Make Your Fabulous Project Happen

 Be Free and Soar

Be Free and Soar (prints available here, cards here)

Now that the kids are back in school and back-to-work routines are settling, is it time to dust off that fabulous project you want to bring to life?

You know, the one that's been calling you for a while? The one that makes your heart skip a beat when you think about it, but just hasn't seen the light of day yet?

It's OK. You've been busy; it was that time of year, and before that it was summer. But now...

Now maybe you have a little more time on your hands. Maybe even enough time to start moving forward on the online shop you've been meaning to open; the new web site you want to build; or the kid-friendly gathering space you want to create in your home, before the holidays roll around.

Maybe you want to do all of it, but you're not sure where to start, or how you're going to make it happen.

Don't let that stop you. You don't have to have it all figured out.

Just start somewhere.

Start with one baby step, then another, then another... and watch it unfold before your very eyes.

Don't let neglected dreams and projects become regrets; your beat-skipping heart will thank you for it.

~~~

If you want extra support or accountability to get started, I can help.

I love seeing people take action on dreams and projects that make them come alive. It makes me come alive too! And I love dissecting projects and goals into baby steps - doable baby steps. Someone once asked me how I managed to accomplish all that I'd accomplished in a span of five months. My answer? One action at a time.

If you have a deadline to meet, we'll work with that. If you don't, we'll work on gaining momentum. Everybody has their pace.

It's not always about racing to the finish line; it's about making sure you leave the gate.

Take a look at the 3 one-on-one packages I offer and see if anything tickles your fancy. Yea or nay, give yourself that first step forward. Make that fabulous project happen!

Say YES to Your What-ifs + 3 NEW Planning & Productivity Packages

Ta-dah!

ta-dah!

After reading my last post, some of you might wonder how - or why - on earth one would quit a solid paying job with solid benefits to put one's self through such turmoil! But others, I know, are not wondering at all; you know why.

You get it.

You know it's about not wanting to settle, about being tired of feeling stuck. It's about answering the call to explore what's out there instead of constantly wondering what if.

It's about giving it your best shot even if there are no guarantees, because not trying at all would be too painful.

None of this stuff is specific to my wanting to create meaningful work. You might feel called to clear out the guest bedroom and turn it into a studio, set up a blog, or finally create that new amazing product/e-course/line of greeting cards that's been sitting on the back burner for the past six months, but for some reason, you haven't quite gotten to it.

Feeling stuck sucks, there's no need to stay there. You're ready to move on.

One small action at a time, give your projects and what-ifs the attention they deserve. When you do that, you'll feel better about yourself. When you feel better about yourself, good things happen.

Make good things happen.

~~~

I'm now offering 3 NEW one-on-one planning & productivity consultation packages to help YOU gain traction on your dreams and goals. Clarity, momentum, and gentle accountability is what it's all about.

Sometimes all it takes is that perfectly timed nudge to get you moving. Go see!

10-10-10 PROJECT

In its second iteration, the 10-10-10 Project gathers answers to eight business-related questions from eight  businesswomen ranging from the seasoned (30 years in business) to the newbie like me. (The full roster is usually 10 women - hence the name, but due to life's unexpected twists & turns this session will feature eight of us.)

Starting Friday and for the next few weeks, each woman will host one question on her blog that will be answered by all of us. It's a learning opportunity ripe with insight!

My assigned question is:

Make sure you come and see what these fabulous women answered. I'll be posting one answer daily as of this Friday, June 15th.

For the full list of questions see the 10-10-10 Website.

GET CLEAR, GET MOVING CONSULTATION SESSIONS

For the past few weeks I've been working with brave volunteers beta testing my Get Clear, Get Moving consultation process and it's been so good! Here's what brave tester Shari had to say:

Seriously. How cool is that? I love, love, LOVE seeing people gain traction on their dreams.

I see a launch in the near future for Get Clear, Get Moving consultation packages. Stay tuned...
