They say, who exactly are "they" anyway?  But, I digress...They say "Life Happens while you make plans".  Yep.  Boy, do I agree!  After an incredibly busy non-stop week culminating in SpaDay-a fundraiser for CancerSuportFoundation.org!  Like a trade show with 10 min. free massage or reiki or, in my case-a self test and 10 min. mini coaching session...So, up and out the door 7:45am til 4:30pm-long day after a loong week!   My networking group, Networking Central is also focusing on 2 non-profits, CancerSupportFoundation.org & The Light of Truth Center...Look at the Fan Page on Facebook.  My networking group lets me bring great people together, help much needed non-profits "by giving back" in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.  Sure, you exchange biz cards, but, more importantly, you're making connections & building relationships.  That's what I love to do... Sat. night, had no energy to do anything!

Sat. night, I crashed big time-went to bed about 7pm (which is way too early for me!)  I'm usually a night owl and go to bed 12-1am!  Sunday, I was pretty useless -napping intermittently and being a couch potato-reading ,not TV.

Mon.-Wed-more of same.   I realized I overdid it and my body shouted to rest!  I did.  Now, I feel better.  I absolutely despise limitations-I'm a 7 on the Enneagram!  They hate having choices taken away.  Yep.  But I also hated being at mercy of some unknown health issue!  So, rest it is.  Don't overdo.

Not curtailing my networking and follow up strategies, but making a conscious choice to do more online networking.  Attending 3-4 events but not back to back! :)

Still reclaiming my life & biz..but, like most things-Moderation is the key!  So, connect with me-help me stay healthy & happy! 

In Abundance!

I've been having some health challenges & was 'off the grid" for over a year!  Now, I'm trying to reclaim both my life and my business.  Actually, I am my business!  Well, not completely...When I say my business is my life!  That who I am  and what I do are in congruence.  I am a Life Transitions Expert & Marketing Coach.  I don't turn my coaching life on & off!  It's who I am-I love helping people, mostly women, in transition-either those wanting to get out of Corporate America changing careers/jobs or midlife women Solo-Entrepreneurs who want to create a life they love, like me!  How does Marketing fit in?  Easy-Marketing is vital to your business! And I think it's really fun and many say I'm good at it, too!

As a boomer/midlife woman Solo-Entrepreneur, I've learned many things I need to create the life & business I love!  I specialize in low -cost/no -cost marketing strategies and help women solo-entrepreneurs take their business and grow and achieve their dreams/goals.  Being a part of their journey is so fulfilling-I love it and am fully invested in the success of my coaching clients.

As I said, I'm reclaiming everything in my life-business, included.  I'm on a journey, walking more, going to Curves & working out which makes me stronger and better balanced.  All my health issues involved balance or lack thereof!  So, I'm trying to have LIFE/work balance but want to do it all and have it all YESTERDAY!

I know-patience!  I'm trying...I help my coaching clients establish goals & break the long-term goals into bite size chunks...So, a long-term goal by Jan. 1, 2011, I want to be seeing 15 Coaching Clients/week!  Now, let's break it down into smaller steps....In order to attract coaching clients-these 3 things need to happen each week-1.attend 4 networking events & start follow up process.2. Schedule 3 1 on 1 meetings with prospective clients/strategic alliances for collaboration efforts. 3. Conduct 5 follow up phone calls daily.

These are my first 3 actions I must do in order to achieve my 6 month long term Goal!  Stay tuned!

In Abundance!
