			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you remember why you became a life coach?  Do you still feel the calling?  More than ever, it&#8217;s important to believe in your dreams.  Slow down.  <strong>Calm your fears about the future and revive your vision</strong> for your coaching business, your life, and the world.</p>
<p>I know that you&#8217;ve heard a lot about Law of Attraction principles, but you might have forgotten to use them in the drive to get things done and get ahead.  <strong>All of those high payoff actions you complete will bring a powerful result <em>if </em>your mind is aligned with your vision.</strong>  Like the current in a river, prosperous thinking allows what you want to flow towards you.<br />
 <br />
The 4-step manifestation process I&#8217;m about to share with you really works.  I&#8217;ve experienced it for myself and seen its positive effect on others.  <strong>Make this a part of your daily practice.</strong> Then watch how you attract more financial prosperity and feel better.<br />
 <br />
<strong>The Manifestation Meditation</strong><br />
1. <strong>Center and Connect</strong>.  Protect yourself from distractions and interruptions.  Use your favorite process to center yourself and connect with source. Or, try the following:</p>
<p>- Sit comfortably with your feet on the floor.  Close your eyes and breathe naturally so that your in-breath and out-breath are a smooth circular flow.</p>
<p>- Imagine a source of light energy expanding in the center of your body.  Let some of the energy move down through your feet to the earth.  And then, feel some energy from the earth come back through your feet into your body.</p>
<p>- Now, let that energy move up and through the top of your head to your higher self.  Then, feel some energy come back into you through the top of your head to complete the circuit.  Keep the energy moving.</p>
<p><strong>Notice how that circular flow of energy makes you feel strong, safe, and alive.</strong></p>
<p>2. <strong>Go Into Gratitude.</strong>  Prime the pump for manifesting what you want.  <strong>Savor what you already have</strong>.  Feel gratitude for your friends &amp; family, the beauty all around you, your many opportunities, and even your current challenges.  Take some time in this step.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Access Co-creativity</strong>.  Acknowledge how creativity comes to you and how you are the co-creator of your reality.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Engage Your Vision</strong>. Your vision of what you want is the seed for your new reality.  Open your imagination.  <strong>Flesh out your vision with all of your senses.</strong>  Picture yourself living it now.  Feel yourself already there.</p>
<p>For example: <em>My writing is read by thousands in my niche market.  My credibility is strong and my message is attractive.  Ideal prospects are easily finding me and buying from me.  I sell 100 products each month.  My leads list has grown to five thousand.  My groups and teleseminars are always well attended and perceived as valuable.  I always have at least 10 ideal 1:1 clients.  Their success stories are compelling and they refer other ideal clients to me continuously, who hire me.  My tax return at the end of the year shows my net income as $100K+.  I feel blessed to earn my living this way.</em></p>
<p>As you speak or write out your vision, use present tense, mention only what you want.  Leave out or reframe to positive terms whatever you don&#8217;t want.  Be specific.</p>
<p>For example a statement like this: <em>I want to stop spinning my wheels and get some clients!</em>  Becomes this:<em> I have twelve full fee clients and more in the pipeline ready to hire me.  Every marketing action I take attracts my ideal clients to me.</em></p>
<p> <br />
4. <strong>Let Go of Outcome</strong>.  This last step is critical, and may take practice to master.  Once your vision is complete, surrender the details and let go of any attachment to the outcome.  <strong>Trust that the opportunities, resources, motivation, time and money you need to create whatever you have just envisioned is coming to you in the way that is for your highest good.<br />
</strong> <br />
If you&#8217;re feeling anxious, expectant, disappointed, or discouraged, you haven&#8217;t fully let go of the outcome.</p>
<p><strong>Living with Paradox</strong></p>
<p> <br />
Nothing is free of cost.  <strong>The cost of prosperity is faith and discipline</strong>.  If you want something so badly that it has to come to you in a certain way, you might be closing off the creative flow of prosperity.  Broaden your mind; keep meditating on your vision without grasping for it.</p>
<p><strong>Give Your Vision 40 Days of Faith</strong><br />
Do the manifestation meditation when you get up and when you go to bed for 40 days.  Pay attention to what is coming to you more easily than ever.  What comes to you may actually be better than what you imagined!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My computer consultant was at my office last week optimizing my Macbook for my next business trip. Opening up my email, he said: &#8220;OMG, your inbox is clean!&#8221; Then he looked around my office.  &#8221;Are you really this organized?&#8221;  I am.</p>
<p>Stuff is distracting.  If your office and inbox are overflowing and you don&#8217;t like it anymore, keep it clean with these five Jiu Jitsu moves:</p>
<p>1. <strong>Start with a clean slate every day</strong> (clean inbox, clean office, clean desk).  If you need help getting to ground zero, bring in an office organizer to help you catch up and put systems in place.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Set aside the last hour of your workday for planning.</strong>  Write down three high payoff actions you&#8217;ll complete tomorrow and pull out any documents you&#8217;ll need.  Then clear off your desk.  Don&#8217;t just stuff it in drawers, put it away so you can put your hands on exactly what you want when you want it.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Set only 3 phone appointments each day</strong>.  Leave the rest of your day for emails, return calls and working on your biz.  If possible, do the high payoff actions first thing in the day.  That way you&#8217;ll feel good about what you accomplished every day.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Download your email once in the morning, once at noon, once before planning hour</strong>.  If you&#8217;re waiting for something urgent, look for that email more often but leave the rest for later.  When you do focus on email, aim to reply to or delete everything.  Be ruthless.  Good intentions only last for so long.  If you have to keep an email for later, put it in a Pending folder in your email program and set a time to go back and clear the pending emails each week.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Have one day each week set aside for outside-the-office appointments</strong>.  Tuesdays are my day for the doctor, dentist, massage, etc.  Cluster appointments whenever possible.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re ready to go, chop, chop.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before I became a top coach, I wasted a lot of time.  I was always busy, but most of what I did brought me little results.  It came down to perfectionism and fear of putting myself out there in a big way.</p>
<p>One day I had a Feng Shui consultant come in to work on my home and office.  I hadn&#8217;t said a word about it, but she said to me: &#8220;What&#8217;s the deal with your business? It&#8217;s time to own your power, charge higher fees and stop wasting time!&#8221;  That woke me up!</p>
<p>So I stopped wasting time.  I became the CEO of my business.  Now there are three options for my time:<br />
1) Development = growing my business.<br />
2) Delivery = coaching, training or serving my members.<br />
3) Discretionary time = whatever I want to do, including taking the day off!</p>
<p>I did raise my fees but I also learned to value my time highly.  And ultimately, that&#8217;s what made me a top coach.</p>
<p>Are you busy or are you the CEO of your business?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If your business has hit a growth plateau, it usually comes down to one of these things:<br />
1. <strong>You don&#8217;t have time to work ON your business.</strong>  You&#8217;re stuck on the money for time treadmill and no growth is possible.  Raise your fees, reduce the number of clients you work with and give that extra time to growing your biz.</p>
<p>2. <strong>You&#8217;re burnt out</strong>.  Take a two week vacation (three weeks is better)!  And come back ready to change things up.  My favorite getaway is the Big Island, Hawaii.  The ocean revives me.  What will bring you back to life?</p>
<p>3. <strong>It&#8217;s time to raise the bar.</strong>  Grab some inspiration or fill the holes in your knowledge with a mentor.  Or learn a new skill and put that into practice.  I&#8217;m learning how to do my own videos!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My mentor and friend, Melanie Benson Strick, often said: &#8220;How you do anything is how you do everything.&#8221; It made me cringe.  I do have a distinct M.O. My default mode is to jump into everything, head first and head strong.  Half the time it works beautifully because it gets me off the starting block and into action.  But the rest of the time my method is madness and it takes lots of energy to correct the mess.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s your M.O.?  Chances are it&#8217;s a great strength of yours, but, if you&#8217;re not operating fully aware, that strength overused may well become your greatness weakness.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s worth it to think about how you do everything.  Is it working for you now? Set an intention to try a different approach. Nothing radical.  Just change it up a bit.  For me, that means a bit more planning before I leap. What is it for you?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know where I heard this saying, but it&#8217;s made a big impression on me. In some specific culture, instead of saying &#8220;how are you?&#8221; when they meet, they say: &#8220;what&#8217;s learnin&#8217; ya?&#8221; What they really mean is what are you working on&#8230; what are your facing&#8230; how are you evolving? Great questions.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll tell you honestly what&#8217;s learnin&#8217; me right now. I&#8217;m creating my own videos (watch for video posts soon) and it&#8217;s kickin&#8217; my butt! First of all, I&#8217;m not glamorous like some famous internet marketers we know. ; &#8216; ) And, I&#8217;ve spend the last eleven years delivering coaching, training and masterminds by phone. I&#8217;m an introvert!</p>
<p>But, you know what, nothing ventured is nothing gained, so I&#8217;m cutting loose from my standard ways. I&#8217;m coming out in front of the camera (and out of my sweats!) to you.</p>
<p>So, what&#8217;s learnin&#8217; you?</p>

Don&#8217;t give up, help your prospects move beyond their objections. Practice closing. As boring or scary as it seems, it&#8217;s the key to a prosperous coaching business.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If your prospects say they can&#8217;t afford coaching, it only means you haven&#8217;t hit the spot with your offer yet. Don&#8217;t give up, help your prospects move beyond their objections. Practice closing. As boring or scary as it seems, it&#8217;s the key to a prosperous coaching business.</p>
<p>Now, what about you&#8230; Have you been saying that you can&#8217;t afford something that would be really good for you? If you&#8217;ve said &#8216;no&#8217; to hiring a personal trainer, virtual assistant, or to enrolling in that business development program, stop it! We usually tell ourselves we can&#8217;t afford those things because we&#8217;re afraid to play a bigger game.</p>
<p>A dear friend once said to me: &#8220;Rhonda, if you believe you can afford it then you will!&#8221; She was right. Each time I&#8217;ve afforded something good for me, the investment I made in me rewards many times over. I have never looked back in regret at spending money that makes a difference in the quality of my life or career. You won&#8217;t either. And if you walk the talk, your prospects will follow!</p>
