The same is true for your business. Do you force yourself to create when you really need to rest, or try to rest when inspiration is striking? When you read through these stages, above, did anything stand out for you? Did you find yourself seeing connections in your own creative cycles?

Creative Discipline Is the Recipe for Success

January 12, 2010

Recently, I got thinking all about the power of discipline on the creative mind. What started me on this odyssey of creative thought, you ask? I had just finished watching the movie, Julie & Julia, on DVD.

The creativity of the human mind knows no boundaries, and therein lies the paradox: Without something to reign in, focus and channel creativity, it tends to float aimlessly.

Do You Argue For Your Limitations?

November 29, 2009

Have you ever met someone who complains for hours about all the problems in their lives, then when offered several really great solutions they argue for why they must continue to do what is clearly not working? This is called “arguing for your limitations”.

Like a stuck record, this person is convinced that the world is out to get them, nothing goes their way, all the existing solutions and opportunities failed them (even while they work beautifully for others), and if they change what’s not working for them, they are convinced it will turn out *worse* than it already is.

Cultivating Self-Love

November 16, 2009

Talk to anyone who has spent time on personal growth and they will tell you: At the basis of every problem (health, wealth, relationships, etc.) is a lack of self-love. Louise Hay discovered this when she was doing 1:1 consulting. When we take the time to address this one aspect of our life, we begin to shift everything for the better.

Crafting Your JOY List

November 5, 2009

…often whether or not you have wanted something (person, thing, or experience) for a long time, or you really-reeeaaallly-REEEAAALLY NEEEED it as soon as possible, there is often such a strong emotional charge to receiving that we are actually unconsciously blocking the very thing we say we want.

That emotional charge is sometimes referred to as resistance. It comes in a variety of flavors: neediness, anxiety, worry, frustration, irritation, and flat-out desperation. At worst, you begin immediately assuming that what you want is impossible, which triggers a feeling of heartache.

The Power of Declaration

October 29, 2009

One of the most valuable lessons I learned about the Law of Attraction (LOA), and the one I hear talked about least, is importance of letting go of the doubt and questioning and replace it with intent and declaration. You don’t have to completely work through the doubt, just be willing to set it aside and choose to speak with positive intent.

Allowing Success

October 20, 2009

Effective Solopreneurs: The Power of Taking Breaks

October 16, 2009

I see it way too often: Solo business owners, accustomed to wearing many hats, working too long, often without breaks, and so overwhelmed that they haven’t noticed how ineffective they’ve become. Ineffectiveness is the grim reaper for a solopreneur.
