Are you playing big or are you playing small?

Does your 2009 Vision for Success Plan have a few “stretch” goals – goals that are both thrilling and scaryat the same time?

I hope so!

Truth be told, you are either growing or dying, moving forward or backward; there really is no standing still. Is this your time to transform your life and your business, to go deeper, to play a much bigger game? Is this your time to courageously stand up for what you want and boldly live life on your terms? Are youunstoppable?

The 2 biggest “reasons” I hear that hold people back from fully stepping out into their lives are:

Excuse #1 Time – “Now’s just not the right time”, “I just don’t have time” or “There’s just not enough time to do all the things that I want to do!”

Excuse #2 Money – “I don’t have the money to pay for the support I need, such as an assistant, new web designer, coach, program, or product. The economy is shaky, so I’d better not invest. I’d better wait.”

Anything sound familiar? The “real” truth here is that these are excuses. Elaborate “stories” that we convince ourselves are true. Our excuses are actually a way for us to continue to stall and stay small. What’s really happening? We are afraid. We tell ourselves these “stories” to cover up fears that we have about stepping out, trying new things, being bold, and doing things bigger and differently than ever before.

Let’s face it, there’s a lot less risk to stay where you are, in your “comfort zone.” When we step out, we might experience a few failures, disapproval from others, or make some mistakes along the way. These fears keep us stuck. Guess what? You deserve a lot more than this and so does your community! Your dreams and goals deserve to be honored and supported. Don’t let your habit of holding back keep you from dreaming, believing, and achieving!

One of my favorite lines in the book and the movie, The Secret, is “The Universe loves speed,” meaning the Universe rewards decisiveness and action!

The key to unlocking your goals is through the power of your decision.

Decide it’s time to stop the excuses and take action toward those “stretch” goals that take your breath away.

Decide what you REALLY want to create in your business, in your personal life and take a stand for it!

Decide, take inspired actions, and then go for it. As the book title, Feel the Fear and Do It Anywaysuggests, be willing to do those things that “push” your buttons — growth takes courage — which comes from the heart and gives you the willingness to grow and become more than you are at this moment!

We are evolutionary by nature. You are more than what you are right now. Your business can be more than what it is right now. What is lying within you, just waiting for you to acknowledge it, ready for you to express it, for it to take shape and become a viable product or service that gives value to others, creating a total win-win for you and your customers?

Time for you to play a bigger game?

Are you in?

You are just one decision away from the unstoppable you!

If you want to be truly profitable both in your business and in your personal life,here’s 6 quick tips on how to create or recreate a vision board. ( Vision boarding is a fantastic  tool to use  to get out of your “head” about your goals, and to visually represent your goals in a way that inspires, motivates and acknowledges these important benchmarks! This is a pic of me in my office, with a recent vision board creation!

Here are 6 quick tips to get you started on your own success board today. Remember the old saying, a picture is worth a thousand words!

  1. Materials- Buy a posterboad, scissors, gluesticks, and have a gigantic stack of old magazines
  2. My Vision BoardCreate a Written List of Your Goals & Determine your Theme for your Board- you can create seperate boards. Some people have boards for their business, for their personal life and some create boards encompassing both.
  3. Light a Candle, Have a Latté- Turn on music you love, let your imagination and creativity express itself
  4. Rules for Vision Boarding- Gotcha, there are no rules!  Let the images you are attracted to as you flip through the magazine pictures “speak” to you.  This is actually a way for your logical mind to take a rest and let your subconscious ideas to come forward.
  5. Visual Imagery- Find visual representations of your goals: clip all art, images, quotes, and keywords that describe or show your important goals.  Assemble and glue your images in a way that is pleasing to you.  Fun and Powerful Tip: Cut and paste a few pictures of you and place them onto your board
  6. Display Your Board- Proudly showcase your board, you are actually “feeding” your subconscious mind these powerful images, bypassing your inner critic who might tell you you don’t know enough,have enough or are enough to have what you want. Let’s bypass this inner tyrant, shall we? Let your vision board, with pictures of your goals and dreams serve to remind, inspire and motivate you towards your personal achievements! Carpe Diem!  I would love for you to share  pics of your boards and success stories  with me!

How to Free Yourself from Negative Influences and Soar Truly Profitable Mindset

The recession, doom & gloom, and the ever present media force feeding us all of this bad news is at an all time high. Every time I pick up a newspaper (which isn’t too often these days), I’m blown away with the strong, fear-based message. One of AOL’s most recent headlines was “Fear Among US Citizens is Growing.”

Well, duh, of course people are scared after they ingest a steady diet of anxiety provoking articles and scary headlines!

Switch on the TV, radio, or Internet and you will get the “news.” Problem is, it’s like the flu – if you hang around it long enough, you just might catch it!

As entrepreneurs, our business’ life blood depends directly on us. Now more than ever before, our attitudes are so important to the sustainability of our businesses! “If you think you can or you think you can’t, either way you are right!” Henry Ford knew what he was talking about!

Here are 3 Quick Tips to keep your mind focused on what truly matters so your business thrives, no matter what:

How the “Little Things” Become Huge Obstacles and What You Can Do About It drama

You’ve got big dreams, you’ve got your vision, and you’ve carefully constructed your plan.

That’s all you need, right?

Not a chance!

It takes more than a really great plan to get the juicy results that you desire.

One of the biggest obstacles to your success could be: YOU!

Are you avoiding things that really need to be taken care of?

You’re not alone; it’s human nature to shy away from the unpleasantries! It’s much easier to ignore, procrastinate, or distract ourselves from our troubles.

For a while, this strategy can work for us. Out of sight, out of mind! It’s a lovely strategy, isn’t it? As a problem occurs, put it off until “tomorrow.” The problem is, this strategy works so beautifully at first that you get into the habit of glossing over such things as:

  • Annoying ongoing issues with your computer
  • Nagging thoughts about updating your will
  • Worrisome thoughts about trademarking your business name or product
  • Even minor health concerns – your heart skipping beats or your overdue dental exam

Just as you embark on something crucial, uh oh — Continue reading Stop the Drama!
