The New You, in the New Year - Will I Ever Lose the Belly Fat, Attract the Right Man Or Wealth?

I'm sure you have been hearing about losing weight, and sticking to your New Year's resolutions but let me ask you, where are you right now?

Are you still feeling stuck and not sure what to do. On one hand you have the desire, and the other you have your mind pulling you in another direction that is away from your goals.

Imagine having all the tools that you needed to achieve not only the body you wanted like a flat stomach, lean legs, and firm glutes but imagine having an incredible relationship, money,and a sense of feeling good about yourself.

Why is it that so many women do not have the body of their dreams and are not living their life with passion and purpose?

It's because you have spent too much time looking for the next quick fix diet or temporary solution to a lifetime of decisions.

You need to look within yourself to get what you want on the outside. No diet, no get rich quick scheme will do that for you. It is when you work on your inner core, your authentic self that you discover the true potential within yourself. You may have Googled your way into a short term frenzy but the truth be known that the ultimate resources can be found within you.

You simply need to find the right combination to your mind that unlocks your true potential and giving you exactly what you want.

You can achieve anything you want whether it be six pack abs or wealth.

The formula is to know that you are capable and to instill a belief system within yourself that is so great, it's effortless for you to take the necessary action.

There is no such thing as hard work, it is simply putting time and effort into things that you value to get a desired outcome. If you are telling yourself it's hard, then you are not being truthful to yourself.

Ask yourself this question. What makes me different than the woman that is the same age as me that accomplished the body of her dreams, is in a fulfilled relationship, and is living an abundant life?

The answer is she chose to see the outcome that she wanted, instilled a belief system and took action. If you are unsure whether this year you will ever accomplish your goals or maybe it will happen next year then I can tell you, that you will remain where you are at.

Here's what you need to do:

First, get clear on what you want.

Second, find the right mentor, book, or support system.

Third, take action towards your goals every single day.

Wasabi Peas Have a 1000 Year Shelf-Life

Desiring a quick snack after work the other day, I grabbed a bag of Wasabi Peas and popped a handful into my mouth anticipating the little blast of Wah that comes with them. As I reached for the second handful, I happened to notice the expiration date on the bag. It read, “Best by, 093006.” My mind immediately interpreted those numbers to mean, the month September in the year 3006! And I thought, really I did, “Wow, that’s a shelf life of over 1000 years!”

It only took about 3-seconds for me to recognize the impossibility of that perception. But for those three seconds, my reality reflected the belief that wasabi peas – or at least this bag of them – could last for 1000 years. By about the 5th second I had, accurately this time I think, reinterpreted the numbers to mean September 30th, 2006.

It was a simple mistake, a trick of perception, you might say. And the expiration date of wasabi peas is obviously not a big deal. But what is important is that it got me to pay attention to the ways in which my mind interprets, and often misinterprets the world around me.
I began to wonder how often my perceptions are faulty, and how often those perceptions remain unquestioned?

Here’s another example. I was recently referred to a prospective client whom I called to chat with and set up an initial coaching session. She answered the phone and I introduced myself and told her why I was calling. When she replied, I could immediately tell that something was wrong. My mind, helpful as ever, and without any corroborating evidence, immediately concluded that she did not want to work with me as a coach, and that, in fact, she was downright distraught that I had even called her.

Fortunately, I’ve learned not to trust these assumptions of my mind, and so I jumped right in and asked her if anything was wrong. She told me that a good friend had passed away two days earlier.
I could feel my mind slinking away into the corner like a cartoon character trying to avoid being noticed after doing something really stupid.

Our minds are masters of assumption. More often than not, those assumptions are wrong. And far too often, we accept them without question. It would not have made much difference in my life if I had accepted that wasabi peas have a 1000-year shelf life. But it certainly would have affected me if I had chosen not to question my mind’s assumption about that potential client. If left unquestioned, that perception would have fed directly into my sense of self-worth, ultimately contributing to an internal devaluation.

One faulty perception will not cause great harm, but when multiple, erroneous perceptions are left unquestioned, the effect on your life can be dramatic.

Can you think of times in your life when your mind has misinterpreted a situation? Perhaps someone said something that, without clarification, could have been taken in any number of ways. Perhaps your manager made a comment that caused you to think she was disappointed in your work.

What I want you to do, for the next few days, is to question as many perceptions as possible. From the obvious to the hidden, observe and reevaluate the assumptions of your mind that too often are taken for granted.

When you see a car and perceive it as such, question it. “Is that really a car?” When you catch someone giving you a “look” and find yourself wondering, “what did I do wrong?” question the way you have perceived that look.

Some of your perceptions will true – that car probably will end up being a car – others you will recognize as obviously false, and some will require additional input, perhaps from another person. The point is not whether the perceptions are true or false. The point is to begin questioning the often-unquestioned assumptions of your mind.

Your mind can be a wonderful servant, but a pretty poor master. By questioning its perceptions and assumptions you immediately begin to shift the balance of power away from your mind and back towards your essential nature.

2010 is the Year of the Entrepreneur - Are You Ready?

Entrepreneur Magazine says 2010 will be the year of the entrepreneur because unlike a large company we are fluid and flexible and can respond quickly. We're also small and light on our feet since we use Cloud Nine technology to outsource even some of our core systems. And that frees us up to stay fluid, to monitor and respond to the changing moods and needs of our target audience. Between home offices and virtual assistants and tech people from all parts of the world, we can even start up with very little money. The trend now is for friends and family to bankroll a start up. Anything is possible. Your dream can become a reality even now. Especially now.

I hadn't thought of myself in that light before - fluid and flexible, and if I get too bogged down in where I think I should be going I may not be able to see where I could be going.

Are You Light On Your Feet?

I don't play football but I can picture us as holding tightly to the ball and dogging and darting this way and that to make our way toward our goal. We're not on the line - doggedly moving forward because we are big and bulky (no offense meant), instead we are light on our feet, responding quickly to whatever appears before us.

How fluid are you? How often do you thoughtfully examine the changes in your target community? Do you look for their new concerns? Do you think about what keeps them up at night? And do you keep adding skills and look at your talents and passion to see if you can add something to your business that will meet those needs?

Can You Rise to Any Occasion?

Are your business systems fluid? Do you have a VA and an accountant in place ready to move quickly if you need them to do more for you? Have you located a virtual team to meet the needs of new clients as well as your own? Are your own systems set up so that you can quickly add more clients or effectively promote a new telecourse or product? How have you freed yourself up so you can stay creatively tuned into the people you serve?

Is your measuring system in place so you can spot what's working and what isn't and quickly do more of what is working? Do you reevaluate your business every quarter and redirect its course if necessary?

Can You Easily Change Directions?

How flexible are you? One thing I did especially well recently is plan my direction and services for the coming year. I did a lot of thinking and analyzing and I figured out what my community will want from me and I set up some new offerings. I increased the number of courses in my Magnetic Marketing Method Mastery Program. Then I designed a schedule and blocked off time to make it happen. I even know what new information products I will produce. I'm excited about my plan and I'm a bit like a train going rapidly down the track in one direction. So what if something comes along that seems like a better idea? Will I be flexible? Will I fluidly change gears and directions to absorb or accommodate the new idea? I like to think so.

If you keep your attention on the needs of your community you will know when you need to change. When you hear them call you can answer. And if you have your systems in place you will have the time and resources to make it happen.

Are You Carrying the Ball?

If you get too caught up in the details of your business, you can't do your job - the job that says you are the idea person, the one watching the ebb and flow, the one who creates the new programs and services. As the core of your business, you have to be its heartbeat, you have to tune into its rhythm and keep all its working parts going in the same direction.

Are you set up to change directions easily? Do you have the systems in place you need to grow rapidly? More importantly do you have the mind set to respond quickly and even move toward a new goal? Think of yourself as agile, quick, decisive, fluid and flexible. Then you'll be ready to keep up with the changing needs of your community and keep your business in tune with the times. Let's make 2010 rock!
