Overview:

Knowing just one of these sabotagers can dramatically change your success mindset leading to more fun, more money, and more time! (Who doesn’t want more fun?)

You will be ready to take on the world after reading this Special Report! In under an hour, you can…

• Determine if you are living someone elses’ version of success…and correct it, if you are.
• Go from 0-60! Take note if you’re an “ideas” person who never actually does anything.
• Get out of the comfort zone…and start writing that book (or training for that marathon, or quit that dreaded job!)

Authenticity open up opportunities, unless you hold YOURSELF back!

All of the top experts are talking about the importance of being yourself in business and life, as a way to attract clients, customers, and prosperity. In this Special Report, I’ve explained everything you need to know (and do) to get that authentic self working for you!

You don’t have to hide anymore. You don’t have to let your underyling, self-limiting beliefs hold you down.

You Will Learn:

• The Top 7 ways that women hold themselves back from success (including how much money they make).

• Why every reason you have right now for not being as successful as you wish, is a big fat excuse. And what to do about it to kick success into high gear starting today.

• Lessons from a “Pick-Up Artist” and how rejection is actually worth its weight in gold when it comes to designing your business (and life!)

• Why most people who interpret The Secret as “wish and wait” will spend their lives wishing and waiting…and how the Law of Attraction really works.(In “normal” language!)

• The productivity secret Ali Brown, Tony Robbins and Bob Proctor have in common that make them rich and successful...and how you can apply this practice to your own life to achieve the same results! (This is potentially the most important difference between them and you, and simple to fix!)

• When and why hunger is very good for you, and a huge indicator of your true success potential. (If you don’t have it, you’re not going to make it.)

• How to turn someone who doesn’t believe in you into a major motivator (and how to turn a  breakdown into a break-through!)

This is a quick special report to teach you to identify your limiting beliefs and move beyond them. If you don’t recognize them, they will forever hold you back. You can stay stuck, stay unhappy with the amount of money you’re bringing in, stay unhappy with your boss…or you can do something about it. You receive all of the essential information so that you can put your new mindset to work for you immediately.

Please remember that each individual’s success depends on his or her background, dedication, desire and motivation. As with any business endeavor, there is no certain guarantee that you will earn any money.

It sounds really harsh and shocking, and I want it to be that way. You are the person who is holding you back. There might be others contributing to the problem, but when it comes right down to it, you’re the one who lets them.

1. You replace your instincts with someone else’s advice, and/or worry about what other people think. Bad, Bad, Bad idea! This is a case where fear is good…in the form of your intuition telling you not to listen. If you are constantly looking for outward advice/approval then you have lost your authentic voice! You are holding yourself back by not having confidence in yourself. This is simple enough to remedy. Start with baby steps. Say no (when you really want to). Listen to your body (it reacts physically when something feels off) and get back to the basics (look back at your life and count your blessing and all the things you have already accomplished!)
   This is your life, you know how to run it! You don’t need someone else’s permission.

   
   

2. You are too attached to your “but” and have too many excuses.
   One of my favorite saying is, “Get off your but!” That is, look at the excuses you’re using to hold yourself back. Easy to identify by the standard…”I’d love to do __________, BUT___________.” There is a well known theory out there: if you are hungry enough for something you’ll do what it takes to get it (no matter what the cost). I’m not saying that you should go about things in an unethical, illegal or immoral way, but check your “but” next time. Then ask yourself, is this but a true CAN’T or a WON’T. There is a huge difference. Won’t is very empowering. I means that this is something that you won’t do for whatever reason, and stating it makes you realize how often the can’t is actually a won’t. Give yourself permission to say, “I WON’T exercise tonight because CSI is on,” and you’ll be so much closer to living your truth!

   
   

   
   

3. You are focusing on the wrong things. Have you taken time to figure your goals “from the inside out?”
   That is where true happiness lies! I wrote a blog on it recently. Think about this scenario (it makes your priorities very clear): if there were a fire or flood and I had 5 minutes to get out (or die) what would I make sure went with me? Most people say they’d grab their kids, pets, photo’s, maybe the odd heirloom. You aren’t going to be worrying about the Volvo or your designer purse. Looking at the inside-out perspective you can see that your family takes precedence over “things”…but are you living that way? You can say, “But I want money FOR my family. So they can have everything they want: nice clothes, iPods, travel.” But I bet, they’d rather see more of YOU then any of those things! Are you holding yourself back from happiness and wealth because your definition of happiness and wealth doesn’t actually ring true to you?

Think about those 3 ways. What is your true definition of success? What kind of excuses are you using, and how are they preventing you from living your authentic life? How are you letting someone else run the show called Your Life? Answer those questions and you will be light years ahead of the average person, who is content complaining about how things are, without actually doing anything to change them! You can also learn more way you are holding yourself back, and how to stop NOW, by becoming a Premium Member and joining us for the live call on Monday!

I was late jumping on  whole Rhonda Byrne “The Secret” bandwagon, by a good 2 years! But once I finally gave in, I jumped right on, and pushed everyone else out of the way, eager to take the reigns! I did everything I could think of to get more information, buying books, borrowing books, borrowing DVDs, audios and hiring a coach. I was/am determined to figure it out and I think I’ve found the secret to “The Secret!” — it was in a place I did not expect to find it!

I can’t cover it all here, but I hope you will join me for my LIVE call-in radio show on Friday (August 20 at 11am ET/ 8am PT) where I explain the entire thing. (Find all details HERE). I will do my best to give you the Cliff Notes version.

Since discovering the Law of Attraction, my brain “knew” what it had to do…but sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t. I kept thinking, “Something has to be missing.” Which, of course, added tonnes of resistance and mucked up everything that much more!
A couple of months ago I listened to “Ask Your Guides” by Sonia Choquette (I also own the paperback, but I do so much running around that the audio version is priceless to me!) And I started to do what she recommended…something I haven’t done if a very long time: I began to pray!
You can be hung up on that word all you want, but it’s just a way to say that I connected with a higher source. You can call it meditating, casting spells, or whatever you want…but it works if you do it. I “pray” all day every day. And it is the secret to trusting that when you ask, it IS given!

I know that feels a bit vague, but try it out. And if you want more detailed info, tune into my show where I explain it much more, including some of the mini prayers I use to get rid of my traffic headaches (I rarely fight traffic), the guides/angels I call on to keep me safe when I’m scared, and how I find bargains! It’s a magical topic and a fun show!

I hope you ‘ll join me live.

I had an outstanding day yesterday. One of the many things that made me so happy:
I bought a new printer a few days ago, and had to take it back. When I took it back to exchange it for one that didn’t jam up every time I tried to print, I actually was given money back. Yep, the printer had since gone on sale and I exchanged it for a new one, plus they gave me money in return! I felt so much better after 2 days of a stupid printer that didn’t work. NOTICE, that is all about my perspective on that outcome? (I could have been angry, yelled at the customer service agent, demanded my money back, went to another store and purchased a similar printer for more money. That is probably how I would have acted a few years ago.) 

So, I had a good day. This morning I woke up to find someone had commented on one of my blog posts…YAY! I thought, I am uplifted whenever anyone takes the time to comment. But this was a TROLL. Yikes. Yuck. Ick.

I sent the comment to the trash because I don’t need anyone smearing ME with THEIR “junk” but basically I was told that I was naive and “to grow up.” (The issue was a post I wrote about the power of positive, group thinking, comparing it to a Criss Angel episode I watched 6 months ago).

In the last 2 or 3 years I have discovered that (GASP) I feel better, happier, safer, freer when I believe that positive forces rule/fuel the world. I am happier when I CHOOSE to see the positive aspects of my life, and the examples in it. Do I believe everything anyone tells me? No. I am the first to check out www.Snopes.comwhenever I’m sent a crazy email. Do I believe everything that Criss Angel (a paid illusionist) does is pure and real? No, but at that point in my life I was searching for a sign, and I think I got one. Does that make me naive? Maybe in some people’s eyes.

I the end I am happy and my family is happy. What else matters? I am going to continue choosing to absorb the positive vibes of those around me, and deflect the negative ones. There is enough “junk” in this world, and I have my own to deal with, I don’t need yours! (And you don’t need mine).

What does success mean to you?

I know that most people have a canned response. “Success means having lots of money, wearing expensive clothes, travelling around the world and driving a fancy car.” Notice that all of those things are external? They are all things that you “get” outside of yourself, and most of those things don’t make you happy for long.

Crazy idea…If your house were to burn down, what would you take? You’d take the photo’s, the babybooks, family pet…you wouldn’t head to the closet to get your favorite pair of shoes or that designer dress.

WHAT IF you defined success from the inside out?

So start this process with a quick exercise. What does success really mean to you? What do you want to do with your life? Write it down, not editing or worrying about others might think. Then look at the difference between what you say you want, and what you currently have. Create a “backward” map. That is, start where you want to be and map out a backward trail until you end up where you are now. Since you are where you are now, start there and take the next logical step to living a successful life.

Do you think you’re not in control of your life? Think again. Rebecca Rosen reveals why you have the power to co-create your destiny. 
In last month’s article, we explored how to determine your dominant intuitive senses as well as the different ways intuition and spirit speak to you in your everyday life. But now you may be wondering why it’s important to be intuitively connected and spiritually awake.

Over the years, spirit has taught me that we each come into life with certain lessons to learn in order to spiritually grow and evolve. Before we are born into our physical bodies—and with the help of our spirit guides—we draw up a loose script, or blueprint, for our lives. The script is based on lessons we failed to learn the last time we were incarnated—yes, I am referring to reincarnation—and those we are meant to learn this time around.

While these particular predetermined events, encounters and lessons are bound to show up along our journey, it’s ultimately up to us what we choose to do with them once they appear. Meaning, the future is not set in stone! We have the power—through our choices and free will—to help direct, shift and shape our futures, acting as co-creators with God, the source and the universe.

As Elisabeth Kubler-Ross so eloquently put it: “Mankind’s greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear.”

We can say yes to life, embracing all that is showing up with an open heart and mind, while holding the intention to resolve, learn and grow from our experiences. When we do this, we pass the tests and grow spiritually. But when we’re in a disconnected state, we may act from our lower selves and fear. In doing so, we fail to learn the lessons life is currently presenting, which is what many of us do from time to time. And when we do, similar struggles will continuously to pop up in different ways until we get it right.

Strengthen your connection with your intuition

Many of us have fallen into the trap of listening to and being guided by our minds (ego) more than our hearts (intuition). When we are predominantly ruled by our ego, we tend to operate from fear, doubt, judgment, anger, jealousy, impatience and anxiety. When we’re feeling disconnected, dissatisfied and alone, it’s usually because we’re not striking a balance between our ego (mind) and our intuitive voice (heart).

On the other hand, when we are spiritually aligned with our authentic selves, operating from our hearts and in tune with our higher selves’ knowing or intuition, we tend to make better choices. And when we make choices based in love, we incur more positive and less negative karma.

Karma is simply the process of cause and effect. If you do A, B will happen. Karma (the law of cause and effect) is essentially the same thing as the law of attraction: that which is like is drawn. When we continuously put negative energy out into the universe through our thoughts, feelings, words and actions, we attract more of that negative stuff back into our lives. The reverse holds true as well. Every day I hear the same message relayed from the other side: Everything we think, say and do follows us when we die. Therefore, it’s in our best interest to be fully accountable for all of our thoughts, words and actions and strive to come from a place of love.

Once we realize all situations in our lives—the positive and the negative—are a result of our decisions, actions, inactions and reactions, we can feel empowered and inspired, knowing we do actually have a say in what happens to us.

To top that off, I’d like to remind you that it’s never too late to re-create. Many of us have regrets about past situations we wish we could undo. And while we can’t change the past, we are given what I call opportunities to redo. And how do we ensure a better future outcome? We start by “shushing” our ego and allowing our intuition to guide us.

Connecting with your intuition begins with quieting your mind through meditation. To help you get started, I will leave you with a simple breathing exercise found in Chapter 1 of Spirited: Connect to the Guides All Around You.This exercise helps me get into a more receptive state of mind for both my personal and professional spiritual work, as the breath connects us with spirit. I encourage you to experiment with it as a way to reconnect with your inner being and spiritual wisdom.

Try Rebecca’s breathing exercise

What you’ll need: Five undisturbed minutes. Choose a quiet place where you feel comfortable. For example, sit in the backyard or in a park (or on a bus stop bench, if that’s all you have). It doesn’t matter where you are, as long as it’s an environment that puts you at ease.

Close your eyes and begin to breathe deeply. After a few deep breaths, focus on clearing out your “icky” energy. Take a minute and ask any negative energy that’s hanging around to hit the road. Continue to breathe. Notice your breath start to slow down and become a steady flow of inhales and exhales.

Breathe.

For the next five minutes, try quieting your mind chatter. Stop thinking about what you’re going to do as soon as this exercise is over, how you’re going to meet your work deadlines or what you’re going to make for dinner. Release thoughts about yesterday or last week or last year. The goal here is to stop thinking about the past or the future and to learn what it feels like to be present.

Breathe.

Let your worries and anxiety drift away.

Sit in this place of stillness for as long as feels right for you.

Byron Katie is a very loving soul, can’t you just feel it?

In this video, she helps a man through some self-sabotaging beliefs and I have a feeling that he’s not the only one who’s ever worried about this!

A friend of mine shared these videos a couple of months ago and I resonated so strongly with them that I knew I had to share with you. Of course I forgot about them until recently when I realized that they were a perfect fit for my upcoming Happiness & Self  Premium Membership call (these videos also go very nicely with several topics in my “Letting Go” Premium Series, starting in August.) I invite you to join us as we discuss self esteem, self love and self discovery on July 19! Learn more at http://kimberlyenglot.com/being-the-perfect-sized-you/

Talk about getting it…You are the perfect sized YOU!!!

If you are unhappy regarding your own physical appearance, take the time to watch these videos! Take to heart what Katie has to say. (Part 2 is my favorite–“You’re not too fat to be you…and in a perfect Universe, someone has to be you!” Love it!!!– but make sure you watch Part 1 first or it won’t make as much sense)
