Times Are Changing – Are YOU Ready?

Things are certainly changing in the world. The US is having a recession and from what I hear things are not so great in the rest of the world either. However, having said that, this is not a time to buy into fear which is what the media would have you do!

Just because things are different doesn’t necessarily mean they are worse. Some of the worst economic times have created the most financial business success for people.

The most important thing is not to give up or give in. Don’t listen to the news constantly especially last thing before you go to bed. This will only cause stress. Remember to think as positively as possible. Read, listen to and watch positive joyful things. Check out my good friend Alexandra Watsons blog for a dose of happiness thinking. She’s the UK’s leading Happiness expert and each week shares some of her highly successful information at http://happyhelp.politicsandthecity.com Now is a great time to discover her significant secrets.

Remember you can achieve whatever you want in this life whether we’re in a recession or not. It’s just about believing in yourself and keep moving forward.

If you really want to get on track take a look at my brand new business telephone boot camp starting in January and check out the Early Bird Prices at www.sayyestoyoucoaching.com/bootcamp.html.

The most important thing to remember is not to buy into fear. Just because there’s a recession doesn’t mean you have to take part. I don’t choose to, you can do this too?

Are You Ready and Clear About What YOU Want?

My grandson turned 7 this past weekend and as I watched him play basketball with his friend it was very clear that he definitely knew what it was he wanted. He wanted to score goals and that’s what he focused on doing as they ran around throwing the ball from one to the other. They didn’t think about what they didn’t want only about what they did want.

As you come into 2009 don’t focus on what you don’t want, become really clear about what it is you do want! In order to attract and manifest what you want it’s very important to know what it is. Don’t just think you know which is what a lot of people do, be really sure. Write down how you would like your ‘ideal’ life and business to look.

Create the picture in your mind, make an action plan, stay focused and keep moving forward with that picture in mind just as my grandson had the picture in his mind of shooting the ball into the goal and he scored more often than not because he knew what he was going for.

Always remember that although reaching the goal is important, it’s just as important to enjoy the journey. Don’t give up be persistent and persevere. Everything is about energy so keep your energy high. Have fun stay in the moment and know that it’s not about perfection it’s just about staying on the path and taking one step at a time.

Are You Buying into Fear?

It’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted and a lot has happened in the world since then that is creating a great deal of fear in people, especially here in the US.

Although there is definitely a recession I have chosen not to be part of it. Will it affect me yes, my retirement fund is losing money fast! Am I going to go through every day living fearfully, absolutely not!

I’m in touch with reality however, I decided I’m not buying into the frenzy that is going on.

You can either buy into the fear or let go! If you don’t have control over a situation what’s the point of spending each day being afraid of what might happen tomorrow, next week or next year. Suppose it never happens, you will have spent all that time being stressed for nothing. Catastrophic thinking not only plays with your mind, it also causes stress which is the internal response to an external event.

Take some action if you need to. Cut back if necessary. Clip coupons on and offline. Stop buying expensive Starbucks. Carpool. Do whatever you need to do, just don’t buy into fear. Check out sites like www.Thriftyfun.com, www.gasbuddy.com. You can find almost anything online these days including coupons for discounts.

Every time a fear comes up, acknowledge it and then replace it with something positive and move on. I know you might be saying easier said than done however, it really is easy to do and very simple.

Live your life fearlessly with power and don’t buy into anything you read or hear. Journalists and media have to have something to use as fodder and for now this is it. Not everything you read is true!

What are you attracting?

About six months ago I decided to start observing the patterns and behavior of people in business to see what it is that the most successful and wealthy of them do that makes the difference between making it and struggling. I also had some very interesting conversations.

One of the most obvious things I've discovered, apart from the fact that they set specific goals, (usually written) make commitments and then take the necessary action is that they mix with successful people. This brought me back to something I heard many years ago from some hugely successful entrepreneurs. If you want to be successful make sure the people around you are successful. If you want to make money, mix with people who have money, if you want to be infused with positive energy have positive people around you, if you want to be happy mix with happy people, spiritual people and so forth.

So, my friends take a deep breathe. Close your eyes for a moment and go inside, reach deep into your own power and intuition. Just breathe and relax.
Attracting what you want in life is about energy, yours and the people around you.

Take a look around you and notice the people in your life. Do they think and talk positively? Are they living in the now? Are they truly committed to taking action to move forward? . If you're not working with clients/customers who you're truly happy to be working with, don't. If you're in a job you don't love, find one that you do or start thinking about becoming your own boss. It’s not nearly as challenging as people think.

I know that if I someone's home, car or office are a mess there's a lot more chaos going on in their head than they are willing to admit. Don't let this be you. Get real; get honest with yourself about yourself and what you are doing and tolerating in life. Allow the energy within and around you to be flowing easily so that you can attract the abundance and success you want in life in all ways.

Release any kind of poverty (lack) thinking, just let it go and know that any fear you might be holding onto is not real, it's just a thought and probably not even one you originally created.

Breathe and Relax. How are you going to live your life? Who are you going to surround yourself with?

Life is too short not to live it the way you want, remember it's about "Saying Yes to YOU."

Achieve What You Want In Life

As I’m sure most other people have been, I’ve been watching the Olympics with awe and amazement.

Seeing these young people reach the goals they want to achieve and receiving their medals, tells us that there are many people out there who know without a doubt that it’s absolutely possible to achieve what you want in life.

Imagine being a young guy of 23 and winning 8 gold medals in one Olympics, beating all previous records or the 41 year old swimmer who won silver medals. Both very determined, with great perseverance and their efforts paid off.

Most people hit a wall and instead of finding a way to go around the wall they just stop. I’m sure these Olympians hit walls from time to time but it didn’t stop them. It doesn’t matter what area of life, if you’re not where you want to be, do something about it. Think Bigger, Expand your mind. It’s never too late, you’re never too old, or for that matter, never too young and yes you can achieve anything you want in life. I’ve proven that to myself over and over. If I can do it, you can too!

Productivity and Perfection

My apologies for not posting last week. Many new things have been happening at The Astonishing Power of You.

One of the things I’ve been hearing on my master mind calls and various coaching calls is about productivity and perfection and strangely enough both of these go together and can really create obstacles in business and in life.

Being busy does not mean you are being productive or efficient. We can all find things to keep us busy! I know I used to do that, procrastinating big time on putting off things that were too fearful in case I would fail or in case I didn’t do something perfectly. I could keep myself busy all day and still not get much accomplished☺

Take a look at what you are doing during a day, especially in business. Do you have a good time management plan, do you use some kind of planner for your days so you know what you’re doing, when and where? If you’re in a service oriented business are you organized and focused so that your clients get what they need?

Ask yourself a question: If I keep doing things this way will I achieve the prosperity, joy and abundance I would like? Does the way I do things align with my values?

You will find a great difference in your days if you have a plan in place to stay focused and motivated. Your energy will be higher and you will attract many more positive things into your business and life.

Friend or Foe?

Which one are you to yourself? Here we are a little more than half way through the year. A very important year for the US and a very important year for you too! Why is that you say? How about something really simple like it’s time to check whether you are on track for the year, whether you are being your friend or are working against yourself?

This time of the year is a great time to rate your professional and/or personal life. If you use the wheel and follow the instructions you will know whether you are on track for the year with balance, success, finances, relationships and life in general.

Directions: rate yourself in each category on a scale of 1-10, with 1 the lowest at the wheel's center and 10 the highest at the outer edge. Rate yourself in terms of current satisfaction by drawing a line across from spoke to spoke.

Then answer some questions for yourself:
1. Looking at the way I rated the wheel what does my life look like? Is it balanced, am I happy with everything the way it is?
2. If this were the wheel on a car would it run smoothly?

If your life is not looking the way you want it at this half way point in the year, I encourage you to make some changes so that by the time the end of the year arrives, it looks more like the life you really want.
