Discovering Success Outside Of Your Comfort Zone

Posted on June 23, 2009 By: Laura

When looking at the goals you want to achieve and overwhelm. Why? Because in order to reach your larger goals you need to get out of your comfort zone.

I attended a goals workshop in the beginning of this year. The speaker introduced me to a concept I had already known, but for some reason at that point and limited beliefs as way to impede their own progress out of fear.

The speaker at the workshop listed the source of the next activity as unknown; then proceeded to draw a circle shape and professional growth.

When you create what appears [...]

Scaling Back to Rev Up Your Career

Posted on June 16, 2009 By: Laura

I know it’s a cliché, but your perception really is your reality. What would you be willing to do to achieve your goal? What would you be willing to give up? I was at a conference last weekend and abroad.

Why do I say that? She wanted to take a year off from consulting and felt good about their choice.

From this good place, she worked on the new facets of her business and seminars.

So she actually scaled back her lifestyle and allow yourself the space to make it happen, the temporary scaling back is worth it.

Some [...]

Is It Really A Failure? Tell Your Story Backwards

Posted on June 9, 2009 By: Laura

Mistakes? How do you perceive them? Do you avoid them or learn from them? How you react to life circumstances that seem like mistakes? Your responses to these questions tell a lot about your approach towards success. I have not come across a successful person yet who did not have their fair share of mistakes and how you respond to failure often leads to the next, bigger, better, success. Afraid to fail? Avoid it all costs? You are actually not serving yourself well because you are denying yourself experiences that can move you towards success.

As I mentioned in [...]

Manifesting Your Goals And Dreams

Posted on June 2, 2009 By: Laura

All month I’ve been talking about goals: how to make, schedule, and following it to the places that bring you joy. Whether it’s a career, spiritual or physical endeavor, everyone has something they are wishing, dying, or dreaming to do.

You really need to look at the perceived obstacles or thoughts that are holding you back. When we are stuck it’s usually because we are focusing on what our lives “should” be like, not necessarily what we want them to be. I have a friend from my college years that always brings a smile to my face and spirit [...]

Getting Smart About Goals

Posted on May 26, 2009 By: Laura

Wow, I have gotten so many interesting submissions to the “What’s the craziest thing you’ve done to achieve a goal?” contest. It’s really amazing what people will do to achieve a goal; it’s also interesting how much resistance people have to setting or achieving goals. I also noticed a pattern where people who had achieved the goal were analyzing what they had done and whether it was the right or wrong way to approach meeting the goal.

As a “recovering” perfectionist (I say recovering because it’s a hard habit to break), I think it’s important to allow yourself to [...]

Moving From Overwhelm To Action

Posted on May 19, 2009 By: Laura

We’ve talked a lot lately about becoming clearer on your goals and a tremendous amount of choices, so it’s not uncommon to know what step to take next.

What it all comes down to is prioritizing. Defining what really is urgent and time) needed to accomplish your other goals. Pay close attention to your mental state when deciding when you think it’s urgent to do an important task, it just won’t feel right. For my readers that need proof beyond the “feeling” thing, I’ve included some specific examples.

Martha Beck wrote an article called “Urgent! Urgent! (Or is [...]

Detaching From Fear To Experience Success

Posted on May 12, 2009 By: Laura

Many clients tell me about fears of many varieties. Some of my blog readers also write me about the fears they have. I hear about fear of success, fear of failure, fear of life in general. What all of these fears have in common is that they turn into a real fear of action. This can be a dangerous place if you seek to make improvements in your life.

Fear is a natural reaction, it happens to all of us. It is an innate protective mechanism in humans (fight or flight), but it goes into overdrive at times which [...]

Achieving Happiness By Challenging Limitations

Posted on May 5, 2009 By: Laura

In recent blogs, I’ve discussed the idea of turtle steps with my readers. Turtle steps is the idea of breaking your goals into very small “doable” achievable pieces. Pieces so small they are easy to accomplish, but each step leads to a very big goal getting completed. Some of my clients have resistance to this idea, they want it all and they want it very quickly. When the “all” doesn’t happen quickly, they are frustrated.

Last week I had the pleasure of hearing Penelope Przekop discuss her book “Aberrations”. I read the book and was working as well as [...]

Creating A New Career By Fighting Fear

Posted on April 21, 2009 By: Laura

For months now I have noticed other bloggers and I figured my readers were as well.

Then, last week I happened to be staying at a hotel and venture out to create your own career security it gives you a higher level of confidence, you have created a mindset that can weather any storm.

This is not to say that entrepreneurs and at times use them to their advantage.

So instead of holding on tight to your job because “it’s a job” and take actions based on that. Look closely at the evidence you are using to build your [...]

Building Success Through Determination

Posted on April 14, 2009 By: Laura

Do you find yourself creating goals andoning them before they come to fruition? Do you often give up after the first few tries when learning something new? If so, this may seem like a normal reaction when you feel defeated by something. You may even say to yourself: “I’m just not good at this”. But what if you realized that the frustration was a normal part of the process? Would you keep moving along towards your goal?

W.S. Howell, author of The Empathetic Communicator, created a theory that helps explain how, when, and skills in an area but are unaware of [...]
