Whether you’re single, married or dating - no matter what the status of you’re relationship, no doubt the tool of Visualizing will change your life - it has mine. Over, and over, and over again (it works wonders when I’m in an argument with my love). Visualizing is one of the most powerful ...
Femininity is freedom and any woman who truly understands the fundamental importance of maintaining their feminine core, if their core is more feminine, will understand exactly what that means. It means that being rigid and structured to such a high level can degrade a woman’s personal well-being. She needs to be free to express herself, to love freely, and to wish the best for herself and for others.

As we move from the shortest day of the year to days getting longer, we move into the holiday season. Winter, though a time of reflection, moves into high gear with a lot of moving parts, people coming and going — and often times, a lot of stress. It’s an odd sort of conflict because energetically, the earth wants us to stay quiet, but our holidays want us to move around. We vacation, travel to parents and grandparents, dinner parties and events. It can be exhausting, though fun and exhilarating.
Success is indeed a choice! And Failure is too! Success is yours if You decide that is what you want! Below you will find 25 valuable Tips to help you get there: 1. “Whatever choice you make in life, you will reap the benefits”. Paulet Biedermann 2. “We are prone to judge success by the index of our salaries or the size of our automobiles rather than by the quality of our service and relationship to mankind.” Martin L. King. 3. For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
The 4 No's of being a No Pro
We’re Tired of Choosing! Today’s woman doesn’t want to choose anymore. Between work and home and personal life and career. She’s had it with the balancing act. Heresy, right? But why is it that men don’t really have to choose and that we women, after a half-century of social progress, still obsess over whether we can be happy? (And why is it we sometimes tell everyone we’re happy when we know we’re really not? But more on that in future blogs….)
The Ambition Stagnator and Dream Killer: Procrastination “The greatest barrier to success is fear itself” Sven Goran Erickssonr Excerpt from Paulet Biedermann’s book, “Your Best You”r
The illness or loss of a parent is one of the true tests of our dignity, our sense of self. On every European trip, my first stop was to see my father. We had always been very close. This time, we spent two days together before I left for Munich to continue with my trip before heading to Milan for a conference I was attending.r
Okay, now that I have your attention, let me say that a 5 minute orgasm is never a goal you should have in your mind. A big N-O on the outcome oriented orgasms. When you have expectations of any kind about what will happen during a sexual connection, you set yourself up for disappointment. This is part of the reason ...
What is your spiritual relationship with money? There’s a good chance it has a somewhat sordid tinge to it. Most of us are a bit ashamed to talk about how we really feel about it. We’d rather talk about details of our sexual intimacies, than our real relationship with money. Our deep, intimate relationship with money is really just like any other relationship. And, it is Spiritual.
<img src="http://www.withhealthcomeswealth.com/media/2011/12/optimism_balls.jpg"> It has been a tough year for almost everyone, but doesn’t if feel as if things are moving forward again? The financial markets are recovering, housing prices are stabilizing and now we would like nothing better than getting back to conducting business as usual.
Sometimes, life smiles on you. It’s the kind of thing that nourishes hope. And then, life turns. And, well – you deal with it. Upon my return from Germany and settling the affairs of my late father, I retained a lawyer—with more money I did not have—to fight the eviction notice I’d received while I was abroad. I found a bankruptcy attorney and prepared myself to let it all go. Even though I had just negotiated a huge deal with Getty Images, the largest such distributor in the world, I realized that I might not make it to see my business turn a profit.
Surprisingly, luck is not a matter of chance! It has been scientifically proven that we create our own luck—good or bad—and that we can change our luck, too! Last Saturday I took part in a local Toronto conference entitled Discover Your Personal Branding. I was offered a free pass, and I have to admit that initially I was reluctant to accept it. For one, I am choosy about how I spend my free time in our all-to-short summers—even though that day turned out to be cool and grey
These success quotes have inspired and motivated me to keep going at one time or another in my dance (in my life and business journey) as they challenge my thinking, open up new perspectives or remind me of who I really am, what I’m capable of, and what’s important to me. I hope they can do the same for you! Quote 1 You cannot change your destination ove ight, but you can change your direction ove ight. Jim Rohn Quote 2 Abundance is not something we acquire. It’s something we tune into. Wayne Dyer Quote 3 If you’re too busy to enjoy life, you’re too busy. Jeff Davidson
Isn’t it the truth that we have these great ideas but somehow they get lost in the shuffle? As time goes by, these great ideas wane from our consciousness and soon they are forgotten. But let’s look a little deeper into how you can actualize those ideas. The Nike slogan “Just Do It” sums it up for most of us. Don’t you wish you could just do that all the time? Why is it that we tend to postpone our goals and get sidetracked? How good is your brilliant idea if you can’t just do it?
It’s easy to find people who will critique your business and tell you how to run it. But no one actually explains the hard part: how to make money. I know many women entrepreneurs who, like me, tend to focus on the creative side of business, with a thousand new ideas racing in our brains, but we don’t want to always deal with routine tasks like accounting. But if you can focus on what aspect of your business makes you the most money right now, you’ll have CASH in the bank. With that comes the freedom to experiment, to grow your business in new directions and take it to the next level.
For the past few years, my personal mission has been to present my most authentic self to world each and every day. My authentic self is my most creative self, and yet, seemingly in contradiction to my mission, I chose a career in hospitality as an operations manager. After 25 years, I am now committed to the life of an entrepreneur, creating a business and life I love and helping others to do the same.
Set a time limit for when you will put a stop to negative thoughts and allow yourself to flourish again. By Beate Chelette You will find that I like acronyms and tools. It’s easier to remember something if we can build a bridge in our minds. We are talking about K.A.R.L. which stands for Know, Accept, Relax, Live.

Working moms are pushing themselves harder than ever to be the best in all realms of their life, aiming for perfection in all that they do, taking on the brunt of the familial responsibilities, while not accepting help OR seeking reprieve. They are like a hamster caught in a wheel, going round and round and getting nowhere fast. This pace is absolutely exhausting and unrealistic to maintain for the long-term. There is likely a breakdown lurking right around the corner.
What Are You Willing to Do? Let’s face it, running a successful business takes effort and a lot of hard work (although probably no more than running an unsuccessful business or hobby!) Running a home and a career also takes effort. And I know that many of you are willing to work hard to make a success of your business, your career and your life. But here’s what I see and hear on a regular basis
How I Met the Wizard of Oz! Before I joined the Empower Network, I had lost all confidence in myself. The reason why? Life had rained down on me extremely hard and in the process, like the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz, my brain became rusty and simply stopped working! I stopped being able to figure things out. I'm telling you that I became mentally crippled!
There's a moment when negative thoughts arise in your head, unbidden. In that moment, you need to decide how you are going to think about a given situation or person. You know what I'm talking about. It's that moment where you feel the urge to indulge in a negative thought or say a negative comment, just as you would to scratch an itchy scab. You don't really want to go there, but it feels kind of good to indulge that kind of thinking.
Follow your bliss, and doors will open where there were no doors before. ~ Joseph Campbell Timing is everything. It just helps to know where you are at what time – and many of us don’t. That’s where the problem lies. When I began to conceptualize the idea of what I now call ego-RHYTHM™ I was driven by one thought: I had grown tired of waiting for things to be great.
Hi There, I'm Meg, Coach at Your Amazing Life. I want to share a story with you about my "time out" lesson as a parent. And guess what, parents really do need a timeout too! Here's my story.
We all have our own stories. Have you ever heard yourself tell your personal story to someone else, almost as if you were talking about another person, like it was a script? You might have felt disconnected with the story (because you’ve told it so many times that even you’re bored with it). Or, you might tell it with a lot of emotion, feeling over and over again how you were abandoned as a child. Then it hurts again, right? Guess what...here’s a little tough love: It doesn’t have to.
"Gossip," as defined by Wikipedia, is idle talk or rumor, especially about the personal or private affairs of others. It derives from the bedroom at the time of childbirth when the pregnant female's relatives and neighbors (an all female event) would gather and chatter about others outside the birthing room. The term ...
Have you ever caught yourself doing something that doesn’t really work, but then you still do it over and over again? I know I have. In our personal and business lives we sometimes find ourselves stuck with ineffective habits—even when we know better. Other times we just do things because we have always done them that way and we don’t think about whether what we do works or not.
It’s that time of year again. Spring is in the air and it’s time for your annual “spring cleaning.” It’s time to go through that junk drawer. You know which one I’m talking about-the drawer that you put everything that you’re not sure if you’re going to use it again, but you don’t want to throw it away-just in case. The one with the old twist ties, that single battery or those miscellaneous keys that surely go to something – you see where I’m going with this. If your junk drawer is like mine, you probably could dump the whole drawer in the garbage and not even miss anything in it.

The technology industry is majorly male-dominated, but there are some women that are making giant strides in the industry. These women have proven that they have what it takes to go head to head in a competitive industry and make innovative changes. They head teams, and they are disrupting the tech industry and doing what many people think a woman canât do. Without further ado, here are the top six women in technology in Africa. 1.

Do you ever feel lost not knowing what it will take for you to become happy? It can happen suddenly, the realization that you have lost your joy. As women we seem to be busy with our lives, working, running errands, taking care of the family and then we wake up one morning and notice we aren't happy. It can feel like someone just suddenly hit the brakes in the car and we are slammed forward taking our breathe away. Or at least this is what it felt like for me.

Self-care is a critical part of living a fulfilled and happy life as a working mom! Unfortunately, however, most working moms often put everyone and everything else before their own needs and allow themselves to fall last on the list of priorities. In order for career-minded mama’s to successfully handle life's trials and tribulations, while being available and present to those they love, it is imperative that they make time for self-care. There is a reason that flight attendants state the following prior to take-off, “In case of a loss in air cabin pressure an oxygen mask will appear.
Success Is Your Right, Claim It! By: Paulet Biedermannr
By Beate Chelette The recent Atlantic cover story on whether or not women can “have it all” has certainly hit a national nerve. The week after the article came out it had received more than 1.1 million online views. Women and men all around the country are registering their objection or approval of author, mother of two and former State Department official Anne-Marie Slaughter’s premise that the 70s feminist mantra of “having it all” is, in reality, not so easy—and maybe not even possible unless women push for changes in society.
If you are some who looks back on their past with amazingly fond memories and never experienced any regret, shame, or sadness regarding choices you've made, then this article is so not for you. This article is for the rest of us. The ones who are either trying vigorously to forget the past ever happened, or those that are harboring so much pain regarding the past that it feels close to unbearable.

by Michelle Collier | on February 5, 2013 How in the world did I get to the point that I stopped believing in myself? Did it begin when I hit a brick wall on my job? I remember spending the last day on my job sitting at the welfare office crying because the welfare worker told me I made $200 over the maximum income amount to qualify for Foodstamps. I remember crying to my supervisor because I was too messed up to get back to work that day. I remember feeling so overwhelmed because I came face to face that I was not able to literally put food on the table for my daughter.

We've all heard of the importance of positive thinking, affirmations, visualizations, and having dreams. But often these goals feel somehow so amorphous, that sometimes it feels a little like"hoo ha", doesn't it? Here's the key: if you make it just a mental exercise, it is ineffective. It's not hoo ha, it just doesn't work as powerfully as when you go beyond the mental.
How often have you wondered why someone came into your life? How about a negative situation or predicament that had developed? What's trust got to do with it? A good friend of mine explored the former conundrum with me a few years ago. We became fast friends, being open and transparent with one another, in which immediate trust was placed at the forefront of our relationship. During this exploration it was concluded that we needed each other in a capacity unbeknownst and undisclosed to either of us at the time.
This equation is actually really simple, yet many of us persist in making it complicated. ‘We only change when the cost of changing is less than the cost of staying where we are.’ Now this makes perfect sense at an intellectual level, but at an emotional level we just don’t seem to get it. We play tricks on ourselves. We deny or ignore the current costs by telling ourselves ‘it’s really not that bad,’ ‘other people have it much worse than me’ or ‘it’s not really costing me much.’
I believe we are here on this Earth to connect—no one is intended to “go it alone”. Energy flows in, around and throw all things, including all people. To fully engage the positive forces of that energy, you have to become a part of the flow. The only way to do that is to connect to other people. I am certain that it took me many years longer than might have been as I stumbled along on my jou ey because I was so sure that I had to go it alone. Once I realized that I needed support to thrive, and I allowed those around me to help, I began to achieve things I never thought I could.

According to Dictionary.com, fear is defined as “a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.” Fear can mean that you are about to experience a painful emotional experience. Both the fear of failure and the fear of success create an apprehension that something bad is going to happen. The fear of failure is the anxiety you feel while anticipating not making your goal, but the fear of success is a different type of fear.
Most people we get to know in our business and personal lives aren’t meant to travelrnthe whole road with us. We forget that sometimes, especially when there’s been a goodrnconnection, yet endings and new beginnings are the natural flow of life.

Imagine the following scenario, if you will. One hour after you arrive at work, your phone rings. The Caller ID reads, “YOUR CHILD’S DAYCARE/SCHOOL”. You already know what this means…your child has a temperature, is sick, and needs to be picked up ASAP. You have back-to-back meetings and conference calls all afte oon. You try to reach your husband to see if he can pick up your child; however, you just remember that he is tied up in an all-day workshop for work. Alas, you are forced to cancel your work obligations for the third time this month.
Horses have long been admired for their compassionate free spirit, being honored as a connection to the power and strength in oneself. One gaze into their eyes and we not only feel their wisdom, we see sometimes for the first time, our own Soul looking back at us. What we see may bring us joy and equally it can bring us face to face with our own darkness. Either way, the horses hold powerful keys to long-held wisdom of the enduring human spirit and the comfort of knowing who we are.
Phase I: Facing Judgment and Creating Awareness You've heard the phrase, "be here now." While it has become quite over-used and sadly, cliche'd, it does have enormous value. Be here now is more than just being present - which I've talked about before. Being present in this moment creates the future you desire - as opposed to obsessing about the past or worrying about the future.

You are always at choice. Even in the way you feel. No matter what happens to you, you can adjust the way you feel about it. Even if it's something you wish did not happen, and "negatively" effects you, you always have the choice to look at the event in another light.
Gratitude is many things to many people. It is wonder; it is appreciation; it is looking at the bright side of things; it is abundance; it is thanking someone; it is “counting blessings.” It is savoring; it is not taking things for granted; it is present-oriented. The average person often associates gratitude with saying thank you for something they received or a kind gesture. However, gratitude is much broader. I invite you to consider its numerous benefits and how you can regularly incorporate the practice of gratitude in your life.
Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you have chosen it.rn~ Eckhart Tolle
The period of time betwee Thanksgiving and New Year's Day is always magical. Even during the most stressful times, we somehow manage to see joy in simple pleasures during this time of year. So the question becomes, how can we stretch the magic of the season, that special joy we feel, into our every day lives? Why is it that we allow that warm glow of the holiday spirit to subside as the days go by? Is it really as simple as we just stop focusing on creating memorable experiences? Do we just forget to make finding moments of joy a priority in our lives?
Excuses can be sneaky. Sometimes, even when you’re in the process of using one, you know it’s just an excuse. Sometimes, though, you deeply believe them and let them run the show. For example, let’s say you’re planning to exercise. “But I’m so tired tonight,” you say. “I’ll rest up tonight and exercise tomorrow.” Is this because tomorrow night you won’t be tired? Or because right now it’s easier to just say you’re tired and not exercise? Imagine that one of your goals is get
Have you ever noticed that some people make friends super easily; however, they don’t do much to keep the relationship going? Our girlfriends are a wellspring of support. You need them and they need you. However, if you are like most working moms the demands of life can creep up on you, and before you know it, your friends get shoved off the calendar. With motherhood, there are always a million things to do, minor emergencies to tend to, and challenges to face. It’s not always easy to find the energy or the time to invest in friends.
Having a family nowadays requires a lot of planning, physically, emotionally, and financially. You start out with your spouse, and just after a while, another family member is now coming in your midst. Having your first baby is an exciting, and sometimes, a nerve-wracking phase in your life. You may have the impulse to rake in everything, from toys to boxes of clothes, for your child. But hold your horses. You may be spending on unnecessary things at this point. Before spendi
Here’s a quick and easy quiz, based on my own experiences of leading – myself, my family, team members and others, as well as working with hundreds of other business leaders and managers over recent years. Leadership is particularly appropriate in the current climate, when so many people are actually abdicating responsibility for themselves and many political and business leaders are not trusted!
In previous articles I explored passion and leadership. I want to continue this theme today to answer the questions I received from some of you who are struggling in this area and from some who find that passion is something that you display some but not most of the time. As you read through these tips, pick 1 or 2 that appeal most and start to implement them.
When I look back at all the criticism and self inflicted guilt I put myself through when I had my first child at tender eighteen, all I could do is laugh and be grateful for those moments. Over the years of steep hills and unknown roads, I have discovered that one on my noblest missions in life was just that; to be a mother. I will never have all the right answers but I do have four wonderful grown up kids who are a faithful testimony of my own growing process as a mother, woman, and a better spiritual being. My children have taught me many lessons, not all have come to me the easy way.

Problems sometimes turn out to be unexpected gifts, so look for them. By Beate Chelette Can’t all this move faster, I asked my herbalist the other day as I sat impatiently on the treatment table?

As a success coach I often get asked variations on the theme Is there a recipe for success? Are there sure-fire strategies to get me there? Are there certain steps that will guarantee my success? A simple key? And my answer to all of these is yes – there most certainly are. However knowing the right ones for you can often be difficult! Because when you do what everyone else does, when you look at what appears to work for a particular expert or business and operate on the assumption that it will automatically work for you too, then you can be left sorely disappointed.
There are many reasons why at some points in your life you feel sad, depressed, faithless, and trapped. Most of these situations are self-created. Most of these feelings are self-inflicted. Do you remember that first scary ride on your brand new bike? How many times did you fall? How many bruises witnessed your uncountable tries? What did you do then? You got back up, grabbed the wheel, and kept trying until one bright morning you became the master. Where is the spirit of that child now?
