Where is your focus for your business? Is your focus on who you want to work with, how many people you want to work with and exactly what you want your business to look like? Or, is your focus on what is wrong, that you don't have enough clients/business, that you hate the early mornings/late nights, that you procrastinate for your country?
Which focus do you think is the most inspiring? Focusing on what you want, or focusing on what's wrong? Which one has you leaping out of bed in the morning, raring to go because your vision is so inspiring? (Hint: if it's focusing on what's wrong, you're doing it the hard way!)
Reconnect to your vision for your business today, and see your enthusiasm soar!

Social business
On our latest teleclass, one of our participants found a new way to meet and connect with people - Facebook. This social networking site is good fun, exceedingly random...and a nice way to re-connect with old friends/clients and stay in touch with them in a light and easy way. It's not for everyone - we all have our own Natural Way (and if we were all the same, it would be boring...and crowded!). And there's a good lesson here:
You do what you do all the time - you don't have to put your business 'hat' on to go networking, meeting and connecting. Have some fun, connect, and serve...socially. And watch that approach fill your business.

Riding the Currents of Life
It's not as if the currents of life must be studied, examined, charted, explained, plied, or channelled, in order to be effortlessly ridden upon.
Besides, you'd get soaked.
The Universe
Let it be easy. You already know what you need to know, to have it all.

"The art of being yourself at your best is the art of unfolding your personality into the person you want to be. . . . Be gentle with yourself, learn to love yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward ourselves can we have the right attitude toward others. "

Love That, Hate That
Ever have a conversation with someone else in a similar field to you where they tell you how they get more clients and you go 'wow! what a great idea! I'd love to do that', or 'ugh! what a hideous idea! I'd hate to do that.'
Our assumption is that the things you would love to do are aligned with your natural way - like writing is for me. And the things you'd hate to do? Not so aligned with your natural way - like breakfast networking for me (it's not the networking part, it's the getting up at the crack of dawn part!).
Notice what other people can teach you about Your Natural Way. Instead of 'making yourself' do every trick you hear of, do the ones that you will enjoy anyway, the ones that sing to you. If you write a newsletter because you've heard that's what you 'should' do - it's going to be painful every deadline time, and possibly not the best presentation of your genius! Either do what you love, or change the parameters - eg evening networking.
Now that's better!

Y-levels:
The Y-level mid-terms (or mocks, if you prefer) are coming up soon. These exams will test your ability to be Yourself. What is your report card going to say? ‘Good on theory, not so hot on the practical’? Or how about ‘has the potential for magnificence, but buries it in layers of perfection, difficulty and trying’? The talk is all about the ease module, and how hard that is. Er…think they’ve missed the point – but you haven’t, right?! Good luck!

Clean Connection
What is the difference between connecting with people easily, and connecting in a disconnected way? One answer that often comes up is the expectation from the connection - being attached to the outcome EG this person MUST love me; or this person MUST become a client. It's rarely that obvious, but do a little noticing, and there it is - the expectation that this connection must work out a certain way.
I wonder how this would feel from the other side? Connecting with someone who clearly has expectations of you? Might it feel a little uncomfortable? Might you be a bit concerned about letting them down or getting it wrong? Maybe it's not that obvious, but you still feel 'something' is a bit odd about this connection.
Are your connections clean? Free of expectation and attachment? Easy?
