren’t joining us live and haven’t registered to listen to the 4 Blueprints for Life teleseminars on replay go to:

I’m also just back from another Scottsdale/Maui/Scottsdale trip. I escaped the cold and rainy weather in Scottsdale and San Diego during the week I spent on Maui. I’m beginning to think I have weather ESP. It’s been a great winter of nothing but warm weather everywhere I go.

The week on Maui started with a relaxing weekend, another fabulous day at the Grand Wailea Spa and then a day of snorkeling with our mastermind before settling down to some serious work. I had a couple aha moments about my own business and you’ll be hearing more about that next week.

For a very small number of you I will be extending an invitation to spend some personal time with me and have a lot of fun doing what I enjoy most, but I can’t tell you any more yet. But if my life sounds fun to you, stay tuned.

The reason there was no ezine last week was because I actually sit down on Thursday morning and write from whatever inspiration strikes me at the moment. Last week while on Maui I made the decision to not get online, so there was no ezine.

I Just Took a Walk With a Bull Sea Lion

Today was my first day back to my regular afternoon beach walk since I got back from the holidays on Maui and what a walk it turned out to be!

One of the reasons I live at the beach is because I am drawn to the ocean. I normally walk for an hour every day. Today shortly after I turned and started back and my iPod switched from Slightly Stoopid to Foo Fighters, I saw something out of the corner of my eye.

So I stopped and watched for a few seconds.  The sun was in my eyes but I didn’t think what I had seen was one of the seagulls floating on the water so I scanned for another minute and then I saw him.

I’ve lived on the ocean for so many years in places with lots of activity, like Cabo San Lucas where there’s always something to see in the water. So I’ve trained my eyes to always be scanning.

This bull sea lion was so close into shore that I couldn’t believe nobody else saw him. Three different times surfers were within feet of him and didn’t see him.

Two surfers were heading out and he was thrashing around feeding a few feet away and they were oblivious.

The sea lion stopped to eat twice as we strolled up the beach together. I couldn’t believe how close in he stayed and how he swam slow enough that I could walk along with him.

Then he started playing in the waves and I saw how long he was as the sun lit up the wave from behind. I thought he was huge from the size of his head and he was. It was so cool to see him all stretched out inside the wave. Then a few minutes later he did what looked like a somersault in another wave and I was so excited to watch him play, I heard myself talking out loud over my iPod saying, “Wow, that’s so cool!”

I was grinning ear to ear as I turned around to see if anyone else was seeing what I was seeing, but there was nobody there but me.

I spent almost an hour walking with him, going 5 minutes past the stairs to my house and then all of a sudden he turned around and we started to walk back. As we got back by my stairs a dog started pulling his owner into the surf, he smelled him. And as the dog went back and forth in the surf trying to get further into the water, the sea lion dove and he didn’t come back up.

I waited a few minutes after the dog left to see if he was going to re-join me, but no. When I got to the top of the stairs and had a perspective high above the waves, I didn’t see anything but surfers out there. He was gone. But we had walked together for almost an hour and it reminded me yet again of why I live at the beach.

You Can Create Your Own Products and Be the Guru

I was just reading Jerry’s comment on the “3 Ways to Position Yourself” post below and he commented on how he could relate to the story of the woman who came into my program thinking she had one passion and it turned out she had one that was much bigger and way more lucrative and also my ability to “see” what she couldn’t. You can read the rest of his comment with that post, but he ended by asking what services offer to, in his words, “help me identify and implement action that can get me going in pursuit of a gratifying and fulfilling vocation.”

To answer Jerry’s question. A place to start on the low end would be getting my book on Amazon y clicking on the cover on this blog site. That’s not the fastest way to make things happen and if you’re the kind of person that does better when someone’s holding you accountable, which most people do, there are other options.

I do have different ways I work with people depending on how quickly you want to get things accomplished. I think the best way is always to show up at a location, spend a couple days together and just get it done. No more talking about it, just do it. I do that as a small group closed door intensive, but not on a regular schedule, and I don’t have another one planned. I also do a limited amount of private mentoring clients at $1500 a month with weekly sessions for a 3 month minimum.

One reason this is such a hot topic is that most of the gurus teaching product creation are really teaching packaging and marketing of a product-not creation, so if you don’t already have your topic and your content nailed down, what are you going to do with what you learn at one of those $5000 weekends?

I’m not going to name names, since a lot of these gurus are my friends, but I know many people who start at the part where you already have whatever it is you’re going to be selling all ready to go. Why? Because they don’t know how to teach you to find ‘your topic’, not just ‘a topic’. They don’t know how to draw real content out of you, out of your passion. In fact a lot of these guys, and I don’t hold this against them, because it’s not what they’re an expert at, but they tell you to create content by just interviewing a bunch of people!

That’s not your content! It doesn’t do anything to position you as an expert, and this whole Napoleon Hill was a reporter and made his fortune by interviewing other people is a cop out. You’ve got great content inside you, now you just need to get it out. And your content will be so much more powerful than simply interviewing other people. If you’re going to build a following, it’s because of who you are and what you have to teach, not because you know how to ask question on the phone. Anybody can do that.

The post Jerry commented on resonated with several people who emailed me and didn’t post a comment, and I answer those emails by asking them to post a comment so everyone can benefit from the answer to their questions because that’s the only way I can answer. There just isn’t enough time for me to answer everyone individually, sorry. I get plenty of comments like “It must be meant to be because you really spoke to me!!”, and one woman who said if I would organize a live event in the Bay area to teach everything I’ve been talking about, she would get at least 10 people there.

I love to teach and if I had time I would blog and answer your questions all day long, but I have other projects. I’m actually doing a small mentoring group at my home this weekend, the last event before I move to Maui the middle of the month. I may consider doing a live event over the summer if you’re really serious about taking action and not only discovering your passion, but also allowing me to help you consciously design your life blueprint so you can live the life of your dreams, because personally, I don’t see any reason to live any other way. And then together we’ll create what your product line will be and what your business is going to look like and I’ll teach you the sales and communication skills you need to make your business a success.

Well, that’s what I would teach if I was going to do this and I’m not kidding, this isn’t a marketing ploy, I really don’t know if I can fit it into my schedule before Women’s Business Empowerment Summit in August, given the fact that I’m just moving to Hawaii. If I do decide I can do it, is there anything else you’d want to learn or does what I’ve said about cover it?

How do you juggle all the different projects in your life?

Things are very busy for me right now.  How about you?  Spring is a time for cleaning out the old and welcoming in the new.

In the next couple weeks I have a lot going on.  I’m doing an event at my home, 2 book signings, my birthday and moving to Maui.  Did I mention I have a lot of packing to do?

I’m turning 52 and every year I wonder if this will be the last year I’m happy about how old I am. I know a lot of women my age don’t like to broadcast their age, but I look at each year as gained wisdom and a rite of passage so I like to announce it.

I feel great, I’m happy with the way I look, the way my life is unfolding and I’m excited to see what the next year will bring.  Speaking of looks, this may sound really strange, but ever since I made the decision to move to Maui, I swear lines on my face are going away.  Could it be stress relief?

I’ll let you know the locations of book signings next week so you can come and see me if you’re in AZ.

I’m holding a small closed door intensive at my house teaching people turn their passion into cash by first discovering what that is, then consciously designing the blueprint for the life of their dreams and looking at how their business fits into that plan.

If you ever wondered how I do so many things at the same time with very little help, and keep my sanity, come and join us.  I can fit a couple more people.  There’s no sales page for this because I decided to do it during a special bonus call for people who had ordered my Turning Passion Into Cash CD and I wanted it to be strictly on the basis of it resonating with you, not a sales pitch.
