A Holistic Look at a Life of Joy

So, you've decided that something is amiss in your life. Perhaps it's your career. Working in that corporate environment where integrity can be lacking is wearing on your soul. It's no longer bringing you joy and you think you'd like to become an entrepreneur and own your own small business or home business. Self employment very well could be the answer. Unfortunately you've got a stack of bills that need to be paid and you'd really love to become financially free and experience ultimate prosperity. Did you know there are laws that govern prosperity? If you lived in harmony with them, you could really build wealth. Then you could buy that new car you've always wanted or purchase the home you've dreamed of owning.

If you could thoroughly grasp the principles of prosperity, you might even get into real estate investing. Hey, you might even buy a piece of Manhattan real estate. That area of the country seems to be thriving in spite of the collapsing real estate bubble.

Then again, life is more than just your career and money, isn't it? That niggling feeling that's weighing on your mind may have more to do with parenting your teenager or a loved-one who's a functioning alcoholic. Perhaps it's that you haven't yet learned to live by faith. Maybe you need a Christian coach. Have you discovered your unique mission yet? If not, then that's really the place to start. If you nail down your unique mission and message you'll live with purpose and passion. Then it will be much simpler to select the right name for your business and brand yourself in the marketplace. You could create a whole platform around your mission and your message and really make an impact on the world. Wouldn't that feel wonderful, knowing you're making a difference?

You could uncover your million dollar story and author a book or perhaps build a speaking career. You could have a whole line of information products and services around your unique message. Think of the impact you could make for good! All of it would be neatly packaged and marketed online via advertising, article marketing and promotion and visibility. Think of the fantastic customer service and value to the world!

As you bring all parts of yourself (spirit, mind, career, & body) into harmony with your unique message and mission, you'll be living up to the full measure of your creation and finding joy along the way.

The Secret to My Success - Listening to and Acting on Inspiration

A while back a customer conducted an extensive review of all my web sites. Upon completing his investigation he phoned me to say, "You have such a remarkable business model. I've never seen anything like it." I had to chuckle because I wasn't aware of any "business model" at all. If it was a business model, it certainly wasn't anything I designed by intention.

Rather, I just pray for direction, listen for answers and act immediately upon any inspiration I receive. The business model created as a result of consistently working in this manner was something Someone higher than me envisioned. I just followed step-by-step directions.

Now you may not be a religious person so my formula for success may not be something you relate to. But, no matter your spiritual beliefs, most people agree that everyone has an inner guidance system that if listened to will lead them in the right direction.

Small Business Expert, Sandy Reed specializes in helping small business owners incorporate this inner voice into their businesses. She's coined a term for it -- she calls it being a Soulpreneur(tm). In her article, "You Can Have What You Want" she says, "All that you've ever wanted, and more, can be found by looking to only one source - the one found inside of you. This is the source whose quiet voice you can hear, if you stop looking outside long enough to be still and listen. It can, and will, point you in the direction of your dreams - the ones you feel deepest in your soul."

In her article, she goes on to give 5 practical steps you can take to start recognizing and heeding your inner guidance system. I recommend reading her article and visiting her expert area designed to help you with your small business.

What about you? How important do you feel listening to "inspiration" or "intuition" or your "inner voice" is to your success?

The Hidden Dangers of Achievement -- How Getting Ahead Can Put You Behind

This is a great article on how to plan the future of your business. It's by my favorite branding guru, Phillip Davis: The Hidden Dangers of Achievement -- How Getting Ahead Can Put You Behind.

The Most Priceless Resource Life Has to Offer

There is one resource that I esteem more than any other. It's not money, it's not gold, diamonds or land. It's people - specifically people who hold knowledge that I do not have - people who are willing to share that knowledge with me. Over years in business, I've encountered key individuals who've given me ideas and concepts that made a dramatic difference in not only my bottom-line revenues, but also in the way I looked at life. Whenever I encounter one of these individuals, I'm always grateful because I know I've just received a priceless treasure.

You see, if someone pays you with money, you have your money and that is that, but if they pay you with knowledge, that knowledge can turn into ongoing profits that serve you indefinitely. Let me tell you about one of these priceless individuals who has impacted my business with his expertise. In one telephone conversation Phil Davis of Tungsten Brand Marketing gave me an idea that I immediately acted upon. This one idea doubled the revenues from one of my most significant revenue streams within a month's time! And it keeps producing month after month at a 160%-200% level over historical averages!

If you need help with Strategic business naming, branding and positioning , stop by Tungsten Brand Marketing . Phil is available on a consulting basis, and in my experience he always over-delivers... giving you ideas and insights that pay long-term dividends.
