			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All right, you listened to all the empowering topics last week during the telesummit, and wrote down copious notes, and thought, &#8220;yes I can do that&#8221;&#8230;then what?</p>
<p>Life happened, work happened, things got busy, you got distracted, and all of a sudden you get my newsletter in your inbox and your thinking, &#8220;oh yeah, I forgot- I was going to do ________(fill in blank).</p>
<p>Okay, your human, life happens, we get busy, overwhelmed, and one more to-do seems just overwhelming. Or maybe you really don&#8217;t know where to start, so you&#8217;ll put it off for a bit.</p>
<p>Or maybe you are one of the so many people who share with me that they had taken action, created a blog, or implemented SEO for your website. WHOO HOO! I celebrate your steps, even the ittty bitty ones.</p>
<p>For those of you who seem a bit overwhelmed, and even for those of you who took action and are now wonder what&#8217;s next. I&#8217;d thought I&#8217;d offer some support.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a way to map out your vision of your business that&#8217;s authentic and congruent with your vision and values.</p>
<p>and you don&#8217;t need to waste your time with excessive business plans to do this.</p>
<p>1. Where to you want to be in 6-months to a year? Write about it, envision it, and become crystal clear.</p>
<p>2. Why is this so important to you?</p>
<p>3. Have you made a commitment to do what ever it takes to achieve this goal? If so, what does that mean to you?</p>
<p>4. What&#8217;s your step-by-step plan to achieve this? This is where you get very specific about what you are doing, the time it will take, the outcomes you desire, what support you will need along the way. Most people get stuck on the &#8220;how&#8221;. They don&#8217;t know what they don&#8217;t know, so they keep doing the same thing and operating under the same beliefs and actions. This is where most people get frustrated and spend years wasting time and energy, and often where they give up.</p>
<p>So how can you move forward if you don&#8217;t know what steps to take?</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t really. However, you can learn.</p>
<p>So it&#8217;s time to do some research and explore programs, books, and mentors who can help you with this process.</p>
<p>You see, everything you do should lead you into the next step. Meaning the next step for your clients to work with you, the next step you can connect with people after meeting them, the next step you can take to educate potential clients on the benefits you offer and how they can work with you. There should always be a next step.</p>
<p>If you take the time and write out your response to the 4 questions above you have yourself a map of where you want to go, now it&#8217;s time to take the next step and take action.</p>
<p>Depending upon where you are in your practice it could mean establishing your niche (that&#8217;s the foundation if you haven&#8217;t done this yet), it could be establishing your brand so you clearly convey what you do and who you work with, it could be creating marketing systems so you know what you&#8217;re working on and when, it could be developing your &#8217;signature system&#8217; to help clients understand the benefits they get from working with you, it could be creating programs and packages to offer your current clients, it could be learning how to have a &#8220;connecting conversation&#8221; so you authentically enroll new clients into your practice, it could be designing your &#8216;profit pyramid&#8217; whereby all of your programs and products are mapped out for the year, so you know what income you are creating and where to focus your time and energies.</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s time to step forward and decide, what&#8217;s next. If you don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s next, how committed are you to learn and take action? It&#8217;s every action that you take in the right direction of your goals that will help you achieve what you desire swiftly. So out of the list of steps, decide what you&#8217;ll focus on and then take action to learn and implement it- really it&#8217;s that easy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are in private practice, this is a good motto to adopt. You see the belief that as a therapist you need to struggle and get paid minimally for your services, is truly optional. There is a beautiful liberation when you discover that you have these transformative and empowering gifts you share with our clients, which can dramatically change their lives. When you value your time, freedom, and the work you do, you create a space to consider how you can easily and gracefully bring these gift to others.</p>
<p>So I ask you to take a look at any of the areas you are struggling in your business (from getting more clients, to connecting more with colleagues, being paid well and consistently, to creating your niche). Here&#8217;s where you get to work your magic. Look at these areas with gentleness and curiosity, as you would another. What is the struggle telling you? Are there areas you need to let go of, things you need to do less of, more support needed, clear direction, less confusion? What does the struggle what you to know?</p>
<p>I like to use my art and ask the question and see what is revealed. Often using the art allows me to get in touch with thoughts and feelings I was even unaware of.</p>
<p>When you become aware of the struggle, you can make changes.</p>
<p>So ask yourself after doing this exercise, &#8220;What&#8217;s next&#8221;?</p>
<p>Then allow yourself to truly listen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know so many people are in a state of change now, in their lives and in their work. There is a shift of exposing areas of your life you may have tried to keep hidden, those areas that are hurt, vulnerable, and fear filled. You are being called to move gently through this process and to play so much bigger in your life. Whatever fear that has kept you from taking a step into the possibilities of your future, whatever doubts, and worries that have kept  you playing small and kept you from helping many more people, whatever theses feelings and beliefs are- it&#8217;s time to let go.</p>
<p>I recored this call with the intention you would receive a gift by listening to it, and you would discover the truth for you. If you are feeling called to transform your life and business from a place of connecting with spirit, then I invite you to listen to this heartfelt call.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the recording. <a style="line-height: 1.2em; text-decoration: none; color: #003399; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" href="http://www.AttendThisEvent.com/?eventid=10876035" target="_blank"><span id="lw_1263828113_0" style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;">http://www.AttendThisEvent.com/?eventid=10876035</span></a></p>
