Can you believe that today, Friday, March 13th, is not only a very lucky day but also lets us know that we are nearly 20% through 2009 already? Kinda puts it in a whole new perspective when you think of it like that, doesn't it? ;+)

In the last 71 days, since the beginning of the year, I've been pretty busy... launching my new DVD, the Keys to Soul-Driven Entrepreneuring, launching my new audio CD on Intuition Mastery for Soul-Driven Entrepreneurs (more on that elsewhere in this issue), Beta launching HiddenWaysToWealth.com (from which people are reporting some pretty incredible experiences), exploring the 7 Chakras of Business with members of the Catalyst Club, and now getting ready for the next Evolve Yourself, Grow Your Business retreat on April 7-8 (I can't wait to meet Gitte, who is flying in from Denmark so that we can work together!).

That doesn't even take into consideration the radio shows and telesummits I've had the pleasure and privilege of guesting in, nor take into consideration the classes I've taught nor preparing for teaching Feng Shui to Entrepreneurs through Quattro University nor my travels to see family in Wisconsin and friends in Palm Springs OR the local networking I've had the opportunity to do while settling into Austin life... I look back and I can definitely see where I've been - and it's just now nearing the end of the first quarter!

How about you? Where have you been so far this year? And where are you going to be in June - just a wee bit more than 90 days from now??? What do you need to do now to make 2009 your most memorable year yet?

To Your Soul-Aligned Transformation in 2009 ~

9 Secrets to Creating Positive Change

As a soul-driven entrepreneur, it's likely that you want to make the world a better place. And you also likely know that it all starts with you... as you evolve, your business evolves, you make a bigger, "cleaner" contribution and the world benefits. You, like the rest of us, have big dreams... and it's through your personal transformation that you have the power to make the world a better place.

So what does it take to transform the world? By creating positive change for yourself, you are acknowledging your power as a creator and being accountable for your energy (and results of it). In random order, here are nine secrets to creating positive change and transforming the world.

1. Align with what feels right for you. If it doesn't make sense for you, it's not yours - even if that's "what everybody else is doing" (or maybe especially if that's the case!). Use no one else's measurement in determining your goals nor your progress. When you are aligned with what is right for you, you resonate at the highest vibration for you and THAT creates positive change in exponential ways.

2. Finish old business or let it go. If you haven't gotten to something on your "to do" list for a long time, decide if it's really something you are supposed to get done. If yes, do it. If no, get it off your list (if need be, you can create a "parking lot" of those ideas for some future revisiting) - the idea is to free up the mindspace that those projects are holding and release you beating yourself up for not getting them done. That's valuable energy to create positive change!

3. Accept responsibility for what you create. And that means pretty much everything... if you aren't the cause of your life, you are the effect of it and that puts you in reaction to your life and makes you a victim on some level. To be a creator, you must own what you've created so you give yourself the power to create your future. If you don't know what your responsibility was, track back to where you own your result (example: the airline lost your luggage - you "own" that occurrence because you chose to travel in the first place).

4. Receive what comes in... be open and willing to accept what comes to you because you created it. By limiting, negating or rejecting what comes into your life, you are constricting the flow and emitting confusing energy as to what you want. If what you receive isn't what you expected, go back to your point of creation OR make a fresh intention with this new information as a guide.

5. Don't judge yourself for what was or the decisions you made in the past. If you would have known better, you would have done better (and that goes for the rest of us too!). Generally, you are your own worst critic, and say things to yourself that you would never say out loud to another person. Show yourself the same kindness that you would show a stranger and watch the positive change as it happens in your life and business.

6. Know that you are provided for by the Universe. Source energy does not let your good work go unrewarded, and creating positive change is an action and an energy that becomes attractive for new opportunities, relationships and resources. Trust yourself, and Source, that you are always provided for, even in the midst of big positive transformation.

7. Upgrade your energy sources. A Gulfstream 5 airplane doesn't run on diesel fuel... an animal doesn't do well when drinking from a poisoned pond... and neither does your positive change. Look around your world to see what is supporting you, and make sure it really IS supporting you! Maybe it has outlived its time, or you have different needs, or something has shifted - if this is the case, it's time for a replacement! Upgrade your sources of energy to support your optimal flow for positive change.

8. Forget perfection. If you are attached to being perfect before something can happen, or that something else has to be perfect before you can benefit, or that there are negative consequences when something isn't perfect, that can severely limit your positive change. Change can be messy in the middle - it's hard to be perfect when you're renovating a house! Think of all the pictures taken of you when you thought you were fat at the time - in looking back, now you see that you were actually lookin' pretty good, right? Be in the flow of change, and know that the imperfect is, in all likelihood, pretty perfect.

9. Detach from the form in which 'it' arrives. If you expect roses in a long, rectangular box, and you get a hand-painted postcard with a rose on it and are disappointed, you're probably going to have a hard time in recognizing and receiving your positive change when it happens. By setting your intention, and then letting go of what it needs to look like, you are actually giving it the ultimate freedom to be what it needs to be... and sometimes that is even more spectacular positive change than you could have dreamed of for yourself!

Through awareness of your own positive transformation process, you are being of the highest service in making the world a better place. So, make the world better, help a lot of people and create a big huge global shift by starting where it counts - with yourself.

Do You Want a Clarity "Click"?

Regardless of where you are in your business, whether brand-new or already established, there comes a time when you recognize that you feel a little lost, a little alone, a little stuck or a little bored... something isn't working and it's just not fun anymore.

Somehow, you've gotten away from your connection with Source energy and you aren't in the flow the way that you want (and can be!). Maybe it's a lot of little things, like meetings not working out or a never-ending to do list that needs prioritizing (vs. everything at once!). Maybe it's bigger things, like your marketing message isn't clear or you feel like you're doing all the right things and acting according to Universal Laws and it STILL isn't working... it can be overwhelming, frustrating and flat-out disheartening, to say the least. (And if you have reached a certain public stature and have a persona to protect, that makes it all the harder... how do you give voice to all your 'gunk' and still maintain your professional credibility? You have to use discernment in who you talk to about your own development...).

So, where's a soul-driven entrepreneur to go for support and strategies? The average civilian probably doesn't understand you, and often you spend time teaching the people in your world how to treat you, much less actually support where you in a practical way with where you are going with your life and business. And if you go to "traditional" business mentors, you're looking at a "longer-term" agreement - while what you really need is an infusion of fresh energy and a clear, experienced perspective!

You know the power of "the click" - when it all falls into place as you see what was hidden from you before, when your blindspot comes into full view. If you're ready for your "clarity click", just "click" here to schedule your session!
