I was listening to an awesome audio recording from Amber McLean, The Launch Chick tonight, as part of her Launch Fest program, which discussed business models based on teaching others your craft. Essentially, the model is set up so that people enter your programs learning how to do what you do at the basic level. [...]
I used to be a prolific writer. I had several sites I was involved in writing for, along with guest posts, blogging carnivals, and other activities. I averaged 1-4 posts a week for nearly 2 years. I’m not sure when it all stopped, but it did all stop, and quite abruptly. Maybe it was the [...]
In the process of trying to come up with a vision board for the Adventures in Manifesting program, I went back through my list of goals that I had made a few weeks ago. What I noticed is that several of the top New Year’s resolutions were missing off this list — exercising, losing weight, [...]
As part of the Adventures in Manifesting program, I was recently asked what theme I was going to have for 2011. I sat down last night and thought about this for a long time in silence. What wrong am I going to make right? What bad habit am I finally going to break through to [...]
Have you ever seen the Supernanny Jo Frost give a time out to a small child? She basically sets the amount of time, say 1 minute, and then places the child into the time-out location. Every time the child moves, the timer is reset as the child is placed back into the location. She will [...]
I had a giant tantrum this week — like a real, honest, 5-year-old hissy fit. I was given a decluttering assignment in the Adventures in Manifesting program, and basically went into a downward spiral of obligation from all the things I have piled on my plate. I won’t go into the gory details because I’m [...]
Let’s be honest — I would not be an entrepreneur if I didn’t have high standards. The drive to be my best, to venture into new things, and to solve new problems is what makes me who I am. I can go a little too far with it though. I have mentally beat myself up [...]
Hard work is not fatal. It’s uncomfortable. — Dave Navarro, The Launch Coach I am on the path to launch a product in the next 30 days. (I’m going to put that in print so that I can hold myself to it!) I feel like I have experienced some serious highs and lows in just [...]
I’m not going to launch my new product today. I wanted to, but it is impossible to conceive the item and launch it in 24 hours over a holiday with two kids in tow and a part-time schedule. It just isn’t going to happen, and I have to be okay with that. It will come [...]
The next steps, after a vision emerges is not to make plan. Not to figure out how.
The next steps are to greet your vision warmly. To welcome it into your heart. To simply let it live in you as you walk about your life for several days. To make friends with it. To let it know you’ll be on it’s side. To see what it wants to say. To see what life brings you. To marinate in it, walk with it, listen to it, receive it, welcome it, sit still with it.
Those are the next steps.
Wow! This take on creating a vision could have not come at a better time for me, after leaving myself so ripped open writing my last post on here.
