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.

PS I struggle between staying open to what is beyond, and being a skeptic – needing to see what is quantifiably in front of me. So I’m excited to hear more from Bridget, and expand my own awareness. If you’re a skeptic, come and join us and practice staying open. That’s the only way we grow!

Playing BIG in the world is your gateway to being a great coach because coaching and ‘playing’ BIG go together like a hand in a glove.

Meanwhile, the social gaming explosion is a major cultural phenomenon that we as coaches cannot ignore. Over 100 MILLION people actively participate in pretend worlds on a regular basis – many for 20 hours per week or more! Why?

Because people of all ages are YEARNING to play BIG.

What if you could show people that they can play BIG in their REAL life with you as their coach? That would open up a massive opportunity for you to coach a LOT of people in a fun and inspiring new way.

Expert coach, and head of coaching school Coachville, Dave Buck MCC, joins us as our feature coach during the International Coach Federation 2011 Coaching Week.

Coach Dave will share what it means to play BIG in the world as a Coach and how to transform your coaching concepts into a game worth playing.

I’ve recognised when I moved to the US 7 years ago, that everything had sugar in it, even the bread. It was a bit of a shock to my poor body, and immediately I started putting on weight. Eventually our taste buds adjust, but of course thats not always a good thing, when you want to avoid eating something like sugar.

I probably don’t need to spell out to you, what you already know! …That obesity is one of the main causes of death in the US, and leads to diabetes, heart failure and so on. And the kids… well don’t get me started.

Its up to us to educate ourselves and pass that information on to the next generation and our clients. And, if we make a big enough noise, which thankfully is starting to happen, we can get corporations and school canteens to sit up and pay attention to the well being of our society.  I love what Jamie Oliver is doing in the school systems here and in the UK!

From a spiritual stand point, we are damaging the vessel that houses our spirit in this current life time. When we consider the body the temple that houses our spirit, being aware of how we are treating that temple, puts a different spin on it. So lets take a step to honor our ‘temple’.

One such person, who is doing just that, and who’s taking a stand about the danger of sugar and our country-wide addiction to it, is Connie Bennett, author of Sugar Shock. Interviewed together with contributing author of Sugar Shock Dr Stephen Sinatra on Oprah & Friends, Dr Mehmet Oz said “Connie’s work spills the beans on the shocking impact of simple carbohydrates on aging and quality of life—a double whammy for humanity.” You can listen to this interview on http://www.oprah.com/health/Sugar-Shock at your leisure.

I am excited to have her join me as our guest on KtC Radio this week, to discuss the hidden culprits of sugar, what its doing to us, and how to break the sugar habit and  make changes to support ourselves and our families.

Take a stand and get the low down about what’s going into your body without you even realising it! And if you or someone you know would like to share an experience with sugar addiction on this show, please call in on the number below during the show.

To find out more about Connie Bennett and the effects of sugar go to Connie’s Blog And to get the book just click on Sugar Shock!

The last week of the month on Wednesdays is  now, dedicated to the Health & Well Being Thought Leader Hot Seat, so that soulopreneurs like you and I can take of ourselves, while we take care and nurture others in our lives and businesses.  And as usual the rest of the month, is dedicated to your growth in your conscious business.

Join us at 3pm ET on 347-945 6963 or through the web KtC Radio and feel free to call in with your burning questions – I’m sure you’ll have lots! I know I will!  And remember, if you’re not able to listen ‘live’, go to the same link after the show airs for the RECORDING.

And as you know, I really appreciate your thoughts on what this post says to you, so please post your comments below. It inspires me, when I know that you’re inspired (or incensed)!

Namaste, and to your shining success!

As soul-o-preneurs one of the biggest things we seek as business owners, is a powerful connection with our clients or potential clients.  It means they’re more likely to engage in our services, to really get the benefit of the gifts we bring (and who are we not to make sure that we do everything in our power to make sure that they have an opportunity to experience them!) and to create an ongoing relationship which is meaning to us and them, as well as helping us not have to work so hard to keep filling our practice with a revolving door system which we really don’t want.      So NLP and understanding certain things about our way of learning comes in very useful!   I hope you enjoy the show as much as I know I will, and read Michael’s book too.   Its very insightful into some of these methods he will be sharing with us on the show.

To your ongoing shining success.
