The world is shifting, and there's a different way to do business than what we've been taught or modeled.

Traditional business has been built around a model of "get it done & get it done quick." It very much requires a lot of masculine action-oriented energies and strengths. That has served us well in the past, but now, especially for women (and honestly, for men too), it’s time for business to change.

It's the idea that both the feminine and masculine energies have a place - and should have a place - in business and life. That your business is one nourishing part of your life, not an energy-drainer or all-consuming. You want a business that is an outlet for your passion, a business that helps you change the world or makes it better in some way. And your business should provide you with financial success so you can continue to do your world-changing work.

As women, we can't continue with the current way of being in business. As women, we can't continue to drain our energy trying to do it like someone else who doesn't understand our natural strengths, our individual rhythms and our lifestyle priorities.

It's a brand-new way of doing business--and there aren't many models out there and certainly not a map of how to go about running such a business.

That's what the SpiritRICH™ Business Teleseries is all about. I want to help women entrepreneurs understand that they can grow their business to wildly successful heights while at the same time honoring their whole lives –whether it’s children, parents, travel, hobbies, vibrant health or (and) life purpose.

Join me for three calls (while they can all be listened to individually, they'll be the most powerful when you join us for all three):

• Thursday, November 5: The 5 Shifts Happening in the World For Women Entrepreneurs – and Why YOU Need to Know About Them to Be Successful!
• Thursday, November 12: The 7 Traps that Keep Women Entrepreneurs From Authentic Success
• Thursday, November 19: What You Need to Know To Market Yourself Like a Business Goddess

*All calls are 3:00 – 4:00 eastern

The first call is tomorrow on those very shifts in business. If you want to be successful in your business, you have to know what these shifts are all about! Join me as I encourage you to think differently about how you run your business, and how you show up in your business.

I look forward to having you on the first call tomorrow!

En-JOY!

I LOVE to track where the joy is flowing in my life and business!  It's one of my top "energy shifters" when I am at my morning Creative Bagel Time.  So, when I cam across this wonderful blog and "movement" by Heather & Stacey and friends - I just had to join in.

Not only is finding appreciation, gratitude and JoyFlow fun...but it is deceptively simple way to shift your energy and thoughts to inspiration, joy and expansion....from this place it's SO much easier to create...whether you are creating a project, a new client, a program or creating a postive connection with a friend or your children.

Won't you join me in 30 days of Thanks?  Oh and I'm going to be compassionate...today I'm feeling the energy, I'm commited and if I miss a day...no internal whipping, deal?  Click here to read more and then let me know you are joining in or comment on my JoyFlow Thanks below...I love hearing from you.  Your energy gives me energy and vice versa!!  THANK you~

Day 1: My 30 Days of Thanks

Beautiful Bright Blue Morning Glories!

Every morning for the last couple of weeks as I sit in my office on the 2nd story I can see a row of trees that are growing behind the fence in our backyard.  They have been turning beautiful golden colors of red, orange and yellow...right in the middle of this one tree are bright spots of blue...Morning Glories!  We planed the vines from seeds last spring and thought they would look beautiful along the fence...but they had other ideas...they've stretched 20 feet up into this tree ...almost as though they want to give me a gift on the 2nd floor...

I'm savoring before the bareness of winter comes...

En-JOY!

The trick-or-treaters are ready to come out, and turkeys are starting to appear at the grocery store. Along with the impending holidays, it’s also that time when we start thinking about ideas for next year. What’s possible? What dreams do you have for your business and for your life? Is this the year where they all really take off?

I want to share with you my 3 biggest tips for starting off the new year in a powerful way to truly manifest your dreams.

1.    Focus on your 3 biggest intentions. Make a list of all the things you would like to be, see, experience, manifest, and have in the next year. Then select the 3 most important ones. So if nothing else happened but these 3, then you’d just giggle with the delight of success! Post these 3 bigintentions everywhere so you keep them front and center. Keep them alive!

2.    NOW is the time to carve out time to create and plan 2010. Don’t wait until after the holidays and realize January is already upon you. Right now – open up your calendar and plan time for a creative retreat for yourself, plan your mastermind time, and really commit to your 3 big intentions. You’ll start off the new year with powerful focus, flow and energy!

3.    Decide on what support you need to be successful. The time of pushing hard, going at it alone, being determined to MAKE things happen is over. The price on our physical, mental and spiritual selves is too steep. Find a like-minded, like-spirited mastermind group to support you and champion your 3 big intentions and work with a successful mentor coach to help you truly create your 3 big intentions.

The energy of collaboration, relationship, nurturing and mentorship will move you forward in more powerful ways that are filled with more ease, grace and celebration!

Your homework: 

1.    Right now – open your calendar and plan your creative time in 2009 and your 2010 vision.

2.    Make a list of possible intentions for 2010. Pick your top 3 that have the most energy and excitement for you (and yes, there may be some fear….as long as there is excitement, too). These are the BIG 3! 

3.    Decide to harness the power of masterminding – find your tribe of support and commitment. You’ll feel really confident going into the new year knowing you have the love, support, inspiration and motivation from your mentor and a mastermind group. Who is your mentor and mastermind support for 2010?

En-joy!
