Thank You!

Welcome to a new year! One of my teachers calls this year, the Year of Enchantment. I believe that part of Enchantment is Grace and the experience of Graceful Business.

So what on earth is Graceful Business? I looked up Graceful and Business in the dictionary and here’s what I found.

Graceful: characterized by elegance or beauty of form, manner, movement or speech.

Business: an occupation or trade (and may I add: a calling); a person, partnership or corporation engaged in commerce, manufacturing or service; profit-seeking enterprise or concern.

There are a lot of words thrown around in sales these days that don’t feel so graceful, like explosive, turbo-charged, get on the fast-track (or get left behind), and you’ve probably heard others.

The question really is: What do you want?

For some people words like explosive ring their bell, and that’s fine. But what if you aren’t explosive or turbo-charged? What if, for goodness sake, fast isn’t a fit for you? It doesn’t mean you’ll get left behind (like it can sometimes feel when you read some of the words out there).

The question becomes: Where do you go to build your business? How do you grow your business and income, and take actions that fit you and that feel like YOU (rather than someone else’s idea of you)?

I found over the last few years that what my clients really wanted was Graceful: whether it was Graceful Business or Graceful Marketing or Graceful Income…easeful, elegant movement that felt like them and produced results.

What about you?

Begin to consider where your business feels graceful and where it doesn’t. Look at your day, your schedule, your sales and marketing and, of course, your money and income.

What could make all of the pieces of the “growing your business” puzzle more graceful, more fun and more profitable? If you’d like to chat about building your business more gracefully just email me at anne@beyondbusinessasusual.com to schedule some time to talk.

Next week I’ll talk about how I set up a Graceful Day and how you can do it too. Until then feel free to leave a comment.

This is what one of the participants wrote me after the preview call for Finding the Magic of You: Moving From Pressure to Grace:

"I actually began to feel tears come. I know it’s because when you work against yourself, thinking you’re doing what you’re “supposed” to be doing, and then you hear another way that has so much substance and heart to it, grief can arise because you suddenly realize what you’ve put yourself through, and that finally you’ll be heard and can come into your true nature – in the world.”

~ Naomi Rose, book developer, creator, “Writing from the Deeper Self”; publisher, Rose Press

I believe that it’s time to stop chasing every trend, driving ourselves crazy in the process. I believe that in the end, personal connection trumps Social Media, and that people are hungry for high touch in a high tech world.

I believe we can move beyond the pressure we often feel and build our businesses in a more graceful way.

To that end, I invite you to read about Finding the Magic of You (just scroll down the page once you open the link) and I invite you to join us January 18th and 25th for the live webinar.

I wanted you to be able to listen to the preview call I did a few days ago, Finding the Magic of You: Moving From Pressure to Grace. It’s about 40 minutes long.

If you want a more graceful way to build your business and make money, I invite you to join us…I promise it will give you relief and joy.

Warmly,

Tonight’s the Preview: The One Thing You Need to Know to Move From Pressure to Grace!

Do you know people who seem to know where they’re going? They seem to know just what they’re here for, how to do it, and how to get there.

It seems natural, like things just flow. They succeed without stress. Their websites reflect who they are, they know just what to wear, and everything about their business reflects them on their very best day.

They know intuitively what to do next and the things they do, work for them.

All of that comes out of one thing: your true presence and natural power.

And we’ll talk about that on the Preview call Tonight at 6pm Pacific: Finding the Magic of You: From Pressure to Grace. Register for the free preview call here

You’ll begin to relax into doing what you’re here to do, in a way that’s uniquely yours.

“Grace is the state of being fully and effortlessly engaged in the world. In such a state of grace, your creativity isn’t dissipated by conflict. Energy isn’t wasted. Tolerance, patience, and self-assurance are your hallmarks."

How to Discover Your Unique Presence
and Natural Power
and Translate Them into
Your Presentation, Your Productivity
and Your Profitability

A 3-hour Foundation Workshop to Introduce You to Your
Soul’s Path and Natural Marketing Style

How does the pressure and struggle begin? Often it’s when we’re children. We hear admonishments like:

Settle down!
Hurry up!
You’re too pushy!
Lighten up!

They go against our true nature, but we don’t have a lot of options, we’re kids.

When we grow up and start our own business we get conflicted. Should we follow our real, true energy or do we hear those critical voices inside our head and stop ourselves?

So, often, we live conflicted with our true nature and natural power.

In this preview call, you’ll begin to see how to recapture your unique presence and power and how to use it to your best advantage, from your marketing to the actual running of your business.

It’s hard to both feel graceful and conflicted at the same time: and so we will begin to solve that conundrum.

You will start to see how to resolve the conflicts, claim your unique presence and power so that your brand emerges naturally, your marketing flows creatively, and attracting money becomes easy and graceful.

I know this call will give you relief and a new possibility of who you can be in your world. Click here to register for the call and click here to read more and register for the workshop.

How to Discover Your Unique Presence
and Natural Power
and Translate Them into
Your Presentation, Your Productivity
and Your Profitability

A 3-hour Foundation Workshop to Introduce You to Your
Soul’s Path and Natural Marketing Style

I heard Oprah say recently that what everyone
wants to know is that:

You were seen.
You were heard.
And you mattered.

I’ll add to that: I think people long to have their True Self known: to themselves and to the world. They want to feel safe to come out of hiding. So much about being an entrepreneur is having the courage to show up and shine.

Often we create our work out of nothing that’s been here before and there’s no agreement out there…so showing up and shining is scary to say the least.

And yet, we long to have our True Voice heard and most of all, we want our gift to matter, to have impact on those who need the gift that only we came to give.

Even if you’re a coach or a realtor or a massage therapist, professions where it looks like you do the same thing as many other people, there is this deep core of unique DNA that only you possess.

People are looking for you.

And yet, we were often taught to suppress our natural sixth sense, movement and pace, and even our gifts sometimes seemed like they didn’t have a place in our families or the world. Even now, sometimes the rules of Internet marketing feel like they overshadow real human connection.

So it is time to find your unique and magnificent Presence and Power so those who have been searching can find you now. Go here to find out more and to register.

“A huge lesson for me was that if I was going to be successful, I had to be successful as myself - I couldn’t be successful doing what other people were doing. I had to do what I believed in and what felt real to me and felt true to me, because the worst thing to be is successful as someone else.”
Jay-Z

Have you ever thought about what causes the biggest struggle in business? It’s trying to be someone you’re not and trying to do it someone else’s way when you know deep down it doesn’t fit for you. I can tell you from first hand experience it sucks the energy right out of you, it makes you doubt yourself and your choices.

And most important, it’s avoidable!

Inside of you, lives your Soul’s path - so easy to find, you’ll be stunned (and relieved)! When you put together the components of your Unique Type of Presence and your Natural Power they will inform your branding, your marketing, the way you make money, and the way you grow your business.

Best of all, depending on your Presence, it’ll make your business more fun, more relaxed, more productive, or just perfect for you.

Let’s end struggle together. Let’s create a world of business that honors and welcomes everyone’s True Voice and Expression. Join me for Finding the Magic of You. Three hours to change your life forever. I promise ☺!

We’re all born with our own brand of personal magic so why do most of us have a hard time claiming it? Why is it, we suppress our unique presence and natural power? Why is it we don’t value them? Why is it we spend hours (and lots of money) trying to feel worthy, especially in the realm of growing our business and income?

Well, here’s a little secret.

Did you know that most business, marketing, and sales training (and most coaching, in general) is based on a dynamic, swift, get results now model? What if producing results at all cost and doing it like the Roadrunner, gets some people out of bed in the morning, but not you?

There’s nothing wrong with their pace, it just may not be your pace.

What if you are light, quick and have random movement through the day and are blessed with the gift of ideas? What if you are here to inspire hope and possibility in people?

What if you are more fluid and flowing, and your great gift is calm with an attention to detail that makes you thorough, but not swift? What if part of your beauty and brilliance is sensitivity and deep connection?

What if you are perfecting and still by nature? What if your gift is a keen eye that can see the big picture, what’s missing, and how it can be made better? You often have the bold approach that’s just what’s needed.

What then? What about those talented people?What about YOU?

Everyone produces results, they simply do it at their own pace; and that pace needs to be respected and honored. Your natural pace is your gift, and yet, in business, we often see experts with a single approach to everyone. One size does not fit all.

If you are tired of struggling against your natural presence in the world, I invite you to join me for Finding the Magic of You. If you give me 3 hours of your life, you will discover a magic in you that will astound and delight you. Click here to read more and to register.
