3 Big Flashing Neons Signs that say you are Ready to Become VISIBLE in your Soul-Driven Business!
Are you ready? Let’s find out!
The reality is that when you’re growing a business in healing or helping profession, you want to have certain specific foundational pieces in place first! Like deciding who you’re serving; having systems in place to run your business effectively – like email management systems, bookkeeping etc; and having step by step strategies to communicate with and enroll clients.
There also comes a time through the evolution of your heart-centered business, when you start to realize you want to maximize what you’re doing, to make a healthy income and attract your ideal clients! That’s when the light bulb moment happens that says you’re ready to become VISIBLE in your practice, and step into a bigger playing field!
Here are 3 BIG NEON SIGNS to look out for, that indicate that you’re open and ready…
1) You’re starting to feel frustrated and even a little stuck. That you have a few clients, but really want more clients – and not only that – your IDEAL clients, to build a solid income in your business, as well as help more people. You know they’re out there, and that you can help them – but how to connect the dots!? And you want to do something about it.
2) When you’re thinking – ‘I’m swapping my valuable time for income, and that there is a ceiling to to what I can earn and to how much energy I can give. I can only do so much when it comes to ‘time’.’ When you recognize that it’s time to reach more people exponentially – and to share programs and products that will help more people at once, and make your business more profitable!
3) When you recognize you’ve been holding yourself back and perhaps playing small. This can come from fear or other seemingly feasible excuses. But you know in your heart, by not stepping out of your comfort zone, that you’re denying those people out there who need your help and support, the opportunity 1) to know that you are there and available, and 2) the education to know that there is a way to be supported with the challenges they face. That it’s really time to ‘own’ what you do and step out into a bigger playing field.
If you are identifying with any one of these 3 indicators, then you’re ready to step into the SPOTLIGHT and become VISIBLE in your soul-driven business. And I applaud you for even getting this far, because it’s a courageous step to meaning ‘business’ in running your business, AND making a difference exponentially.

You might know this already, after all its difficult to miss! Online Video is exploding everywhere these days, and with good reason. Video Marketing works! Most experts agree that web video has become an absolute “must have” marketing tool for the survival of your business. And particularly if you want it to be a very successful business, that makes a difference!
And if that’s not reason enough, here are ten more compelling reasons why you need to be using video to market and promote your business:
1. Google Loves Video! And not just because they own YouTube. Video puts your SEO on steroids. With video, you can dramatically improve your search engine rankings.
2. Video is Personal. You can enhance your know, like and trust factor very quickly by appearing on video. Let your customers get to know you by seeing and hearing you!
3. Video is Immediate. Got an idea or a message? Got a webcam? Then you can make a video instantly and be online in minutes. (Try the “quick capture” function on YouTube).
4. Video Connects. Nothing establishes a better connection with your clients and customers than video. Video creates that immediate bond and brings you closer to your customers.
5. Video is Here to Stay. Video is way past the trend stage and is quickly becoming a mainstream marketing tool. The sooner you get up to speed with this valuable resource, the better.
6. Video is (mostly) Free! With a free account on YouTube and a $40 webcam, you’re good to go with online video. In fact, you can get a free account at Animoto.com and create a free video montage using just your photos!
7. Video gives you worldwide exposure, 24/7. Having videos online increases your visibility across the globe. Let your video work for you while you sleep! And video is forever… Once it’s online, it keeps working for you, 24 hours a day.
8. YouTube Rocks! With an audience of 85 million viewers, YouTube is the place to be seen online. Not only is YouTube now the 4th most popular website on the Internet, it’s also the 2nd biggest search engine! Want a piece of the action? Create an upload your video to YouTube fast.
9. It’s Easier Than You Think! Handy gadgets like the Flip Video camera and the iPhone with Video make it easier than ever to capture and upload video. Both the Flip and the iPhone let you upload directly to YouTube. I’ve done both! And it’s so easy – the most technologically challenged would be ok doing this!
10. Video Accelerates the Sales Process! The best news of all about adding video to your marketing mix is that it greatly accelerates the sales process. People buy from someone they know, like and trust – and video can rapidly speed that process. That means more clients, more quickly, and more income!
The video train is pulling out of the station, but there’s still time to jump on! The quickest and easiest way to get up to speed quickly is to join my friend and colleague Lou Bortone for his one-day virtual workshop, “Video in a Day!” Visit http://budurl.com/VideoInADay and learn how you can get your video online in just a few weeks. It’s time! And besides if you want to become VISIBLE in your business, which you know I love, this is one super-charged way to do it. (and you don’t even need to be on camera!)
I love Lou’s programs and participated in one he did last year, which I loved and got me going on using video in my business – which I do now on a regular basis and in my program launches! I am an affiliate partner of Lou’s, but I assure you its because I know that was he has to offer is wonderful, and so want to be able to share that with you. 
To your shining success!

–
If you’ve been reading this blog lately you’ll see I’ve been writing about this subject a lot!!! Its such an underlying foundation to everything we do or don’t do – and most of the time we’re so unconscious of how beliefs are getting in the way of what we’re going for in life! We’re literally creating an opposing energy counteracting all the good energy we’ve been consciously creating. So the key is to shine the light on these beliefs that are running us, so we can do something about them.
I’m so inspired to talk about this on my show this week. And here’s why…
What tipped the scale was a comment one of my followers made in an email to me. Before that she sent this email, she had mentioned that nothing free ever shows up for people like her who can’t afford to invest in growing her business. Phew, see the beliefs in there already!?…
- Nothing free ever shows up (well we know that’s not true as we’re constantly being offered free teleclasses, e-books and reports)
- People like her who can’t afford to invest … (there is a belief that will constantly show up to be true, so it will prevent her from attracting money towards her)
- That she needs money to grow her business (again not true – there are so many resources available. Of course at some point we DO want to invest, but it doesn’t have to stop us growing with other free or low cost resources)
So those were just some that showed up in the initial interaction.
Then the following email was about a prize I offered on my show – a full scholarship to the upcoming Visibility Mastery program. One of the caveats on my show for participating in this special draw, was that the participant had to be willing to doing the work in this program and show up fully committed. That’s all. In response to the opportunity the same dear individual, sent me an email, saying the opportunity was wonderful, but she didn’t know that she could. Here are more beliefs that showed up:
- That her illness might get in her way. (sure, this is a possibility – and what you focus on expands, and it might not! do the best you can)
- She won’t be able to grow her visibility because she won’t have money to buy the tools to create visibility (whew – again the money belief there, and the belief that you need money to become visible!)
- She also said ‘I don’t want to take the place of someone else’ – so a belief about not being worthy enough…
So ultimately with these beliefs and unsupportive thought supporting these beliefs she shut herself off from being open to the wonderful opportunity that come her way, and ultimately lost the opportunity because of it.
See that! If we don’t believe in ourselves, how can we expect others to?
One thing she was clear on and so was I, was that she wasn’t committed to her own growth as well as that of her business. Not that she was consciously aware of this. I know she is committed to her vision, and her passion – but her beliefs were running her. See that?
So I am passionate about supporting you and myself and everyone out there doing great work helping others to really look hard and deep, because ultimately you’re probably getting in the way of going for your vision, living your passion and doing great work! We all do, all the time! The question is ‘are we willing to keep doing the work?’

PS Let’s choose to love our limiting beliefs – they’re a gift to keep tuning into what’s most important to us, to keep us growing and awakening. And their also our little sentries, trying to protect us. Have compassion and love for them and for you. Love leads to releasing.
Communicating with Angels?!
As soulopreneurs taking care of others, and growing a practice at the same time – sometimes life can get a bit frenetic and stressful. Our special guest is really ‘special’. She communes with Angels! And she’s going to help us tap into our own divinity to take care of ourselves first, so we can take care of our clients more powerfully AND build prosperous businesses..

She teaches her clients how to partner with their Divinity, which is a short cut to all good things. This is the place that gives you universal truths, creativity, brilliant ideas, and guidance on how to align with the prosperity, relationships, and health you desire.
Did you know the word Angel comes from Old English (engel) and ultimately from the Greek word angelos, which means “messenger? Angels bring messages from the divine mind. Bridget says the Angels want you to know that it is okay to be skeptical or dubious about their existence.
Bridget will share with us how to tap into our own angels guides – or even explore the possibility of that if you are a skeptic. And importantly, guide us to help ourselves access our divine guidance as we deal with stress and information overload in our everyday business lives.

This looked kinda cool! So I thought I would share this tool with you. Expect to see more tools and resources coming through on future posts.
A shout out to Mashable, for sharing this info!
Imagine having a video in the place of your profile pic! It reminds me of the paintings in the school hallways of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies, where the figures were moving all the time – but of course we also get to speak! Bonus!
I haven’t tried it yet, but let me know what you think if you do!
Here’s what Mashable recommends:
Enter FlipYourProfile, a new Facebook app slash browser plugin that allows you to replace your profile photo with a video. That’s right. You no longer have to have a boring still image in your profile photo box. You can have a moving, breathing, sound-generating profile video on loop.
The app was built by Cisco and DDB Singapore as a way of promoting the former’s line of Flip video cameras.
The application has two catches: First, only those who have the plugin installed will be able to see your video, otherwise they’ll just see your regular Facebook profile photo. Thus, if you want your friends to see your new profile video, you’ll need to persuade them to install it (and perhaps upload a video to their own profiles as well). Secondly, an ad saying, “Amazing! You can post videos on your Facebook profile. Get the app to view my profile vid,” will be automatically posted to your wall should you decide to upload a video, which is rather annoying.
Still interested? Follow these four steps to upload your own Facebook profile video.
- Go to facebook.com/FlipSG and download the browser plugin for Chrome, Safari, Firefox or IE.
- Restart your browser.
- Connect your profile with the app.
- Shoot and send video by e-mailing a video from your Flip Video cam to me@flipyourprofile.com, or by using the Profile Maker to shoot a video using your webcam or to upload an existing video (less than 10MB, .flv, .mp4, h.264 only).*
*Note: If you’re using, for example, your iPhone to shoot video, you’ll need to use a free file converter like Get Miro to convert your .mov file to one of the compatible formats. You should also shoot your video in horizontal mode; otherwise, it will appear sideways on your profile.
Enjoy, and let me know how it goes! I want to see your videos! This is a great way to have instant connection and send people to your Fanpage!
Happy Valentines! Are you having a wonderful day with your partner, or planning something romantic this evening? I hope so.
I find Valentine’s day to be a bit of weird day for me…
I love the concept, hate the hype. I want to spend the day / a day focusing on love, and how I feel about my Clive – but the commercialism of Valentine’s Day gets in the way for both of us. Like being held to ransom with the cost of flowers, cards, and being stuck in restaurants filled with other couples. It feels a bit weird and contrived to me. So we decided that the concept – the original reason why we celebrate Valentine’s is the important piece, and we want to get all snuggly about that! So Clive and I now choose to celebrate Valentine’s a week later! Well this time it’s on Friday, but you get my drift.
I wanted to share some LOVE with you today, but before I do, writing this got me thinking…
Did you know how Valentine’s day got started in the first place? I was really curious! So here goes:
‘According to one particular version, St Valentine was persecuted as a Christian and interrogated by Roman Emperor Claudius II in person. Claudius was impressed by Valentine and had a discussion with him, attempting to get him to convert to Roman paganism in order to save his life. Valentine refused and tried to convert Claudius to Christianity instead. Because of this, he was executed. Before his execution, he is reported to have performed a miracle by healing the blind daughter of his jailer.
Since Legenda Aurea still provided no connections whatsoever with sentimental love, appropriate lore has been embroidered in modern times to portray Valentine as a priest who refused an unattested law attributed to Roman Emperor Claudius II, allegedly ordering that young men remain single. The Emperor supposedly did this to grow his army, believing that married men did not make for good soldiers. The priest Valentine, however, secretly performed marriage ceremonies for young men. When Claudius found out about this, he had Valentine arrested and thrown in jail. is reported to have performed a miracle by healing the blind daughter of his jailer.
There is an additional modern embellishment to The Golden Legend and widely repeated despite having no historical basis whatsoever. On the evening before Valentine was to be executed, he would have written the first “valentine” card himself, addressed to a young girl variously identified as his beloved, as the jailer’s daughter whom he had befriended and healed, or both. It was a note that read “From your Valentine.’ Thanks to Wikipedia for this info!
That’s pretty romantic 1. that he would marry young men in secret & 2. that he might have left a note for the Emperor’s daughter! So that’s the version, I’m going to hang my hat on! 
So I said I wanted to share the LOVE today. I was inspired by a note a friend and peer sent out to her followers today, and asked her if she would mind if I shared her unique gift with you. She said YES! Woohoo. Thanks Karri! (Karri Flatla of snap! web marketing solutions, is an expert in web marketing and copy-writing ) I loved this gift because it’s juicy information that will help me in copy-writing projects of my own. So the thought of sharing this valuable info with you was overwhelming.
She calls it – The Love Letter: A “short copy” creative writing tool for entrepreneurs who dread the long copy sales page. http://budurl.com/sharingthelove
I hope you find this tool really useful. You can start spreading the love in your copy on your website, and draw more business to you authentically and with heart.
With ‘love’
