I flew to California last week to be featured in a documentary on women who’ve become highly successful by taking their businesses online. It was a fun adventure, with hair, makeup, and a close to 3-hour interview in my suite at the Ritz Carlton. Director and producer of the film, Kim Doyal, was great to work with. In fact, I was really touched that she was literally moved to tears by some of the concepts I was sharing on film about our duty as entrepreneurs to get our message out there in a big way. It’s tentatively titled Women In Business 2.0. Can’t wait for you to see it. I’ll let you know when it’s out.

While in Los Angeles, I hosted a Coaching Intensive in my suite, where a small handful of yummy entrepreneurs joined me in-person for a full day so I could tweak and transform their businesses for profitability, get clarity on their marketing message and positioning in the marketplace. In fact, for ALL of them, I actually took over and mapped out their marketing plans for them (they made me autograph the flip charts of each of their plans!), including their programs, packages and rates, proprietary systems and signature talks. We laughed a lot, made full use of the flip chart, and even made one ‘tough cookie’ tear up and lose her breath when I changed her business right in front of her eyes in about 2 minutes, including a new domain name, and plan for easily making $120,000 in her first year in business. (We shot some videos afterwards of them sharing their experience with me so you can feel like you were there with us. I’ll be posting them on the Coaching Intensive site in the next few days.) These are so fun for me, and create such great results so quickly, that I’ll be hosting another one soon on the East Coast. Watch here for upcoming dates.

Thank you for your incredibly heartfelt birthday messages this past week. I’m humbled to receive all this love and I am so happy to have you in my life. For years I’ve been dreaming about how to make this milestone birthday memorable (you should have heard the ideas!) In the end, Derek and I ended up creating the most magical, warmest and most fun event I could have imagined. (more…)

What an absolutely wonderful weekend we had! Friday was my 40th birthday, and we had all kinds of festivities planned for the weekend. I flew in my dad from Paris, hired a fabulous event planner to create something truly magical for me and my 35 close friends and family that came into Connecticut from around the country and abroad. I also hired a professional photographer to capture each and every moment of the celebration (including the surprise finale at my home that no one expected) and I’ll post some pictures on Facebook and Twitter this coming week, so you can feel like you were with us too. 😉

But mostly, I was really excited to be turning 40, so much so that I couldn’t sleep Thursday night. I know that it doesn’t seem like a milestone MOST people use the word “excited” about, but I have my own personal philosophy about life. Whereby some others are afraid of growing “older”, I feel that perhaps it’s because they haven’t necessarily CONSCIOUSLY created the life they wanted yet. One of the things I’ve been very deliberate about is crafting a life that I love, right down to what I do for a living, the kinds of clients I have, my income, my family, where I live, where I work, and what I do in my personal time. I’ve made up my mind that I don’t wake up in the morning to be mediocre, and that I want to live life like I mean it. And so everything I’ve set my mind to so far, I’ve taken a no-excuses approach to achieve, and the best is yet to come.

Making the most of each moment! That’s what my theme for the summer has been, and the kids seem to be doing the same. I’d never heard of ‘Paper Plate Awards’ before this week, and it was fun to see specifically how my kids were being celebrated for their uniqueness, in fact I learned something new about both of them. My son received the “Singing Sensation” award for constantly singing “I like to move it, move it” and my daughter won “The Wonderball Woman” award, for winning every time she plays Wonderball. Who knew!? (Notice my little Oliver in the middle, wondering what’s going on. Too cute!)

The last stop on my national “Millionaire Entrepreneur Mindset Secrets Tour” was yesterday in Atlanta, and let me tell you, it was an absolutely amazing night, a HUGE success. People drove in from North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and further, took the train from Washington, road tripped with friends and flew in from all corners of the country for it. And they all left with breakthroughs, the tools and inspiration to play a much bigger game in their business. THANK YOU Atlanta, for making me feel so welcomed, and mostly for making the commitment to step up your Mindset with me to make a meaningful difference in the world, and get handsomely rewarded for adding so much more value to your clients. And for those who made a commitment to no longer wake up in the morning to be mediocre, I can’t wait to see you at my Mindset Retreat in Miami this September! Woohooo!

Last week was one absolutely incredible, heart-filling week! Two of my elite Sapphire private clients joined me for their private in-person retreats to multiply their already super-successful businesses. The week started with the awe-inspiring Heather Dominick, EnergyRich Coach, to get her prepared for a major life-changing (and income-multiplying) project she’s working on, one that will take her to past the million-dollar mark in less than 12 months. We talked business models and marketing, and of course the mindset necessary to make it all happen (it was so moving to see her step in to the next big version of herself.)

Then, superstar Sapphire client Karen Knowler spent the day with me. I cannot put words to what happened in my office at the white board. I’m a little emotional just thinking about how BIG we mapped out her business to be, and most importantly, the big WHY of taking her business so big. (Hint: it has nothing to do with the money, in fact, it has everything to do with a massive humanitarian project she’ll be starting.) The million-dollar-goal she came in with for this year (which she’ll likely reach very soon) seems pale in comparison to the plan we sent her back to the UK with (watch her do it.)

What I love most about these two women is their authentic ambition, their huge hearts, and their connection to Spirit. They’re both doing their work to be of service in a big way, and they realize that it takes courage, an understanding of universal principles and the right mindset shifts to making it happen. And they’ve said YES.

Woohooo!! Celebrating one of the most productive (and hysterical!) Platinum Mastermind retreats ever. I’m soooo ridiculously proud of this group’s 6-figure and 7-figure income-breakthroughs since the last meeting! (more…)

It’s never a dull moment here at the Fredrickson household! Derek and I have loved the home we’re in here in Connecticut, and wouldn’t dream of moving out of the neighborhood we cherish. I’ve said for years that there is no place on earth like this. It really IS like living in a Norman Rockwell painting. However much we’ve loved this house, and all the great memories we’ve built here, it’s time for an upgrade. We’ve got our eye on a much bigger home in the neighborhood and are ready to make it happen. But first, we’re looking for a buyer. I’m writing an intention (as I do with every big project) to find the perfect family for our house, a family that will love it just as much as we have. Set the intention with me too, OK?

Oh, before I forget! I’m flying to the west coast this week (San Diego) to help you upgrade your mindset. It’s my “Millionaire Entrepreneur Mindset Secrets Tour”, an opportunity for you to learn my formula for upgrading your mindset and getting you out of your own way, so you can make a lot more in your business, without working harder. We have a few seats left for San Diego. Join me for the day: www.MindsetTour.com

Last weekend was possibly one of the best weekends of my life! Friday night started with a bang having our traditional Friday Night Pizza At The Beach with our friends and their children (the kids play on the large swing set or by the ocean, while we watch on, talking, sipping wine and chilling out watching the sun go down.) Saturday was a glorious day at the beach with the kids, before our good friends arrived from New York for the annual Clam Bake at the club. Imagine the dock filled with blue and white checkered tables, a Key West band going, having a rum punch by the water, followed by 3 pound lobsters, steamers, shrimp, New England clam chowder, and late evening fireworks over the water. It was heaven!

The next day, we had our annual 4th of July parade and potluck brunch at the beach, before heading out for a day at the pool with the children and our guests. We hosted a group of friends for an alfresco dinner at home, and repeated it all the next day. I was seriously blissed out the entire weekend! All I kept thinking to myself was, “Is it really possible for one person to take in so much abundance and love at the same time?” I guess the answer was, Yes. I am so grateful for my life, to get to serve from my heart in a big way and I am grateful for you too. I hope you had a great weekend too!

It’s amazing how each of the Platinum Masterminds we’ve started (we have 3 going on right now) are so different. This one is another brand new group, and already, they’re kicking it into high gear. One member went from making $15 an hour at her brilliance to now having made $23,000 in the last two months of being part of the Mastermind; another made $63,000 in June in her spiritual business, and is going to hit $1million mark in the next 12 months — and she’s not the only one in the group to be on track for that. Another is already $50,000 up from her entire last year’s income, and it’s only the beginning of July.

I could go on and on about their successes in just the last two months, but I’ll just say that it’s so fun for us to work with these folks! (And, we giggled way too much in this week’s meeting.) If you’re interested in finding out what concepts and resources they’re ALL implementing to multiply their businesses so quickly while having so much fun, you can find out about my Workshop-In-A-Box here.

We have a busy June coming up, with three different Mastermind Groups coming to visit us in Stamford (two new Platinum groups and our new Gold program members) and are gearing up for some amazing Mastermind retreats. So, at the same time, it is really important to spend quality and quantity time with our yummy kids. And that balance is something a lot of people talk to us about, asking, “How do you do it?” Well, for one, we have lots of support at home, and we also make it a point to be FOCUSED: when we are with the kids, we are FULLY with the kids, and when we are working with our high-level clients, we are totally and completely focused on them, not trying to juggle both. (Try it. It is simple but it changes the way you live your whole life.)
