Becoming Successful By Overcoming Fear- Part 1

People are scared. Across the country folks are losing their homes—and even if you can keep your house it’s worth much less than it was several years ago. Jobs with liveable wages and benefits are rapidly disappearing. With the crashing and burning happening on Wall Street the value of many people’s retirement accounts has plummeted. Last, but certainly not least, affordable health insurance evades more and more Americans. It’s easy to be sucked into the collective fear that is spreading around the country. The collective fear leads many people to just want to survive the storm. They duck their heads down and pray fo the best. Other people however are deciding that it’s time to take control of their lives and their finances. They are ready to thrive. In Chinese the symbol for crisis is the same as opportunity. It’s therefore not surprising that even in the middle of this financial chaos there are people still making money and living large—and that’s been the case throughout history.

So What REALLY separates the successful from the rest of us? I have identified 5 traits that I will discuss in the coming days:

#1. They have a prosperity mind-set. Successful people refuse to focus on their fears. They are really determined that they are going to get theirs—no matter what. This means that they don’t spend a lot of time thinking that they can’t make it because they’re female, a member of a minority group, too old, female, not qualified, undereducated, too fat, don’t live in NY or LA or too unattractive. There’s a big difference between saying that you want to be wealthy and actually believing that you can be. The success stories are made of up people who truly believed that they deserved the best that life had to offer. These folks also got off their rears and took concrete steps toward their goals. Anyone whose ever seen a successful person up close knows that although they may play hard—they also work VERY hard. These people are constantly in meetings, discussing deals and investigating new opportunities. Successful people also surround themselves with knowledgeable advisers who can help them to improve their game and fulfil their vision.. Succcessful people know that they are exactly where they are supposed to be—it’s not a fluke or an accident.

Action Step: List you top 5 reasons why you can’t get ahead. Read your list and determine why each one is a really just an excuse. For instance, if you say that don’t have enough education; you can go back to school, even if its only one class at a time.

Working Moms Mentor Scholarship Program

So what is Personal Coaching?

It’s a collaborative partnership that enables you to gain fresh perspective for achieving both short-term and long-term goals. Coaching is about change.

At core personal coaching is the relationship between coach and client, and the dialogue for change that they create. Through meaningful coaching communication you will be able to find answers and take the necessary actions that lead to reaching your goals for change.

Coaching focuses on what you want. People seek out life coaches because they want to reach an important goal, or want to create something new. As your coach, I am here to remind you of what it is you are committed to creating and help you to take the necessary actions to achieve it. I am also there to provide the trusting support that develops in a coaching relationship.

Are You Thinking That Personal Coaching Isn’t for Women Like You?

If so, you should be asking your self, “why not me?” Is self-improvement only for “other women?” Don’t YOU deserve to live your best life? Maybe thinking that you don’t have enough time, money or focus is exacting what’s holding you back. Ask yourself how much time have you spent on activities and people that haven’t improved your life. Also ask yourself, how much money have you spent on things that only made you feel better only until the bill arrived. You put your focus, in the form of money and time on things that you care about. If you care about improving your quality of life and in turn your children’s you’ll realize that you are probably the perfect candidate to make the investment in personal coaching. If you’re willing to invest in a life that is more happy, harmonious and abundant, contact me at info@workingmomsmentor.com to find out about the various coaching programs for working moms.

Romance and Emotional Abundance

Romantic relationships...they are part of the sweetness that makes our life wonderful. In many instances our lives have been enhanced by the people whom we've chosen to share our lives and selves with. For most of us, however there are also a few relationships that torn at our self-esteem and our sanity.

It seems trite, but the difference between a relationship that is life affirming and one that is life sapping is us. When we are focused on ourselves, loving ourselves and focused on improving the quality of our lives, we attract people who can assist us on that journey. These are the people who provide us needed support, information and insight. However, when are desperately looking for someone else to love us or rescue us for our financial responsibilities, we are going to attract partners who simply highlight our neediness and our perceived unworthiness.

Every relationship is a mirror into ourselves. This means that if we don't like our partner, we should be looking at ourselves and not them to find the REAL source of the problem.

Another person cannot "complete" us. For us to be able to enter into healthy, loving and productive relationships we have to bring an already complete person to the party. The alternative is that you---a 1/2 of a person is constantly expecting and looking for someone else to compensate for the shortfalls in your life. Essentially, you are giving the power of your life and its direction over to someone else.

Turning the table on yourself allows you to "fix" yourself and get clear about what you want from a partner that aligns with your values--- rather than continuing to choose partners whom you hope will make all of your problems disappear.

Exercise:
What do you dislike about your current (or former partner)....write them down. Now look at that list and decide if you share any of the disliked qualities. Maybe you aren't as truthful or reliable as you a would like to think. Perhaps you've signaled an ambivalence about commitment.
