18 days later….How are those New Years Resolutions going?
2010 is going to be an amazing year. Not only have I clarified everything I want in each area of my life for this new year, but I also have action plans, support, structure, & enough motivation wrapped around each of my individual goals. Because I’m in my 21st year of using a LifeVision, I [...]
Boss of Myself by guest blogger-Wendy Benson
“The greatest thing in the world is not so much where we stand, but in which direction we are going”. As I pondered this statement, I wondered…what direction am I going? Am I stepping towards my goals every day through my thoughts, feelings, and actions?How did I ever get to that dark and dreary point 3 years ago? Then it dawned on me…it happened just one step at a time! It doesn’t happen overnight.
Annual Review of your Ideal LifeVision
Taking the time to pause, reflect & celebrate are a natural part of this season….so apply the reflective attitude to your LifeVision process as well. Just this morning, I went over the 9 versions of my 2009 LifeVision. (No, I’m not kidding!) No doubt a few disappointments among the literally hundreds of things I “intended” to happen in 2009. But they didn’t faze me at all because of the list of accomplishments that outweighed the goals “whose time has not yet come”.
Freedom FastTrack -Soul Purpose & Financial Foundation
This is probably the BEST THING I DID IN 2009. Find out more by reading this article. It might change your life!! The program, called Freedom FastTrack (A company owned by Garrett Gunderson) has all the right elements. It’s a practical system that combines tools, mentoring, & accountability with the proper education. Their foundational philosophy is based on the concept of Soul Purpose, a term describing an individual’s unique set of talents, strengths, passions, interests, attitudes & values.
Leaving Your Comfort Zone – Book Review
Recently, I finished Rene Johnson’s book “Leaving Your Comfort Zone” subtitled “How to lead your life from the Power Zone!”. Rene is a good friend and fellow coach and I appreciate her desire to empower women to be more of who they already are. We have a lot in common….The first chapter in her book is entitled “Design Your Vision of Success”. Rene is another gal I decided to do an exchange of services with. She has a coaching program called “Fast Track – Your Way to Success” that includes taking one of the principles from her book and focusing on it during a couple of coaching sessions. I am having Rene help me power-up a keynote that I am giving in January. She’s helping me fine-tune content as well as give me pointers on presentation. As an experienced and powerful speaker, she knows what she’s talking
Ropes Course
A Ropes Course is typically an all-day activity that teaches skills through experiences. The basic goal of the course is to increase the participant’s level of self-confidence as they explore risk, leadership, communication, problem solving & coaching. As a person deals with the success, failures, & disappointments…..self-esteem and personal growth begin to develop.
The second primary goal is to help the participants learn to function meaningfully and productively as a team. Speed and individual excellence is not the goal.
Raw Food – A new adventure!
I experimented with something quite fun today – I hired a raw foodist (is that a word? a raw foodie? a raw nutritionist?) to spend the afternoon with me cooking up (uhh, it’s just a “term”) all sorts of interesting concoctions. Linda Gregersen, a new friend that I met at Biz Divas several months ago is an EXPERT at making this on-the-edge lifestyle seem really easy. In a matter of 2 hours we came up with all sorts of yummy things.Linda understands that this is something most people have to “ease into”. Going from a typical western diet to completely RAW without some sort of transition would be a little insane if you ask me.
My Guest Appearance on Producer Power Hour with Garrett Gunderson
Garrett & I became acquainted earlier this year when I became a client of Freedom Fast Track, a company that he owns. In addition, several of his team members became clients of mine and attended my Ideal LifeVision workshop. This brought me into his office frequently where eventually we became friends as we discovered we have a lot in common. My husband has also been behind the production of many of the events that Garrett speaks at and it’s always a pleasure to run into him across the country as he’s presenting his fabulous keynotes.
