ARTArticleWhy You Don't Need a Life CoachI’ve been in the personal development business for nearly sixteen years and, to be quite honest, a get a little fed up when I see people, who are all over the place themselves, suddenly proclaiming themselves to be a life coach because they did a weekend course or get some online accreditation. Life coaching is a serious business. The life coach is in a position to play with people’s minds – and some of them do just that with terrible consequences. People ‘follow their heart’ – a phrase that I’ve heard more than once – or people ‘go with the flow’ – another choice phrase.ARTArticleWhy You Must Market Your Beauty/Fashion Biz Now!Girls (And Boys for that matter) that want to have fun in their business, Market, Market, Market... What's the point of having your business if you're not having fun??? If you’re not having fun in your Beauty/Fashion Business it’s probably because you’re not promoting yourself.ARTArticleWhy YOU need to be like Elizabeth TaylorAs the world mou
s the death of a Hollywood legend, I recall vividly the night I met the man with the striking violet eyes. I was totally and completely mesmerized…ARTArticleWillpower is Not Enough to Beat Self SabotageIn 2003 Sandra started thinking it was time for her to leave her long-time corporate career and go out on her own.
She diligently used her willpower and spent many evenings putting together a Plan of Action, building lists of products to create, and making lists of things to include on her website.
So she worked, and she worked, and she worked to bring her dream to life... and suddenly it was 2011 and she was still in her corporate job, still aching to be out on her own.ARTArticleWomen in Business: Secrets Revealed from the Soul of MoneyWomen-owned businesses have been the fastest growing segment of new start-up entrepreneurial endeavors. I’m glad to see this, as I’ve been a professional and an entrepreneur for many (yes, many) years now.
I have found being an entrepreneur takes a special kind of courage, and it can be an amazing platform to grow one up spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. I can tell you story after story of the types of personal growth and expansion experiences that I’ve undergone that would not have presented themselves as dramatically if I had only stayed in the world of the job market.ARTArticleWomen in Business: Your Brain is Essentially a Computer – Know How to Operate It?Women entrepreneurs are a rapidly growing demographic, yet the key is not to simply start a business but to also be successful at it. I owned and operated a very successful medical and surgical practice before selling it to now share insights into business and life that I’ve applied personally by integrating cutting edge science with ancient wisdom principles.ARTArticleYou Are All I SeeYou are my heart, you are my soul. I want you with; as I grow old. You’re mean to me, but you are all I see. You will call and say you’ll be late, that’s ok, I’ll sit and wait. It’s ok, you are all I see. Don’t call me, I’ll call you, is what you say to me. I don’t understand, we were meant to be. You are all I see. You get mad and yell at me. My love for you is so strong; can’t you see? You are all I see. I don’t make plans, I wait to see what you have planned for me. You are all I see. I go to the bathroom to dry my tears. Look, there in the mirror…you are all I see.ARTArticleYou Have a Multi-Dimensional Life PurposeCommonly people think that their life purpose means ‘something they are here to do.’ This is often a very nebulous and frustrating proposition for people because they don’t ‘know where to find their purpose’ or ‘how to know they’ve their life purpose.’ What happens if you have a life purpose that is bigger than you are and dimensional in nature?
Definition of What a ‘Life Purpose’ IsARTArticleYou Need to Get in Touch with Reality!For the vast majority of our adult lives, we live in a world of make-believe. However, as most of us know, it’s no fairy story – most normal lives are a mundane up and down affair that never really goes anywhere – more like a second-rate soap opera. However, in stark contrast to our personal make-believe, reality does really exist. It’s wonderful, it’s the world of opportunity, the world of happiness and peace of mind – and it’s right before your very eyes.ARTArticleYou Will Never Live Your Best Life if You’re Not Mentally FitHow are you going to be up to the not-too-onerous task of getting the very best out of life if you are mentally unfit? Unfortunately, many years of research confirms that the normal mind is not just unfit for effortless living, it has been living on a diet of clapped-out old movies (from your childhood) all of your adult life. It’s the ultimate couch potato. And, if, for all of your adult life, you had sat like a lazy slob on a couch, would you really expect to be able to spring from your couch, put on your trainers and go out for even a light jog?ARTArticleYou’re Studying the Law of Attraction, But Are You Open to Receiving the Abundance You Attract?You work so hard to create a life of abundance, so I want to ask you to consider very carefully, “Do you have what it takes to easily allow the abundance you desire to flow into your life?”
Most people only let in a mere pittance of the abundance that continues to knock at their door.ARTArticleYou've Read the Self Help Books... But You're Still Not HappyYou’re one of those people who want to, to quote Oprah, live your best life. So, you’ve read the books – you know the ones, those feel-good self-help books. And you felt good while you were reading them. But your life has gone on much as it did before – with the normal stress and worry of everyday life – and, instead of feeling good, you don’t even feel bad – you feel worse! Because you’ve explored, you’ve read about it, you know that it works for others (or maybe all those self-help authors are just making it up!) and you’ve discovered that it hasn’t worked for you.ARTArticleYour History- Your DestinySo many of us get caught up in the past: past issues, past relationships, past mistakes, etc... We tend to give away our thoughts and energy of today to days and events that no longer exist. An unfortunate reality of this type of thinking is that we tend to lose sight of our true power and purpose. And we lose sight of the truth that we are free to change – to refine, improve, or enhance ourselves at any moment.
The value of a moment is immeasurable. The power of just ONE moment can propel you to success and happiness or chain you to failure and misery.ARTArticleYour Life Will Never Change If You Keep On Doing the Same Thing!I’ve been running my Personal Development Workshops for the last fifteen years and, during that time, I’ve met plenty of people who, for one reason or another, wanted to change their life. I’ve all sorts of reasons – from the proverbial midlife crisis to the career crossroads, from low self esteem to fear of public speaking, from wanting to learn the art of true leadership to simply wanting to be happy – I’ve seen it all. And, the bizarre thing is, that I keep seeing the same thing!ARTArticleYour Niche is Bigger Than You ThinkThe word “niche” evokes visions of some guy only collecting comic books that have monkeys in them, or a blogger who only writes about staplers, or an online store that only sells crackers made in Colorado. Artists and entrepreneurs seem to think the word “niche” is synonymous with small, or tiny. A more accurate definition would be highly targeted, focused, and clearly defined market. Although the definition tends to make artists and entrepreneurs gravitate toward something small, a niche audience is actually much bigger than what most people think.ARTArticleYour thoughts can set you Free !Mavis was a beautiful young woman, but she was in prison !
I worked with this capable and promising young woman for many years. Unfortunately, unde
eath all that beauty lurked a sad secret. She had a “habit of thought” that she was worthless. That she would not and could not be successful. That she would not and could not ever be loved. That she was not worthy of anyone’s admiration and respect.ARTArticle2010-2011: The Star Is Opening2010 has been a rather challenging year for many if not all of us. 2011 gives us a light at the end of the tunnel, there are rumours of it being gentler on the soul and the spirit. I see 2010 as The Tower in the Tarot, The Tower tears away all our senses of security and forces us to face our fears completely, however it comes after the Devil, which is a place of being stuck in unconciousness, so you can also see the lightening striking deep into the Tower and blowing it apart as the strike of enlightenment and the beginning of freedom.ARTArticle2011: 3 Steps to Be Accountable to Your ExcellenceTruth is, you already are accountable. You are the ultimate creator of all that you do, all that you experience. While you may not have created certain events in your life, you are the generative force behind what you have that experience mean for you. Have to allowed yourself to become the victim of circumstance? Or have you spent your moments examining, learning and rising above?
Either way, hold yourself accountable. Without judgment. You were doing the best you can with the light you had to see. Today, we're going add a little more light to expand your view.ARTArticle3 Key Questions To Determine If Your Opinions Are Harmful To Your HealthStaying healthy is more important than ever considering the rising rates of cancer and chronic disease in our world - not to mention the expense of healthcare and the emotional fallout. While I personally have healthy nutrition habits and exercise regularly, I do very little specific teaching on what supplements to take or what exercise routine one should be on.
I tend to come from the core of what makes us stay healthy or get sick - mindset. Yes, even disease is related to how you think and feel. In fact, it can make or break you and holistic/integrative physicians already get this.ARTArticle3 Key Reasons Why Self-Love Is Not Narcissism And Why Should You CareConfidence is a key element to empowerment. If you can't speak up, take risks or all too often buckle under the opinions of others, your gifts and talents will likely never reach authentic expression. Let me say that confidence from the core, authentic self is what I am referring to.ARTArticleA Better Relationship in a WeekA Better Relationship in a Weekr

Here is a very practical and easy way to have a better relationship in just one enjoyable week. Carry out the seven following suggestions Monday through Sunday next week and watch your relationship satisfaction thermometer rise above your expectations (Helpful hint: Holiday time is great for getting in the mood and having it stick around afterwards).
MondayARTArticleA Business Book for Everyone, EverywhereIn an era where jobs are frequently disrupted by wars, natural disasters, mergers, and a rapidly evolving marketplace, many workers have come to realize that the only job security they have is what they can create for themselves. "Using AI to Make Your Own Job Anytime, Anywhere, At Any Age" uniquely explains in 175 pages how to derive an original job idea, test the concept, and then goes step-by-step on how to start their own businesses in the U.S. The book concludes with a chapter on how to write a book if your product is knowledge, rather than a physical object.ARTArticleA Moment in TimeTime is such an odd subject to talk about. We’re either trying to speed it up, slow it down, or just plain stop it. Sometimes it could be that fraction of a micro second between life and death, or hope and despair. Let’s look at the phrase “Time awaits no one.” You can actually sum up this whole blog on that true statement. Of course time awaits no one, time doesn’t stand still. With that being said, let’s further look into the reason we want time to stop. We want to treasure that moment, for a few more…moments, hours, days…forever.ARTArticleA Reason, Season, or a Lifetime“People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.”
I think most of us have heard that poem before. It’s a very touching and pointed piece which speaks of the heart of life. We all have experienced this with others or perhaps we have been one of these for another. Probably both, especially if we are actively engaged in living our lives.
How does this pertain to our jou
eys of personal awareness and growth? Understanding may assist us in moving forward without fear of losing someone we have met along the way.

Researchers in the United States, Finland and Sweden found that loneliness ranks right up there with smoking as a health hazard and that people with strong social support networks are half as likely to die prematurely as those without. Overcoming loneliness can be an important goal indeed.ARTArticleAchieving Your GoalsHave you ever spent the day just running errands, picking up kids, making sure dinner is prepared, and getting little jr. to his baseball game? At the end of the day as you’re finally sitting down relaxing, have you wondered where the day went to? We as women try to squeeze in everything into one moment, one hour, and one day. There could never possibly be enough time to get done what needs to get done. And what about help? Well, most of us either do not have any, or not enough. Yes, we are the queens of multi-tasking! What an accomplishment! Ok, let’s fast forward our lives.ARTArticleAcross The GlobeFrom across the distant lands, and to the distant seas, you don’t know me, but I wish you peace.

atives to six percent commissionRecently the State of Colorado made some rulings that will most likely do away with the FSBO Flat Fee entry only MLS listing services. Other states may follow suit.
This appears to be an attempt to return to the old rigid six percent MLS listing model, a more traditional approach, where the six percent is usually divided with three percent going to the Listing Broker and three percent to the Buyer Broker.
Flat Fee Services offers the seller tremendous savings and come in a variety of packages.
