Big hugs from me this early morning . I just wanted to quickly touch base with you all share with you the benefits of joining a Tribe.

What do I mean by that you say. Well as part of being a solo entrepreneur, marketing yourself or getting yourself “out” there is really important. For me it was sooo hard to do that especially when I went to networking events that were all suits and felt quite aggresive and fake to me.  I walked away from those events with a handful of business cards and could not even remember the persons face by the time I got back to my car.

Just recently I have become a leader for The Red Tent Women events. These events are such the polar opposite of what the “traditional” power networking events were, and the first being they are held for women only and in the leaders homes. My first event I was a guest at and I went all by myself. I was greeted at the door with a hug, and that started the night off just perfectly.  The women that attended were so open, caring, intuitive, funny and were all small business owners like myself. We shared our challenges, our wins and Ludwina Dauvotic (the Founder) was interviewed which just blew me away.

I had to be involved so I joined and then became a leader. For me it was just like another Goddess playshop in some respects because it was all women supporting each other, having fun and learning all be it this was about our Businesses.

Have a look at what networking groups you currently belong to and if they are serving you. We can no longer sit at home behind our computers and rely just on facebook to build our business relationships. Its only one media type and it helps to have more than just one on the go .

The face to face contact is truly amazing and I have built not just business relationships but true friendships. And who do better to play in business with – your friends.

If you want to know more about The Red Tent Events and if there are some in your area click on the banner.  There are lots of different networking events, find what suits you and your needs and play play play.

Manifesting wealth and abundance

Manifesting wealth and abundance begins from within. You have to appreciate what you have in your life already – your family, friends, and job – instead of focusing on what you wish you had.

Often people waste precious time thinking about what they don’t have. They start to believe their lives will improve if only they had more money, or more friends, or more gadgets. They think about what’s lacking instead of the abundance that is already overflowing into their life.

Positive Thinking Brings Abundance

If you appreciate what you have, you’ll be inspired to take the necessary actions to bring more of what you want into your life. From a practical point of view, this all starts with living happily with what you have.

Now at first, this may sound rather counterproductive, but living happily with what you have doesn’t mean you’re completely satisfied and fulfilled. It simply means that you appreciate all the good parts of your life, and you recognize that you can take those things you have, even if they are few, and build upon them.

Very often we take our lives for granted and forget to give thanks for all that is good. If you’re having a tough time recognizing the goodness in your life, then make a gratitude list and continue adding to it everyday. For example:

•  Be thankful when paying the rent because this means you have a place to sleep.
•  Be thankful for your winter coat because you’ll stay warm this winter.

•  Be thankful for your family because of their love, support and guidance you.
•  Be thankful for your job because it has allowed you to provide for your family.

If you can be happy with what you have now, you’ll have a deeper appreciation for the better circumstances that are coming to you in your future. Just imagine how much more you’ll appreciate your eventual move to a large home with a spacious property if you begin to enjoy your current humble place.

Keeping Up with the Neighbors

Remember, the term “wealth” doesn’t only relate to money. You can be wealthy by having a loving family who visits often or friends who care for you like one of their own. There’s much more to life than who has the latest designer purse or fanciest sports car in the neighborhood.

If you constantly compare yourself to your neighbor, based solely on material possessions, you may not fully understand what your neighbor’s life is like. He may appear wealthy with his BMW, but perhaps he is suffering in his personal life. Be very careful making judgments about others because you never truly know what’s going on behind closed doors. Material possessions alone do not make an abundant life.

First Steps Toward Wealth

When you don’t have a lot of material possessions and monetary wealth, it ironically becomes easier for you to learn how to save money. Saving money is paramount if you want to build monetary wealth, but in order to do so, you have to learn how to delay gratification. That means you must make sure you’re making more money than you’re spending. Ideally you want to pay for everything you have, not finance it – without truly owning your possessions and going into debt, you’re actually moving farther away from wealth.

Besides saving money, the real way to build wealth is to make more money. That may sound rather obvious, but too many people aren’t making the money they can and should. You have to make the conscious decision to get unstuck from your dead-end job and the rat race.

You have to rise above the crowd and do something different. That may mean you have to discover creative ways for you to make more money. For many people today, that may mean getting involved in a virtual office or an Internet-based business, but whatever the case might be for you, you can elevate yourself.

If you’re unhappy with the money you’re making, you have to starting thinking about ways to increase the amount of money you make so you can realize your dreams. Now go get started Goddess Sistar !!

Has been way too long since my last blog – but now I am back. And what better day to start back than on this magical Sunday where the sun is shining.

Today I realised what a busy schedule the next few weeks are going to be leading up to me going to Phoenix Arizona – YES ARIZONA yeeha.

I am super excited (can you tell) as I am going to a Life Purpose summit by Baeth Davis. I received my Life Purpose reading on Thursday and it made so much sense to me of what I am here to share.  When I go to Arizona we will be exploring that even more, and working out how to put into your business and take it out into the world.

It is still sinking in for me (my life purpose) and it was more of a confirmation of why I have created what I have already created and drawn in. So as I am taking it easy today and just being joyful and full of bliss.  What are you doing today that will fill your heart full of joy? Enjoy this special day.

How to Achieve an Abundance of Wealth

Do you truly believe that it’s possible to achieve the financial prosperity you deserve? There’s no one set way to achieve an abundance of wealth; all you must do is find your personal path. Every path to personal wealth, however, begins with the right frame of mind.

A Wealthy Mindset

A positive mindset is the most vital part of any plan for financial success. Before you can succeed in the world, you must see the success you seek in your mind’s eye and believe you can achieve it.

One way to develop this mindset is to study what other wealthy people do. If possible, set up a meeting with someone you look up to. Ask about the steps they took to get to where they are today. You’ll likely find that they’re an ordinary person who took some specific actions that led to their success. If you take those steps, you can enjoy the same success.

Plan For Success

If you have no idea where to begin, start by brainstorming ideas about practical ways to increase your income. Read books about inspiring entrepreneurs. Find business people in your community who can mentor you. Learn from those who have gone before you and found the success you seek.

If you have an idea about a business venture or additional income stream, brainstorm the next small steps you can take that will lead you in the direction of your dreams. What small step could you take today that will move you closer to your goal? How about tomorrow, and the next day?

Set clear goals and write them down. Plan out each small step and set a realistic timeframe to accomplish it. Get moving toward your goal by achieving something small each day. If you do, you’ll create unstoppable momentum that almost guarantees your success.

Be Flexible When Things Go Wrong

Things aren’t always going to go according to plan. Things will go wrong, but your response to the obstacles you face will determine your level of financial success. If you miss a deadline you’ve set or your results disappoint you, simply notice what’s working and what isn’t. Change your approach until you get what you want.

Grow Your Wealth

As your income begins to grow, alter your plans so you can experience greater financial prosperity. As you near the completion of each goal on your list, set a more exciting goal to replace it. This approach will help you to grow both financially and mentally.

Continue to challenge yourself. Celebrate each success along the way, but keep moving forward. Set goals for promotion in your career, sales in your business, and money in your bank account. Remember to set personal goals, too. Financial prosperity is worth little without a balanced life that allows you to enjoy that prosperity.

Listen to the Right People

Have you ever notice how people are quick to give advice about everything? Only listen to people who are experiencing more financial prosperity than you are. Why would you trust the advice of someone who’s broke? This is true in every area of life. Why take parenting advice from people without kids? Or job advice from someone who’s perpetually unemployed?

The people with the wisest advice are the ones who have practical experience that has led to success. If you can imitate what they’ve done, you’ll likely achieve similar results.

Most importantly, keep pursuing your financial dreams no matter what. If you set effective goals, envision your success, find wise mentors, and keep taking action, you’ll experience the financial independence you deserve.

One of the most powerful phrases in the English language is “thank you.”

With those two words, you can express appreciation for a kind gesture or service someone has done for you. These words have the power to make someone’s day. When you want to go the extra mile in expressing gratitude, try one of these 13 ways to say “thanks.”

Try these gratitude expressions to get you going:

1. Smile. Express your gratitude with a smile and the other person will almost always smile back. If that person is having a bad day, a smile could be just the thing that turns their day around.

2. Send a note. If you’re shy, you may find it easier to express yourself in writing. If writing intimidates you, simply write a short note expressing your gratitude. Your heartfelt words will mean more to the recipient than the most beautiful prose or poetry.

3. Buy a unique gift. Look for a small item that you can give as a token of your appreciation. If you’re unsure of what to get, try buying them coffee or sending them chocolates. You can also ask their friends for ideas.

4. Invite them out. Say “thank you” with a dinner or time together doing something fun that you both enjoy.

5. Share your story. Brag to others about what someone has done for you. They’ll likely hear about how highly you’re speaking of them. Better yet, brag about them to others in front of them. This will improve their reputation and their confidence at the same time.

6. Offer a favor. Let the person choose what kind of favor they’d like from you. A small favor can often help someone out in a big way.

7. Buy them a ticket to an event. Find a local concert or show that they would enjoy and buy them tickets.

8. Contribute to a charity. Find out what your recipient is passionate about and then make a donation to an appropriate charity in their name.

9. Add a personal touch. Say “thank you” with a homemade gift. The person will recognize your thoughtfulness and appreciate the gesture. You can hand craft a card or make a photo slideshow. Create something sentimental that truly shows your appreciation.

10. Phone call. Sometimes a simple phone call is all you need to get your message across. In addition to a phone call to say “thank you,” call on a regular basis to see how they’re doing. Offer your friendship.

11. Give them a “Gift of the Month.” For someone who’s always doing nice things for you, consider a gift subscription to their favorite magazine. You can also prepay for a subscription to a “book of the month” club that features books that interest them.

12. Give a gift certificate. If you’re having trouble figuring out the perfect thank you gift, consider a gift certificate to a local mall or online store that sells a variety of different merchandise. That way, they’re sure to get something they like.

13. Bake some biscuits/cookies. If you love to bake, your talents can be a sweet way to show your gratitude. Everyone appreciate delicious, homemade desserts.

The only limit is your imagination. If you go the extra mile to show someone you’re genuinely grateful, the gesture will be remembered for a long time to come. Strengthen a significant relationship in your life today. Choose one of these ideas or come up with your own, and say “thank you” to someone special in a meaningful way.
