Who are you listening to?

When it comes to your life and your goals and desires…

Let me ask you 1 question…

Who are you listening to?

This is one of the biggest challenges today…

• There are a whole bunch of people in your life who are more than ready and willing to give you advice on what you can and especially what you CAN’T or SHOULDN’T do…
• There are countless people standing by, ready to protect you or steer you toward what is smart and sensible and realistic…

So often these people listen to your ideas and tell you they won’t work, or they aren’t smart…

And when they do, it’s easy to get discouraged and abandon your ideas…

It’s easy to get deflated and look for a more sensible or realistic approach that doesn’t get you excited, but at least ypu’ve heard it makes sense…

Here’s my big question for you…

When it comes to the people who you are listening to…

Do they have what you want?

I’m all for advice and mentors and perspective…

BUT

Please, please, please…

Get that advice from people who are where you want to go…

• If you want advice on how to start making $10, 000 a month through passive income, should you listen to someone who has only ever made $3500/month and traded time for every single dollar of it?
• If you want your relationship to be healthy, communicative and passionate, are you going to listen to your friend who is in a loveless marriage?
• If you want to get into the best shape of your life, are you going to go to someone who has never exercised a day in their life for advice on how to do it?

When I ask my coaching clients these questions they always see how ridiculous it is to get advice from someone who doesn’t have what you want…

AND YET…

Most have them have been doing just that…

Most people have a group of advisers that they love and who love them, but when it comes to deciding if your ideas and dreams can happen…

When it comes to discovering the path to design the life you desire…

Make sure you are listening to people who know from experience what it takes to get there!

Listen…

Your friends and family are so important to love you and add to your life…

And if you your friends and family do have the things that you desire, then PLEASE listen to them!

But often your advisers serve a different purpose…

Start finding people who have what you want (at least the next level from where you are)…

Your life will start to change instantly when you do!

As always, leave a comment here…I love hearing from you and what you have to say might be helpful to someone else!

Success in 15 minutes a day — will you commit to yourself?

Experiment time!

There are 39 days left in 2009…

I thought an experiment to see how far you can move forward while still enjoying the holiday season was appropriate!

First let me ask you this question…

If I told you that you could significantly move your life forward between now and January 1, 2010 and it would only take 15 minutes a day…

Would you commit to dedicating 15 minutes a day EVERY DAY for the next 39 days?

I’m going to assume you answered ‘Yes’!

So this is what we are going to do…

Starting today and going through Dec. 31, 2009 I want you to do 1 thing each day to move yourself forward…

Here are the rules:

• You MUST do 1 thing each day
• The ‘Thing’ you do MUST take 15 minutes or less to do…
• The ‘Thing’ you do MUST push your comfort zone
• The ‘Thing’ you do MUST make you feel like you have somehow moved yourself forward toward one of your goals

Got it?

It is up to you if you are going to focus on one area of your life to move forward for the next 39 days or if you are going to focus in several directions…

Either way, you WILL see a huge difference IF you absolutely commit to do this AND you follow through.

To help you out, I want you to leave a comment now stating that you are taking part in the challenge and what your focus is.  I also want you to tell me what it is you will do today.

This is another case of you are either in or you aren’t…

I know it’s tough love…but if you are just going to try to commit 15 minutes a day, you aren’t going to get where you want to go…

15 minutes…to move toward the life of your dreams…

• I KNOW you can do this…
• Commit to it now…
• Leave a comment…
• Tell me you’re in…
• Tell me your focus…
• Tell me what you will do today!

Have fun with this!!

YOU ARE EXTRAORDINARY!

Go Big!

How do you really spend your time?

This is so important!

First let me ask you a question…

Have you ever had a day start and then end and you know you were busy and frantic the whole day, but you don’t really know what you spent your time doing?

Join the club!

It’s similar to spending a day in NYC — you can start with $100 in your wallet and at the end of the day have $1 in your wallet and have NO IDEA what you spent the money on…

This is what I want you to do…

You’ve told me what you would do with 5 extra hours a week (by the way, AWESOME replies on this!)

And I can help you find 5 extra hours a week…

But to do that, I need to know how you are spending your time.  I’m going to give you the exercise that I use with my coaching students that has proven to be unbelievably eye opening and life changing!

Here’s the Go Big exercise of the day:

DO IT NOW and Leave the answers here as a comment, I promise you will start to make changes just because you know there are people reading what you are up to…accountability is VERY powerful!

• Write down all the things you ‘HAVE TO’ do in a typical week
• Write a list of all the  things that you ‘HAVE TO’ do that might not come up weekly but come up monthly or every other week
• Make sure your lists include EVERYTHING that is a ‘HAVE TO’ (this includes sleeping, eating etc.)
• Make sure the list you have ONLY has ‘HAVE TO’ items on it
• For every item on your list put the amount of time that it should take…BE REALISTIC (you are probably spending too much time on some items that can take less time AND you are probably under estimating the time needed for other items.)

This is the first step…we’ll go from here, but I want you to see how you REALLY spend your time since that’s the only way you can get on top of things and start spending more time on the things you want to be doing instead of ONLY on the things you have to be doing!

Go Big!

I Dare You to Ask Yourself This 1 Simple Question that Will Change Everything

It’s human nature…

‘What is Kristen?’

I’ll tell you…

We spend more time justifying why we haven’t done something than it would take us to actually do the thing we haven’t done.

When it comes to attracting money or finding our purpose or taking steps toward the life we desire, we to procrastinate.

Why is it so easy to say things like, “I’ll do it tomorrow?” and then wake up tomorrow feeling terrible because we let another day go by without doing whatever it was?

We do this with little things and big…and either way the message is the same…when we let another day go by without doing something…big or small…the message we send to ourselves is, “I SUCK!”

Vice Versa when we do actually take action on something proactive…big or small…the message is also the same, “I ROCK!”

So what gives?

First of all…I am going to stand up and say that I think most of us have quite a few things on our ‘Lists’ that we keep putting off because quite simply they don’t really need to be done.

I know crazy thought right!?

I realized this the other day as I was changing the date for when yet another task was due in my Outlook Calendar…I realized that I had been changing the date on that specific action item for over a year.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Over a year??!! So I asked myself one simple question…

‘Will doing this move my life forward or make me any happier or better off than I am right now?’

I was met with a resounding, ‘NO!’

And so I did the most amazing thing…

I deleted it…and felt like 5 lbs lift off me.

So, I tried it with the next thing that popped up as a ‘To Do Reminder’…I asked myself, ‘Will doing this move my life forward or make me any happier or better off than I am right now?’ and this time the answer was ‘Yes!’

UGH…it was a yes…and it was going to push my comfort zone…but it was a yes and now that I knew it was a yes if I didn’t take action I would really send myself the ‘I suck’ message…so…I gritted my teeth and did it…

It took 5 minutes…

And when I was done (it was a phone call) there was no doubt in my mind that ‘I ROCK!’

So that’s my new thing…with everything…I ask myself some form of this question:

Will doing this move my life forward or make me any happier or better off than I am right now?

This works with attracting money, discovering your purpose, making plans, possible opportunities, who you spend time with, how you spend your time, what clothes you wear…EVERYTHING

Life changing…

Your thoughts? Leave me a comment and let me know what you think about this…

Also, I have had some of you email me wondering if I really would keep my promise to email you back.

And I PROMISE once again…I WILL email you back and I WILL respond to all comments you leave here!

I am here to help you along your journey and I’m also here to make it as enjoyable as possible!

Go Big!

The Law of Attraction Key – Inspired Action

Ok…let’s jump right in…

We’ve established that the Law of Attraction is ALWAYS working; it’s just a matter of if it is working for you or against you.

What we spend the majority of our time focusing on is we attract. If you spend most of your time thinking, feeling and acting broke…the Law of Attraction will deliver more situations to prove you are broke.

However, if you spend the majority of your time thinking, feeling and acting rich, then guess what the Law of Attraction will deliver to you?

You guessed it…opportunity for more riches!

Notice I said OPPORTUNITY for more riches…the reason I said OPPORTUNITY is because the Law of Attraction Key is INSPIRED ACTION.

Without Inspired Action you may be constantly surrounded by the opportunity for the life you desire…but if 8 million doors open up and you just sit there and don’t actually walk through one of those doors then your life still won’t change.

At this point, the question always arises of how to know the difference between regular action and Inspired Action and trust me there is a HUGE difference.

Regular action can keep you busy and running in circles every day for the rest of your life while inspired action doesn’t eat up all of your time and definitively moves you toward your goals.

Knowing the difference between regular action and inspired action will eventually become a ‘Gut Instinct’ for you…and once you tap into your intuition the Law of Attraction will work for you in ways you never imagined.

BUT…chances are good that right now you are like most people and much, if not most, of the action you take is probably inspired by fear or boredom.

There is 1 question you can ask yourself to discover if your instinct is guiding you out of Fear or Inspiration.

Before you take action, ask this question:

“Will doing this right now move me toward my goal of __________, away from my goal of __________ OR keep me in the same exact place?’

IT’S IMPORTANT to name the goal SPECIFICALLY, if you are general and don’t get specific this won’t be as effective.

If your honest answer is that it will move you toward your goal, GREAT, GO FOR IT…you are about to tap into the Law of Attraction Key of Inspired Action.

BUT…if it will move you away from your goal OR keep you in the same exact place then ask yourself this question:

‘What small action can I take RIGHT NOW to move me toward my goal of _______.”

When an answer pops into your head, ask yourself the first question again just to make sure you aren’t fooling yourself.

Then…

GO TAKE INSPIRED ACTION!

Remember, the Key to the Law of Attraction is Inspired Action. And once you tap into the power of Inspired Action you will stop taking action out of fear and in doing so will start immediately start attracting the life you desire.
