Count Your Blessings

Happy Holidays to you, dear friend!

Take a moment, right now, to reflect on all the wonderful things that found their way to you over the past year. (I bet there are thousands.)

Think of the lessons you learned, the unexpected opportunities that came your way and the people you met who changed your life for the better.

Think about the things you created, the experiences that enriched you and the beautiful things you learned about yourself.

Whether this year was your best yet, felt like a stumbling block or was the starting point of something new, I know, without a doubt, that it delivered you the precise lessons, people and insights that you needed.

Trust the timing of your life. Trust that it's unfolding just as it's supposed to.

For the first time since August of 2012 (when this message went out to just 65 people!), I am doing something I've never done before -- well actually 2 things I've never done before.

First, I'm sharing a special holiday message with you in song. I love singing and was always a part of singing groups, choirs and a cappella groups when I was growing up, but it's something I've never shared with you.

And, the second thing, this will be the last time you hear from me.......until 2016. After this greeting reaches you, I encourage you (just as I will be doing) to take some time off from your habitual to-dos to savor the splendidness of the holidays. Check your emails a little less, put your phone on silent (or turn it off!), let your to-do list sit for a few days, and simply enjoy this lovely season. Give yourself that gift. (And, we'll resume our weekly interludes on Wednesday, January 6th.)

Listen to your special holiday message below.

Download your Numbered Guide to Gratitude here. It will only take you a few minutes to complete and will enable you to clearly see the profound gifts, opportunities and lessons that 2015 offered you.

Then, when we return in 2016, you and I will be ready to get started because we'll have replenished ourselves. At that point, if you want to create your clear and thoughtful roadmap to success, let's chat.

Sending you love + wishes for a joyous holiday season!

A Gift for You - My Favorite Meditation Practice

I promised you last week that I would share more details of my favorite meditation with you.

This is the meditation I do nearly every morning, and it has had a profound impact on me personally and professionally. Some benefits being...feeling all-around happier, more grounded, and more successful, as well as feeling aligned with my creativity, innate potential and purpose.

In short, it’s a winner.

As a pre-holiday gift for you, I want to share this practice which has been so meaningful and transformative for me.

I’ve recorded a version of this meditation for you to enjoy. It’s only 8 minutes in length and will leave you feeling calm, clear and confident in your abilities to become the very best version of yourself both professionally and personally.

Unwrap the Purpose-full Self Meditation HERE.

Meditations work best (as do all personal development tools) when they are practiced.

My suggestion?

Give yourself the gift of 8 minutes of daily calm, quiet time. We ALL can give 8 minutes of time to ourselves. We all have that choice.

From now until the new year, I invite you to sit with me each day. Give yourself that gift! You deserve it.

Let’s ring in 2016 feeling powerful, purpose-full and full of potential!

Harness The Power of Community for Lasting Change

There is a special kind of magic that occurs when people come together with a common goal.

There’s an undeniable energy that is generated when passionate, visionary people embark on parallel journeys.

There’s a reason why masterminds are so effective, why teams can rally together to win championships, and why motivated groups of people can start a revolution.

There is power in numbers.

I want to harness that power to help YOU build the business of your dreams!

And, THAT is precisely why I’m hosting the *free* Mindset Reset Challenge.

This is a 5-day challenge to help you start living your fullest potential in community with others who are ready to do the same.

During the Mindset Reset Challenge, I’ll be sharing my favorite teachings and tools for resetting your mindset in order to realize your fullest potential, own it and live it every day in your life and business.

So, if you’re struggling to make money doing what you love;

If your business feels like a lot of work, but you aren’t seeing the results you desire;

If the clients aren’t there, and you don’t know where to find them;

If you feel stuck, unsure, stressed, frustrated or unmotivated…

This challenge is FOR YOU.

Starting Monday, November 16th, I’ll be sharing a short, actionable teaching that will help you embrace a successful mindset and live in a place of potential, possibility and action.

I guarantee that this challenge is unlike other business challenges you’ve seen out there.

I’m not going to share list building gimmicks, Facebook ad tips or email marketing techniques. There are countless freebies out there that’ll teach out all that stuff.

This 5-day event is about tapping into your innate potential, embracing the success that is destined to be YOURS, aligning with your purpose and becoming unstoppable so that all that you already know and the work you’re doing becomes more effortless and more effective!

If that sounds like a YES! to you, I invite you to join me for this 5-day journey.

HOT List - November 2015

This is a big month for me. I'm turning 30 on November 19th.

I'm really excited for this next decade. My 20s were great, but there were a lot of rough patches, too.

I spent 7 years trying to figure out "my thing" without anything really working. I had moments when I was riddled with self-doubt, left questioning myself, my business, everything. I was naive and thought things should happen faster. But, I'm beginning to realize as I approach this next phase that the lessons I've learned were necessary and needed, and every "detour" was an essential one to bring me to this moment. Here with you.

There were, of course, ridiculously wonderful highs both personally and professionally, as well.

I married my amazingly supportive husband, our beautiful daughter was born, and I'm now so much more confident and clear in my business. A kind of confidence that I didn't even realize existed 5 or 10 years ago.

Overnight successes rarely exist. What we don't see are the years and years of dedication, the work, the highs and the lows. Do not get down on yourself if you're not where you thought you'd be in your business or in your life at this moment in time. This moment is just that, a moment. It's fleeting. Embrace it for what it is. Be thankful for all that you have (and will have). To quote a very smart lady, Marie Forleo, "Trust the timing of your life."

Everything is unfolding just as it should. You're on the swiftest, best path for you.

As I move into this next decade, one thing I know for sure is that the more I remain in the here and now, the more I live in and am grateful for this moment, the happier I am.

And, happiness is kind of the point of it all...isn't it?

On this month's HOT List I'm sharing resources that have helped my on my journey. I hope they serve you as well.

Mindset Reset Challenge

The most powerful tool we possess is our mind.

This is something I was taught early on in life (thanks Mom and Dad!), but have come to understand on a far deeper level over the past decade.

For me personally, the most profound change in my business came when I worked on my mindset. When I took the time to really investigate what I was saying to myself day-in and day-out about myself, my business, my potential, and the viability of my dreams.

When I tuned into the frequency of my thoughts, I realized I was too often living in a place of worry and lack. Even though I envisioned BIG things for myself, my inner dialogue wasn't consistently aligned with that vision.

Nothing profound, impactful and world changing ever came from living in a place of fear.

I realized that if I wanted my business to flourish and truly serve people, I could not remain small. I had to own my potential and live it every day.

Resetting your mindset is a daily practice. It's not something you address once, and you're good. You need to make space in your life to actively up-level your frequency so that you start living your fullest potential TODAY, not tomorrow or someday when you "make it".

With that in mind, I've put together a free 5-day Mindset Reset Challenge starting Monday, November 16th. During this 5-day Mindset Reset, you'll receive a daily teaching or tool that will enable you to realize your fullest potential, own it and start living it.

It's my birthday gift to YOU. May it be the catalyst that changes the course of your life for good!

Journaling

I've gotten back into journaling lately. It's something that I've explored off and on again, and every time I come back to it, it feels like coming home.

If you have never journaled or haven't in a while, I strongly recommend you begin if you're interested in resetting your mindset to embrace the success that is YOURS for the taking.

Journaling gives you a window into your inner workings. When you transcribe your thoughts, feelings, ambitions onto paper in your own handwriting transformation can (and will) start to take place.

Especially if you're joining the Mindset Reset Challenge, I highly suggest that you get yourself a beautiful, NEW journal that you dedicate to this work of personal and professional development.

Money Affirmations

Can't wait for the Mindset Reset Challenge to kick off in a week and a half? Get a jumpstart on resetting your money mindset with 200 abundance affirmations.

I first heard about these particular affirmations from super-successful business coach, Emily Williams, founder of I Heart My Life. They're the ones she used to skyrocket her business to 6-figures in 6 months, and they're the ones I listen to as well.

Check them out here.

What we BELIEVE, we bring about. 

If you believe with unwavering faith that you'll reach your fullest potential, change lives and be extremely successful doing what you love, you will. It won't necessarily be quick or even easy, but it WILL happen. I can guarantee it.

The best investment you can possibly make is self-belief. You have everything you need to reach your dreams.

xo,
