Next Free Training: Breakthrough Money & Mindset Interview With Kendall SummerHawk

If you’ve never heard of Kendall, she’s known as “The Million Dollar Marketing Coach” because she created a million-plus coaching practice in just under 3 years. Kendall is a master at teaching heart-centered women business owners how to “marry money with meaning” so that they can make a great income while making a difference and helping others.

Her proven systems for breaking through money stuck points, plus her step-by-step formula for “charging what you’re worth and getting it” have transformed the lives and incomes of – no exaggeration – thousands of spirited women. (Kendall’s success stories are legendary and include some of the biggest names in Internet marketing, coaching, and social media, just to name a few.)

Over the past 3 years that I’ve been on this path, I’ve learned from a LOT of incredible teachers. Amazing people, who are really, really good at what they do. Kendall truly stands out and is among my most treasured mentors.

That’s why I couldn’t be more thrilled to bring you a very special FREE training call with Kendall happening WEDNESDAY, August 19 at 8PM EST…

“Breakthrough Money & Mindset Secrets Of An Authentic Million Dollar Marketing Coach”

http://www.marketinggoddess.com/kendall.html

The call will be focused on VERY important topic… how to break through your hidden money barriers so you can make more, KEEP more, and (most importantly) serve your clients at a much higher level.

What I love about Kendall is how grounded, real and authentic she is. And GENEROUS. Kendall’s calls are always packed to the gills with aha’s and useful, practical information. Our call will be no different!

And, if I may get personal for a moment…

Many of you have told me things like, “Wow, Elizabeth, you are on FIRE!” and “You are everywhere” and “Hoo boy, woman, have you changed!”

It’s true. I have grown tremendously, both personally and professionally, in the past year. I have gotten VERY clear on my purpose (you’ll see this unfold). And my income has skyrocketed. Kendall and her wisdom have played a very big part in that transformation.

As a longtime practitioner of metaphysical and inner work, I can tell honestly you that I have never held myself back from getting what I need to make a breakthrough. In that spirit, my coach’s request to you is to please join me on this call.

Kendall will most likely challenge your beliefs about money. She’s known for a “loving kick-in-the-pants” coaching style and her absolute commitment to your breakthrough. That’s why you need to be there.

To Attract Your Choice Client, You MUST Be In Alignment With Them

Over the past month, I’ve been a participant in an incredible program given by David & Kristin Morelli, hosts of the “Everything Is Energy” radio show (which you can find on iTunes and ContactTalkRadio.com).

The program, which is called “40 Days And 40 Nights To A Quantum Leap In Your Wealth,” is what David & Kristin call a full immersion program, featuring twice-daily calls, morning and evening meditations, and lots of group coaching.

David and Kristin teach their students how to work with energy to create whatever you want in your life, including wealth and abundance.  One principle they dive deeply into is this: you must BE in the vibration – i.e., the energy – of that which you want to create in your life. (“Your vibration is your asking,” they say.  I love that!)

So how does this relate to attracting your ideal clients? Simple!  You must BE in energetic alignment with them to attract them!

In other words, to attract your ideal clients, you must be like them.

If you’re not attracting the kinds of clients you want… the kind who invest in themselves, pay you what you are worth, do their work, and respect your time, one place to start looking is where you are showing up in these areas.

Do you invest in yourself?  Value your coaches and mentors (instead of resenting paying them money)?  Do you hold yourself to the same standards as you do your clients?  Do you do your work, too?

If not, you’re out of alignment. Without alignment, attracting your choice clients will be about as easy as water flowing UP a mountain.

It’s well known that by narrowing your focus and choosing a specific niche – i.e., a group of people and a pressing problem that they have – you’ll attract more clients, almost like magic. (It sounds counter-intuitive – “if I’m ONLY serving a particular group, aren’t I giving up potential clients?” – but in reality, choosing a niche is like turning on a light in a crowded room: suddenly you’re visible, when it was like you were IN-visible before.)

When choosing a niche, make sure to choose a group that you’re in alignment with. (Alignment is exactly why I chose to work with spirit-minded, purpose-driven business owners – such as coaches, holistic & wellness practitioners, metaphysical consultants and other change agents.)

No matter what, you’ve got to be able to talk the talk and walk the walk! And you have to feel it, deep down.  Your energy vibration is a way of being. (Another way you might be out of alignment of attracting what you want in a client is the beliefs and values that you hold.)

My coach’s request for you is to take a look at where you might be out of alignment with what you say you want. Start with your ideal clients, then take a look at your business as a whole… then your life.  Then take 3 action steps to clean up any alignment mis-matches. These can be simple, such as paying a visit to a place where your clients might hang out, or you can dig deep and take steps to clear some limiting beliefs that aren’t in alignment with what you are trying to attract.

I encourage you to return to this exercise on a regular basis! Again, your energy is your way of being in the world.  When your energy matches what you really want in your heart, incredible things begin to unfold in your life and business… which is exactly what I wish for you.

To Experience Abundance In Your Business, You MUST Have Strong Boundaries

Did you read last week’s article in the Abundant Business ezine?  It may be my most-responded-to article yet.  So many readers wrote in to say that it struck a chord (and to share triumphant success stories of cleaning up their own boundaries).  I’ve posted the article below.  This is SUCH an important topic – please feel free to repost and re-Tweet. To make sure you don’t miss any articles, sign up for the Abundant Business ezine here.

If you follow me on Twitter or are a friend on Facebook (if not, please do!), you may have noticed that I was particularly silent last week.  Why?   After 3 weekends of travel to three amazing events in just over a month, all of the signs were clear: I was pushing myself too hard.  I needed to rest.

Now, those who know me are sitting there smiling to themselves.  I have a reputation for “doing it all.” So it would be easy to say that it was just a case of finally burning out.  But my intuition told me it there was something else going on: my energy was being drained thanks to some pretty serious boundary leaks.

Here are some areas where you want to be sure that YOUR boundaries are clearly drawn:

1. Your money. Do you cave in when your clients ask you for a discount or extra services, or worse, are you bartering your services when you know you should be getting paid?  You will never make the money you want (and deserve) if you are giving away your services.

(If you’re bartering for your services, my coach’s challenge for you is to stop immediately.  No excuses, no apologies.  No matter what the spin, the truth is, the energy behind bartering is “I can’t afford it” – not the message you want to be sending to the Universe if you want abundance in your life.)

2. Your time. Do you let sessions and services run over?  (As someone who is… eloquent, let’s say, I know what a challenge this one can be.)  Do you get caught up in the haze of mindless email checking and Twitter skimming?  Your time is your ONLY non-renewable resource, which makes it the most valuable resource you possess.

3. Your energy. I’ve always been sensitive, bordering on empathic.  And as much as I’m a little embarrassed to admit it, I’m not sure how I got to be in my mid-30′s without fully understanding the realities therein.

Over the past week, I finally got it: your energy is not entirely your own.  If you’re standing next to someone and all of a sudden, you feel grumpy when you didn’t before, guess what!  It’s probably not you. Then there’s the leaks when it comes to expending energy (on other people’s drama, for example).

In both cases: pay attention, respect yourself and just say no. Feeling weird and you don’t know why?  Check in… and perhaps move away from whoever is nearby.   Someone wants to reel you into their drama?  You don’t have to engage.  (This goes for clients, by the way.)

4. People. One of my clients finished up a project (read: completed; as in, her commitments kept) for one of her clients recently.  Her client wasn’t happy and proceeded to interrupt her during private time with all kinds of changes, which would eat into time for her OWN projects.  After a little coaching, my client drew the line: the woman would get her changes, but she’d have to wait her turn.

The lesson: unreasonable demands are just that. You don’t have to give in!  A fear of drawing the line with clients often comes down to a fear of losing a client.  Again, scarcity thinking (and not what you want!).

5. Yourself. This is the biggie, and the one I hear talked about the least.  Boundaries with all of the above start with YOU.  You can have all the boundaries in the world, but they won’t mean a thing if YOU waste your own time, your own energy, your own money. If you’re good at insulating yourself from energy vampires, then turn around and waste hours of your own time in an Internet trance, that’s an incongruence!

I invite you to examine each of these 5 areas for boundary leaks and commit to taking ONE action step to clean up one or more boundaries this week. I cleaned up my boundary leaks across the board, and I immediately felt more energized than I have in months!  (My clients are happy, too, because they have “the Elizabeth they know” back.)

ERS: One Line Takeaways

It’s been about a week since Experience The Reality Of Success.  Was going through my notes again last night and made a list of one-liners to share. (All of these are direct from David, who is pictured with me off to the right.)

You’ve undoubtedly heard many of these before; your mind will want to just move on to the next blog post, the next Facebook note, the next Tweet, whatever.  ALL of them are life-changing.  Meditate, muse, journal on them.  Enjoy!

A question to ask yourself every morning: “What am I going to do with the rest of my life?”

How you show up anywhere is how you show up everywhere.

Do you want what you want because it’s all you THINK you can accomplish?

The key to getting where you want to be is asking the correct questions.

You must abandon the following idea: “Oh, I’ll just try this.”

“I have to figure it out” immediately leads to a story that doesn’t serve you.

Stop saying, “I can’t figure it out!” Instead say, “This is easy.”

We are continuously drawing into our lives what we expect.

Your life is a direct reflection of your beliefs.

Your wishing consciously for something doesn’t mean that you’re ready to receive it.

You are not serving anyone by buying into their story. (Note: this one is particularly challenging for me!)

Inflexibility == time and energy that is lost forever.  You must get uncomfortable to make progress,.

Focus on the way, not the how.

Words are NOISE. Vibration never lies. (!!!!)

If you’re living in the past, you’re giving your past, not your present.

“No” is not no, it’s “Next.” In any business, there are always more no’s than yeses.

And, my favorite…

You don’t have to do anything to be worth everything.

That wraps up my ERS take-aways!  I hope you’ve enjoyed the content I’ve shared with you.  I’m preparing a whole new series of articles, posts, and audio that I’ll begin posting soon.

This series will be packed with useable tips and strategies to help you grow your solo business…. and it’s all leading up to a very special “something” I’ve been working on for a while.
