I am so excited to announce that we have launched a *FREE* Visioning Group for business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs over at SelfMarketing.US and the first meeting is tonight at 7pm Pacific.

Visioning is a super cool process where you tap into Universal Mind.  It is also a practice that  deepens over time as you train yourself to open up to see what the Universe has in store for you and your business.

You see, we have a tendency to limit what is possible for ourselves and our businesses.  It’s simply human nature.  But, there is an Intelligence that knows no limits and it consistently asking to grow itself through you.  Just thinking about the fact that my business is an expression of the Divine makes my heart sing and my face light up.  Fear goes right out the window because how can I screw up if I am following a Divine path.  I might have the capacity to “screw up,” but Spirit doesn’t!

If you want more of this kind of inspiration and energy in your business, then join us on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of every month from 7 – 8 pm Pacific.  We meet over the phone & you can get the call-in number and passcode by entering your name & email on this page.

See you tonight ~
Cassandra

I’m loosening up.  Letting go.  And softening my thinking.

Now I can hear myself say things like…it’s okay to be in a funk.  I’m not going to be here forever.  There’s gold to be harvested here.  I will eventually return to joy, excitement and enthusiasm.  It is inevitable!

As part of my journey back to the True Me, I thought it would be fun to sit down and write a letter from my Soul.  As it turns out, it is a love note for whenever you are on the brink of greatness but are holding yourself back.  It is for those moments when you need a good dose of inspiration, courage, and love as you step into the unknown territory of your dreams come true.

So whenever you feel like crawling back into bed and putting the covers over your head.  Don’t.  Instead read this letter and choose courage anew…

3. 13 Principles for Attracting Unlimited Success

A couple years ago, I was barely paying the rent with my income as a coach. I was ashamed to show my husband my numbers, heck I didn’t even want to add up my income each month because my dollar amounts were not what I wanted them to be.

The truth was… I wasn’t telling myself or my husband the total truth about my financial situation, instead I was caught in shame and self doubt, and that was taking a toll on me emotionally.

You have to know where you are in order to get where you want to go.

My husband began to get worried every time I would spend money on something we didn’t absolutely need. I began to feel that he didn’t trust me with money and I doubted my ability to be successful.

This is no way to build a business.

I decided I had to do something differently, I was ready to tell the truth, let go of the shame and do whatever I had to do to build my business.

One night after dinner I took a deep breath and dove in to my records. I added up every bit of income I had received over the past 6 months, and every expense. I wrote it all down neatly in a notebook (Loral Langemeier once told me it’s fine to start with a notebook!) I may not have had fancy excel sheets like my husband, but I had the actual numbers, and I had goals.

Then, with trembling hands and a shaking voice, I sat down and showed my numbers to my husband. Talk about feeling a naked vulnerability.

I have to say here- I’m married to a Saint of a man, and I do not take this for granted. He was kind and compassionate, he watched me lovingly as I told him all the feelings I’d been carrying around and held me while I cried. He’s on entrepreneur too, and with both of our fluctuating incomes, we know what it’s like to be in debt. We decided it was time to look closely at all the facts, together, be a team, look at our numbers and set some real goals.

Bottom line, I stopped running from scary and mysterious numbers and I turned to face the truth

The black cloud of fear and scarcity that had been following me around began to dissipate. I got into action, I got more clients in my business and I began to feel empowered and … powerful!

Interestingly enough, the following month I broke $5000 in monthly income for the first time ever, which had been a goal since I graduated from coaching school!!

And you know what they say… The seed of manifestation lies deep in the fruit itself, small successes lead to bigger successes.

So right now take a moment to:

1. Look at the ABSOLUTE truth of where you’re at with your financial situation. Write down the facts, even if they’re hard to face.
2. Breathe.
3. Set some realistic Goals, use what you know and start promoting yourself, offering your services and/ or getting clients.
4. Write some action steps into your calendar now. Being in action is the most empowering thing you can do when it comes to money. You can do it, don’t overthink it… just GO!

And be gentle with yourself, have patience and faith. For us heart centered folks, the financial side of things is NOT always the part that comes intuitively. But I speak from experience when I say that exchanging my purposeful gifts of service for a sustainable income is the most fulfilling journey I’ve ever embarked on. And I come from a long line of public school teachers, there wasn’t an Entrepreneurial bone in my body until a few years ago… Believe me, if I can do it, you can too.

Don’t miss Reverend Deborah’s call on Thursday, October 7, 2010 she is my spiritual mentor and the reason I moved across the country to Santa Cruz. She WILL Blow you AWAY!!!

Love, Laura

3. I Have To Fix This Right Now…. Don’t I?

Last week I listened to one of the Women on Purpose telesummit calls where I heard Suzanne Falter Barnes speak for the first time.  I was really drawn to her because she’s all about platform building, branding, and niching which is exactly the area that I need support in right now.  In fact, I know that in order to receive more success I must claim my niche.  But, I keep bumping into my own brilliance and it’s time to receive support as I powerfully step into the next phase of my business and spiritual growth.

And this is where the Spiritual Marketing Quest comes in.

Suzanne (along with her business partner Jeffrey Van Dyke whom I love!) are hosting a 3 day business & spiritual transformational workshop/retreat/partay called the Spiritual Marketing Quest and I want to go.  No, I am going and I would like a partner to go with me.

And this is where you come in!

Let’s register together, drive together, room together, and support one another through the entire process.  Of course, we save $$$ by going together and I’m looking to receive more than a discount.  I know how easy it is to go to an event like this and then come home and do the same old thing getting the same old results.  That’s not going to fly for me this time.  Oh no!  In fact, the transformation is going to begin the moment we sign up because they are giving us a 5 part prep program that we can begin right away.  Woohoo!

We get to hold each other up while holding each other accountable.  What I’m talking about here is making a commitment to your development, your success, and your rock star business.  Are you ready for it?  Because I am.  Let’s do this together.  Post a comment.  Send me an email.  Give me a call.  Reach out and let’s talk.

6 reasons why I know the Spiritual Marketing Quest is for me:

1. I admire the people who are putting it on
2. Their style & approach resonates with my soul
3. I am ready for deep transformation in my spirit & business
4. It scares me a little bit, but there is more excitement & knowing than fear
5. There will be other special guests (power houses in the coaching community) that I want to personally connect with
6. It’s simply the right time & place for me to step into the spotlight and fully claim my success

Check it out and if it resonates with your soul, then please contact me & let’s talk about how we can rock it out together!

Seriously, the really cool thing about it was that I gave myself full on permission to just do whatever I felt like doing without any guilt, shame, or shoulds.  Whew!  What an awesome and light feeling.  I mean, how often do we really let ourselves off the hook?  And what’s even cooler (is that a word?) is that my afternoon was very productive even though I didn’t expect myself to produce anything.

It all started with a hike…

This little guy celebrated with me!

Then I bought myself a new journal (I’ve been wanting a new one for weeks!)

And I sat out by the pool to do my homework…

I created this gift for you – click on it to view the pdf & print or save…

Then I snuggled up with Gracie and relaxed…

While watching some tellie…

Ah…I enjoyed every single celebratory moment of it!

Are you in need of a little celebration? You don’t have to launch an eCourse like I did in order to give yourself permission to celebrate.  Just celebrate!  Because you are worth it and I would bet money that you leave a lot of celebration-worthy accomplishments uncelebrated.  You have some catching up to do!  Tell us how you are going to celebrate today.
