Practice, Persistence & Patience…. September 7th, 2010
Oh MY! (Lions & Tigers & Bears! OH MY!) – Here’s what happens – when you are willing – to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE and PRACTICE some more – (this is called persistence) you begin to develop the magical quality of PATIENCE – allowing things to unfold in their OWN time – including YOU and your business. Part of the work of a Passion-preneur is the deep development of this patience muscle. You have been STRUCK THROUGH THE HEART and you have deep burning desire to serve the world in the highest ways possible to bring your gifts to the table, to help those you are here to serve and to joyfully co-create magic, miracles and money with your entrepreneurship! And yet……
There are SO many pieces of this ART of running a business – that sometimes you can trip, fall and get deeply discouraged. Here is where the practice comes in handy – one of my favorite practices is to become DEEPLY aware and just NOTICE when I’ve lost the fire in my belly and the flame in my heart for the work that I know I’ve been born to do. When that happens as a PRACTICE – it’s time to take some time away from the work – and to make a retreat where you can re-kindle the flame and come back into right relationship with your business and fuel yourself to continue to persist in bringing your gifts in to the world in positive, productive and profitable ways.
It can be challenging to have a HUGE vision and then to realize that you are not going to INSTANTLY MANIFEST it! Spirit gives you these big visions as opportunities to grow – inside yourself and inside your business. Cultivating that patience muscle is a way to hone and refine your Spirit. When you wait for something – and when you take your time to carefully and mindfully and patiently craft something – then you will be creating lasting value in the world – and you will be (EXACTLY ON TIME) richly rewarded for it!
There are so many parts to a successful business – and the journey to success is one that is filled with a huge variety of challenges that you must face, apply your skill to and overcome. For many evolving entrepreneurs the discovery of your passionate purpose is just the beginning – there is so much to learn, so much to synthesize and then so much to integrate before finally putting all those parts together into a viable, sustainable, thriving enterprise that is the carrying vessel for your accumulated wisdom and knowledge.
This fall I’m in the space myself of having been called into a BIG vision – the creation of my first big Telesummit event – I’ve figured out why it’s called a Summit! – Because like climbing a high mountain peak the creating and delivery of this event has been quite a journey – there have been a lot of ditches, some crevasses, a few slippery slopes, a lot of strategizing, some muscling through, and the peak at this point is ALMOST but NOT QUITE in sight!
How to stay the course? Practice – everyday – I have a yoga practice and I’ve also been called even more deeply into my own energetic practices as well as mindset work – the most valuable of which has been “STAY IN TODAY”. Persist – just keep moving – put one foot in front of the other, step by step you make steady progress and finally PATIENCE – this has been a big life long quality that I’ve been cultivating. The harvest will arrive – in it’s own time – you don’t see the farmer planting a seed in the field and then going out the next day and looking for the fruit of the vine. Breathing is a great way to encourage patience and discourage anxiety and fear from creeping in when you wonder if you are ever going to make it to the peak or if you are going to go slipping away and crash and burn in a devastating heap! Just keep breathing.
I would LOVE to have you join me – we’re getting closer – the excitement IS building – people ARE registering – some are even BRAVELY and COURAGEOUSLY taking the small step (or giant leap depending on your perspective) of creating their video for our video contest. Our final BIG Questions about the BIG Conversations that lead to BIG Cash is TOMORROW! The SUMMIT is almost HERE!!

Have you ever…..? August 31st, 2010
Have you ever received a BIG VISION???An INSPIRATION from Spirit that you felt compelled to bring into fruition? Have you ever worked really hard to create something beautiful? Have you ever poured your heart and soul into something that you were really deeply passionate about? Have you ever failed????
What happens when you fail? What happens when you feel like you are quite literally at the end of your rope? When you feel like you’ve risked it all and you are about to lose it? What do you think this does to your soul, to your Spirit, to your capacity for joy and play, spontaneity and lightness of being? What happens to your Spirit when all that you have worked for is suddenly and mysteriously removed from your grasp?
Letting go and surrendering is probably the most challenging thing that can be asked of us. Life is such a paradox – work towards your goals and dreams! Take action!! Do what you are called to do!! Then let go, surrender, release, and say goodbye. Sometimes you just don’t know whether you are coming or going.
Behind it all though there is a DIVINE Plan. Your soul does in fact know exactly what it is doing – each experience is there specifically to bring you a lesson and a gift. Can you find it? Can you let go of your own sadness, gyrations, machinations and drama creation to stop, breathe, listen, rest in the stillness and believe?
If you can find ONE thing – just ONE thing to be grateful for – You can WALK!! You can BREATHE on your own!! You have friends and other people who care for you! You have a brain that can think and create! You live on the sunny side of the street, the shady side of the street, it’s raining, it’s snowing, it’s autumn, the flowers are blooming…. SOMETHING – find SOMETHING and just FOCUS all your attention on that ONE thing that you are grateful for – allow that feeling of gratitude that feeling of open hearted wonder to come in and slowly but steadily fill you up.
Today I am grateful for more than a few things -
1 – I can write
2 – I can walk
3 – I can see
4 – I can hug
5 – I can dream
6 – I can breathe on my own
7 – I can feel (emotionally and physically)
That’s enough for now – I could make the list go on and on. I was feeling sad and discouraged when I started this post – but now – just taking the time to re-focus I’m feeling so much better. I have a big event that I’ve been working really diligently on all summer that’s happening in a few weeks – I’m at another speedbump in the road on the event – no one seems to be interested. I have to decide – do I keep spending money on creating something that no one wants? Am I not being patient enough? Have I made a big mistake in putting almost all my eggs in this one basket? Could I, should I do something else? Have I strayed from my path and come to a dead end?
Let’s get back to gratitude shall we? One of the things I am really grateful for is that I’ve been blessed to work with some amazing people to shift their own patterns of behavior and to reclaim a clear vision of what their next steps are on their own personal path. Whether it’s a path of entrepreneurship where they are taking their passion out into the world in greater and more authentic ways or a decision to let their gifts shine through in other ways – the people who I’ve been blessed to serve have always brought such brilliance, courage and beauty into my life. To be a sacred witness is a holy thing. Another thing that I’m grateful for.
I would love to have some feedback from those of you who are connected with my work – would you please let me know how I may serve you? It would be my joy to do so…. I appreciate you and all the blessings you have come to this sweet Earth to share – anything that I can do to further assist in the unfolding and blossoming of those gifts would be an honor to facilitate. I’m especially interested in feedback about the 6 Figure Summit which is my fall event. I would love to have you join us there – we have a lot of value to offer.

Back in the Day… August 23rd, 2010
I want to share a funny story with you – a few weeks ago I launched my DIVINE Partners affiliate program and the first email I sent out to my new affiliates had the subject line “Remember that Old Wella Balsam Commercial?”
This commercial was really good at illustrating the point of how just by telling a few friends about something the news spreads and expands exponentially – I wanted to remind people about the power of “telling two friends” and use the reference to this old commercial as a tool to inspire my new affiliates to begin promoting the preview call that initiated the launch of my big fall event the 6 Figure Speakers Summit
So the funny thing is when I set up this email and sent out I figured everyone would “get” it and appreciate the intent in sharing it – well imagine my surprise when – a week later I was talking with my summit support team and half the team had never even heard of the commercial! In fact one of my team members wasn’t even born yet when the commercial was made and aired! Boy was I surprised and I really got a big AHA about my marketing and my communications with my Divine Partners.
1st AHA – Never assume that people know what you are talking about – so here’s the link to the commercial so YOU will know what I’m talking about : Faberge Wheat Germ Oil & Honey Shampoo
2nd AHA – Never assume that your people have the same frame of reference that you do (corollary to 1st AHA)
3rd AHA – Be clear on what your intent is and communicate it in a multitude of ways (It would have served better if I had shared the video link in that first email instead of assuming that people would know)
4th AHA – Never “date” yourself or your materials – try to communicate in a compelling way but be “evergreen” with your message so that no matter who reads it they are going to get it.
5th AHA – This commercial was actually at the time demonstrating a concept that has since been translated into a powerful tool for communicating your message (Social Media) so it was actually modeling a concept that became a future trend (the commercial was also at the very beginning of the “organic” movement.
6th AHA – Make sure your team is also on the same page with you before you send something out – so you are all clear together on the intent of the communication and the team is also prepared to respond if there are customer service or partner issues
7th AHA – remember that you can always use a “boo boo” to your advantage – I ended up sending out a followup email that included the commercial AND gave me the opportunity to have another round of communication with my Divine Partners to encourage them to start promoting again for this week’s Preview Call # 2 on Thursday.
8th AHA – I was able to see that my business is moving to the next level now and so I need to be even more clear, more intentional, more precise and more attentive to my messages.
9th AHA – I learned a lot from this experience – and am able to share it with you!! – I can continue to harvest gold and wisdom that generates valuable content that serves my community! Ahhhhhh AHA!
Hope you enjoyed this post – comments are welcome! And I’d really be overjoyed and delighted if YOU “told two friends….”

Paying Attention To Your Relationships August 14th, 2010
Did you notice??? Lately – I have NOT been paying attention!! I thought I had my act together – but apparently that is NOT the case!! When I broke my arm last winter – I realized that I needed to get help – which I did – and for which I’m very grateful – but what happened is this – I let go of some aspects of my work and my business that were NOT in my best interests to let go of – most importantly – my connection with my community, with the blogosphere and with what I’ve been putting out there.
I stopped writing – for a long time. Now I can release and forgive myself for my lack of writing while I was in a cast – that’s understandable – however – I’ve been out of the cast now for months – and still – no writing. I slacked off and asked someone else to handle getting information out on my blogs and you know what – it SHOWS that I have not been mindful. I’ve not been paying attention at all!
The other day I took a look at my blog and said YUCK! There’s nothing here of substance. Yuck! So I’ve decided it’s time – time to actually PAY ATTENTION to the things that work. To be IN my business – rather than "abdicating" the throne and turning the reigns over to someone else who may or may not know what I REALLY want to say and who certainly doesn’t have the same level of connection (in fact can’t possibly have the same level of connection) with my audience as I do.
Mea Culpa – I come to you now and hope that I can make amends for any damage done to our relationship – I forgive myself and I am also now AWARE. Once you are aware – you can’t make any more excuses. I hope you can forgive me too. I’m not broken any more and my prayer is that I haven’t broken your trust and our relationship with each other.
My commitment is to come back to the basics and to set up a consistent practice of delivering quality, high frequency, valuable content and Divine Wisdom through this channel. I intend to be a better blogger. I hope you’ll continue on the journey with me….
I Also Want to share with you that I have brought In a Partner – a Mindful, Meaningful, Masterful Partner who is Sharing this Entrepreneurial Journey with Me and Has been working hard behind the scenes assisting me in Serving our clients and in Co-creating Our Amazing and now fully empowering Core Path Intensive. We are delivering our work in a whole new more structured format and we’re going to do some MAJOR revisions to this Site this fall – including more meaty posts – more energy Blast Pod Casts – More Energy Tips and Tricks and more Meaningful conversations that we hope and pray you will join as we step into our intention of building a strong and Vibrant community of Energy Masters.
My partner = Mikael Sami – will be writing and posting along with me here to this blog and we’ll be including his bio information and MoRE of His Energy in the Energy Journey going forward – We are TRULY Dancing in a DIVINE Partnership Entrepreneurially speaking and we will be modeling through our work together and through this blog – a sacred dance of balance. Combining Wisdom and Knowledge, masculine and feminine Energies, Structure and Surrender. We look forward to sharing the path with you!

Spend Some Time Outdoors – Energy Blast PodCast #7 August 10th, 2010
In this podcast I discuss the importance of spending some time outdoors to discharge, release and revitalize. Often we get caught in a pattern of working more and relaxing less. We need to remember to take time to get out at least once a day. This is not just a summer thing – you can and should do this during any time of the year. Be sure to download this audio to your mp3 and then go outside to listen to it!
