Do you have a mission to transform the world?

Most of us do and for good reason because this world is in dire need of healing! As conscious people, we feel this urgency to our core and many of us have answered the call… with our business.

My business has always been on a world saving mission yet I have also learned that I cannot save the world if I can’t save myself!

For years I fought the good fight with my magazine business only to have it all fall down because of financial struggle, lack of clear focus and dare I say… lazy marketing.

These days, I chalk it all up to learning now that Life Stylized, my new personal development business has finally created the financial income and magnetism that I always yearned for. So what shifted?

Well, I made some massive changes to the way I positioned my message and I created a huge shift in my mindset. A winning combination!

Now, in my usual modus operandi, I want to teach you what I have learned in my 10+ years of business struggle so that I can HELP YOU save the world MUCH FASTER!

Our latest heart-centered program- Marketing Made Simple will empower you and YOUR business to create faster results, make more money, help more people AND reach the people who really need to hear your message and receive your services.

Does God Know Where to Send YOUR Money?

For years in my business I struggled. I was the hardest working broke person I knew. It seemed that no matter how consistent my efforts were, they yielded very little ROI in the tangible means I need to thrive. I couldn’t figure it out to save my life until one day someone pointed out to me that I was too scattered in my message and offerings for God to know where to send the big money.

That landed! Big time!

I am such a creative person with so many interests that for years in my business I was making these deadly mistakes that kept me from getting true financial traction in my business…

• Trying to speak to too many people at once
• Being focused on serving everyone instead of someone
• Not being specific enough in my marketing messages
• Working on too many projects at once

From the outside, it looked like I was up to amazing things. And I was, but financially I was on a roller coaster without the thrills and it was causing me to question everything about myself.

Sound familiar?

The day I realized that I was watering down my business success with my wide casting net, I committed to getting focused. I committed to getting crystal clear on who I serve. I made a promise to myself that I would stick to doing ONE thing at a time.

And it worked!

Clients started to come, my bank account started to grow and I began to feel like my purpose had finally begun to unfold. Simply put, I was back in flow and life was feeling GOOD!

So I ask you…
- Are you crystal clear on who specifically you are meant to serve with your business?
- Are clients finding you easily and happily paying for your services?
- Is your marketing effective?

If the answer is NO, then join us for our upcoming Heart-centered Marketing workshop for world changing business owners where we will teach you exactly how to improve your efforts so that you too can help the people you are meant to serve and stop struggling!

The Cost of Putting Yourself Last
by Sierra J. Sullivan

Dear Soul Sister-

Though we may not have met (yet), I know how awesome you are. I know how hard you work to take care of the people you love. I know how hard your work on your career.  I know about the many countless hours that you spend contributing to the happiness of others and the pursuit of your passions. I see the contributions you make everyday to the betterment of the world around you and I know all too well the self-sacrifice that has come along with it.

This sacrifice comes at a high cost. Not just to you, but to your daughters, your friends daughters, your sons, your partners, your co-workers and beyond. As women, we give to the point of exhaustion and illness. Every day, we give in to the world’s perception of how we should look. We give in to our own doubts about our beauty and abilities… On and on I could go.

For one of the most “liberated” countries in the world, here are some alarming statistics on just how “un-liberated” western women still are today… Continue reading

Who Defines What is Beautiful?

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us most.
We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us.
And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech - Maryanne Williamson

 

Who defines what is beautiful?

Is it the Movie, Television and the Entertainment Industry; the Fashion Industry or the Cosmetics Industry (read here Chemical Companies); the so-called beauty Magazines or the Publishing Industry or perhaps you would get a completely unbiased assessment by your local plastic surgeon?

Note the common theme here – Industry. Every one of these groups has a huge investment in convincing you that without their product – your beauty is impossible.

So why trust them?

Do I look fat in this outfit?

Do I look fat in this outfit?  That is every man’s dreaded question from the woman or women they love.  Most of them have learned by now that there really is NO good answer to that question.  Men know that their woman usually has her own distorted view of her body thanks to many societal factors and made-up beliefs.

Usually that question comes when a woman is feeling overwhelmed, under appreciated, overworked, or just plain PMS overtaken. When a woman begins to pick at her appearance (or others), there is usually a bigger underlying cause than her weight.  When we are feeling rested, nurtured, confident and loved we are less inclined to take issue with the way we look in our clothes. Sure, our weight fluctuates over the years causing us to re-evaluate our lifestyle  and exercise choices but women are really good at overcoming these minor challenges on a whole.   Continue reading

Where Does the ‘Skip’ Go?

Sure God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece.

When you see a group of children running across a playground it is difficult not to smile. You are instantly young again, or at least in heart, reminded of the unrestrained joy of those carefree days. It is interesting how boys and girls express this exuberance differently as they are released from the constraints of a classroom.

The boys burst across the ground in a straight line, like sprinters released from blocks. They are instantly competitive and aggressive; like ants desperately protecting their nest, as they jostle and push and shove and roughhouse.

By contrast girls skip and dance and flow across the ground. They rhythmically spring and skip from step-to-step, as though responding to irresistible inner music. Once this creative ballet has been excised they gather in groups and engage in animated, joyful, energetic and uninhibited conversation.

The question is – where does the skip go?

Somewhere in the early teens the skip disappears. It is not gone – but it does seem to be suppressed and discarded. It is as though this expression of the joy of living is no longer necessary or it is constrained by the inhibition of some arcane standard of behavior? Continue reading

Discover Yourself – Discover Your Future!

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. 

Criticize me, and I may not like you. 

Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. 

Encourage me, and I will not forget you. 

Love me and I may be forced to love you.

William Arthur Ward

When we consider improving the balance in our lives it is important to continually explore self-awareness, to seek greater self-esteem and to build stronger self-confidence.  In discussing empowerment and particularly women’s empowerment it should be obvious that no one can empower anyone.

The best way forward is self-empowerment.

Fifty percent of the world population is female and historically and realistically there has been and continues to be widespread discrimination.  This dynamic, which includes physical abuse, is an integral element in the cellular memory of all women.

The most difficult challenge we all face is to break free from the chains of our own self-limiting belief patterns. This breakout will enable women to explore new options, to see new possibility and find new ideas, and to discover their true beauty and real power.

You are not alone.

“When it comes to our healing, we must do it by ourselves… But we cannot do it alone.”  – David Neagle

I had a heart-opening morning in deep conversation with my husband. As we were working through our process a beautiful flock of Robins and one Cardinal bird gathered on a tree outside our window.

It reminded me that even when we think we are alone…in the cold, unable to see past the storm, we are surrounded by others who are in it as well.

That inspiration plus my own inner process gave me what I needed to write to you today. Perhaps it will help you to see that no matter how great your struggles are, you are not alone.

Life is full of challenges. Sometimes it’s just plain hard. Even though I hear what all the masters say about change not needing to be hard…I often struggle with that. I believe most of us do. Continue reading
