Are You Doing What You’re Here To Do?

Do you ever hear yourself thinking…

* I wish I had the clarity and focus successful people have that are making tons of money

* If I could get out of this state of overwhelm, I know I’d begin making the money I deserve

* If I could relax and just be me and have my business flow easily, I’d be happy

* I really deserve to have more fun, time and freedom in my life

* I wish I knew for sure who I am and what I’m here for so I can get on with my purpose

* I need a better plan, I just feel stuck

If you’ve EVER had ANY of these thoughts, if you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then I have some good news and…

I Do Have a Bit of Bad News…

The information I am going to REVEAL at Empowered Women’s Business Summit, information that previously has only been shared with my small groups who pay $6,000 or my private one on one clients who pay $20,000, will flip a lot of your perceptions right on their ear and could make you more than a little upset with some of the stuff you were led to believe in the past.

But I Also Have Some Really Great News for You…

Because in the space of 3 short days, July 31-August 2, in Las Vegas, I am teaching at a depth I have never had the time or opportunity to do in the past 5 years of this summit. YOU will have access to all of the processes, strategies and techniques for how to create the life and business you’ve always hoped to have RIGHT NOW!

You will go crashing through the barriers that have been slowing you down and sabotaging your success up to now. And we start off with a bang on Day 1 as I reveal the single ingredient to breaking any barrier-in your life or your business.

This single ingredient has not only been the key for me, but everyone I’ve ever worked with in the last 30 years and every multi-millionaire and every happy, aligned, and successful person I’ve ever met or studied. Yes, it is that powerful and that universal…and it is that simple.

IMPORTANT! I’ve mentioned before that the knowledge you will walk away with after these 3 days has the power to transform every area of your life. I want you to know that I mean this from the soul of my being. This is not a
marketing ploy and this is not hype. It is fact!

In fact, my 3 special guest faculty members, including Dr. Fern Kazlow, and 2 others you will learn about shortly, have also agreed as a condition of their being invited to this summit, to reveal their personal secrets to success ( and a couple bumps in the road we’ve traversed) at the same level of depth I will be sharing with you.

Most of what we are about to reveal at Empowered Women’s Business Summit is so powerful that some clients have seen a major up-leveling of their lifestyle in a matter of weeks after learning these strategies and techniques. ALL feel more aligned and powerful and at peace.

Some clients have had big ticket opportunities land right in their laps. And some clients have opened so fully to receiving financial abundance that their income has increased dramatically with no major effort on their part.

What could happen for you? One of these? All of these? More?

The SAD FACT is that if you don’t reserve your seat for the summit quickly, the answer will likely be none of these.

http://www.WomensBusinessEmpowermentSummit.com

The FABULOUS NEWS for you is that I like things simple and easy, so everything you’ll learn at Empowered Women’s Business Summit will be exactly that-simply and easy. So if one of the beliefs you have is that to get what you want you have to work hard and do things that you don’t love…get ready to bust through that myth!

You know I’m all about systems and blueprints, so of course I am going to make sure you are taken by the hand, step-by-step through every session of this intimate summit. I also believe in group participation and interaction, so get ready to be involved and an active participant in 3 days of creating your life and your business exactly as you want it to be!

Want to know how I’m able to travel and take lots of time off whenever I want, while still running my business and creating programs and events and meeting with private clients-with no staff?

I won’t make you wait for the summit to get the answer to that question. I’ll tell you right now. It’s because I have a blueprint for my life and my business that allows me to create and live my entire life exactly the way I chose…

and you’ll create your own blueprint at the summit that you’ll be able to put into action on Monday morning! Really. I know after all the time you’ve spent struggling it’s hard to believe you could put it all together in an actionable plan in 3 days, but I do it with clients all the time. Remember? Simple & easy!

At this completely brand new, updated, up close and personal 6th year of the summit, everything has been restructured to serve you more completely. Hey, this was a complete overhaul, not just a simple name change from Empowerment to Empowered.

Back to you…

Would you like a plan for building a business that could be described as a Lamborghini?

Just like a Lamborghini, sleek and sophisticated, powerful and sexy. It runs so smoothly and flies down the road so effortlessly.

The entire summit flows like your own personal blueprint, so you can create your own Lamborghini of a business. An easy to follow step-by-step process for building your new and improved life that will have you flying down the highway to success and happiness.

The flow of the summit was created with you in mind, to take you from A-Z in a logical progression as each module builds from one to the next.

======================================================
Day 1: BREAKING THROUGH BLOCKS AND CREATING YOUR LIFE BLUEPRINT

*Are you living your passion and life purpose?

*Are you currently living the life of your dreams?

*Is your passion and life purpose exactly what you’re doing to earn a living?

*Are you laser focused working through your personal step-by-step blueprint for your life?

*Are you being paid well to share your passion with others?

If you can’t say absolutely yes to all of these questions, you need to do whatever is necessary to clear your schedule and get to Empowered Women’s Business Summit! BOOK YOUR SEAT RIGHT NOW!

This is the foundation of a successful life and a prosperous business. You will learn exactly how to turn all of your no’s into yes in day 1.

And so you know where the money’s coming from to fund this great lifestyle, we’ll work on product development to turn your passion into cash!

Hey, if you’re a coach or consultant or any kind of service provider, there’s only so many hours you can bill. It’s time to create some passive income, don’t you think?

======================================================

Day 2: HOW TO GET PAID BIG TIME FOR WHAT YOU ALREADY DO

After being a sales trainer for 25 years and then for the last 6 years helping people just like you create their own programs, products and events, I guarantee you that you are leaving a huge amount of money on the table. In
fact you’re doing it in so many ways that are simple to correct, I can’t even list them all here.

And to make things even worse, you’re also losing clients to your competitors who are begging for more of what you don’t have to offer because you haven’t or don’t know how to create it. Remember? Simple & easy.

In today’s economy you don’t want to be looked at as a commodity for your client’s to price shop on, do you?

You’ll learn how to create a power brand, not just a brand. You’re going to learn how to create the story and the sales process that is the foundation of everything you do in your entire business, including all your marketing materials.

The skill of conveying your message to your prospective clients in the most impactful way is crucial to your success. I will teach you a sales and communication process that flows from you in a natural and comfortable, yet powerful way. It’s what I call “Conscious Sales and Soft Power”.

And you’ll discover how to position yourself as a recognized expert in your industry in a very short period of time.

I’ll even talk about how you can get your book published by a New York publisher before the year ends…even if you don’t even know what it’s going to be about yet.

PART 3: SYSTEMS TO BRING IN THE BIG BUCKS AND STILL HAVE A LIFE

This is the piece where so many otherwise brilliant entrepreneurs are missing. Having all the pieces is one thing, putting them all together in the right order and in the right place is something completely different.

The systems you’ll be learning today are for every part of your business and it’s all about giving you the flexibility and freedom to have a life without giving up the cash.

You’ll learn the most efficient and dare I say, cheapest, way of getting things done. You’ll also learn what you can get someone else to do for you.

We’ll wrap everything up and you’ll be leaving with the whole enchilada ready to go on Monday morning.

http://www.WomensBusinessEmpowermentSummit.com

======================================================

IMPORTANT NOTE:
I don’t like to talk about other people, but there are plenty of people out there these days that talk about helping you live your passion and the life of your dreams. How long have they been living theirs?

I think that’s an important question, because it speaks to their ability to sustain what they are building and enjoying now, and their qualification to teach you.

Most of them worked their you know what off for years, had no life, and then when they made enough money to buy a lifestyle, they suddenly became experts. Writing a check to pay for ‘big boy toys’ and being able to create it are 2 different things. Writing a check is not expertise.

The reason I’m uniquely qualified to mentor you and why you should be attending this summit is because I have…

*30+ Years studying human behavior-what makes people do what they do and what makes them change

*30+ Years of helping people create a blueprint for their life

*25+ Years in the trenches in Sales/Marketing

* 8 Years creating my own and clients product lines, teleseminar courses, live events, coaching programs, interview show

*Rolodex to connect you with the top people in any area of help you need, where someone other than myself is your best choice

Here’s the CRITICAL POINT:

I have lived and breathed everything I am teaching at the summit for a very long time. This isn’t just a hot topic for me. I was talking about discovering your passion and that being the focus of the information products you create
when all the big gurus were telling me I needed to switch my topic because the only thing people wanted to do was find the next big keywords and build a product to make a quick buck.

They’ve all hopped on the bandwagon in the last couple years. So the next time you hear gurus talking about building a business on your true passion and talking about lifestyle, for the year, or two or three they’ve had it; ask yourself if it just looks like more hype or do they really live it? Because some do and some don’t.

If you want to work with a woman who has had experience over the long haul in every possible economic condition, had a great life, not only survived but thrived, come to the summit and I’ll teach you how to build real, soul based success for a lifetime.

======================================================

I’m not going to entice you with any special promotion that runs out tomorrow. The summit speaks for itself and frankly, the pricing on it right now is ridiculously low because I know many of you are having a difficult time and I don’t want that to stop you from attending.

Besides that, the 4 payment program is still in place. That should show you how strongly I believe in the program, you’ll attend the summit before you’ve paid for it. This will go away soon, though.

And right now you can bring a business partner, a spouse or a colleague with you for free.

How to Live Like a Millionaire Before You Are One

Popular belief is that you need to make big money first and then that allows you to buy the great lifestyle. And, of course, lots of money buys lots of things.

But, it’s equally true that by consciously designing your life before you have all that cash, you can start living large right now. One of the reasons this is possible is because there are several factors to creating your ideal lifestyle, beyond money, that you have influence over right now where you are today.

For more than 30 years I have been consciously creating the blueprint for my life and helping others do the same. Over that long period of time the economics of my life have shifted from time to time, like most people’s have.

The one thing that has been consistent is my lifestyle. There were times, like 1981 when I lived in Ft. Myers, FL and the real estate economy tanked. All the real estate sales I had pending collapsed and so did my income. And yet event though I wasn’t working for a few months I was going to Long Boat Key in Sarasota, staying at a luxury resort and drinking Dom Perignon at the Long Boat Key Club most nights.

And I was 25 years old! I’m not telling you this to brag, I want to make a point.

Inspiration: Inside Out or Outside In?

Where does inspiration come from? You may know that inspiration means to be in spirit or one with your higher being, but have you thought beyond that?

I was thinking about it just this morning; about the things that inspire us from the outside as opposed to the inspiration we find within ourselves.

Is inspiration from the outside really voyeuristic inspiration?

Are we really inspired by what we witness someone else achieve or even attempt? Or is it that we feel good in that moment, maybe count our blessing, and then in a few minutes go back to our regular routine.

So how do you feel when you see something you  describe as inspirational? Does it translate to inspirational action on your part?

What’s New


The Empowered Women’s Business Summit ’09
site goes live today and for a limited time you can get your ticket for this year’s event at 2/3 off!

http://WomensBusinessEmpowermentSummit.com

I don’t think there’s a year I’ve been this excited about the summit since the first year I created it.

Why?

Because I’ve completed re-created it this year to serve you better. So if you’ve attended before and thought you learned a lot, implemented  the ton of notes you took, you haven’t seen anything yet!

Be prepared for a whole lot more personal engagement, ten times the fun (hey, we are in Vegas), and a hundred times more benefit in terms of practical, immediately useful knowledge that you can apply while you’re still at the summit to transform every area of your life. And I really do mean every area of your life.

So, congratulations to those of you that took advantage of last week’s special offer of an even deeper discount before the new site was live. You were definitely rewarded for your quick action. The current early bird pricing will also be short lived, so grab your seat now.

As I mentioned last week, more has changed than just the name.
Instead of having 12 or more faculty members, this has switched from being a multin-speaker event to an intensive where I will be teaching for 3 days with just a couple other faculty members adding their specific expertise I believe will help you move forward.

I will take you through every step of creating your life and your business exactly the way you want it to be. Because, as an empowered woman (or man, you are welcome to attend), you know that it takes more than another new business strategy to create and sustain a successful business and certainly a fulfilling life.

I really do love doing these kinds of intensives because it allows us to connect and go in depth on your particular life and business so much more than the multi-speaker style event does. So get ready because for the first time in this type of environment I’m going to share the process I regularly take my $6000 group mentoring students and $20,000 private clients through.

And by attending the summit, it’s available to you at only a fraction of the usual investment.

So go and grab your seat right now at
http://WomensBusinessEmpowermentSummit.com

Even if you’ve been to the site recently, when you fill in your info now it will put you into the group to be notified for this year’s teleseminar series.

We’re going to Vegas, Baby! Get ready to party like a rock star and take your business through the roof in ’09.

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.

Identity Crisis-You and American Idol Contestants

Every week more than 30,000,000 watch American Idol and call or text in their votes. I don’t know how many people actually watch, but I’m one who watches every year and has never even considered picking up the phone and voting, so I would say there’s probably 10 times or 100 times more people watching than voting.

But the bigger message and what I want to focus on today is the message about being clear and focused. What, you’ve heard me talk about this before?

Ok, it’s not just me that sees this as a major stumbling block to success. The Idol judges are telling the contestants the same thing, week after week. They just use different words.

But the message is the same whether I’m delivering it to you or the judges are saying it to the contestants. So take look and see if you, or someone you should forward this article to, show up in any of these scenarios.

1. Sometimes it’s a matter of a talented singer who hasn’t realized inside themselves how talented they are and it’s sad to see their lack of clarity send them home when they had so much unrealized potential. Everyone of the judges see it, they try to tell them, but eventually the viewers side with the contestant and agree they really aren’t good enough and another passion goes unfulfilled as the signer is sent packing.

2. Other times it’s a case of trying to show that they have diverse talents. This loss of focus on who he/she really is leaves the judges saying it’s the wrong type of song because the singer fits so much better in a different genre-but they can’t decide, can’t focus, and want to play all over the musical landscape. So their talent gets lost in the shuffle along with their clarity and focus of who she/he really is.

3. Or a contestant who stated out as a powerhouse turns into a karaoke performer because of being so concerned with being part of the herd and moving along safely that she/he doesn’t take a chance. They play it safe and stop being the stand out they really deep down know they are. Maybe he/she even forgets how powerful they really are if they play it safe long enough.

Listening to 4 different judges (or mentors) each giving you contradicting opinions on where they think you should focus your energy also leads to confusion and lack of clarity.

As you see evidenced on Idol every week, even 4 people in the same business sitting at the same table can’t come to a consensus on what the best course of action is for a contestant.

So the contestant has to have enough alignment within themselves (read clarity & focus) to be able to hear what fits for them and let the rest go.

Otherwise it leads to confusion and a talented piano player show up playing a guitar, confuses their fan base as to who he really is and goes home the next night. It could have just as easily been an early strong contender who has played it safe too long who left instead.

Where do you find yourself showing up in one or more of these scenarios?
And what are you going to do about it?

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

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.

Can You Have Your Attention, Please?

Yes, you read that right. I’m asking you to give yourself your attention.

Attention is a tricky thing.

Your attention can drift off without you even being consciously aware when you’re not really interested in something.

You can pay attention to varying degrees depending on your involvement.

You can even pay attention to the wrong things altogether!

Or you can focus your attention with great intensity and produce tremendous results with possibly less effort than you expend in any of those other levels of attention I just pointed out.

What is the effect of scattered attention?

Scattered attention is how most people spend the majority of their time. It leads to overwhelm. It leads to lack of clarity, otherwise known as confusion. And it definitely results in a lack of focus.

The power of focused attention should not be underestimated. Just look at what a kid with a magnifying glass can do with a simple piece of paper and a little help from the sun. Did you ever do that experiment when you were a kid, burning a hole in a piece of paper?

As a child you may have been amazed that it was possible considering you were also out there in that same sun and yet it didn’t burn a hole through you or the piece of paper sitting right next to the one you just burnt a hole in.

I’m sure your science teacher explained that it’s all about harnessing the power of the sun by focusing it’s rays through the magnifying glass.

Well it works the same way with your thoughts.

When your thoughts and your energy are scatter, over here one minute and over there the next, there is no power. Your actions may seems to form a pattern of activity that looks productive, but in terms of a big picture they are random and leading nowhere.

The best use of your attention is not on multi-tasking either.

Despite popular opinion to the contrary, it is apparent to almost anyone you speak to on the phone when you’re multi-tasking. And there have been plenty of studies that show you have diminished capacity in all the task you do when you multi-task-no matter how proud you may be of your ability to do it.

Here’s the bottom line…

You have the power to have anything you want in your life by using that same power of focused energy as the kid with the magnifying glass. Your brain is already set up to work this way and your sub-conscious has been waiting for you to get it together and figure out what you really want it to do for you!

By getting clear about who you really are, what you’re here to do and what you choose to do about it, you have the ability to create a blueprint for your life. The most amazing life you are capable of dreaming of right now today.

You may need a little help pulling it all together. If so, I’d be glad to help you, that’s what I do.

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

This week’s article answers another listener’s question from our Blueprints for Life teleseminars.  Between the 3 calls and the ezine articles I’ve written since we started this topic in December, I’ve answered the basis of every question that’s come in to our survey, including the most recent one which is today’s article.

After the Super Bowl on Sunday I’m off to Scottsdale for a few days and then to  Maui for a while. I’m debating whether to get a spray tan so I’m not so white. Right now only my arms and feet are tan so I’d look strange in a bathing suit.

Last week I mentioned that Barack Obama is wasting no time declaring that things are going to shift in this country and the way we show up in the world. He’s not waiting for anyone’s permission to do it. He’s taking charge and making decisions for the good of this country with consideration for the good of the world.

He went to Capital Hill and talked to Republicans to try to get their support and in the end they didn’t give it, but he moved forward anyway. You can’t always wait for other people to see things your way before you make a change.

Just like the president, there will be hard choices to make in your life and sometimes you will be alone in your decision…and you still have to make one. Always go with what feels right to you and not what a poll tells you to do.

Are you doing that in your own life? I certainly hope you have a plan you’re following. If you would like help creating your blueprint, make a plan now to create your Blueprint for Life with me in San Diego Feb. 20-22nd.

3 Simple Steps to Success

People often ask me how to keep looking forward and maintain a great feeling about their dream and not be distracted by where they are now.

Three simple steps in this question are the key to your success in anything you do.

If you don’t have the clarity of a laser focused dream followed up by a solid step by step process that allows you to focus on exactly how you’re going to make it a reality, it will most likely never happen.

So let’s break it down.

Yes, you have to keep looking forward. What that means is stop living in the past. Stop judging today’s performance and today’s abilities by what you did in the past.

If you are a life long learner, you are not the same person you were yesterday or a week ago because every day you are learning and growing. So what you were capable of last week or last month should have no bearing on what you are capable of today.

That’s assuming that you did something to increase your understanding of whatever held you back before.

If you are one of those people that thinks you can keep doing what you’ve always done and that somehow you miraculously will figure out how to get a better result, it isn’t going to happen.

Which brings us to the second part of the question; maintaining a great feeling about your dream.

This is accomplished by taking personal responsibility. Despite what you may believe about the law of attraction, there’s action that is required on your part for manifestation to occur.

To feel great about anything you have to have a feeling inside yourself that you’ve done everything you can to increase the probability of the result you desire.

That means you’ve learned from what didn’t work last time. You’ve recognized where you need help and you’ve gone out to get it. Whether that means reading a book, going through a course, getting personal mentoring or attending a live event.

Now you know you are equipped to the best of your ability to confidently move forward toward your dream knowing you’re doing everything you can on your side to make it a reality.

The third part, not be distracted by where you are now, is easy!

If you’ve done everything in the first two parts you will be so focused on what you need to do next to get where you’re going that you won’t have time to be distracted. You’ll be too busy following your blueprint and taking the next step and then the next one after that.

So use this as a checklist and if you find yourself distracted, go back to steps one and two and look at what you’re not doing today to get you where you want to be tomorrow.

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

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%.

You’ve Got What You Asked For

These days so many people in our society are unhappy. They are dissatisfied with their job, their financial situation, their love life, their body; some would say all of the above!

Do you know the saying “wherever you go, there you are”? Even though you always take yourself wherever you go you do have a choice of who you’ll be when you get there.

Here’s something to think about.

If you don’t realize you are doing exactly what you want to be doing in each moment or you would be doing something else, then you are not being honest with yourself.

Because you have received in your life exactly what your thoughts have focused on, meaning-you’ve got what you asked for.

I can hear you getting mad at me right now and arguing that you would never wish for whatever the situation is you’re unhappy with right now.

You may think you don’t want to work where you work or be in the relationship you’re in etc., but if that were really true you would be doing something to change the situation. There is always another choice if you want to look for it. The reality is it’s easier to have things remain the same.

Ouch!

The simple fact is that sometimes the devil you know is better than the promise of this ethereal success and happiness you can’t quite put your finger on…or at least that’s what your ego mind would like you to believe so you stay right where you are in life.

But you’re not going to let your ego fool you like that, are you?

Your brain is always processing information and making choices sub-consciously. This is true with simple things like which hand to use to pick something up or which way to turn all the way up to the most complicated processes.

You use the same process to decide how to spend your time. Change the criteria your brain uses to make decisions and you’ll change the choices you make. Your personal manifesto and the plan you create from your goals, along with the blueprint for life you’ve created, will give your brain the input it needs to change your processing criteria.

What are the criteria you use to make your choices?

Have you ever thought about it before? It goes back to looking at who you see yourself as and what you told yourself about your life up until this point. Once you have that information, you can look at what is true and work towards what you want to achieve. Eliminate or replace everything else.

It’s like spring-cleaning your living space and then going up into the attic and going through all the stuff you didn’t even remember you had. Some of the stuff you realize you want to bring out and use. Other things you throw away because you don’t want them anymore. Now do the same spring-cleaning with your mind.

Action Step:
Spring Clean your Mind

One area I did a major spring-cleaning in several years ago that made a significant difference in my life was my image of my worthiness as a friend.

When I went up into the attic of my brain, the stuff I found there was really old. I had been judging myself by criteria a child had set up! How ridiculous is that?

So I looked at every piece of information and where it started. Does it fit who I am today or is this not true about me?

What I noticed was that I had taken the facts of my life and came to some erroneous conclusions. The facts were that I only had one friend at a time when I was young, I was ill a lot as a child and missed school, and because I grew up moving quite often, I was always the new kid. You get the picture.

I took these facts, let my 7 year old brain draw the conclusions and somehow decided I wasn’t meant to have friends, I wasn’t worthy of people liking me, and it didn’t pay to have friends anyway because I was always moving. So for the next 20 years or so, I lived with this as my criteria I filtered everything through to make decisions about friendship.

There were some good things I uncovered in the attic when I took a look at what was really true about me.

People thought I was funny and fun to be around. So I brought out the fun and funny part of me. I also found I had buried the fact that people thought I was interesting and they enjoyed talking to me and getting my advice. So I dusted that off and brought it out.

When I finished my spring–cleaning, I had released a lot of old misinformation about myself. I swept out the attic and took the parts I liked and brought them downstairs to be a part of who I was. Everything else I threw away. That allowed me to be a good friend and let people into my life.

I now remembered the truth about me. I am funny and fun to be with. I am interesting and people like spending time with me. This spring-cleaning cleared the path for me to develop some great and long lasting friendships that have gone far beyond me living in the same state or even the same country where we became friends. I no longer was operating with outdated criteria for deciding who I am.

You can use this process to redefine any area of your life that isn’t at the level you would like it to be. You can actually picture yourself going up into your attic and looking at any aspect of your life. When you do this, all your core beliefs about this part of yourself will become clear.

Action Step:
Study Successful People

Study other successful people and see what choices they made to get where they are today. When you choose a mentor, really follow them. Read what they write, listen to their calls, buy their products, attend their live events and sign up for their mentoring groups.

Don’t take this lightly. If you want to grow and expand in your life and your business you must seriously follow in the foot steps of your mentors.

Pay attention to the choices they had in their life and how they decided which path to take. As you read and gain more knowledge, think about what you would do to get to the same place even faster. Ask for help.

One of the choices I would recommend you make is to have balance in your life. It makes all of your other choices clearer. Balance is what makes your life work. I’m not talking in terms of scales being balanced, I’m talking about alignment. Your personal balance that feels right to you.

You can live with your life severely out of alignment, but you won’t be happy. Your successes will seem strangely unfulfilling, and you won’t know why. It’s totally up to you what you choose to have in your life. Choose wisely. And, ask for help when you need it. I’m here for you!

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

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%.

What’s New
This week’s article answers another listener’s question from our Blueprints for Lifepreview teleseminars that I didn’t have time to answer live on the call.

Speaking of that, if you haven’t registered for tonight’s Blueprints for Life teleseminar go to:

I’m getting ready to pick up a friend from the airport this morning so I needed to get this out to you a little early today.  Then tomorrow I’m off to San Francisco for a weekend with Marianne Williamson. And then back Monday to spend the day with a friend in town. It’s a busy time in San Diego, everyone wants out of the cold weather!

I’m happy to say that I just off to Maui again in February, the holidays just weren’t long enough for me. I think this time I’ll try to get a tan.

We’re only 2 weeks into the year and your thoughts are probably on doing, doing, doing. But what about building a stronger foundation than the one that got you to where you ended last year?

It’s a good time to do a review of what worked in 2008 and what needs to be improved. A stronger, broader foundation is required the higher you build, so the tools and strategies that got you to where you are now may not be capable of getting you where you want to go this year.

You have a full eleven and a half months left to make this your best year ever. What can you do today to make that happen?

What kind of changes have you seen in your life already this year? Is your year on track to go according to your plan? I certainly hope you have a plan. If not, make a plan now to create your Blueprint for Life with me in San Diego Feb. 20-22nd.

http://LynnPierce.com/ebff.html

I believe life is an adventure and adventures involve change. If your life is like mine, there are always changes going on. Things are always coming up that are unexpected.

In the last few months I’ve moved to San Diego, furnished a new place, had a fall full of travel and speaking engagements from one end of the country to the other and back again. Thank God I have the flexibility to do it, because I love to travel!

If it wasn’t for the blueprint I created for my life, it would have been easy for me to get sidetracked by all these things. Instead it was just a matter of looking at what I absolutely needed to get done to achieve my goals and what could wait until later.

Life happens, be ready for it. Click on the link below and get started creating a vision for your life, a plan for your future, your Blueprint for Life.

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?”
