What an inspiring conversation last week on Empowering Spiritualpreneurs with the Manifesting Muse, Debbi Chambers!

Debbi and I discussed how you can learn to Manifest your goals in a way that really WORKS! She shared her secret formula for manifesting, along with some really great, step-by-step actions you can take to begin manifesting your desires in your life now, today.

If you missed the show, you can listen to it right here in the Episodes on Demand section of my profile.

This week I will be doing something a little different - In light of the upcoming 30 Day Empowered Spiritualpreneur Challenge, I am hosting a special Q&A call in an opportunity for you to receive coaching directly from me.

Two years ago, as I traveled the country accepting invitations to share my Manifesting Garden at conferences and seminars, I also had the opportunity to listen to many other entrepreneurs as they shared their stories with me.

They were personal stories, filled with overcoming obstacles and the achievement of success, as well as future dreams of becoming a published author…

As I connected with these entrepreneurs through my travels, a Divine Idea surged through me.  I decided, “I will collect these pearls of wisdom and compile an anthology; a format for these stories to be shared that will also assist others on their journey to abundance and prosperity”.

No sooner had I had that creative idea when my monkey chatter mind went into overdrive.

• How in the world could I EVER do that?
• I know nothing about book publishing
• It’s been done before
• I’m just little ole me, I wouldn’t even know how to start the process!
• What a foolish idea indeed

I wonder now how many Divine ideas are thrown in the trash every day, victims of those cursed “Hows”?

A few months later, I was fortunate to meet the remarkable Mark Victor Hansen, creator of the #1 International Best Selling anthology series, “Chicken Soup for the Soul”.

“…our heavenly help extends from start to completion on any divinely inspired project.  God doesn’t just give us a good idea and then leave us on our own to finish it.  He gives us the complete package” ~ Doreen Virtue, PhD

What could have been more perfect than attracting the master anthology creator himself into my life experience at that precise period of time? Read the rest of this entry »

Recently I was coaching a client that has really been feeling a sense of challenge because they have someone in their life that is very ill and really by all accounts should have passed over by now.

It’s been a number of years now – this person is a real fighter – they are someone who is very rooted in the belief that you fight no matter what, and they’ve been battling against the idea of transitioning.

I recently had a ‘yearly review’ conversation with a client I’ve been working with that turned out to be very interesting.

When we first started coaching together, it was all about getting an effective selling process for her, because sometimes people would hire her and sometimes they wouldn’t, and she wanted to gain more consistency in that.

At the time, she wasn’t quite making six figures, and she wanted to break through to that. She figured that once that happened and she had a really effective selling process that she would be set – it was all she wanted.

So we’re having this conversation and she said, “You know, it’s so amazing to me that I said I just wanted to make six figures. Before I started this coaching process I was a one-woman show. Now, I have a business that has other coaches coaching for me. I’ve created programs that other people are teaching. I’ve got virtual assistants and a team of people working for me, and I’m making well into six figures.

“I really thought that when I got to this place, that it would just be like I’ve arrived. That this is it!”

Then she said, “What’s interesting to me is that it doesn’t feel like that! Now I’m thinking, ‘Well, yeah, this is good BUT’…I really need to go to the next level! I need to be able to take a month off this business and have it run by itself! I need to be able to have a chief marketing officer! I need to be able to…”

And you know, I just laughed. I said to her, “Well, congratulations!”

She said, “What? What are you congratulating me about?” Read the rest of this entry »

Guest Post by: Dr. Joe Rubino

My name is Joe Rubino, and over the course of the last 18 years I have personally coached more than 1000 different people to make their lives work more optimally, increase their productivity, and attract the wealth, meaningful relationships, and lives of their dreams.

During these many years, one thing became crystal clear: whenever people were living in scarcity mode, unhappy with themselves and their relationships, stuck in jobs they were not passionate about, or suffering in any aspect of their lives, the common denominator was always low self-esteem!

So, why do so many settle for living a dimmed existence? Why are so many resigned to, “That’s just the way things are”? And why do they feel incapable of realizing all those dreams they have long since given up on achieving?

They settle for less because they have conditioned themselves to expect less and so that is exactly what they get!

They bring about a self-fulfilling prophecy and then get to be right about thinking that they can’t be happy, healthy, wealthy, or fulfilled. They then get angry about how unfair life is. They feel sorry for themselves and attract the pity of others.

Before long, they are so enveloped in their gloom that resignation takes over and they give up on all possibilities inconsistent with how they picture themselves and their world.

So, what then is the answer to exiting this downward spiral of lower expectations, low grade resignation and chronic suffering? Read the rest of this entry »

I was recently working with some of the students in my Empowered Spiritual Life Coaching program, and they raised some interesting questions about some of the resistance they were feeling toward some of the tools in the energy management system.

They were asking things like, “How is this any different from positive affirmations? How is this any different from visualizing?”

As coaching students, I was glad they brought this up, because I believe the system I’ve received and teach to others in seeking spirit daily is very different from things like affirmations – which can be wonderful, but not always energetically accessible to everyone!

The spiritual energy management system was given to me as I prayed for answers on how to keep on the right track energetically throughout my day.

What would happen would be that I would meditate in the morning, truly seeking Spirit daily, but by then something would happen and all that peace would just be wiped out by 9:00 in the morning!

I didn’t have a way of getting back on track, so it was kind of like it was all downhill from there energetically.  By the end of the day I’d be beating myself up – how did I let it get so bad? I’d be snapping at my husband, snapping at my daughter, snapping at myself for snapping at them…I needed a way to get myself back on the horse energetically so that all of this could just be avoided!

So I prayed and asked, “How do you get yourself out of the quicksand when you get sucked in?”

The guidance that I received was all of the elements of the energy management system. I got them step by step, but of particular importance to me was the perceptual shifting process, which is really just helping yourself to be OK with where you are and then making a small baby step into how you want to feel.

Helping yourself shift just that tiny bit in the moment tremendously impacts how easily you can get out of the ‘quicksand’, and what happens when you keep using this process over and over again is that you avoid even getting into the quicksand in the first place, because you’ll be able to see it ahead of you!

I coached my students to think of it along the same lines as daily hygiene. Take a second now and think about the things you have to do every day when it comes to hygiene: Read the rest of this entry »

It has been quite a while since I contacted you about going on a spiritual retreat with me, but the most wonderful news came through to me and I want to invite you right now so you can reserve time to be there and save money, too!

There will be another marvel-filled spiritual retreat in September!

This will be my fourth retreat experience with my spiritual mentor, Ruth Lee, and I can tell you that on every one, amazing miracles have happened!

When I look back on these retreats I’ve been on with Ruth, the impression I have is one of stepping into the Celestine Prophecy novel – at every turn you’re just living that spiritual adventure experience.

One of the things that made me feel this way in particular was when we synchronistically met up with a shaman while we were in Mexico – this shaman took us up into the mountains and assisted us in participating in some incredible rituals, and we were all feeling like we were living in some kind of spiritual adventure novel through all the different, synchronistic things that happened!

Every retreat I’ve gone on has come at a time that really helped me to grow and expand in my connection to my inner guidance and my ability to be able to experience a greater sense of peace not matter what is happening around me.

I believe it’s extremely important for people to carve time out to go away on spiritual retreat so that you can have an immersion experience and really focus on your own spiritual journey. Give yourself time away from the hustle and the bustle and the stress and the cell phones and the tweeters and Facebooks and all of that…so that you’re really just slowing down to make a connection.

Another incredible experience I had personally was on retreat in Ecuador. We were taken to these healing waters and allowed to sit in them. This was after I’d had my own healing issue and I would need to go back for a follow-up visit when I returned home.

As I sat in these healing waters, I could literally feel something in my whole body – it was like warmth was spreading through my whole body and I was transported out of myself. I was not aware of anything around me – I was told later that I’d sat there in those healing waters for over an hour, and it felt like three minutes to me. Read the rest of this entry »

Guest Post by Heather Dominick, EnergyRICH® Entrepreneur Success  & Master Coach

I’ve found that there are three big blocks that most often come up when anyone is looking at using a professional’s service or getting ready to buy a product.

• Money
• Time
• Timing

This is with the understanding that everything else is a match. They have a need and you can serve that need. They feel connected to you. You have established trust, you both feel excited, and the energy of possibilities is clearly in the air between you.

Then one of the major blocks pops up.

What now? How can you help?

Let’s start with first understanding the energy behind the blocks. By doing this, we are able to come from a place of empathy, rather than sympathy. It is a disaster move, as a service provider, for you to join them in their blocks.

That might sound something like, “I know exactly what you mean Ms. Prospect, and there are a lot of things that I really want, but can’t have either. I hate it, too.” Read the rest of this entry »

When you’re starting your own business as an entrepreneur or coach, it’s very easy to feel like you’re giving your entire life up to your work and leaving no room for any kind of work life balance.

It’s very easy to allow this to happen because you can start to feel like you have to justify not working in a ‘normal’ job – and how do you do that?

Hard work and struggle.

There’s a certain amount of this that is vibrational in nature, because you’ve got beliefs around ideas like, “I have to work really hard to make the kind of money I need and I can’t have it all – something has to be sacrificed.”

These beliefs need to be shifted at the inner level, but you also must recognize that at the outer level, many coaches and entrepreneurs try to do everything on their own. They think they don’t have the money to delegate, or to hire people to do things, so instead what many end up doing is draining their creativity energy by trying to do everything.

When I was first starting out as an entrepreneur with my own coaching business and I didn’t necessarily want to allocate resources to staff and assistance and things like that, I came up with some other possibilities to get the help I needed. Read the rest of this entry »

Guest post written by: Stefanie Hartman

Recently I have found out that many people I have spoken with think that a joint venture is something that only Fortune 500 companies use or some technique internet marketers who are selling products to data bases use.

This is so wrong!

For example, check out this case study is about how a single woman created a whole magazine product with professional writers – at no cost – and with none of her time!  She gets 100% of the credit, 100% of the leads & customers and 100% of the profits – and her contributing JV partners are thrilled with that exchange?

Want to know how she did it?
