Are there any areas in your life that you are limiting yourself? Be totally honest.  In your career, is there something you would just LOVE to be doing, but have no idea how to make it happen? Or maybe you feel intimidated to even try? What if you knew that your new venture or challenge would be a sure thing. You would go for it. Wouldn’t you?

In your relationship, have you settled in your choices because you’re afraid you might not find anyone better? Do you stay in your current relationship because of fear?

There are 3 key barriers that tend to hold people back from venturing out into the wild blue yonder.

Fear. Fear of failure, fear of success, fear of being judged, fear of the unknown, fear of loss of security, fear of not enjoying your choices…I could go on.

Disconnection from Passion. You know that feeling. The one that fills you up with bubbles of excitement and satisfaction. Often hard to get there when you have felt stuck, held back, trapped for some time.

Lack of direction. You may not be afraid. You may know exactly what you want to do. But you have no idea how to make it happen. This is not an uncommon scenario.

Can you relate? I want to hear from you….tell me your stories.

What if you had a book that helped you solve the mystery to all three barriers? I know where you would be right now.

Dancing in the streets!

Comment away!

So I set a more realistic goal for myself and wrote for an entire year. Did you know that if you write only one page per day, you can finish an entire book in one year. If you think about the gargantuan process of writing an entire novel or non-fiction book, it can seem overwhelming. But when you break it down in small increments like I did, it is very doable.

I spent time in my practice during the day, and wrote a bit each evening and weekend. Starting the first page was the hardest part, but once I was able to get into the mental zone of writing, the hardest part was stopping the creative flow to go to eat or sleep! It was a very intense time for me. As I was writing for hours, it felt like my hands had taken a life of their own. It was as if information was flowing out of me that I had know idea existed. The entire process was completely cathartic and enlivening.

If you have experienced anything like this than you may relate. You begin to have a love affair with your creative process. Whether your are building a house, painting a portrait, or writing a book, you are part of the birthing process and creating new life.  Your goal is to complete your vision. However, the most meaningful part is the development of your vision. Once it is complete, you feel an amazing sense of satisfaction. But then you have to close the book and say goodbye.

Please send me any comments or questions you may have.

What does it mean to have a business with soul? Does it mean it has a good beat, its spiritually  based, or a sturdy pair of shoes?  No, not really. The soul, I believe, is the essence of who we are. Our soul is like our life signature, our energy imprint. So what does it mean to have a business with soul? It means to create a business that comes from the core of who you are. When your business is the external expression of your voice and your passion, it truly resonates with your soul. This also means that whatever your business represents, highlights, sells, and creates should fit who you are as an individual and your personal mission. When your business has soul by combining passion and meaning, it is more likely to result in success and longevity. When your business comes from your heart and soul, it has more chance to thrive during the highs and the lows that any entrepreneur might face.  Blast Off Coaching  has soul. Homeopathic Wellness has soul. I am passionate about them both. They both have deep meaning to me. When you spend time on efforts that really matter to you, it’s much more probable that you’ll make the commitment that’s necessary to build a lasting entity. This love of your work is the glue that will keep you cherishing your wins and picking yourself up after your losses as you progress on your path toward success. Building a business that has soul is also a great deal more fun than one that is only about the money. Launch a business with soul, stick with it and the business and you cannot help but thrive. Learn more about creating a soul business from the release of my upcoming book, Blast Off! The Surefire Success Plan To Launch Your Dreams Into Reality on January 19th 2010.

Stop for a moment and ask yourself these three powerful questions.

★At this very moment, are you who you want to be?

★★Is your daily life full of things you want to do?

★★Are you attaining the goals and fulfillment that you  want to have?

If you can answer “Yes” to each question, congratulations! You have either inherited or designed a life process that is working for you. In your case, the Blast Off! principles will only enhance your already satisfying journey. On the other hand, if you’ve answered “No” to any or all of these queries, let me ask you one more very important question…

Do you want to be at the same place you are now, with the same frustration, the same struggles, and the same complaints, one year from now or even ten years from now?

If the thought of being at this same juncture of your path, personally, professionally, emotionally and spiritually, ten years from now does not light a raging fire underneath your feet for moving toward transformation, then your fear of changing must be greater than your desire for it. If this is your story but you’re still game, the Blast Off! Program can help you push past your fear and enter a more exciting state. And if your fire has been ignited, let’s work together to infuse your life with the magic, joy, love and prosperity that you so deserve.

Fifteen years ago, I asked myself that same question, “How would I feel about being in the same place ten years from now?”

Honestly, the thought of remaining stuck and frustrated with no movement forward on my life path made me nauseous. I had spent so much time fighting for what I wanted in relationships and in my career that I didn’t know what else could be done. All I knew for sure was that the combination of a passionless relationship and a career without meaning was absolutely killing me. Let me clarify … it wasn’t actually the relationship or my career that was killing me when I needed to change. It was the negative, tainted energy I owned around those two areas of my life, and the manner in which I chose to expend my energy toward them. The fact is that I was completely responsible for creating my own misery. No one else. I made the choice to be in that relationship.I chose the career. And I also chose to allow them both to affect me in a negative way. Hearing myself complain and wallow in my own anger, sadness and stuckness was draining and, in the end, only bred more anger, sadness and stuckness.

The way I saw it, I had two choices:

1. Either I needed to accept my circumstances while making the best of them (which was not an option)…

2. Or I had to make a change (which is what my soul was crying out for me to do).

Watch this short video and learn:

How to Find Inspiration From A Place Of Stuckness

Join me over the next several months and I will share with you how I turned my life from the bottomless pit to flying high. (Literally. Besides becoming a successful entrepreneur, I became a trapeze artist!)  I will guide you down your own path Blast Off Path of Passion and Meaning. Please share with me your insights and experiences once you begin to take action on your own Blast Off Path.

 affected your choices regarding your relationships,

careers, financial state, hobbies and values. What are you living now as a

result of these negative beliefs?

Here are some examples:

Career: I am so worried about financial security that I am not really

pursuing my dream career. I am not mentally stimulated in my job. In

fact, I am so bored at work.

Relationship: I have always settled for partners who I knew would not

abandon me, even though I wasn’t really attracted to them. Then I lose

interest and leave.

Now it’s your turn. Write two to three sentences about where you are now in the

following areas of your life based on any fearful choices you have made or limiting

beliefs you hold: (1) career, (2) relationship, (3) financial, (4) personal fulfillment,

(5) adventure and (6) spiritual. 

When you really think about it, are you surprised to see how much your fears have

played a role in your major life choices? Mind-boggling, isn’t it?

I will leave you with this thought. Any choice that you make out of fear will most

likely NOT leave you with a  fulfilling or rewarding result.
