Call to Action, Branding, Selling…etc….

I need a call to action on my website? I need a brand? I need to market differently! I need give aways, I need a BIO if I want to be seen. This last one I definitely agree with!

These are “real” things that are in our world of marketing. I have done so many mentoring programs in the last year that my head is spinning. Some of them say:

I need a brand otherwise I will get no where!

I need to participate in another program and purchase another course to be Spiritual and live a quieter more passionate life!

Doing one more course will help me to slow down, work less, lose weight, have a better relationship! And……..

Make 6 figures in the next 6 months.

Some of these mentors say: If you are just depending on referrals for your business then “What are you afraid of?” Answer: It is not fear that keeps me loving my referrals. It is a sense of pride in who I am and what I do. I have been in business as a Wellness/Transformational Coach for 22 years and I have stayed in business all these years because the hundreds of people who I have coached continue to refer me. THANK YOU! They think I am “good” at what I do.” Hell I think I am great at what I do! I love who I am and what I do. I have always prided myself on the fact that I have never advertised and have had a wonderful life of being self-employed as a coach.

Then there are others that say: You need a high-end photo shoot and lavish hotels and resorts to show your clients what “the good life” is all about and how they can reach their highest potential. OK, so I have an office that I have occupied for 22 years. The carpet needs to be changed but I did recently paint it. And I still have my beautiful clients and they keep referring me. And I am not saying that I would not be open to having my intensive in high-end hotels, resorts and spas. That is actually on my list of things that I will be offering next year. See I do learn and utilize their teaching (When they resonate with me)!

Others say you cannot make 6 figures by working hours for dollars — or is it dollars for hours? Well, here I am doing this for 22 years and I have a beautiful and what I see as an abundant life. I travel at least 7 times a year. I work less than 40 hours a week and I live on an acre of land on the North Shore of Long Island, NY. It’s all perspective as far as I am concerned. And mostly it is all relative. Relative to what abundance looks like to each person.

I love experiencing these courses, their programs, their mentorship. I love the idea that I can pay other people for their knowledge and expertise. I am in appreciation that I have the financial ability and the desire to invest my time and money into my self. My insatiable appetite to learn more and open myself up to other people who have experience in areas that I want to learn more about.

I know what I need because I have mentored myself for most of my life. I taught myself to check in and to discern. Through this discernment I have learned about my desires, wants and needs. I am  Always Choosing!  What rocks my world, floats my boat, makes my toes curl and affords me the opportunity to:                                                                                  “Dance to the Beat of My Own Drum!” 

 

 

 

“Henry David Thoreau’s quote:

“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”

I have always loved those words. As a teenager I used them to fortify my rebellion against every type of authority. I used those words as my badge for my independence! Now I take pride in my independence and my knowledge of interdependence.

I do not want to re-invent the wheel. I will listen to, learn from others and discern what works for me and what doesn’t.

My life is all about CHOICE! I believe that I always have enough and I also always strive for more: more information, more emotional connection, more money, more joy, more passion, more insight into me and always more Laughter!
