Are you crystal clear on what you truly want for your life and for your business ? Have you put your “stake in the sand” for what you want…. for what you believe in?
Now is the time.
Author-scientist Gregg Braden teaches, we are in an unprecedented time on the planet and that human beings are moving into higher levels of consciousness. Braden calls the shift of higher consciousness a shift to the 4th Level.
Based on extensive research and calculations, Braden teaches that we are ending a cycle of 26,000 years and that the date 12-21-12 is a significant milestone for humanity. He states that the change that accompanies the this remarkable convergence of cycles is the opportunity for all of us to wipe away patterns that we have outgrown from the past and the perfect time for us to set new healthy patterns and decisions. We are at a time in human history that is on the cusp of great change. One doesn’t have to look far to know that this is true. We’ve watched as many old institutions and ways of doing business are crumbling before our eyes. It is a time to let go of what no longer works and to define and act on what will serve all of us.
Gregg is a fascinating, highly educated,prolific author & researcher extraordinaire and I highly recommend his books. His latest, Fractal Time , goes into great depth and detail about these life changing findings.
The stage is set.
We are at a Choice-Point.
The world is ready for all of us to trust ourselves more and to show up with more grace, more courage and strength. What are the desires of your heart? What are you designed for? What will be your legacy gift(s)? What are the desires of your heart? Trust the answers you receive.
There is not a better time than now, to put your stake in the sand and walk your path.
What do you choose?

We’ve got a beautiful lush planting in my garden called periwinkle. We learned that “periwinkle” grows according to its own rhythm: the first year it “sleeps”, the second year it “creeps”, and the third year it “leaps”. Had we not known and trusted this natural growth process, we would have been frustrated and unhappy with the periwinkle. We might have tried to force growth by aggressively over fertilizing or worse case scenario, rip out the plants complaining that they weren’t good performers, etc. Three patient years later, we experienced a marvelously lush ground cover.
The takeway here? No forcing, rather an approach of perfect timing & action.
Can you relate this metaphor of growth to your own business? Your life?
There’s a trap that entrepreneurs can fall into called “forcing outcomes”. This looks like trying to make things happen,competing, pushing, striving with will-power and our ego.
Think about times when you rushed and forced a result? How did it turn out for you? More often than not, our results are NOT what we intended! Forcing can cost you money, create relationship problems and result in bad timing For example: puny sign ups for your next webinar, strained partnerships, loss of personal energy and confidence and an anemic bank account.
Instead of the exhausting “forcing, always in action & doing mode” try this effortless & elegant “coach approach “and celebrate your results:
1. Vision- Everything you want to accomplish, manifest or bring into your reality starts with your desire, your vision of what you want. Create a strong platform by writing down what your next goal is
2. Design It- Once you are clear on your intentions for your next program, product, or other goal then create your “project plan” What resources do you need, what is your timetable? Who’s responsible for what task? What are the barriers ( internal or external) to achieving this?
3.Implement- Know what you want? Have your plan,strategies & tactics in place? Time to implement. A great way to ensure your success is to have an accountibility partner via your coach, a community or colleague.
