The Intuitive Genius of Your Being
[Self-Improvement:Empowerment] You already know everything you need to know, whenever you need to know it. The challenge is that you either don't have conscious access to it, you don't know how to interpret the messages, or you don't know how to apply what you know.

Can You Say "This is It" For Yourself?
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] I am profoundly inspired... in a life-changing kinda way. I saw the new Michael Jackson movie, This Is It, yesterday. It blew my white rhinestone socks off! (Truth be told, I had tear dewbies at several points in the movie - it is that powerful!)

The Magic of Having What You Want is in Your Choices
[Self-Improvement] You are the magician of your life. Maybe you didn't know that, but it's true. The magician consciously makes choices that seemingly create something new or unimagined, but it's the very result they intended to create for the benefit of their audience. The same is true for you. Your magic is created in your choices.

The Art of Perception
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] The news and media and people's conversations show that many are feeling lost right now... they feel at the mercy of the economy, their lifestyle isn't what they want, they're staying in jobs they don't like, their relationships are suffering because they're unhappy, things aren't working the way they used to and they find themselves repeating the same patterns of unhappiness and don't know why it doesn't ever seem to change. There is one concept that tells why they are having these experiences: perception.

Living on Purpose For Your Wealthiest Life
[Finance:Personal-Finance] To live your wealthiest life, it's important to live purposefully. It's like this... you have been given a fabulous penthouse apartment in Paris, but you need to get there. So what would you do? You would likely figure out where you are now, map out your journey, determine your transportation to Paris, stick with the plan in following through and handle whatever comes up while on the journey until you got there. That is a purposeful journey with a clear destination in mind.

Exploring the Resistance to Receiving
[Self-Improvement:Personal-Growth] It's hard to receive a hug with your arms folded across your chest. Accordingly, it's hard for Source to bring you opportunities, resources, relationships, health, wealth and anything else you want if you are in resistance to receiving the experiences that are part of the life wealth cycle.

Are You Lost in Life?
[Self-Improvement:Personal-Growth] It's the feeling that makes your stomach sink... things aren't working right, you're tired of living the same stories with different faces, of not making headway on what to do next, of not being inspired by what you're doing with your life. You don't even believe there's a way to really be happy anymore. It can feel overwhelming. And like you are lost in your own life.

Is Anger the Terrorist Blocking Your Life Wealth?
[Self-Improvement:Anger-Management] Anger is an emotion that is considered in appropriate for children to express and, over time, children learn to suppress it. They learn to focus on being nice to the point where people wouldn't suspect that they had any anger at all. If this is you, you've likely even forgotten your anger, much less how to express it.

The Secret to Increasing Business Results
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] There are many paths to being an entrepreneurial business owner, and many of them may feel 'accidental.' Somehow customers find you for something you didn't think of as valuable, or you fall into having a business through inheritance or just doing what's fun as a college kid that just kept going.

Five Steps to Making "It" Happen
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] When you hit the turning point of wanting "it" in your soul-driven business (or life!), you're on the verge of big magic. Getting to the turning point is a big enough deal in and of itself, because you've had to get full enough of what you don't want any more to know that it's time to claim something different.

My Turning Point
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] Everyone has a turning point. And mine came as a result of virtually everything associated with a job that I had in 1997. Now it almost seems like a dream... but then, I was searching for something to fill me up. This is my story and what helped me find my turning point.

7 Steps to Living Bigger
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] Children should be seen and not heard." "Who do you think you are?" "You're bigger than your britches." We are often unknowingly conditioned to think we are meant to live small. For many of us, the growing up process is predicated on all the influences around us - our families, friends, peers.

3 Warning Signs That Procrastination is Stealing Your Life Away
[Self-Improvement:Time-Management] If we break that definition down, we see that there is personal and deliberate knowingness in our delaying the doing of something that should get done and that delaying can become a pattern, or habit, over time. For purposes of this forum, the "should" get done is presumed to be something you want, could, need or should get done, and is not the "should" of false obligation (as in, don't should on yourself!).

The Surefire Way to Grow Your Personal Economy
[Self-Improvement:Personal-Growth] When you do well, you help the national and global economy to do well. Your results are one of the millions of little bits that make up the bigger economies, which are only a reflection of the collective experiences of 'the people'. So when you grow your personal economy, everyone wins.

Use Rituals to Create What You Want
[Self-Improvement:Techniques] Throughout history, rituals have played an important role in society to usher in new beginnings, communicate intention and celebrate achievement. The notion of communicating directly with the unseen, intangible world of the universe while living on the physical plane is a new one for most people.

Mining Your Soul For Gold
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Everything that you are seeking right now is already within you. That's a big statement but it's based on my belief that we are here as a physical representation of Divine energy. That is, the Universe lives through each of us, and that (naturally enough) includes living through you.

Is Smudgy Energy Sabotaging Your Life Wealth?
[Self-Improvement:Techniques] If you are finding yourself feeling stuck, not making progress toward what you want, or discovering that you are off-track but don't know why, the answer is in your energy. What's happening is that you are spending your time in spin because your energy field has built up extra 'gunk' in it.

The Feng Shui of Your Money
[Finance:Personal-Finance] Feng Shui, literally meaning wind and water (the only two elements you can't live without!), is the art of positive interaction between people and their environments for optimal life success. The name for this action is "chi" flow; literally, it is our cosmic breath.

Shame As the Secret Saboteur of Success
[Self-Improvement:Success] Shame is the painful belief that a person is defective by their very existence, and is the secret weapon of sabotage against personal success. Essentially, shamed is a response that results from our parents and teachers helping us learn how to be a part of society, which we very early on tend to absorb into our energy bodies at a core level.

Unlock Your Potential by Using Energy
[Self-Improvement:Empowerment] Your potential is all that is possible for you, and, unfortunately, many people don't know how to tap into it effectively to live their most amazing life. We are generally trained to use our intellect, reasoning and linear mind rather than tapping into, following and optimizing the power of our energetic body.

Going For the Big Finish
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] A quick story... on a green and blue planet called Earth, there once was a human who really, really, really wanted to get something amazing in life. There was lots of excitement in the dreaming, and then in the planning and preparing, and then the launch of the whole thing... it was incredibly exhilarating! And then, as time went on, it became evident that it was going to take more than what was originally known, there were more challenges than accounted for in the beginning, and time seemingly slowed down in the middle of going for the big goal.

Evolve Yourself to Extraordinary
[Self-Improvement:Personal-Growth] This is it - no dress rehearsal, no do-overs and no turning back time. THIS is your life! And it can be absolutely magical and extraordinary by understanding and embodying just three key commitments. Make no mistake - it's not for the faint of heart! Read that line again... "understanding and embodying three key commitments".

Opening Up to the Big Change Within
[Self-Improvement:Success] If you stop and think about it, life moves in cycles. There are seasons to pretty much everything. Sometimes they are predictable in their shifts, like the seasons or waves coming to shore or the migration of geese but usually the biggest shifts happen when we least expect it, even - or maybe especially - when we know they are going to happen.

Having a High "Havingness Quotient"
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] If you're like most humans, it's likely that you'll sabotage yourself in "having it all." We here in the Western world are actually socialized to be in continuous striving; that is, we don't know how to have and enjoy everything we've worked for and received because if we have it, our culture says we're not working hard enough, or infers that we don't know what to do if we don't have tangible goals.

How to Know What You Know
[Self-Improvement:Personal-Growth] Soul-driven types are compelled by a different 'hum' in their lives... they know there's something more, they want to make a difference, there is power in their gift that they are driven to share. But sometimes they don't have a grip on what it is exactly that they know!

The Fruits of Fulfillment Aren't Grown Outside People
[Self-Improvement:Personal-Growth] People spend a lot of time seeking their life treasure by changing jobs, getting into new relationships, going on vacations, and other activities focused "out there." There's an expectation that once they finally find "it" - their next big 'click', more money, better toys - that they will finally feel fulfilled.

Using Ancient Energies to Live Your Purpose Today
[Self-Improvement:Personal-Growth] We humans are encoded to search out our reason for being and then express it. When we are not living on purpose, we know it - we're unhappy, feel isolated, things don't flow in our lives and our bodies reflect it. But when we ARE living in the rhythm of our unique purpose, we feel that too.

Go Within to Go Faster
[Self-Improvement:Motivation] When it seems the pace of life speeds up, we generally do what we can to accommodate it (mostly out of habit). And that is probably the worst thing that we can do for ourselves. We're unconscious to what our needs actually are in that moment, and we're expending extra energy to meet a need that is being imposed from an external source.

Understanding Your Life's Purpose
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] We are fortunate to live in a day and age where this is not only acceptable, but is possible for us to proactively ponder and then take action accordingly. "What is my life's purpose?"

Where Does Courage Live?
[Self-Improvement:Personal-Growth] Courage is something that people talk about but they don't necessarily know when they're doing it. And the reason for that is because in that moment, the one requiring courage, they aren't aware that they need to exhibit it; rather, they're busy being courageous.

Be Your Most Unstoppable Self
[Self-Improvement:Personal-Growth] When was the last time you really, really wanted ice cream at some crazy hour of the day - and actually went to go get it? Or maybe you had an urge to call someone right NOW - so you did it right that second? Or someone stood in the way of you doing something you really wanted to do, so you figured out how to do it anyway? In case you haven't seen the pattern yet, these are all examples of you being unstoppable because the thing you wanted was greater than the thing that could have stopped you.

Are You Ready For Your Money Shift?
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Is your money - or the lack of it - running your life and making your decisions for you? By many standards, money is the measurement of life success, and people spend a lot of time chasing it and attaching a lot of meaning to it but money is just money. To shift your energetic relationship with money, it's vital that you generate the energy which matches your wealth desires.

Secrets to Creating Positive Change
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] As a soul-driven entrepreneur, it's likely that you want to make the world a better place. And you also likely know that it all starts with you... as you evolve, your business evolves, you make a bigger, "cleaner" contribution and the world benefits. You, like the rest of us, have big dreams... and it's through your personal transformation that you have the power to make the world a better place.

The Art of Reinvention As a Lifestyle For Soul-Driven Entrepreneurs
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] We soul-driven entrepreneurial types are an interesting lot... we are compelled to do something that we believe is about who we are as a business, allowing passion and enthusiasm to guide our lives and businesses, following an inner need to pursue truth and express it honestly as we know it, creating our own unique path by being our authentic selves, and all with the desire to make the world a better place for being in it.

Face it - Tips on Having an Awesome Headshot
[Arts-and-Entertainment:Photography] We humans think in pictures. And your profile photo, or headshot, captures your essence so anyone who sees it can see your story in a moment. A good headshot will illuminate your inner light, show your personality and give a peek into your life. In a professional context, this is vital to activate sharing your innate message with the world (who you are) as well as create a connection point with your potential and current clients.

Your Energy is Always Evolving You
[Self-Improvement] By definition, energy needs to flow in order to be in its natural dynamic state. I'm not a scientist, but I know that its' movement is what generates some level of power, even at the smallest increment of its presence. The movement of energy is what makes things go. And it is the force within your own life that makes things happen, which cumulatively becomes your evolution.

September 1 Actualization Catalyst Assessment
[Self-Improvement:Success] Since we're now officially into the last 120 days 2008 (and they're going to go fast), I thought it might be helpful for you to have a way to give yourself a reality check on where you are vs. where you wanted to be at the end of this year. That way, you still have time to accomplish what you wanted for your soul-driven business this year. With realization, you can have actualization... :+)

Your Intuition is Asking - Can You Hear Me Now?
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] There are three things that a soul-based business owner needs to have to be successful in business (and in life, really): knowingness, trust and traction. And the first one is a whopper... so how do you know what you know?

The Top 5 Ways to Use Intuition in Business
[Self-Improvement:Techniques] Business intuition sounds like it might be an oxymoron - until you consider that business is about systematic problem resolution and intuition is an internal antenna, known as the quiet voice of inner wisdom, for truthful answers. It's potentially the most important - and harmonious - relationship necessary for success as an entrepreneur.

Unlocking Potential
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] Cosmic evolution is dancing through you right this minute... it's a pretty big deal. In case you've never thought of it, you are the physical expression of the universe, just like a single grain of sand creates a beach. Being the physical expression of the cosmic universe is an honor that only the heartiest souls can handle. And by just being who you are, you have a unique ability to make manifest something that, without you, would not exist much less contribute to the greater whole through the world around you.

Express Your Unique Independence
[Self-Improvement:Leadership] When you recognize that you are here for a unique purpose that ONLY you can fulfill, and really GET that, the small stuff won't be able to stop you anymore. You will recognize that you are "enough" just by being. It's not about other people, the resources that you think you don't have, the time that is never enough, the money that you don't have enough of to do what you want... you just do it anyway. Because you are "enough" to get it done AND because your spirit is pulling you through the eye of the needle to express your true inner nature - that's why each of us is here.

Your Evolution is Calling - It's Your "Quickening""
[Self-Improvement:Techniques] Have you noticed lately that it seems like we are being called to speed up our evolution? That is, it seems to me that we are being asked to move more quickly to get our lessons so that we can get on with an even more profound shift in consciousness, which will uplevel our ability to contribute our gifts more richly, more comprehensively and more joyously.

The Secrets of Your Purpose
[Self-Improvement:Success] Hands-down, the biggest question I get over and over from my clients is: how do I know my purpose? How do I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing? What am I supposed to do next? How do I KNOW that I'm living on purpose? (And then the question becomes: how can I make that into a business? But that's for another time...)

The Universe Dreams Through You
[Self-Improvement:Success] You are here for a unique, distinct reason - it is your calling, your purpose and it is something that ONLY you can do. No one else has the make-up of your gifts, talents, experiences, skills and world view - only you. No one else can make your contribution for you. Your greatness waits for you to claim it, because you are the only one with the secret combination to unlock and actualize your potential.

How Can Your Face Help You Grow Your Business Faster?
[Business] Your face contains the clues to your true nature. That is, who we are and what we've experienced and where we're going is reflected in our face - that's what makes us unique. Our personal emotional and energy patterns show up distinctively in our features and can help guide us to our next best level in business.

The Accelerated Path To Personal Development
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] When people ask me what I consider entrepreneurial business, one of the definitions I use most often is that it's the accelerated path to personal development (on steroids). It is impossible to have a business, much less a soul-driven business that is your purpose manifest in the world, and not grow as a person. Here are five of the milestones of personal development that you may recognize yourself in random order (and if you haven't had them yet, keep an eye out!).

Wild And Precious
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] The realization that today is right here, right now, that that particular person is the only person accountable for the state of their life, and that their spirit has chosen to express itself in this lifetime, in this body, in this circumstance and for specific lessons and a particular purpose...well, this realization becomes the tipping point moment of their life. They no longer waste time in lower vibration activities, distractions, trivialities... in other words, the small stuff. It just doesn't matter anymore.

Put On Your Virtual Lab Coat
[Self-Improvement:Motivation] Looking at your life thus far, it's likely that you can see where you experimented and where you didn't - and chances are, where you didn't was where you felt restricted, inhibited or constricted by something outside of yourself. If you have a feeling of not having a choice, it's hard to imagine doing anything other than what you feel compelled to do. And yet, that is EXACTLY when you must!

Slow Down To Speed Up
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] When we are thinking the same things in the same way as we always have, it stands to reason that we get the same results we always have. In order to create new results, we need fresh input from other sources or we need to challenge ourselves to think in new ways. And we need to take the time to do it; note by the way, the use of the word "take". Time moves on, and it's up to us to get what we want from each and every moment. A life time can get away from us unless we seize the moment to take a moment, as it were.

The Hunch Factor
[Self-Improvement:Motivation] When is the last time you got a "hunch" and you followed it? Even more important, what happened the last time you got a hunch and you DIDN'T follow it?

What You See Isn't What's There
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] What we see isn't what's there - it's only our perception that is telling us what's there. The surface view is the most flat visual to work from...it's when you go below the surface that you discover the real substance of the situation, relationship, or opportunity. And that's where the real power lives to create more of what you want - it's there that you will find more of the truth as opposed to what you can interpret from the surface view.

Pump Up the Change Volume
[Self-Improvement:Techniques] We tend to notice what's not right because we are programmed from our Neanderthal roots to filter out the familiar. And if the familiar means normal, then what is abnormal is what stands out - in this case, if things run smoothly, we get comfortable and lax about really going for what we want in (or out of!) life. If your life seems to be consistently scenario one, it's time to make a big change. Worse, if your life is routinely smooth and you're bored with it, it's time to pump up the change volume!

Finding Your Stillpoint
[Self-Improvement] What's a stillpoint you ask? A stillpoint is the place where movement ceases and everything becomes clear as a result. Think of a rollercoaster - the kind that loops around first one way, then backwards through the loop, getting ever higher in its circle until the cars are at the top of the circle, hanging upside down - just hanging. THAT is a stillpoint. The object in motion has come to rest, balancing on its' stillpoint.

Engage the Magic of You
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] The partnership between your inner being and your outer self is the one that powers your experiences. And the way to access it is through your intuition. Your magic is revealed to you through your intuition and is externally proven through what you manifest.

Three Secrets You Need to Know About the Monkey Mind
[Self-Improvement] Knowing that the monkey mind has a viable and valuable job helps to honor when it takes an active role in your life. However, there are three secrets that, when you know them, can completely change your understanding of how you are living your life.

Leaving the Known for the Unknown
[Self-Improvement:Attraction] Each of us has strengths that we don't even know because we haven't tested them. By putting ourselves in situations that require more of us than we think we have, we stretch our own knowledge, our capabilities and demonstrate that we can handle whatever we set up for ourselves.

Making Positive Choices from Infinite Possibilities
[Self-Improvement:Positive-Attitude] Our job is not necessarily to create opportunities but to decide which ones to pursue. And the hardest part about it is that there are no guarantees - there are only choices. So how do we know what choices are best for us? A positive choice just feels good. Some part of us knows that it is the right thing to do. It opens up our lives and creates new momentum for the best of us to shine and be recognized, even if only by our own inner fan club.

De-Mystifying Clarity
[Self-Improvement:Techniques] Clarity doesn't seem like it needs, well, clarifying at first glance. But it's not actually the concept that needs explanation, it's the "how to do it" part that trips us up. So, just to make sure we're clear here (pun intended), what is clarity?

Intuition is Connection
[Self-Improvement] Intuition is that quiet, powerful inner knowing of your truths. Connection is a relationship to a larger whole.

It's All About Now
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] In my measurement of what's behind me, I am filled with the spirit of this season in gratitude, joy and celebration.

Purpose and Path
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] One of the things I've come to remember - as my life is busy doing - is that just because I CAN doesn't mean that I SHOULD. In fact, it's an inversely proportionate relationship that states the following: as busy as I am is as overwhelmed as I feel.

What's Your Next Big Leap?
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] I look at leaping a lot. Every day, as I work with clients who want something more, something different, something new in their lives and businesses, I see the leaps that are just waiting for people.

About Face
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] One of my greatest challenges is to help people understand the power of what I do, because the results are so unique to each person. What I can trust is that each person will receive the information, resources, tools and next best step for them in the process of our work together, because it is all based on who they are, where they are in their life and how they are "wired" from the inside out.
