My New Life Begins

After listening to this recording with Jim Rohn I realized, what I have been doing at least for the last couple of decades: creating the final part of this lifetime that might bear the title "My Poor Old Age".

And I have been extremely successful at that.

Sitting with that recording, I decided to choose a different story for the coming years of this life.

I am not really sure about the title yet, but the direction is clear for me: a prosperous and deeply satisfying last part of this lifetime for myself and the world a better place for the generations to come.

The first step that I took was jointing a unique certification course at the Entrepreneur Institute and making the first of  the 12 payments for it.

It started today and is resonating completely with my longing to organically combine deep spirituality with successful entrepreneurship.

I still have more than 2 weeks to experience it and to drop out if it doesn't feel right to stay.

But, for now, I am expecting it to work and bring desired changes into my experience.

And make the whole world a more harmonious and enjoyable place by the ripple effects of that.

Since the beginning of the year, the main focus of my journey has been on the transformation of my relationship with money and business.

Lots of old wounds and beliefs have been making this relationship a constant battle field and roller coaster for decades.

Lots have healed and transformed already during these past 6 months.

Now, it feels like I have stepped into a parallel universe with a very different me and circumstances I create.

Feels rather scary but very exciting at the same time. And I'm really curious about what comes next.

Five days ago I purchased 2 new domain names, paid for one year of website hosting, and engaged my youngest son in creating a new blog for me.

As soon as it is active, I will invite you to follow me over there and become part of my journey into this new expansion of consciousness.

A Way To Find Your Innate Joy

Today, somebody shared a link to this post by Shenee Howard on Facebook.

"It didn't matter how much I accomplished or how much I did, the year was never enough for me. I had to do more, more, more. The work I did was NEVER good enough..."

Sounds familiar?

You can visit Shenee's website and read the whole article. It's short, but Shenee really nailed it!

Stopping only for a minute and listening to her advice might help you find your innate joy and finish off this year and start the next on a much happier note.

Essential Things for Budding Entrepreneurs

Today, I stumbled upon this post by Tim Ferris, that would really benefit you, if you're a budding entrepreneur and have more questions than answers about networking.

And I looked up two things he mentioned in the Q&A part:

1. 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing,

2. 1,000 True Fans.

What a treasure!!!

Those guys really know, what they are talking about!

And, if you have any questions or need any help implementing the ideas that feel "HELL YEAH!" to you (and I'd NEVER EVER suggest you try to implement ones that don't make you feel absolutely excited), schedule a session with me and let's talk!

Business Boot Camp and Painting Again

Last week felt pretty much like a creative business boot camp, as I continued to work through the book by Jennifer Lee and listened to one business guru after another, tried to figure out my unique expertise and the best ways to serve with it using the Soulcollage and other tools. For now, I just continue to discover more and more gifts and have no idea, how to make them all work together... I hope, it's just a phase, and I can figure it out with time and perseverance. Yesterday, I listened to an interview with Flora Bowley, and she mentioned a span of 18(!!!) years between her starting to consider herself an artist and the flourishing business she has now. The thing is, I don't have 18 years. I'm almost 55 and need to feed me, my 2 youngest kids, and animals now. That makes me take almost every job I can get, although they don't provide me with serious income and slow down my process of figuring out a better way of life. Besides, working as a freelancer doesn't give me much control over our life, as the offers come in, as they do, sometimes - one a week or even less, sometimes - 4 at once, as it happened today. :) But enough about that!

I didn't think I'd take any more art courses, but the Strathmore Artist Papers offer some for free, so I signed up for the class with Robert Joyner. And the second video brought me back to painting, which felt really good after quite a while.

This is the first result

And these are some of the phases it went through

Not loose enough for Robert Joyner, I guess, but almost too lose for RitaJC :)

This is it for today, excerpt for the usual ending :)
