The Key to Smoothing Out Your Business Cycle

As small business owners, sometimes it can feel like we're at the mercy of the markets. We have ups and we have downs. But not every business is up at the same time and not every business is down so what actually makes the difference?

Wouldn't it be great to have a business where the downs were minimized and the ups were even higher? And, wouldn't it be even better if the overall trend was up, up, up?

Well, there is a way, and it's one that most entrepreneurs really, really don't like...

The Perils of Being Super-Busy

I believe that there is something truly shifting with the energy this year. We are being called into our power in a deep, deep way. The Divine simply will not tolerate us playing small and hiding any more. Every place that we have been lying to ourselves about our magnificence is being exposed and called out. It can be mighty uncomfortable.

Coaching from a Spirit-Centred Place

But, right now, I'm heading into Day 6 of the NLP Coach Training and the joy and gratitude and courage and strength and passion of the women I am working with has left me speechless.

The 8-day training is designed to be an intensive. You get 4 Board Designations (coaching, NLP, hypnotherapy and Time Line Therapy®) and that is a gruelling schedule. It's equivalent to 2 years of college... in just over a week.

Invite Grace Into Your Morning

This is my favourite time of the day...

sitting quietly in the living room before everyone else wakes up - I am in 'my' spot and only the cats have noticed; I have soaking music playing quietly in the background - it's a new cd I bought yesterday and I love it... and I'm with you...

Are You Like a Cat with a Humidifier?

I was. Sometimes I still am. But at least now I'm aware of the habit and when I do it.

Here's how it all happened...

One day I was sitting and watching my little black cat, Luna, sitting and watching the humdifier.

(Catch that? I was sitting and watching her sitting and watching it. You can tell where this is going, right?)

Waiting...

Waiting for a bubble to pop up.

Everytime it bubbled she would pounce. And whap the humidifier. And generally show it who was boss.

Except that it's a humidifier and didn't care about Luna's authoritative whapping.

What the Heck is Inner Peace Anyway?

I know you want it... everyone does.

At least, pretty much everyone who comes to me for a Strategy Session says that they want it.

I think that this image below captures what we want. Peace. Quiet. Beauty. Tranquility.

She has it all. This is clearly Inner Peace.

Or is it? Is this really what peace looks like?

First, You Need Inner Peace

After my client has learned to connect with her unconscious mind and find out what is going on in there (it's usually a whole heckuvalot!!) then we learn how to connect to Source.

I've learned that it's only after we start practicing radical self-care and nourishing ourselves that we have any space at all to learn and use skills and tools to improve our marriage relationships.

When Your Unconscious Mind Gets Cranky… Watch Out!

If 2% of our mind is conscious and 98% is unconscious, you can imagine that when the UM gets cranky it can create a lot of havoc. See what happened to me a couple of weeks ago...

Are You Running On Fumes?

Are you drained? Struggling with adrenal fatigue?

Does it feel like an effort just to make it through the day, let alone having enough energy to live a life you love? It's time to take care of yourself with some radical self-care...
