Are you ready?

Are you playing to win or are you playing NOT to lose?

Be honest…

I asked someone this same question the other day and he responded, “Sorry, I don’t see the difference.”

The difference is everything…

I mean EVERYTHING…

And here’s the key…

Your answer may be different for different areas of your life…

So ask yourself to get specific…

When it comes to money –

Are you playing to win, or are you playing NOT to lose?

When it comes to relationships –

Are you playing to win, or are you playing NOT to lose?

When it comes to health –

Are you playing to win, or are you playing NOT to lose?

When it comes to your life –

Are you playing to win, or are you playing NOT to lose?

Because here’s the deal…

This IS your life –

So, are you going to play to win? Or are you going to play NOT to lose?

Do you see the difference? Because the difference is everything…

You have a whole bunch of things that you are interested in –

There are a ton of possibilities for your own business –

You don’t want to miss anything or leave anything behind –

So, you are ALL OVER THE PLACE!

Ring a bell?

I know it does for me…

For years I was so scared of choosing to focus in one direction for fear that I would have to put everything else aside forever…

Well, I have a secret for you…

I was wrong — I mean W R O N G!

I was so busy trying to do everything at the same exact time, that I was getting nowhere fast!

I realized that I could have everything I wanted if I would just set up my time in chunks of focus — but the key to my success with this is that when I would block off time to focus on something, that was the ONLY thing I would focus on during that time…

No emails

No phone calls

No distractions

Then, I would shift to the next chunk of time that was dedicated to something else and ONLY focus on that…

And what happened?

My life changed –

My WHOLE life changed…

I had more money coming in than I ever had before

I was able to say ‘Yes’ to more opportunities

My relationships thrived

My health/body/fitness went from being that last thing I took time for to a consistent focus

My sense of peace increased significantly

And more and more and more…

So, what’s my point?

I’ll tell you –

You CAN be, do and have everything you desire when you schedule the time to focus on each thing — one thing at a time!

Try it — for one week — you’ll be amazed!

Leave me a comment and let me know what you are going to do to take action on this — today!

“Are you your own advocate?”

You may have heard that you need to be your own advocate when it comes to your health care, and that is so true…

But, I want to take this a step further…

You need to be your own advocate in EVERY area of your life…

• With health
• With money
• With relationships
• With business
• With your home or your car
• With your dreams
• With EVERYTHING…

Take care of yourself, ask questions, when you instinctually feel that something is important — make sure it happens…

I know that sometimes it is easier to just go along with things even if they don’t feel exactly right, I know that being your own advocate will sometimes cause you to have to push your comfort zone…

But please do it! Right now, commit to being your own advocate in EVERY area of your life…

Trust yourself…

Always hold your best interests in your heart and act from there…

Can you do that?

Leave me a comment and let me know!

Go Big!

Here’s the deal…

We all get behind sometimes…

Life happens to all of us and takes us a bit off track…

We all put our energy on the most pressing thing and temporarily remove it from other things…

And if we don’t explain why wh have shifted our focus and energy then people will understandably take it personally and feel like they can’t count on you…

So what was the kick in my pants?

Well…

As you know I had that bad car accident and the healing and logistics that come with resolving something like that got my primary focus.

I still posted to my blog and I still developed content etc. for my new Go Big Now! VIP Program…

BUT WHAT I DIDN’T DO was stay on top of responding to emails and blog posts.

I know it’s understandable considering the circumstances…BUT I should have explained.

I should have sent out an email letting everyone know that I wasn’t ignoring them and I would catch up and respond to them soon.

I should have…

But I didn’t…

And I am sorry!

The kick in the pants came as an email from a loyal subscriber who said that he probably would have signed up for my Go Big Now! VIP program but because he hadn’t received a response to his emails he didn’t know he could trust me.

Ouch…

But true…

So, what can you learn from my kick in the pants?

There will be times when you have to shift your energy, that is a part of life and you shouldn’t have to change that…

But…

Think of the people it will directly effect and let them know and you will be amazed at how much that adds to your relationships — whether it’s business, personal or both!

Leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts on this…

Here’s the quote:

“If you become frightened, instead become inspired…there’s always a way.”

WOW!

Seriously, knocked my socks off!

Think about this…

Normally we become scared when we feel we may be trapped or or unable to succeed…

This is with everything:

• Money
• Relationships
• Business
• Creativity
• Dreams
• Goals
• Health
• Weight Loss

etc. etc. etc.

We’ve all heard it a million times, where there is faith there is no room for doubt and where there is doubt, there is no room for faith.

Faith and doubt CANNOT exist at the same time in the same space about the same thing…

Doubt stops us in our tracks…

• Fear makes even the strongest souls question if they can move forward…
• Faith moves our feet forward 1 step at a time…
• Inspiration gives us a glimpse of the path…

You will feel fear!

You will feel doubt!

You will want to turn back!

You will think you can’t go any further!

You will think there is no possible solution!

I know you will do all of these things because you are human…

I’m not asking you to get rid of your fears…

I am telling you that in the face of fear and doubt you can rise above them for a moment to stop and say this to yourself…

“There is always a way, even when I don’t believe there is — I now choose to be inspired to discover that way and follow that inspiration.”

You don’t need to know the answer…

You just need to know there IS an answer…

There is ALWAYS an answer!

So I say this to you my friend…

In this tumultuous time when it is far easier to believe there isn’t a way…

“If you become frightened, instead become inspired…there is ALWAYS a way.”

Leave me a comment and let me know if you are ready to choose to be inspired in the face of fear!

Do it now…

You are extraordinary!!

Go Big!

I’ve been getting tons of comments to my different posts and that’s AWESOME!

BUT…

About 1 out of every 4 comments gets me all riled up…

Why?

I’ll tell you why…

Too many people are wasting their energy on what everyone else is doing…

I’ve literally received a bunch of emails saying pretty much the same thing which is essentially this:

“Why should I live at 100% when nobody else does?”

I’ll tell you why…

BECAUSE IT’S YOUR LIFE!

Stop waiting for someone else or something else to change before you change…

If you do that, you’re going to have a life full of waiting…

This isn’t about anyone else…

This isn’t about the people who don’t care and don’t respect other people and don’t live anywhere near 100%.  This isn’t about the government or what your parents didn’t do for you or who let you down.

This isn’t about anyone else…

It’s about you!

One of the most powerful quotes is “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

This applies to everything!

If you want your relationships to change…

Change who YOU are in the relationship.

If you want your money situation to change…

Change how YOU think about money.

If you want your health to change…

Change how YOU deal with your health.

If you want your LIFE to change…

Change how YOU live your life.

You are the creator of your world…that’s it.

There are always going to be less than desireable people, situations and events in your life…

But here’s the exciting part…

You can control how YOU react to these people, situations and events…

Get over it, stop waiting and stop giving your power away…

You can live an extraordinary life and you can start living it RIGHT THIS SECOND but you have to claim it…you have to decide that you are extraordinary no matter what other people are doing or believe.

You are extraordinary!

You were born that way…

1 step at a time is all it takes and the first step is to CLAIM it and decide that in this moment your life is yours and you decide what to do with it and how to act and react NO MATTER WHAT IS THROWN AT YOU!

You are extraordinary…

Are you ready to claim it?

This might make you uncomfortable…

Some of you may be so uncomfortable you choose to stop coming here…

Some of you may be so uncomfortable that you comment or email me with 1 more attempt to give power to anyone other than yourself…1 more email of “But the government” or “But everyone else” or “But my job” or “But my finances”…

Stop looking for buts…you will always be able to find them and as long as you do you will stay stuck EXACTLY where you are…

Sorry it’s harsh…but it’s true!

I promise you that no matter how terrible your situation is…

There is at least 1 person who has triumphed over worse…

I’m not minimizing your pain or the fact that there are some careless people in this world or that the economy is tough right now…you have right to all of that…but it’s not helping you anymore.

Stop clinging to it…

It’s no longer an option to define your world by anything outside of yourself…

Leave me a comment right now and tell me if you are ready to let go of what everyone else seems to be doing and claim your life…

Tell me EXACTLY what you are ready to let go of so you can step into your extraordinary self…

Do it now…your life can’t wait any longer!

Go Big!

Here’s the deal…

I want you to live and extraordinary life!

• This isn’t just about money
• This isn’t just about love
• This isn’t just about health
• This isn’t just about purpose
• This isn’t just about fun
• This isn’t just about spirituality
• This isn’t just about Joy and Relationships and Creativity…

This is about your COMPLETE LIFE!

There are too many people wandering around, settling for mediocre, accepting a version of themselves that is less than what they want and can be, do and have!

So I have a challenge for you…

And it’s not going to be what you’d think…

• I’m not going to ask you how you can move forward toward your goals this weekend…
• I’m not going to try to inspire you to believe you can be, do and have all that you desire…
• I’m not going to give you tough love and ask you to claim responsibility for everything that happens to you from this moment forward…
• I’m just going to ask you to do 1 thing and this 1 thing will be the start of greatness…

What is it then?

I’ll tell you…

I challenge you to do 1 thing for yourself this weekend!

Just decide to do 1 thing…

Take 1 moment to appreciate yourself in some way…

I PROMISE you it will be harder than you think…

I PROMISE you that this is the start to your extraordinary life!

When you appreciate yourself — you appreciate other people more

When you give to yourself — you have more to give

When you love yourself — you become boundless love

Leave me a comment and let me know what you are going to do for yourself…

Don’t wait…don’t hope that you’ll do this…commit now!

Accountability is the sure fire way to turbo charge your results and I will hold you accountable to this…

Your life depends on it!

It has gone hand in hand with the bad economy and I am surprised to say the least.

So what is the shift I’ve noticed?

It’s this…

People are so busy burying their heads in the sand and panicking that customer service seems to be going down the tubes.

Companies seem more than willing right now to tell you how valuable you are to them in order to get you to do business with them…

But then only a few are actually delivering on their promise.

So, this is what I have to say…

Now is the time!

For what Kristen?

I’ll tell you…

Now is the time to OVER DELIVER!

If you put your focus on how you can exceed the expectations of your customers and clients, I PROMISE you that money will flow to you and the best part is that money will be lasting and very deserved!

Get your head out of the sand…

Over deliver…

Not only will people be thrilled with you, but you will be thrilled with yourself!

The people that over deliver will stand out — this is true always, but especially now!

Look for ways to over deliver everywhere:

• In business
• In Relationships
• In Solutions

EVERYWHERE!

Leave me a comment and tell me how you can start to over deliver!

This couldn’t be further from the truth…

When I talk about attracting more money I certainly don’t mean for you to sit in a room and focus on all of the money you want and then wait for the doorbell to ring with money on the other side…

That’s ridiculous! You have to take Inspired Action, but PLEASE make sure it is INSPIRED Action or you’ll spend a lot of time running around in circles (trust me, I know, I’ve been there).

Listen, I say it over and over again…

The Law of Attraction is always working, it’s just a matter of if it’s working for you or against you and this applies to everything…

• Business
• Money
• Relationships
• Health
• Weight Loss
• Finding and Living  Your Purposeetc.

You get what you spend the majority of your time focussing on (and most of us think we are focussing on what we want but are reeally focussing on what we don’t want, but that’s for another conversation…)

So, does the Law of Attraction apply to business?

YES! A million times YES!

This is what you need to do:

1. Take a good look at your business and decide the ultimate vision of what you want
2. Remove any blocks you have to believing what you want is possible
3. Decide what your FIRST STEP is (check out this post to help with this)
4. Take the first step (otherwise known as INSPIRED ACTION)
5. Let it go and trust

The steps are the same…

I suggest you go through the steps in my report specifically for your business or career, many of my students have done that and reported great results! Chances are good you subscribed for the report and downloaded it already…if not, click here to get it.

As I said, the Law of Attraction applies to EVERY AREA of your life!  Get in there and get it working for you in your business and everywhere else!

Leave me a comment and let me know how you can start to use the Law of Attraction specifically with your business or career!

I get hundreds of emails each week from people asking about goal setting…

They want to know:

• How to set realistic goals
• Why they aren’t reaching their goals
• How they know if their goal is realistic
• Should they split up their goals into different categories
• If they can focus on more than one goal at a time or multiple goals

etc.

Here’s the deal…

I firmly believe in the saying “if you can conceive it you can achieve it” BUT this is where most people struggle…

Every huge vision

Every momentous goal

Every ultimate success

STARTS WITH THE  FIRST STEP!

Decide what your ultimate vision is…

I guarantee it is full and complete and includes all the elements of life:

• Money
• Career
• Creativity
• Relationships
• Spirituality
• Fun

and more…

In all my coaching and teaching I tell you to know what that full vision is and see it, taste it, touch it and feel it in as much detail as possible…

Once you do this, then I need you to break that down into bite size bench marks or goals…

If you want to make a million dollars and work 4 hours a week and travel the world with the love of your life but right now you make $30,000/year work, 40 hours a week, can’t take time off for vacation and are single then your ultimate vision is probably somewhat intimidating.

I’m here to tell you it’s possible BUT you have to break it down…

How do you eat an elephant?

1 bite at a time!

Do it now…write down the bench marks…make sure you break them down enough that the first bench marks feels achievable.

Great…that first bench mark is your first goal.

Now I need you to decide 1 thing and 1 thing only…

What’s the FIRST step?

A step isn’t something that involves many steps…

A step is a step…just one…

What’s the first step?

Write it down…

If this step requires a list of steps to achieve it then you haven’t broken it down enough…

The first step is the FIRST STEP and that’s it.

Once you decide what the first step is you MUST schedule it and then DO IT!

Here’s the trick to achieving your ultimate vision faster than you thought possible…

One step at a time…

Once you  finish 1 step, identify the next step, identify it and DO IT and so on until you reach your first Bench Mark or Goal.

As soon as you reach your first bench mark or goal it’s time to figure out the first step on the journey to the next bench mark or goal and so on.

Every day ask yourself, “What’s my next step?”

Do this exercise and leave me a comment telling me your first step…accountability is a huge key to success!

Go Big!
