A NOTE FROM THE CATALYST
Can you believe it's Independence Day??? OMG - that means my next birthday is less than a week away! Geez, times flies when... :+)
Well, it's been a whirlwind month... I have been in a major creative push! Here's just five of the big things that I've been up to:
 1. I'll put the most personally daring up front... I made my official public debut as a buxom belly dancer (actually, the more curves the better for a belly dancer!)! In a former life, I was a professional ballroom dancer - it feels great to share this particular gift with the world again! The night was a total success - I had a blast and even made tips from the audience! (I spent my $8 carefully...) :+)
2. I recorded original content for Sound Wise Online (alongside some of my mentors) (not that they even know that - they're so guru-status...). Anyway, there are now three different audios coming up on using universal flirts to grow your business, how to have good business self-esteem, and intuition mastery to grow your soul-driven business. You can ONLY hear them at the SoundWise site... AND I recorded the content for my new upcoming CD - more on that when it's ready!
 3. I also videotaped my upcoming DVD product on soul-driven entrepreneuring with my good friend, Viki Viertel. I'm SO excited about this project... I felt like a rockstar - hair, make-up, lights, camera, action! We're in post-production now - I can't wait to tell you more when it's time. I had the pleasure of hanging with other powerful entrepreneurs while there - like copy queen Lorrie Morgan-Ferraro and trademark attorney Cheryl Hodgson. And check out my new look... Lisa Manyon and I were playing paparazzi on the main soundstage for each other in our downtime!
4. I completed the design of my new meditational card deck for soul-driven entrepreneurs - a dream of mine for nearly four years now! The big "reveal" for this will be coming soon... keep an eye out!
5. Another big dream of mine came true - the Catalyst Club is now officially launched! And WOW - what a GREAT group of people! We're covering all kinds of ground - from how to align your spirit with your business to what you need to know to build a website to how to delegate effectively... it's all about what people are talking about! (We'd love to have you join us... ) ;+)
YOWZAH! All in all, I have to say I'm dazzled with how it's all flowing and going...that's what happens when you're in alignment with your inner nature and natural gifts regardless of tradition or possible judgment (if anybody's judging you, they aren't your people!). My intention is that you enjoy the amazing abundance of your own flow through your soul-driven business...let's make this your personal Independence Day for the next power level of your business!!!
To Your Independent Success ~

PURPOSEFUL RESOURCE
Take a Faster Way to Wealth
The Chinese say there are five levels of universal dynamics that that affect your life: Fate, Luck, Environment, Philanthropy, and Education, in that order. You can't do a whole lot about Fate or Luck, so your Environment is the first place you can affect your life in a meaningful way. What's "in here" is what's "out there", and vice-versa. Believe me, as a professional Feng Shui practitioner for a decade, I have seen it over and over again... pay attention to what your environment is cuing you, deliberately set it up to support your success, and then pay attention to what you attract.
I put all my experience, knowledge and practical information on how to use the power of Feng Shui into one easy-to-read ebook: The Feng Shui Way to Wealth. To learn more about this book, and download your copy immediately for just $37, click here.
Remember, free up your environment... free up your flow for wealth in all ways.

SOUL-DRIVEN BUSINESS
Express Your Unique Independence
Independent: not subject to control by others, showing a desire for freedom, being enough to free one from the necessity of working for a living.
According to Merriam-Webser online, that's the definition of being independent. "Being enough to free one from the necessity of working for a living"...that bears re-reading, because that's what sums up being a soul-driven entrepreneur.
When you recognize that you are here for a unique purpose that ONLY you can fulfill, and really GET that, the small stuff won't be able to stop you anymore. You will recognize that you are "enough" just by being. It's not about other people, the resources that you think you don't have, the time that is never enough, the money that you don't have enough of to do what you want... you just do it anyway. Because you are "enough" to get it done AND because your spirit is pulling you through the eye of the needle to express your true inner nature - that's why each of us is here.
Who you are has nothing to do with the outer trappings of what you might think is important. By connecting deeply with WHO YOU ARE, you are tapping into source energy... and THAT is freedom.
By virtue of being a soul-driven entrepreneur (either established or in the making), you are already connecting with opportunity, independence and the desire to play with the universe in creating a life for yourself and the people you help. You are claiming your desire to live with greater freedom, to go beyond your perceived limitations, to align with a higher vibration of being in service to others using your natural, unique gifts. That's not work... it's living to a rhythm that a lot of people can't feel (and often can't understand).
Three Things You Can Do Today:
1. Complete this phrase: I know I'm successful by _________. The reason this simple sentence is so powerful is because this is how you can know you've reached your success. Personally, I have two of these that have guided me on a daily basis for at least the last decade (I recommend no more than three of these phrases for yourself, by the way). Here are mine: 1) I know I am successful by the degree of positive transformation that I facilitate in, through, with and for the people around me. 2) I know I am successful by the degree of independence I have in making my decisions in life and business. I guarantee that if you create your success phrase(s) right, it will have the power to carry you through the tough times... in fact, I'm happy to report that I'm living proof... :+)
2. Get rid of what's NOT you. So often we think we need to add more, learn more, be certified, etc. But independence are really about releasing what you are NOT. Feeling the unfettered freedom of moving "lighter" makes it a lot easier to gain momentum toward what you want. Whether it's clutter in your environment, old marketing messages or programs that don't reflect the current "you" in your business, or clothes that no longer suit the image you want to project, get rid of it. Give yourself the gift of moving through your life and business more freely.
3. Don't run from - move toward. Independence is about what you want to live your best life on your terms, and that is a much more powerful motivator over time than running away from what you don't want. If you find yourself making decisions from fear, scarcity, conditioned patterns, other people's judgments or anything that is negative, you're operating from weakness and diluting your ability to create what you want. Don't focus on the deficiency, don't build up what isn't working by giving it attention - decide what you want and start taking action today to get there.
Someone once said that the masters did what they do so well that one never knew if they were working or playing... take this as your cue to be enough of yourself to never have to work another day in your life. Make the commitment to manifest your life's purpose manifest through your own soul-driven business. Viva La Independence!
