Clearing the old and bringing in the new energy – book review

The Key: The Missing Secret for Attracting Anything You Want by Joe Vitale

I have the not for sale version that Joe gave me before it was published so a few things like the foreword is missing. But I don't mind. The main content has transformed my life and my attraction. This is a MUST read. I've read this book so many times in the past few years and never get tired of it. It really never goes on my main book shelf. It always sits in my sacred stack next to my reading chair so I can constant re-read when I need to realign my energy. On a scale of 0-10, this book is a 100! View all my reviews >>

Book review: How to Sell When Nobody’s Buying

How To Sell When Nobody's Buying: by Dave Lakhani

My rating: 3 of 5 stars Just finishing this book up. For a expert marketer like myself, I found a few good chapters that provided a little bit of information that would expand my thinking. If you're new to marketing, then this would be a good book to read at this time. Otherwise, I advice checking it out at the library or reading the two chapters in the bookstore but not necessarily buying it. View all my reviews >>

Creating a Computerized Vision Board

By Catherine Franz

For years my vision board was kept on a cork board with push pins or a foam board with glue.  Honestly, I still use a cork board in my office and have two foam vision boards sitting in my storage room I can’t seem to throw away.  Years back, every December, I taught vision board workshops for two reasons. I loved hearing the participant’s creative laughter and the unique dreams being born.

A vision board is a personalized piece of art. The decoupage design normally represents a random mix of pictures gathered to represent what you want to attract into your life. It’s a story that can represent multiple segments of life or even be focused on a single area. The designer has the option of what materials to build their narrative on. Three common choices are cork board for its easy push pin maneuverability, poster paper for its inexpensiveness, or foam board with its sturdy prop up ability.

Removing Overwhelm From Your Life

I’ve been quiet the last month.  Only because I’ve been doing a lot of reading and studying on success.  Even though I’ve been studying this topic for the last 15 years, I decided I was going to jump in both feet and get to the actual problems and solutions.  It’s amazing how much information and opinions are written on this topic.  And in just the last six months.

During this time I’ve made a lot of phone calls to people I knew, authors and non-authors, those who didn’t follow this topic, and those who claimed to be experts on the topic.  I listened, and listened, and listened.  And took an enormous amount of notes and crafted a huge mind map.

The biggest, the loudest, emotional response was, “Overwhelm.”  Everyone felt overwhelmed.  Overwhelmed in the amount they needed to read.  Overwhelmed in their task list.  Overwhelmed in 80% or more in their life. 

And they pointed the problem to . . .

…the economy
…their company, boss, goals
…downsizing at work and now they are doing 2, 3, even 4 previously assigned jobs as theirs
…being asked to perform assignments they didn’t have the skills or knowledge for and had to learn on their own

That’s for employees.

Now, entrepreneurs responded but just slightly different.  They pointed towards . . .

Developing and Maintaining a Success Mindset
