Okay, so last Friday I hosted the first ever Simply Fearless Fempreneur Mini-Retreat and it was amazing!  Words aren’t even going to begin to describe how it felt.  Let me just say that it was my most successful event to date and has empowered me to take another step in fully claiming my Calling.  Oh I just can’t help it: Woohoo!

I was so inspired by this event that I put the whole thing together from conception to completion in 2 weeks including writing a 28-page workbook to go with it.  How freaking cool is that?!  I opened up registration for 10 peeps and we had 6 fearless fempreneurs.  It was so perfect.  I’m all gushing over here!  The entire creation & invitation process was all just so easy.  Every step along the way.  And then, we enjoyed a heartfelt afternoon of truth sharing, intention setting, meditation, and more.  Oh, and of course, we ended with Champagne Friday!  I poured us all a glass of almond flavored champagne and we basked in the afterglow of a powerful afternoon of connection.

Okay, so after the event was over I realized that I really wanted to share with you one of the most powerful practices I did to prepare.  I have never used this practice before and now I use it every day for all sorts of things because it’s so easy and effective.  You’ve gotta try it for yourself:

1. After you get in bed at night and before you go to sleep, dream about your vision.  See the perfect outcome in your mind’s eye and feel how amazing it feels to have achieved this accomplishment.  Notice and release anything negative.  Keep coming back to your perfect outcome and let yourself drift off to sleep in this magical place of dreams-come-true.
2. In the morning, before you get up take 5 minutes imagining your vision coming true.  Intentionally let go of any resistant thoughts and really allow yourself to feel how good it feels to live this experience.  My whole body tingles when I do this – especially my hands and feet.

Oh!  I just found out that two of the Simply Fearless Fempreneurs who attended the retreat posted reviews on the SimplyFearless.com Facebook Page.  Suh-weet!  Now you can read what others are saying about it too.  *Pause for Happy Dance*

Okay, back to the practice – this is one I adapted from the Teachings of Abraham and the Law of Attraction.  I did this every night and morning for 2 weeks and I know it helped me bring together the perfect peeps for the perfect retreat.  There really is something magical about aligning with your vision while you are in that half-awake/half-asleep state of mind.  Try it out and let me know how it works for you too.

I’m so curious…
What do you want to create?

For starters, the very first thing you will receive upon walking through the door – after a hug, of course! -  is a gift and I can’t wait to see which one you pick!  You see, each one is drawn at random and which ever one you choose holds a special message just for you.  It is meant to open your heart, mind & soul to get those creative juices flowing right from the moment you walk through the door.  Woohoo!

Then you will be refreshed with yummy snacks & Shirley Temples while you relax, unwind, and mingle with the other Simply Fearless Fempreneurs.  Be sure to bring your business cards, brochures, and fliers for our display table.  We want to showcase you and your business.

Next we will delve into the creative process.  Together we will co-create a safe, warm, and loving space for:

• Your Soul to speak,
• Your ideas to emerge, and
• Your business to shine!

The process works best when you bring a specific something in mind that you want to create, develop, or work through.  It can be anything like an:

• eBook
• not enough time
• marketing plan
• work/life balance
• website/blog content
• new program
• setting rates you believe in whole-heartedly
• confidence

There are no limits to what you can work on.  But, if you really want to utilize your creative power, then bring something specific you want to delve into.  There will be interactive experientials and we will tap into these powerful practices:

• Affirmative Prayer
• Meditation
• Journaling, and
• Visioning

So…what do you think?  Does this sound like an event that will soothe your soul and stimulate your creativity?  I hope so!  My intention is that everyone leaves feeling inspired, connected, and rejuvenated along with clear, actionable steps to keep your creations coming to life!  Prepare to relax, receive, connect, and create and join us on:

3. What are you doing to create the life of your dreams?

Yeah, well.  Today.  Right now.  I decide that I want my habit to be imagining the very best.

I want to fantasize my success.

I want to feel my very best.

Isn’t this such a different way to create?  And don’t you find it so much easier and sometimes seductive to focus on the negative?  I mean, we have been taught to “prepare for the worst” right?

But, do you realize that what you imagine about your endeavors is a huge part of the creative process?  Yup, it is.  What you see in your mind – even when you are planning – is what you are calling into your experience.  And don’t you want it to be the very best?  I do and this is one of the reasons why I am facilitating this retreat.

It is time to create from a new space – the heart & soul space – because it’s not just about what you do, it’s how you do it.  The thoughts, feelings, and attitude you pour into your creations serve as the foundation of your success and it’s time to line them up with your creative power.  Woohoo!

So as I prepare for our first mini-retreat, this is what I’m going to do:

1. Promise to change my habit of stinkin’ thinkin’
2. Catch myself every time I slip into imagining the worst
3. Take a few moments to imagine the very best
4. Congratulate me for catching myself

You know what’s kinda funny?  I’m actually excited about catching failure fantasies because now they are a part of transforming my life.  I mean, if I never caught them, then how could I change them?  Woohoo!

Do you want to tap into some of this power for your creations?  Oh I would love to have you join us for our very first Simply Fearless Fempreneur Mini-Retreat!  The theme is:

Connect with your Soul to Create for your Biz

Friday, June 25, 2010 at my private residence in Sunnyvale, California from 1 to 4pm plus *CHAMPAGNE FRIDAY* from 4 to 5pm.  You can learn more here or register right now.  It’s only $35!

Words of Praise for Coach Cassandra Rae

“When Cassandra talks, everyone stops to listen. She has such an amazing way of really hearing what you have to say. She doesn’t just listen – she hears you. That is probably the most important quality a coach can posses. But what makes Cassandra extra fabulous is that you also want to hear everything she says. Her voice is so soothing and her words are impactful, actionable, and insightful and you will find yourself wanting to hear more.” ~ radio host & sexpert

“Can I just tell you that I am the most confident woman walking on earth today? Really…your workshop reminded me to remind myself that I believe in me, that I am amazing! Thank you very much.” ~ corporate executive, mom, and writer

“Cassandra’s voice is as soothing as a gentle breeze. She reaches in touches your heart and invites you to listen to all her insight.” ~ success coach
