Legal Blurb
You've got to admit, there are some pretty powerful messages in this book. If you
take action on just some of them you will see changes in your life. But let's face
facts. We can't make any promises because you are ultimately responsible for
the choices you make and the actions you take.

and the team can be proud of all the hard work that went into it.
You may be wondering how I became involved with this project? Well, as a Gold

Cargo Culture & The
Law of Attraction in
Action
Congratulations on opening this book and taking the action to read the wonderful
wisdom shared by our authors. This simple step shows me you are a person who
is open to welcoming change in your life and are willing to take at least some
level of action. Thousands of people will be given the gift of this book, thousands
of people will save it to their hard-drive in a folder called "Law of Attraction" or
"ebooks to read" or "success resources" or similar, but believe it or not, only a
handful will go that step further and open the file and start to read. You are one of
those people. So again, congratulations on taking action.
As I have the honour of writing the first chapter in this book I thought I would help
set the scene by sharing with you:
1. What is The Law of Attraction
2. The No.1 mistake people make when using The Law of Attraction
3. The simple solution to that No.1 mistake.
I'll also share with you some great stories along the way because I just LOVE
stories and I hope you do to
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com

Page 13 of 300
To really attract success into your life you have to be willing to take action and be
pro-active. This simply means that when an opportunity presents itself, or you
have an idea that will move you towards your dream, you put your whole heart
into it and take action.
Be warned though, if you do this you must be prepared to move outside your
comfort zone. This leads me to another story I'd like to share with you.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 14 of 300
I had to learn how to master the technology and how to do a great interview so I
wouldn't put people to sleep. That really moved me out of my comfort zone. But I
had another choice to make. A choice that would ultimately lead to success I had
only thought was possible for other people.
This was the choice I had.
1. I could approach women who were great at what they did but not very well
known (so I could build a reputation as my skills developed), or
2. I could aim for the top and ask the most successful (and inaccessible)
women, and just trust that the technology and my interview skills would
work.
The second option really scared me so, according to my promise to myself, that's
the choice I made.
The women I approached were incredibly supportive and I launched with the
support of internet "legends" which instantly put me on the Internet Map.
Because of that decision I have been booked out every week for well over a year
interviewing incredibly successful women, which means people who join
Wonderful Web Women as gold members have access to the most extensive
archives of the best internet marketing advice on-line.
This also established me as an "expert by association" which then attracted other
experts to me to offer partnership opportunities I could only have dreamed of a
few months before. So making the decision to push myself out of my comfort
zone resulted in attracting the opportunities I could never have attracted by taking
the easy path or just passively waiting for the universe to deliver.
The key here is; I imagined what I wanted (to find great role models, share them
and act as a catalyst for change for women all over the world), I had faith it was
possible and I took action on opportunities in a way that really pushed me out of
my comfort zone.
So my challenge to you is: Look at the choices you have in your life. Choices that
will move you towards achieving what you really want. Only you can know what
your own comfort zone is and what is scary for you. Now, make the decision.
When you have 2 choices that will move you closer to your dreams will you
commit to always choose the option that makes you stretch beyond the limits you
have always set yourself?
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 15 of 300
This is what I wish for you, as I know once you start there is no going back and it
just gets easier and easier with each choice you make.
From this moment things happen by itself, like the Universe saying "Finally! Finally she
allows her vision coming true!"
"When I created my site, I did not even think to already offer healings or coaching. I
planned to create a course or book for the future, but right now I started with reviews of
my most beloved self-development products with my affiliate links, plus creating free
articles, meditation techniques etc."
"Without mentioning anything about offering healings or coaching, my first client from
the other side of the world contacted me. Dear Margaret Saunders from Australia who is
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 16 of 300
a member here as well. I am working with her and her daughter since then and even
received my first testimonial on my site. It is just wonderful, and the work I have been
most passionate with, the more to see the wonderful results."
"The most amazing thing is - I have not even had time to update my site for a visible offer
of healings or did any promotion...but somehow people find me: just today I received a
new client request from someone from the Bahamas!"
"Well, that's really the Law of Attraction in action - actually we just need to start to do
what we really love, and the Universe opens the gateways to flood us with everyone and
everything we need. We simply have to take action on it and the success is inevitable."

'Connie Says'-- It was really great how that first interview flowed, we interacted well and
Charly was able to draw things out of me that I had forgotten I knew. I never thought I
would be able to get everything ready in time for the giveaway event and have everything
running smoothly but with Charlys help I did. I have a list now!
As you can see, both Connie and Charly had moved out of their comfort zones
and taken action. They had joined Wonderful Web Women, joined a mastermind
group when the opportunity was given to them, committed to create their first
products, take part in a giveaway event so they could grow their lists and face the
challenge of learning how to interview and create a product from that interview.
As you will see, Connie faced another challenge and doing so opened the door
for new opportunities she would not have foreseen
"We met in person in Sydney on June 6th 2008 for the first time and from there, our
partnership was born. Connie was brimming with ideas and I was looking for a way to
utilize my skills.
'Connie Says'-- I want to add here that I have had lots of ideas for a long time but was
always very wary to talk to anybody about them because a lot of these savvy internet
marketers are fast and furious in snatching up ideas and claiming them as theirs own and
monetizing them. For whatever unknown reason I completely trusted Charly and put all
my ideas out there in front of her, without hesitating."
"What can I say! It was at that point we both realized that not only were we 'compatible'
whilst being complete opposites, but that we interacted so well together that we just had
to do something."
Connie and Charly have since created a business partnership that is unique. I
like to think of it as the "Yin and Yang" of Internet Marketing
"Through this site and business, we want to help people not only 'overcome their
technology challenges' but to also ensure their physical and mental wellbeing. We are
devising a program that not only will you be able to learn about the techie side of the
internet that will help you either do things for yourself or make informed outsourcing
decisions, you will also be able to ensure that physical and mental well being is looked
after as well. So many people lose sight of the fact that ensuring all aspects of your life
are in balance means that you will be far more productive."
"If Connie and I hadn't met through Wonderful Web Women, this wouldn't be happening.
Thank you Janet for enabling us to meet and putting such a secure framework in place to
allow this to occur."

These are just a few of the wonderful stories of people who have made the
choice to move outside their comfort zone and take action that scares them. As a
result they have attracted into their lives people and opportunities that would
never have happened if they had been left to plan out a logical path to their
goals. If I had not made that decision to always choose the scary path I would not
have created the opportunity to act as a catalyst for change in these inspiring
people's lives.
You can choose to be the catalyst for change in your own life.
Good luck!
Action Box
So, what are you waiting for?
1. Imagine big and have faith that if you can imagine it,
it can be.
2. When you have a choice between the easy way and
the scary way, ALWAYS choose the scary way.
3. Be open to new opportunities and just go with the
flow. Often the winding path is the fastest way to your
destination.

My
Journey...Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia
Introduction
Im an adventurous person. I love to travel, learn other cultures by living among
the people, which is by far the best thing to do it. I take opportunities that come
my way, to find the truth and to learn.
I encountered set-backs, but the lessons Ive learned and what it did to my
personal being far exceeded everything else. Aside from the knowledge I
acquired, I became bold, a risk taker, a compassionate person, have self-esteem,
confidence and above all the resilience that I need in tougher times.
When I was in the Philippines, I heard so much about life here in the United
States that to live here is like being in heaven. I took advantage when the
opportunity came. I applied as a professional, 3rd preference. It took a while
before I finally got here but it was worth it. I was able to prove that yes, you can
live in heaven, but you have to work hard to get there.
Against the advise of almost everybody, family, supervisor, friends, etc. I decided
to go to Riyadh. It took me a year to make the final decision. Saudi Arabia is a
closed country and I thought it was an opportunity to live in a country ruled by a
King, render my services and live amongst its people. This article is about my
journey and what I learned.
King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, a world-class research
facility located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia employs 5,000 people from 40 countries.
It was through this hospital that I was recruited by Hospital Corporation of
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 21 of 300
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 22 of 300
The Flashing Arabic Names of the Stores were Reminders that I was in
Riyadh
Touring Riyadh at night was my first contact with the public. I was excited to see
what was outside the compound of the hospital. After our second day of
orientation, our friendly tour guide, an Egyptian lady welcomed us as we stepped
inside the bus. She introduced herself after all the listed recruits were inside. The
bus winded down a narrow street. The city was well lit and she described briefly
the places we passed by. We entered a shopping mall and the bus stopped. The
flashing Arabic names of the stores reminded me where I was. The shoppers
were mostly Saudi families.
Our tour guide announced that we had two hours to shop. She wanted to show
the ladies where they could buy inexpensive but good quality abayas. I tagged
along closely as she walked briskly through the crowded mall. It was easy to get
lost when everybody wore abayas and scarves. She entered a store and
exchanged pleasantries with the owner in Arabic. She waited for our entire group
before she introduced us.
Beautiful abayas of different designs and fabrics were displayed throughout the
store. After checking them, I picked up an embroidered silk and asked the owner
how much it cost. One hundred riyal (2.75 riyal/dollar). Our tour guide told him to
be nice to me and gave me a discount, she said, "fifty riyal". I smiled. I
remembered what I used to do in the Philippines. The merchants applied
excessive mark-ups on their merchandise, so we bargained. They continued
haggling until finally they settled for seventy riyal. I handed him the money.
We continued our tour getting in and out of the stores. Then we entered a store
whose walls were covered with golden necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc. of
different sizes and designs. It was quite a sight. Expensive rugs of beautiful
designs and shades draped the walls of another store. Some friendly salesmen
handed us free tiny bottles of perfumes. The two hours shopping was over. We
went back to the bus where the driver was waiting for us. When all the
passengers were accounted for, we drove back to the hospital compound where
we were dropped off individually in front of our buildings.
Jeddah, The Pearl of the Sea
Jeddah, the ancient Arab trading port, is a city of great beauty and often referred
to as the Bride of the Red Sea. After securing an in-country certificate from the
Personnel Department, I joined twenty one American expatriates for a weekend
tour to Jeddah. We left on a Wednesday after work. We had three male Filipino
tour guides. We took a van to the airport. The flight to Ahba was 45 minutes.
Thursday, we had a Swiss Buffet Breakfast at the Al Bouhaira restaurant. We
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 23 of 300
met other American expatriates from other cities. Then two hotel vans took us for
a tour of Old Jeddah. Unlike being in public in Riyadh, the women were not
required to wear their scarves. We walked through narrow streets taking pictures
without any restrictions. We visited the Abdul Raouf Museum. There was a short
movie to familiarize us with the citys development while tea was served. Some
government officials patiently answered our questions.
The hotel tour guides carried lots of food for lunch. After lunch, we drove to what
seemed to be a continuous desert until we reached the horse stables. A British
lady who managed the farm gave us an overview about raising Arabian horses. I
talked to a lady feeding the horses. She handed me a carrot and told me to feed
the horse. I was never this close to a horse. The horse took the food from my
palm. Then I watched a guy expertly cleaning and changing horsehoes.
From the horse farm, we were driven downtown for a shopping trip. We were
allowed three hours to shop. We visited the Fashion Centre/Jamjoom. My friend
wanted to buy a nice abaya. There were lots to choose from. She tried a few and
found the right one. We walked in and out of the stores. I bought souvenirs. The
mall was huge. Finally, it was time to go back to the vans.
Seafood dinner at the Al Bouhaira Restaurant. Citizens from different countries
came to attend conventions held at the Red Sea Palace Hotel. We dined with the
American expatriates from Jeddah. They love the freedom they had. The women
were free to go anywhere without the Mutaween telling them to cover their hair.
Friday, Swiss Buffet breakfast at the Al Bouhaira Restaurant. Then off to Al
Nakheel Beach for those who opted for it. My friend had a stomach problem. We
tried to find a drug store. It was a weekend so most of the stores were closed.
Finally, we found a lady in our group who carried some medications for
emergency purposes. She gave her the pill. She felt better after she took it.
We decided to go shopping. A hotel staff offered to drive us to the mall. This time
we took our time. We went to different souks which were virtually found
everywhere. There were moneychangers, material, hardware, gold, silver,
antique and carpet souks. Colourful stalls bursting with daggers, incense burners,
Turkish-style coffee pots, copper-studded Zansibar chests, leather Bedouin
saddle-bags, etc. were displayed. After shopping we took a taxi back to the hotel
and just rested. This was our last day. We had our luggage ready for check-out.
The Filipino tour guides instructed us to assemble at the lobby and get ready for
our departure to Jeddah airport. The guides were there constantly helping us with
our needs. It was late when my friend and I were dropped off in front of our
building. I treasured this enjoyable and wonderful trip.

I arrived early. She opened the door. Gone was her black cloak and veil. I saw an
unfamiliar face but a very familiar voice. It was the first time I saw her face. She
saw my expression. She smiled and told me that females only wore their cloaks
and veils when they were in public or in the presence of males. One by one the
Saudi women arrived removing their coverings. Light complexioned, beautiful and
modern women emerged. They wore make-up, painted lips, polished nails and
beautiful long dresses.
Some of them were young, very friendly and introduced themselves. Some
voices were familiar because I heard those voices at work. It was a surprise and
a pleasure to see the faces behind those veils. They were very excited and like
most young ladies they talked about their dresses, displaying them, how they
were chosen, etc. Some had sewn their own dresses and were very proud of it.
Watching them I became self-conscious. Fortunately, some visitors were
American and British expatriates from work. I struck up a conversation with them.
Meanwhile, the Saudi women talked, made jokes and laughed at funny
comments. Gone were their inhibitions at work. Food, Arabian dishes, was
served. I was not familiar with their food but I sampled every one of them. They
were very good and tasty.
After the party, I left with one of the American expatriates. I commented on why
these Saudi women bothered to wear their make up, had their nails polished and
dressed up only to cover them. She remarked that for the married Saudi women,
they did it for their husbands. I took the elevator to my fourth floor apartment,
glad that I accepted the invitation and learned more about the Saudi women.
Action Box
So, what are you waiting for?
1. I encourage everyone to take a leap, go see the rest
of the world. Find out for yourself what people are
talking about, live among the people and see what it
does to your personal being.
2. I know that it takes resources to see the rest of the
world, especially with this economy, however there
are so many ways to learn about other cultures.
Technology is growing so fast and the world looks
smaller and smaller everyday. Gadget, internet,
television, you name it and you can see the rest of
the world.

How to discover the
business within you!
Have you ever wanted to start a business but you didn't know what you
wanted to do or where to begin?
You will discover the WHY, WHAT & HOW of starting your own business in this
chapter.
Starting a business is something that can be very rewarding and fulfilling if you
follow your passion.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 28 of 300
Step 2.
Take another piece of paper pick one reason that you listed in step 1 and then
underneath it I want you write down why you want it.
For example; I want more money. Why do you want more money?
Do you want to provide your family with a better lifestyle? Do you want to be
financially free? Do you want to make decisions on your desires not your bank
balance? Then go even deeper into why you want all the reasons you just listed
until you find the reasons deep within your soul.
Step 3
Now think about how you would feel if you already have everything you have just
written. How happy would you be? Write all your emotions down under each
reason.
Step 4
Once you have written down your emotions close your eyes and imagine you
have achieved your goal. Create a movie in your mind of your success. How
does it feel? What does it look like? How does it smell? What do you hear?
Doesn't that feel GREAT?
Repeat step 2-4 for every reason on your list.
CONGRATULATIONS. You are now beginning to use the Law of Attraction!
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 29 of 300
Step 1
On a piece of paper make list of all the hobbies you have. Include the things that
you currently do and the things you have done throughout your life.
Step 2
Make a list of all the things that interest you. You may find the answers to this
one in the television shows you watch or the magazines you read.
Step 3
Make a list of the kind of books you read or the websites you visit. By now you
might see a pattern.
Step 4
Make a list of times when you felt the happiest and the things you were doing to
feel that happiness?
Step 5
Make a list of all the skills that you have. Include all the skills or tasks you carried
out in the jobs you have had.
Step 6
On a sheet of paper draw a line down the middle from top to bottom then
mentally go through the tasks you are required to do in you current career, writing
the things you enjoy on one side and the things you dislike on the other.
Once you have made your lists or in other words completed a stocktake of what
you enjoy in your life you will see a pattern of what makes you happy and what
you are good at.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 30 of 300
Step 1.
Pay attention to your life and opportunities that you may be able to turn into a
business. Write down each opportunity on a piece of paper and place them
together in a folder.
Step 2.
Write down any ideas or plans of what you could do with each opportunity you
have noticed. It doesn't matter if you cannot see how you can make money with it
right now just write it down to get it out of your head and you can come back to it
later.
Step 3
Pick one or two opportunities to research and develop to see if this could be a
viable business. Don't worry if you can't find a business in the first few tries. Each
idea you rule out is one idea closer to your dream business.
Don't rush this process. If you over think it or try to push what you simply think
would work but you don't truly feel it, you may miss an opportunity of a life time.
If you are still unsure about what to look for just think about all the businesses
you deal with in the areas of your life. For example: I like to make jewellery. Just
with this one hobby I came across manufacturers, online bead shops, craft
shops, other jewellery designers, publishers, newsagents, book stores, courier
companies, Australia Post and many more....
Can you see how many businesses can come directly or indirectly from one
hobby?
Open your mind and your heart to opportunities and there will be more available
to you than you could ever use. Write down all your ideas and then pick one at a
time to test and develop to avoid the idea avalanche.
Once you are using the Law of Attraction it is time to add the missing
piece- ACTION!
You now have your vision of the future, your business idea and you can see
endless possibilities, you have to do the work to bring it into reality.
I know what you are thinking - WORK. Doesn't everything just come to me? The
answer is yes and no.
Everything is being drawn to you but you have to do the things necessary to bring
them into your reality.

It is like the old saying You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it
drink, that is an ACTION the horse has to take.
All you have to do is take one baby step at a time towards developing your
business and you will be amazed how quickly your dream becomes reality.
If you are doing what you love then it doesn't feel like WORK
Imagine if you loved to play basketball and someone offered you a contract for
$10,000,000 to play basketball. Wouldn't that be great? For some people this is
exactly what they do (and some get paid even more).
Enjoy this process. It will also work in different areas of your life as well as your
business idea. Remember you need to use the Law of Attraction and the Law of
Action together to achieve the success you desire in you life.

your
How do you feel about having your photo taken? Does it stress you, thrill you or
something in between? Do you realise how conditioned you are by society to
seek to fit your image into a perceived standard out there? In the appearing out
there, dont you find you lose touch with whats in here? Thats because you
have in your beliefs an idea about what is beautiful or not how you should be
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 38 of 300
and appear on the outside. That is disempowering. Your true beauty radiates
from within from your living being and experience. As you connect with that
energy, through guided awareness and connection with your environment, the
multitude of facets that make up you are allowed to surface and express
themselves abundantly the full palette of your rich emotional experience. That
is the gift that you are to the world. Abundance embodied.
When you learn to accept all of those bits that you have rejected, you put back
together the shattered pieces of your true self into a magnificent painting of your
sacred inner temple.
You are the embodiment of that temple. Your source lies within.
From a place of inner Abundance you create abundance all around you.
As you gently learn to love all the bits of you you feel the flow of your life force
regenerating in you opening doorways to your intuition and knowing to be
heard and expressed.
My vision is to empower women through my photography. Up until now I have
done this symbolically through my art work. (You can view my symbolic images
at http://www.ankya.com).
I am now being called to connect directly with women around the world who want
to free themselves of all limitation to living their authentic truth and embrace their
inner beauty and abundant power.
Transformational Photography has been born. With it, I take women on a journey
to connect with their divine selves their inner sanctuary to first experience it
and then to have a living memory of the experience in the photography. This also
includes Your Body Art Book of you, with quotes from your insights received
during the session, and a series of printed cards with your favourite images
printed on them to share with your world.
Your Body Art Book is a Touchstone for you a reminder to yourself, on those
days when you lose connection with yourself, of how beautiful you truly are.
Here are some things my Clients have been saying:
Our Transformational Photography session was a deep healing communion with
myself, nature, and my sister-soul, Ankya. We played with sarongs, leaves,
flowers, and the majesty of Bali and I unveiled parts of my body I usually hide to
Ankya's loving lens. "you are your own temple," she told me, and I knew it to be
true. I will never be the same; I will never look at myself in the same way again."

speaker,
Yes it was truly inspirational seeing myself through the eyes of Ankyas
wonderful eyes.
I think this is the very first time in my life that I have allowed myself to see and
open to the beauty within me. This was through the soft and gentle guidance and
encouragement of Ankyas voice that repeatedly said you are so beautifulI felt
myself for the first time going to the depth of my soul and the roots within
stretching up to the light and the love within me that is one with the beauty of
nature and one with my own beauty.
My experience of seeing the photos I wanted to cry with joy at seeing my beauty
shining out to the world and saying yes to my inner wisdom, strength, my
feminine power, my wild hair my natural being true to my nature, my
overwhelming sense of freedom yes, its truly me. Yes, I cherish the divine
source of love and beauty within and I own it. Its me.
Thank you so much Ankya for being there and giving me this wonderful
opportunity to appreciate and love myself through my own eyes for the first time
and saying yes to being me.

So, what are you waiting for?
1. Listen to your Intuition (I call HER my Muse). She is
guiding you to your truth and authentic self. She is
your future. Your new life. If your critical voice tells
you your Intuition is crazy, just test her out! Critical
voice is just scared of letting go of the known. If you
find yourself doing something unfamiliar to you, trust
that your inner spirit is guiding you to your highest
Abundance.
2. Learn to be comfortable with not knowing. The
SECRET is: Its OK NOT to know! Sounds crazy?
Its actually by surrendering into the Truth of not
knowing that you find your freedom. Wait for the
MUSE to speak to you. That is the way of the
Goddess.
3. Remember to Connect with Nature every day. A 30
minute walk on your own somewhere in nature will
always connect you with your spirit and provide you
with answers to your questions, either in flashes of
insight, or by learning to recognise the visible
messages from Nature. You will be filled with
Abundance.

How To Motivate
Your Child
You probably know that the words we speak to our children have a powerful
influence over the attitudes they develop, right? This in turn, has a huge impact
on their motivation.
I've discovered this is true, from infancy to adulthood. A child's development
of healthy self-motivation is modelled on what they hear and see, in their
home/school environment.
But sometimes, as parents, we get busy and tired. If only we had a few key
phrases to share with our children; a selection of empowering messages that
would continue to influence long after we've said them.
I have some good news. My personal research has uncovered "motivational
messages" that inspire your child to achieve success in learning.
Here's a selection of my "motivational messages" to share with your child, today.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 43 of 300
When you do, your child will feel accepted, loved and more motivated to try
in the future.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 44 of 300
This leads to self-confidence and optimism about their future. It can dissolve
feelings of helplessness.
Focus on effort, strategy and attitude. Things your child can control like trying
hard, practice, planning and organisation.
Respect your child's autonomy. Encourage your child to take responsibility for
solving their own problems. Involve your child in family decision making.
Assist your child to do the things they really love to do.
Page 45 of 300
Instead of seeing a page of sums for Math homework, encourage your child to do
the first couple then praise them for their effort.
As each step is completed, encourage your child's effort so they feel successful.
The focus is on effort, something your child can control. This gives your child the
confidence to keep trying.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 46 of 300
Show your child by example that it's OK to ask for help, by seeking help when
you need it.
Each child is different and every stage of development brings new challenges, so
there may be times when you need some advice and support.
Message 11 - "I love and accept you for who you are"
You can have a deep and profoundly positive effect on your child.
The messages you give them in their childhood stay in their minds through to
adulthood, and influence the way they think about themselves and interact with
the world.
These messages affect their willingness to have a go, to keep trying, and to
bounce back when things go wrong.
Listen with genuine interest to your child's feelings.
Treasure your child's uniqueness and most of all show them you love and
accept them for who they are.

Living With a
Perfectionist: Advice
for Families from a
Therapist Who is a
Recovering
Perfectionist
Recently I received an e-mail that said, I love my wife, but she is a perfectionist.
Any advice? Yes. As a recovering perfectionist, here are some observations that
will help you both survive, and even enjoy the journey along the way.
First, let me point out that perfectionists come in both male and female versions,
but it will make writing this much easier if I assume the non-perfectionist spouse
is male. Besides, I find that females are more likely to strive for perfectionism
than their partners, though the advice applies to both sexes.
Also, my comments can be valuable if your parent, sibling, friend or co-worker
hasnt yet learnt that life is a lot more fun and a whole lot easier when he or she
learns to distinguish between those things that are important to do well and
those that are not.
Lets begin with a few examples of what life was like before I learned how to tone
down my need to always be right and to do everything as well as I possibly could.
Typical would be a decision to invite a few friends for a simple dinner party.
Before I knew it, I would include twice as many guests and three times the
number of dishes I had originally planned. When guests offered to bring
something, Id politely let them know I could handle it all myself. However, Id
make certain my husband knew how much work I had put into the evening and I
expected compliments for my efforts.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 49 of 300
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 50 of 300
Does your mate often enhance her position at work or in social situations by
pursuing jobs that are difficult to do and making certain others know how well she
has done?
Does she tend to assume that you have high standards for her even if you dont
say so?
Does she generally hear any comments that counter her opinions as criticism of
her as a person?
Is she often impatient with her imperfections and do images of past failures
plague her?
Do others frequently complain that the standards she sets for them are too high?
Has she often postponed a job because she hadnt laid out all the steps needed
to do it correctly, then become paralysed at the prospect of not doing it well
enough and end up not doing it at all?
Does she frequently behave as though everything she does is going to be
inscribed on her tombstone?
If you start to tell a story about something you recently learned, does she often
make certain that you know that she is also aware of what happened?
Does she frequently complain about the incompetence of others, including you?
Does she seem to feel guilty about many things that other people wouldnt feel
guilty about doing?
Does she usually react to a simple statement of disagreement as though she has
been seriously attacked, even when the criticism is not rude, angry, or
demanding?
Notice that the questions above include words like always, often, and
usually, because there are times when doing things well works out fine for
everyone. No one wants to fail. Striving for excellence is fine and its natural to
sometimes want others to share in our pride of a job well done.
However, striving for perfection is something else entirely. It can get tiresome
having to continually praise a perfectionist spouse who lets you know that
admiration is required for all her efforts, who wants you to have as high standards
as she and who wants to control every situation. So if you answered yes to half of
these questions, the chances are youre living with a perfectionist.

Page 54 of 300
you are and recognizing your own struggles and weaknesses will help you
respond to the perfectionist family member with greater compassion.
Remember the importance that shame plays in your partners makeup and
be willing to talk about it: If you sense that your partners reaction to a real or
implied criticism by you or someone else is causing her distress, reassure her
that she is loved, even if she hasnt done everything as well as she, or others,
would have liked.
It also helps to let her know that you understand how she might react negatively
because of her experience growing up (assuming you know enough about her
background to recognize the seeds of her perfectionism). Unfortunately, we tend
not to discuss shame and other intense emotions, as Brock Hansen, LCSW,
notes in Shame and Anger: The Criticism Connection:
Talking about shame tends to evoke some of the sting of this
powerful and painful feeling. Many of our basic affective states
seem to have an infectious or contagious quality to them. There is a
universal tendency to suppress expression of powerful affect in
publicperhaps because its expression can be contagious. [For
example, terror, rage and mob violence.]
Shame and distress are similarly contagious, especially within the
primary groups with which we identify: our families. When we see
the posture and facial expression of shame on the face of our
parent or our child, we often identify and feel the shame ourselves. .
. . Shame motivates us first to hide, to avoid eye contact, and to
keep quiet, though the anger response that follows may motivate us
to protest. It may be that this contagious and uncomfortable
response to shame, even as a subject for discussion, is part of the
reason we do not talk about it.
Acknowledge your perfectionists accomplishments: If you are proud of what
she has done, say so. Withholding praise because she needs it so much wont
make her less anxious. And as she makes progress in working to overcome her
perfectionism, be sure to tell her that you appreciate her efforts. Becoming a
recovering perfectionist is a long journey. Recognizing she (and you) have made
progress opens the door to progress in the future.
Imagine you are planning a picnic and suggest she keeps it simple. You realize
she has resisted the urge to bake another batch of cookies, or stop at the store
for the perfect accompaniment to the meal. When the picnic is over, say
something like, Honey that was a great picnic. I enjoyed just being with you and
taking time to relax. I hope you enjoyed it, too. This gives her the space to
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 55 of 300
accept your definition of a great picnic and to know that you enjoyed it even
without the extra cookies or gourmet crackers.
Model an open response to criticism: It is hard for almost anyone to accept
criticism without an emotional response. And when shame and anger have long
been the dominant emotions in reaction to criticism, there is a tendency to
minimize whatever truth there may be in the other persons opinion in order to
avoid feeling those uncomfortable feelings. So it wouldnt hurt for you to learn
how to listen without anger or denial when others point out positions that oppose
yours. Also, learning calming techniques, like yoga and meditation, can be helpful
for both of you.
Be clear and concise when expressing what you need: Remember that your
perfectionist does a lot of guessing what you, and others, want from her. If she
has to ask, that means she hasnt been able to discover your goal by herself.
Therefore, make certain that she knows what you want and that you dont
want more than that. Let her know that if she cant do what you want, that youll
still love her. If she needs help, youll be glad to assist her.
Offer your opinion clearly and without anger: The benefit of being in a
relationship is the opportunity to learn from the other person. Yet you may tend to
store up resentments or be reluctant to comment honestly on a project that has
turned out poorly in the fear that your comments will trigger her shame and
anger, or that you will slide into old arguments.
However, if you are unwilling to address issues important to you and dont stand
up for yourself, you will unintentionally leave her with the expectation that, first of
all, you expect 110% performance from her and, second, that you dont think its
possible for her to change. On the other hand, she will find it easier to lower her
standards if you are direct, open, honest, kind, and polite.
For example, assume that you are going on a trip and are afraid she will bring
more clothes than she can wear. Also, if fashion is not your cup of tea, you may
not even notice if she dresses in the latest style. But you wont get very far if you
say, Its stupid to bring more clothes than you can wear in one week. Who cares
what you look like? Youll get much further with, I would appreciate it if you
would only bring enough clothes to fit in one suitcase. Not only will we save
money on air fare, but it will mean less luggage to carry. Besides, you look good
in everything. Just bring the basics and have fun.
Always present your point of view as simply your opinion, one version of the
truth. Also, be sure to discuss your ideas when there is enough time for both of
you to openly explore your different points of view and find common ground.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 56 of 300
Help her set a reasonable time frame in which to finish a project:. Unrealistic
expectations for finishing a job have tripped me up more times that I can count.
Sadly, when Im not through in the time I said I would be, I feel I have somehow
failed. The only failure is in my estimation of how long the job needs for
completion. With my standards, I fail to realize that I can only get the job
completed in the time I give myself if I have absolutely no other responsibilities,
feel energized all day, have no interruptions, know how to do everything before I
begin, and my computer doesn't break down.
Address the fear of abandonment: All of us, from time to time, may be afraid
that our spouse will find someone who is more handsome, wittier, and
accomplished than we are, and whose qualities may cause our spouse to view us
in less flattering light. Assure her that you will always be there, if you intend to be,
and that you are committed to making the relationship work. The more she is
assured of your love, the easier it will be for her to lower the standards she feels
she must reach in order to keep you from leaving.
Forgive yourself and your partner: There is no relationship in which everyone
doesnt make mistakes. We all need to learn how to forgive. This is especially
true when a person has been raised in a home where there is a strong belief in a
judgmental God. Fear that one has made a work or social faux pas is far different
than fearing one may fail in a final judgment.
In this regard I am blessed in being raised by a Lutheran minister, so I was taught
that I was saved by faith, not works. Although I have since left the church and
followed a spiritual path of my own, I am not burdened by the fear that I may not
be interpreting scripture the correct way. Today I believe there are many paths
to truth and I am glad Ive learned how to forgive myself by letting go of the
expectations and demands I had placed on myself that I should have been able
to do something I hadnt known how to do. Ive also learned how to forgive others
for not being able to do what they didnt yet know how to do.
As I often tell my clients, no one wakes up in the morning with the intention of
making a mess out of his or her life. We all do the best we can with what we
know at the time.
Learn to laugh: A spouse who laughs and hugs his wife when the gourmet
dinner she worked on all day is a disaster sends a message that he can still love
her despite her failed attempt at perfection. I can guarantee you that if you
develop a sense of humor, one of the contributions my husband makes to my
recovery, it will make it easier for her to resist the need to excel when excelling
isnt necessary. Laughing with her, not at her, will lighten the ground between
extremes in her life and in yours.

print that I might have said something more effectively, or if I left out something I
wish I had included, I wont believe that who I am at my core is flawed. My value
as a human being is not dependent on whether I do everything 110%.

Creative Marketing
(On a Shoestring
Budget)
The world economic situation isn't the best right now - but it's also got its silver
lining. As the saying goes, "Necessity is the mother of invention"... so creativity is
the means we can all use to become inventors! Many businesses thrive during
hard economic times; let's make yours one of them!
Repetition
And, if I may, quote one more saying, "Out of sight, out of mind" really is true
when it comes to business. Repetition is crucial for acquiring new customers and
for retaining the old. For obtaining new customers, a key to effective advertising
is product (or service) recognition. On the average, it can take anywhere from 6
to 10 times for a viewer to see a companys ad before they are moved to action.
Even previous and current customers need to be reminded of your business and
what it can do for them. Continual communication builds rapport and in turn,
loyalty.
Cross Promoting
Introduce your product to several different markets, gaining exposure to broader
amounts of people, as well as repetition to a number of them. Try to cross
promote through various avenues, traditional and non-tradtional.
What can you do to stay in touch with your existing customers and encourge their
thinking of you when they are ready to shop? And how do you acquire new
business?
Think creatively. Can you design some Viral Marketing? Do you have an offer
that can inspire people to pass it on? Can you create a game they can
participate in that makes them laugh or gets them so excited about the prize that
they have to spread the word? Even a coupon (in your emails or on paper) can
cause people to want to share the wealth. Make it really enticing. Consider
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 62 of 300
increasing a coupon discount for higher volume purchases. For example, save
$25.00 on a purchase of $100.00 or more, save $50.00 on a purchase of
$150.00, and save $100.00 on a purchase of $200.00 or more! Or a friendship
promotion - bring a friend and both receive a ___% discount!
Besides the obvious newspaper, magazine, and direct mail ads, which you may
or may not have a budget for, and when done well are excellent vehicles, but
there are other ways - free and low cost ways to promote your business through
methods already created and those that you might create yourself. Creativity
isn't inventing something from nothing, it's putting things together that haven't
been put together before or are put together in a new way. And in my book, even
if you invent something that happens to already exist, you still get credit for
inventing it in your world.
Lets work on your business and take a look at some marketing tactics that you
can start thinking about in a new way.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 63 of 300
The free bonuses can also be joint ventures. You can give away your own
product or better yet, a free product from another company and they give away a
product of yours; that way you each are getting your merchandise in front of a
whole new group of people.
Affiliate Program - Create an affiliate program where individuals and businesses
can refer your website. A trackable link to your website is created and will credit
that person or business with purchases made on your site that came through
those links (via email and/or website).
Ask for Referrals - Give ___% off as a thank you to our customers who refer a
new customer. Post a sign in your shop, on your website and in your email
promotions (more on this below).
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 64 of 300
Remember:
Creativity isn't inventing something from nothing, it's putting things together that
haven't been put together before or are put together in a new way.
All commonly used promotional tactics were once new, creative ideas. Would you
like to try some creative thinking? You may be surprised with the inventive, and
successful, ideas you can come up with!

or answer any questions you have, so please feel free to email me at:

So, what are you waiting for?
1. Take out a piece of paper, a pen, and if possible, a tape
recorder.
2. Open your mind to possibilities. Discount nothing. NO
JUDGING; many a fabulous idea was born from a
seemingly "silly" or "stupid" idea. We want ALL the ideas silly, strange, stupid and even those that don't begin with S.
We want vague ideas. We want ridiculous ideas. We want
the obvious and the obscure. Your mind will flit around.
This is when it's good to also have a tape recorder
available. Jot down and speak into the tape recorder so you
can catch more ideas as they flood by; even use shorthand
phrases, whatever you can grasp. Write down every,
seemingly insignificant idea. Carry paper and pen with you
to work, on your walks, to the movies - everywhere! Keep
paper next to your bed at night; the subconscious mind
loves that groggy time. Once you turn on your brain it's
pretty hard to turn it off. Ideas will come in the most unlikely
times and places. Jot them all down.
3. Be positive, curious and playful.
4. Use phrases like, What if and Perhaps ...
5. Brainstorm with others. (Dont judge them either)!

Barbara Simon
Course Junkies on
Detox
Are you an alternative health care practitioner, constantly looking to improve your
services to your clients? Or are you a professional who thinks you constantly
have to attend conferences or trainings in order to become the best in your field?
Well then I am sure you are familiar with a very common illness of that industry
called course junkie-itis. And may be you even suffer from it yourself.
Let me explain: My name is Barbara Simon, I am a Natural Therapist with 12
years of practical experience in this field so far and 3.5 years experience as a
teacher/trainer of Dorn Spinal Therapy. And in this exact role I have experienced
many times, that practitioners and professionals seem to go to some sort of
training, conference or similar professional gathering nearly every weekend.
Wow, that is a lot of training throughout the year and it got me thinking about
another very common illness, particularly of health care practitioners, and that is
no-money-itis.
That means that many professionals, especially running their own business,
complain constantly about how much they work and how little money they have
at their disposal. No wonder, they are spending it all on their training and hours of
conferences and fail to charge enough for their own services particularly after
having attended so much learning and education.
So it looks to me as if there is a very serious problem in the industry when we
look at those 2 illnesses. Or should I say when we look at the consequences of
those 2 illnesses.
One is that the junkies never have time for themselves which eventually leads to
all sorts of problems, health, social, mental etc. The other is that they never
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 67 of 300
seem to have money to do the things they would like to do, the reason why they
are working and trying to make an income, which again has a ripple effect I
suppose mainly on their mental and emotional state. They feel as if they are
working their butts off and cannot even afford to go out for dinner or let alone on
a well deserved holiday. Hence the reason why so many practitioners leave their
industry after 3-5 years to go back to a job they hated, but at least it pays. Well,
no weekend trainings they have to pay for involved there, isnt it.
Now when I start thinking about this problem I realise that the junkie-itis is the
more severe of both problems and that is why I want to go deeper into the
resolving of that problem, hoping to being able to help you make this new year a
more successful even though we seem to head into really difficult and gloomy
times. But in those times only the good ones will survive and those are the ones
that make wise decisions and know exactly what to do because they have a plan.
The first question for me is; why do health care practitioners and many other
professionals think they constantly have to go to trainings and/or education
seminars?
Is it really because they want to improve their services to their clients? Or is the
reality that they never feel they are good enough? Really, how much of the
content they learn in these trainings do they really use? May be 30-40%? And
why is that? Because it is impossible to apply everything you learn, it often
doesnt make sense in your working environment or simply is not required by
your clients. And if you dont apply what you learned immediately you forget it,
you lose it, and all the time and money spent on it is wasted. Just imagine what
you could have done with that weekend and that money that would have given
YOU some enjoyment, relief, relaxation!
It is a constant search for well what? This one gem? This one therapy that
makes you better than anyone else? This one service that your clients will love
and for what they will finally tell you and you might finally believe it how good
you are. But guess what, you will be searching for a long time and it will cost you
a lot of time, money and frustration and you might not ever find it. Because you
have to find it in YOURSELF.
If you cannot reach a point where you accept that you are a good practitioner and
that you are giving a good service you will never get cured from course-junkie-itis
and probably not from no-money-itis either.
So what can help you in getting to that most important point of content and self
confidence? From where on you will have more weekends available to you, more
money available to use for you or your family, more clients that come to you
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com

because you are a very good practitioner? Here are 3 steps you can take today
to set you on the right path and then you just have to make sure to really stick to
them during the year and dont get insecure just because Jane and John are
doing one course after another. Watch how much of what they learned they are
actually using....
1. Sit down and decide what you want your expertise to be. Really think
about what clients you want to serve in your working environment. E.g.
Infertility treatments, children's problems, diet, pain management, or
whatever it might be. When there are more than 1 area, write down more
than one and then rank them in order form highest to lowest priority. In the
end you really should come up with one area only. That means you will
become a specialist and that is what people are looking for more and
more. They want to be sure that you are an expert in the field. And that is
what you have to shout out with every kind of marketing and advertising
you are doing.
2. Once you have established your expertise, you know what specialist you
want to become, only look for trainings that will help you becoming even
better in your specialist field. Limit the number of trainings to a maximum
of 4 per year.
3. Create a mantra for yourself that includes praises for you and your skills
and knowledge. Use this mantra whenever possible. Write it down on Post
It notes which you stick around your house. Carry it in your wallet. Say it
loud various times through the day, start in the morning and say it last at
night. And to underline your confidence, put up your fees for your
specialised service. Remember specialists always charge more than
Generalist.
And if you are looking for the best training available in the field of Pain
management then you might want to have a look into Dorn Spinal Therapy
and meet me personally at one of the trainings I facilitate around Australia
and the US.

Parenting, the future
and You
So many of us undertake parenting within an atmosphere of scarcity and
deprivation and wonder why we never feel good enough.
What better place to put the Law of Attraction into action, than
in our feelings about parenting
In focusing on the areas that we, as parents, are not delivering and feel we
should be, we not only continue to manifest our failings but it gets
worse. Our children become focused on our inadequacies, what they are NOT
getting, and what they feel they are entitled to. What follows for parents can be
guilt, anger and frustration only serving to deepen feelings of inadequacy.
So, how do you raise happy, contented, resilient children who are also motivated
to care for others (including you) and make the world a better place? Well, you
begin by feeling happy, content and resilient yourself whilst being motivated to
care for others (including them) and make the world a better place..... it seems so
simple, so why do so many of us struggle with parenting?
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 76 of 300
every move and every sound. Your baby would be in bliss almost an extension
of the womb where everything was provided without thinking.....and therein lies
the problem. We dont feel motivated to learn to talk until there is something that
we need to communicate, something which isnt communicated clearly enough in
our cry. We dont learn to walk until there is something out of our reach. We are
not motivated to leave home until there is something we want that our parents
cannot or will not provide. Failing your child often enough can be essential for
their development.so perhaps youre a good parent after all?
Now of course, there is a balance. So instead of perfect, the ideal parent
is one who is good enough to quote Winnicott 1 . So what does that mean?
Well, a lot of being good enough is what many parents do everyday - without
even being aware of it. Some of what I list below may seem obvious, or even
easy, but many parents struggle with some or all of these and that is where
support, education, therapy or mentoring can be beneficial. So perhaps I will list
a few of these key qualities first, and then what to do if you are struggling with
any one of them.
DonaldWWinnicott,psychoanalyst&paediatrician(18961971)

the ropes. When the second child is born, they already compete for their
parents attention with another child and the parents are a little more
experienced. So we are in a different place in relation to parenting and
therefore cannot treat our children EXACTLY the same. And they are different
from each other, as people. Recognising and responding to their differences in
personality is a vital component of parenting.
Did you know that thinking and ruminating about your children
is an important part of parenting?
Many parents have children at the front or back of their minds no matter what
else is happening. Wondering how they are going during their first day of school,
or their first date, constantly thinking about them in day care, or when they are at
work. Being concerned about them when they are sick - calling them from work
to check if they are OK. Psychological theorists refer to this thinking and
ruminating in different ways. Winnicott 2 calls it primary maternal pre-occupation,
Bion 3 calls it maternal reverie.
Yes, it is so important to your childs
development, they have even developed whole theories around it, because
psychotherapists see the consequences of what happens when it is not there.
WHY? One reason is that when your child knows you are thinking about
them, they learn to feel that they are not alone in the world. In my
psychotherapy practice, feeling alone in the world is the source of a great deal of
suffering in my adult patients. So next time you are trying to work and cant stop
thinking about your children, instead of feeling frustrated by the conflict,
congratulate yourself on your parenting ability!
Communication
Many of us underestimate the power of the words we use. Most commonly, we
learn our patterns of communication from our own families, and because they are
patterns that we are familiar with, we rarely see them from the outside and dont
challenge or question their validity. The same principle applies in all relationships
and of course in the workplace.
Adding to the confusion, the same pattern of communication can be useful in one
situation and harmful in another. Let me give you an example of how the same
pattern of communication can have vastly different effects depending on the
context. To quote RD Laing (1976) 4

Last, but by no means least, make a space to love and be loved. In such a
busy society, this basic tenet of life can easily be overlooked. In our rush to be
the best parent we can be, the best partner or employee or business person we
can be, we tick off all the technical boxes of things we should do, whilst too often
overlooking that which makes life worth living. WHY? Monetary abundance and
providing your children with every material thing and every opportunity is unlikely
to bring you, or them, the happiness you expect if you are unable to give and
receive love. It is just as important for your child to feel you can receive
their love (through your actions and direct communications), as it is for them to
feel loved by you.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 81 of 300
come to terms with some inevitable limitations. Asking for help is never
wrong. We accept that we need mentors, coaches and teachers in our
workplaces, hobbies and sports yet somehow expect parenting to just
happen.
Perhaps if you have been struggling with parenting issues for a while you may be
wondering if it is too late to begin now. If you and your child are still open and
available to change and development, then change is still possible. Some people
go through a mid life crisis to attend to aspects of their youth or childhood that
remain unresolved. Child therapists will tell you that one of the most important
ingredients for successful childhood development is the parent. So, working on
yourself to feel better about you and how you relate as a parent, will create
a wealth of parenting enjoyment and rewards.
It is the Law of Attraction in action, in the most important job there is
parenting. The emotional development, balance, love, care and involvement that
you bring to parenting brings rewards that make it potentially the best
investment there could be for ourselves, our children and for the future.

You can only
measure the past,
you cant predict the
future
Use the past to point the way forward
We are the sum total of our past, but what of our future? Well, you can measure
whats happened but no one can predict whats ahead. Accurate measurement
though will give you a dim view of what lies ahead, and a dim view is better than
driving blind.
The advantage of measuring is it allows you to coldly observe how youve
travelled, what each turn and bump in the road has meant so that, as your
journey continues you can feel confident that whatever happens you will be able
to turn it to your advantage.
Despite what many people believe, most of us have absolutely no control over
what happens in our lives and the only thing over which we have some modicum
of control is how we react to what has happened. The current financial meltdown
is enormous so how come none of the big financial players saw it coming? If you
feel a bit trapped by the crashing piles of money, youre not alone, but how you
respond to it is what will set you apart.

From Rock Bottom to
Blitzing the World
Wide Web
Until my thirties I didnt know anything about the Laws of Attraction. I was what is
sometimes termed an 'Unconscious Competent.' That is - I practiced the Laws of
Attraction without realizing what I was doing. There are many others like me who
attract what they want into their life, without even realizing they are doing it. What
is really exciting is how much more you can achieve when you learn about this
ability..
Rock Bottom
After running Organize Your Life on my own for almost 8 years, I came to a
crossroads. I had some great publicity on TV (A Current Affair) and other media
and became totally overwhelmed by the enormity of what I had to do to keep the
business moving forward and cope with the growing demand. It was almost a
case of be careful what you wish for, because with two young children the
demands were too much.
After feeling like I was slowly drowning for a few years, I made the very difficult
decision to sell my Baby. The thought of going into business with anyone else
was completely foreign to me and too hard to contemplate how on earth it would
work. Too many What ifs
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 87 of 300
Unfortunately, Fortunately
I have people sometimes say to me Its so lucky you didnt sell you business or
you wouldnt be where you are today. And I tell them if it werent for setting
about selling my business I wouldnt be where I am today. It was how I found my
two amazing business partners Deb and Julie and got to still grow it as I had
always wanted to with their skills (ones I didnt have) to make it happen. Totally
meant to be in our book! There is always a silver lining you just have to look
for it.

and healing. They are used to treat emotional disorders such as stress, anxiety
and a wide range of other ailments. The oils are called essential because they
have a distinctive scent or carry the essence of the plant, which is what makes
this plant unique.
Essential oils can be used in many different ways. Aromatherapy is often used in
conjunction with massage therapy, acupuncture, reflexology and herbal
remedies.
You can use those amazing oils yourself to create balance, harmony and focus in
your personal life. In turn, this will help you to be much more successful in
business. Essential oils can also be used to enhance your relaxation or
meditation so you can visualize your goals more clearly. Studies have shown that
Lavender oil helps you to make up to 20% less mistakes while working.
(Charly comments ...) "You know Connie, I use Lavender when I have a
headache too. A couple of drops on my hanky really helps or if its bad, in my
oil burner whilst I get a nap. Does wonders!"
Step 2 choose your essential oils
Essential oils are quick and easy to use. You can start with just a couple of oils
and then gradually build up your collection as you gain knowledge and
confidence.
(Charly says ) "Connie shares some of her favourite blends with us in our
audio interview. They are really great and I cant wait to test them myself!"
Good essential oils dont come cheap often huge quantities of the plant are
needed to get a tiny amount of essential oil. There are various processes to
extract the oils from the plant. Distillation, expression and solvent extraction are
the main methods. Each of these methods has different subgroups again. This all
sounds very technical but sometimes it is important to know which method was
used because, in some cases, it changes the properties of the oil.
The most modern method of solvent extraction is using CO2 (carbon dioxide)
which is great because it leaves no chemical residue in the oil or environment
and does not heat the oil. However, it is an expensive method and very small
operators cannot afford it.
(Charly says ) "So this means that if we find essential oils that are extracted
using CO2, we should expect a higher price, but know they are a quality product
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 94 of 300
that is well worth the price tag. It also means that if the price is considerably
lower, the oil is probably a synthetic concoction and not the real thing."
Before you go ahead using these amazing oils, there are a few very important
things you need to know:
Never use an essential oil straight out of the bottle and put it onto your skin.
(they need to be blended with a carrier oil). A carrier oil is anything like
almond oil, olive oil, sesame oil or wheatgerm oil.
Do not use essential oils on babies under 12 months. With children under 6
you still need to be very careful. Put a drop of oil on their sheets, pillow case
or clothing rather than getting it in direct contact with their body. Do not
apply peppermint oil near the neck or throat area of a child under 6.
Do not use essential oils without qualified advice if you are pregnant, suffer
from high blood pressure, epilepsy or have any other health problems.
Some sources recommend completely avoiding the use of essential oils
while pregnant. We tend to agree.
Dont touch the oils and then the area around your eyes or your contact
lenses. Did you ever cut chillies and then accidentally rub your eyes?
Some oils are phototoxic they create a reaction when the sun shines on
your skin ugly brown discoloured blotches or a bad rash could be the end
result (sometimes those changes are permanent). These oils also make
your skin more sensitive to the sun you burn quicker than usual. These
effects can last for at least 12 hours after you applied anything containing
these oils to your skin.
To avoid this effect on your skin, these are the oils to watch out for: angelica
root, bergamot (unless it is specified as "bergaptene-free"), bitter orange
(cold pressed), cumin, dill, ginger, grapefruit, lemon, lemon (cold pressed as
well as distilled), lemon verbena, lime (cold pressed as well as distilled),
orange, mandarin, tangerine (cold pressed), yuzu (Japanese citrus fruit)
Step 3 choose how you are going to use the oils and get the necessary
tools
Now lets have some fun. There are an amazing number of ways you can use
your oils, here are some examples:
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 95 of 300
Any type of bath (whole body, hands, feet) use no more than 5 drops of
essential oil in total.
Shower Wash yourself first, then add a maximum of 4 drops of essential oil to
your wet washer or sponge and rub briskly all over your body and inhale the
lovely scent.
Massage or body oil mix a maximum of 1 drop of essential oil into 2 ml (approx
40 drops) of carrier oil. Only mix enough oil for 1 massage. The choice of your
carrier oil will depend on what you want to achieve. Some oils are light and get
absorbed into your skin fairly quickly, others are very sticky. They all have
healing properties as well. Go to your kitchen cupboard and have a look you
might find something suitable.
(Charly asks) "Connie, what do you use as a Carrier Oil? I like olive oil and
almond oil for my massage oils."
I also love almond oil and Jojoba, which is an amazing substance. The other one
that is really great is coconut oil (the organic version in a glass jar that is sold for
cooking). It is solid when it is cooler but becomes liquid at body temperature. It
soaks into your skin and you can mix a small quantity of coconut oil with a couple
of drops of an essential oil.
For children above 6 years of age and elderly people use half the dose of
essential oil only 25 drops of essential oils to 100ml of base oil.
Oil burner or scented candles to freshen up your room, office, shop, restaurant
your customers will be happy a shame we cant stream fragrances out of our
websites yet!
(Charly says ) "I love oil burners and scented candles. I really like the idea of
the electric oil burners though, no exposed flames near my paper work!"
I fully agree the electric burners dont get very hot and I have to admit, I dont
know how often my electric burner has burnt dry and stayed that way for hours .
The best thing is, it hasnt caused a fire and it is still working after many years.
Tissue or handkerchief just put 1 drop of essential oil and take a whiff
whenever you need to.
Light bulb 1-2 drops maximum on a cold bulb (make sure the oil does not run
down into the fitting - it is flammable), then turn the light on. There are rings you
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Page 96 of 300
can buy that sit on the light bulb and you put your oil into the ring. The warmth of
the light bulb will make the oil evaporate and gently scent your room.
Other uses for your essential oils:
Potpourris, drawer liners, sheets, linen cup board, coat hangers, bookmarks,
stationery and whatever else your imagination may conjure up!
Step 4 Enjoy the experience and reap the benefits
We hope we were able to at least entice you to consider using some of these
amazing essential oils. Want to know more? Go to
http://www.wonderfullawofattraction.com/gifts and listen to a recording
containing more useful information
(Charly says ) "I have always loved aromatherapy and using the scents to set
the atmosphere I need to succeed! Ive even converted my family to it now the
discussion is not IF we will put an oil on, but which one." Connie shares a lot
more of her wisdom in our recording on how you can use Essential Oils and
aromatherapy.

Set a schedule and make a goal for yourself when it comes to article writing.
When I first began I challenged myself to write 100 articles in 100 days. This did
not happen it only took me 78 days! Even if you will only set a goal to write one
article each week, stick to that goal and make it part of your routine.
My articles tend to be about three hundred words in length. I submit them to
EzineArticles, the largest article directory in the world. Choose the categories you
will be writing in and write enough articles to be included in the top ten authors for
that category. For example, I am in the top ten authors for the number of articles I
have written in the eBook and article writing categories. This continues to build
my credibility as I continue to write and submit more articles every day.
Prong 2 Blogging
Blogging builds your visibility in your niche. Consider your blog to be your home
on the internet. I use my blog as my primary site, rather than a traditional
website. People know they can come to my blog and find out the latest
information that will help them in their online business and also to leave
comments and questions about what they are working on.
When you first start blogging, I recommend something I call power blogging.
This means that you will post to your blog once a day, every single day, for the
first six to eight weeks. This will give you a boost in the search engines for your
keywords and also get you into the habit of writing fresh new content every single
day.
I still post to my blog about five times a week and use the opt-in form in the upper
right-hand corner to collect names and emails to add to my list. I also announce
my weekly teleseminars, my upcoming courses and any other affiliate programs
that I am currently promoting.
Prong 3 Social Networking
Social networking gives you exposure to people you want to connect with online.
With several hundred different social media sites available on the internet, there
just isnt time to be everywhere. The two sites I visit daily are Facebook and
Twitter. These are the sites that make the best use of my time. On Facebook I
have my own group, as well as a secret group for whom I mentor, where we
exchange information and ideas, almost like a membership site. I am also a
member of about thirty other groups where I stop by regularly to see what they
are doing and to write on their wall. Facebook is also where I announce my
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
courses and programs by creating an event and sending out the information to all
4,400 of my friends.
Twitter has become my favourite social networking site. I have just started a new
practice of tweeting one of my articles every single day. Since you can only
send out a tweet that is 140 characters long, it takes at least twelve to fifteen
tweets to get my article out there, but I have found this an excellent way to
repurpose my content.
Prong 4 Teleseminars and Internet Radio
When people hear your voice they very quickly begin to trust you and the
information you are providing to them. I began holding regular free weekly
teleseminars more than a year ago and find this to be the very best way to get to
know my prospects.
Taking advantage of internet radio also connects you with people in your niche
that you can interview and who will want to interview you. Many times people will
come up to me at a live event and tell me they recognized my voice before they
saw that it was me. Both of these methods are excellent to let people hear what
you have to say.
Prong 5 Developing Your Own Product
Until you have your own product to sell online, you cannot complete the steps
necessary to build your online empire. Even though you can do quite well as an
affiliate, promoting other peoples products and services, it is a product of your
own that will give you the freedom to take your business to the next level.
I recommend creating a digital product at first. This can be a series of audio
recordings, transcripts and a workbook. Once it is completed you can sell it
online from a web page. People from around the world will be able to purchase
and download your product at any time of the day or night.
Be sure to create the most excellent product you can so that your clients will feel
like they made a wise decision to purchase. Stay in touch with them after they
buy to allow them to ask questions, get more information and purchase more
products from you as you continue to build your inventory. Your goal is to turn
each buyer into a raving fan.

COOL TO BE KIND
- The Art of Generosity
and Laughter a
generous gift to your
Health!
The Generous Quest
Generosity is a creative act, as living and acting generously can impact others,
but the most transformed is the practitioner of generosity, for by being generous
one becomes generous! We live in a waiting, needful ever-regenerating world.
Charity is being moved to give. Generosity is being moved to change. The
courage to change what is wrong in the world hinges on the courage to also
change what is wrong inside ones own heart.
Practising Generosity
Generosity can create the spiritual as well as personal, an ability to change and
regenerate. When one commences to consciously practise generosity, it is vital
to remember that it is not really about giving more money, or even more time, it is
about being more generous with one self towards others, including those who
criticize you or are threatened even, by your changing. The clearer you are when
communicating, the easier it is for others to understand and let go of any residual
prejudices or nagging reservations.
The generous response to positive support and responses received is, simply to
be grateful.
Time is the most precious gift. Time can actually slow and expand if you know
where you are to share it. You may know how much time to give or to whom you
will give, but you also have to know where you are to practise your generosity.
Have you ever noticed that when a friend or even a stranger, gives freely of
their time when you may really just need an ear to listen, is really one of the
most precious gifts on this Earth!! When you know where you are to give,
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
then you will find that time doesnt have such a stranglehold upon your life; time
can be on your side.
When it comes to personal relationships, you can give someone money, but it is
not the same as relating. To relate, you give of yourself, you appreciate and
value and understand someone else. Every spiritual law is about visible bonds,
but this one especially so. I have a couple of very close friends amongst my
circle who have been such a great example of real support and generosity, and I
can tell that they truly enjoy giving from the heart. Their friendship is so precious
to me and I will always feel privileged just to know them and spend some time
with them.
Giving time, as an art of right living, actually requires more discernment than
giving money. When time is given, it is not just an hour or two, or an evening at a
shelter, or a chat on the phone; generous people offer their heart and their gifts to
regenerate others. We need to remember ourselves too as we need to give
ourselves as much love and support that we give to others!
Generosity depends on the practice of virtue and there are three reasons why:
First, as a form of wisdom generosity is realized only in action. It gains its
strength through constancy and not by being learned as a theory. One needs to
pause to be clear about personal motives and discern how ones choices serve
others and express love. This orientation to others is the core of generosity.
Second, as generosity will challenge the easy comforts and assumptions
considered normal by the status quo, it is essential to prepare for criticism. There
are downsides, risks and undersides to all choices. However, with virtue, it is
possible to develop a foundation for standing on principle and daring an
unconventional approach to lifes problems.
Lets not kid ourselves,
practising generosity is often criticized or unwelcome. Ive certainly experienced
it several times in the corporate world and its disconcerting to say the least.
Sometimes, by being generous and happy, people mistrust you which is always
so alarming and disappointing!
St. Francis of Assisi taught, Those who possess one virtue will possess all the
others, provided that they do not harm any of them. A person who hurts one of
the virtues offends all of them and does not possess any of them.
Ten virtues that when practised and nurtured, inspire and give form to the art of
generosity. Those wonderful virtues are:
Courage
Humility
Discernment
Compassion
Mercy
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Reliability
Trust
Hope
Remembering
Balance
An exercise that one can try on a daily or at least weekly basis is to ask:
Who have I been compassionate towards today (this week)?
Where have I practised humility? etc. and try to think of all of the virtues while
going about your day.
IT PAYS TO BE NICE COMMON TRAITS OF INTERPERSONAL
COMPETENT PEOPLE
1.
2.
3.
We always remember those people who have and continue to treat us well and it
means so much.
Interpersonal competence comes from within.
Build
relationships and treat people well because its the right thing to do not
because you have something to gain from it. People can spot a phony a mile
away.
Some ideas to become more interpersonally competent are:
Work hard at relating well with all kinds of people. People who are
different from you might make you feel uncomfortable at first. However,
they also have the potential for teaching you something you didnt know. I
have experienced this countless times in my life and am always grateful
for being fairly open minded.
Listen well and demonstrate your understanding others points of view.
Ask questions if you dont understand; paraphrase (repeat your
understanding) to ensure you got it right. I find that with the various
generations and such a global communication now with different accents,
etc. it always behooves one to have the person repeat the message for
either reason.
Be a consensus builder. If you focus on where you agree with another
person, youll find that it will be easier to resolve differences and come to
agreement.
Learn how to relate to all kinds of people. Focus on building mutually
beneficial relationships.
Put others at ease. Be diplomatic and tactful and whenever possible and
appropriate, bring some humour in to the exchange.
Be warm, pleasant and gracious, and sensitive to the interpersonal needs
and anxieties of others.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Be receptive to feedback.
Take a deep breath when you are angry. Dont blow up. Present your
side of things in a measured tone of voice.
Take responsibility for your feeling. Dont blame others if you are
unhappy.
Be easy to get to know. Share your feelings. Be open about your
personal beliefs.
Be attentive to the needs of others. Listen actively. Set a goal of listening
twice as much as you speak. Weve all heard the fact that we have two
ears and one mouth for a reason!
Avoid judging and criticizing and preparing your response while the other
person is speaking. Instead, focus on understanding what they are
saying, and the emotions behind what they are saying.
Show others the respect they deserve as human beings listen to them
and do your best to put yourself in their shoes. Respond to the feelings
they share with you before responding with facts.
Be humble, not a know-it-all. Apologize when youre at fault as promptly
as possible. Recognize people and give them credit when they are
correct.
Speak only when you have something to add to the conversation. Dont
make comments just to hear yourself speak. Dont state the obvious.
Look people in the eye when you are speaking with them. Ask questions
to clarify things that are not clear to you.
Acknowledge other people for their contributions and talents. Everyone
likes to hear nice things about themselves.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Remember laughter is contagious and the easiest and best laughter usually is
not about jokes, laughter causes laughter and can be a helpful tool we use when
communicating and developing rapport with someone new.
I loved a short story that I read recently about a 92-year old woman who has
always loved making people laugh and said that she hoped she would always be
able to make others laugh and laugh at herself. I would venture to guess this
woman has seldom had a negative thought and has far better than average
health!
Action Box
So, what are you waiting for?
1. Give as many people as possible when you see they
are struggling, an encouraging word and whenever
appropriate and possible, make them laugh!
2. Share some valuable information that you may have
about anything at all that could help a friend or
anyone, to reach a goal or ease a dilemma whenever
possible. Give generously of tips and hints regularly
to all and everyone!
3. Practice random acts of kindness consistently and
recognize and praise people for their
accomplishments and especially for their generosity!
4. Look for opportunities to laugh regularly and try
making 3 people laugh every day, including yourself,
for a week!

opening up more possibilities for EVERYBODY, especially women. But education
and involvement is essential. That's where GutZy Women fills the gap.
In Debbie's 30 plus years of advocating for women as a community volunteer, as
well as her entrepreneurial and career experience, she discovered that many
people are intimidated, frustrated, and fearful or overwhelmed by computers and
Internet technology. Women, especially baby boomers, want help. She deeply
understands that and so approaches them with understanding, empathy and a
gentle approach...a VERY DIFFERENT approach than the typical "techie"
mentality.

How to Find your
Life Purpose NOW
Happily fulfilling one's life purpose brings immense happiness, which in turn
leads to robust health and physical wellbeing.
Does your life's purpose seem to be eluding you? Not sure what your "Life
Purpose" is? Well, you have just found it!
You may be saying to yourself right now: "Yeah, right! How can that be? I've
been searching for my life purpose all this time and here's this crazy loony telling
me I just found it!", Fair enough. Let me explain.
The thing about our life's purpose is that we tend to overcomplicate it. We think
that if it is not mystical and amazing, it can't possibly be it. However, I'd like to
pose a question to you. What do you think is the purpose of your life?
If we 'zero base' it, which simply means make it *v-e-r-y* plain and simple-deep
down inside, you feel happiest when you are living in unison with the natural laws
of the universe (pure physics, mind you). The natural laws, one of which is the
law of service illustrates the point well. The grand aim for us in this life is spiritual
progression (even if at first we don't recognize it). The way we go about it in our
day to day is also simple. In order to continue the experience we need to keep
ourselves alive. In order for that to happen we need to work to feed ourselves
and being on purpose whilst we do that means being happy whilst adding value
and solving other people's 'urgent problems'. Whether you clean houses for a
living or run multi-national corporations, you are on purpose when each day you
are happy and can't wait to start your day because it is another opportunity to
positively touch someone else's life in a positive way--adding value to them.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
You see the creator of all life inscribed in each one of us a very simple program:
"become better than you are, whilst helping your neighbour do the same!" It is
within our daily activities that we find the opportunity and the lessons necessary
to act out that program. These very opportunities help us make the necessary
attitude choices in order to gain the most out of our learning: The purpose of this
life.
You see our purpose as spiritual beings having a physical experience is to
improve ourselves and come closer to perfection. In so doing we help those
around us do the same and hence improve the collective consciousness. Making
the universe a better place for everyone; and it all starts with one person at a
time.
Precessional Effect
Buckminster Fuller explained it best. 'Precession, which is different to
Procession is an inevitable consequential result of our actions. A processional
activity is one based on linear action, where the outcome is the result of an
intention. A precessional effect is a sideeffect that is often unexpected and
usually operates at rightangles to the Processional effects (in the way that
when a pebble drops into a pond, the resulting ripples on the surface propagate
out at rightangles to the direction of the pebbles travel).
We see precessional side-effects clearly throughout nature. Bees are a good
example. The bee needs honey, so it flies from flower to flower, collecting nectar
in an intentional and straightforward cause and effect process. However, the
precessional sideeffect of this activity is such that flowers are pollinated in the
process creating all sorts of beautiful and necessary effects in nature. In His
wisdom, the Great Spirit gave bees and humans the need to work to provide for
'self', knowing that in doing so precession would take care of the rest, thus
ensuring his creatures' purposes are fulfilled daily. The more conscious you
become about yourself and the need to add value to other people's lives the
more valuable your precessional impact. This is also how together we can
change the world, one person at a time.
Cause and Effect
Precession is the consequential aspect of our activity - the result of our actions.
When looking for your life purpose you only need to concern yourself with
answering yes to 3 simple questions.

Weight
Consciousness - How
to be Your Perfect
Weight
Vital Secrets You Need to Know To Be Successful
With Your Weight Loss Journey
There is a little know secret to losing weight that very few people are even aware
of let alone talk about, yet it is the foundation for your success or otherwise. This
is what I call Weight Consciousness.
Have you ever lost weight only to find that down the track you have put it all back
on again and some? You had it all together when you lost the weight so how
did this happen?
Fundamentally you were only working on the symptoms of your weight gain not
the cause! It is no different to any other issue where the body is out of alignment,
there are the symptoms that we can see the runny nose, the skin rash, the
excess weight yet we know that the runny nose is being caused by something
else, the skin rash has erupted due to another influence yet many times we
only focus on the symptoms and treat them, then wonder why the problem keeps
coming back or never quite resolves itself!!
Welcome to the world of weight struggles, the I am trying to lose weight, the Ill
lose weight when., Once x is over/resolved I will be able to lose weight
WRONG!! Unless you resolve the underlying issues that are driving you to be
the weight you are, then I am sorry to tell you the weight problem will not be
resolved permanently.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Look out for the January 2009 edition of the Oprah magazine where Oprah
discusses this issue and what has been her learning. Here is a snippet from the
article.
I have to focus on being fully alive, awake, present, and engaged, connected in
every area of my life. Right now.
What I've learned this year is that my weight issue isn't about eating less or
working out harder, or even about a malfunctioning thyroid. It's about my life
being out of balance, with too much work and not enough play, not enough time
to calm down. I let the well run dry.
Here's another thing this past year has been trying to teach me: I don't have a
weight problemI have a self-care problem that manifests through weight. As my
friend Marianne Williamson shared with me, "Your overweight self doesn't stand
before you craving food. She's craving love." Falling off the wagon isn't a weight
issue; it's a love issue.
Did you hear what she just said? It is not about her eating or working out for
Oprah the issues she has identified for herself are about self care and love. What
are your issues? Lets explore these.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
The process requires you to get to know yourself at a deep level; you will be
required to really look at yourself and to discover the beliefs that have been
driving your lack of permanent success to date. If you are willing to be honest
with yourself you will be amazed how quickly things can change, and you will reconnect to the amazing person inside and feel fabulous about yourself in the
process.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
You also need to look at your commitment, are you actually committed to making
the changes or are there some beliefs preventing you from making a full
commitment? Living life in the body of your dreams is not hard if you are willing to
stop doing the few things that are killing your results and start doing the few
things that will accelerate your progress and along the way clear any issues as
they arise.
Do any of the following beliefs ring true for you?
I cant commit to things
I cant commit to things for me
I am afraid to commit
I cant commit to my weight loss
Step 4. What Got Me Here?
The optimist sees opportunity in every danger;
the pessimist sees danger in every opportunity.
Winston Churchill
Take the time to clear the past and the issues that have got you to here. Your
weight is a reaction, a response to something in your consciousness, through this
process you can learn to love everything that has happened to you and to learn
from each experience.
The key to your weight loss and never having a weight issue again is to allow
your body the environment where the perfect program for you is activated rather
than the current program. Work with your body not against it. The goal is to
return your body to the place where it is safer for you to be your perfect weight
than to be the weight you are now. When your body is in harmony weight loss will
become automatic - easy and inevitable.
Here are some beliefs that may be running your outcomes.
Weight loss is a long and slow journey
Weight loss is hard
I am not allowed to be healthy
I am not allowed to be my ideal weight
I am not allowed to lose weight
If I lose weight I wont be healthy
If I lose weight too fast I will get sick
I am not allowed to lose weight fast
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Here are some beliefs that may be holding you in this place.
Women in my family are fat
Fat is in my genes
I am weighed down by all I have done in my life
I am weighed down by all I have not done in my life
I am meant to be fat
I was born to be fat
I deserve to be fat
If I lose weight my partner wont love me
My spouse prefers me to be fat
My family prefer me to be fat
My fat keeps my spouse/family safe
I always make bad food choices
Nothing is healthy for me
All the food I love is bad for me
Food helps me relax and feel good
I am not good enough to be my ideal weight
I am not allowed to lose weight
I do not deserve to be happy
I do not deserve to be happy with my body
I will not allow myself to be my ideal weight
I will not allow myself to be happy with my weight
I will not allow myself to be happy with my body
I must stay fat
I love being fat
Step 6. The Way Forward
To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it.
Mother Teresa
So you have now cleared a path to move forward, yet there can still be some
hesitation. So whilst you may believe that you are ready to move on you may
also believe that you are not. This can be a time of Yes I am ready to move
forward to my perfect weight as well as No I am not ready to move forward to
my perfect weight.
You must clear these tug-of-war situations that are going on in your body
otherwise you will keep reverting back to issues that you thought you had
cleared. Look at beliefs like the following.
I cant trust my body
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Support Yourself
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Get support for your journey. Support yourself by following the steps in this
chapter, surround yourself with supportive people, and create the physical
environment that will support your success.
Lighten up, have lots of fun and laugh more. Schedule this into your day.
Go as far as you can with what you know. You will not always be able to
see the path ahead. Set the process and trust that you will achieve your
goals.
Jump and grow your wings on the way down. Go for the ultimate life you
desire and see where the journey takes you.

The Transforming
Power of Letting Go
Have you ever let go of it all? The most remarkable things can happen when you
surrender completely.
Letting go and trusting in the universe is probably the all time greatest challenge
anyone can face. Walking in the dark with total blind faith, not knowing where the
next safe footing will be, afraid that the unknown will unveil more than we can
take.
One of my first experiences of consciously handing it all over to the universe was
in 1980. I was in a job recruiting disk drive engineers in Silicon Valley and was
failing miserably. Luckily for me, one day after work when I was meditating in the
local meditation center, I opened my eyes, and glanced upon a sign on the
bulletin board that advertised a success seminar called Yes To Success to be
held in San Francisco the following weekend. All circuits firing, I knew that
somehow the answer to my prayers had everything to do with taking that
seminar.
My intuition couldnt have been more on! Not only did I take the seminar, but I
eventually persuaded the seminar leader, a vivacious and passionate woman
named Debra Poneman, to hire me. As luck would have it, Debra was going on
her U.S. speaking tour at the same time I was to arrive in Los Angeles where her
company was located and she needed someone to housesit. She said I could
stay in her apartment, study her success tapes while she was gone and when
she returned, I could start my illustrious career, uplifting and speaking to
hundreds of people all over the world.
I was in seventh heaven!
Two weeks later, after Debra and I finalized our plans, I said goodbye to all of my
friends at the recruiting firm, packed my bags, filled my vintage red Toyota up
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
with gas and headed down to Los Angeles, radio blaring, singing at the top of my
lungs, ecstatic that I was on my way to start my dream career.
Two miles into my journey my little red Toyota started sputtering and spurting.
Steam started rising up over the front of my car from inside the hood and as I
was pulling over to the side of the freeway to see what was going on, my trusty
little red car took one big breath, let out the most God awful sound and died.
Horrified, I just sat there frozen by the side of the freeway, stunned at what had
just happened.
After the initial shock of losing my beloved Toyota, I came up with an alternate
plan to take a train down to Los Angeles. After paying the tow truck to tow my
car, buying my train ticket to Los Angeles, and then taking a long taxi ride to
Debras apartment in Santa Monica, to my dismay and alarm, I arrived at Debras
door with $13.00 to my name.
Frozen with fear that Debra wouldnt hire me to go out and teach other people
her success principles if she knew I was completely broke, I said nothing while
we were together and kept a sunny smile on my face until Debra finally waved
good-bye to me.
Now what am I going to do? I thought to myself. Feeling totally weighed down
by the fact that I hardly had enough money to last me more than a few days, I
went to Debras refrigerator and scooped myself a huge serving of her chocolate
ice cream. After eating almost the whole gallon, I laid down on her couch and
fell into a drunken chocolate sleep.
When I awoke I decided there was only one option when things got this bad.
I grabbed the keys to Debras blue chevy which she had said I could borrow for
emergencies and headed down the Coast Highway with a renewed sense of
hope. I knew my poverty state would soon be over.
Arriving
at
the
great
Saint,
Paramahansa
Yoganandas
Self
Realization Fellowship Meditation Center in Pacific Palisades, I immediately felt
a deep sense of calm take over me. I walked past all of the beautiful buildings to
the majestic and serene gardens that graced this special place.
Reaching into my purse I pulled out my treasured, crisp one dollar bills and
stuffed all $13.00 into a little wooden donation box that was located in the
garden.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
When I had donated all I had, I sat down on a nearby wooden bench and had a
very intimate talk with God, pouring out my heart and telling him all that was
going on with me and where I could use a little of his support.
After a little while, I walked back to Debras car, knowing that letting go of all the
money I had left in the world absolutely had to be the best thing I could have ever
done. I didnt know why I felt that way, but I did.
I headed back to Debras apartment and the minute I walked in, the phone rang.
Hello I said.
Janet, is that you?
Uh huh Whos this? I asked
Its me, Patrick
Patrick was my ex-husbands father whom I totally loved and hadnt heard from in
over a year.
Hi Patrick, its so nice to hear from you, how did you find me? I asked.
After we chatted on the phone for some time, he invited me to meet him for lunch
at a nearby restaurant.
Patrick was unbelievably animated and talking 100 miles a minute. He had just
started selling a natural weight loss program he was really excited about. He put
four bottles of the stuff on the table and said this was just the beginning for me.
Janet he said. I think this is something you could really make a lot of money on
in your spare time if you wanted to.
Patrick still had that same sparkle in his eyes I had always loved and when he
spoke about the products he had set down before me, I couldnt help but start to
feel excited about it too.
The opportunity sounds great I said. How about when I have some extra
money, Ill order some from you?
I dont think you should wait that long Patrick said to me smiling.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
I just happen to have $500.00 worth of the stuff in the trunk of my car.
You can have these bottles on the table and the $500.00 worth as well. Pay me
back after you sell it and make some money for yourself.
Just as he handed over the four bottles our very overweight waitress walked up
to our table and said to me,
Whats that?
I told her everything I could remember that Patrick had just told me about the
products.
Ill take everything you have! and she immediately whipped out a $100.00 bill
from her apron, grabbed the bottles and walked away.
I sat there stunned, and overjoyed. Thanking Patrick as we said goodbye, I
headed home.
This experience was a profound lesson for me. One which Ive remembered often
during the twenty-six years since these events took place.
We are always taken care of. Donating my last $13.00 was my way of
surrendering to that force which is always looking after us. I learned that all thats
required of me is to let go of my agenda, and surrender to Gods will for me.
When we do that, the result is always better than what we could have come up
with on our own.
Action Box
So, what are you waiting for?
1. Take a leap of faith and put your trust in the universe
2. Let it go. Surrender to the force that is always looking
after us
3. Be open that the result will be better than you could
come up with on your own

Being fully aware in the Now you will find, there is no real problem to solve, there
is nothing to struggle, there is no problem and no challenge. There is only peace
and grace. The Now is the only reality and flow of life. Being in the Now means,
being back home. In the stillness of the Now lies the magic point where the
human mind empties into the cosmic consciousness.
As you constantly train and educate your mind by defocusing and
observing, you are in constant meditation. When you are aware in the Now,
you connect with the beauty and perfect harmony even behind trivial daily
activities like brushing teeth, waiting in queues, or writing checks. Only in the
Now are the rational and intuitive mind, the left and right brain, in synchronicity,
and your consciousness is open to the unknown. Here you find answers and

The Four P's to
Making Big Money as
A Speaker
It cannot be denied that fame and fortune go hand in hand. So how are you
leveraging your talents when it comes to marketing your business?
Public speaking is one of the fastest ways to grow a business, and certainly to
add a significant amount to your bottom line. Using the simple formula outlined
below we have been able to go from business startup to revenue of over $450K
in three months. So I believe this system is one of the quickest ways to boost
your business profit.
However, it is not just a case of standing in front of a group and having a yarn.
There are some basic principles you must take into account before you can be
sure that speaking is the right strategy for your business.
I call them The Four P's of Successful Presenting:
Passion
If you don't believe in what you're talking about, you shouldn't be talking about it!
Your audience is not dumb, and will see right through you if you are not being
authentic. Speak about topics that you are passionate about. Therefore, if you
are tired of your business and no longer inspired by it, putting yourself out there
and running presentations is not such a good idea- you might just get found out.
People
Whats more, the topic of your presentation must be something that other people
are passionate about. These people become your target market. If you're the
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
only person on the earth who cares about your topic, you won't have a very big
audience and you won't get sales! If this is the case, it sounds like your passion
is more of a hobby than a business.
Products
Next, we have to make some money. Having something to sell is necessary to
monetizing a successful speaking business. If you already have a business
selling products and services, you are at an advantage. All you need to do is put
together a killer presentation to inspire people to buy from you.
Presentation
Finally, you must also practice and perfect your presentation. Delivering your
message is important and there is a formula to it. If you would like to find out the

Guide To Goal
Achievement & The
Law Of Attraction
The Law of Attraction is directly related to Goal Achievement
If you are like most people in the world, you devote countless hours to thinking
about your future and your present situation in life. You wish that there was
something that you could do to change your life. Whether it is your family life;
your friendships; relationships or finances, you want to change something.
You may feel you have a good grasp of the Law of Attraction, you take action and
yet achieving your hearts desire may be slower than you want. Why is that? Is it
you? Are you missing something? Or is this Law of Attraction just another pipe
dream?
You probably know the Law Of Attraction (LOA) experts say that it is crucial to be
in vibrational resonance with what you want to achieve and that you should not
focus on the HOW but just the WHAT of what you want. So now you are really
confused! Isnt Goal setting and LOA mutually exclusive?
The truth is that Goal Achievement and the LOA work very well together if goal
setting is done effectively. In fact, goal achievement observes the Law of
Attraction and is dependent on it.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
What are you not seeing? What are you not doing? What is the difference
between those goals that you did achieve and those that you didnt yet?
After extensive coaching and research with numerous clients, I found that when
you dont achieve that which you set out to do, without exception, one, or all, of
these 3 elements are true:
1) You are not clear about what you want
2) You have an all encompassing plan that is usually to big to tackle
3) You do not resonate with what you want to achieve
Looking at it in a different way, it follows that by ensuring that you satisfy these 3
elements you will achieve your goals.
Getting Crystal Clear about What you Want is the 1st Principle in
Goal Achievement
Getting crystal clear about what you want is not only about making a list of what
you want but also getting to the Essence of what you want. Think back to
childhood -- you know that time in your life before you did not know that you were
not supposed to know how to do something. Remember that time before well
meaning parents and role models infused you with patterns and beliefs that they
themselves got from their parents and role models. And theres no blame here
it is what it is.
Think of that time in your life when anything and everything you imagined was
possible. Yeah, that time when pretend was the same as real (hint: your
subconscious mind still cant tell the difference). It was so simple, wasnt it? You
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
felt like you were on a stage playing different roles and you truly lived, tasted and
felt like those characters, you were that character! You saw it and believed it. The
world was your oyster.
I know that you may be saying: Yeah, thats great! But that was thenthings
were simple and uncomplicated and playing pretend was not the same serious
business that I have to contend with today. Today, I have to make a living,
provide for myself and my family. I cant play roles on stages. Theyll come and
reposes my car, throw me out of my house, take my furniture away for Gods
sake
Please read on .I am not talking about living in a fantasy world. I am talking
about really getting to the essence of what you want. This is important! Getting
to the ESSENCE of what you want!
So, now perhaps you are thinking, What the heck is Essence? You know
because Ive heard about this stuff before and I think this is another way of
saying visualization and.... I am not that visual!
You should know this is not just about visualization. It is ok if you are not visual
because the process for getting to the essence of what you want (and I will go
over what essence means a bit later), works whether you are able to see the
things you want in your minds eye, or you think about these things or if you
simply feel things. It doesnt matter how you do it!
This process works, every time. Best of all it is simple. Keep It Simple
Sweetheart (KISS). You are all for that, arent you? And it will work for you just
like it works for me and every single one of my clients.
Now you may be thinking, Boy Joanne, I dont know if I know what I want yet,
but I sure know what I dont want!
Exactly, most of us have an easier time with what we dont want. So lets start
there. In fact, heres something you can do right now to start this process. I am
going to give you 4 simple steps to start the process of clearly determining what
you want. So please do these steps:
Step 1 Write down what you Dont Want. Make a list of the things you Dont
Want. This could be a list pertaining to a particular issue you are working on. or it
could be several things you know you dont want. For example, lets say that
what you dont want is, to work with un-cooperative co-workers.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Step 2 Now write down WHY you Dont Want this. Why you dont want this is
crucial. It reveals to you what you are afraid will happen if this is true. So from
our example before .I dont want to feel like I have to work hard to get things
done or maybe I dont want to feel unappreciated or taken advantage of.
Step 3 Look at your list of Dont Wants and now turn this list into Do Wants.
So, from our example I want to work with cooperative and supportive coworkers. Excellent, continue doing this for all of your Dont Wants.
Step 4 Just like you did for your Dont Wants now look at your list of Do
Wants and write down WHY you want this. Heres where we get to the
Esssence I spoke about earlier. The essence is ... how this makes you feel. So
from our example, I want to feel excited and enthusiastic about working with
my co-workers or I want to feel joyful, supported and valued by my coworkers.
It only takes 5-10 minutes, once you get used to this process. There is a part b
to step 4. Please dont skip this part b! Look at your Do Wants and the WHYs or
Essence of your Do Wants, and write a little scenario/script of what it is like once
this you accomplish this goal.
It does not have to be a screenplay, just one paragraph. Remember, Keep It
Simple Sweetheart (KISS).
Let me give you an example from the scenario we used before It could go
something like this:
I arrive at my office and I am greeted by the smiling faces and warm hellos of
my co-workers. I exchange a few pleasant words with them and then go right into
discussing our latest project. I am excited about our work and share my
thoughts about how we might tackle some of the challenges we are facing vis a
vis our low sales volumes. Together with them I look at the pros and cons,
discuss them and then agree a few steps we can each take to move forward. We
value each others opinion and I feel that I am part of a powerful, united force. I
am full of expectation and know that we can resolve our issue by applying the
principles in Joes direct sales marketing plan.
Now you see how I did that? I combined the Do Wants with the Essence of what
I want. I used the essence of feeling warm and excited and feeling powerful and
united and valued etc... You want to put as many specifics as you can in terms of
these wants and their essence. The clearer you are about what the outcome
looks, feels, seems the better!

It is as important to have a plan and take actions toward achieving your desired
goal as it is to keep flexible and ready to make in-flight adjustments. I cant

exists in unopened boxes of stuff from previous moves. It can also be found in
boxes of things not wanted or needed anymore. Getting rid of things comes with
a lot of guilt and regrets. Just think, just because someone sent you something
you don't have to keep it! Even though the clutter is boxed and put away, it still
affects us energetically. People who hold onto things get stuck in the past, they
can't get over past hurts, and most of the time feel stuck and can't move forward.
Opening physical space in our environment frees up emotional space so that new
desired changes, things, and people can enter our lives much easier.
There is no better time than the present to get started do it NOW!

You wouldnt be reading this if you didnt desire a larger, more fabulous life. And
youre no doubt going after it in this way and that.
But are you ready, really, really ready to change your identity? To see yourself in
a new, more successful, more attractive, more loved kind of way?
Larger Success always comes with a price, even a loss. Because you have to,
You absolutely must give up who youve known yourself to be (or at least some
part of you) in order to become someone new.
That means youll necessarily change how others see you and relate to you. It
means youll have to change the actual quality of your current relationships.
Youll say good-bye to some of your history, allowing it to stay on only as a
memory, no longer a daily drag or limitation. Youll open to new discoveries as a
regular, thrilling element of continually moving forward.
Sometimes youll hesitate, not quite sure of your footing in this new land, when
before you knew every square inch of the turf youd walked so many thousands
of times.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Because success is seldom, if ever, the whisked into wonder that we imagine. It
requires your willingness to overcome your loyalty, your allegiance, to what has
been so you can surrender into your new identity.
To start, notice who will be there for you cheering you on as you cross the river
from your old life onto the fertile soil of your new life, your new identity.
Take a moment right now and think about those people who are really in support
of you, really in support of you being all you can be. See them there?
Then pay very close attention to the specifics of this new life of yours - the one
youve been dreaming of and yearning for.
Again, open your imagination and see yourself living the details of this new life,
living the every day activities that you desire. Notice how you feel as you picture
yourself living in your new freedom, your new success.
So now what is that first step that will begin to take you into this new life you
desire?
Take some time to write about it, to talk with friends about it, until you are certain
what that step is. And, if youre ready, with our support and those who are there
to cheer you on as you move into your new life What do you need to do to take that first step, that all important first step that will
move you - even just a tiny bit - beyond the life youve been living and begin to
deliver you to into your new future?
Because when you know, really know - get ready. For you are about to change
your identity!
Action Box
So, what are you waiting for?
1. Do the visualisation exercise we described here
2. Write down the first step you need to take
3. Talk to friends about the first step until you are clear

A Return To Love
The Key To It All
I cant do that!
I am not good enough!
Im not lovable
What will others say?
I am too fat
I . Can you relate?????
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
This is crazy and it is time for this to stop. It is time to see the truth and set your
Self free. It is time to open your heart ladies and let that love in!!!
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
So you may be asking how? The answer does not lie outside you, it lies within
you.
You set yourself free by learning to love and honour yourself exactly as
you are. Become your best friend instead of your worst enemy!!!
A lot easier said than done I know. However, I also know that it can be done, for
I am proof. Only then can one truly love another unconditionally and secondly,
honour and accept others as they are. Whenever you judge another, it is a
reflection of how you feel about yourself. For your outer world reflects your inner
world.
The key lies in awareness and living in the present moment. It means retraining
yourself to stop thinking about your body. As the energy group Abraham shared,
If you could never again think about your body, and instead, just think
pleasant thoughts your body would reclaim its place of well-being. Again
I know easier said than done. With practice though you can do it. Every time
you catch yourself thinking about your body or talking about it, stop. Shift your
attention to something else. This is how you break the patterns. This will take
time as the beliefs we carry have been with us for a long time. So be gentle and
patient with yourself. As said, the key is awareness.
For many generations women have had to rely on their bodies and looks. In
some cases, women were literally thrown by the wayside once their looks faded
or they werent the right size. Take the movie The Devil Wears Prada. What a
perfect example, highlighting clearly the mad world we live in. Things are
changing though. We are in the process of a huge transformation where
humanity is waking up to the truth. Balance, equality, freedom is coming.
Your thoughts and feelings about yourself affect the bodys immune system. If
you love and accept yourself, you feel vibrant, alive and this boosts it. If you are
constantly criticizing yourself, you feel heavy, lethargic, depressed, and this
suppresses your immune system. The movie What The Bleep shows clearly how
our thoughts and feelings about ourselves affect us. Remember it is important to
keep in mind, our belief systems have been with us for a long time and so it will
take a little time to change them. Again be patient and gentle with yourself. The
key here is to just observe, without judgment. The more aware you become, the
faster things change.
So how else do you learn to love and honour yourself?
Congratulate yourself often, give yourself credit for what you do each day.
And this is not ego. This is essential to build your self worth.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Speak your truth quietly and clearly. If you do not feel to do something,
say NO.
Start letting go of every thing that does not bring you peace and fill your
life with what does.
Each day before you go to bed, write down 10 things you are grateful for,
5 successes you had, no matter how small they are, what miracles or
synchronicities happened to you today, and how many peoples lives did
you touch.
Ask yourself What did I learn about myself today?
Find what speaks to your heart and do it. Discover what you feel
passionate about. How? What do you do that you lose track of time, that
you get completely absorbed in. What things naturally interest you?
Learn to meditate. Take time each day to be still. Start with 3 deep
breaths and then observe your regular breathing. Take your attention to
your nose and follow the air as you breathe in and out. Scan your body,
starting at your toes, making your way up as you tell each part to relax.
Then just sit quietly observing your body. Notice how peaceful and gentle
it becomes when you give it a break. This is how to teach yourself to be
present, in the now. When you are present, so-called negative thought
patterns are broken. It stops or slows down the mental chatter that drains
you. It helps you to tune into who you really are.
Spend time in nature. Start to look for the beauty that nature offers.
Listen to the birds. Smell the flowers. As your heart opens more, you will
naturally feel more attuned to nature, for you are a part of it.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
blazes forth and touches every thing you come into contact with. This is the
greatest gift you can give to humanity, to all on the planet. It is time to
reconnect with your authentic Self and set your Self free. It is time to return to
love for LOVE is all there is.
Action Box
So, what are you waiting for?
1. When a thought comes up that is negative about your
self, ask Where did that come from? You will find it
originated from someone else. It was someone elses
belief that you took on. This awareness immediately
begins to dissolve that belief.
2. Train yourself to be in the present moment. Take 5
minutes a day and tune into yourself. Focus on your
breath, go through your body, telling each part to
relax and then sit quietly keeping your attention within
yourself.
3. Focus on what brings you joy and peace. Make a list
and incorporate them into your life daily.

Lead Generation on
a Budget
If you have a hot-selling product with all of the web traffic, list members and
money that you desire, this article may not be for you.
But, if you want more visitors, subscribers, and buyers, and don't have the luxury
of a huge advertising budget, keep reading, youre going to like this.
Does this sound familiar? You know you have a fantastic product or service, but
how do you get people interested in coming to your site to sign up for your offer
without blowing a huge wad on expensive pay per click campaigns or promotion
services?
You have put your blood, sweat, tears, and hard-earned cash into creating this
Product - and for what? Barely enough to pay for your hosting and autoresponder bills each month! You know that there are millions to be made if you
can just get the branding that you deserve. You believe in your product and your
service.
The problem is that you have a limited budget.
So, what can you do?
Let's look at your options:
*You could hire a copywriter to write your copy for your sales letter. But if you find
yourself having to choose between putting food on your table or hiring a decent
wordsmith-that's probably not the right solution for you right now. You know your
product better than anyone, so you should probably stick with your own ideas
and wording until you can afford a professional.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
*You could join a giveaway event and get your name "out there." That works
great for those with decent-sized lists, but most of those require that you have a
minimum number of subscribers already and if you're rather new, you probably
don't have that many just yet.
So, what can you possibly do to get your name and brand out there more quickly
without having to break into your life-savings or cash in your life insurance
policy?
You could do article marketing. Thats one of my favorite solutions. Its not
difficult.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Offer Value
Once they are on your list, you have the responsibility to provide them with more
good content, but you can also offer products or services that they would find
useful as well.
These can be your own products or someone else's high-quality offers that you
can make affiliate commissions with.
Don't make the mistake of offering low quality products for the chance to make a
quick buck. Since you're promoting this product, your subscribers expect you to
know that it is going to be a good investment of their time and money. Always
follow the golden rule
Treat people the way you want to be treated.
You now have the chance to get known by sending your very own articles and
special reports out to millions of people by leveraging these well-known
marketers' popularity! It's time to go viral!

Using Affiliate
Marketing to boost
your online business
and put dollars in
your pockets
There are two sides to Affiliate Marketing firstly if you need to increase
sales you can get a workforce for free.
Would you like to have a workforce driving traffic to your online business or
selling your products but not have to worry about employing them, paying
holidays or super, supplying them with a workplace, equipment or in fact never
even having to meet them? This is affiliate marketing.
Or secondly, use affiliate marketing techniques to earn a passive income
working minimal hours from anywhere in the world.
I am fortunate to make my income from affiliate marketing via a couple of
successful websites. Affiliate marketing gives me the freedom to work when I
want and where I want. My passion is travel and I travel with my husband and
kids at least four months of every year. If you make your living out of affiliate
marketing all the tools you need are an internet caf or laptop.
So what is affiliate marketing? And how can you apply the principles to
enhance your business or life?
Affiliate marketing is simply a pay for performance referral system. If you have
products to sell and want to use affiliate marketing to increase your sales you are
called the merchant. You pay affiliate marketers for sales they generate. The
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
great thing about Affiliate Marketing is that Affiliates are only paid when they
generate sales for you. They typically work on a commission basis only.
If you would like to generate an income from affiliate marketing you are known as
the affiliate. Your job is to promote products for merchants. You do not physically
touch the product, package it, or place the orders. You get paid for simply
referring a buyer. You will receive commission for any sales generated for the
merchant.
I first become interested in affiliate marketing around 5 years ago when I
stumbled across some information on the internet. At the time the concept was
growing in popularity in the US and UK but practically unheard of in Australia. I
asked around enquiring with literally hundreds of web designers only to find no
one really understood affiliate marketing. I researched and read anything I could
find on the subject as the concept fascinated me and the thought of making a
passive income for life, fascinated me even more. Back then there were so few
merchants that it was very difficult to find suitable products to sell but firmly
believing affiliate marketing would grow in Australia I started building myself a
content rich niche website that people would find informative and enjoy visiting. I
was ready when affiliate marketing started to take off around 18 months ago.
Hundreds of merchants signed up looking for affiliates and there are now literally
thousands of products an affiliate can promote.
I am both a merchant and affiliate. As a merchant I use affiliate marketing to
drive traffic to my websites. It is an important part of my online marketing
strategy. I then offer my readers informative content and relevant products to
purchase on an affiliate basis. I have built a substantial database and market to
them regularly.
Sales, leads or clicks to and from your website are traced via tracking codes.
The easiest way to get started in affiliate marketing is by becoming registered
with an affiliate network, there are three leading networks in Australia.
Some companies run independent affiliate programs avoiding the commission
the network makes on each sale. You can investigate setting up your own
affiliate program however many affiliate marketers wont use them as it creates a
lot more work for the affiliate and the merchant. When you join a network as a
merchant your products will be offered immediately to hundreds of affiliates
already registered and looking for something to sell. So using a network at least
in the early stages is the easiest and simplest way to get started for both affiliates
and merchants.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Affiliate marketers range from people wanting to make a small income to offset
the cost of running their sites to individuals and companies working full time
promoting to their databases via emails or on websites. Some affiliate marketers
make six figure incomes through the promotion of other peoples products. The
great news is that you can have these super sellers working for you and you only
pay them a commission on any sales they refer. If you had to pay for all the
advertising and promotion an affiliate marketer provides free of charge it could
cost you thousands so paying them a sale commission is great value.
If you want to join as a merchant and increase product sales: Your aim is to have
as many affiliates as possible promoting your business, more affiliates equals
more links to your website, which equals more visitors and more sales. The main
factors that will attract affiliate marketers are:
The commission youre paying. The more money a marketer can earn the
harder they are going to work to sell your products.
Your sites conversion rate ie the ratio of visitors to buyers on your site.
Your site needs to sell. A marketer will not continue to promote your
business if they refer thousands of people but no-one buys. They need to
earn money for all their hard work.
The range of banners or text links you have on offer. Marketers will be
looking to fill spots of various dimensions in their newsletters and on their
websites so provide a range of shapes and sizes. Also provide a range of
colours, static and animated banners.
When you join an affiliate network as a merchant include a detailed
description of your business and what you sell. The affiliate marketer may
want to write a small editorial and the easier you make it for them, the
more promotion you are likely to get.
Using affiliate marketing either as a merchant, affiliate or both can enhance your
business and your life. Putting you on the path to financial freedom and the life
you desire.

Create the
Outrageously Healthy
YOU for Life!
How would you like to feel Outrageously Healthy every single day of your life? If
you are living any life other than the Outrageously Healthy Life you deserve, then
youre in the right place.
Hi my name is Lenore Miller and it has been my privilege to work with more than
1500 women in the past few years through my fitness studio, assisting them to
create the outrageously healthy life they desire.
As a fitness professional people come to myself and my team looking for a
solution to their fitness and weight loss problems. But heres the thing - what
these gorgeous women really want is what they think getting thin and fit will give
them: feeling great about themselves, energy, vibrance and happiness!
The other side of this discussion, is the many women I have met who have
achieved their ideal weight or size, but are still not happy with who they are or
how they feel. The reality is they were really looking for what they thought being
their ideal weight would give them. Usually what they want is to feel happy,
energetic, vibrant; they want to feel Outrageously Healthy!
So why when they get to their desired size or weight are they still not satisfied?
Why do they then go on to want to adjust other things about themselves the
shape of their bottom, arms or nose? What they want is not really about their
weight, or size, what they eat or even how often they exercise. Its about the
quality of their life; how they feel every day when they wake up and then every
second of that day - its about how they feel in their own skin. If you spend all day
thinking about all the ways youre not perfect, then youll never feel outrageously
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
healthy - and you will never live the great life you deserve no matter what your
shape or size.
So whats the solution? Im glad you asked.
The solution is to learn how to feel outrageously healthy and happy TODAY
regardless of your weight, size, shape or health issues. Outrageous health starts
with the quality of your life and flows into all areas of your existence. You dont
need to get thin or fit first, because once you know how to feel outrageously
healthy easily and effortlessly then everything else follows from there. Its a
natural progression.
Will you need to take some action - absolutely - but once you stop focusing on all
that is wrong with you and focus on feeling outrageously healthy, making steps
toward the outrageously healthy you and the life you deserve is easy!
Whats getting in the way of you feeling outrageously healthy today?
Wouldnt it be great to feel outrageously healthy today and everyday of your life?
I bet the minute you read that question all kinds of thoughts flowed for you of
course I do but So what came after that but? Whats holding you back?
Make a list of all of the things that come up for you when you ask this question, or
the things you see as reasons you cant possibly feel outrageously healthy right
NOW! Go on write down your list; no-ones watching and you dont have to share
it if you dont want to!
What did you come up with Im overweight, I smoke, I have no energy, I dont
exercise, everyone in my family suffers from I am sure the reasons are as
many and varied as the wonderful people reading this e-book. And you know
none of this has anything to do with feeling outrageously healthy, because feeling
outrageously healthy is a state of mind, not a state of body.
You get to choose an outrageously healthy state of mind and my mission is to
show you how you can make this choice and transform the quality of your life and
health, easily and effortlessly. You know, once you decide to start feeling
outrageously healthy at every opportunity, then youll start acting outrageously
healthy too! Its a self-fulfilling prophecy. What kind of impact do you think that
will have on you and the people around you? You may even find some of the
reasons you gave for not feeling outrageously healthy start to move and shift
because once you do feel outrageously healthy, you might then start acting like
an outrageously healthy person? I bet you will.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
I have a question for you? How many times have you started on Monday? You
know what I mean - Monday is the day youre starting that diet, or exercise
program, or giving up smoking, or youre going to stop biting your nails Have
you started on Monday more than once? Wow I can hear you from where I am
sitting! Yes of course you have, and so have I.
Why did we need to start more than once? Why wasnt the first time the solution
that got us to our goal? I have an idea why all these Monday starts havent gotten
us to where we want to be.
Its because we have been using willpower to overcome whatever we see as an
issue - we will just stop eating our favourite food, or just stop smoking. We will
just decide to do it and thats it! The thing with willpower is it is only one tool we
have at our disposal and its a tool of your conscious mind. What does this
mean? It means that for you to take action you have to be consciously thinking
about it all the time and that is really hard work. You have to be vigilant all the
time; aware of what you are doing every minute of every day and its exhausting.
Guess what happens - you sometimes slip up then what do you do? How do you
feel? I bet you feel really awful; maybe even thinking, oh no Ive failed again.
And then what do you do? Slide back into the old habit again and feel even
worse. Thats right, isnt it?
Todays the day that is all going to change. Today you get new understanding
and new tools to ensure you have the outrageously healthy life you deserve.
Did you know that your conscious mind is only 1/6 of your total capacity, and the
remainder (5/6) is your unconscious mind? So when we decide that Monday is
that day we are using our willpower - in our conscious mind - we are only using
1/6 of our total capacity. The thing about our conscious mind is that it can only
do so much at one time before it starts dropping balls and becoming overloaded.
However our unconscious mind has a huge capacity. It does all those
unconscious things like breathe for us, beat our heart, digest our food and not
just that - it stores all kinds of information, in fact everything you have ever
learned, heard, seen, thought or felt is stored in your body as part of your
unconscious mind.
Have you ever had the experience of remembering an event or person that you
havent thought of consciously for years, but suddenly it or they are there front of
mind? Where was that information before it came to your conscious mind?
Stored in your very own advanced computer back-up system - your unconscious
mind - ready for retrieval.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
So what else is stored there? Well all of our beliefs and thoughts and all the
records of every time you started on Monday! Every time someone told you that
you were big boned and would never be slim, or that you werent sporty, your
unconscious mind stored those images, along with images of that person in your
life that you loved or thought was cool who smoked. It stores your beliefs about
who you are and how your life will be.
Some of this information is really old and way past its use-by-date. Maybe it
served you at some time in your life, much like the belief that youre a 10-year-old
child that served you when you were 10, but would it serve you to believe that
now? Maybe food always makes you feel safe or loved, and this may have
helped a troubled child cope, but does it serve you now to hold on to that belief
and continue to act it out? We have so many things stored in our unconscious
that we are not consciously aware of, which we still play out in our lives today,
creating results or outcomes we dont consciously desire. Once we become
aware of these patterns, beliefs or behaviours then we can change them to a new
pattern, belief or behavior to get us the life we want and deserve.
So stop feeling bad about your current state and get excited, because an
outrageously healthy life is yours for the living.
What happens when we start on Monday and by Wednesday we are totally off
our desired path? You now know there is something else going on, something
thats getting in your way, holding you back from moving forward on your goal something that is stored in your unconscious mind. How useful would it be to
remove that old information thats holding you back? Even better - to replace it
with something else; something empowering that will propel you forward into the
outrageously healthy life you deserve. Here taking the steps towards those health
and fitness goals becomes easy and just part of the way you live your life.
This is the business of getting your conscious and unconscious mind working
together and moving in the same direction.
So first lets get you in the right state of mind to begin. Do you have pieces of
music that when you listen to them elicit a specific emotion in you maybe its
joy, love or nostalgia for another time? Maybe its the music you use on your
iPod when you exercise to make you feel energetic, or the music you play when
you want to relax.
The gift I have for you today will allow you to feel outrageously healthy, energetic
and positive any time you desire - in an instant. How useful would that be? All
you have to do is download the FREE MP3 Feeling Great for No Good Reason

Creating
Environments for
Success
To be successful in life and to live the life that you truly want, you need to focus
on many things your beliefs, emotions, the actions you take, who you surround
yourself with. You must have a vision, a plan and you must make sure that
your home is not holding you back.
This is one area that people often neglect as they diligently focus on everything
else. Yet its true, your environment truly can hold you back. It can either support
you, helping you move forward and achieve your goals with ease, or it can
sabotage your efforts, keeping you stuck and bringing up obstacles for you in
your life.
Here Im going to cover 3 main areas for you to focus your attention on. If you
address just these 3 things in your home, you maybe amazed at the positive
change that can happen.
than one door at the front of your house making it somewhat confusing, then you
need to make it really obvious where people should go.
Once I do get to your front door, how welcoming and inviting is it? Youll want to
make sure that landscaping is well cared for, that there is something that
welcomes people to your home such as a small table and chairs on the porch,
flowers or plants, a welcome mat, a wreath on the door, etc. Its helpful to have
some red by your front door. Painting your front door red can be a good thing to
do, but if this is not possible or desirable, simply having some red by your front
door can be a very good thing. This is because red is a high energy color and it
helps to bring vibrant, positive energy to your door. You can have red flowers or
some red in your welcome mat and so on.
Make sure the doorbell works if you have one, or if you dont there must be some
other way for people to let you know they are at your door. Have a greeter at
your door. This could be a beautiful plant or a statue of some kind (for example,
an angel or an animal or Buddha).
Your front door should open easily if it sticks or is blocked in any way from
opening fully (such as things stored behind it) you may find yourself feeling stuck
in life with opportunities passing you by.
When working to enhance your front entrance, think of it this way when your
entrance is welcoming and inviting, youre inviting not only people to your home,
but also good energy and opportunities to come to you in life.
Your Bedroom
If the front door is the most important part of your home, the most important room
is your bedroom. Your bedroom is the room thats closest to you and has the
biggest impact on you. If you want to bring about positive change in your life then
start with your bedroom.
First of all, you should love your bedroom. It should feel like your personal
sanctuary. Clear any clutter from the room. In particular, do not store anything
underneath the bed doing so creates stagnant energy which can affect you as
you sleep, resulting in health issues. Do you love your furniture? Choose furniture
that you love and that makes you feel good.
Its best if your bed is made of wood, rather than metal. If you have a headboard
it should be solid no railings or bars. The headboard represents the support you
have in life you want to have solid support. If you have an open headboard with
bars or railings see if you can put something behind it or use some fabric. You
could use a board that is covered with some nice fabric.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
If you have a king-sized bed, cover the box spring with a red fitted sheet. This is
because the box spring has a split in it, which can cause a split in your
relationship. The red sheet will help to heal the split, and bring you and your
partner closer together.
Make sure you have a nightstand on each side of the bed. They should be the
same size and have the same things on it so if you have a lamp on one, youll
want a lamp on the other as well.
Your bed should be in the command position. This simply means that you can
see the door when you are sitting or lying in bed. The bed will be in a part of the
room farthest away from the door, but should be facing towards the door, with a
wall behind you. It should not be directly in line with the door remember that
energy enters through the doors and you dont want to block it by having your
bed there.
If you cannot place your bed in the command position and you find that you have
your back to the door, simply hang a mirror on the wall so that as you sit or lie in
bed you can look in the mirror and see the door behind you.
If you have or want a relationship, the color scheme in your bedroom should be
predominantly warm colors. Cool colors (such as blue, green, white, etc.) can
create a cooling of communication, a drifting apart in your relationship.
Use calm, peaceful colors nothing too bright. Also use artwork that is
appropriate (nothing too active or loud). You want this room to feel calm, peaceful
and romantic. So ideally this would mean no television, exercise equipment,
computers, etc. in the room. If you MUST have a television in the room put it in a
cabinet so you can close the doors when its not in use and when you go to
sleep. Otherwise, find a nice throw or scarf to cover it at night.
If you have lots of mirrors in your bedroom and you have difficulty sleeping, try
covering the mirrors at night. This will calm the room down and people very often
find that this helps them sleep.
Make sure that you only have things in your bedroom that you love, that it
represents you and you feel really good there. This helps your energy
tremendously and will help all aspects of your life improve.
Clutter
We all know that clutter is bad but it can easily become overwhelming so that we
dont have the time, motivation or energy to deal with it. If you are feeling tired,
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
lethargic, stuck in life in any way, dealing with clutter can be one of the most
effective things you can do.
Everything has energy. Also think of your possessions as being alive with your
memories and associations. Everything you own is connected to you
energetically and emotionally. This means that when you have an accumulation
of clutter things that you dont need, use, want or love, it literally drains your
energy. Also, when your home is filled with things that you dont use or want, it
means that your life is full and overwhelming. Theres no room for anything new
to come into your life.
If clutter is a big issue for you, I highly recommend getting started by working with
a professional organizer. There are many of them around and it shouldnt be hard
to find one in your area. If this doesnt feel like something you can do but you
dont know where or how to get started yourself, try getting started with one thing
right now, go and find one thing that you can throw away or give away. Do this
every day, just find one thing and take action with it throw or give it away. Or,
you can put together a box of things that you will sell but you must take action
with them. Either put them on e-bay or set a date for a garage sale. Youll find
that if you get rid of one thing every day the energy will start to clear, youll start
to feel better and things will start to move for you, without it being or feeling
overwhelming.
If you address these 3 areas within your home your front door, your bedroom
and deal with the clutter you will find that you feel better, more positive and
peaceful and that life starts to flow much more smoothly. Opportunities will
appear out of the blue. Who would have thought that you could achieve so much
by changing a few things in your home?

When using a VA, clients are only paying for actual work done. There are no
additional costs such as sick pay, holiday pay, insurance, retirement benefits etc.
In recent months, the media has turned its attention to the Virtual Assistant
opportunity. Becoming a Virtual Assistant is very exciting right now, as many
businesses are looking to outsource the tasks they dont have time for, to willing
and capable VAs.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
where youre going, youll know whether a particular opportunity is suitable for
you. This is one of the keys to success as a Virtual Assistant.
At first, I didnt really know what I wanted. I just wanted to work at home with
pretty much any client that came along. And so, I found myself with an odd
assortment of clients, some of whom I didnt really enjoy working with.
Others panned out really well, so I began to visualize getting more clients like
these and being quite specific about it. I took appropriate actions to get those
clients and I immediately recognised when suitable ones came along.
It really worked!
You can apply this on a daily basis and make it part of your everyday thought
process. Every morning, before you start your day, set your intentions for your
Virtual Assistant business - not only for what you want in a months time, but
what you want for that day. Each day must include specific actions to attain your
ideal life.
Once you have these things formulated in your mind, youll find it much easier to
stay focused in spite of distractions. This is an excellent way to attract your ideal
Virtual Assistant business, by constantly thinking of your grand vision and
working towards it.
As for the specific marketing strategies that will actually land you your ideal
clients, remember that you can use a mixture of online AND offline techniques to
get all the clients you could wish for.
Online marketing strategies include having your own website and networking on
Facebook, Linkedin and small business forums. Offline strategies include
networking at your local Chamber of Commerce and business networking groups
such as Business Network International, and volunteering in your local
community.
Consistent thought and action is key. Start today, and in a years time you will be
enjoying the fruits of positive intention and focused action.

The 3 Secrets Every
Female Entrepreneur
Needs to Know to Stay
Sane and Have a Life!
Many female entrepreneurs subconsciously sabotage their efforts in having a life
because they try and do everything themselves. Why waste your precious time
working on tasks, which are definitely not your forte when you can delegate or
invest your money on a product or service which will free up your time? Youll
then be far more productive, much more profitable and enjoy time with your
family.
Debbie's Story
Debbie was the Director of her own computer company, employing four staff.
Debbie had a hectic lifestyle. She worked long hours, had three children and a
husband to organise. On top of all that she was in the middle of a major
renovation of her own home. As if she didnt have enough to , Debbie was also
studying for a Bachelor of Computer Science!
No wonder she was stressed out!
Here was a situation where she had overburdened herself unnecessarily. She
had far too much going on in her life and something was about snap!
Debbie was unable to sleep properly with all the worry and strain of juggling
everything and had neglected her own self in the process. She looked tired and
haggard when I first met her. She was 15 kg overweight and looked at least 10
years older than she really was. She had lost touch with what was really
important to her. Debbie was trying to be superwoman!
She had taken on far too much and was forced to review her lifestyle (or lack of
it) or she would either have a nervous breakdown or die in the process.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
The Solutions
In working with my clients I always get them to write down all the activities and
responsibilities they are currently involved in, both at work and home.
By writing them down you can clearly see what is really important and what isn't.
You can also see where you fill up your day with unnecessary activity.
With Debbie there were many areas where she could free up her time to give her
the time for herself as the number one priority and get some sanity back into her
life.
Before Adding, Look at Subtracting
I suggested to Debbie that she needed to look at which activities and
responsibilities she could defer, delete or delegate.
This is what she chose to do:
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com

So, what are you waiting for?
1. Defer everything is not urgent. Sometimes you
have to put things off.
2. Delete Get rid of the unimportant
3. Delegate Free up your time. Get help!

Marketing is like dating. If you want to close the customer, you have to flirt with
them a little. You have to give them a reason to be attracted to you. Think about
when you went on a first date. You wore your red lippy, sexy perfume, you looked
hot, you listened intently, you laughed at their bad jokes and then low and behold
he asked you on another date. Well, marketing is just the same. If youre
wondering why you are not attracting your ideal client and closing the sale, then
you might not be flirting enough!
Marketing Strategy
Many businesses fail to consider where the client might be at in the sales
process. Some people are quick decision makers, but only some. Most people
need to have a few points of contact before theyll buy anything let alone your
major product or service. If they dont have any options other than a $3000
product, chances are they wont buy from you.

Marketing Funnel
A Marketing Funnel is a series of options that allows your customer to be
seduced by you in a way that is easy and comfortable for them to accept. It gives
them the opportunity to sit back and decide if they like what they see. This forms
the basis for your marketing strategy and it looks like this
Step 1. Lead Generation Light and flirtatious.
Your marketing tactics are the things you do to attract your target market. They
will be article writing, blogging, speaking, newsletters, networking, advertising,
mail drops, strategic alliances, competitions, directories, referral systems, build
your database etc. etc. etc.
Step 2. Irresistible Offer You need their number if you want a first date!
Once they are attracted to you they will want to see more. Before you can ask
them on a date you need their phone number; right? Offer them something that is
so attractive that theyll whip out their pen and jot down those precious details!
The offer might be an e-book, an audio or both. It might be a copy of this book
you are reading right now. Whatever it is, make sure its enticing enough so they
will be happy to give you their phone number and email address!
Step 3. Relationship Building The first date!
Now that you have their details, you can directly market to them via your regular
newsletter. This essentially, is your first date. Its your chance to showcase who
you are, your services, your style, your look and feel of your business. But
beware; dont go straight for the sale. Always give them something of value
before you show them all your wears!

How What You Love
Doing CAN Make YOU
Money!
Hi, Im Margaret Saunders and Im a very contented mother of two wonderful
daughters. I love being a mum and run a parenting business which came about
after I started to write a book which I never finished about what I love most.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
When I discovered I was really good at getting my daughters into bed and falling
asleep fast and my eldest daughter Alicia, was asking me to put her to bed at
6.00 pm on a Saturday night I knew I was onto something.
A year later I was introduced to my method of toilet training which took only one
day. This was so impressive to all my friends with children that they were asking
how to do it for themselves.
So that led to me thinking I could write a book about my parenting ideas and
skills and pass them onto other mums. I really did love what I was doing. I
started in sections and before the book was finished I came across internet
marketing. And that was the beginning of my business.
Instead of finishing one book I created four different parenting packages and
used the internet techniques of marketing and promoting and my business took
off.
You Too Can Do This.
If you have a hobby, an interest, something that you love doing and are really
good at, maybe youd like to use your skills to develop a product, such as an ebook, a CD, a home study course or more.
My life has become much more fulfilled and interesting due to my day to day
contact with the people who need my advice, or just to tell me their success
stories. Internet marketers and members of Wonderful Web Women have
become close friends and advisers and I give thanks every day for these people
who are now in my life and that I am able to share something that I truly love
doing.
So dont put it off, take some positive action, think of those ideas and start today.

How to be
Memorable when
Speaking in Public
look good, be
remembered
positively and attract
more clients
Whether you love or hate speaking in public, most business owners decide at
some stage to put themselves in front of a group audience. It is one of the most
cost-effective ways to reach your potential target market.
When you speak in public, you are a visual example of the result of using your
product or service. If the way you dress is in harmony with this, then the Law of
Attraction is at its most powerful. The audience will feel a connection to you. They
will also feel safe starting to build a relationship with you. And they have an
emotional reason to buy from you.
Its a courageous act to speak on a stage and reveal who you really are to an
audience of strangers. So here are three action steps and one bonus to help you
be the best and most confident YOU possible. The first two steps relate to your
audience and the third relates to you.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
It will also show your interest in them and your interest in their goals and
aspirations.
Dress like someone they can aspire to without being too far above them.
There are now more solo entrepreneurs and they are discarding the corporate
suit and dressing in a more relaxed business style. It is important to know how to
dress to appeal to this target market. If you are not sure how to do this well,
consult an Image Coach.
Always wear the best quality clothes you can afford.
This shows respect for your audience and pride in yourself.
2. Check out the Venue so You Stand Out from the Background
This is the one I find that many speakers overlook.
Ask the Organiser about the background colours of the room where you
will be speaking.
Find out the colours of the walls and the background curtains, the height of the
stage and what the lighting is like. Many groups meet in rooms that are also used
for entertainment and you may be standing in front of dark curtains as well as in
the shadows under poor lighting.
You do not want to blend into the background. I have been in venues where the
walls or curtains behind the speaker have been brown, yellow and even green.
Many speakers who are not aware of the background colours and lighting have
turned up in either a matching wall or curtain colour or colours that are low
contrast (eg black and plum or any two colours that are very dark). I have seen
speakers who have literally disappeared because of the colours they have worn.
A better option is to wear two colours that are a medium contrast (ie a lighter or
brighter coloured top with dark coloured skirt or pants). This appeals to most
people as they can see your face and you look more enthusiastic. A medium
contrast appeals to everybody.
Ask the Organiser about the characteristics of the group.
I belong to Business Swap and this group contains a high proportion of lively
extroverts. So to a group like this or if your topic is high energy, then you can
choose to wear high contrast colours (eg purple and orange, bright red or bright
yellow). Only do this if it suits your colouring and your personality and the
Organiser feels that the group will respond positively to you.
Natural Extroverts and some people with skin colouring that aligns with certain
colour seasons feel very comfortable wearing high contrast colours. If this is you,
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
be aware that these combinations can discourage potential clients who are
quieter in nature. Your personality can overwhelm them. It can also have the
opposite effect of attracting dependent clients who see your strong personality as
meaning that you will do all the work for them.
On your pre-visit or when you arrive to speak, check the lighting so you
stand where the audience can see you clearly.
Check where the President or the MC stands and note whether you can see their
facial expressions. Use this as a guide for the best place for you to present your
talk.
A word of advice for those who look good in slim fitting skirts.
From experience I have learnt that if you look good in a slim skirt, it is best to
wear one with some stretch in it as some venues have steep steps or no steps up
to their stage.
When you ask these questions, you appear very professional. The Law of
Attraction is working in your favour as word spreads about your attitude and
commitment to your audience.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Leave some open skin space at your neckline so that your face shines. You can
then wear a statement piece of jewellery or scarf that reveals part of your
personality. Women (and some men) will notice an interesting piece of jewellery
or scarf. Accessories attract people to you and they are great conversation
starters when you are mingling with the audience before you formally speak to
them.
What women call female intuition and men call gut feeling is you believing your
eyes before your ears. Your eyes take in messages from the way the speaker
dresses and their body language. So dress confidently and let the audience see
all your facial expressions. Those who will be your potential clients can then
decide whether they trust you enough to buy from you or start a business
relationship with you.

YOU, go to my website listed in About the Author and click on the Tips Library
link.
Bonus Tip
When you provide a jpeg image for promotion, make sure it is a current image
that brings light to your face and shows something of your personality.
People buy YOU first. So show them who you are, dress to give them something
to aspire to and be surprised by who and what you attract.

So, what are you waiting for?
1. Create a Checklist of questions to ask the Speaking
Organiser about the Venue and the Guests

clothing to speaking events

A Rich Life
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
In creating a better life the on flow is also a better life for your family and friends
as well. Be the best you can be and set your natural gifts free.
How do you know what your gifts are? Start by asking your friends and family
what they admire in you, and funnily enough, you may find youre not aware of
some of your natural talents. For some people being the best they can be is to
be a great Mother or Father and is reward enough, yet for others, contributing to
their community or environment enriches their soul. There are those that stand
out in leadership and create examples for the rest of the world. It doesnt matter
what it is you want to be the best at, its far more important that you believe in
yourself and try.
Its not what your dream or what you desire, rather how you allow your
dream to manifest. Limiting thought patterns are inside each person and to
become aware of what emotional issues are sabotaging your delivery of
abundance requires paying attention to dominant thoughts. If you believe that
your life is lacking in any way or that you live less than you want, these thoughts
can dominate your days and nights and you will continue to create a life of
limitation. If your mind focuses on what you dont like, what you dont want then
sub-consciously your dominant thoughts constantly attracts the very things or
situations that you dont want.
Its not easy turning your thoughts around but through persistence and daily
practice of listening in to your limiting thoughts, you can change to abundance in
a matter of weeks and months. Its like emptying a deep well of water, just when
you think its empty you find a little bit more. Remember that your limiting
thoughts have been gathering over a life time, therefore allow time and be patient
for these changes to empower your life. Students question their ability to create
abundant thoughts citing that when theyre surrounded by a society that
questions and judges, that staying on a positive thought track can be difficult.
There are many way to retrain your mind, one is to find a mentor, a spiritual
teacher who is a great guiding light when negativity and doubt reign.
Write down a list of all the dreams and goals you long for. Next to these write
how these dreams will impact your life, how they will benefit and enrich your life?
Express all your feelings and emotions, right down to how they will relieve stress
and worry. As you write your list start to become aware of any limiting thoughts
that arise in your mind. Thoughts that say, if only this were true, or why am I
doing this, these things never work for me and Ill only wish small because I
dont want to be judged as being greedy. As you hear thoughts of doubt or
limitation rising within your mind, stop writing and ask yourself this question, Why
am I restricting myself? and why do I think this way?
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
The truth is that you are not consciously aware of how you limit yourself
and your life. If, for example, your dream is to travel and see more of the world,
yet the dominant thought that constantly rises is, Ill never be able to have the
money to do that or I want to travel with a partner, be aware of how you have
immediately desired something from within your soul (travel) and then squashed
your dream through limited thought (reason why not). Your reality is created in
an instant.
When you next think of a dream you really want, and then hear your mind
suggesting why it wont happen, what if you could change from limitation to
creativity of mind to hear yourself instead thinking, Im not sure how that dream
will come true, and Im not sure when it will come true but I sure want it to come
true so Im going to keep that dream alive and will think, feel and act like its
already on its way. As a spiritual teacher I encourage you to keep your dreams
alive. Never let any other person or any circumstance or situation take your
dreams away. Your responsibility is to keep a burning desire in your soul, heart
and mind. For something magic happens when you do this, you begin to work
with an energy that is all around and delivers what is called the law of
abundance.
In taking a step back, letting go of control and allowing the universe to
deliver without expectations, you open yourself and your life to an
abundance of rewards. What happens is that people all too often want what
they want, when they want it and on their terms. Life doesnt work that way. Take
a look around you at the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom and you will see
that Mother Nature allows. To create a life of abundance you are required to
allow the universe to deliver without control or demand. Therefore if you want
riches beyond your imagination, be specific, ask, give thanks, step back, act like
its on its way to you, keep believing and patiently wait. When abundance starts
to manifest in your life you need to be ready for anything and everything to arrive.
Remember, no limits. Not even in delivery.
In fact that is what most people fear. They keep a certain amount of control on
their desires because they dont trust that they will know what to do or how to
handle their request when it all comes flooding in. Its interesting that true
abundance scares people, yet they wont readily admit it. Abundance requires
trust. Not that you know for certain that you are clever enough or wise enough to
know how to handle this unlimited abundance when it arrives in your life, but that
you just know you trust yourself and that however and whenever it arrives, you
will trust the effects and how abundance changes your life.
A rich life is a full life. An abundant life is not only materialism, wealth, health and
happiness but also a life of inner peace, poise and wisdom.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Abundance is all around, we see it in the blue sky, green grass, white lines on the
road, groceries in a supermarket and yet abundance for many people is like a
fish trying to find water, its everywhere yet they cannot appreciate it. When your
eye is trained to look for abundance you will always notice it is everywhere. The
challenge is when abundance is limited by differing values. To one person an
abundant life is only wealth and yet to another person, abundance represents
only health. Spiritually abundance is unlimited and eternal, manifesting
everywhere, interconnected with everything. When a student views a particular
class as a difficult lesson, another student will view the class a potential to learn
something new. How do you view your life? Do you see the abundance in some
areas but not in others? Is it possible to view those areas of your life that seem
lacking or limiting as holding some abundance? Could you possibly have an
alternative outlook?
Write a list of everything you want or desire. Look at your list and keep writing
until you feel youve unlocked every desire inside your heart and soul that youve
ever wanted.
Read over your list and adjust it as necessary, adding words or removing
words and creating a list that is specific. Look at your list once again, could it
be more specific? Where you have asked for something materialistic, write more
details about it, write the time frame you wish to have it by and then write what it
costs and how many you want. Remember you need to have no limits to your
desires. The law of abundance is listening, watching and waiting to deliver to you.
If you are controlling in any way you are delaying the arrival.
For example if you request a new car you need to specify the make, the colour,
the year of manufacture, the cost, the time of year and month that you want it,
where you will get it from and who will drive it. Hear your dominant thoughts as
they limit you and override yet by understanding you dont need reassurance as
to how this car arrives at your doorstep, because the law of abundance takes
care of that, you just need to keep your dream alive. As you visualise your new
car and all the details youve described, allow yourself to feel what it will be like
when you have this new car and how you will feel receiving it, driving it, being
seen driving it, how family and friends will respond and how joyous you may feel.
The next step in the law of abundance is action so do not be surprised when one
day you get the urge, the intuitive feeling that you desire to take this dream car, in
real life for a test drive. You see the law of abundance encourages that the more
a dream or desire lives as energy within you, the more you co-create it. You have
a part to play in having a rich life and that is to speak, think, walk and act like you
already have all the riches you seek.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Students sometimes say that they feel like theyre eluding themselves by
dreaming this way, yet by learning to turn their limiting thoughts towards
allowing possibilities they already have riches in their life, for every cell and fibre
of their being radiates a brighter light. Cells that make up your body; brain and
heart vibrate energy that empowers and enlightens when at a higher frequency.
In this equilibrium, atonement the body, mind and spirit align, become uplifted
and in turn you will become balanced, have greater clarity and more energy. Like
meditation, when the mind, heart, body and soul unite and equalise, rejuvenation,
replenishment and re-energising occurs. Likewise, when align your mind, body,
heart and soul with a life dream, step back and surrender control, the
interconnected life force called the universe, God force, steps in and guides,
guards and opens doors that you have only ever dreamed about.
A rich life is a life where one wants for nothing and understanding
everything is possible. Spiritually everything the heart desires, the mind
manifests and as a person is aligned with their life purpose, inner peace dwells. If
your desires are for the greater good of your life and the lives of others, then be
prepared to witness some amazing rewards take shape in your life and in the
lives of others. At no time are you to limit your dreams or goals or limit the way
you view your life for your future. I have a spiritual gift, but in no way is it different
to the gifts which lie inherent within you. The only difference between us is that I
am in touch with not only who I am, who I can be and also with where I am going.
This means I am clear about my future, my life path and infinite abundance.
When I am envisioning an abundant life for me and my family quite often I hear
my spirit, my soul intuition reminding, dream bigger. It dawns on me at these
times that human strengths are amazing and dreaming big is under stated and
under valued.
There is plenty of abundance to go around in this world; no one will miss
out because you have your share. Richness does not lie in martyrdom as profit
is derived so as to help more people. Gone are the days where having just
enough is good enough for these days enriching lives of those less fortunate
comes from understanding the flow of abundance never ends and is in fact
destined to be continually on flowing, like the cycle of life.
Judgement is a dangerous past time yet all too often you will judge
yourself let alone others judge you. Who are you to be brilliant? Who are you
not to be? What will people think if you living a rich life when they are still
struggling? Who are you to presume that others want what you want? What will
you say to others who choose not to open their minds and hearts to the
possibilities of greatness? Who are you to keep company with procrastination or
ignorance? Understand that others may know and thats ok. Your role is to be all
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
that you can be and allow your heart and soul to open fully guiding you to your
life purpose.
Forgive yourself that you have limited your life so far but that now you know
and understand you will give yourself permission to step forward with courage
and trust. It will feel like its on a wing and a prayer, yet the rewards for diligence
and tenacity are life turning.
Affirmations are great tools to use as they visually remind you of positive
thought principles and what dreams to keep alive. In the example of the new
car dream, a great affirmation is Im in love with my new white BMW that I own,
enjoy and share and I give thanks for this abundance in my life. Remember you
need to be specific at all times therefore when in gratitude you still need to be
specific. Other great tools are angel cards or any affirmation books that can give
you a daily message, inspiration, poetry, music, meditation CDs, similar to the
Red Rose CD that I have produced and guides you into relaxation. All these
tools support you while you are manifesting your dreams and desires. When you
fall off track and doubt creeps in, these tools remind you that you are being
guided and that abundance is your birthright.
Listen to your soul in times when you are quiet. Sit in the garden; feel the breeze
gently lifting your hair as the sun shines on your face. Remind yourself there is
more to this world than meets your eye and you are discovering, exploring and
testing this world, you call your life. Find inner peace through self trust and belief.
Know that abundance is within you and around you and through daily practice
patiently learn how to train your mind to work for you in creating the life youve
always wanted. Be at one with your heart, mind and soul and get off the round-about called being busy every now, understanding your dreams and goals are so
vitally important and relative to the quality of life you wish to live.
A rich life is a life you have inside of you aching to come out and manifest. Let
the law of abundance help you to create all that you need and want and then
some.
Everybody needs somebody, sometime. Help is only a question away. Reach out
and grab with both hands your birthright to abundance.
God Bless.

3 Key Elements
To Creating Your
Dream Lifestyle
A Formula for Success
Planning for your personal success is all about mapping out the various areas of
your life. Just like planning a road trip, you need to map out the following details:
the origin, the destination, the vehicle, the suitcase, the landmarks, and finally,
the route.
You see, your wonderful mind your mindset will determine how far your journey
of success will take you. This relates to your health, your relationships, your
finances, or anything else. Mindset is the way you look at things and is a driving
force when it comes to creating your dream lifestyle.
Developing a winning mindset starts with taking personal responsibility. One of
the most important things you can do to manifest your heart's desire is to take
100% responsibility for everything that happens to you.
Now most people don't like this concept of accepting complete responsibility for
their lives. The main reason? It's just so convenient and easy to have someone
outside of yourself to blame. Who doesnt want to pass off their failures to
someone else? Plus, it's comforting to have a scapegoat to justify past failures
and disappointments when you dont get the outcome you desired.
Some common scapegoats that easily come to mind are: parents, bosses, the
government, gender, race, age, the economy, the media, and basically anyone or
anything you feel that's preventing you from creating your dream lifestyle.
So what does it mean to take full complete responsibility for your life? First off,
you have to use your personal power to create the abundant lifestyle you desire.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
But here's an eye opener you've always had the power. This power has always
been inside you, but you simply chose not to exercise it. It's been lying dormant,
simply waiting for you to summon this power. Perhaps you've been afraid of it, or
didn't know how to use it to its full potential.
Whatever your past or current circumstances, know that the past is past. You
can't go back and make changes. Guilt is a terrible way to live. As far as I know,
there's no time machine currently available to permit you to travel back in time to
correct any mistakes or to set things right. The past is the past, so make peace
with it, accept it and move on.
The only thing you can do is learn from past mistakes and chalk it up to
experience. Once you accept this fact, you are now ready to take 100%
responsibility for your life.
Stop looking to outside sources to create your success. Look inside yourself and
you'll find the answers there. Success, however you define it, is inside you, and
not external. You have everything you need now to create your dream lifestyle.
Of course, there will always be new knowledge to gain, but first appreciate that
you have everything you need right now. You just need to be willing to take
action.
Maybe this isn't the first time you've looked for a way to make money online. You
may have a bookcase full of 'shelf-help' books, CDs and DVDs. I'm sure to a
certain degree you may have tried several programs and methods that have
worked beautifully for others. You then get inspired and want to achieve similar
results. Unfortunately, you fail to get the same outcome.
You may start to wonder, "Is it just me? Am I the only one who can't make money
online"? You're not alone; many people are singing this same song. So let's look
at three key elements you can use to break through the barriers and create your
dream lifestyle.
Key Element #1: What Is My Vision?
Having a vision for yourself is what will keep you motivated. It will also get you
through the rough spots. Working at home and having a dream lifestyle is a goal
for many people. But why don't they accomplish this goal?
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
First off, your vision must be bright and vivid enough to keep you excited. You
must see and believe that it's really going to happen. Failing to create a vision is
what causes people to sometimes become overwhelmed.
Entering a state of overwhelm can happen when you are unclear of your vision.
When you lose focus, you start bouncing around from goal to goal. This is what I
like to refer to as chasing bright shiny objects.
As much as you've heard about setting goals, if I were to say, I'll give you
$10,000 dollars if you can show me your written goal(s), would you be able to
walk away with an easy $10,000? If not, it's time to create a set of written goals.
Not taking time to do this can be a barrier to creating your dream lifestyle.
Consider the following section from a classic childhood story, 'Alice's Adventures
in Wonderland', by Lewis Carroll. In one part of the story, Alice comes upon a
Cheshire Cat and decides to ask his guidance on where she should go.
She approaches him and says, "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to
go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said
the Cheshire Cat. "I don't much care where" said Alice. "Then it doesn't
matter which way you go," said the Cheshire Cat.
"So long as I get
SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation.
Most people live their lives just like Alice. They wander around in life wondering
how come they don't get what they want. They don't care much where they go,
as long as they go somewhere. When you fail to plan and don't know where you
want to go, then any road will take you there. Don't let life happen to you, take
control by setting written goals.
Now when it comes to what your heart desires, this can sometimes be a
challenge. Here's an exercise you can do if you're struggling with what you want.
Consider this, most people can quickly rattle off what they DONT want. If this is
your case, make a list of the things, emotions, or anything you no longer want to
experience.
Once this list is complete, go back through it and write the opposite of what you
wrote. For example, if you said, "I don't want to be poor," then the opposite of
that is, "I want to be wealthy. If you don't want to be overweight, the opposite
would be, I want to be a healthy weight.
Do this as many times as it takes. Once done, choose only one goal that makes
you the most excited. This is the one goal that you're going to be absolutely
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
proud of yourself for accomplishing. The reason for only choosing one goal is so
that you will focus your time and energy on making that goal a reality.
Once you've decided on a goal, make sure to write it down and put a date on it.
A goal without a date is just a wish. For example, you can say, "On or before
February, 2010, I will earn $13,000 a month working at home, or better. Notice
how I added the words, "or better" at the end of the goal. This is so that if
something better comes along, the universe will help attract 'the better' goal to
you.
Be sure to write this goal down and keep it close to you. Place it where you will
see it often throughout the day. One thing you may want to do is have several
written copies of your goal. You may want to write this single goal on the back of
a business card and place it in your wallet. This way, when you open your wallet
throughout the day, you'll be reminded of your goal.
Also consider placing a copy on your nightstand. This way, you can review it first
thing in the morning and the last thing at night. Keep your goal as visible as
possible so you can be constantly reminded of it throughout the day. Think of a
goal as simply a dream with a deadline.
Key Element #2: What Is My Plan?
Now that you've got your written goal with a date deadline you're totally excited
about, this is where you will focus all of your energy. You'll want to have a map,
or plan, something to follow a type of methodology that you can use to make
your goal a reality.
Look to someone who is getting the result or outcome you want. Find out what
they did or are currently doing to make this happen. Consider taking them out to
lunch, or contacting them by phone. Most successful people are thrilled to share
their knowledge with you. All you have to do is ask.
Take some time putting your Plan together. You now have an exciting goal to
work on and it's time to apply laser focus. This is where you will spend your time
and energy on making your goal a reality.
Another key element to address is a lack of focus in reaching your goal. This
often leads to being overwhelmed; not knowing what steps to take next, and can
cause you to lose momentum, simply because you've become unfocused.
Make a promise to yourself that you will follow through and stay focused on your
goal. See it through to completion. Do all the steps you set out to support your
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
goal. Be aware of all the things that compete for your attention on a daily basis.
Awareness sometimes is the cure.
Now's here's a big factor give yourself permission to fail. What? Is that last
statement a typo? Don't you mean, give yourself permission NOT to fail? No, it's
not a typo! By giving yourself permission to fail, you create the knowledge that
the process of being focused is what will enable you to achieve this and future
goals.
During the process of achieving your goal, some common thoughts you may
encounter are, "What if it doesnt work?" "What if I can't lose the weight?" "Do I
know enough to do this, am I smart enough?" "Who do I think I am that I can
create my dream lifestyle?"
Sometimes when you're unfocused, you become disillusioned. This may cause
you to start looking for the 'next big thing'. You may even subconsciously create
anxiety for yourself. By giving yourself permission to fail, you remove the stress
and doubt that this goal has to be a complete success.
Stress and doubt can sometimes reduce your excitement and confidence in
achieving your goal, which may cause you to abandon it. When you start
experiencing these types of thoughts, it leads to self-doubt. This is the beginning
of a downward spiral. And pretty soon, you lose interest in achieving your goal.
Partial success will teach you that it is possible. And then the next time you set
out to reach your goal, the knowledge you gained will help you reach your goal.
Remain focused and stick to your plan.
Key Element #3: Notice Your Outcome
Finally, you'll want to periodically review your progress. You can do this at
weekly intervals. This is basically a 'goal checkup'. You want to take notice as to
whether you're making progress or standing still. You want to see what your
outcomes are. Keep in mind you'll either do things to get you closer to your goal
or further away from your goal.
The reason I suggest doing this weekly is to take corrective action if your goal is
off course. Remain flexible. Remember the 'or better' words at the end of your
goal? This may be the time to make adjustments to get you closer to your goal,
"or better". Continue to make changes along the way until you reach your goal.
Don't think that your goal must be set in stone. Keep varying your approach until
you find what works. Don't get locked into being rigid.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
If you don't like the outcome, change the actions that produce this result. It's
been said that if you continue doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting
what you've always got. This is the definition of insanity!
Creating the lifestyle of your dreams is certainly within reach. Just follow the
three key elements outlined in this article
1. Have A Vision
2. Make A Plan
3. Notice Your Outcome
Before you know it, you'll have reached your goal and you'll have a winning
formula to achieve future goals.
Wishing You Love and Abundance,

Is Letting Go
Difficult?
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
The task of letting go need not be too arduous you need to be able to gently let
go one step at a time to enable you to get used to the idea of outsourcing. Tackle
it small chunks at a time. You need to take some time out though in order to plan
and decide on how you are best going to break down your tasks into manageable
chunks and what tasks you would be willing to let go of first. Consider all the
tasks that you undertake at present and make a list to determine which ones you
enjoy the least and start with these. After a little while you will start to build a
relationship with the support people you have chosen and develop a level of
trust, a sense of confidence in their abilities and a sense of security in the
knowledge that your business is in capable hands. This will position you in the
right frame of mind to outsource more and more of your tasks.
This freeing up of your time will be a very liberating experience and you will
wonder why you hadnt done this before. What a great feeling it would be to be
able to go on holidays knowing that your business will be looked after (babysat)
and you wont have to work overtime to catch up or you may use the extra time to
gain new skills and become reacquainted with your friends and family.
Think how liberating it will be when you think of all those jobs that you can
outsource; accounts, diary management, correspondence, email management, ebook creation, marketing materials, mail outs, data entry, phone answering the
list can go on and on depending on your business requirements.
Now letting go of all the personal stuff? This is too big to deal with hear, lets save
it for another story!

Solve all the
problems of the world,
and your own, with a
few laps of the pool,
easy really
Warning: This information may cause you to feel relaxed and on top of the world.
In our part of the world, Australia, the beginning of the year marks summer
school holidays. This is a great time to dust off the bathers and towels and jump
back into the water with your family and friends. Dont be a fish out of water
when it comes to knowing just how amazing swimming is for your mind, body and
soul.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Lowimpact exercise
The elderly, pregnant women and people who are covering from surgery can all
benefit from swimming due to its low impact, it helps to relax stiff muscles and
isnt weight bearing. Swimming also increases blood circulation.
Stress reduction
Swimming is very relaxing because it allows oxygen to flow to your muscles and
forces you to regulate your breathing. With the regulated breathing and rhythm
of your strokes comes the rhythm of calming the mind and things seems to get
clearer. Answers seem to come to you to those questions which have been
bugging you as you have taken the focus off the questions. Seems weird but it
works.
This form of meditation can leave you with a sense of well-being, leaving your
session refreshed and ready to go on with the rest of your day.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Setting goals is always important. Just as in other parts of your life setting goals
is paramount. This may seem boring and Ive heard it all before. I was like that
but once I took the time to set out my goals everything else fell into place and I
became more invigorated and had a sense of achievement, great for your selfesteem.
Get the look
I must admit I love fashion. I like to look funky and comfortable. Go for the bright
bathers with the matching goggles, fins and cap. Colour co-ordination is vital for
your swimming confidence. Go out and spoil yourself you need to look the part (I
hope this doesnt sound too shallow?)
Get some help
If you havent been in the pool for a while, one-on-one lessons will help you to get
back your confidence. Swimming is like riding a bike it is a life long skill which
will come back pretty soon. If you lack the confidence in the water and have a
childhood fear of the water, dont worry, there are heaps of fantastic adult learn to
swim programmes at your local pool, worth a look. Go for it!
If you know how to swim just start off slowly. Set a goal of the number of laps
you want to swim and then set a goal to increase the number of laps you do.
Break it up with swimming laps, kicking, pull throughs (arms only) and walking in
the water. There are heaps of programmes on the internet you can use for
FREE.
Relax
I always find that if I am nervous or apprehensive about getting into something
that I havent done before, I think of something that I am good at, and that I really,
really, enjoy. I remember the last time I had that experience and take the time to
really be with that memory, creating pictures, sounds and feelings that went with
the experience. This is the state of mind you need to take with you to the pool
before you jump in and take the challenge. Dont be hard on yourself. Progress
comes with fits and starts. Keep practising and always remember how far you
have come.
Take the time to watch others around you and see how they move through the
water and look at how much fun they are having. In no time this will be you!

So, what are you waiting for?

Blogging - 5 Tips to
Help You Build
Rapport with Your
Audience
Building a relationship with your readers means the difference between the
success and failure of your blog.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
readership through their team of investigative bloggers who scour the Web
for interesting and fun things. Once you're established, you can cut back
to as little as three posts per week. I still blog Monday through Friday, with
an occasional weekend post thrown in, if I'm excited to tell people about
something. But you should never blog less than three times a week, even
when you're an established blogger.
2. Entertain: Blogging isnt about dry and boring. Blogging is about
entertainment and showing your personality. Write about things that other
people will be interested in reading about, not what you had for breakfast
or how cute your dog is. Choose a hot topic in your niche and write a
series of posts about that on a regular basis and youll get tons of traffic.
Not only will you build a readership through your posting, but the search
engines will certainly take notice and you'll be ranking in the search engine
results pages, too. In fact, if you write with a keyword in mind, you can be
on Google Blog Search in a matter of seconds! But be funny or at least
fun. Give people tips and tricks about your niche. Teach them or entertain
them, and you've got it made. Be sure to let your opinion show, too. That's
you and that's who people want to know.
3. Dont sell: Unless your blog is specifically for marketing, you should never
try to sell things in your blog posts. If you're an affiliate marketer, like I am,
you can write reviews. Then, have a link to the product in your sidebar so
that when people read your review and are interested in the product,
they'll have a convenient path to it, and you make money. For example. I
wrote about AWeber once, and have a flash banner in my sidebar so that
anyone who enjoyed the review and was interested in having this great
autoresponder that I'd just mentioned, they had an immediate way to get
to it. I didnt try to sell my readers in that review. I gave the good and the
bad, and giving the downside to the product or service is important! It
makes the review balanced and people always prefer to see both sides to
any argument. If you just laud the product, people see right through your
attempt to sell then, they may be insulted and not come back.
4. Never veer off course: Dont write posts that arent about your niche. Im
not saying NEVER do it, but if you do it once a year, thats enough.
Seriously. People who are interested in reading your blog because theyre
golfers wont care about the newest Internet marketing seminar. It's just a
total disconnect for them, and may alienate them. This is something that
you have to avoid. You'll lose total credibility and probably, a few readers.
If you're in the golf niche, stick to golf. If you're in fitness, stick to that. But,
if you have built a relationship with your readers and want to mention
something personal now and then, that's OK. If you're writing about the
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
golf niche and took a great golf holiday in Hilton Head, South Carolina,
then, that's worth writing about! People love getting to know you better.
5. Be yourself: Always write with your own voice. Dont try to make your
grammar and punctuation perfect. Im not saying that you shouldnt spell
correctly or that your writing shouldn't make sense. I am saying that it's OK
to use one-word paragraphs or ellipses when they dont really apply or
other "mechanisms" to get your point across. Im great for doing that. But I
never wrote a book that way, but blogs require a "conversational" tone and
lots and lots of you. Write like you talk. That's the best writing and blogging
advice I can give you. Just hear it in your head and write it exactly that
way. It's the best way to communicate when you can't really talk to or see
the people you're communicating with.
If you follow these five tips, youll be well on your way to pro blogger status. Just
write with your readers in mind. What will attract them and keep them coming
back to read more? Figure that out.
Thats the key to your success.
Action Box
So, what are you waiting for?
1. Set up a blog, preferably a WordPress blog on your
own hosting account.
2. Write in it every day or post videos, audios, or
pictures and write captions for them.
3. Put as much of your personality into your blog as you
can. Let your readers get to know YOU.

How I Risked
$27,000 to Get my
Figure Back and How
you Can Succeed
too!
She Succeeds
How I applied my business success principles to finally lose 33 kilos and get my
figure back.
I Challenge Me!
Recently I was in a change room trying on some dresses when I heard a woman
ask what size the shop clothing went up to and when she was told size 14 I heard
an all too familiar disheartened sigh and a parting thank you. Just a short time
ago that was me! I could not fit into anything from a normal sized clothing shop
and it was disheartening! In 2008 I decided to step up and tackle the one thing
that eluded me and that was a trim healthy body! I had a great business, a
fantastic income and loving relationships, but I also had 30 kilos of excess fat that
I carried around with me. I was tired even though most people saw me as a high
energy achiever. What I didnt know was how good being slim would feel and so I
tricked myself into thinking life was grand and for the most part it was, except
under my clothes. Its not until you become slim that you look back at who the
world was seeing and realise that that person is not you! Not the real you! Yes
Im still the same person but at the same time Im not! Does that make sense?
To the people who have lost all their weight yes, to the people who just play at
weight loss no.
Just a short year ago I was still having those conversations, you know standing in
front of the mirror ready to go out saying how nice I look but this little voice in my
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
head sayingcome on, who are you kidding, you fat b&tch! You said last
Monday you were going to stick to this diet and you didnt! You are never going to
be slim, you are just not strong enough and besides you have no will power! You
just arent meant to be slim! Go eat something!"
l have not weighed 57 kilos since I was 18 and so at 45 its hard to imagine that I
could even achieve it.
I had to use vision boards and other strategies to see my vision because I
couldnt get a picture of what I would look like in my mind. I have to tell you how
great it feels and the difference it makes to all that you do in your day.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
step up and take what you desire, your place amongst the slim, your place
amongst the successful, your place amongst those with great relationships,
careers or whatever it is your heart desires. Your family and friends can feel
challenged about their own lack of will in some areas and want you to return to
who they know. You can also be your best saboteur as getting out of our comfort
zone can be very threatening and some of us are afraid of success as much as
we are afraid of failure.
Mini Challenge!
On a serious note, if you do have weight to lose and are serious about it then go
to your local supermarket with someone you love and trust. Go to the potato
section and load up the amount of weight that your BMI or your doctor says you
should lose, not what you think you can lose but what you are supposed to lose if
you were super human and could do it.
Dont worry if you think its too much, just do it. Take those potatoes home and
put the bags on the floor in your dining room and several times a day for a week
go past and pick them all up at once. Get help!
Think about the effect this is having on your heart, your internal organs, your self
esteem, your children, your work, your love life, anything that you can think of
that it effects. Even more profound is what I did and that was to get my excess fat
in fat cut offs from the local butcher and I looked at it for a day! It is disgusting
and I dont recommend it.
The potatoes will do if you are willing to really see how much weight it is and
think of it as excess fat on your body.
I Challenge You!
I challenge you to live the most wonderfully imperfect but always growing life!
Embrace the person you are and the person you are yet to become! She is hiding
in there waiting for you to challenge her to step up and take what is rightfully
hers!
An attitude of gratitude is necessary if you are going to receive more. How can
you be ready to receive if you arent grateful for what you already have?
Come on, I challenge you to take a moment now to just feel grateful for all that
you have and all that you are yet to receive. Close your eyes for a second and
dont forget to smile while you take that moment - it adds to your bodys sense of
satisfaction plus if you are reading this in public people will wonder what you
have to be so happy about!

Renee Austin
The Law of Attraction
and Day-to-Day Life,
Taking Time to Take
Measure
Back to Basics: Sometimes one just simply has to stop, take several
deep breaths, and look around at where they are on their journey.
It started about a week ago when I had an experience that completely caught
me off guard and caused me to question over 20 years in my field and to rethink
a personal quest for success on my own. Granted, after a bit of work I was able
to muffle those internal negative voices, but the whole event shook me. Not a
pleasant situation considering that Ive always encouraged self development and
confidence building with those who have worked around me. Plus, over the past
year Id become a student of the Law of Attraction, the practice of positive
thinking and living, and had worked hard reshaping my mindset to formulate a
method for achievement.
This event did not involve tragedy or failure; rather it was a wonderful opportunity
that threw me. Here was a most incredible prospect and instead of being
energized I was in a panic! Not only that, but for 3 days leading up to this point I
had already set the intention for success by finally taking action and doing two
specific things to validate my own abilities. I was witnessing a wonderful
example of how positive thinking and intent can bring opportunity and yet I was
paralyzed by a sudden return of my old feelings of inadequacy. This was an
occasion to stop and think, to review recent events and habits, to take stock
again. In doing so I discovered I had regressed almost back to where I had
started without realizing it.
Day to day we are all faced with the tasks at hand and the business of
accomplishing as much as we can or must in a very short span of time. We are
fortunate enough to have many resources and modalities to help improve our
lives, shorten our work day, to bring in more wealth on all levels, to be more
content, to just be more. Sometimes it seems that there is so much out there that
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
information overload can completely overtake us. The very tools we use to
rebuild ourselves can become as cumbersome as the baggage were attempting
to release. It is also easy to become so immersed in our daily schedules that we
miss some critical warning signs of shifts back into our former selves. Even the
most grounded and balanced individual can be pulled back into negativity without
realizing it. Sometimes one just has to stop and regroup.
If you have already begun your journey to discovering how the Law of Attraction
works for you and are comfortable with where you are, then this is not for you just
now. If you are just starting out on transitioning into a new stage of life, or if
momentum has slowed, the creative flow has stopped, or old habits are
resurfacing, then set aside some time to review and take measure by checking
your available resources, reassessing your less than positive influences, and
taking a close look at your support systems.
Resources
There is an abundance of information on the internet and all around us,
especially with the wealth of gifts offered to draw potential clients into web sites
and special programs. Sometimes it seems like a full time job wading through all
of the possibilities. Maybe you dont have the time to review and disseminate
everything or perhaps the material isnt specific to your needs. It can be
confusing.
Ask yourself:
Are you having difficulty managing the volume of offers and emails you
receive?
Are there so many choices that you feel thrilled but also inundated?
Are you frustrated because you want to spend time in a program but have
committed to other systems?
Do you have difficulty remembering what resources you thought you might
want to get back to, but cant remember where you saw them?
Simplify (organize the flow of information):
Prioritize your e mail and open it accordingly. Delete the junk first to get
rid of clutter, open those which you are fairly certain will need immediate
action (top priority) and dispense with them. Then, what I like to do is shift
back working quickly and methodically on clearing from the least important
on up. This way you have a fabulous series of small instant successes.
Just say No. It is hard to pass up an opportunity to learn and grow, but if
you arent inclined to read beyond the initial part of a newsletter or offer or
blog, then unsubscribe. If you arent certain, then let the contacts from a
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
particular source cycle through a few times. After 4 times or more if you
are not hooked, then let them go.
What if you just know youll want to get back to a certain page or site or
program-someday? Then file it electronically. Make a chase or
downtime file in saved emails, bookmarks, or favorites and go back to it
later. Do routine maintenance and clean out what you have not reviewed
within a set period of time.
If you are just beginning, or if you have too many options on your plate,
decide on two to three on-line resources and chose a couple inspirational
books or journals that absolutely resonate with you. Use just these and
refer to them frequently. File anything else away for now. Once you feel
that you have control over your time and are able to participate at the level
you would like then consider adding on some others to expand your scope
of information. This does not mean that you cant explore other avenues
now. Just remember that it might be best to minimize for a bit.
Influences
Every now and then old ghosts of our character might creep back in without us
realizing it. We can become so involved with just functioning on a day to day
basis that we forget to look up and recognize what transitions, positive and
negative, are taking place. The good news is that as you rediscover old bad
habits and negative emotions, youll see that it requires less time and effort to
tamp them down and readjust your course.
Ask yourself:
What are your issues now and how do they differ from when you started or
from other times in your life?
What is keeping you from moving forward? Loss of confidence, lack of
organization, fear, stress, too many ideas circling in your head?
What are your time zappers?
What are your stress triggers; picking up the children on time, not having
quiet time first thing in the morning, dishes in the sink, too much noise, too
much quiet?
Are you restless? Do you need to energize, or relax? Do you know when
you need one versus the other?
Simplify (define your issues/apply solutions one at a time):
We all have an abundance of lists I know, but take a few moments to
revisit some key issues over which youd like immediate control. Choose
one at a time, write it out on a piece of paper, and keep it where you can
see it. Work on this one thing for a week, a month, however long it takes
for you to manage.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Support Systems
Cocoon yourself in as nurturing an environment as possible. If outside negative
influences are unavoidable, practice some blocking techniques to help reduce the
wear and tear on your resolve. Surround yourself with positive energy.
Ask yourself:
What is your support base; do you have one?
Are you surrounded by positive, encouraging people?
Who are the people who have inspired you over time?
What do you appreciate the most about yourself?
What do you love the most about what you do?
Simplify (organize and draw upon that which inspires you):
Get out into the world and join a local womens networking group, enjoy
the entrepreneurial spirit, bask in the synergy.
Join a mastermind group to keep yourself accountable, receive valuable
insight, and to share your successes.
Reach out to family and friends who love and support you. Try to limit
interaction with the naysayers and enthusiasm busters when it comes to
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
your plans and goals. Or, consider sweeping them along with you on the
journey to success and discovery.
Remember those who inspire you the most. I keep a board on the wall
across from my desk where I can see it when I look up. On it is a list of
people (along with a few images) who have been leaders, innovators, and
explorers in their fields. Their originality and daring remind me that I have
such potential within me as well.
Some self acknowledgment is always in order. Recognize your strengths,
talents, and abilities and bring this consciousness into every endeavor that
you seek out.
Treat yourself and take a busmans holiday. Save a favorite task for a
time when you can relish the experience and celebrate the
accomplishment instead of having to rush on to the next item on your list.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
fine to dress cozily and casually on occasion, although be sure that you
feel energized and empowered by what you have on.
Pay attention to your posture and adjust it frequently to maintain comfort
and avoid fatigue-especially if you are alone or in a casual environment.
Choose your meals and snacks carefully and maintain hydration.
Taste your food, smell the aroma, relish the moment.
Know your values, standards, principles. Maintain these.
You may not be able to do many of these things at once, especially if you are out
of practice. But taking a deliberate, thoughtful and simple approach to tweaking
aspects of your life that you feel are in need of adjusting will help to soften some
of the bumpy spots on your road.
May you have a wondrous, delightful journey filled with discovery, love,
happiness, and much success.

waste time forgiving, being nice and giving second chances until they realise he's
not the one ... and another one bites the dust! Deal-breakers are elements of a
relationship that express each persons individuality at a deep level. It takes
guidance by someone qualified to uncover your deal-breakers so you are able to
quickly separate the wheat from the chaff.
Mistake # 5 - They have hidden Limiting Beliefs which are not 'SoulmateAttractive'. Unconsciously they believe they don't deserve to find love, or think
they are unattractive, or believe there are no good men left. These beliefs are
expressed unconsciously, in different ways by different people. They might come
across as 'needy at one end of the spectrum or untouchable' at the other end.
Either way - a BIG turn-off for men.

Turning myself inside
out to make it happen
Not a contortionist, just a Twisted Connector!
Slow descent
My mother has been the chief cheerleader of my life. A vibrant, energetic woman
I did and continue to adore. She and my father lived in the granny flat behind our
house and we were close in the best possible way. Then, one day, not so long
ago, time came knocking and delivered my mother a stroke and she has started
the slow descent into oblivion and inevitable death.
Cheering heavens ante room
At the old folks home where mother now lives, there is a room where one day
she will be moved. It is the dying room and when I saw it I thought no way is my
mother ending her life in this dungeon. The view from the only window in the
room was of a blank wall. With all the possibilities that lie beyond life as we know
it a blank wall has to be the bleakest. I always imagined heavens ante room
would be its own haven where everyone could relax to say goodbye and really
mean it.
I called my friend and between the tears told her what I wanted to do. She spoke
with an artist friend and organised her teenage niece and four young students to
turn the room into a visual glade and the wall beyond the room into a garden of
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
unlimited possibilities into which the earthly mind and the eternal soul could
wander. I approached local businesses to organise the handiwork, to supply
paint, provide a superior sound system to enchant the dying and comfort those
holding their hand, a quality reclining chair for the hardy who choose to spend the
night with those departing so they have some comfort in their fitful sleep,
electrical goods so a cuppa is only the flick of a switch away, a modern trolley, a
supply of biscuits the small things I thought would make a sad time a little more
cheery. When they wheel my mum into this room I know shell be smiling.
It all happened thanks to the generosity of the people I approached and when
others expressed amazement at what I had done and asked how I managed it I
said, "I connected people". Some have needs, others have wants and theres
always a match. When it has to be done with good humour, its a role for the
Twisted Connector! The right connections are what makes businesses flourish.
Ive now turned that into what I do because its what Ive always been doing. It
feeds my soul and since Ive turned the Twisted Connector into a business, its
feeding my family too!

How to Release
Financial Fear
Fear is a low frequency emotion that can be very difficult to move or rise. With
the current climate of fear about all things financial, this simple five minute
technique could make the difference between failure and fantastic!
What to do? Traditional therapy tells you to get moving when youre feeling
afraid, to burn off some of those stress hormones that would otherwise not be
reabsorbed by the body for many hours, if not days. Or we learn to have a
conversation with ourselves; to logically test what is real and what is imagined
becoming aware if were catastrophising or have slipped into black-and-white
thinking.
Those techniques really do work, if you have the clarity of mind to have a logical,
cognitive, conversation with yourself, or even feel like youve got a spark of
energy or optimism to drag yourself out of the fear funk.
Or, you could change your emotional state by working with your bodys energy
system. Emotions are after all, just energy: e-motion = energy-in-motion. For
most of us in the Western world, were more likely to experience energy-instuckness because were taught from a very young age to suppress emotions
that we or those around us, find uncomfortable.
Then we travel through our lives gathering more of the same feelings to
suppress. It takes a huge amount of energy to keep all those bad feelings
suppressed, and eventually we explode in anger, or dissolve in tears. Often we
then regret or are embarrassed by that loss of control.
There is another way; a technique that if you choose to use it consistently, will
help you move to a whole new level of emotional freedom in every part of your
life, where you access all of your adult skills and experience to make the most of
your life. Its called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and is one of the new
wave of energy psychology techniques sweeping the counselling and coaching
professions and moving vast amounts of emotional pain that stands before it.
The best news of all is its very easy to learn and to use yourself.
Learning EFT
EFT Founder, Gary Craig, says that the root of all
discomfort is a blockage in the body's energy
system. To correct the blockages you simply tap
your fingertips on the beginning or end point of
each of the bodys main energy pathways; what
ancient Chinese healers called meridians. That
tapping movement sends a little pulse of energy
into the pathway, and combined with the words
we say and the bodys wisdom, the blockage
seems to clear. It may take a few rounds to clear
one specific issue, or it may clear in just one
round.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Remember:
Its your energy.
So you can choose
exactly what to do with it:
let it stay stuck and keep
you feeling badly, or
consciously decide to let
it move on so you get out
of fear, and get on with
your life.
Remember, this is a tapping movement so the pressure would be about the same
as if you were tapping your fingertips on the table. You don't have to bash
yourself. It's just a light tapping movement on each point a minimum of about
seven times; just keep tapping on the point until youve said the words in the
script below.

Crown of Head - C
Follow this script to try EFT. Say the words (below) while tapping the
corresponding point 6 or more times.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Firstly, focus on an issue about which youre feeling fear right now. On a scale of
1-10 where 1 is very peaceful and calm, and 10 very fearful, rate your intensity
and write it here: _____
Before you have a little conversation with yourself about whether that can be true
or not, the correct number is usually the one that first pops into your head. Your
intuition gave you that number; its usually very accurate, pay attention to it even
if you dont like the answer.
Now tap with one hand on the karate chop point of the other hand (doesnt matter
which hand), while you say the setup phrase three times:
Even though I feel really afraid about all the chaos in the financial markets and
the economy right now, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.
Even though I feel really afraid about all the chaos in the financial markets and
the economy right now and Im worried about how it might affect me, I deeply and
completely love and accept myself anyway.
Even though I feel really afraid that I might lose my job (or something else say
what) because of all the chaos in the financial markets and the economy right
now, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.
Following the diagram above, with two fingers, tap seven to ten times on each
point while saying the reminder phrase. In this case, say this fear. Move fairly
quickly, it doesnt have to be exact or slow.
1. Top of head tap 7-10 times and say, this fear
2. Eyebrow tap 7-10 times tap and say, this fear
3. Side of Eye tap 7-10 times and say, this fear
4. Under Eye tap 7-10 times and say, this fear
5. Under Nose tap 7-10 times and say, this fear
6. Chin/Under Lip tap 7-10 times and say, this fear
7. Collarbone tap 7-10 times and say, this fear
8. Under Arm tap 7-10 times and say, this fear
9. Under Breast tap 7-10 times and say, this fear
10. Creases of wrists: inside of one wrist tapping 90 degrees across the other
tap 7-10 times and say, this fear
11. Top of head again tap 7-10 times and say, this fear
12. Now check in with your feeling of fear, look for the number on the scale of 110, and write your rating number here: ______. Hopefully it is a lower number.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
If there is still a bit of charge left on this issue, tap another round beginning at the
top of your head, this time saying this remaining fear. And again rate your
feeling. Hopefully by now youre down to a 1 or even 0.
Thats it, youre done. Yes thats really all there is to it.
Some Cautions
EFT is incredibly powerful, and can shake loose energy that youve been
suppressing for years. This can make you really sleepy the first time you do it, so
be prepared for a slow few hours.
Its really important to keep well hydrated during and after EFT. If EFT is not
working for you, often its because you need more water. Keep a glass or bottle
of water beside you, and have a drink between tapping rounds.
And finally, sometimes when you shift a bunch of old stuck energy, you can have
some strange dreams! I do not believe that dreams signify anything, but if you do,
please pay attention to that in any way you feel is right for you.
Other than that, please give EFT a go and do what Gary Craig says try it on
everything!

Anyone Got a Match?
How to Rekindle Your
Passion for Life
Do you remember when you jumped out of bed before the alarm clock rang
excited to take on the day? Are you missing the passion and joy that used to fill
your days... and nights? Sometimes life becomes too hectic and overstuffed with
tasks and responsiblities. You get lost in the shuffle and lose your sense of
direction. Then one day you notice that youve lost the energy and eagerness
that used to define you. The good news is that at any moment you can stop,
reassess and rekindle your spark for life.
Often when trying to reclaim passion and rejuvenate energy, people tend to focus
on a single area in their life. They may increase their amount of exercise to rev
up their energy. They may return to a hobby they loved to reconnect with their
creative self. While these are excellent strategies, it is important to remember
that you are multidimensional and all of you needs to be cared for body, mind
and spirit.
To rekindle your passion for life, select strategies from each of the three
categories. Embrace the activities with eagerness and anticipation. Know that the
time and energy you channel to these activities is a gift and revel in the love that
youre giving yourself. Dont make these a chore added to your already
overloaded to-do list. Its within a state of love and self care that the magic of the
universe flows to you.
Body
Your body is the vehicle that carries you through this life. It is the only one you
get. If you do not care for it, it will wear out and break down before you reach
your final destination. Without regular maintenance, it wont operate at peak
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
performance and you will lack the energy, ability and motivation to participate in
life with passion and joy.
Here are some regular maintenance routines to keep your body road-ready:
Get physical - Your body is made to move. It needs to stretch, strengthen, and
exert itself beyond its usual demands in order to stay in tip top shape. Especially
if you have a sedintary desk job, you need to plan exercise into your daily routine.
Choose an activity that is fun for you. For me, my two dogs provide the perfect
encouragement to take a brisk 30 minute walk each evening.
Nourish your body Its easy to get caught up in the convenience of processed
and fast foods. But so often they contain artificial preservatives, colourings and
flavourings that dont belong in your body. Dedicate one week to eating entirely
natural, whole foods. Start with fresh ingredients and create meals that are
delicious and nutritious. It doesnt have to be elaborate or time-consuming.
Poached chicken breasts, steamed fresh vegetables, and fluffy rice are staples in
my house.
Dance to your favourite song There is something special about music. It
touches you at the deepest level. I cant think of anything more inspiring than
turning on a groovn song and dancing like no one is watching. You enjoy it so
much that you dont even notice youre getting a great workout. Dancing
strengthens muscles you dont usually use, builds your cardiovascular fitness and
enhances coordination. Best of all, you dont need any special moves or steps.
Simply listen to the music and let your body move to the rhythm.
Play Children are wonderful role models for this. They can burst into play at any
moment with little provocation. Their play is spontaneous, physical and joyful.
Next time you hear a cascade of giggles coming from your kids, join in. No kids
no problem. Remember back to your own childhood and revive some of the
activities that brought you joy. Some of my favourites include making snow
angels, rolling down hills, playing tag, climbing trees and catching fire flies at
dusk. Remember, no planning needed - just let loose and laugh.
Do a cleanse Our bodies are exposed to and absorb toxins from a variety of
sources including poor diets, environmental pollutants and stress. These harmful
substances accumulate in the body and contribute to poor health, low energy and
lethargy. Cleansing is the process of ridding the body of toxins. While there are
many types of cleanses, they generally include restricting your diet and exposure
to common toxins for a week or two while supporting your body with herbs and
vitamins. Always work with your doctor, nutritionist or health coach to determine if
a cleanse is right for you.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Mind
You have been given an incredible gift that has capabilities beyond what you are
currently using. Its kind of like receiving a new top of the line mobile phone for
your birthday. There are so many features that you use the minimum functionality
and are darn proud of that. The catch with your mind is that if you dont use it you
lose it. To rekindle your passion for life and keep that flame burning you must
engage your mind in meaningfully ways.
Here are a few ways to build mind muscle:
Read a book When you are involved with a good book hours can pass in a
flash. Whether you prefer fiction or nonfiction, historic or futuristic, personal
development or biographical, you can find a book to capture your imagination
and stretch the boundaries of your knowledge. For extra benefit, pull together a
group of friends and form a book club to discuss the tome.
Take up a new hobby The mind gets a special kind of work out when you
engage it in creative tasks. By learning a new hobby you are investing time in
yourself to develop skills, commit to personal time and focus your mind. Hobbies,
especially the kind that produce something - provide a deep sense of
accomplishment and satisfaction that you can carry over into other areas of your
life.
Teach your skills to another Nothing solidifies your comprehension of a topic
more than teaching it to another. In teaching you need to review the knowledge
you have, synthesize it into a concise packet of information and explain it in a
way others will understand and engage with. Teaching allows you to develop a
new skill set while contributing to others development. Talk about a win-win.
Sing a song Not only is music great for the body, but its wonderful for the mind
as well. Music has been used in cultures and generations to pass down traditions
and bond people together. Music literally shapes your brains and involves more
parts of your brain than even language. In fact music is so powerful that it is used
to help people recover from strokes and other neurological damage. The benefits
of music to a healthy mind cannot be overestimated. So go ahead... sing a song,
sing out loud, sing out strong.
Dream Despite what you may have been told as a child, day dreaming is, in
fact, a very productive activity. When you spend time dreaming about what you
want your life to be like, you are creating new neural pathways that help you
make it a reality. If you read interviews or biographies about people who have
achieved great success, without fail they created a strong vision or dream of their
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
goal to keep them focused and motivated. As the law of Attraction tells us,
whatever you think about, you bring about. Why not make it your dream life?
Spirit
Sometimes its easier to focus on the tangible, physical reality you see in front of
you. The physical fitness and beauty industries can attest to that. But just as
important, if not more, is caring for your spiritual needs. When you support and
nourish your spirit, the energy and love that you gain carries you through the
other activities you take on. Use your feelings to guide you in selecting ways to
care for your spiritual needs. If you listen closely, you will hear everything you
need to know.
Here are some suggestions to keep your spirit soaring:
Visit your local botanical gardens Nature has a special way of filling you up.
Spending time in nature, noticing its beauty its colours, patterns, textures,
sounds brings calm and peace. It allows you to connect with a deep and divine
energy that resounds with you to the core. If you cant head out of the city, make
use of the green spaces in your community. Visit the local parks, gardens, zoos,
and aquariums.
Send a thank you card Gratitude is the fastest way to achieve the life of your
dreams. By focusing on and being grateful for the blessings in your life right now
(even if they are blessings of opportunity) you can, in an instant, change your
life. Invariably gratitude brings with it a sense of prosperity and peace. And when
you take the additional step of expressing gratitude to another person, you not
only add magic to your own life, but to theirs as well.
Learn a new joke Then tell it often and laugh with exuberance. Youve heard
that laughter is the best medicine. Research shows that laughter prevents
inflammation in the body and reduces the effects of stress. It raises your spirit in
an instant and bonds you to others with whom you are sharing the laugh.
Laughter helps you restore emotional balance and even a simple smile can
dissolve tensions and create ripples of harmony.
Pamper yourself If I asked you to make a list of all the people you take care of,
how long would it be? Would you be on that list? When life becomes hectic often
the first responsibility that goes unmet is self care. Yet if you are not replenished
and nourished, you cannot tend to your other responsibilities. Take time to
pamper yourself. Decide what that means to you. For some pampering is a
manicure or massage at the spa. For others its quiet time alone to reflect, read
or simply rest. For others it is the hot bubble bath by candle light. Make a list of
what you find pampering and start indulging.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Meditate One of the greatest teachers you will ever have is your own heart.
You can access its lessons through meditation. Meditation is the purest form of
listening. Although there are many techniques, the essence of meditation is to get
still, breathe slowly and consciously and listen internally. Meditation teaches you
to experience more of the present and more of yourself. It allows you to tap into
your divine wisdom and fills you with peace.
You are a miraculous being. As such you deserve to be cared for and nourished
in body, mind and spirit. At every moment you are one decision away from
creating the life of your dreams. It is your choice to make. Will you choose to
continue at a frenetic pace barely noticing life flying by you? Or will you choose to
dedicate time each day to rejuvenate and strengthen yourself?
Your life is meant to be a joyous adventure. Replenish your tanks and soon youll
be cheering, Woo hoo, what a ride!
Action Box
So, what are you waiting for?
1. Select at least one strategy you can use to keep your
body in tip top condition. Once that becomes a lovely
routine, add another one.
2. Identify ways you are currently building your mind
muscle. Add new strategies to the list. Now start
working your way through the new strategies.

The Single Most
Powerful Driver of
Business Success
And it's not what you think, almost certainly not what you're doing, and so easily
within your grasp!
The Law of Attraction requires that you have a clear, vivid sensory map in your
mind of specifically what you want to attract.
It requires that you be able to summon or conjure up this sensory map of what
you want on demand, and keep it as the dominant thought in your mind. Its a
simple concept, but for many, not at all easy.
It can be hard to get clear enough about what you want, what you really want.
Hard to paint, tune and sculpt the details that bring it to life in your mind strongly
enough to begin bubbling up the emotions of excitement and burning desire that
fuel the attraction process.
Its not enough to chant to yourself more customers are coming or more
revenue is on its way or I have all the time I need to do what matters or my
customers are loyal raving fans. The more clearly that you can create that
sensory map of what you really want and in intricate detail, engaging all five
senses; sight, sound, smell, taste and touch, the more magnetic it will be.
But will that do?
Actually, nothing.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
If the Law of Attraction were that straightforward to apply, everyone who has tried
it would be transformed. Rather, it takes some very deliberate practice:
1. You have to stay focused, very focused on what it is that you want.
2. You have to be able to recognise when its happening.
3. You have a responsibility to allow it to happen.
If you want to accelerate your skill at attracting the results you want in your
business by practicing these three things, theres something that will help you
and it will work like magic.
Its something few business owners have but anyone can get.
Its very misunderstood, but relatively easy to do, when you learn to see it for
what it really is and not for what youve always assumed it was.
Its seen as boring by those that dont have it, but those that do wouldnt be
without it.
Its what many would perceive as being at the opposite end of the spectrum to
Law of Attraction, even though its very roots are in the language of the universe.
You probably wont like it.
But its power to paint, tune and sculpt the sensory map of what you really want
to attract and to keep your attention riveted upon it, is astounding.
Its measurement.
Measurement is essentially about understanding patterns and change objectively
and dispassionately, without bias or ambiguity. Measurement is a descendant of
mathematics, the language of the universe, the language that describes all we
know about the inconceivably small phenomena of sub-atomic particles, to the
mind boggling immense phenomena of the cosmos.
Dont see measurement as trivial quantification of intangible qualitative
experiences. Dont see measurement as the mind-bending-back-onto-itself
domain of dusty grey university professors.
Measurement can be found in things as beautiful as snowflakes, as elegant as
the Earths orbit around our sun, as intriguing as da Vincis Vitruvian man.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Even a fern frond begins small, timid and stunted, but unfolds and stretches out
to become the beautifully exquisite frond it was designed to become, in its own
good time.
Your business measures will track that process from where you are beginning
now, all the way to where you want to be. Theyll be the feedback that excites
you as you see that what you want to attract is indeed coming.
Your business measures will also nudge you when youre blocking the attraction
process.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Start to unfurl the success in your business by giving 15 minutes at the start of
each day to practice measuring, so you begin with the end in mind.
Action Box
So, what are you waiting for?
1. Spend some time to create that rich, sensory map of
what you want to attract into your business, in the
language of results. Remember, its not about just
one result, like profit. Its about the interplay of
several results that give your business sustainability
and balance.
2. Create just a few very relevant measures of those
results, measures that build on the sensory
description by making those results far easier to
recognise when theyre happening.
3. Refer to your measures every week (maybe even
daily) to remind you of what matters most in your
business, to help you stay focused on attracting those
things, and to give you the feedback on how well they
are manifesting.

Most of us take it for granted that we will be able to have food, water and shelter
for ourselves and our families. These things are the most basic elements to life.
In order to get those things as adults, most of us have to leave the home on a
regular basis and produce something that pays for those basic elements. That
definitely leads to transportation and a vehicle of our own. As women, our biggest
concern is safety when it comes to that car. We assume all of the vehicles sold
today are safe, but there is much more to the subject and there are many things
we can do to increase that element on our own.

upset for hours or days depending how much of past burden and pain he is
carrying.
In the process of manifesting abundance it is very important for you to maintain
high vibrations of love, gratitude and appreciation. These vibrations keep you
aligned to your divine source and abundance. Negative vibrations disconnect you
from your source and from abundance. Since A has a good self esteem his
visualizations will manifest more easily than B who in spite of visualizing his goal
regularly may remain stuck because of his negative vibrations.
Low self esteem is a very common problem but we can resolve this with
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). People are not born with low self esteem,
negative life experiences make one feel that he/she is not good enough.
Example: A mother expresses disappointment over her childs failure in a subject
in a harsh manner and comments about how well his older sibling has done. This
may make the child feel that he is failure, he cannot make his mother happy, his
brother is better than him and he is not good enough.
This belief of not being good enough gets reinforced from recurring difficult
experiences.

months you would have cleared 90 Memories. If the memories are intense please
contact an EFT Practitioner. EFT is a natural therapy but as with any healing
modality, you must take complete responsibility for the use of this technique.
Once you have done this process,
You will feel light and happy
You will notice that peoples negative comments no longer bother you
Your goals will manifest more easily
You will feel really good about yourself
You will manifest good health. Remember physical ailments are a cry from
your body to resolve the underlying emotional issues.
Your visualizations will feel more real and will manifest easily. Remember
with this process you have already embraced an abundance of wellness.
We are all divine and though lifes journey we sometimes forget our true nature.
By doing this process you will embrace the real divine you.
From my experience I feel that people with low self esteem block abundance and
they conclude that the Law of Attraction does not work. The Law of Attraction is a
universal law and it works. But we need to be in vibrational alignment with your
goals and with vibrations of love, gratitude, appreciation and abundance. For this,
enhancing self esteem is the first step.
If you are passionate about Abundance, do not run around in circles, take a
systematic approach. Even if you have to spend some time on this process
remember you are not only building a strong base for abundance but you are
also embracing your personal power. You can now live life with confidence and
peace. So make a decision today to create a good self esteem.

Are you Suffering
from Compassion
Fatigue?
Why it is so important to take care of YOU first!!!
After all...no-one else will - or can!
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
inappropriate way. This is a sure sign that you are feeling stressed and out of
balance and need to take charge of the moment. Now!
The term Compassion Fatigue comes from the extreme emotional impact
suffered by relief workers both volunteers and professionals - who work
tirelessly to provide whatever physical and emotional help is required to the
victims of monumental disasters bushfires, earthquakes, bombings, floods or
violence of some sort.
The overwhelming scale of such widespread suffering often leaves them feeling
ill equipped to deal effectively with the subsequent emotional effects and they
can start to feel useless, even doubting that what they contribute will have any
effect at all. Over time they can start to lose their sense of humour and their usual
coping mechanisms and become numb inside, feel isolated, depressed, become
moody or angry, overindulge in alcohol, food or drugs to cope and many other
symptoms.
Unfortunately, they lack simple and effective techniques that can help them to
cope by clearing away the emotional pain and debris. Many Dru Yoga techniques
have been used with remarkable success from war zones to therapy centres,
helping dispel fear, anger and compassion fatigue, allowing them to open up to
feelings of hope and peace.
This is the extreme end of the scale of compassion fatigue. There are however
varying degrees, and many times I have seen similar effects within people who
have the ongoing responsibility for caring for someone at home. Often they also
work in caring professions and so are constantly giving out in all directions
everyday.
Many carers (home-based or professionals such as nurses, counsellors, police,
fire-fighters and doctors) unconsciously reach this point that is now referred to as
Compassion Fatigue. Where they get a little (or a lot) numb inside through
constantly dealing with the expectations and commitments of looking after
everyone elses sufferings, traumas and problems. Or, if you have a disabled,
mentally or physically ill or an elderly person living in the home the continual
stress and worry builds up over time, leading to many of the symptoms described
earlier.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
strength by replenishing that inner well, so that you have the resources within to
keep on giving out to those you care about. This is where you truly can put the
Law of Attraction into Action!
Over many years I have worked as a nurse and a therapist, treating and caring
for many people suffering from the after effects of stress - on their minds and
their bodies. I have always worked in a caring role. Now, one of my specialist
areas is teaching Carers how to look after themselves, as well as their loved
ones, using natural therapies and Dru Yoga in their home. They have to combine
caring for someone at home with all the usual demands of life. The people may
have cancer, dementia, autism, ADD, ADHD, stroke, mental illness or a myriad
of other chronic illnesses.
When you think about it though, we are all carers. Women particularly seem to
fall into that role being the mother, daughter, wife etc. Often it is just assumed
that you will do whatever it takes - pick up the pieces, organise this or that, be
there to console or help. However, many men are equally committed in their roles
as carers too. We all care, and generally we all care so much that we forget to
take the time to look after ourselves.
The days can sometimes be daunting as they seem to fly by and you just dont
seem to get through everything that you had hoped to do. If you continually put
pressure on yourself to do too much, or give too much of yourself, you can
become physically drained, worn out or even become sick. If we ignore the early
warning signs of stress, the next thing the universe sends to warn us is the Mac
truck usually in the form of an illness that forces us to stop.
Overwhelm can indeed be overwhelming!

Take a deep breath in through your nose and focus on feeling the cool air flowing
down through your nostrils and into the top of your lungs, silently and slowly
counting to 4. Continue to focus on your breath as it fills your lungs completely,
gently pushing your diaphragm down towards the pelvis as the abdomen rises up
and out slightly.
Hold the inbreath momentarily just enjoy it and then breathe slowly all the
way out, silently and slowly counting to 4, completely emptying your lungs. Pause
for a moment and enjoy the emptiness briefly, before once again breathing in
deeply, completely filling the lungs. Pause, and enjoy the fullness of your breath.
Then exhale slowly and completely. Repeat several times.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
couple of times a day to perhaps several times in an hour. Add that up over a day
and then a week, and then a month, and it becomes quite easy to see how
different you will feel in a short period of time.
I suggest you start with doing 2 or 3 breaths when you stop at every traffic light
as you drive to and from work or anywhere else that you drive. If you commute, it
is even easier to do some quiet, slow breaths while you are sitting on the train,
plane or bus. And then, add a calm and centering breath every time you sit down
at the computer, or check your emails, or go to the bathroom. Just another 1 or 2
deep breaths.
Before you realise it, you will be enjoying little moments of peace throughout your
day and experiencing the positive effects in your life. Your improved calm
responses (not knee-jerk reactions!) to those in your family or workplace will soon
be noticed and appreciated. And, when you are feeling relaxed, calm and clear
your mind is in the perfect place for really visualising and creating the life of your
dreams!

What actions will you take today?

http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
The creditor decided to sue Joe alone for the entire outstanding debt because he
was obviously the one with deep pockets. Joe finally reached a settlement with
the creditor and paid the creditor $40,500.00 plus the creditors legal costs. He
decided not to seek recourse against his fellow directors because he knew that 2
of them would have had to suffer financial hardship to pay him back their portion
of the settlement sum. Joe felt it was unfair to just pursue the third director for
payment while letting the other 2 off the hook. He lives in hope that one day he
will get his money back from all 3 of them even though the company no longer
exits!
Joe told me that if he had understood the meaning of a "joint and several
guarantee", he would have resigned his directorship rather than sign the
guarantee. If he had come to see me about the guarantee upfront, it would have
cost him $250.00 to get the advice he needed. This could have saved him
$48,000.00 (when legal costs are added to the settlement sum), and the many
long hours and heartache he had to endure in defending the case.
The proverb, a stitch in time saves nine, now rings true for Joe. You can always
ask a lawyer what is involved in your matter, what needs to be done and how
much it would cost before deciding whether you want to proceed. Be mindful and
take responsibility to ensure you are on the right legal path.
If you have any lingering doubts about how the law applies to you and your
business, now is the time to take action to bolster your ability to stay in business
and to grow your business confidently and successfully. One way to do this is for
you to find the right lawyer to be on your support team.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
The lawyer you choose is very much like your family doctor who knows your
medical history thoroughly and is well placed to ensure you get the right medical
treatment and follow ups. If there is any complication, the lawyer, just like your
family doctor, will be able to refer you to an appropriate specialist to further assist
you.
To kick start your search for the right lawyer, you may want to create a short list
of 3 lawyers and arrange for a face to face meeting with each of them. The
purpose of the meeting is for you to identify who will be the right lawyer for you.
Before meeting with each lawyer, it will be good to ensure that the meeting is on
a no obligation basis and that you will not be required to pay the lawyer for the
meeting.
The first key is to find a lawyer with expertise and experience relevant to your
business. For example, If you are a retailer with several stores in major shopping
centres, you may want to have a business lawyer who has a large number of
clients in the retail business and who is also well versed in retail leasing. You will
not choose a family lawyer to advise you on your business matters just as
someone with a heart problem will not consult a brain surgeon but will consult a
cardiologist.
Doesnt this seem obvious? Yet many business owners consult a lawyer based
on a referral without first ascertaining that the lawyer is really suitable for them
and their business. Consequently, they often do not get the advice which they
need and deserve.
You can avoid this common pitfall by ascertaining whether the lawyer has the
expertise and experience to advise you in your area of business. Find out
whether the lawyer has handled matters which are relevant to your business,
how long the lawyer has been handling such matters and the percentage of such
matters to the rest of the lawyers current practice.
Key 2
Your Values
The second key is to have a lawyer who shares your values or at least
understands and supports them. Many business owners have an uneasy
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
relationship with their lawyer and feel that they are pulling in different directions at
the same time. The cause of this predicament often stems from a mismatch of
values between the business owner and the lawyer.
In order to have an excellent relationship with your lawyer and to ensure you are
both headed in the same direction with your business, it is best that you find one
who will at least understand and support your values. For example, if you value
peace and win-win solutions, you would want a lawyer who can appreciate and
support these values and better still, if the lawyer shares these values.
Otherwise, it can be stressful for you if your lawyer happens to be a very tough
and competitive negotiator who drags out negotiations by holding out for a win
for you and a lose for the other side.
Be clear on your values especially your business values. Make a list of your
values and consider each of them to ensure that they resonate well with you.
Once you have finalised the list, discuss the list with your short-listed lawyers.
Take note of their responses carefully and gauge who will best support your
values and help you to reflect them in your business dealings.
Key 3
Risk Profile
The third key is to check on the risk profile of the lawyer and ensure that it fits
your risk management style.
Are you someone who enjoys taking huge
business risks and love the adrenalin rush that goes with it? If you are, then can
you imagine what it would be like if your lawyer is highly conservative and prefers
to play safe all the time?
Your response could be That is great! At least here is someone who will make
sure I dont run straight into trouble. On the other hand, another business owner
may have a totally different response and say That scaredy cat lawyer will just
drive me nuts! I need a gung-ho can-do lawyer who will help me operate at the
fringe (of legal limits) because that is where big money is made.
When you meet up with your short-listed lawyers, find out whether the lawyer
shares your approach to business risks. If not, then you may consider whether
you see their approach as a benefit or a hindrance to the way you conduct your
business. Each of us may have a different response to the same risks and
ultimately, only you can decide on the lawyer to help you manage your business
risks.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Key 4
Communication
The fourth key is to ensure that your lawyer is able to communicate clearly with
you. No matter how brilliant a lawyer may be, it is pointless if the lawyer is
unable to explain legal concepts and issues in simple laymans language or in a
manner in which you can understand clearly. If you are unclear about what you
need to do to stay out of trouble in the legal arena, it is like playing Russian
Roulette it becomes a game of chance and if you happen to be unlucky, you
may find yourself in deep trouble with the law.
While meeting with your short-listed lawyers, listen closely to their language. Is it
filled with legal jargon or is it simple to understand? If your lawyer is able to
explain things clearly to you, it is likely that the same lawyer will be able to
communicate clearly with third parties on your behalf. This would help your legal
matters to move quickly and be resolved expeditiously. The benefit for you is
that it will save you time and money in the long run.
Key 5
Service
The fifth key is to ascertain if the lawyer is readily available to provide you with
the service you desire. It is pointless to have a lawyer who is too busy to talk to
you or do your legal work. For business owners, time is money. The sooner you
conclude a deal, the sooner you start making money. While it is unrealistic to
expect things to happen immediately and for contracts to be drawn up on the
spot, you want to avoid unnecessary delays.
Find out from your short-listed lawyers what is their existing work load and
whether they will be able to take your calls and devote sufficient time and
attention to your matters. What is their response time? If someone else will be
doing the work instead of the lawyer, you need to find out who they are and their
level of expertise and experience. Will the lawyer be supervising their work?
It is best to set out your expectations of the level of service you want upfront and
to get a commitment from the lawyer that these expectations can be readily met.
Otherwise, you may find one of your business deals in the pipe line going through
a bottle neck just when you want it to be concluded expeditiously - this can be
very frustrating for you and the party on the other side of the deal.
Key 6
The sixth key is to test how flexible are the billing and payment options of the
lawyer especially when your business cash flow has peaks and troughs during
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
the year.
Different lawyers have different ways of charging legal fees and
disbursements.
Some lawyers have flexible arrangements and you may negotiate on a case to
case basis on whether you will pay legal fees on a time basis or on a fixed fee
basis. The advantage of having a fixed fee arrangement is that you know the
legal costs upfront for your matter. However, most lawyers will list what is
included in the fixed fee. If there are other items of work which are not on the list,
the lawyer will usually let you know about them before hand and you will be
required to pay for them.
If you agree to be charged on a time basis, you would need to know what are the
hourly rates and what is the approximate total cost for your matter. In addition,
you may also want to request that you be notified when the legal bill reaches a
certain sum so that you have some measure of control over how your matter is
being run.
Some lawyers offer different billing periods such as fortnightly or monthly
intervals. Some may agree on billing intervals when a certain amount of legal
fees have been incurred eg. billing at $2,000 intervals.
Some business owners prefer to have itemised billing from their lawyer ie. the
lawyer provides a list of each item of work done in relation to the matter. This
allows the business owner to gauge generally whether the legal costs have been
incurred fairly.
You may want to discuss with your short-listed lawyers their billing and payment
options. Test how flexible they are with their options and whether they are
prepared to consider other options. Ascertain what suits you best and how this
works with the cash flow of your business.
Key 7
The seventh key and a very important one is the trust you have in your lawyer.
The level of trust must be such that it will enable you to be totally honest and
open with your lawyer. It requires disclosing the good, the bad and the ugly so
that your lawyer will have the complete picture and understanding of the
background, facts and circumstances of your matters. Such information is vital
for your lawyer to act in your best interest at all times.
Only you can tell whether you trust a particular lawyer. For some, trust is based
on a gut feel. For others, it is the result of painstaking checks and references.
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com
Whether trust for you is based on a gut feel or otherwise, it is prudent to ask each
lawyer on your short list for at least 3 references. Take the extra step of checking
out these references and make sure that there are no adverse findings against
the lawyer in disciplinary proceedings.
Make a Decision
These 7 Keys are intended to help you to find the right lawyer for you. They are
by no means exhaustive and you can add others. The responses of your short
listed lawyers will show their strengths and advantages as well as their
weaknesses and disadvantages. Ultimately the choice lies with you and the
weight you place on these responses in helping you to reach a decision.
Deliberate on your findings and make a decision. Good luck in your search and
may you soon have the right lawyer on board as part of your support team!
