In the Spotlight: Uplevel Your Business

 

 

LAST CHANCE - If you're thinking of working with my AWESOME business mentor Christine Kane: Uplevel You - Enrollment ends TODAY, FRIDAY 29th at 4pm EST!

I didn't have a business just a jumble of ideas - This program was the framework and catalyst that helped me to build a successful and sustainable business!

Check out the details here... It did change my life!

 

 

Attention:
Entrepreneurs, Solo-Preneurs (Solo Business Owners) and Creatives (including Writers, Artists, Composers and the like)

Are you constantly struggling for money day-in-and-day-out and want to be more effective in making more profits more consistently, while sustaining passion and purpose?
Look at all you get in this 10-part Uplevel Your Business Program & Blueprint...

Module #1:
Be the C.E.O of Y.O.U.

I want to give you the keys to the kingdom before you take even one more step.

What kingdom you ask? YOUR kingdom. Your empire. Your business!

Look, you've got to claim this thing. And that means treating yourself as the CEO and honoring your business with vision and clarity. We're going to help you build a foundation as well as create practices to live from an "Empire Mentality." This means getting clear on your core message and on how to show up as a leader. This one's a gamechanger.

Here's what you'll get:

• The Foundation Formula: A Must-Do process for understanding your WHY, connecting with your clarity and owning your message and value.
• The Million-Dollar Mantra you must live by that will transform how you show up each day in your business forever. (This is my personal SECRET for how to liberate yourself from struggle and resistance.)
• A Starter-Kit of daily practices to keep you focused and aligned.
• PLUS, each module comes with its own Momentum-Builder Tool Kit - with downloadable handouts, resources, and tools to apply immediately.

 

 

Module #2:
Identify Your Ideal Customer

If you don't have a crystal clear picture about the ideal person who you best serve, then you will forever deal with...

• Lowering your prices to compete with others. (Ugh.)
• Attracting clients who "can't afford you" (or who just kick the tires).
• Trying to figure out your "niche." (HINT: This is a waste of time!)
• Catapulting through the usual cycle of monthly ups and downs.

In this module, you'll nail down (once and for all) the essential characteristics of your Ideal Client and learn how to attract your "peeps" to you over and over again.
Here's what you'll get:

• The "Ideal Client Clarity Key" that aligns you instantly with the person you are here to serve. (And most WANT to serve!)
• The 7 "Uplevel-Me" reasons people hire you, and how you can use them to take the mystery out of your message and compel people to call you!
• How to overcome the "I can help everyone" epidemic. (Which guarantees you will stay broke.) And how to get specific about your most Ideal customer.
• The #1 Solo-Business Blunder that very subtly turns people off and actually creates wishy-washy attitudes towards you.
• PLUS, each module comes with its own Momentum-Builder Tool Kit - with downloadable handouts, resources, and tools to apply immediately.

Module #3:
Define your Results and Communicate Your Value

Most solo business owners undervalue themselves. This shows up in unclear messages, cut-rate pricing, and a whole lot of struggle. Hey, the problem MIGHT be mindset. But more likely, the problem is that you've never taken the time to get clear about what the heck you actually DO for your peeps! You simply don't know how to claim or communicate your value. That changes here and now.

Here's what you'll get:

• Why you are killing your conversions by sharing your process - and what to do instead.
• How to turn "soft sell" offers into Must-Have results your prospects want. (HINT: Life coaches and healers must learn this one!)
• But what if I'm scared of being an expert? No worries! I'll cover specific strategies to take the fear out of positioning yourself as an Expert or Leader.
• PLUS, each module comes with its own Momentum-Builder Tool Kit - with downloadable handouts, resources, and tools to apply immediately.

AND there are still 7 Modules to come PLUS so much more. If you are ready to take your business to the next level- then this is for you.

More here.

Love & Light
Andrea

Today's interview is with: Karen C.L. Anderson, The Acceptance Whisperer

Hello and welcome to the place where bravehearts meet! I am so happy to have you here!

Please introduce yourself to my blogreaders: My name is Karen C.L. Anderson and I am the Acceptance Whisperer. I am a Life Coach and EFT Practitioner and I work with people to release resistance and to embrace acceptance. knowing that resistance is a fear-based mechanism that holds us back and accpetance is a powerful change agent and accelerator.

How did you find out what your calling is?

Having lived most of my life in resistance, I finally woke up to the power of acceptance in 2005 when I discovered Emotional Freedom Technique. In 2009 I started blogging about my journey to acceptance. Becoming a Life Coach was the natural next step.

Please share your favorite thing about your business: I love helping people understand that they have everything they need, right inside themselves. They have the answers, it's just a matter of showing them that they are in their own way.

What are your top 3 tips to keep balance as an Entrepreneur ? To be honest, I find balance to be somewhat overrated. Business, like life, has its ups and downs and isn't meant to be 100% in balance. That said, I find I do my best work and am able to weather the ups and downs when I do three things on a regular basis: get enough sleep, move my body, and eat healthfully.

How can we find you?

Blogchallenge on Monday: R.E.L.e.A.s.E

Hello and welcome to my Blogchallenge on Monday!

 

I love the topic: R.E.L.e.A.s.E

 

Some weeks ago I realized that I have to let go of something that wasn't  valid for my life anymore.

I felt that it became an obstacle and I found out that it has been a limited belief.

Oh yes, we all have them. Sometimes we are aware of them, sometimes not.

 

It took my a while to truly feel that is was just a thought. That is wasn't the truth.

 

I felt that I had to let go of the fear that I am not perfect enough to offer my Intuitie Readings in English. That people will probably think that I have an accent. That people will not like it.

 

But then my inner voice got louder and louder because I wanted to open up, I wanted to expand- yes I wanted to spread my wings. I wanted to serve more people.

 

So I had to let go.

I had to trust.

I had to release everything that was no longer in allignement with my heart.

Fears are never great friends.

So we have to say Godd-Bye to them.

To let them go with LoVe.

 

So I went to my workspace and started to paint.

I said Good-Bye to the fear and invited My Braveheart to step into my Life.

 

Here is what I painted:

 

 

So I started.

 

Now it is up to you: Please share in the comment below:

What do you need to release?

What does no longer serve you?
Is it a fear? Is is a person? Is it an old habit?

 

Please, your comment is so valuable- share it and inspire my readers.

 

Writing about having fears: I will take part in the Clear Your Fear Part 1 & 2 with Sara Pruett Arey.

It starts today, but you can still register! I know Sara personally and her method is a gift to our world.

Don't forget to leave your comment!

LOve & light,

Andrea

In the Spotlight: Gail Kenny

Today's interview is with Gail Kenny

Hello and welcome to the place where bravehearts meet! I am so happy to have you here!

Please introduce yourself to my blogreaders:

I’m a mind-body coach helping people heal pain from the inside out.  I specialize in helping people change old dysfunctional patterns of thinking and feeling resulting in physical and emotional pain relief and getting back to living the life they want.

I guide people into their bodies to experience deep-healing soul reconnection.  This process allows the pain and discomfort to be recognized with a deeper understanding of what the messages are and how to live with more ease.

How did you find out what your calling is?

I struggled with chronic pelvic pain for more than 20 years.  All the normal established treatments for pelvic pain didn’t help me much and and I had periods of time when I wanted out of this life because it was too painful and hopeless and the doctors didn’t know how to help me.  I finally began to feel better after I found the right physical therapy and then connected with a mind-body coach and learned how to connect with my body and feel my emotions.  Now I’m passionate about helping other people heal their pain too.  I know how hard it is to live a life in pain.  I’m passionate about spreading my message to help people find relief for their pain sooner than I did.  

Please share your favorite thing about your business:

I love guiding people deep into their being to connect with the places they are stuck and help them make positive energy shifts into expansion and well-being. 

What was your bravest step?

My bravest step was to let go of living in the coventional way, working in a secure job I was good at but which I wasn’t passionate about and give myself permission to live in a way that nourishes my body and soul, trusting that my needs will still be met. 

As you know I am a Dreamcoach where I help heartcentred people connect with their passion, mission, and vision. What are you dreaming about?

I am dreaming about continuing to grow my mind-body coaching business in a way that attracts clients I love working with, keeps me healthy and contented, and supports me and my family comfortably. 

What are your top 3 tips to keep balance as an Entrepreneur ?

1.      Take some quiet time each day to get still to check in with your inner self.

2.      Have daily resting practice.  Ten minutes of mindful resting can be very refreshing. 

3.      Move your body – do yoga, dance, walk, run, play a sport, etc.  Our bodies are much happier when we move them more often. 

How can we find you?

FREE video series: From Purpose to Business

Making money is a touchy subject.

Some people would have you think you can just hang out on the couch, eat bonbons and think abundant thoughts... and voila, you'll get rich.

Then there's the drill sergeants people who shout that you have to work! Work hard! Sleep when you die! (Yikes.)

Well, if you have a business, then you know that neither is very effective.

And that's why I'm writing this post.

My friend Christine Kane has posted a FREE video series about a whole new model to making money in your business.

Look, it's one thing to know that money flows into your business.

It's a whole OTHER thing to know how to orchestrate that flow.

That's EXACTLY what Christine is going to teach you in her free Money Master Class.

Money Master Class Training - you can register here.

Bottom line?

You'll walk away from this training more confident.

You'll walk away knowing how to think differently about money and how to design the business that works for you -- and the ideal life you want to have.

And best of all, you'll walk away knowing what to do to double your income over and over again this year!

Hey, that's WAY better than bon-bons. :)

It is free and you can register here.

Get ready and prepare a post, a picture, a poem, a painting and join me here on March 18th!

In the spotlight: Jeanne Dulaney Andrus

Today's interview is with Jeanne Andrus, owner and founder of Ignite!, where I help women transform their experience of menopause into a journey of discovery filled with joy, love and laughter.

Hello and welcome to the place where bravehearts meet! I am so happy to have you here!

Please introduce yourself to my blogreaders:

I am the owner and founder of Ignite!, where I help women transform their experience of menopause into a journey of discovery filled with joy, love and laughter.

How did you find out what your calling is ?

I started my business as a personal trainer and running coach. But as I worked with women in their 40’s and 50’s, I found they needed support around the changes that come with menopause. Not just the physical changes (and temporary symptoms), but the emotional, mental and spiritual ones as well. I wanted to help women create a path through this time of their life so that they are happier, healthier and more fulfilled, rather than less.

So, now I offer wellness coaching that includes diet, exercise, stress management and how to handle the changes that occur in your body throughout the menopause experience.

Please share your favorite thing about your business:

My favorite thing is still crossing the finish line of a 5k race with a woman who never believed she could run 5 kilometers before she started working with me ! It’s just such a wonderful visual reminder of how far she’s come ! Not everyone who works with me becomes a runner, but it’s a special moment for those who do.


What was your bravest step?

On the surface, the bravest thing I ever thought I did, the one that had my heart crashing in my chest was sky-diving! I used to say it was the biggest fear I wanted to conquor, so a couple of years ago, my son and I signed up and did it. Stepping off that platform, even strapped to an experienced instructor, was big! I found out that, like so many things that fear keeps us from, it was FUN! And I want to do it again!

But, when I think about it, the moment I gave my heart to my second husband and the one where I quit my job as a computer consultant to start my business were really braver! Because marriages and businesses fail all the time, and sky divers really do land just fine almost every time!

As you know I am a Dreamcoach where I help heartcentred people connect with their passion, mission, and vision. What are you dreaming about?

I’m dreaming about creating a retreat for women who just need a break! A place where they can go and re-connect with themselves, find some balance and be able to see the path open in front of them that will lead them to their hearts‘ desire.

What are your top 3 tips to keep balance as an Entrepreneur ?

My tips to keeping balance are the same for everybody , entrepreneur or not…

1.Support yourself with a healthy body– exercise every day, eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep !

2.Don’t forget to get up out of your work every once in a while and just have fun !

3.Laugh !

How can we find you?

I’m online at www.live-ignited.com and I answer questions about menopause and provide information about the process of menopause (I’m currently writing a year-long series on the signs, changes and „symptoms“ of menopause) on Facebook at www.facebook.com/RockinMenopause.

Dreamheartsmartart is a place to get inspired and to share with an open heart. What would you like to offer to my readership?

Enter your name and email address here and Jeanne will send you a free beach vacation – a guided relaxation visualization that will take you away to the beach and have you breathing easier in just 10 minutes. I love the ocean and find there’s nowhere more restful than anywhere near the water.


I’ll also send you my free video series „5 steps to Rockin‘ Menopause.“


Thank you so much Andrea!

The next interview will be up in a week.

Blogchallenge: M.a.s.T.e.R.Y

Hello and welcome to my Blogchallenge! Today's topic is Mastery.

 

What a topic! The definition of the word is:

a. full command or understanding of a subject

b. outstanding skill; expertise

c. the power of command; control

 

Here is how I look at it:

 

Creativity:

When it comes to my creative work, like painting, collaging, taking photos, movements, journaling... I do not wait or I do not judge myself to "not have it super perfect yet" or to have a final beautiful outcome.

 

If I was longing for an outstanding skill in this area - I guess I would never start to do anything. Which would be a pitty.

 

Backgrounds from my latest work. Birdies. In process.

 

 

My work:

When I decided to become a Dreamcoach and to help others to live a happier and fullfilled life- I wanted to have all  the expertise to do that.

 

When I wanted to go on stage with my One- Women-Show- I absolutely needed to master the technics to be able to express what I wanted.

 

 

 I help my clients to get clarity and power with my intuitive Dreambook readings.

They are getting wings, an open heart and a lot of courage.

 

 

My learning:

I always wanted to learn from the best. From the masters. That is why I took the risk and left my beautiful appartement, my 6 figure job, my beautiful country and went to the auditions of "The International School of Mime of Marcel Marceau" in Paris.

 

Risk taking and being brave is so worth it.

 

I learned from the Master himself and this gave me the skills I needed. In my personal live and growth and as an Entrepreneur.

 

 

Up to you:

What do you think about Mastery?

How do you look at it when it comes to creativity, work and learning?

Do you have a story?

Please share it with us- it is so beautiful to inspire each other.

How did you find out what your calling is ? 

My Inside-out Story

•      What I mean by inside-out is that what I just told you about myself is more about who I am externally in the world … I want to take some time to share with you who I really am on the inside because WHY I am doing this work is just as important as the content I am bringing you today … And, my story may be part of our story in some way, or part of the stories of others you know …

•      Now, I’m running my dream business. But I spent YEARS longing to start my own business — and not doing it.

•      I was stuck and confused. 

•      I was too big ‘n passionate ‘n fiery to work for others — but too scared to be an entrepreneur.

•      I tried to convince myself I didn’t want to be an entrepreneur because I was afraid to leave the safety and security of corporate life and I got this big, tight, empty feeling in my tummy every time I thought about it …  I didn’t think I could cut it.

•      I’m a lawyer and I’ve got a finance degree.  I know all that linear stuff, and I was terrified about starting a business!

•      I hid in the safe, 6-figure legal consulting world.  I was making lots of money, but was totally MISERABLE, there was a chasm between me and my true purpose.

•      It was a big divide in me that started when I was in business school … I sat excitedly sitting in Econ class looking at the charts on the board, eager to learn.  As I continued to look at the supply and demand model, my excitement disappeared and turned into tightness in my body. 

•      I could feel pain in my heart and a burning, heavy feeling in my stomach.  My mind was saying – “You need to learn this to get your business degree.  Forget about the pain in your heart and the burning rock in your belly – we’ll deal with all that later.  You need to get this degree to be financially safe and secure.”  It didn’t feel like me talking … it was all my conditioning and I listened to it and also the animal instincts we all have for safety and security. 

•      I realized that I had to just stay in my head to learn this stuff, that the fact that it seemed cold, clinical and de-humanizing didn’t matter.   I told myself I’d just have to enjoy my creativity, spirituality and personal development on the side … I can see this clearly now, but at the time, it was unconscious and it all happened in a split second that changed the trajectory of my life.    

•      To jump far ahead in the story, in 2008 I just couldn’t take it anymore - I started life coaching coaching part time –

•      The glimmer of a dream emerging, but still living in 2 worlds, until a car accident in 2010 and some self-destructive patterns woke me up to my misalignment.  … I had no choice.  I knew it was time for me to leap into running my own business.

•      Along my journey, I met so many entrepreneurs struggling with the concrete, linear how-to’s of building their business.  

•      I love the practical and the creative and spiritual and I get both worlds!  The next clue to my life calling emerged:  I want to make it easier for you to share your gifts with the world.

•      I’m here to bridge the gap between creative-intuitive-soulful purpose — and nuts ‘n bolts business savvy.  I support passionate people like you in building your business success — while staying connected to your deeper power and spirit.

•      I’ve dedicated my life to empowering entrepreneurs like you to create booming, profitable, heart-based businesses. I’ve tested the techniques and polished  the jewels of wisdom to help you release fears, find your power – and make a difference in the world, sharing your gifts with the people who have been waiting for you.

 
Please share your favorite thing about your business: 

I love that I get to help amazing women make a great living while making a huge contribution to the world.

What was your bravest step? 

Leaving a steady 6 figure income and taking the leap to start my business. 

As you know I am a Dreamcoach where I help heartcentred people connect with their passion, mission, and vision. What are you dreaming about?

I’m dreaming about changing the way business is done on this planet, to shifting to a Succulent, Savvy, Soul-Full way of doing business. 

What are your top 3 tips to keep balance as an Entrepreneur ?

 

1.      Take regular time for self-care – make appointments with yourself for exercise, meditation, yoga, etc.

 

2.      Choose 1-3 things that are priorities for each day and get those done

3.      Make sure to do one fun thing each day to nourish your soul, even it is just 15 minutes of reading a book.
