Inside the mind of an entrepreneur

Questions might be the Answer

Speaking with Olasope Oyelaran, a linguist from Nigeria, Mark Nepo author of the No. 1 New York Times Bestseller The Book of Awakening learned that there were 7,000 living languages that we know of on Earth.

Following that discussion Mark contemplated that if there are at least seven thousand ways to speak, there are at least seven thousand ways to listen.

We all, especially if we have been…

You Must First SEE Value in Yourself to Add Value to Yourself

In the book The Answer, authors John Assaraf and Murray Smith talk about the negative messages we receive growing up:

By the time you are 17 years old, you’ve heard “No you can’t” an average of 150,000 times. You’ve heard “Yes, you can,” about 5,000 times. That’s thirty no’s for every yes. That makes for a powerful belief of “I can’t.”

Motivator extraordinaire Zig Ziglar said “It’s impossible to…

Your Resistance to Progress will Ruin You

If you’ve been waiting on a sign to determine whether you are ready to do the thing you’ve always wanted to do – today’s the day!

I’m here to tell you: It’s time!

You’ve been spending quite some time in rehearsal. Today is the day to emerge from the curtains that block your stage to the world.

Why have you been so resistant to the call of your soul?

Why do you doubt yourself so much that you keep…

How to Close the Gap between Knowing and Doing

My behaviour never lies. I could talk about all the stuff that I would like to get done, stuff I want to do in my life, places I wish to visit. If I am not getting there then all I’ve been really interested in is being there not actually going.

Take for instance my wanting to go to the Moab music festival. According to Sunset Magazine – “With sandstone walls for acoustics, willows for privacy and…

How Do You Accomplish Anything in Your Life?

Short answer: get out of your comfort zone! We will do almost ANYTHING to stay in our comfort zones. If you want to accomplish anything, you need to get out of your comfort zone- NOW!

We understand in theory, that before we can get to “there”, we need to overcome our fears in the present. Why do we almost always remain stuck – in the unfulfilling job, in the relationship that no longer works, in…

The Most Important Choice You’ll Ever Have to Make

We take time for granted. Many people “kill time” on a daily basis. Yet when it comes to doing things we claim we want to do, we could never “find the time” necessary to do them.

Why do we waste so much time?

Time is our most valuable resource. We can NEVER make up for the time we lose. NEVER! Sadly – we continue to waste it.

“I’ll start tomorrow, on Saturday, on Monday, next week, next month…”…

Judgment – noun jəj-mənt

If we take judging ourselves and others out of our life, we will mostly be living in paradise – Yogi Bhajan

According to Aletheia Luna and Mateo Sol, soulwork teachers who currently live in Perth, Australia…there is a big difference between making judgments and being judgmental. Making judgments comes from a balanced and neutral mind. On the other hand, being judgmental comes from an imbalanced…

Time to let go...

We yearn for something better…our heart knows what we desire…yet we are scared to put down what we know no longer works. We stand in front of the door of “next”…new beginnings…a different way of being…hands full of STUFF!

We’re afraid to admit that this load has become too heavy to bear so we feel that we must hold on. Perhaps to prove to someone that we can do it all…you know tote the shit and…

Bouncing between a stormy past and an unknowable future…

The Point of Power is in the Present – Jane Roberts

How busy our minds are…pondering past situations…trying to wrap our heads around future “what-ifs”…yet NOW is really all we have.

I have not yet learned to live in the now. I seem to be a little fearful of staying there, “after all”, I think, “I have to figure out what’s going to happen…my future needs my full attention.”

Yet as I bounce…

Today is an opportunity to do better; to speak our truth without guilt.

I believe we all are on a spiritual as well as a physical path. I believe it always starts with the spiritual and then manifests into the physical.

One of the hardest things I’ve found to manifest is communicating clearly how I feel and what I’m thinking, especially to those close to me.

I’m a fairly good writer so it’s easy to assume that my overall communication would be fairly good too, but…

I wanted to share a quote from Debbie Forde. Debbie died on Sunday February 17, 2013 after a long battle with cancer.

One of the biggest diseases of our time is people pleasing. People saying ‘yes’ when they mean ‘no.’ Then they feel resentful. They can’t actually go about and meet their own soul’s vision because they’re too busy working on all these other people, or staying nice, or just…

This is not about religion.

Words are powerful.

Maya Angelou said that words were clothed in energy.

We need to bring more consciousness to what is coming out of our mouths.

When we say we have faith…what are we saying?

When we say we are blessed and highly favored, do we understand and live from this position?

When we say we are born again – what does that mean?

born-again – relating to or…

To be born again…

This is your time. This is your moment. Put your shoulders back. Hold your head up high. Walk with confidence. Winning is in your DNA, and it’s about to come out in a greater way. You may have had some victories in the past, but you haven’t seen anything yet.

Do you believe that winning is in your DNA?

I got that quote from Joel Osteen’s book – You Can You Will – 8 Undeniable Qualities of a…

Why do you want to get into business for yourself/own a business?

This question is usually met with the F answer: FREEDOM!

The freedom to do WHAT you want, WHEN you want, with WHOM you want and work on WHATEVER you like WHENEVER you like.

Many envisage being free as being able to spend more time with family and friends, doing what they love doing for a living – day in and day out.

Freedom to…

Do you have someone in your life, willing to have the hard conversations with you? Point out things that others are afraid to say aloud?

I am really blessed to have a couple of those people in my life who point out when I am being biased, or too emotional or irrational. These friends pull my B.S from behind me where I’m hiding it and hold it right in front my face, where I can look at it squarely…
