<h2><a href="http://shop.holstee.com/pages/about"><img class="size-medium wp-image-11291 aligncenter" title="The Holstee Life Manifesto" src="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Screen-shot-2012-02-15-at-2.46.41-AM-296x300.png" alt="" width="296" height="300" /></a></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>How Do You Know When to Call it Quits: On Your job and Other Distractions from Your Purpose</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I look back and wonder exactly when I tipped the scales, <strong>from being tolerant of my job to refusing to give another hour of service</strong> to a company that I no longer believed in (and I promise to tell you the answer in a minute).</span></p>
<p>There are so many intricacies to every relationship and the relationship you have with your job is no different. There are good days and there are bad days and so long as there is love and mutual respect and understanding, you willingly stay.</p>
<blockquote><p>But when love has taken leave and y<strong>our heart is longing to<a href="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/2011/04/21/a-scanners-resume-how-to-tell-if-youre-one/" target="_blank"> fulfill its multiple passions</a>,</strong> when you count the hours until you are away from your workplace, and when you simply dread the thought of going into work, it is high time to think about <strong>quitting with grace and smarts.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Every relationship comes to an end.</p>
<p>If we are lucky, we take some of them all the way to our dying day but that&#8217;s highly unlikely with most of them.</p>
<p>And when the relationship with your job comes to an <strong>end</strong>, instead of holding on to it, <strong>overstaying your welcome</strong> and <strong>destroying every excitement y</strong>ou held about work, you need to exit gracefully, holding your head up high as you move on to the next fabulous adventure of your life.</p>
<p>Yet, the <strong>resistance</strong> surrounding this ideal scenario I just painted is not uncommon.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>First</strong>, there is the <strong>fear of leaving a &#8220;secure&#8221; job</strong>, except that nothing is secure and realistically, a job is far less secure than holding your future in your own hands.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Second</strong>, the <strong>fear of the unknown and the uncertainty ahead</strong> but honestly, there is uncertainty in every single day and hour of our life and yet somehow, the idea of employment manages to magically mask that on large scales. Trust me, you are not safe from uncertainty by holding on to a job.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Third</strong>, the terrifying <strong>idea</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>change</strong> &#8211; change of schedule and people and routine and environment, combined with anxieties of not knowing how to cope with said change.</li>
</ul>
<p>But you are a human being.</p>
<p>You were <strong>made to be fierce and strong</strong> and survive in the wild.</p>
<p>Your ancestors fought tigers and lions and hunted for food in the jungles. Surely, you can arm yourself with courage enough to go out there in this modern world full of possibility and demand of yourself to bring your passions to life and build profits around them.</p>
<p><strong>Your <a href="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/2011/09/01/5-ways-to-quit-the-confusion-find-your-passion/" target="_blank">passions can be anything</a></strong> – it may very well be to become a corporate star or a Fortune 100 CEO or it may be to have a fabulous family and raise stand-up citizens that will change the course of history.</p>
<blockquote><p>Whatever lies at the <strong>core of your heart</strong> is your passion and there is a way to turn that into an income and a profit if you choose to believe so.</p></blockquote>
<p>You have an obligation to <strong>give yourself a chance</strong>, a true chance at happiness because no one in this world will do that for you and how could they?</p>
<p>No one knows you as well as you know yourself.</p>
<p>You owe it to yourself to <strong><a href="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/2011/04/21/a-scanners-resume-how-to-tell-if-youre-one/" target="_blank">pursue your passion</a>s</strong> at least once and to do something that you believe in at least once, before giving up on life and resigning to status quo. You deserve as much of a chance as your own role models and heroes that live the kind of lifestyle that speaks to you.</p>
<blockquote><p>And <strong>you owe it to yourself to see that potential through</strong> and really push yourself to reach the dreams that you have secretly been nurturing.</p></blockquote>
<p>One thing is for certain: you cannot do any of this when you stay in a place that is not aligned to your dreams, your values and your purpose. So <strong>have a little faith and a lot of courage</strong>. Believe in your ability to make smart decisions.</p>
<p>Start with creating a smart exit plan out of that place to one where you can truly thrive and prosper and where your gifts can really shine.</p>
<p>I have put together a 6<strong>-week step-by-step course to help you build a <a href="http://www.smartexitblueprint.com?ap_id=sparkles" target="_blank">smart exit strategy out of the wrong job and into the right path</a> </strong>(affiliate link).</p>
<p>When I was making my way out of Corporate America, no such resource was available to help me think through the practical steps of making a professional transition. No one could tell me the how of leaving. It took me weeks to put together a plan that made sense.</p>
<p>What I learned plus 4 months of research since then have turned into a massive course that prepares any of you going through this difficult transition. It will arm you with <strong>everything you need to make a professional move from the wrong job into the right place!</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>As to what tipped the scale for me, it was not the extreme boredom, or the awareness that I was in the wrong job or even the money as a means for survival.</p>
<p>It was <strong>the fact that I was in too much pain doing what went so against my values and my heart.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>I could no longer stand another hour wasting my limited time and energy in this world. <strong>Pain, then, not boredom,</strong> tipped the scales for me and I gave up everything to build my own company and have not looked back once.</p>
<p>My word of caution: Don&#8217;t wait quite that long! <strong>Build your</strong> <strong><a href="http://www.smartexitblueprint.com?ap_id=sparkles" target="_blank">smart exit blueprint </a></strong>today.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">So here&#8217;s my question to you, dear reader &#8211; how did YOU know it was time to quit your job and what made you finally do it? Any advice for those seeking a career change? Thanks for sharing!</span></h2>

<p>What is pinterest?</p>
<div>
<p> Simply put, it&#8217;s a virtual, all over the interwebs, <strong>ginormous pin board that is even more addictive than Facebook,</strong>as if such a thing was possible. As I found out 3.5 weeks ago, after ignoring my invite for 3 months.</p>
<div></div>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-11144" title="Screen shot 2012-01-28 at 10.08.37 AM" src="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screen-shot-2012-01-28-at-10.08.37-AM.png" alt="" width="536" height="270" /></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><em>&#8220;Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>That&#8217;s their spiel. But as I see it, there&#8217;s <strong>way, way, way more to it. </strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>When google analytics showed me that <strong>pinterest was now the # 1 referrer of traffic to my Facebook page</strong> in just 2 weeks, ahead of even this website, I KNEW it was gold.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It has huge potential for small business owners, self employed people, big business, brands, solopreneurs, bloggers, coaches, pretty much &#8230; everyone. How? Let me count the ways.</p>
<h2><strong>Here are 50 ways small businesses and self employed professionals and creatives can market using pinterest:</strong></h2>

<p><span style="color: #fc356d;"><strong>&#8220;Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.&#8221;</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #fc356d;"><strong>– Mark Twain.</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p>When Jayson Krause&#8217;s best friend died of cancer in September 2005, he realised that he had never fully gotten to know him.</p>
<p>So he embarked on a year long project, asking <a href="http://www.calgaryherald.com/life/People+Questions+Mission/5949136/story.html" target="_blank">52 strangers the same 10 questions,</a> one a week, in an attempt to challenge myths about connection and get people sharing more than just small talk.</p>
<p><strong>Questions about life, accomplishments, fears, goals</strong> &#8211; all the things people never ask. This is one man&#8217;s mission to change the way we connect with each other.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve responded to his questions below and feel it&#8217;s really important for everyone to do.</p>
<p><strong>Will you join us</strong>?</p>
<h2>Start by answering these 11 questions, then share this post with others so <strong>they</strong> can answer it too.</h2>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #f00e6d;">Don&#8217;t let <strong>ONE MORE DAY</strong> go by in mindless conversations, when you could be getting REAL about the stuff that really matters and getting to know <strong>yourself</strong> and the people in your life.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Before it&#8217;s too late.</p>
<h2><strong>1. What is your dream job?</strong></h2>
<p>Being paid to be me! A sparkly secret agent of transformation and JOY, inspiring people to love themselves, do what they love, and live life their way.</p>
<p>Creating, facilitating, and hanging out in a delicious online community, connecting with like minded people, learning, growing, dreaming big dreams, supporting each other and living extraordinary lives of passion, purpose and play.</p>
<p>Yep, pretty much what I am already doing.</p>
<p>As a child, I wanted to be a published author *just like Enid Blyton*, and a mum. I still hope to do both and love that I have a 3rd dream that I am already living.</p>
<div id="page1">
<h2><strong>2. What fulfils you?</strong></h2>
<p>Connection. Meaningful conversations, silliness, off-key singing, bear hugs, dance parties for one (or two) in the kitchen, belly aches from laughing too much, road trips, drumming circles, cradling a sleeping baby, love, intimacy, unbridled joy.</p>
<h2><strong>3. What&#8217;s your greatest fear?</strong></h2>
<p>That I&#8217;ll somehow sabotage myself from ever *living up to my potential* and reach the end of my days wishing I had taken more risks, been less restricted and done a lot more stuff that had me saying OH WELL, instead of WHAT IF.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/oh-well.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11044" title="oh well" src="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/oh-well.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<h2><strong>4. What do you want more of in life?</strong></h2>
<p>Experiences, aliveness, contentment.</p>
<p>More intimate moments with friends and family, creating memories, living in the now, spontaneous road trips, seeing new countries, experiencing more cultures, going to festivals, drumming parties, potlucks, anything that has to do with community, fun, sharing, and laughing.</p>
<p>Oh, and being a wife and mom <img src='http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h2><strong>5. What is your greatest accomplishment?</strong></h2>
<p>Being alive. Reinventing myself over the last 10 years. Every year, I like myself more, become more ME and trust in the divine order of life, as well as my own power to create the life I want.</p>
<h2><strong>6. What are you most ashamed of?</strong></h2>
<p>Nothing &#8211; I spent too much of my life in shame. Now, I&#8217;m practicing being vulnerable and open as much as I can. I do stupid things, I make mistakes, I kick myself in the shins, then I grab myself up in a big hug, cry me a river, dry my tears, and carry on.</p>
</div>
<div id="page2">
<h2><strong> 7. What makes you sad?</strong></h2>
<p>Children being abused or abandoned, made to feel like they aren&#8217;t enough or that they don&#8217;t matter. Just writing this sentence brings tears to my eyes. It saddens, frustrates, breaks, and yet, gives me strength to do what I can for those I can.</p>
<h2><strong>8. What&#8217;s the hardest thing you&#8217;ve experienced?</strong></h2>
<p>Emotionally, heartbreaks and bouts of despair brought on by thinking I didn&#8217;t matter, my life didn&#8217;t matter, and nothing I ever did would matter. Climbing out of those thoughts and looking towards the sunshine is the hardest thing I&#8217;ve ever done &#8211; over and over again.</p>
<p>Physically, bootcamp! And climbing 17,353 ft at a mountaineering course.</p>
<p>Spiritually, seeing things go left after keeping the faith and still keeping on trusting in a bigger picture &#8211; over and over again. And I suspect, till the end of time.</p>
<p>As Martin Luther King, Jr, said:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/314966_294898537205434_149296375098985_1101218_1339734989_n.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-11064" title="314966_294898537205434_149296375098985_1101218_1339734989_n" src="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/314966_294898537205434_149296375098985_1101218_1339734989_n.jpeg" alt="" width="315" height="248" /></a></p>
<h2><strong>9. What is great about you?</strong></h2>
<p>Where should I begin <img src='http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> !? I rock at seeing the best in life, making the most of every situation, and am a force to reckon with when in my element.</p>
<p>At my best, I am inspired, alive, energised, enthused, excited, inspiring, visionary, and can make myself AND you feel like we can do ANYTHING! I&#8217;m also great at making people feel adored, loved, and like they belong.</p>
<p>Persistence, adaptability, loyalty, fairness, sparkletude, and resilience are my biggest strengths. I don&#8217;t make decisions or commitments easily, but when I do, it is done.</p>
<p>And I am spontaneous, happy, and GOBS of fun! Road trip, anyone?</p>
<h2><strong>10. Who are you?</strong></h2>
<p>A bundle of contradictions.</p>
<p>An optimist, a pessimist, a dreamer, a realist, Pollyanna, a cynic, a believer, a pooh-pooher, supremely confident, self doubting, a healer, a lover, an encourager, a catalyst for self love and transformation.</p>
<p>Real. Flawed. Perfect. Imperfect.</p>
<p>Utterly human. Doing the best I can. Falling, flailing, jumping, thriving.</p>
<p>A girl who won&#8217;t stop loving and believin&#8217; in her journey and knows that life always works out grand.</p>
<p>My real work here is to<strong> be true to myself, stay present, love wildly, live boldly, and be a good, kind person</strong> who shows people a mirror that reflects their AWESOMENESS &amp; leaves them feeling amazing about themselves.</p>
<p>Reckon I can swing that..</p>
<h2><strong>What inspires you?</strong></h2>
<p>People who are ALIVE in every sense of the world!</p>
<p>Unconventional thinkers and doers, those who have woken up and are pushing past resistance to live extraordinary lives of adventure, meaning, purpose, passion, fun, joy!</p>
<p>Love, vulnerability, connection, inclusion. Oneness.</p>
<p>Music, dance, talent, persistence, dedication, selflessness, confidence.</p>
<p>Nature, sunrises, mountain tops, knowing that we are all stardust and we will all be stardust one day.</p>
<p><em>Thanks for asking these powerful questions, Jayson. </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><div align="right" style="float: none; padding: 0px 0px 5px 5px;"><a name="fb_share" type="button_count" share_url="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/2012/01/03/2011-the-one-thing-that-changed-everything/"></a></div><p>Whew!</p>
<p>What a year.</p>
<p>Back in <strong><a href="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/2010/12/30/year-in-review-defining-moments-reverb10/" target="_blank">December 2010, I did a year in review</a></strong> as part of #reverb10, an initiative to reflect on your year and contemplate what&#8217;s next.</p>
<p>It was the first I&#8217;d ever done and writing stuff down really helped me see just how amazing a year I&#8217;d had, when I thought I hadn&#8217;t done anything much.</p>
<p><strong>So dude, this is good stuff.</strong></p>
<p>If only to look, learn, celebrate, recommit and move on with renewed focus, clarity and direction.</p>
<p>Last year I broke it down in 3 parts &#8211; business, personal and community. This year, I&#8217;ve gone a little more in-depth with it and have brought some stats into the mix as well as answered some insightful questions posed by a fellow blogger.</p>
<p>The story unfolds &#8230;</p>
<p><strong>At the start of 2011, my main goals were:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Launch an online forum for<strong><a href="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/2011/04/21/a-scanners-resume-how-to-tell-if-youre-one/" target="_blank"> multi-passionate sparklers aka scanners</a></strong></li>
<li>Do a weekly entrepreneur interview for my <a href="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/category/entrepreneurinterviews/" target="_blank">Entrepreneur Series</a> (carried on from 2010)</li>
<li>Be clear about my message and niche so my ideal clients know exactly how I can help them</li>
<li>Create a course &amp; worksheets around my <strong><a href="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/contact-me/sign-up-for-the-your-life-your-way-ezine/" target="_blank">Procrastination ebook (currently given away for free)</a></strong></li>
<li>Grow my online presence, email list,<strong> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/YourLifeYOURWay" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>,</strong> increase website traffic &amp; conversion</li>
<li>Move to Argentina for 3-4 months, hang out with <a href="http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/" target="_blank">Nat</a>, then come back to Canada for the Summer</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/contact-me/sign-up-for-the-your-life-your-way-ezine/" target="_blank">Revamp newsletter,</a></strong> be more consistent with emailing my awesome subscribers</li>
<li>Create online courses on business growth, personal growth, and social media</li>
<li>Have fun, be unconventional, build my business MY way no matter what the &#8216;experts&#8217; say</li>
<li>Do a Landmark course after being curious about it for 10 years</li>
</ol>
<p><strong> So how did I do?</strong></p>
<p>It started off great! I gave up my apartment, sold all my furniture, packed my life in 8 boxes, prepared for Argentina, did the Landmark course (didn&#8217;t get as much out of it as I thought), bought vbulletin forum software in Jan 2011, started a mastermind group, kept blogging and .. <a href="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/2011/01/18/when-life-hands-you-lemons-squirt-it-in-the-kisser/" target="_blank">life handed me a lemon,</a></p>
<p>Argentina didn&#8217;t happen, instead of summer warmth I ended up in -30 Calgary, had a crisis of &#8220;wtf am I doing with my life and business&#8221; and started questioning everything.</p>
<p>Remember #9?</p>
<blockquote><p>I decided to do it my way and my way was screaming to step back, review and be with what was coming up. For 6 months I went on a deep personal journey that transformed the next 6 months to come.</p>
<p>The only things I was consistent about <strong>were meeting my mastermind group every 2 weeks, and to continue blogging and connecting</strong> with people through social media.</p>
<p>I stopped everything else. Every.thing.</p></blockquote>
<p>No newsletters, no product creation, no Interviews, no courses, no coaching, and no forum.</p>
<p>Sh**! Was I crazy? Doomed?</p>
<p>This was the biggest test, the biggest leap of faith I took all year &#8211; to trust that my <strong>intuition was guiding me strongly through a process</strong> and that my job was to allow it.</p>
<blockquote><p>I set one single intention <strong>&#8220;To be taken care of financially and not have to worry a minute about my finances&#8221; in 2011.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>And&#8230; that&#8217;s exactly what happened. I had an idea of how this would work out and it unfolded how I&#8217;d imagined (family, friends, simple living, savings, unexpected sources of income). <strong>Goosebumps!</strong></p>
<p>In April, I wrote a blog post about <strong><a href="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/2011/04/21/a-scanners-resume-how-to-tell-if-youre-one/" target="_blank">Scanners that brought out a whole community</a></strong> of multi-passionate renaissance people who learned for the first time that there was <strong>nothing wrong with them, they weren&#8217;t alone and that being who they were was a BLESSING,</strong> not a curse as they&#8217;d always thought.</p>
<p>This post changed many peoples&#8217; perspectives and I got a ton of emails from multi-passionates who told me how their lives had changed by learning this one fact and they could now love and accept themselves for who they were instead of trying to fit in a box.</p>
<p>I knew that I HAD to create a space for us to learn, grow, connect and support each other!</p>
<blockquote><p>Fast forward to June end. I woke up one day feeling stronger, clearer and more inspired than ever. Things started shifting. Then in the 1st week of September, I did something that altered 2011 forever.</p></blockquote>
<p>What was that, you ask?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-10976" title="India" src="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/India.png" alt="" width="343" height="526" /></p>
<p><strong>I made a decision.</strong></p>
<p>A simple one, yet powerful in its impact.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>After a strong intuitive hit, I decided to get rid of ALL tolerations, be </strong><strong>consistent and claim my leadership and place in the inspiration &amp; personal development world.</strong></p></blockquote>
<h2><strong>Specifically, this looked like:</strong></h2>
<p>1) <strong>Getting rid of my Aweber</strong> mailing list account (which I&#8217;d had for over a year but rarely used because of how much I detested using it) and moving to Mailchimp. This went against all conventional marketers who insisted Aweber was for professionals and Mailchimp was for newbies. Remember # 9 again? My life, MY way.</p>
<p>2) <strong>Letting people go</strong> from my life who I was tolerating instead of enjoying</p>
<p>3) <strong>Simplifying and de-cluttering</strong> electronically, energetically and physically (huge energy release)</p>
<p>4)<strong> Doing the Entrepreneur Interviews only when inspired</strong> instead of sticking to the 52 week plan (lesson: be willing to change course, halt or quit a direction if it just doesn&#8217;t feel aligned any more &#8211; DON&#8217;T drag it on and on!)</p>
<p>5) <strong>Saying no unless it was a HELL YEAH</strong> (thanks Derek Sivers, for that one!)</p>
<p>Pretty simple, huh?</p>
<p><strong>That&#8217;s when all sorts of awesomesauce </strong><strong>started happening.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Starting mid Sept, I consistently sent out an email</strong> to my subscribers on a weekly basis</li>
<li>A young blogger I&#8217;d reached out to offering support, ended up helping <strong>me</strong> expand my reach (<a href="http://theuncommonlife.net/" target="_blank">Justin</a>, I am forever grateful to you for your largehearted generosity!)</li>
<li>I wrote a blog post that went viral, followed by a couple of other widely shared posts</li>
<li>I created a social media course, launched a super fun and successful self help style e-course, rejuvenated my forum idea, coached, and hired a designer to revamp the YLYW site</li>
</ul>
<p>Ok, ready for more specifics? <strong>Since September 15th, 2011,</strong> here&#8217;s a list of what I term successes.</p>
<h1><strong>Successes</strong></h1>
<ul>
<li>Launched a <strong>Social Media 4 week video course</strong>, which sold out to 25 participants</li>
<li>Launched <a href="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/21-days-of-inner-sparkle/" target="_blank">Inner Sparkle e-course,</a> which sold out to 60 participants</li>
<li>Launched <a href="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/21-days-of-inner-sparkle/" target="_blank">Inner Sparkle II</a> (starts Jan 9th, if you want in!)</li>
<li>Previous clients reported sweet successes, some came back for more coaching after 2 years to move on to the next level</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Followed an intuitive hit one night and spent 10 hours creating a post JUST for the joy of it. This was the one that  <a href="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/2011/09/06/75-best-kickass-inspirational-quotes-on-life-love-happiness-change-growth/" target="_blank"><strong>went viral and brought 100,000+ unique visitors</strong></a> in Sept-Oct 2011</li>
<li>Many other posts were shared <strong>thousands</strong> of times on Facebook and Stumbleupon</li>
<li>Thanks to <strong><a href="http://www.blogengage.com/blogger/8-ways-to-get-your-blog-ready-for-the-big-time/" target="_blank">Kristi&#8217;s amazing post,</a></strong> I&#8217;d already made sure my blog was set up with calls-to-action, email opt-in-box etc to make the most of unexpected events &#8211; and it paid off in September!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Facebook page grew from<strong> 1853 to 8000+ members</strong> in 3.5 months (currently 8238)</li>
<li><strong>Email list grew</strong> from 500 to 1800+ in 3.5 months, and growing every day (Love you guys!)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Decided <strong>not to buy any info products or books</strong> all year &#8211; and did pretty well, buying just 2 products</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://ralphwaldoemerson.me/tia-singh" target="_blank">Contributed a prompt</a></strong> to the Ralph Waldo Emerson challenge</li>
<li>Made my first ever <strong>commission</strong> from a product sale (followed by a few more, whee!)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Restarted work on the forum, put a date on it (March 15th) + started site redesign work t</strong>o better reflect the resource site this is</li>
<li><strong>Created a coaches group of over 750 coaches</strong> on Facebook to support and share with each other &#8211; one of my dreams come true!</li>
<li><strong>Went down snowbanks in a little plastic saucer,</strong> lived to tell the tale and then did it heaps more times! There ARE benefits to being in -30 temps after all <img src='http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Met <strong>tons of social media friends in person</strong> and forged new friendships</li>
<li>Went<strong> from 5000 visitors a month to over 30,000 a month</strong> (on average, for the last 4 months)</li>
<li>In Dec 2010, hostgator shut down my blog for 2 days because of &#8220;heavy traffic&#8221; and it kinda was &#8211; tens of thousands of spam accounts created by bots in the forum! Less than a year later, hostgator suspended my site again. And this time, it was because of the insane amount of visitors &amp; hits on the viral post. Ironic, much? <img src='http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p><strong>200,000+ visitors in 2011 -</strong> this was beyond my wildest dreams and just goes to show that anything is possible at anytime if you <strong>TAKE INSPIRED ACTION, keep showing up and doing what you&#8217;re passionate about. Don&#8217;t expect it, but be prepared for it.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-10964" title="Screen shot 2012-01-03 at 6.19.58 AM" src="http://www.yourlifeyourway.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screen-shot-2012-01-03-at-6.19.58-AM.png" alt="" width="707" height="199" /></p>
<h1>&#8220;Failures&#8221; &#8211; in quotes cos nothing&#8217;s a failure if everything&#8217;s an experiment!</h1>
<ul>
<li><strong>&#8220;Dropping the ball&#8221; on blogging after the huge traffic influx</strong> &#8211; this was a prime opportunity for me to really showcase and convert visitors into readers and subscribers. Although some of this happened organically, I posted just once in November and twice in December! I was busy travelling both months, creating courses and focusing on the Facebook page so blogging suffered.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Not starting on Sparkle Club sooner -</strong> I bought vbulletin forum software in Jan 2011, got the ball rolling and then .. ignored it for 6 months. Picked it up again, talked to someone about setting it up and .. dropped it again. I spent ALL year talking about it but didn&#8217;t start because I had no idea how to structure it. That&#8217;s 12 months of experimenting, playing, tweaking that could have taught me tons and put me way ahead on the map.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>No regrets though.</strong> Everything is a learning experience and both these showed me the value of a plan, systems, support network and timing.</li>
</ul>
<h1>Learnings</h1>
<ul>
<li><strong>Show up -</strong> even when I decided to take a 6 month break from my business from Jan &#8211; June 2012, I was still posting on my facebook page, twitter, connecting with people &amp; meeting my mastermind group every 2 weeks. That made a huge difference because I stayed connected and plugged in.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Gratitude and setting intentions are POWERFUL.</strong> When I decided to be more consistent with my list in September, I realised WHY I hadn&#8217;t been and made a simple change, which changed everything. Opportunities I could not even have imagined, fell into my lap.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Having a support network</strong> is one of THE most important factors in success. Without my mastermind group, I might have given up midway through my personal growth process but with them, I was supported personally and professionally and even more than that, INSPIRED by their words and actions in their own businesses.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Although the big stuff happened in just the last 3 months of the year, it was the<strong> CONSISTENT small actions that I have been taking for TWO+ years</strong> that brought the right circumstances, people and results together. It&#8217;s NEVER an overnight miracle, and it always pays off to stay the course.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Quit if you have to but never ever ever give up. </strong>Persistence is one of my biggest assets, as is believing in my purpose / mission / vision. I choose to do what I do even when I want to throw in the towel sometimes, because my WHY is important enough for me to stick it out.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>I refined my WHY, why I do what I do</strong> here &#8211; to inspire people to love themselves, do what they love and live an extraordinary life, THEIR way. Because we all deserve the life we <strong>want</strong>, not the one we or others think we <em>should have or want</em>. Personally, I do what I do because I want to live and work on my own terms.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I freakin&#8217; ROCK at life,<strong> finding the joy in small things</strong> and living with intention.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Intuition is my (and your) friend. Trust, trust, trust it.</strong></li>
</ul>

<ol>

<li>Take more risks &#8211; create, create, create, experiment, experiment, experiment, ship, ship, ship.</li>
<li>To be successful, I have to know, believe and trust that I already am &#8211; and I AM</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>3 things I’d do differently</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>I’d have created the forum in Feb 2011 (better late than never)</li>
<li>I’d have created a product for sale much sooner (it&#8217;s on like Kong in 2012)</li>

<p><strong>3 Goals I </strong><strong>will</strong><strong> achieve this year</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Create Sparkle Club and have 200 awesomepossum paying members by Dec 2012</li>
<li>A strong brand &amp; business model that brings in a consistent monthly income</li>

</ol>
</div>
<p><strong>3 reasons I want to achieve these goals are</strong></p>

<li>Cos I damn well deserve financial and professional success, I’m an achiever</li>

</ol>
<p><strong>Smartest decision I mad</strong><strong>e last year<br />
</strong>To bring together 6-7 women I adored and admired into a &#8220;Secret Society of Awesomeness&#8221; on facebook, without knowing why in the beginning, just following an impulse and then watch it turn into a mastermind with calls every 2 weeks, as well as daily support in the group. Best.Decision.Ever.</p>
<p>What I learned from this &#8211; follow your intuition, let people into your vision and co-create something even more magnificent that serves you all!</p>
<p><strong>Biggest risk I took last year<br />
</strong>Deciding not to get an apartment after giving mine up in Dec 2010 for the impending trip to Argentina, which never panned out, and moving every 3 months for the rest of the year.</p>
<p><strong>One sentence that sums up this past year<br />
</strong>I trusted the Universe to look after me as I took time out, followed my intuition and believed that everything was happening perfectly, leaving the door open to magical things happening &#8211; as they did!</p>
<h1>Intentions for 2012</h1>
<p>My 3 guiding lights are Expression over Expectation (I&#8217;ll explain more in a blog post), Generosity, and Openheartedness.</p>
<p>Instead of ONE word for the entire year, I&#8217;m doing it Quarterly and will let it come to me each quarter. For Q 1, I&#8217;ve chosen EXTREME JOY and FIERCELY UNSTOPPABLE! I also have a list of 7 specific goals for Q 1 but I&#8217;m keeping them to myself for now. The big, overall goals are as listed in the section above.</p>
<h1>My tips for a crackerjack 2012:</h1>
<ul>
<li>BE you</li>
<li>Make fun a priority</li>
<li>Have clear intentions</li>
<li>Hit a pitch a day, don&#8217;t worry about where it lands</li>
<li>Listen to what people say but trust your intuition more</li>
<li>Get support by way of a coach, mentor or peer mastermind group</li>
<li>Break big, giant goals into quarterly goals and check in every 3 months to add or take away</li>
<li>Be kind to yourself, ease up on the pressure, know you&#8217;re doing your best &amp; hold your vision</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>To sum it up, while I&#8217;m </strong><strong>gratefu</strong>l for the growth and movement this year, my REAL success has nothing to do with these numbers.</p>
<blockquote><p>What made me smile the most and feel like I&#8217;d done worthy work, was the emails, the comments, the messages and stories from people whose lives had been made brighter, who&#8217;d taken action, become more positive and happy, started blogs, found new jobs, increased their confidence and moved closer to living the lives THEY want, rather than following other peoples&#8217; dreams.</p>
<h2>I can&#8217;t share most of those here, so I&#8217;ll just thank the 200,000+ people who read my posts and visited my site in 2011. THANK YOU also to my email subscribers, Facebook fans, twitter peeps and everyone I know!!</h2>

<p><strong>Here&#8217;s to an awesometastical 2012 for you and me! </strong></p>
<p><strong>ps: In case you&#8217;re wondering what the &#8220;one thing&#8221; was that changed everything, no it&#8217;s not the traffic or the growth or courses &#8211; it was making the decision to TRUST my intuition and do what feels good/eliminate tolerations. Try it, it has the potential to change.your.life.</strong></p>
