When you invest 15 minutes of planning each morning you will increase your productivity through focus and intention. Want to really ramp up your results? Plan your day just before bed and let your unconscious mind get a jump start checking off the items on your to do list.

When you give your mind items to complete, it gets busy looking for ways to bring you what you want. Sitting in quiet contemplation will sooth the nervous energy that comes from our societies tendency toward over stimulation and help your deep desires and the most efficient path form in your conscious mind. If you want to be super productive pull out all the stops and address your projects and intentions by engaging all of your senses.

1. See what you want to create already in existence. Picture the project completed, or picture a symbol that represent the result you are seeking. You can create a physical vision board or hold a picture in your mind.

2. Hear the sounds around you after the project is complete. When launching a TeleSeminar, Workshop or Retreat, I hear the buzz of my participants and the excitement in their voices from what they have learned. What does your environment sound like once your desired result is reality?

3. Smell the aromas that surround your project once it’s complete. What season is it? Do you smell fresh picked raspberries of summer, apple pie of fall, or maybe the lilacs of early spring. Perhaps it is the scent of a conference room after a big event.

4. Taste the experience. What will you be feeding your body? Taste the water you will drink, the celebration champagne, the tea you will sip, or the gum you will chew.

5. Feel the feeling of this projects completion. Where are you, are you seated in a comfy chair? Is someone hugging you? Are you jumping in joy? Maybe you feel relief. Let your heart open up and express the joy that you will experience once the event is complete. Of all the sense feeling the experience of felling in advance is the most powerful.

This simple process will help create the experience in advance and engage your unconscious mind to get busy making it happen. Engage your senses and then craft your action steps. Remember to use your core values as a filter for action. You can read ore about defining your core values in my last post. You will evoke a powerful source to support you in choosing the best course of action. Now it’s time to get busy with the action plan. Ask powerful questions of yourself. Looking to the future for your answers. I ask myself, “What would a joyful, empowering, philanthropic entrepreneur do now?” What is our question based on who you are becoming? You will find that powerful questions based on the future combined with 5 minutes of evoking your senses will increase your clarity and help you choose the most effective steps to take to reach your projects completion.

5 Steps To Understand Your Core Values.

1. Think of times when you were feeling really joyful. Maybe the birth or a child, a wedding, or freshman year of college. Choose a time and ask yourself what value was being honored? Was it connection, integrity, freedom? Snoop around and write up to 10 words that represent what was underneath that joyful feeling.

2. Recall times when you were feeling stuck or frustrated. Explore a specific time with the goal in mind of identifying what core values underneath the situation were being dishonored. Write down 5-10 words that you think represent your value.

3. Notice throughout the day what triggers your emotions. Ask yourself what values are being honored, or dishonored. Take a few notes and compare them to the list you have written from steps 1 and 2.

4. Keep your values list in front of you. Post index cards or stickky notes around your house, in your day planner, or on your computer. Become very familiar with the words that represent your core values. Keep exploring each day to get a firm understanding of what is driving you in life.

5. When faced with a decisions run the scenario through your core value system to discover the answer. When you are aligned with your values everything is easy and feels great, when you are unaligned things get tough and everything seems hard. Here is an example to get you started. I have a very strong freedom value (most entrepreneurs do.) If I was offered a lucrative salary for to become a 9-5 employee, my freedom value would have a fit. As a result of being out of alignment with one of my core values, my relationships would suffer, my health would decrease, my physical environment might deteriorate, all because Im not a happy camper being a 9-5 employee. I want to go on field trips with my kids, schedule clients when my coaching is at its best and write articles from spa rooms in the mountains!

Magnetism is created by two equal and opposite poles coming together to create a powerful force field. When you embrace both your strengths and weaknesses while accepting those of others, you become more magnetic.

When you are transparent, share your vulnerabilities and focus on your strengths you become very magnetic.

Here are 4 tips to help you increase your magnetism!

1. Be present right now. Being fully present puts you in a powerful state of possibility. Your awareness is increased and you become open to opportunity. While conversing with others, be present and open with them, listen without your agenda clouding the conversation. Listening is a very attractive quality.

2. Be solution focused. When a problem is presented view it as an opportunity to be discovered. People who look for solutions rather than excuses are fun to be around and more productive than those who stop short. Flip problems into opportunities and you will be seen as innovative and supportive.

3. Be accepting of people even if your values and different. Use curiosity as a way to explore different views. We live in a dynamic world of contrast, without it we would be bored! Acceptance increases magnetism.

4. See the best in people and expect them to live up to it. Everyone has their unique strengths and talents. Look for the gifts in people and see them fulfilling their visions and dreams. Belief is the first step in creating what you want. Believing in others is a quality that people respect and admire.

Now go out in the world and shine!

When you tap into your natural talents, you may discover a very strong sense of power. Really claiming this power and using it in your business might create feelings of deeper purpose, followed by the questions, “who am I to lead?”, or “this is so big!” We have grown accustom to following other peoples models and systems, many established decades ago. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m a BIG believer in sytems and models, however when they are combined with purpose and mission, they become a force to be reckoned with.

Here are 5 questions to ask yourself so you can create authentic success:

1. Is this something that I see as the future for the world, does it contribute to my big vision? Having a big vision for the world does not mean you have to create it alone, it is the big picture you hold for yourself and future generations.

2. Is this something I can claim as my own mission, something I want to be known for? When you feel like you are making a difference in an area that you would like to leave your mark, or create a legacy, will fuel you with a sense of purpose.

3. Is this in alignment with my core values? Your core values are the essence of who you are, they are the reason you feel profound joy or deep despair and the range of emotions in between. When you make decisions in alignment with your core values system, you create a life of peace and joy.

4. Can this project be expressed in a way that aligns with my peronality type. Your personality type is how you express yourself in the world. If you are an “Enthusiust” it is important to be out with people, if you are an “Investigator” you want facts, figures and information. An Enthusiast who is an accountant, might not be very happy, unless they find a creative way to inspire and motivate people.

5. Combine your mission, values and personality and you will have the foundation for your authentic success.

Do you realize the power that you have within you every moment? Quantum physicists state “Everything is energy”.  Scientists have proven this important fact. This means that the things we perceive to be solid, like the chair you are sitting on, or the car you drive—are actually at the quantum level, simply impulses of energy and information.

Many people do not take the time to explore their dreams and visions. When I ask people what they want, most people tell me what they don’t want, and downplay what they do want.  It’s as if their dreams are an after thought, something to be dealt with after the bills are paid and the laundry is done. Your thoughts, feelings, words, and actions are all forms of energy. What you think, feel, say, and do in each moment comes back to you to create your unique reality.

The impact of higher energies on lower energies can be measured. Higher vibrations consume and transform lower ones. They have a more powerful vibration than the lower energies. Every thought you have creates energy that will either strengthen or weaken you. When you eliminate the thoughts that weaken you, and focus on the thoughts that strengthen you, your world will change. 

The higher your energy, the more capable you are to transform lower energies. High-energy people have an immediate impact on everything and everyone around them.

You and I have both experienced an energetic shift when someone walks in the room. Do you notice that vivacious and happy people raise your energy? What do you observe about negative, complaining types? You know them. They are energy drainers. They walk in the room and you feel heavy and tired.  The same is true inside of you, when you allow high-energy thoughts into your awareness you impact your experience for the better. You raise your vibration. When you allow negative thoughts to become your focus, you lose energy. You lower your vibration. Become aware of your energy level and the level of your thoughts. Raise your vibration and increase your ability to create what you desire.

Because your thoughts, feelings, words, and actions create the world around you, within you exists the power to live a life of peace, harmony, and abundance. In order to do this it is essential that you learn to control your thoughts and emotions.

Our universe is a very orderly system. It is operating within a specific and defined set of rules or Laws. These Laws govern you, as part of this system.

When you learn to observe and work with these Laws you will understand the creative process and become a master at directing your life. Seven Universal Laws To Accelerate Your Success will explain seven of the Laws and help you apply their use into your life immediately. Once you work with each law individually you will notice that there is a beautiful dance occurring among them and you will begin to use all seven as one. Click here to get your free copy.

2. Now that your time slots are scheduled, it’s time to fill them with clients! Get crystal clear about whom your IDEAL client is. If you need assistance with this exercise you may consider joining the Business Breakthrough! Boot Camp and working through the Ideal Client Exercise. Knowing exactly WHO you want in your business is equally as important as understanding WHEN you will be providing your services. Once you are clear, it’s time to get into action.

3. Make a list of everyone you already know who could get incredible value from your services. As you jot down the name of your potential clients make a note of the benefits they would receive by choosing to work with you. Make sure you list benefits and not features. Benefits are tangible results such as make $10k a month, improve your health, or relieve pain. Features are the tools you use to accomplish the results. Make your list as long as possible, when you hit a lull just ask yourself for one more name, most often in a very short period of time you will come up with another 5 or 6 people.

4. Get on the phone and offer your services to them. Yup! Give them a call! Invite them to experience your work in a complementary session designed to help the two of you determine if your services would be a great fit for them. This is not about you giving away free services! This is a complementary session to see if you can help them! Book your sessions in the scheduled time you allotted for clients in step one.

5. At the beginning of your session let your prospect know that at the end of our time together if you both feel that you are a good fit to work together you will invite them to be your client. Ask them if this is okay. You want to elicit their permission to be invited to purchase your services.  Once your session is complete if you indeed do feel they are a good fit, ask them if they are ready to be your client. When they say “yes” schedule them right away. Give them 2 time options, and tell them what they can expect. Immediately send them a confirmation at minimum, a packet of info is better.
Whenever you want a boost in your one-on-one client sessions use this system to jump start your business.

Remember this is about you providing great services to people who need them. Keep your ego and personality in check. This is not about you making money (although you will!) It is about you helping your ideal clients get what they want.
