How Long Have You Been Getting Ready?

GoIs there something you want to BE, DO, HAVE or CREATE?

Is there something you’d like to BUY or SELL?

Are you still getting ready?

Did you know that no matter how much you prepare, you can only fine-tune the details once you START!

Most people get STUCK in the preparation phase and although preparing is part of the fun,
there comes a time when we know we’re ready but we continue to “get ready”.

“You don’t have to be great to start,
but you have to start to be great.”
~~Zig Ziglar

Most of us would love to get everything “right” the first time but that’s not how life works.

If you want to get everything exactly “right”, you’ll be preparing forever.
And who decides that something is “right”?
It’s an adventure, an experience… that’s all.

Someone once said to me, “It all comes down to one moment”.

At some stage we have to make the leap of faith because for most of us (me included) it’s always going to feel uncomfortable.

Movement, or action, is crucial so I’d love you to have the courage to take that leap.

Until you take that leap, important tasks remain hidden; you’ll never move forward because you’ll never reveal those hidden tasks!

It’s an awesome feeling to be in the flow and address things as they make themselves known.

Yes we’re scared we’re going to feel out of control or exposed and vulnerable, but in fact that doesn’t happen.

Instead you feel your soul singing because you’re moving forward and participating in life the way it was intended.

Even in the midst of discomfort, there’s something that feels very right when you’re doing it.

I urge you to dive into being, doing and having what you want.

Just do it…
… that first step will start your path to having everything you want!

How to Get Anything You Want By Being Authentically YOU

AuthenticWouldn’t it be a relief if you could WIN BIG just by being YOURSELF?

Wouldn’t it be a relief to never again COMPETE for anything you want?

The beautiful truth is that’s the world you’re living in right now, if you so choose.

I’ve always believed there’s an easy, HEARTFELT way of creating a wildly successful life and business.

Most people are fed up with the manipulation in our world; they’re looking for authenticity.

What does authenticity mean?

It means you’re transparent, genuinely you, no hidden agendas.
You’re not trying to be someone you’re not.
You’re proudly YOU.

Why does authenticity matter?

When you’re being authentic you’re naturally communicating that to others through a part of their brain that makes decisions… the FEELING part of their brain.

People very quickly sense authenticity.
Most of us applaud, love, appreciate authenticity in others but aren’t yet comfortable being our own authentic self.

It’s a worthy mission because when you can be yourself and authentically live what you believe, you’ll be highly sought after on a personal and professional basis.

1. Think about most marketing and advertising today.

It’s hoping to appeal to customers through price, quality, service, features and benefits.
It’s usually manipulative.

2. Think about a person going for a job interview.

They’re hoping to impress by talking about their qualifications, skills and experience.

3. Think about someone going on a first date.

They’re hoping they say the right things to prove their value.

The common problem with those?

They’re strategic, they’re not genuine… not AUTHENTIC.

How do you become NATURALLY authentic?

People sense your authenticity when you connect from WHY you do what you do, what you stand for and what you BELIEVE in.

When the person believes what you believe, it will FEEL RIGHT for them, they’ll feel comfortable with you, they’ll sense a bond and they’ll feel safe.

But how do you KNOW WHY you do what you do?

Don’t worry, most people have no idea WHY they do what they do or what they believe in, so fortunately there’s a new revolutionary and easy way to find out.

When you KNOW YOUR WHY you will be clear on:

a. WHY you do what you do
b. What you believe
c. What you stand for

Here’s what happens when you KNOW YOUR WHY and EXPRESS what you BELIEVE:

1. Your business:

When you START WITH WHY in your marketing messages, customers who believe what you believe will find you, feel a connection with you and become raving loyal fans.

2. Your job interview:

When you start with what you believe, you’ll immediately differentiate yourself from others. You’re being you, you’re unique and that’s inspiring for those in the interview.

3. Your first date:

When you start with what you believe and WHY you do what you do, you have more chance of getting that second date. Again, you’re merely being you.

How refreshing.

get-your-why-onYou are the way you are for a reason.
You’re unique, you’re different, there’s no-one else like you.
Let’s celebrate that.

This means when you allow the full expression of your true self, you’ll attract people who value what you value and believe what you believe.

When you KNOW YOUR WHY your world begins to make more sense, you gain instant clarity, it’s like being reintroduced to yourself.

It’s a relief.

There are 9 WHYs.

Ask me for more information on how to discover which WHY is yours.

Learn how to express your WHY in your business and attract raving, loyal customers.

Don’t be a copy of someone else.

Be authentically you!

Is Your Troubled Relationship Making You Unwell? (Part 2)

flowers - bunch

I believe a happy person is a healthy person.

Your entire life is interconnected.

In other words it’s no coincidence if you’re sick or diseased and at the same time in a bitter and twisted relationship with someone in your life.
(See Part 1 of “Troubled Relationships”)

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”
~~ Buddha

If you have feelings of…

  • blame
  • hate
  • revenge
  • anger
  • irritation
  • judgement

… please know they’re always felt by you, only YOU.

This means if you hate someone then you’re hating yourself; your own body BECOMES that hate.

Your thoughts and feelings always, always, always manifest in your body, only YOUR body.

If you hate someone you hate you, only YOU.

A little background.

1. Did you know feelings like BLAME, hate, revenge and anger feel so delicious because they flush addictive chemicals throughout your body?

It feels delicious but it’s creating devastation.

These chemicals are more addictive than any drug which is why after a few days you’ll need to create another argument to ensure more flushes of the “blame, hate, anger” chemicals.

You feel “good” after each hit because it’s the same as a drug hit, but the good feeling doesn’t last and you’re back to repeating the cycle for another hit.

2. Did you know when you BLAME or feel hate, revenge or anger, it goes into every cell of your body?

In an instant every cell becomes crippled.
You feel tense, rigid and stressed.

Day after day as you have these feelings, the cell becomes more crippled. It moves into a state of decline, starts SHUTTING DOWN and ages you.

If you ever say, “I am sick of them”, then you are.
Your cells only do as you tell them.

If you’re angry and inflexible in attitude, your body reflects that and it’s almost impossible to EVOLVE as a person if you’re rigid and stiff.

I’ll assume you’d rather not do this to your body so let’s do whatever we can to move you towards love even if you’re angry.

How do you move to a more loving feeling?

1. First make a DECISION.
All desired outcomes start with a decision.
DECIDE you’re going to evolve and become the best you can be.

2. You may be surprised, but I’m NOT going to suggest you suppress your feelings.
Why? Because society has taught us to suppress and that’s why it keeps coming back up.
We’ve been taught to be “nice”, to fit in and “behave”.
That’s not FREEDOM, that’s suppression; no wonder people are angry.

The way to WELLNESS is to FEEL the feeling but OBSERVE yourself with the feeling.
As if you’re a scientist observing an experiment.

BE AWARE of what’s happening; it’s the awareness that will move you into WELLNESS, letting it go and evolving.

3. You’ll need to re-commit to this decision every day.

4. Self-discipline will be needed because we’re all so addicted to those chemicals but YOU WILL BE REWARDED because you’ll start to feel more love and that love will always, always, always manifest in your body, only YOUR body.

If you love someone you love you, only YOU.

Don’t do this because THEY deserve it.
Do it because YOU deserve it.

LOVE is it’s own reward.
Allow your troubled relationship to teach you about LOVE OF YOURSELF.

I’ve had to do this in my life; I know it’s not easy but IT IS POSSIBLE if you’re willing.

“Only the powerful can show love,
especially during adversity or conflict.”
~~ Janet Poole – How to Get Anything You Want – Just Like That!

What if you’re not ready to do this now?

Well, you’ll be ready if you become more sick or feel low enough, and of course there’s always next lifetime.

Stop the blame, let go of judgement, introduce love and take responsibility in becoming the person you want to see in others.

Be merciful to that person who is driving you nuts because after all it’s you who receives the gift of mercy.

Are you WILLING to no longer be sick?

Your Troubled Relationships – Could This Be The Hidden Cause? (Part 1)

We only see WHAT WE WANT TO SEE.

It’s rare for us to see things as they truly are.

If we were WILLING to see things the way they are, many of our issues would be gone in a flash.

Most of us have no idea that we’re STUBBORN.

We don’t know we’re stubborn because it’s hidden and we don’t want to hear the idea of being stubborn because we’d rather blame something or someone… but that’s not the path to FREEDOM.

“Humility and freedom go hand in hand.
Only a humble person can be free.”

~~ Jeff Wilson

The more challenging the relationship and the closer the relationship, the more stubborn we get!

I hope you know by now – intellectually at least – that you can only change yourself.

It’s strange.

We know this and expect it of others, but when it comes to our own interactions with others we stubbornly insist THEY change.

Quantum physics proves that’s not how it works, but would you truly like to depend on others for your happiness?

You see, we can’t see the situation as it really is.

“We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters,
your brothers, the school, the teachers – but never blame
yourself. It’s never your fault.
But it’s always your fault, because if you wanted to
change you’re the one who has got to change.”

~~ Katharine Hepburn
Now… if you’re being stubborn, what does that mean for you?

A lot.

It means you’ve put your life on hold; you’re waiting for someone else to change.

The problem with waiting?

What if they never change?

It means you’re stuck and choosing to hold yourself back from a beautiful life.

It’s you… you’re doing this. No-one else.

Day after day you’re giving your attention to something that drags you down.
Day after day you’re blaming the other person and giving your power to them.

That person controls your life.

The weeks go by, the tension mounts and you get more irritated, frustrated and angry.
You’ll probably whine and complain with whoever will listen.

If you’re okay with that there’s nothing more to be said (but I urge you to check out part 2 of this article)

Alternatively, you could see this as a golden opportunity to grow personally, liberate yourself and move into fun rewards.

What can you do?

Take the initiative and ask yourself what you can do to create your own happiness and NEVER AGAIN depend on anyone else. 

This is a path only for the humble and courageous because blame feels so delicious but…

What if you saw this as good news?
What if you could see you’ve been imprisoning yourself?
What if you could see you’re holding the key to your own freedom?

I’m unwilling for my happiness to depend on other people’s behaviour.

I LOVE the rewards I get by choosing my happiness; it feels good.

How about you?
I hope you go for taking responsibility because your happiness depends on it!

How to Get Massive Business Growth the Heart-Felt Way

WHY-Logo-SymbolDo you ever feel you have to be what you’re NOT, in order to succeed?

I’ve felt the pressure to do that, most of us have.

More so since publishing my book, mainly because I entered the world of marketing.

You may have noticed marketing is generally manipulative e.g. they use fear, peer pressure etc which doesn’t sit right with me.

The strategies create stress for everyone involved and are short-term solutions.

While I believe most businesses start out with intentions beyond self-gain, they often slip into becoming more about profit and beating the competition than genuine service.

I’ve believed for the longest time it’s possible for us all to create a wildly successful business and life in an authentic, heart-centred “true to ourselves” kind of way.

– I believe we never have to steamroll anyone
– I believe there’s no need to be competitive
– I believe there’s no need for manipulation
– I believe we can succeed by being authentically ourselves.

Consider this…

Simon Sinek wrote a book called Start with WHY.

Start with WHY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sioZd3AxmnE

It all starts with your WHY.

Your WHY is your gift, it’s what makes you unique and special.
Your WHY is what you believe.

Have you ever asked,
“WHY AM I HERE?”
“WHY DO I MATTER?”

When you know your WHY, your life makes sense.

Great… but what if you DON’T KNOW YOUR WHY?

And this WHY is NOT the reason you want to lose weight or start a project, it’s much, MUCH deeper than that.

get-your-why-onOnce you KNOW YOUR WHY…

– you get CLARITY and DIRECTION
– you live with PASSION
– you attract GREAT CUSTOMERS who become RAVING FANS
– you transform your BUSINESS CULTURE
– you hire the RIGHT PEOPLE
– your employees become ENGAGED and INSPIRED
– your relationships get CLOSER and BETTER

BUT… all of this can only happen when you KNOW YOUR WHY.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

It all starts when you KNOW YOUR WHY!
