Over the summer I was asked by the talented Kim Doyal (some of you may know her as The WordPress Chick) to take part in a new movie she was producing that would celebrate the accomplishments of some of the Internet’s most successful business women—along with motivating and inspiring others to take that crucial next action step toward achieving their own successful online business.

I flew out to LA for the shoot with Kim and had a lot of fun being part of this important project. [Thank you, Kim for all your hard work in putting this together! You are a true professional and a pleasure to work with!] You can read more about our meeting here on The Women in Business 2.0 Blog. It was a true honor to share the spotlight with Mari Smith, Ali Brown, Denise Wakeman, Dr. Debra Condren, Loral Langemeier and several other amazing women.

I’m a firm believer that when we witness what others have accomplished in life and business—including their challenges, setbacks, breakthroughs and successes—we send ourselves a powerful message that says “If THEY can do it, why can’t I?”  This movie is going to do that for you. You’ll be inspired by the personal stories shared and you’ll see just how each of the women featured took a No Excuses Approach to accomplishing their dreams for their businesses and their lives. It will leave you feeling inspired, incredibly excited about your own future and ready to take action with business coaching for women! I can’t wait for you to watch it.

Women in Business 2.0 The Movie is almost ready for release but until then Kim is offering a sneak peek preview on the movie site. So take a few minutes to check it out and then leave a comment below to let me know your feedback!

Oh, and one more thing before I forget! Kim is offering the opportunity to win a free copy of the movie.  All you need to do is answer a very simple question: “What do you think watching this movie can do for YOUR business?” Leave your answer for Kim on the movie blog or on the Women in Business 2.0 Facebook FanPage.

What a whirlwind-y, fabulously awesome week last week! We kicked it off with our Gold Mastermind retreat, where my Gold clients flew in from all over the world (as far away as Japan, Dubai, Germany and the UK) to get strategies and mastermind about getting more clients and making a lot more this year and beyond. We topped it off with a ridiculously fun Halloween party (and Costume Contest). I have to tell you, I never in my wildest dreams imagined that they would put so much effort and creativity in the costumes. It was mind blowing! Although they were ALL fabulous, the clear winner was http://www.camposcoaching.com/Angelina Campos from Hawaii, who came as a body-painted mermaid. Yes, she hired someone who spent two hours putting BODY PAINT on her (no clothes.) She’d set the intention that she was going to win, and boy, did she ever! Congratulations on winning the Grand Prize, Angelina!

(Clearly, this will become an annual tradition for our Gold retreats. I’ll post pictures of the entire Halloween party and Gold meeting on my FaceBook page. Enjoy!)

That same day, Gold Mastermind client Dawna Brown from Germany won the Implementation Contest by sharing with us everything she’d implemented since our last live meeting in June. The highlight? Dawna made more than $79,000 in just 4 months after implementing what she learned at the last Gold retreat. Way to go, Dawna!

And Friday was moving day for the Fredrickson family! While I spent the day strategizing with my new Sapphire Elite client Pauline Fleming here at our “workhouse”, the movers were busily transferring our belongings to our new FABULOUS house. I can’t tell you how much this means to me as I’ve had my eye on this house for 5 years and have been manifesting it ever since. A dream come true!

“A desire can overcome all objections and obstacles.” —Anonymous

You’ll always get objections. Let’s face it. You may have the world’s best service, the best product available in your category or industry, but no matter what you do, no matter how good you are, you’re always going to have to deal with objections. (more…)

Would you be surprised if I told you I’ve actually mentored a LOT of marketing consultants and business coaches who help others build their businesses? Many of these consultants and coaches come to me because, even though they know how to put these steps into practice, they still don’t have a full practice, or at least not consistently. WHY?

The reason is simple. They don’t market consistently. What usually happens to most self-employed professionals is they get caught up in the everyday of their business and when they have clients, they focus their entire days on those clients. (more…)

Many people have massive doubt about their ability to do something really big in this world, including myself up until recently. They wonder whether they have what it takes or whether they’re “good enough.” And recently, I talked to you about taking the great leap of faith, really expanding your vision of what’s possible for your business, for your clients and for yourself, and ‘Going BIG or Going HOME’. (more…)

I’ve met and forged both business and personal relationships with some really amazing people through Twitter.  I’ve discovered new friends, experts on topics I’m interested in, new and potential clients and made so many other connections. For that, Twitter is really an invaluable resource, don’t you agree?  I was thrilled and honored to see today that I’ve been included on Natalie Sisson’s Womanz World as One of the Top 20 Women to Follow on Twitter. Pretty cool, right?

Thanks Natalie! You can find Natalie on Twitter at @WomanzWorld.  It’s an honor to be in such good company and I hope you’ll take a few minutes to check out the list to see who else Natalie recommends. I know I will.

Not yet on Twitter? You can join instantly and we can connect here. I can’t wait to share with you…

Wooohoooo! It’s official. We’re moving to our new dream home in a couple of weeks. Since last year, I’ve been quietly manifesting the purchase of a very specific and absolutely gorgeous home, and I’m happy to say we manifested it, included the quick selling of our current home. I’m thrilled, and happy-nervous, as it’s a big upgrade. For me, it’s a humbling reminder that, with the right focus, belief, faith, action and positive expectation, you can create ANYTHING you want in your life. Anything. (That’s what I demonstrated so powerfully for the Mindset Retreat attendees last week in Miami.)

Speaking of creating what you want in your life, it’s time we get serious about growing your business. If you want to work with me directly to grow your business and get YOUR message out there in the world in a much bigger way, and multiply your income, now’s the time. (Seriously, if not now, when? There’s no time to waste.) So, just a quick mention that I’m currently accepting applications for my Mastermind groups and Private Coaching programs. You can still apply by going to the Client Attraction Winners Academy info page to watch videos, read about the different programs and download the application. Send it in to me and I’ll personally read it to help you determine which mentoring program will create the best results for you.

(By the way, I spoke to another client this morning who started working with me a year and half ago, who was making $150,000 back then, frustrated and unhappy, and who just crossed the million-dollar-mark in her business with my help. If you’re interested in similar results, fill out the application and let’s talk this week.)

I’m convinced that everyone’s really just looking for a shortcut. Over the last 11 years of working with clients privately and in groups, the more I offer my products and services, the clearer I am that we all just want an easier way out. Well, not because we’re lazy; it’s more that we’re completely overwhelmed.

Half the time, I feel like I’m drinking from an information fire hose. If you’re anything like me, you’re bombarded, and I literally mean bombarded by information, all day long. There’s unwanted information (ads and pop-ups) and also WANTED information, stuff you asked for or paid for, and actually do want to get (like something you’re trying to learn to improve yourself or your business). I didn’t even mention the hundreds of emails I get per day that I can’t always respond to, even though my intention is there. (more…)

QUOTE: “Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.” – Ghandi

Sometimes, despite the stellar marketing plans, our “positive thinking”, our resolve, our determination and manifesting, we have doubts about whether we can really “do” this. Let’s admit it. Sometimes fear steps in anyway, despite our best intentions. The inner doubt begins to take over and we wonder if it’s really going to “happen”.

Thing is, the way we feel about our business directs the actions that we take. And of course, the actions we take (in marketing and otherwise) inevitably create the results we experience in our business. Those actions we choose to take (or not) determine how many clients we have, our level of 1ncome, and the opportunities that we take advantage of.

So, that said, how we FEEL and ACT is crucial in the process of creating the business we want. But often, especially in times of doubt, we’re not sure how to get back to a good-feeling place, do we? We want the direction of our business to change, we want a solution to our problems to arrive. Essentially, we want a “miracle” to show up and take care of everything.

If you’re at all spiritual like I am, you already know intellectually that when we expect a miracle, a miracle shows up. If we have faith that good things are on their way, they show up, and there’s a lot to be said about positive expectation. This isn’t about positive thinking. This is about faith and positive expectation and faith counts for everything in this game.

Problem is, most people have a difficult time actually staying in a place of deep faith that what they envision for their business (and their life) is on its way. It takes a lot of courage to BELIEVE that the results are indeed coming. But when you believe, that process of faith is the biggest magnet for bringing prosperity to your business and into your life.

So, how do you have faith when the current situation you are experiencing doesn’t quite match the situation you want to create? ACT AS IF. Acting “as if” helps give you the confidence to act in a different way, to be more bold, to have less doubt.

What would actually happen if you believed that the solution, change or miracle you were looking for was actually on its way to you right now? Would you change the way you act and feel? Asking yourself the following question, how would you respond?

• Would you walk into your purpose with more assurance?
• Would you feel more confident?
• Would you trust yourself more?
• Would you trust that the actions you’re taking would yield results?
• Would you see the speed bumps as just that, a speed bump, instead of a mountain?
• Would you feel more powerful?
• Would you feel more empassioned by your purpose?
• Would you move with more intent?
• Would you feel more awake and await your next opportunity?
• Would you be less afraid?
• Would you sweat the little details less than you do now?
• Would you act with speed?
• Would you feel a bit more confident about the fact that all things will “work out”?
• Would you follow your intuition a bit more?
• Would you act from your heart rather than from your “shoulds”?
• Would you give yourself the permission to let go of the doubt?
• Would you feel more grateful about your life?
• Would you step up, knowing you could not fail?
• Would you play a bigger game?
• Would you have more courage and bravery?
• Would you quiet down those gremlins?
• Would you say yes to more opportunities?
• Would you know that everything is going to be OK?
• Would you be open to receiving more boldly?
• Would you move ahead with more confidence?
• Would you remember that you are always guided?

My experience is that your answer to all of these questions is YES. And when you FEEL this way, you begin to ACT this way. And when you ACT with boldness, with confidence, with trust, faith and positive expectation, nothing can stop you. Success and abundance in your business are inevitable.

But it’s your choice how you choose to feel. Terrified, doubtful, unsure? Or confident, bold, unstoppable. Which do you choose? And how will your results, your life be affected because of that choice.

Your Assignment:

Take a pad of paper and pen, and create some quiet, contemplative space. Then, at the top of the sheet of paper, write down the following question:

“If I understood the “hugeness” of the miracle that is being created for me right now, at this very moment, the miracle that’s already on its way to me, how would I begin to FEEL and ACT differently in my business?”

Then write, write, write. And see what comes up. Then make the conscious decision to FEEL what you’ve written, and then to ACT from THAT place. When you do, the miracle, change or solution you’ve been asking for has no choice but to show up.

If you’re not yet attracting only “A” clients in your practice, you need to start using proven, tried-and-true marketing techniques. I recommend the complete Client Attraction Home Study System. It’s everything you need to create a marketing message that will appeal to the best clients for you. It avoids all the unnecessary stuff and instead gives you the most important things to do to find your niche, get out there in a big way, set up simple, solid systems, so you consistently fill your pipeline and continually get new clients. It’s all step-by-step, not a big mishmash of things. So, you do step one of the system, and when you’re done with that, you move on to step two, and so on. So easy. All the tools, scripts, templates, and examples are handed to you on a silver platter. You ca n get yours at www.theclientattractionsystem.com.

I just had to share this photo with you… Last Monday, Derek and I drove the convertible into New York to meet friends for brunch. While we ‘girls’ did some last minute dress shopping for my Mindset Retreat next week, our guys found a gem of a place to enjoy the afternoon: a hip rooftop bar in Manhattan’s super-cool Meatpacking District, overlooking the Hudson River — complete with Astroturf, one of my secret guilty pleasures. The view was stunning, especially at sunset! I was in heaven.

Speaking of the Mindset Retreat, just a few minutes ago, I stopped to think about the fact that we’ll be changing 175 people’s lives in 3 days. My eyes welled up in tears. I’m in such anticipation of the event that I honestly haven’t been able to sleep at night. We’re gonna change some lives in a big way, and there’s no better feeling for me.

If you can’t join us in Miami this week though, for any number of reasons, I’ve got something really, really cool for you! I’m letting you join me at the Mindset Retreat, from the comfort of your home, and at no-charge, via online LiveStream Video broadcasting (live!) This is where you can log on to your computer, at a designated time, and through the magic of technology, you can watch me teach on stage live and in real-time. Seriously, how cool is THAT!? And the best news is, it’s free, but only if you’re among the first 400 to register. Go here now to register to watch me live on stage, direct from your computer (hurry, though, because there are only 200 spots available!). I can’t wait to wave to you from stage.
