Have you ever noticed how much your clutter can weigh you down? There’s a physical negative energy dragging you down with your clutter. It weighs on your mind and it fills up your life space so that new energy cannot enter into your life. I’ve been in major purge mode lately, from the physical clutter in my life to the mental clutter and other noise and distractions. It’s such a freeing feeling to let go of things and stuff that are just not working for you any more. Get clear on what to do and what do drop, then take action and move forward to get things moving in your life.
If you’re feeling stuck, then change something in your life to get things moving. Having moved at least 15 times in the past 25 years, I’m getting good at letting go of what’s not bringing me joy in more and what I don’t absolutely need. I also don’t want to pay to move stuff. Just think about how much money your stuff is costing you in larger homes, storage fees, moving fees etc. Is your stuff really worth all the financial or emotional cost?
I’ve found that once you make a decision to take action, the rest falls in to place, it’s the hemming and hawing and miring yourself in the decision making that takes time. It’s the DECISION that’s the turning point. Once you DECIDE that something is no longer offering personal or professional growth, it may be time to move on. What is weighing you down in your life? What can you purge to get your energy unstuck? What isn’t serving you any more? What is your internal or external clutter costing you? External clutter is the stuff you can trip over, give to charity, or give to the dumpster and internal clutter is the stuff in your mind, your old belief systems, old ways of doing things or other behaviors that don’t serve you any more. What else can you clear out of your life that is holding you back to unclear the bad energy? Decide to take action and see what happens!

I wanted to get this message out to you before I take off on a cruise with my mom for her Mother’s Day present. She’s 80 and after taking her to Vegas for her birthday, I realized she’s never been on a luxury cruise, so off we go. I wanted to share this note and photo of me doing biz in Cabo in one of those fabulous personal palapas - there’s no better way to go than to be able to mix fun and effectiveness as an entrepreneur.Having just received Barbara Winter’s latest newsletter for the Joyfully Jobless and having just returned from Cabo where Stedman Graham was one of our keynote speakers, the topic of imagination came up in both instances. I think imagination is one of the most overlooked ways to energize your life and help solve business and personal problems. Sometimes you need to access the right side of your brain to get creative when meeting your challenges. Stedman said that imagination is more important than information. It can take us much further and open more doors.
Here’s what Barbara Winter has to say from her newsletter. She’s the author of Making a Living Without a Job - one of my first books on mulitple profit centers and turning passions into profits.
* IMAGINATION IS A POWER TOOL. There was a time when I was ridiculed for being a dreamer. I realize that I was cultivating one of my most valuable resources-my unlimited imagination. Our own business is the perfect place to exercise that on a daily basis.
* SELF-DISCOVERY IS ALSO ABOUT ELIMINATING WHAT DOESN’T FIT. Mistakes, wrong turns and unsatisfying projects also offer important lessons in what isn’t right for me. Often there’s no other way to learn those things than through doing.
What doesn’t fit for you any more? What can you imagine your life to be if you had no barriers? What is stopping you from attaining what you imagine? What would happen if you turn off your TV and do your own imagining instead of watching somebody else’s story? What do you want your story to look like? As an entrepreneur, I use my imagination daily - I dare you to use your imagination more in your daily life and see what happens.

Do you often feel like you just don’t have enough time in your day to finish your “To Do” list? Is the thought of getting all those things accomplished dragging you down? Or do you wrestle with the thought of advertising, interviewing, and hiring an assistant only to have it be a hassle with payroll, number of hours you need worked or finding the right personality fit?
Enter the amazing world of Virtual Assistants who are lifesavers in this age of project management and fast-paced changes in what we need to get accomplished. I met Katie Gutierrez, President of www.AssistantMatch.com briefly in San Diego in January. I kept thinking that I really needed to retain the services of her team. Then we met again in Cabo a couple weeks ago and I decided I NEEDED to start immediatly in order to get my life back in balance as I scaled up my businesses. Within 2 hours of calling, a new record in hiring somebody, she had my VA ready to go. If you want to get back some balance and not feel overwhelmed, I would highly reccommend Katie and her team at Assistant Match - tell her I sent you. Her rates will be going up on June 15th, so I would do it now if you’ve ever been thinking of it and gain more time for yourself by hiring your life support team. You will be glad you did.

Are You Crazy or Lucky - How’s Your Energy?
Filed Under Wealth | Leave a Comment
I just returned from an amazing week in Cabo - among some of the finest minds I’ve ever witnessed. The energy in the conference room of 250 entrepreneurs, wealth builders and investors was palpable. Most of our guest speakers commented on the energy in the room. Being a professional speaker, I could relate to what they were saying about feeling the energy of the room. It’s electric in some crowds and void in others. The reason why this crowd was vibrating on a higher fequency was that we all knew that we are in charge of creating our own future and we have a plan to get there.
Unlike so many other audiences who are joined together because of an employer, this group was there by choice and they were in tune because they have the wealth road map. It’s amazing how much more energy you have when you are on the path to wealth and life’s riches - not just money riches, but prosperity in all forms.
One of our speakers was a developer in Los Cabos - on the Baja Penninsula - owning a reported huge percentage of the land down there. He said when you do things against the norm of the masses, you are considered crazy. When it begins to see that things are working out for you, then you are called a visionary. When all is said and done and your pathway has lead to success, you are considered lucky. So are people calling you crazy? Are they calling you a visionary? Or are they telling you that you’re lucky? That may just be the evidence you need to show just how far you’ve come. When you’re on your right path, your energy will soar. My hair stylist today said now that she has her own shop, she bounds out of bed and comes to work early. She said her old co-workers would never believe it because she was always late when she worked with them. It’s amazing the energy you find when you work for yourself and are in charge of creating your own future. Here’s a link to your own wealth roadmap, so you can catch the train to financial freedom and be a very lucky, energetic individual: http://www.LiveOutLoud.com
