This year more than any other is all about freedom and change. Change that will support us in finally stepping up to claim our freedom and becoming the soul creator of our futures. And the freedom to create change that will bring more passion, purpose and fulfillment into our lives. Its a great path. One that has more rewards and opportunities than we ever thought possible. But it also has its challenges that, although give us the tools we require for our next steps and to make more informed decisions in the future, still suck. You've probably heard the saying or some variation of it that: "Things turn out for the best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out." - John Wooden PAUSE........ Now if simply making the best of the way things 'turned out' was so easy the world would be a much more pleasant place. So why exactly are some more successful at it than others? And how can you join the club? Well I have 3 keys for you.... 1) We all know that what you focus on expands. That your energy either elevates or declines to match that focus, as does the rest of your environment. The key here is to be present and be kind enough to yourself to 'see' things as they really are - not better or worse. Once you begin to view your current circumstances as they really are, you can then make the conscious decision to focus on the light through the all the chaos that will lead you to your next steps as opposed to a dead end. 2) The number 1 mindset shift that separates the successful from the stuck is this: Making the best of your current circumstances does NOT mean that you have to accept them as they way things will always be - or a sign of things to come or your ability to create what you desire. The only thing that's constant in the world is change. Most we create ourselves, and some we attract or are 'gifted' in order to then make the bigger leaps forward on our path of creation. Regardless of where you find yourself, good, bad, amazing, or dreadful, I can absolutely guarantee you that they will not remain that way forever - however the direction of that change is entirely up to you. 3) The number 1 reason people fail is because they subtract their personal responsibility from the equation of creation. (And most often they don't even know they're doing it!) Anytime you want to really harness your power and take your life to the next level or create any sort of shift, you must first claim your power of responsibility. Responsibility for continually being the soul creator of your life regardless of what you find on your path. That if what you find is in-fact not something that you want, to change it. The responsibility of setting yourself up for success by not doing everything on your own, and to ask for the support you need when you need it. Things will not always turn out exactly how we envisioned that they would. And a lot of the time when we look back we're glad that we didn't get exactly what we thought we wanted at the time. In the future, these 3 keys will help you to move through those times where you feel your train is derailing with as much confidence and grace as possible. © 2012 Freedom Management Inc.

One of the BIGGEST things I see with everyone I work with, no matter what stage they’re at, is that the line between a Limit and an Obstacle becomes so blurred that they can no longer tell the difference. And what’s worse is that it results in everything coming to a dramatic halt because they stop taking inspired action! And in this time of fast, transformational change and opportunity, taking consistent, inspired action is KEY! So what do you need to know to sore through this stumble point with confidence and grace….. First of all what’s the difference? Let’s start with Limits… - Limits are first and foremost self created and self accepted! - They are self-limiting beliefs or fears that over time we have allowed to be manifested to appear and feel real. - They require you to think and stay small because we often perceive them as absolute. Remember, limits always come from within. And yes this is true even when someone else brings a ‘limit’ to your attention. If that same limiting belief or fear was not there to begin with, you would simply ignore it and keep going. Obstacles… - Obstacles or Challenges always give us the experience we require to create our vision to it’s fullest potential. - They are ALWAYS about creating room to grow by requiring us to let go of something that’s no longer serving us. - They require us to step outside our comfort zone and grow! To be creative and embrace and express the best parts of our authentic self. Remember, the universe is always looking out to keep us ‘on track’. When it comes to obstacles despite their often scary outward appearance our best interest and a greater good are always it’s #1 intention. (The universe never does anything without a purpose) Look around you for inspiration. There is not 1 story out there where someone overcame an obstacle who had a negative experience on the other side or did not receive something positive and of immense value from it. As long as your stay true to your path, you’ll always succeed. So when EXACTLY do the lines become blurred, and how to you shift it? Read More Here

The journey of embracing your inner visionary is forever ongoing because we as an evolutionary species are forever growing. It is also a choice. As we enter this transformational period of awakening, we are quickly becoming divided as people are choosing to either step up or check out altogether. If you’re reading this, you’ve chosen to step up! Or you’ve recognize that you’ve checked out in even one area of your life and are ready to step up! (Either way, celebration is in order) One of the KEYS to profound personal success during this time of great change is to always be peeking ahead. Whether it be dreaming of what the next level of your authentic life is, how to create a positive experience from a negative one, or what your next big adventure will be. Those visions of ‘what could be’ are how we create ‘what is’, they are what pull us forward in any direction we choose. So how can we take full advantage of this forgotten inner quality? There’s 3 things you have to know….

At first thought, a lot of people describe Freedom as being able to do what they want, when they want. And there’s a lot of truth to that statement. After all, the power of being able to truly be the soul creator of your life and make your own schedule is a pretty freeing one. On the contrary, it can also be a very constricting one, as any level of freedom above and beyond what we’re currently experiencing can seem so far out of reach, impossible, unrealistic even. But when you dig a little deeper, you soon discover that it has very little to do with having all 24hrs in a day to do as you please, but to have even just a few of those hours to do something meaningful. Something that allows you to make an impact while expressing all your unique gifts and talents. Something that you love! So where is this ‘middle ground’? How exactly do we go from dreaming, thinking and talking about it, to actually going out and doing it? Well, like anything that’s about to be built, we must first create the space for it to happen! Here are a few of my key steps to get you started… 1) Go within, listen and trust your inner woman! These are always the first steps to every process no matter how long you’ve been at it, or what level your at. Why? Because every transformation begins with YOU. Each action begins with a decision, and any urning for something more comes from the next part of your higher, authentic self wanting to come to the surface to be expressed. Although you may have been tuning her out, pushing her messages to the deepest darkest part of yourself, or allow your mind to be so ‘loud’ that you can’t hear her at all, you know she’s there. You don’t want to let her down, but at the same time, who is she? Can you trust her? Read More Here

You’ve probably noticed that as soon as you declare your next step with power and confidence, and finally begin taking those first few action steps and get that ball rolling in the right direction that the challenges and obstacles come up – almost instantly. Its like the only punchline the universe knows – and it’s totally not funny! So naturally, we begin to wonder, “Can I really do this?” “Was this the right decision after all?” “Why is it that no matter what I do, things keep getting in my way?” “Why does this keep happening to me!” You can’t help by feel as though you’re being tested, to see if you’re really truly serious. For starters, if that’s you, I want to tell you that you’re definitely not alone here. And I’d like to offer you a lighter, softer, more empowering perspective from the other side

To say that some major shifts, both internally and externally, have happened for me in the last month would almost be an understatement. ( You can read more about that in the June edition of Insight! Be sure you get your copy here, because it’s going to be a doosie! ) Prior to this, I have to be honest and say I was feeling a little funny. The best way I can describe it is like a slow motion version of the space between your foot leaving the ground, and touching back down as you continue on your path. Like that space between where I was and where I was about to be, would qualify me for what lied ahead. (To keep things simple lets call it limbo) Deep down I knew I was on the right track, but I couldn’t help but feel that there were some missing pieces – some big pieces. Ones that would eventually add an impressive power, passion and authenticity to everything I do. Ones that would uplift me to my next level of being and that would provide me with the perfect tools to put me in alignment with both where I wanted to go, and where I was meant to go. Throughout that time in limbo, I was reminded of a beautiful quote by one of my mentors that definitely lit a spark within me, that has only now become a bright light of inspiration – “Spirit doesn’t call the qualified. Spirit qualifies the called” The “Call” in question, is often talked about in many forms and forums and has many definitions, and this was something that caused a stir of confusion within me as I struggled to find myself. I always thought it was some euphoric moment in your life where you would hear a foreign yet familiar and gentle voice that would tell you exactly what you were brought here to do. That in that moment it would all become crystal clear. Because I hadn’t experience that yet, I questioned whether I really was on the right track. Each waking momenta tornado of questions wreaked havoc in my mind as I constantly wondered: Was it not my time to be ‘Called”, was the phone ringing and I just couldn’t hear it, had my line been disconnected or had I missed the call altogether!? I have to say I was rather confused! A lot of the foundation work was there. I knew how I wanted to show up in the world, and the main method I wanted to use to be of service and give back. I also had a few pieces of what was to come, what I was to create and how profound and life changing it would be. Needless to say, I almost felt inauthentic. Like the person I was, could not live up to the future that was being presented to me. Like I was not fully ‘qualified”. To me, now that I’m here, receiving that “Call” comes in the form of an experience (or for some of us experiences) that opens us up to our souls inspiration. The point in our life where we can remove the dust, or shine the light on those last few words on but a page of our story, that was within us all along. My biggest take away from this experience has been that our “Call’ is not something that we receive from without, but something that lies deep within us that we merely need the divine guidance to be able to put the pieces together, to read between the lines, to see what we had previously been unable to see. I have to say Im LOVING the song my soul is playing! And each and everyday, I learn more of the words, turn it up a little louder and sing along as loud as I can. As your Freedom Creation Coach, I hope that my experience will light a spark within you, to connect the dots, and shine the light so that you may see with fresh eyes, what you had previously been unable to see. © 2011 Freedom Management Inc.

According to the poem, April showers are supposed to bring May flowers….. But here is Calgary, Alberta is’s been April snow, brings brown grass followed by…well…more snow. Although for me February 1st marks the first day of Spring in my heart, Im more than sure that Mother Nature knows what she’s doing. So, I decided to go with the flow by getting more in touch with my inner nature (as if the wacky weather hadn’t made me crazy enough already) and to honour where I really was in my journey. What did I discover? Well, much like Mother Nature, although on the calendar Spring should be well upon us, baby animals, flowers, gentle fresh breezes picnics and all, it just wasn’t time yet. Like Mother Nature, I needed to take some extra time to Cocoon before ‘springing’ forward in a truly refreshed and rejuvenated way. You’re probably thinking what the hell is Cocooning? How do you do it, why do you do it, and why I’ve spent the better part of the last 3 months there? So Im pulling back the curtain again so that you can make the most of what can be a very confusing time! The beginning: Over the last few weeks, I had been feeling a lot of strong energy around me, like my personal atmosphere – or bubble – was completely breaking down and restructuring itself. There were big questions burning in my brain like “What is my story? What is my purpose right now? Where am I? How can I give the most of my present self to benefit more people?” I felt confused all the time which led to spurts of frustration and even anger or sadness at my lack of clarity and understanding of what was going on around me, as well as my inability to hear it, let alone see it. I felt as though I was being pushed and pulled in so many different directions at once, that if I did not do something I very well may be ripped apart! (Does this sound familiar to you?) But discomfort in all, I made the 1 conscious decision to stick with it as “this too shall pass” Read More.....

Have you ever had the feeling, that although you know you’re hard at work on bettering yourself, and your life, that you’re always starting over? That you’re always forced to go back to square one, and retake those first steps to your success? Whether its in your business or in your personal life, the feeling of “always having to start over” is one you may experience more than you would like, and one that is often followed by a heavy sigh and accompanied by intense feelings of frustration, exhaustion and despair. I want to tell you, from the depths of my heart, that you are NOT alone in this!! There are literally thousands, if not millions of women out there, right now, that feel exactly as you do. That feel it. That get it. That understand and have compassion for you and what you’re going through. Today, I want to pull back the curtain and tell you that, I too, am one of those women! As we speak I am currently immersing myself, mind, body, spirit and soul, into a weekend virtual event of awakening with some of the best experts in the industry. And as a divine result (of which you too will reap the benefits) I am currently ‘starting over’ myself, both personally and in my business, in order to serve you, and my purpose more authentically, fearlessly and powerfully than ever before. (Be prepared, and excited, to see a lot of shifts happening over the next few months!) From my experience I want to let you know that what you’re feeling is an amazing thing! And I also want to urge you to not allow this trick of the over-protective subconscious and ego to pull the curtain over your eyes. You see it’s all about perception – as I have quickly learned. You a never ‘starting over’ Not only is the phrase ‘starting over’ cumbersome, but just the thought of it is heavy and full of pressure and endless expectation. So I’d like to offer you my point of view. (And would love to hear your’s as well!) You are never starting over! You are simply shedding away what is no longer serving you, stepping up to a high level of being and allowing a brighter light- a more authentic and powerfully feminine you to shine through. Like the beautiful oak becomes wiser with every changing season – honor your evolution! The exhaustion is merely an indication of the work you’ve already done. So like the wise oak in Winter, take that time to sit in stillness, listen, be open and rejuvenate. Tune in to your inner nature. And as your internal Spring approaches, embrace the new, take your own advice and put your new found wisdom into action. Wishing You Freedom of Body, Mind, Spirit and Life.

Throughout the Freedom Creation Coaching process, my clients experience countless Ah-Ha moments. However, every once in a while, I have the privilege of witnessing one of my clients experience a true breakthrough. The kind of breakthrough where they are immediately lifted to their next level of conscious being and are able to spread their wings and shine their light even brighter than before as they embrace and step into a new caliber of personal freedom! It is a moment to be celebrated! A true testament of the level of personal devotion and commitment to their journey of creating their ultimate vision of freedom. My client, Katie Willis, is no exception. Her story is inspiring. Her journey, a long winding road, but never lacking in light and excitement. The depths of the sea of love in her heart and compassion in her soul are of the most genuine, selfless and simply beautiful I have ever had the personal pleasure of experiencing. And this breakthrough we’ve been talking about, well to be completely honest, there were SEVERAL of this caliber for Kaite. But this particular one, was just too important not to share with the world! *** Let It Get To You A piece of advice I find myself hearing again and again is this: “Just, don’t let it get to you.” Now, this advice is sound in certain situations. It has a place with minor stressors and annoyances that one can simply shift their focus from. By choosing to place our energies elsewhere, we can often “not let it get to us”, because we have already surpassed whatever “it” is. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes, a kind, well-intentioned soul will say “just, don’t let it get to you”, and we feel panicked. Because – hang on a second – how do I not let it get to me when it has already gotten here? Before we could realize, or try to stop it, this thing has found a way in and is running amok inside, wreaking havoc on our well being and self-assurance. At this point saying, “don’t let it get to you” is like saying, “don’t think of a purple elephant”. Try though you might to select your thoughts and focus elsewhere, every time you lose concentration, the elephant is staring down its horribly purple trunk at you. Things happen, in this truly awesome universe, which are not-so-wonderful. Things happen that make us feel small or insecure or tired. Things shake the foundations and rock the boats of our soul. Sometimes they are big and traumatic. Sometimes they are small and stinging. And this advice that tells us to strive to not be bothered makes us dishonest with ourselves. We shove these not-so-wonderful things away. We hide from them or bury them and try to distract ourselves. But telling ourselves that we have nothing to feel bothered about when something has bothered us is false. When not-so-wonderful things happen, when the “it’s” get in, we’ve got to own it. We’ve got to acknowledge that they are real and legitimate and bothersome. Give ourselves that space to feel and express. Say it out loud. Write it down. Sing it from a mountaintop. Spell it out in your breakfast cereal. Accept it. Let it be real. Let it be “a thing”. Let yourself say, “Yep, it got to me” and mean it. And then, let it go. There is no point pretending the elephant isn’t there or that it isn’t purple. There is no point denying that it got in. Let the not-so-wonderful’s be not-so-wonderful. Let the unfortunate’s be unfortunate. And then move on to more wonderful, fortunate things. - Katherine Willis

In the age of information, anything and everything we could possibly need information on, is literally at our fingertips! In a lot of ways, this is a monumental innovation as our lives get busier and our range of influence has become global. As a result, we’ve naturally become accustomed to being instantly catered to, with the internet, social media, fast food and smart phone technology. But when it comes to creating our ultimate vision of Freedom and truly living our dream, what we want is definitely not something we’re going to achieve in an instant. Now consciously this is something that we all know, and know very well. But it is also the tripping point for a lot of people! We’re so used to how ‘instant’ a lot of things in our lives can be, that once we are left waiting, or left wanting we begin to constantly badger ourselves with questions like: “Why hasn’t this happened yet?” “When are things going to start looking up?” “What am I doing wrong?” “What am I not doing, not doing enough of, or completely overlooking all together?” Not only are we not getting what we desire, when we desire it, but we’re receiving what is almost instant frustration as a result. And this is exactly where we can get stuck, and in some cases give up all together. (Where your subconscious mind and ego are not your friend) If you take nothing more from this today, I want you to really know that, it is better to be stuck, and be in that place and embrace what it has to offer you, than it is to simply throw in the towel! Because when it comes to creating our ultimate vision of freedom, the one we were specifically put here at this precise moment in time to create, the foundation of success is firmly built on trust. Trust that the divine time will be the right time. Trust that when you do not have something, it is because you do not need it. Trust that everything, good or bad, has a gift for you in its hands. Trust that in being in the state of ‘stuck’ that clarity and rejuvenated passion await you. Trust that when you are ‘waiting’ that it is time to listen, and that the answers will come. Trust that you are here in service to your dream, to support it unconditionally, and that it will do on to you in return. On the path to our ultimate freedom, the next step is always revealed to us at the perfect time for us to take it. And even if that step is to go deep within ourselves and listen, to reconnect to our cores essence, to further clarify our purpose. Even when we do not feel a tangible connection to the work that we are doing, whether it be personal or professional, we are STILL moving forward. We are still taking the steps on our path. Because this work, this inner intangible work, is just as important, and is all relative. It is the other ‘stuff’ that we experience when we choose to live a conscious life, and to be truly be the soul creators of our lives. Allow yourself to be supported. Allow your dream to be in service to you and to provide you with the perfect lessons, gifts and experiences to further facilitate and guide you to… the next step. © 2011 Freedom Management Inc.

Happy International Women's Day!!....A Celebratory Reflection, Gratitude and a Divine Call To Feminine Action Today marks the 100th Anniversary of International Women’s Day!! In the year of 2011, we are the most educated, independent and prosperous generation of women in History!!! (How amazing is that!) I can’t help but express the deepest gratitude for those who have come before us. Who carried out their great work, in the least of ideal conditions, and literally paved the way for us to walk in a renewed light. I can’t think of anything more inspiring and soul sparking! As we celebrate these divine, feminine and amazing women of the past, the courageous pioneers of our present day, and of course lovingly acknowledging and honoring our own unique journey, I am instantly uplifted and filled with love, knowledge, divine feminine energy, strength and confidence! But along with the celebratory light of the past, comes the light that shines on the great work to be done on the path ahead! A call to intentional action immediately comes into consciousness in a powerful way as there are millions of women world wide who have yet to experience all that the accomplishments of our ancestors has to offer! Just think, i f we were to ALL embrace our unique divine gifts and shine our light on the world the things we will be celebrating one year from now! We invite you to join our community and celebrate with us!

When we think of the word vulnerable, we almost automatically tighten up, and feel the cold shiver of the unknown expand to each and every one of our cells. However, in my research, both internally and externally, I found that regardless of how it was defined the word vulnerable has a strong common theme of ‘being open!” This was definitely an Ah-Ha moment for me as I suddenly began to see the light as opposed to the dark. Of course it goes without saying that allowing ourselves to be ‘vulnerable’ is uncomfortable as things could go either way for us. We don’t know for sure what lies ahead. But the dark side of this, is something we all know far too well. Therefore I wanted to set the intention, and take this time to show you the light, as I’ve experienced it, as I have seen it. Being vulnerable, is one of the most divinely supported places we could possible allow ourselves to be in! It is where we fully step up and put ourselves out there, and become ‘open’ to receiving anything and everything, good or bad, that the universe would have us experience. It is where we learn life’s lessons, where we take and make our biggest most profound leaps, where we step over the threshold to take in our greatest rewards. It is both heavy, and lightly beautiful. The place where we are finally able to let go. It is where we become aware of our everlasting, never-wavering strength. It is where we become one with our personal power in it’s most concentrated, purest form. Where what we are about to create is essentially limitless. It is like the darkest part of night, where you can’t see your own hand in-front of your face let alone the path ahead, but if you look up, you can always see the stars! This is what I have come to call divine vulnerability. A place where you are always in good hands, and where everything plays a part in contribution to your greatest good, should you choose to embrace it. © 2011 Freedom Management Inc.

A large part of our work is dedicated to the future. To planning, preparing, brainstorming and dreaming of what awaits us on the horizon. What lies ahead for us personally, professionally, for those around us, and what we want to create. And once we’ve gotten ahold of that crystal clear, even slightly fuzzy or incomplete vision of where our passion, purpose and dreams will take us next, we can’t help but feel stuck in the yuck! The yuck of not knowing exactly what to do, when to do it, or even how the heck we’re going to pull it off, and the yuck of being……well exactly where we are. Because let’s be honest, it can be difficult to hold the space for yourself to tap into the essence of your dream of being forever financially free when you’re barely scrapping by working a job that doesn’t make you happy while living in a crappy little apartment that you share with a variety of creepy crawlies! So perhaps while we’re all taking in our reality with a grain of salt, it’s only fair to make it a little sweeter by stepping outside ourselves and our ‘present’ to honor our personal process and take in the entire picture that is our unique journey. You see you weren’t always where you are now. At some point, perhaps not so far in the past, you felt that where you were, was far from where you thought you’d ever be. And the next step to realizing your vision, your biggest dreams and deepest passions was to get to exactly where you stand today. You new then as you know now that you still had a ways to go, but you were definitely with every ounce of your being, moving forward. And for that, for this, you were and still are, forever grateful. The present is perfect. It is because you created it. With your vision, dreams, passions and purpose in the forefront of your mind, or not. It is a part or your journey. On the path of life, there are no short cuts, no advance to the next checkpoint options.The only we get ahead without having to take each individual step is by taking a leap. And as for your current discomfort. Well, I can tell you from my personal experience that it’s a sure and true sign that the time to shift is approaching. That you’ve already began to allow your internal compass to change direction, and begin to guide you in the direction of your dreams. So take some time to really appreciate where you are right now, as you never know what part of your journey will gift you one of your life’s greatest lessons, or which will be the final platform for fully realizing what you’ve been creating all along. © 2011 Freedom Management Inc.

Once you make the committed decision to reclaim your life, and to begin living it on your own terms, the big questions that are suddenly before us, are What do I want, Who do I want to become, What do I want to create? (And the same holds true for your business) At the beginning of your entrepreneurial journey, the start of each new year, at the break of every new day, the questions before you are still, What do I want, Who do I want to become, What do I want to create? And it is through our journey, our great work, that we discover the answers to those questions. I strongly believe that even though we may not be aware of how or what we need to do to get to where we want to be, we always know (in one form or another) where we want to end up. Because although it is your passion that is rooted in being of service for others, it is your purpose, that is rooted in you. Therefore it is crucial that with YOU is where you start. It is not selfish, but necessary for our evolution as human beings that our own personal needs are fulfilled before we are able to support others to the deep extent that we desire, and that they deserve. And its from far too early on that we are repeatedly asked and conditioned to wonder and ask ourselves, What do you want to be….when you grow up, before we are truly able to connect with Who We Are. What’s important to us, What we value, what makes us happy. We spend our time chasing, and trying to get a clear glimpse of our future selves based on what appeals to us from the outside. From looking without for the answers as opposed to looking within. And it is not only until we’ve lost ourselves, almost completely, that we finally look back on our path, to see where our purpose, where our true self, was left behind. So take some time to ask yourself: What do I want Who do I want to become What do I want to create And like your shadow is always right behind you, I can assure you that you wont have to look to far, when you choose to truly ‘see’ yourself with open eyes and an open heart. © 2010 Freedom Management Inc.

The title, or label of “Entrepreneur” is one that is becoming increasingly coveted and highly regarded and respected. Just one of many definitions of an entrepreneur is “someone who is willing to assume the responsibility, risk and rewards of starting and operating a business” The entrepreneurs of today are literally bringing the world back into consciousness through their ability to recognize, act on and create from the available opportunities that seem invisible to the rest of us. Their desirable list of qualities, talents and capabilities are endless and impressive. But I’m here to tell you that they ALL, are qualities, talents and capabilities that you have within you right now, that you can tap into, or that you can acquire. You may even be surprised to learn that you are using many of these things right now, or have in the past. By living my purpose, I have been gifted the opportunity to be able to guide others toward realizing their greatness each and everyday. To live their personal and professional freedom to the fullest. I get to witness my clients accomplish things they never thought possible, to risk everything to overcome obstacles that once seemed impossible, and to embrace, enjoy and share all the amazing things they’ve created and are yet to receive. Some of them have, or are starting business of their own, created from their soul purpose, and some of them are creating a life — a full life — from that same place of purpose and passion. From the surface, they seem so different. And in their journey’s they are. We all are. However they could be not be more alike one another. More alike in their devotion to themselves, and living a life that is aligned with their purpose. More alike in their determination and drive to take the necessary risks and assume full responsibility for what they create and the results they receive. More alike in their passion to make a difference, to seize the opportunities to facilitate and be apart of positive change, to create their ultimate vision of freedom. So you see, you do not have to have or even want a business of your own to be truly entrepreneurial. To be an inspiration. To make a difference. To life a full life. “Because when you choose to become the soul creator of your life, you truly are embracing and creating from your entrepreneurial mind.” © 2010 Freedom Management Inc.

I hope you’re all beginning to feel the holiday spirit and keeping warm. I think we can all agree that the spirit of giving, joy and holiday cheer is one that instantly warms your heart. But as I began to create my own to-do list, it was brought to my awareness that it’s also the time of year where many of us begin to do less of what we really want, and more of what we think we should, or have to do. We get overworked, overbooked and overwhelmed! I have to say that the majority of the tasks on my holiday to-do list, in essence, are really fun to do, but as I thought to myself and spoke with others, it seems that the belief that’s at the forefront of our minds is that if we don’t do certain things, or do them a certain way, someone, somewhere will be disappointed. It’s as though for some of us, the holiday’s have become so ‘routine’ that all the fun, adventure and magic of unlimited possibilities, and the essence of tradition were at some point, somewhere, drained out of us and forgotten. That the extent of our enjoyment on a deep level completely depends on our ability to fulfill the expectations of others. As I looked back on my own past experiences where I too become overworked, overbooked and overwhelmed, measuring the depth and quality of my personal experience on that of others, I discovered a pattern. Not a pattern of things I was doing, but what I was not doing! You see it was that deep level of joy, happiness, warmth and light that I was wanting to experience, however I never once put in place the steps, let alone asked my self the questions to create it! And so I created a series of personal success plans, the first of which I’m excited to share with you today......my “Holiday Success Plan” The true magic of the “Holiday Success Plan” and why I know it will bring you as much inner happiness and fulfillment as it has brought me is that it does not focus so much on what needs to be done, but on what you want to experience! Don't wait! Take advantage of this Free opportunity today!!
