What Is Spirit’s Will For You?

Article from Successful Self Employment News, subscribe

“I firmly believe that what you love and God’s will for you are one and the same.” — Janet Attwood, author, “The Passion Test”

As a 10-year-old, when “God” was still a bearded old man sitting on a cloud watching me, my big fear about God’s will for me was that it might require poverty, celibacy, and isolation — or all of the above.

These fears seem mostly amusing now, but they still live on in the collective unconscious that all minds share.

Because of these collective unconscious beliefs, many of us find it hard to fully accept that Spirit’s will for us is to create an expansive and happy life.

Fortunately, the “older, wiser, larger part of you,” as Abraham-Hicks calls our non-physical selves (or souls), knows that it’s spirit. Our souls are pure positive energy eternally at one with source energy.

Our souls came into physical form to experiment! In physical life we get to fine-tune our creation skills by using our soul power, minds and emotions. Our creating helps the universe expand.

Therefore…it’s time to drop the concepts that earth is a school, that suffering is noble, that we’re rewarded in the afterlife if we suffer enough, and that we need to prove our worthiness by fixing a world gone mad. Continue Reading »

Selling Secrets For Business Owners

Article from Successful Self Employment News, subscribe

Let’s just get to the point: here’s the list.

1) If you own a business, you are the CEO, and the CEO has to sell. This is true even in the Fortune 100 companies I’ve consulted with. When a huge deal is on the table, the CEO shows up to close it. 

2) You can learn to love selling. Yes, you! I never thought I could. Wrong. When you love your business and have the opportunity to speak to a prospect about how you can help them, you are offering a gift and a service. 

3) You will lose (way) more than you win. That’s true of even the best salespeople. A lost sale does not necessarily mean you did anything wrong. But taking a moment to review doesn’t hurt either. Then tell the universe  ”Next, please!” and move on.

4) The best customers sell themselves. It’s fascinating to me how often people contact me about coaching who already know they want to coach with me. (Of course, that’s also because I market — we’ll save that topic for another time.) The point is: you don’t have to “make” them do anything.

5) Selling helps you grow into a bigger, more outgoing, more helpful person. Many entrepreneurs, myself included, grew up shy and uncomfortable with attention. The process of learning about sales and getting out there and doing it teaches us, through experience, that we can open up, think on our feet, and express the personal leadership in our hearts. To have what we want, we have to expand into it.

6) Write scripts and practice. If you don’t know exactly what to say during a sales situation, the customer may perceive you as hesitant or lacking in confidence. Write out what you will say word for word.  Then practice. Here’s a tip a professional sales trainer gave me: speak your scripts out loud in front of a mirror. It works! You build confidence before your own eyes.

7) Have enough potential sales in the pipeline that you’re not desperate for any one of them to happen. Prospects can sense desperation and they run from it. The best way to feel calmly confident is to generate an abundance of opportunity. Like fishing in a well-stocked lake, you will bring home a catch.

Till next time, here’s to your successful self employment!

Amp Up Your Client Attraction Power

Even though we all know that the Law of Attraction responds to what we want, sometimes we’d like to provide it with clearer instructions. (LoA doesn’t need instructions, but it can help us feel more on track when we get clarity.)

If you’ve been asking to attract more clients or a different kind of client, you can move those desires closer to manifestation using these two quick and simple Law of Attraction Exercises: The To Feel List, and Heart Light Matrix.

Find out how to do them in my new Law of Attraction article on how to Amp Up Your Client Attraction Power.

To your happiness and success (and to joy on the journey — I’m sure experiencing that on the road this week),

Law of Attraction and Swine Flu

Do you predict a swine flu pandemic? I predict hundreds of Law of Attraction blog posts saying: “Don’t think about the flu and you won’t get it.” A nice theory, but as Bob Proctor pointed out in his Science of Getting Rich class last week, endless programming by the mass media makes it  nearly impossible to ignore the recession — or swine flu. My advice? These 7 steps…
