The Art of Serendipity

Serendipity is such a wonderful word, isn’t it?

It makes me think of happy chance, and it’s related in my mind to synchronicity, another word I love.

I just found out that we can actually cultivate serendipity. This is exciting to me! Here’s a lovely story about the origin of the word:

In 1754, Horace Walpole wrote some thoughts on a Persian fairy tale that entranced him about 3 princes from the Isle of Serendip who had extraordinary powers of observation. Walpole suggested this tale contained an important idea about human genius: “As their highnesses travelled, they were always making discoveries, by accident and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of.” (NYTimes 1/3/16) He proposed the word “serendipity” to describe this talent.

So, serendipity is not something that happens to us by dumb luck. It’s something we DO. It’s about paying attention, casting a wider net, allowing plans to change based on a feeling, using an accidental encounter or happening to chart a new path or open new doors, or make new discoveries.

It means that having too narrow a focus or being too perfectionistic can actually prevent you from finding creative solutions to problems in your business and in your life.Continue Reading

I want to help you make more money.

I am taking a stand for you today and asking that you give yourself permission to open to

  • a deeper knowing of your value and the value of everything you have to offer that skyrockets your confidence
  • increased awareness and understanding of how to communicate your message so it GETS ACROSS
  • an improved ability to connect to your Higher Self and to Source
  • an expanded ability to receive anything and everything that you desire.

So you can

  • stop holding yourself back and start playing a bigger game
  • raise your fees
  • step up to the next level of success in your business
  • get on bigger stages (online and offline) and rock them
  • speak in your soul’s voice and step into your soul’s purpose

In order to increase your impact and fulfill your soul’s mission while making a great income.

I want you to take a stand that starting today, starting right now, you will not fail.

I believe that the Universe works miracles in many ways, and one of them is that we all have the opportunity to get more of what we want – especially when we bring our whole selves back into full, authentic self-expression.

So why do people struggle?Continue Reading

Tonality And Making Your Offer

by

I find that many coaches, speakers and entrepreneurs, when they deliver presentations from the stage, on webinars, or during 1:1 sales conversations, totally shift the tone of their voice when it comes to asking for the sale!

Here’s an excerpt from a free video training I created last summer in the lead up to my first Voice Your Value™: How To Charge What You’re Worth and Get It! group program.

In this free video, I share a highly effective technique at about the 2:21 mark that helps you dramatically shift how you’re using your voice in sales conversations and presentations.

Never, Ever, UNDERCHARGE Again!

by

IMG_2025Memorial Day has come and gone and summer is officially upon us and you know what that means… Travel! Packing your bags and heading off for some quality time to recharge and rejuvenate.

Let me ask you a question – when was the last time YOU took time off from your business to take a vacation?

Unfortunately, for many heart centered entrepreneurs, travel is viewed as a luxury and it gets put off because our schedules are jammed packed with marketing activities in an effort to get more clients.

Many entrepreneurs don’t realize how mentally, physically and financially worn down they are truly are AND most make the common mistake that taking on MORE clients is the only solution to fix the problem.

From personal experience I can tell you… It’s NOT!

Taking on more clients only means that you will have less free time for yourself. The answer is not more clients, it’s getting help to create a pricing strategy so you make more money with less clients!Continue Reading

How To Handle Sales Rejection With Grace

Have you ever gone into a sales conversation with a prospective client DREADING the whole thing? I have.

The fear of rejection is a powerful one, and it is what stops most women entrepreneurs from getting more clients.

Rejection can trigger deep, core emotions, and even make us feel our survival is in question. We learned to avoid situations that could cause us to feel threatened this way – to protect our tender, inner selves.

As entrepreneurs, however, we have to grow past these self-imposed limitations. I’ve written before about “Business As A Transformational Journey.” Getting past and transforming our fear of rejection in sales conversations is crucial to our success.

We need to let go of what one of my mentors calls “spiritual stubbornness,” too. For spirit-driven entrepreneurs, fear of rejection mingles with the story that money shouldn’t even be part of what we do, which can cause almost total paralysis, along with big time resentment and the pain of not succeeding in our deep purpose.

I can’t tell you how many times I hear these stories from my clients: “I shouldn’t charge for what I do because it’s my calling,” or “my gift” or “I should just be giving this away if I’m really spiritual.”

As we shift into embracing money as part of our spiritual path, along with using the strategies I’m going to give you today, we open up wonderful possibilities for ourselves – not just in our businesses, but in all our relationships, and in our spiritual dimension as well.

Growing in this specific area helps us let go of old patterns of self doubt and feeling unworthy that we definitely don’t need to carry around anymore!

Would you like to handle sales rejection with grace?

Great! I’ve got 3 strategies for you to step into your power in sales conversations when you feel threatened by rejection.Continue Reading

3 Secrets Of Highly Effective Coaching

Do you challenge your clients to step outside their comfort zone so they can grow?

Do you ask them to do things that you know are scary for them? Do you request that they get things done in a really short amount of time? Or straight-out tell them that a story they’re telling themselves is keeping them stuck?

Actions like these challenge your clients to step into their growing edge, move past their fear, and surprise themselves with what they can actually accomplish.

As coaches, these actions challenge US to stop being so nice, playing it safe, and worrying about what our clients think about us (common issues for women that hold us back in business).

If we’re not challenging our clients this way, we’re at risk of losing them. We’ll  have a hard time charging and getting higher fees. But most importantly, we’re actually failing our clients. They hire us to help them create transformation. Transformation doesn’t happen when we’re comfortable.

So, how do you challenge a client to be more and do more than they thought they could, without feeling like a bully?Continue Reading
