Todays post is a guest post by creative muse, copywriter and writer Giovanna Marcus Q: How do you get that stratospheric leap you’ve been wanting? A: Stand out in your marketing! It’s no secret that putting out attention-grabbing, crave-worthy, and consistent content is the way to build your sphere of raving fans (just like a home cooked meal is the way to my heart). But before you get to the point, there are a few things that may be standing in…
Today is day #23 of a 100 day exercise commitment I’m doing. What that means is, I am choosing to move my body for a minimum 30 minutes EVERY day – whether I feel like it or not. I’m actually not doing it to lose weight or be healthier (although it will probably result in both) This is an exercise in strengthening my ability to truly COMMIT to something. Really commit. Not half ass, lying-to-myself, pretending-I’m-really-committed-but-letting-it-slide-if-it-gets-hard-or-inconvenient, or, I’ll-get-to-it-tomorrow, kind of…
It’s August 2010 and I’m walking through the exhibitors hall at the EWomen’s conference in Dallas – having an epic meltdown. I’m crying my eyes out. Feeling totally overwhelmed, lost and alone. I’m confused and struggling with self doubt and fear. I’m surrounded by all these amazing women entrepreneurs and I’ve convinced myself they are all smarter, more savvy, more accomplished than me. I have completely forgotten the amazing accomplishments in my life up till that moment. (Which included…
I spent the first part of my life trying to be anything but myself. I am an empath. That is, I have the ability to powerfully feel other people’s feelings (particularly when they are trying not to feel them themselves). I have an acute sensitivity to, and awareness of, energy – and emotions are energy. I am also clairaudient and clairsentient. Clairaudience (clear hearing) is one of the four metaphysical senses, the others being clairvoyant (clear seeing), clairsentient (clear sensing),…
I often say “Business is just another path of Soul growth”. This is because, in my own journey to building 3 successful businesses and having a life I love to wake up to everyday, I have discovered it’s more about who you become in the process. It’s about being who you need to BE. So you can do what you need to DO. And have what you want to HAVE. More than anything, it’s a journey of self acceptance. Learning to love…
A sound causes me to look up from my desk. My husband is standing in the open doorway of my office, a pained look on his face. “Robbie died today”. What? My initial response is that he is joking. His face crumples and he lowers his head as a loud sob escapes – I immediately realize that he is not. I jump to my feet and grab hold of him. Instinctively…
I have been in almost constant motion for the first six months of this year. It’s all been good. As one person commented on my FB thread last week “you are living the dream”. That is true. Most importantly, I am living MY dream. Are you living YOURS? For a good chunk of my earlier life, I was living someone else’s dream. Initially, I was living the dreams my parents had for me (doing ballet and music lessons, going to…
A few weeks ago I was completing the intake form for my new coach. One of the questions asked: “Where are you consistently letting your clients down?”. My instinctive response was a defensive, indignant “I’m NOT!”. (Lol!) Noticing my rapid and reactive response, I took a breath and asked myself: “If you were, where would that be?”. I suddenly remembered a comment a private client had made about 6 months earlier – that she wished I had a mastermind…
“I feel so stuck!” “I know what I need to do and I’m just not doing it. I find myself procrastinating and I’m freaking out because I’ve so much to do and I’m just not taking action. I’m not making enough money in my business. I’m so disgusted with myself!” Sound familiar? I hear these statements all the time. I’ve said them myself. Then there are those times we don’t even realize that we are stuck. We are busy. Very busy….
“Success is not an accident. Success is a choice” ~ Suzanne Evans It was April 2013. I sat in the audience at Suzanne Evans ‘Be The Change’ event in Orlando Florida. I watched as different entrepreneurs went on stage to collect their awards. 10k month awards, 6 figure business awards… 7 figure business awards (what?!). The room pulsated with energy, music pumping, lights flashing. I felt a familiar sensation building in my body: Excitement and Inspiration. Witnessing this was…
