Do you have a strong connection with a mentor to help you to leap ahead in your business & in your life?

I had a big aha moment I wanted to share with you about how incredible it is to have a strong partner ( more on the importance of this in just a minute, first let me tell you this little story:

Here’s what happened…

Recently during one of my dance lessons, I was introduced to a new dance,the Bolero.

Almost immediately,I noticed that my pattern of overthinking was truly get in my way of succeeding. As I tried so hard to focus on the “what”( the steps & what step is next) I easily became “caught up” in striving to get my steps just right and anticipating what is next before I’ve even completed the previous steps.

Note to self, this strategy doesn’t work very well!

When I am not fully connected to my partner all kinds of things happen: My timing is off, I crash into my partner, I trip, or fall off center. Not too graceful Not much of a partnership. I’m all alone “in my head”.

The obvious problem here is that I’m not very connected.

I’m not connected to my dance partner.

I’m not connected to my own body and movement.

I’m not connected to the music.

I’m not connected to being fully present in the moment.

I’m not connected!

My dance instructor,Michael, called me out on this. It was a really great wake-up call.

He told me, dancing isn’t about the steps. It’s about the connection. It’s about the synergy of the partnership. He showed me that there is a push & pull movement that happens between the partners. It’s not just about executing the steps.

I really “got” it, and our dancing took on a whole new meaning. It truly is about the connection. There’s power, more ease and results by truly being “in”the partnership.

It got me to thinking about partnerships, about coaching and why I am a raving fan of coaching and why it works so well.

As we just completed this past year, I bet you’ve given thought to what is next for you and your business in the year ahead.

You COULD try to do everything by yourself, you COULD spend a lot of time all by yourself ” in your head”, thinking,plotting and planning your goals for next year.

I hope you are enjoying this Holiday Season! I’d love to share an interesting experience that I had a few days ago that really demonstrates what I teach my clients to do, which is to use the power of their focus & use their attention and intention to “activate” the energy of what they want both in biz and in life.

I was doing a little Holiday gift-shopping and visited a really “hip” area nearby called The Short North, enjoying a hot chai tea as I popped in and out of several of the art galleries there. In one of the galleries, I stopped dead in my tracks because I was mesmerized by a floral painting by a french artist.

This artist uses a particular technique called impasto that is her signature brand. The shop owner let me know that I was the 3rd person that morning who was interested in that same picture!

I wasn’t surprised because it’s the Law of Attraction at work – focusing on something activates the energy of it. What we place our focused attention gets energized. Plain and simple.

As we wrap up 2009, it’s the perfect time to do a review of this past year & look ahead for 2010.

What do you want to ‘activate’ in your bank account? In your biz? In your personal life?

I would LOVE to help you to activate your dreams and goals for your business and for your personal life.
