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 →

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 →

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 →

Effective Speaking is Effective Time Management

Posted on by

“There is a time for everything…” - Ecclesiastes 3:1

It probably sounds strange to describe a speech or a presentation as a time management issue. But in practice the greatest challenge for the speaker is to bring his or her speech in on time, and never, never, never compress and/or shorten the conclusion. This would be similar to telling a long and funny joke and them simply leaving off or rushing the punch line.

As you watch the time during a presentation it is far better to adjust by shortening the body of the speech to protect the time required for the conclusion. Continue reading →

How to Make Your Speech Memorable!

Posted on by

The more intelligible a thing is, the more easily it is retained in the memory, and contrariwise, the less intelligible it is, the more easily we forget it. Benedict Sinoza

The goal of any speech, any presentation and in fact any conversation is to align your ideas and words, your tone and delivery and your body language and expression, to have the maximum impact on whoever you are addressing. Your goal is to be memorable.

Admittedly not every conversation needs to be held to these high standards, but there are many occasions when you want the power and persuasiveness of your message to create a vivid and an indelible impression. And of course a critical skill for advancement & promotion of professionals is their ability to communicate their ideas effectively. Continue reading →
