What got you here will not get you there
I hate to say it, but if you don’t like your life (business, relationship, neighbourhood, job….) you are the only one responsible for changing it. That means that you have to do something different, to get different results.
Here is what will happen when you try something different: YOU WILL GET IN YOUR OWN WAY!

Success Tip: Live your own life
“A person should set his goals as early as he can and devote all his energy and talent to getting there. With enough effort, he may achieve it. Or he may find something that is even more rewarding. But in the end, no matter what the outcome, he will know he has been alive.”
Walt Disney

Are you living someone else’s life?
You woke up this morning, looked at your To Do list and realized that not one single thing excites you. In fact, you’re ready to…
- …run for the hills and never return (and if it weren’t for your kids, you probably would). Or
- …climb back into bed and pull the covers over your head.
But you’re a good girl, so you get ready for the day…like it’s any other day. And inside you are silently screaming (or worse, completely dead), wishing something would change.
You’re living your life according to someone else’s definition of who you SHOULD be and how you SHOULD behave.
It only takes ONE Second for you to decide to live your life according to your dreams!
You can decide right now to grab the opportunity to design the life you deserve, according to YOU. You can identify the self-sabotage and limiting beliefs that are chaining you to your current circumstances and guaranteeing that you stay there.
It’s TIME for you to reach your potential and acknowledge that you’re destined for something BIG! You can exceed your expectations and live the life you are dreaming about (but hiding and not daring to tell anyone about).

Happiness in Business Tip
I think it’s time for a reality check, and so I’m going to talk about something that I’m passionate about, that effects 95% of my clients and followers, but that I rarely dig deep into: Business.
There is a false belief out there that it’s very easy to start up a business and immediately have $10 000 months on a regular basis.
That is what I call BULL.
Is it possible? Yes.
Is it probable? No. And I’m not trying to be a Dream-Stealer here, but you knowing this just might save you a lot of grief. You can stop feeling like a failure and give up the image of you crawling back to a full time j.o.b right now!
You CAN succeed. You CAN be happy. You can be wealthy doing what you love…but you can’t do everything perfectly, all at once.
I have a few Safety Tips for you to remember while trying to build your business without going crazy.
-
Work part time.
DO NOT immediately quit your job, unless you have thousands in savings that you’re willing to part with, a very wealthy spouse, or a HUGE client that will immediately bring in money.
There is nothing wrong with working while you build your business, and most entrepreneurs do it, even though they don’t admit it.
Working part time will allow you to build your business without money stress. It will allow you to afford the coaching that gets you BIG results (and good coaching is very expensive.) It will keep your passion, your passion, rather than becoming another j.o.b. -
Be YOU.
Don’t try to imitate your mentor. As much as you can admire someone, it is much better, and simpler to just be you. You’ll attract your ideal clients easier, and you don’t have to constantly think about how your actions effect your brand. I am just me in my life AND my business. I don’t worry about how my social media, blog, eZines, or interviews effect my business (which many guru’s will tell you is a big no-no) but because I’m clear on who I am and who I want to attract for clients, I have eliminated a lot of stress of having to constantly “be on” — by just being me.

Consistency is Key and Show Up Fully.
When you first start, you start at step one…also known as Zero. Zero clients, Zero products, Zero prospects on your list. And that is fine…EVERYONE starts at ZERO. And there are many, many ways to get you from zero to not-zero. Some are quick, some are not, but it depends on your time/money/comfort status.
NOW, whether you have 1 or 10 000 on your “list” the key is to show up and care for every single one of them. Show the first few people on your eZine list that they are as important as if they were spending loads of money with you. Don’t just think that because you only have 100 subscribers, you don’t have to try that hard. That is a huge mistake. Show up regularly, give them great content, and let them know about new things going on in your business. -
People buy from those they: Know, Like and Trust….
which is why #2 and #3 are so important. Building a business takes time in. You cannot grow relationships overnight. It can take YEARS, but don’t let that frighten you (because you have other sources of income, right? See #1). Most “overnight” successes actually took 10 years of hard work.
You are not alone. Frustration is rampant, especially among people out there following those that claim they can make you $30 000 in one month, starting from zero, and have you living like a Queen in 12 months or less. This usually ends in tears, anger and (hopefully NOT) you giving up to go back to corporate America.
Don’t get me wrong, any thing is possible, but wishes, hopes and dreams don’t build a business. KNOWING exactly what you want and then following good advice and your intuition will. Intention is only valuable if you put your intentions into action.
Just make sure you feel good about the actions you are taking, and you’re set for success!
