Filed Under Energize Your Biz, Energize Your Life, Energized Entrepreneur, Wealth, Well-Being, Whatever | Leave a Comment
I’m excited to tell you about an incredible experience available to you! Baeth Davis, aka “The Palm Pilot for the Soul of Your Business,”(tm) is a hand analyst who provides NON-predictive, scientific hand-analysis for spirit-rich entrepreneurs to help them identify their spiritual business blueprint from their hands!
This experience is NOT to be missed!
You will discover your Life Purpose -the reason you are here on the planet AND your Life Lesson – which triggers the core fears that can get in the way of your progress. Baeth will show you how to break through your blocks so you can get paid for your passions, claim your fame and BE the change you want to see in the world.
You can sign up for a session here: http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=3677614
Let me know if you have any questions about this life-changing experience! I was skeptical at first, but after interviewing several friends who had gained Baeth’s insightful guidance and after hearing one of my mentors who charges $25K – $1M per person for his coaching sessions requires his mentees to have a session with Baeth before he will event accept them into his coaching programs. That’s when I knew I had to do it to validate what I’d believed most of my life to be my purpose.
Knowing your true life’s purpose is the key to the kingdom, the combination to the vault, your compass for pointing you in the direction to do what you were put here to do. When we are acting in alignment with our purpose and doing what we are supposed to be doing, the Universe conspires in our favor and life becomes easier. It’s when we get the bright, shiny object syndrome, running around chasing the wrong things that life gets out of hand and doesn’t work for us. We know when we’re off track.
Only after having a session with Baeth, then attending her Life Purpose Summit, did it all really click that I was, in fact, on the right path as an Artist and Messenger in the Community Spotlight. Creativity is like oxygen to me, I need it to live as a fully expressed individual and I need audiences for my written and spoken word, need to be in the spotlight to share insights and inspiration with the world. I create community to bring like-minded people together and help them fully express themselves and enable their potential. It’s all in my hands – something I intuitively knew to be true. It just felt right and when I went off path to chase other opportunities, things didn’t work out so much. I know what Baeth gives us is a true gift.
Do you consider yourself a “conscious” or perhaps a “spiritually-minded” entrepreneur? If yes, I am super jazzed to pass on a call series from none other than Baeth Davis. You might know Baeth – she’s the “Palm Pilot for the Soul of your Business(TM), and one amazing entrepreneur! Baeth has created a 5-call series specifically to show you how to discover your unique Passions, People and Platform so you can Summit your business and your life.
The call series is totally free and runs now through August. Calls that are complete are available for instant download – no waiting – including the call everyone is talking about: “Discover Your Unique Media Path”.
Register now to reserve your spot on Baeth’s calls or schedule a session: http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=3840091
You will also hear a bit more about the entrepreneurial event of the season, Baeth’s Life Purpose Summit happening in just a few weeks.
I’ve experienced so much growth personally from Baeth’s insightful guidance and I hope you can too. She can steer you in your right direction if you don’t have a clue as to why you’re here, or validate your true calling if you already have an inkling. You’ll learn about your life school, your life purpose and your life lessons (Those bugaboos that bite you in the back and are always the core of what’s holding you back.)
Once you learn your life lesson, you can recognize it when it keeps showing up, acknowledge it and strategize ways to work through it or around it. I can’t say enough about what you’ll learn from Baeth’s session and her summit. It truly is a life-changing experience that can knock years off your learning curve and keep you from ambling through life without feeling ‘this is it, this is what I’m supposed to be doing’. Knowing your lessons, your school and your purpose make all the difference in the world to put more meaning into your work and your life, because our work is supposed to be all about expressing our true purpose. That’s what it’s all about.

What You Think is Right, May Only Be Cultural
Filed Under Energize Your Biz, Energize Your Life, Energized Entrepreneur, Well-Being, Whatever, Workplace | Leave a Comment
It was on the Ivory Coast of Africa while facilitating teambuilding and communication style workshops with members from 34 different African nations who all worked for the same international organization. Bringing some assemblance of order, cultural understanding, corporate culture adherence and just plain getting your point across was no small feat.
The main point was that what we think of as ‘right’ may only be cultural. It is our belief, our values, the way we think nad behave based upon what we learned from our parents, society, supervisors and general socialization. We can take this further in business and in life by saying what we think of as the right thing to do may be based upon regional, national, familial, political, gender specific, religious or corporate cultural norms.
We can take this to personal relationships and how we run our families and households to how we celebrate traditions or how we offer ourselves to the world. We see this play out in corporate culture not only among different nationalities, but in every single individual and what ideologies and work ethics they bring to the workplace. The clash between Baby Boomers, Traditionalists and the New Generation X and Y’s is a classic example of who holds what important and how they get things done.
Blending your personal cultural values with your corporate culture or even if it’s your personal corporation for entrepeneurs can be a tricky minefield. When you catch yourself saying ‘they should’ or ‘he shouldn’t’ or ‘that’s a stupid rule’, you may need to take a fresh perspective on the situation. Whenever you hear the words ‘should’ come out of your mouth, it’s a red flag that you’re in somebody else’s business or placing your way of ‘right’ onto somebody or something else.
Managing the ‘rightness’ of how things are done in your partnership, in your work, with your coach, in your family or in moving through the world takes awareness that your ‘right’ may not be somebody else’s ‘right’. Seeing the world through a different pair of eyes gives us a new perspectice. Even is that someone else is a new and improved you.
After working with coaches, I am continually gaining new insight and new perspective on how I do my life and my work. I find where I once saw the ‘right’ line, is now a more flexible noodle of a line. It’s softer, more flexible, more gray and moveable. I find myself saying ‘isn’t that an interesting way to look at things’ much more often. Who is coaching you to take a look at what’s right or what doesn’t work in your life and in your business? Is your ‘right line’ bold, straight and immoveable or does it have some play or is it open for discussion?
I invite you to be more open and aware of different ‘rights’ that pop into your life and take a gander, then ask yourself ‘who says it’s right?’.

Adventures, Misadventures & Executive Decisions
Filed Under Energize Your Life, Energized Entrepreneur, Whatever | Leave a Comment
So maybe you’ve made some decisions that didn’t turn out like you had anticipated. Maybe you’ve gained your life experience from some ‘bad’ or ‘wrong’ decisions. Make an executive decision to use the lesson, not lose the lesson of your experiences.
As a speaker and author, I tend to chalk it up to another adventure… or misadventure which gives me lots of material for my programs and articles. Reframing any incident, whether it be a moment or monumental, can make the situation a little easier to endure. We have the power to make that executive decison on our perceptions. I tend to think of life as a grand adventure made up of many smaller adventures and new experiences.
Just like a pearl necklace; your life is a strand of many moments strung together. It’s our decision to create those moments that make up the grand strand. Who wants a boring life anyway? Why not take some risks – no risk, no reward.
Because adventures make good stories, and good stories are made up of overcoming conflict or adversity, then coming out victorious; I’ve made an executive decision to view my experiences as fodder for my work.
It seems to me that the measurement of a good story stemming from a misadventure is directly proportional to the length of time that has passed since that episode. 
It takes more time to pass for some adventures before they can become ‘a good story’ without the sting pf their rawness.
Yes, even being stranded in the Sea of Cortez for a couple hours alone with my SCUBA guide, running out of air, abandoned by our dive boat (with all my belongings – ID, money, clothing), being swept out to open ocean by the current, verging on the realm of hypothermia, the sun setting, nobody to be seen for miles around, and my ship departing in the very near future.
That little misadventure not only took several of my 9 lives, it took several years before I could reframe it without a visceral reaction to the memory. How are you seeing your challenges? I contend we can choose how long it takes before we reframe something. You know they say we will look back and laugh about some of our bad decisions and misadventures. We can also choose to laugh sooner rather than later. It’s all about what we DECIDE to do. There’s no magic formula.
How do you see your life? Are you living your own adventure? What types of life experiences are you creating? How are you reframing your misadventures so you can make better decisions next time. As one of my mentors says, “You can’t hit a home run if you don’t swing”. I choose to take a swing at life and chalk it up to an adventure.
As entrepreneurs, execs and enlightened employees, we make umpteen decisions daily. Isn’t running your own business a grand adventure? We may never know how just one tiny decision can change the course of our life. It’s up to us to course-correct if needed, or remain on that path. I’m making an executive decision to live an adventure. I’m choosing to see my life experiences and ‘bad decisions’ as stepping stones on my way to success, how about you? If you need a guide to lead you through some of your executive decisions and plot your entrepreneurial adventure, give me a call.

On Being More Childlike vs. Childish to Have More Energy
Filed Under Energize Your Biz, Energize Your Life, Energized Entrepreneur, Well-Being, Whatever | Leave a Comment
Upon attending an outdoor concert the other night watching the toddlers dance and play and make new friends very quickly; I’m reminded to be more child-like (not childish) in order to keep up my energy.
Childish is whiney, self-centered, me, me, me. Child-like is inclusive, joyful, open, free and possibility thinking.
This was not a Wiggles concert, it was an 80′s party dance band that got everybody rockin’ from 2 year-old’s to 52 year-olds and the energy was amazing. Here are some observations on being more child-like:
- Free-flowing self expression. What are you doing to express your creativity, your emotions, your message, your authentic self to the world. One boy just kept running across the dance floor with his arms spread out yelling, just yelling and venting and letting it out. Try some sound therapy – vocalize a long A sound loudly for as long as you can in a deep breath – it helps get the energy moving through your body.
- If you fall down, get back up quickly and keep moving forward. Another boy just kep running in circles at top speed. He’d fall, look around, smile and get up to keep running. This went on for 1.5 hours. He never stopped smiling and running, even if he ran into people or tripped and fell. He just kept going. Ski racers and other athletes know the race could go to the one who gets up the fastest after falling.
- Laughter keeps you healthy and vital. As a Certified Laughter Leader, I’ve written on the benefits of laughter. It helps boost our immune system, it connects others, it keeps oxygen flowing to our body, it helps our lungs and it gives us internal exercise. Children laugh 350-450 times per day, adults laugh maybe 15. See the difference?
- Make friends easily. I mean real people, not just Facebook friends. Go out and meet others in person. If the internet crashed tomorow, how many real friends would you have? Friends boost our energy, help us live longer, give us a place to vent and bounce ideas off of and are a soft place to land if we do fall. One little girl just walked around with her arms open and gave kisses to everybody. Sometimes she would just stand there, arms spread with a wanting look in her eye and others would give her a hug.
- Free flowing movement, dance with abandon, run, skip, make a game out of what you’re doing and make it fun. Make a game out of cleaning your house – set a timer and see how fast you can do it, create competition, put on some music, ride your bike for errands, walk to the store, invite others to join. One boy made a game of jumping from one colored marker on the dance floor to the other and did a happy dance when he made it across without touching the other colors. Sheer happiness and a celebration of success.
- Change directions, change activities when your energy is waning on one activity, to focus on another that will pump up your energy. When a child loses interest in something, they immediately change to something else that catches their eye. Us adults call it a short attention span. I call it a smart move to keep your energy and enthusiasm up. If you feel your energy draining, change directions to something new and feel the spark.
- Take new risks, try new things and learn from failures. We can’t win at everything, but when we lose, don’t lose the lesson. Have a beginner’s brain and try something new. I’ve have a pact with myself for the past 25 years to try something new each year and to learn something new – hang gliding, parasailing, moving to a new country, dog sledding, sky diving, bungie jumping or something a little lower key like starting a new business, taking a class, learning a new language or trying vegetarianism.
What are you doing to celebrate your successes? What are you doing to keep your energy and interest at it’s peak? How are you expanding your horizons and learning new things or taking new risks to be more childlike? What puts you in beginner’s brain to be open to new experiences? Now excuse me to go change activities….

Organize to Energize: Making Room for Abundance
Filed Under Energize Your Biz, Energize Your Life, Energized Environment, Wealth, Well-Being, Whatever, Workplace | Leave a Comment
I’m thrilled to be interviewed on the radio talk show Dollars and Sense on 94.9 FM WXRJ or wxrj.org in the mid-west hosted by my good friend, colleague and Professional Speaker, David Lewis and his co-host Cranston Sparks on the topic of Organizing and Energizing Your Life to Make Room for Abundance.
David and Cranston, both successful businessmen, host a weekly show on the topic of finance, success and living a prosperous life by sharing their insights and interviewing thought leaders in their fields. Making sense of making dollars and all the ways to bring success into your life is what they bring to listeners near Chicago and around the country. More details can be found at the radio station site or at DavidGLewis.com.
We discussed how our outside world reflects our inside world and if there’s a mess in our space, there’s likely a mess in our minds. We need to get clarity inside before we see clarity and cleared closets, desks and spaces outside.
The universe doesn’t bring abundance to chaos and if you can’t handle what you already have, then the universe will not be bringing you any more. So get going and get organized and systematized according to your style and preferences. What works for you.
How do you know when you need to get more organized or that you need to make more room for abundance?
1. You are frustrated with bottlenecks in your life
2. Your office, desk, closets, drawers, bedroom, kitchen and car are overflowing with stuff you trip over or dust around and it creates some anxiety
3. You keep losing things, misplacing items and can’t seem to find what you need in a timely manner – you waste time looking for stuff.
4. You are getting feedback from your partner, colleagues, friends or those you live with that your stuff is getting out of control.
So clean up your space, clean up your act and clear the way to make room for abundance. It doesn’t hurt that you can jumpstart your abundance by finding cash in your closets and selling things online or at yard sales etc.
What is overflowing in your life? If everything is overflowing outward, prosperity can’t flow inward – create a space for things to flow into your life on every level. It can start with changing your mind, cleaning off your desk, your calendar or clearing out your closet.
