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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
This is my entry for December 28th in the #reverb10 challenge. For those who may be unfamiliar with it, Reverb 10 is an annual event and online initiative to reflect on your year and manifest what’s next. Today’s prompt is ACHIEVE: December 28 – Achieve. What’s the thing you most want to achieve next year? [...]
This is an article on a goal-setting site with a free PDF download that walks you through goal setting for 2011. The writing in this is not all that great (I think English is her second or third language), but the ideas are solid. I’m going to talking a lot about goals in the upcoming weeks, and I thought I would share some of the links I’ve found as I go.
