Following Your Own Path To Success

Posted on July 7, 2009 By: Laura

We are told from early childhood “just to be ourselves”. It’s the solution for everything from meeting new friends to getting a job. The ironic thing is that most likely very few of us are actually being ourselves. A large portion of people in the United States are all about keeping up with the Jones’. You just have to look at the mortgage crisis and know as unique individuals.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of listening to Michele Woodward, Master Certified Coach and life endeavors. She mentioned the phrase “Be Your Own Buddha”, meaning follow your [...]

Discovering Success Outside Of Your Comfort Zone: Part 2

Posted on June 30, 2009 By: Laura

I received a lot of positive responses to last week’s blog that focused on leaving your comfort zone. It seems that most people recognize their comfort zone and all the fear involved can be freeing. It almost feels counterintuitive, but it’s actually not. It’s actually about intuitively realizing that your comfort protects you, but doesn’t promote you.

I was working with a client recently who gave me tons of evidence that she could be successful in her career. She had already done workshops, written articles, and with only word of mouth referrals, these workshops were packed.

The fact is [...]

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 [...]
