Time to Speak Your Truth
I’m so proud of my friend, Andrea Costantine, that I just have to blog about this!
It is rare to come across a book or piece of work that is so very raw, real, and inspiring. That is why I have decided to participate in sharing this work with you today.
Today is the launch of her book, Speaking Your Truth: Courageous Stories from Inspiring Women” – a powerful anthology of which I am an advocate for.
Speaking Your Truth has 49 stories for women by women. These stories are heart-wrenching and inspiring. The stories are based on love and healing, family matters, spirituality and much more.
Here are some things people have said about this book:
“Speaking Your Truth sizzles with brave energy. These amazing stories are a powerful testimony to the strength of human spirit, and a source of hope to all.” Sharon Lippincott
“Read one of these stories and you’ll keep turning the pages for more.” Susan K. Elliott
“The courageous stories of these women proves that there can be triumph over tragedy. What an inspiration to read their remarkable stories of resiliency in overcoming difficulty.” Danielle Waagmeester
“Speaking Your Truth is like a bowl of grandma’s soup on a cold day.” Sara Ortiz
Find out more now and order your copy today of the Speaking Your Truth anthology. Get your copy (and perhaps a copy for a friend, your mother, or a colleague) here.
If you choose to support her, and get courage to speak your own truth, awesome! Thank You and Congrats ahead of time!

Progress in Leaps & Bounds!
I am typing this blog post from my Hotel room, I’ve been up since 5 am mulling things over in my brain. Yoga didn’t calm me, but working did (strange how that is) and finally I just decided to get it all out in a blog post!
The reason I am in a hotel room? I’m on my first of two, Private Platinum VIP retreats with my business coach (I like to call her my best friend in biz) Gina Bell. We spend yesterday going over the next three months of my calendar and talking about things in the industry in general and specifically. It’s good to know that I’m on the right track, and I got a confidence boost. Gotta love a good coach!
So before I get ready for Day 2 and grab a much needed coffee, I wanted to share this quick video about the difference between wanting success and actually being successful! If you are interested in more info about coaching, go here (I’m especially joyful right now, you’ll see why in the post, and I’ve gone delusional with my coaching pricing).
Happy Happy Joy Joy! Spread happiness
I sent this out to my eZine list last night. But I had to REALLY share this great new (if you know me, you know that I don’t do anything half way!). So I’m announcing it on my blog too. (I think everyone has the right to be happy, and it’s the small things that add the most joy.)
Wednesday I found out news that I just HAD to share with the world!
My husband and I are expecting a new member of the Englot Family!
On Sunday, we are going to pick up our new, adopted puppy a Border Collie cross! I’ve 
been floating on air since I found out we were approved yesterday morning.
And of course, I spent a lot of time and money yesterday night at the local pet store trying to decide on which bed to buy her and what color of collar to get (Pink, or Blue with Sparkles? So hard to decide!). My husband had to intervene or we would have been there all night (I picked the pink one).
We haven’t decided on a name yet, we’re going to wait and see what suits her. Sasha, Misha, and Sammy are in the lead right now. What do you think? I think she looks like a Sasha or a Sammy.
Anyway, I’ve been sooooo happy the last 24 hours that I’ve gone slightly delirious. I am offering Happiness Booster Coaching for the first 10 people that book sessions, at the outrageous price of $147 for 60 minutes!) That’s a savings of over $100.
This is PERFECT for you if:
- You basically know what you need to be doing in your business, but you’re procrastinating because you feel overwhelmed, unsure or not confident. You just need a new, more experience perspective to provide some fresh insight and you’ll be off and running! We’ll get to the root of the procrastination so that you can excel in your business and create more products, programs and add more clients (which translates into more $$$).
- You want to make a change in your life (write that book, find that special someone or change careers) but you want to do it painlessly and fear, self-sabotage and limiting beliefs are holding you back! I have some exercises and questions for you to ask yourself so that you can INSTANTLY change your perspective and you can easily accomplish your 2010 goals in the time that is left this year.
- You have a specific “unhappiness” trigger (hate your job, constantly worried about money, stuck in a dead-end relationship). We will get to the bottom, the EXACT THOUGHT that is causing your pain and holding you back. When we find it, you’ll instantly change your perspective so that you can shift your energy and the good stuff starts to flow toward you!
An hour is more than enough time to accomplish this…as my Platinum Master LIFE Cleanse Clients know! (See Alesia’s Rave Review below).
Because I have limited space in my calendar, this Delirious with Happiness, Outrageous Happiness Booster price is limited to the first 10 people…first come, first serve. After that, the price goes up to the regular amount of $250 an hour.
An hour of time. Less than the cost of a designer handbag, nice leather shoes, a night out or more months wasted! What is your time worth?
Okay, this is supposed to be a quick, joy-filled message! I’ve got to go back to puppy planning now! Have a great night 
xoxo

P.S. Don’t risk regret at the end of this year that you did not act quick enough to get into my schedule. I only have limited space open for coaching clients!

The Ultimate Solution to creating lasting happiness & harmony
I have some really exciting news…
Over the weekend, Gina Bell and I decided to makeover the Master Life Cleanse!
LOL, actually we’re just changing the name.
Now you might be wondering why I’m telling you this…
This is really great for YOU because it means I’m having a virtual “clearance sale” on the Master LIFE Cleanse Action Guide because we have to change the name. Which means cover changes and some content upgrades.
I’m clearing it out!
Sort of…Obviously it’s a virtual product, BUT I am clearing out this version AND the price (Outrageous $17 3-Pay)!
(Short on time, but want in? Go to http://kimberlyenglot.com/mlcactionguide2-1/)
The Master LIFE Cleanse Action Guide:
Your Guide to Happiness & Harmony!
Are you:
• Feeling stressed, tired and overwhelmed?
• Worn-out trying to live up to other people’s expectations?
• Desperate to rediscover the real you, but unsure how?
• Unhappy with some of the relationships in your life?
• Drowning in clutter, disorganization and a growing to-do list?
• Afraid of what others might think if you make a change?
• Terrified that when you start to make changes people will judge you, make snide comments, or avoid you all together?
• Constantly comparing yourself to others, feeling inferior or than you have so far to go to catch up or keep up?
If you have answered YES to any of these points and you don’t want to feel this way one second longer –

Interested in what others are saying about the Master Life Cleanse?
Here is what Alesia had to say about her private Life Cleanse coaching call with me and Gina:
You ended the call notes with the suggestion to ponder ‘What if I am already okay!!’
I can’t tell you how freeing that is! It took the long ingrained cultural Automatic Negative Thought of “work is hard” and blew to smithereens!
My “inner work” doesn’t need to be hard (in fact I wonder if it needs to “be” at all.) Several times in my private call and in the weekly calls you’ve said it could be fun. You suggested taking things which I procrastinate on (like writing thank you notes) and turn them into something to be fun. That is REVOLUTIONARY to me!
Before the call – “things should be hard.”
After the call – “things should be easy!”
Gina’s suggestions on how to make my difficult work moments stress-free and easy were also very helpful!
Thank You!

Tools & Tips to Make Friends (and make people LOVE being around you!)
So you have a toxic person in your life. You have identified them, and the reality is you cannot just leave the relationship, for whatever reason. In my Happiness & Harmony Makeover Program (the Master Life Cleanse), we spent 60 minutes talking about toxic relationships. In preparing to teach the class, I did some thinking, reading and researching and I discovered a pile of tips for dealing with people.
Toxic people, pleasant people, people you need to be nice to, people you want to be nice to, and people that are completely neutral to you.
They might feel like common sense, but give them a try anyway and see how your next interaction goes.
- People want to feel challenged, respected, acknowledged and appreciated. They want to feel important. This is probably the most important piece of advice you can take with you in life, when dealing with ANYONE.
- To apply that to “toxic people”: A desire to be important drives them to do things (probably to undermine you). Make them feel special, show genuine interest or appreciation and they won’t need to do that. The trick is that it has to be genuine.
- I try to make everyone’s day truly special, from the tired guy bagging my groceries to the experts I deal with in my business. Here is a great exercise from Dale Carnegie’s, “How to Win Friends and Influence People”
“Try leaving a friendly trail of little sparks of gratitude on your daily trips. You will be surprised at how they will set small flames of friendship that will be rose beacons on your next visit.”
So smile at people. Make the effort to get to know them. Show a real interest…this is called developing authentic rapport.
- Top CEOs, sales people and almost everyone successful know that honest appreciation gets results, NOT criticism.
- Repeat add this to your daily affirmations:
“I shall pass this way but once; any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now…for I shall not pass this way again.”
That should help you feel empathetic during times of extreme irritation!
- Show genuine interest in the other person. Greet people with enthusiasm. Ask questions about themselves.
- Believe people are inherently good and honest.
- Let others maintain their pride. Admit your own faults first and never directly pick on theirs…this is because there is no faster way to get someone angry, irrational and defensive than to pick on them!)
- Set a powerful example with your own behavior and watch others follow.
That’s it. Try some compassion, smile and realize that it’s not your job to modify your behavior in order to please someone else…BUT you must also not expect them to modify their behavior to please you.
Have a great weekend!

Believe 6 Impossible Things
I watched Alice in Wonderland on the weekend. That, along with finishing up my SHINE Your Inner Light guide had me thinking big by the time Saturday night rolled around.
I was inspired to create a video for my Master Life Cleanse participants, but the inspiration keeps coming so I’m also writing a blog post.
It is so important to believe the impossible AND to believe in yourself! Where would we be if it w
eren’t for so-called Crazy People?
We would still be thinking the earth was flat. We wouldn’t have airplanes or space travel or phones. The simplest things that we take for granted now, were once huge ideas…impossible ideas.
And critics shot them down.
So I encourage you to remember this the next time you have a really great idea. Hold it close to you. Protect it from dream-stealers, and go for it!
My new practice is to believe 6 Impossible Things before breakfast, just like the red queen. I have to hand it to her…that is a great idea! (even though she had an evil agenda).
So go for it! Believe those impossible things, dream, have faith in yourself!
In fact, if I were to travel back in time 3 years ago and look at where I am now in life, I’d say that was pretty darn impossible.
My Six Impossible Things include:
- my own radio show (now a podcast)
- my own signature program
- 3 ebooks, + one on the way
- a Published book in the works
- being happy (for no reason)
- Oh, Ya…and waking up every morning joyful and getting to do my own thing!
It may not be creating a time machine or travelling to the moon, but I have to give myself credit for coming a very long way in a very short time.
What are YOUR impossible things?
The Only Thing Worse than Failure is Regret!
With the busy-ness of last week, I completely forgot to let you guys know about a few things. So this is a multi-purpose email.

- Are you intimidated by joint ventures because you’re not sure what you have to offer and worry about rejection?.
- Spending hours upon hours on social media sites and it’s not translating into money?.
- Confused by list building lingo such as “opt-ins”, “autoresponders”, “squeeze pages”, “ethical bribes”, etc….
- Unsure of how to create an irresistible “freebie” offer that converts visitors to subscribers?.
- Unsure of how to build a relationship and foster rapport, responsiveness and loyalty with the list you do have?

My Opinion Matters Most
You might think that sounds egotistical of me. But here is the thing, when it comes to me: my thoughts, my actions, my choices…my opinion is what matters most.
A bit of background for you as to how I came about this revelation:
I grew up in a happy environment. Did well in school. Always helping others. Blah, blah, blah…but I really relied on others approval as a guiding system.
- Do my homework, get 90%…teacher happy, Kim happy!
- Home before curfew…mom happy, Kim happy!
- Babysit at last minute even though I already had plans….neighbor happy, Kim not happy.
WAIT! Something is wrong here. When did I start relying on others to make me happy? That is not fair, to me or them, and it gives a way my power.
Fast forward a bit and I’m discovering my authentic self. This was just before I started my business. I suddenly got it one day; I had to be happy first, because then I’m more generous with time and money, and I’m nicer to be around…and things just flow better. So I started to do that. Make myself happy.
Fast forward a couple more years. I finally understand (with my brain) that not everyone is going to like my “stuff.” In fact, generally speaking about 50% of people will think I’m just full of cr@p.
“BUT I’m not used to that! People always like me!” I told myself, alarmed!
Yep, it was a hard reality to learn. But everywhere I turned that is exactly what people were telling me, “gotta toughen up.”
Then I learned more about attraction marketing (I’m talking about business again here) and how to ensure that only people who like what you’re doing and are at least moderately interested in what you have to say, will sign up, buy your stuff, or follow you.
So I limited the amount of negativity in my life by learning how to do that.
Photo from http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1158072
I just got one. It had to do with an email I just sent out. The person pointed out a mistake and then went on to basically tell me that I didn’t know what I was doing and that I should learn a thing or two before I bother them again. I’ve changed some details (in case this person actually does read my blogs), but my heart stopped and my stomach left my body.
I got all flustered and started to shake…then the stories started,
“I should have checked that first. People are going to think I’m an idiot. How could I make such a silly error!”
Then I researched the problem, and it wasn’t a big deal. Nothing was actually wrong, I made a simply mechanical error. That’s it.
So my fault, yes, but worth a ranty email? No.
In fact this person wasn’t even ranting at me. Maybe their in box is full and I was just the tipping point. Maybe they just had a fight with someone, got stuck in traffic, got fired, or was summoned for jury duty. Whatever it was, it wasn’t about me.
That’s when I really got it! (and it’s still sinking in as a type this),
What another person, or group of people, think about me has no bearing WHATSOEVER on who I am as a person (in business or in life). What I think about ME is what actually matters.
Photo from http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1121685
Yes, I believe in great customer service. Yes I believe in correcting mistakes and making things right. Yes I believe that others’ have a right to their opinions about me, but in the end, it’s me that matters most.
And I am going to choose not to let you burst my bubble, as long as you promise not to let me burst yours.
PS-That ranty email person…they’re still on the list. Didn’t even bother to unsubscribe. That’s how I know…it’s not about me.
So Blessings, Ranty Person. I am sending you loving energy. Thank you for pointing out my error and my human-ness. I appreciate it. In peace, love and harmony,
Kim
