On our way to magic, we're going to catch a glimpse of the three demons. As we do so, please notice how they interact with the three main ways we envision things. The first way we envision things is as if things have closed in around us. Second comes fighting with things, in an 'anti' pattern. Third is to force things with willpower. Willpower wins at getting things done, and often burns people out on the way. 1. Impatience. We want instant solutions. Instant fixes. Our focus and discipline are short circuited by a form of crisis called impatience.

Speaking with your whole body
This is a short article on body language, written as if you will do a presentation, and get feedback on it. Speaking with Your Whole Body Time: 5 to 7 minutes Our bodies talk all the time. 80 to 90% of our normal human communication is via our body language, and much of that is subconscious.

What if We Stopped Marketing?
I am trying to be as real with you as I can - honesty is my strong suit. A lot of marketers and coaches have been lying to you. Now, I do believe that most of them have not done it intentionally.

Don't Wait Until the Time is Right

The One Strategy That Doesn't Get Said
There are many skills it takes to grow, sustain, and build a business. Everything from marketing, mindset, and math has to be in play to make real money and a real difference. All of the education, time, and money you have put into growing your business won't much matter if you don't embody this- tenacity! Never give up. Never quit.

What are you asking for? When you go to a drive-thru (for me Starbucks - thank you! ) do you say give me what you want me to have or I'll take maybe a this or maybe a that. Nope!

Do You Like Me?
Remember when Sally Field won the Oscar and squealed, "You like me. You really like me?" Truth: Many of you are doing that in your business. Maybe it happens when you get a client; maybe at networking groups; in your Master Minds; or even in your marketing copy. You want to be liked. You need to be liked. And it is keeping you broke. I have long said I do what I do to make a difference, not to make friends and it has allowed me to be unattached to the outcomes. Martha Beck (the very wise life coach for O) says, "I love you, but I don't care what you do." Brilliant!

Money Is a Great Equalizer
You have heard me say it before, but here we go again: The more money you make the more people you can help. It's true.

The Tao of Shawshank: 12 Rules for Escaping the Rat Race
Tao is a Chinese word which, loosely translated, means "way." The letter "t" is an approximation of a Chinese sound that does not have an exact English equivalent.

Let's Stop This Rumor
There is a nasty rumor in the business world. Coaches, healers, helpers, "well, 'those people' just aren't serious about business." I hear it all the time and there are some facts to back it up. Typically, helping professions earn less, focus less on numbers, and carry more debt. According to Forbes.com: The salary of a life coach is six figures for only 10 to 20 percent of coaches. Since the median salary for life coaches in the United States is only $30,000 to $40,000 per year, it means that there are a lot of coaches who are making much less than $30,000.

What Racking Up a 6-Figure Tax Liability Taught Me About Tax Season
I’ve been an entrepreneur since I started mowing neighborhood lawns in high school. Soon after, my buddy and I launched a full-on landscaping operation with three trucks, a trailer, commercial mowers, and a staff of eight — all before graduation. Eventually, I sold that company to add more entrepreneurial ventures to my repertoire, and by my early 20s, I had earned just shy of a million bucks. By all accounts, I was a successful, profitable entrepreneur — so why, then, did I end up with a six-figure tax liability?

Opportunity costs of being scattered in business
A scattered mind produces scattered results in business. Scattered means: “occurring or distributed over widely spaced and irregular intervals in time or space” and “lacking orderly continuity” (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/scattered). If it is taking you longer than anticipated, expected or desired to build your business, then tweaking your focus may be the “next best” step for you at this time. When I saw Donald Trump “live” in person last year, I learned that “lack of focus” was the cause of his financial downfall and near catastrophic ending in the early nineties.

<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Copy-of-building-a-business-149.png" width="500"/> So, you sit there with your computer in front of you, wondering what to write about. And if you are completely honest, you will realise that you have discarded about 10 ideas because you wondered if they were good enough, sweet enough, attractive enough to everyone out there when really, the very first idea that popped into your head was exactly the one you had to put out there. But it seemed too abrasive and horrid…

<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Copy-of-Copy-of-building-a-business-6.png" width="500"/> You know what?!!! I KNOW it feels real, very real! The reasons why you are stuck in place doing nothing much. It all feels legitimate! You tell yourself that you cannot do anything while you feel this way… You tell yourself that you do not know enough… You tell yourself that no one wants to hear from you… You tell yourself that you are simply not enough! You tell yourself that you have no time, no money…

You Will ALWAYS Get What You Expect
A few days ago, I was at a Christian Woman’s Conference. I was the keynote speaker there and as I love to talk, it went incredibly well and I adored every minute of it. I got to speak with amazing people as well to help them come up with ideas for moving forward. It was great. However, the thing that I also recognised was tribal thinking…

They Said I Was Lazy…
They said I was lazy and I suppose I was… I did not want to cook, to clean and do all that boring stuff that a ‘woman’ was supposed to know how to do… I took it to heart… I made it mean something because I did not suit them… It hurt because I let it hurt… I forgot that I was me…

Spiritual Freedom
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/4-Things-Needed-To-Grow-Your-Purpose-Driven-Business-7.png" width="500"/> I have always wanted a life where I was super close to my Higher Power! Since I was 6 or 7 years old and life took a turn for the unknown, I have searched for spiritual understanding… Always knowing that there was something, someONE out there loving me, paying attention… Religion however, comes with all these rules and regulations about how things SHOULD BE done to connect with God… And that stifles everything!

When Will Your Life Begin?
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/When-Will-My-Life-Begin--1024x536.png" width="500"/> It was only 8 or so years ago when I wondered this – When will my life begin? I was humming the tune to Tangled in my head and wondering when things would change, when I would have the dreams I longed for, when I would feel alive again, when I would love life again. I had been bankrupt a few years before and I had been depressed since then and I wondered if I had the courage to go after everything I wanted… Life was humdrum and I was dissatisfied.

Are Your Goals Optional?

Because it is not optional. When I set the goal, there is no room for ‘erms, buts, maybes’! It is simply happening and that is that! I make a decision and once I have decided?! There is no room for negotiation on the goal. So tell me, how optional are your goals? Is it a must? Or a ‘only when it feels good’?

If You Want To Experience Success, Wealth & Freedom… Pick Up Your Shovel & Dig For It
“In South Africa, they dig for diamonds. Tons of earth are moved to find a little pebble not as large as a little finge ail. The miners are looking for the diamonds, not the dirt. They are willing to lift all the dirt in order to find the jewels. In daily life, people forget this principle and become pessimists because there is more dirt than diamonds. When trouble comes, don’t be frightened by the negatives. Look for the positives and dig them out. They are so valuable it doesn’t matter if you have to handle tons of dirt.” David Seabury I love this quote.

Who Told You To Kill Off Bits Of Yourself To Live A Good Life?

Use all my strengths, my gifts, my talents to create a life I adored , rather than continually try to force myself into a career, a business, a life that did not suit me.r

A No Excuses Approach
I recently learned about a young Korean boy who found his way to Korea’s Got Talent. He’d been on his own since he was 5, sleeping in public restrooms, selling gum and candy on the side of the road to get by. But he was inspired one day by a singer in a nightclub whom he said sang so “sincerely,” and it touched off a yearning in the young man to sing. He managed to take master classes, and as one of the judges says, “he passionately runs toward what he wants.” Here are the words to the song he sang on the TV show: In my fantasy I see a just world,r

Financing a New Business
Start slowly and develop the business one step at a time rather than borrowing money to start a home business. If possible, market your business from what you earn from it.

Networking, Today, Tomorrow, Always!
Prior to deciding on my next career adventure, I experienced what many have, and I never imagined myself experiencing. That was, the five minute ‘we are making some organization changes’ discussion, from my manager. Even as he said that, I was imagining a different job, a new role, maybe a downsizing of my responsibility within the company. I never imagined after years of dedication, loyalty, and, if you allow me to boast, significant contribution, that I along with others, was being downsized right out of our jobs. Unbelievable!

Business Tip - Random Tips & Pearls for your Business
Marketing: Getting the word out. Not all practices and businesses have flyers and brochures. I recently met with an NP who uses Vista Prints for business cards, post cards and brochures. Her office even had a double sided sign in the window that she received for free from Vista Prints. Taking Call: I take my own call.

Taking Care of the Provider & the Business Owner

Many business owners are also hard at work all evening and each weekend getting caught up on billing, policies & procedures, marketing or just finishing the day's paperwork.

My Top Three Time Management Strategies
A business owner recently asked for time management strategies for busy entrepreneurs. Aren’t we all insanely busy running our businesses?

My first response is that I gave up on the concept of “time management” a long time ago and I decided that I needed to re-frame that in order for me to have the most productive days that I possibly could.

“How Can I Make my Marketing Effective & Successful?”
A business owner recently asked the questio “How do I make my marketing more effective and more successful?” That is a brilliant question that I wish more business owners would ask themselves.

Second, you must have a call-to-action. This gives people an invitation to come experience more of what you have. Marketing is ineffective when the market selected is not the right one.

It seemed that the thrills of drugs could not work. Why do we suffer?

Strategy vs. Culture in the Small Business
In a newsletter of March 17, 2011, Graham Mitchell, writing in ActionSTEPS, a publication of ActionCOACH, says that “culture eats strategy for breakfast”.

In view of this, we need to assign the appropriate amount of time to each task so we can save on time.

Productivity and the Rubber Band Effect
What, you might ask, is "the rubber band effect?" It's a bit like the yo-yo effect, but rather than describing fluctuations in results it describes the expansion and contraction of your capacity to deliver.

Perhaps the rubber band at rest can be equated to the (rare) moments of quiet calm, of meditation.

For the “Science” of delegation, you’ll first need to know if you are an over-delegator or an under-delegator.

***Is Your Business Built on Passion or Pleasing?
I knew a woman who didn’t know what she wanted to eat. Her husband would ask her, "Do you want Chinese or Mexican food for dinner? Do you want fast food? Do you feel like cooking?" She would study his face with each word, listen to his inflections, trying to guess what he wanted her to say. "Do you want Chinese?" she’d ask him. "Whatever you want is fine with me." Eventually, her husband stopped making suggestions. "Just tell me what you’re in the mood for," he’d say. "Tonight we’ll have what you want."

Look around you. Do you have everything you desire for your business? If your business is not where you want it to be, you need to look at where YOU are focusing your thoughts, feelings, and actions. You can’t blame anyone or anything if you are not where you want to be. You need to take absolute energetic responsibility for all of it and move in loving kindness from where you are to where you want to be. Conflict gives you so much to learn from and until you take full responsibility, you will always feel like something “out there” needs to change for your outcomes to be what you want.

This may show up as lack of clients, a lot of “busy-ness” without results or feeling uninspired. Being in a balanced energy state changes everything about what you are able to create through your business. Think you don’t have time to create balance? Think again. Your success depends upon it.

Are you following up?
If you want more clients, one of the most effective ways to increase your abundance of clients is with the power of follow up. For those of us who are heart-centered that “Old School” technique of pressure and manipulation doesn’t work so well. This has been the main point of reference for sales, but when you are a heart-centered entrepreneur you are conflicted about how to “sell.” So you find yourself doing anything but connect with those you are meant to serve.

Is Your Business Set Up To Win?
by Heather Dominick EnergyRICH® Entrepreneur Success and Master Coach It’s been my experience that most entrepreneurs miss a very important step when it comes to the success of their businesses: they fail to plan. When you are your business it’s extremely easy to get caught up in putting out the latest fire or being distracted by the newest email. (I used to be so guilty of this one that I now turn my email off when I’m working on anything but email!) In order to really be on a high energy track of attracting clients and growing your business, you must plan.

Five Top Productivity Tools for a New and Improved 2010
I’m often asked, “How do you do it -All?” Now, I do have a full private mentor client load, 20 members in each EnergyRICH® Business Boot Camp, write a newsletter weekly, attend many events, give teleseminars, present speaking engagements and even more behind the scenes. And, yes, while I do have a great support team (thanks gals – and guy!) there is a lot that is hands-on-by-me and it’s the systems I have in place that allow me to get “it” all done and create new opportunities all the time.

***How to Stop the Income Roller Coaster Ride
Most entrepreneurs market their business half-heartedly. One month they’re marketing machines the next they are too busy and marketing goes out the window. Inconsistency with your marketing plan creates inconsistency with your new-client-flow.

Attract Your Potential Clients With Your Compelling Story!
We’re talking about how telling your story can reach your potential client. I want to you imagine that a sales representative for a soft drink company – let’s say, Pepsi – walked up to you and said, “I’d like to sell you one of my beverages.” “All right,” you say. “What’ve you got?” He pulls out a solid grey, 12 ounce can and presents it to you. “This is Pepsi. It has 100 calories per 8 ounce serving. The ingredients are carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, sugar, phosphoric acid, caffeine, citric acid and natural flavors.” “Well .

***Do You Have A Profitable Business Plan You Can Follow?
What would you do if you knew you and your business would succeed no matter what? Would you stop feeling scattered and overwhelmed? Most likely. Most entrepreneurs work themselves into a whirlwind of scattered energy, distraction and overwhelm instead of being connected to what NEEDS your business attention right now. Now so often this tailspin of overwhelm is activated by technology. For example, I’ve seen it over and over again … entrepreneurs with no or very few clients jump the gun by trying to get their social networking/media in order.

***The Sure-Fire Way to Sabotage Your Success (And How to Avoid It!)
There is one way to be sure that you will not succeed as an entrepreneur: Engage in limiting thoughts such as “No I can’t”, “I’m not ready”, “This isn’t going to work”. If you truly desire to succeed in the world of being self-employed you must make overcoming lower-level energies a priority and consciously choose to step into higher-level energies - consistently.

What You MUST Know to Attract Clients When Networking
I remember when I was introduced to the concept of “business networking” when I started my first business. I thought, I will NEVER be able to do this.

Are You Ready to Tap Into Your Worth Once and For All?
When you constantly give your energy away to outside circumstances, you're left drained, empty and looking for ways to fill up. You search endlessly for the right "answer" to building your business, making more money. You take course after course, buy product after product and then, if you're honest with yourself, understand that what you're waiting for is someone to do it all for you ...

How To Move Through Blocked Energy In Your Business
What exactly is "Blocked Energy?" Blocked energy is, in essence, when you want to move forward in an area in your business, but you find yourself feeling stuck. How do you know when you're experiencing it in your business? You may find yourself thinking and/or saying things like... "I'm procrastinating ...." "I feel overwhelmed." "I'm not inspired to take action..." "I've been wanting this in my business for a long time, but I can't figure out how to make it happen..." Any of these feelings and thoughts ring a bell? When these thoughts are coming up t

Stop Thinking Problems Are Bad
One of my favorite phrases is: "The Universe is always handing you the next steps for your business." Now you may think that this only refers to gifts: a new client out of the blue, a great connection, money in the mail. This is all true and absolutely possible (especially as an EnergyRICH® Entrepreneur), but honestly, what I'm really talking about are the problems that pop up. Whenever a problem or obstacle presents itself, how do you react? I can remember I used to get so frustrated!
