Keep your focus on the goal and stay in community 'Nurses Transition Network'

Opra always inspires me and provides the greatest roll models who can show us the way to get through those challenges when all seems to be going wrong or you feel vulnerable to circumstances beyond your control.
Inspiring-Songs  You may feel isolated and alone, but you are not alone and can link with others who face the same challenges as you by going to MeetUp and start a group in your area using the name 'Nurses Transition Network.'  Be part of a community of thinkers and achievers who are going to move forward with their lives and network together.  Use WordPress and get a free website to start your business.  VistaPrint offer free business cards.  You will need to purchase a laptop if you need to access wifi in public places such as the library or coffee shop.  Do what you need to - but just do it!  Gloria Steinem has some funny and some more serious quotes that might help you feel like you are connected with others who have dealt with some challenging issues in life too.  I like the first one 'The truth will set you free but first it will piss you off.'

I recommend learning about money from Suze Orman who says 'To live a life of material and spiritual abundance everything about you must be in harmony.'  The inner spiritual work is vital and it takes courage to face who you are and what you know is inside that needs to be weeded out and only you can do the work.  

Lenders in the UK predict a three-year high in credit levels for small firms.  It is advisable from my own personal experience to bank with a small bank like The Co-operative Bank because they are willing to look at you with fresh eyes and not through the usual banking message of poor risk perhaps if you are limited with income at the moment.  Getting a business loan can help you get a start and smaller community banks like these and credit unions often have group benefits for other services such as purchasing electronic items like computers and perhaps phones.  I will check out any group rates for this group as you join make sure you mention my name and the group name so that we can build up a community that this and other small lending banks will look at for loans and discounts on items needed for business.  I realize that the Directors of The Co-operative bank have resigned and there are changes going on at the moment but I think it will still be the best option for people who need financial support from their bank.  I also want to state that I am very encouraged by President Obama's pick for the Federal Reserve Chairperson, Janet Yellin.  Her teacher and mentor was James Tobin who died in 2002 and whom she quoted as saying 'He encouraged his students to work that would not only meet a high intellectual standard, but would improve the well-being of mankind.'  I have read in the past that the Dali Lama said that the world will improve when more women get into positions of power and I believe that.

I recommend a vegetarian diet because it's ethical to not harm animals and meat is not good for your health.  I am in awe of Sir. Paul McCartney who has stood by these friends of mankind and speaks openly about their plight.  ...if slaughter houses had glass walls... think about how you respond to this video and what you can do differently at this point in your personal and spiritual development to change.  It takes a conscious effort to change and not just go along with what others do.  Step out and be a promoter of good for animals.

There has been a lot written about the increase in number of Type 2 Diabetes and that is a natural area for any nurse to excel in by providing diet and education in the community where people live by connecting via Cookisto an innovative on line community that connects local cooks with people who want food delivered to their homes or offices that gives an option to regular takeaways for five pounds per serving.  You can provide vegetarian meals for diabetics or people with GI disorders that require a special diet.  Since opening they have 300 chefs and 5,000 clients ordering foods on line.  Sounds like a winner to me I only wish I could cook!  

My very best wishes are with you all as you transition to a business career and start earning money.  Money is important and you can do it!  Please let me know if I can help you by contacting me at lawrencerita511@gmail.com

Remember to meditate and journal.  It works and check out the Dhali Lama's website for sources of information and inspiration.  Also Science of Spirituality to check out meditation classes and vegetarian cooking classes and recipies.  Having Google is a gift because we can all come together and go on this spiritual journey that is what we are here in this life for.  I really appreciate Google and having this site to reach out to those who are reading from the US to China!  I know that our community can make a difference in the lives of many and hopefully politicians will pay attention to the financial and emotional cost of exclusions.  

Everything works for the good if you choose it.

Arizona Topix has a group under the heading 'how many nurses licenses.....' for nurses to share their personal experiences with the state board of nursing.  'Let each person tell the truth from his own experience.' - Florence Nightingale.
The AACN has made a powerful statement about what nurses face day to day in the workplace, calling for nursing practice to be guided by six essential standards.  'Standards for establishing and sustaining healthy work environments...negative, demoralizing and unsafe conditions in workplaces cannot be allowed to continue!'

Pema Chodron is a Buddhist Monk who writes about uncertainty and change.  During the process of an investigation or disciplinary action or other more serious and life altering measures it is a time for self development and learning from teachers such as Pema who can help you get through the despair.  The challenge is to allow what has to be and to soften in the process instead of resist.  This is the way of enlightened beings.  One saint says 'Sweet is thy will O Lord.'  We have a saying 'run for your life!' and sometimes that's tempting, but to stand tall and let your light shine, takes inner courage.  'Strength does not come from physical capacity.  It comes from indomitable will.'  Mahatma Ghandi.  There is a tab for ways to change negative thoughts to positive ones on the site if you would click on 'Pema Chedron.'

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Healing-Shame-That-Binds-You/dp/1452603618  John Bradshaw writes and shares about shame.  Shame is something that can be deep rooted in our childhood and it becomes magnified when put under stress of having a state board investigation etc.  When left powerless to earn a living and your fate lies in the hands of those who have accused you and those who have made the charges against you, it evokes a feeling of shame.  The best way to approach the challenge is to look on this opportunity to go deeper into your quest to know yourself and root out this part of yourself that isn't real but superimposed onto your personality through social conditioning.
www.sos.org is a web site with information about third eye meditation called Joyti meditiation which I encourage you to learn.  H.H. Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj encourages people to think positively.  'Every time we are about to have a negative thought, word, or deed which is detrimental to our progress, we  should try to nip it in the bud.'  I can attest to the fact that it's a life time's work and can share that it is best to accept that you think negative thoughts.  It is a milestone in your growth to get to the point where you are aware of such thoughts and can then turn your awareness to how it makes you feel.  Immediately go to a repertoire of positive thoughts that evoke bright and good feelings such as a nice experience, a memory of nature etc.  Be ready to switch channels as quick as a switch on the t.v. channel. Thinking of your Higher Power, Jesus, or one of the prophets of the Old Testament for instance who is an empowering figure for you will help with this process.

I am from Kenya originally and love the way animals get along.  Perhaps we can learn a lesson or two?

St. Hilda's, Birmingham will have a guest speaker on Tuesday 1st October, Dr. Julie Jones, nurse ethicist will speak about her role with the NHS related to decision making for budgets.  Please mark your calendars and send in questions via email to her if you cannot attend in person.

Money is important.  Suze Orman says 'To live a life of material and spiritual abundance everything about you must be in harmony.'  

Lice Removal  When you are unable to work in your profession it's time to think about business!  One service that mom's will appreciate is lice removal for kids.  No matter where you live this is a problem whenever kids mix at school.  The more affluent areas are the most promising for this service.  Click on the tab and you will see the services that are offered includes laundering clothes.  Some mom's just would rather have their child treated in a contained environment away from home.

Think of house sitting and child care before and after school for professional couples who can afford your service.  At this time in your life you have to put your needs first as a business person.  You can always be charitable and generous with giving to support the mission of your church, Higher Power etc. when you have the money entering into your business bank account. 

Many children have to travel back and forth to boarding school.  In the UK I read an article that parents get better deals for boarding school fees in the US.  If you live in the UK you could place an advertisement in The Lady magazine.  

When you start out with an idea it starts to materialize when you visualize every step in the process to your success.  Prayer is important and then know that the Universe will bring the conditions necessary for you to bring all you need.  Meditation is when you sit still and listen.  The answers are inside and if you still the mind with the focus between the eyes you will know what to do.

Write every goal down with short term, medium term and long term dates and objectives that you can follow to keep tabs on your progress.

You are not alone and many are facing the same challenges as you are at this very moment.  Be supportive with each-other and connect via the MeetUp tab and form groups wherever you are to network and provide business and job leads.  

My prayers and very best wishes are with you in the days ahead.  I have set my goals for this week and will keep you posted about the website and how I am doing with my book manuscript.

Motivate, motivate, motivate and turn trouble into a platform for abundant living...

I believe that nurses can adapt to alternative careers and actually make more money than they could have in nursing although money is not the main motivator for going into the nursing profession for most.  "Money is important" is one of the most clarifying statements I have ever heard and it was said to me one day be a friend and someone whom I have respect for Jimmy Ezzell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yBFZDPcJtk  I encourage you to take the time to watch his video and others on the subject of marketing and selling.  He will "fire you up" and help you to develop the personal skills necessary to adapt to the world of marketing health products for instance.  I happen to know Jimmy and because he is a good Christian family man I think that he's a good mentor for those who need to adapt to new ways of earning money.
There are times in life when you will have to do what you have to do to make it through and it won't be easy but don't give up.
Many of the best motivators say that success is hiding around the next corner after you have been through a period of defeat and struggle.  Many also speak about the process involved in the struggle to success as a process of inner growth and strengthening through which you come to know your true self and connect with the more positive and higher aspects of our being or soul.  It then becomes a journey to be embraced and as you transition from lower negative energy that can make you have feelings anger and resentment over facing investigations and discipline, you will actually like to let your life unfold and follow the way to a lifestyle and way of earning money that will be a joy to you.  It may take time and if you view your efforts as stepping stones to a greater goal you won't get caught up with labeling the efforts that don't work out as failures.  Remember that every effort you make will be supported by Grace if you allow it to be and draw in that Grace through trust in yourself and your Higher Power.  I will always include spirituality in what I share with you because without God, Consciousness, Creator or whatever context you have for Him, remember Him in all that you do and ask for guidance and protection.
I have moved to the UK from the US because I could stabilize here because the government had benefits that I could survive on for a while.  I have managed to become more independent over time and hope to be completely independent in time.  My goals are around writing and publishing.  I will also have some videos for you to watch and hope that nurses will follow my lead and as the song from Oklahoma said "Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again!"   Meditate daily by sitting quietly and closing your eyes.  Focus your attention on the space between your eyebrows and watch whatever is before you.  Repeat the name of God that has meaning for you and you will find that once the mind is engaged with repeating God's name it will be stilled.
Let your friends know what business you are doing if it is sales for instance and ask them to buy products from you.  If you need help with what kind of business to start find out which ones offer entrepreneurial classes through your local library.  They will help you develop your ideas and translate them into a business plan.  I mentioned ways to fund a business in my last article and your can also find other resources through the Small Business Association.
Having the time to explore your potential is a positive thing and it's now up to you to make use of this time to broaden your horizons.  No one can limit your talents and your ability to earn money.  Show people your true character and rise up to the occasion and set the personal development steps you need in place.  Being able to transcend difficulties is something we have to learn and it comes down to having a positive attitude.  I recommend being very selective and conscious of who you associate with.  Make sure that you surround yourself with positive and supportive people who are motivated and don't sit around and say negative thing.  Words are extremely powerful and you want only to speak what you want to actually manifest and influence your life.  Always says good things about others or like your mother would have told you don't say anything at all!
I mentioned Jimmy Ezzell at the beginning of this article because he is someone who is living his dream and he once shared with me that he doesn't watch the news for instance because as we all know it contains mostly negative stuff.  Like Jimmy, read motivational books and spend time contemplating who you are and what life is about.  Journal daily and weed our your negative thoughts and behaviors like weeds in your garden as Jim Rohn my favorite leadership coach would say.  It's all about personal development and spiritual development.  Before you can know God you have to know yourself.  They go hand in hand.  Remember the stepping stone to spirituality is ethical living and that means being true to yourself also so do the things that are meaningful to you.
Perhaps like me, you have felt as a nurse that too much of what we do to help people actually is driven by the pharmacological industry and if you keep up with the news Kline, Smith and Glaxo is in the news again for unethical business practice now involving sales in China.
Children are often identified as ADHD after six years old when they enter the school system.  It's always a puzzle to me why teachers don't have to have a minor at least in psychology.  They need to know things like learning theories as Bandura outlined and how to motivate children and use behavior modification techniques in order to empathize and identify emotional problems in children.  There are four categories of learners for instance (Visual, Audio, Tactile and Kinaesthetic.)  Doesn't it sound likely that the learners who are visual (most of us are) don't get their attention distracted and can learn without other aides getting bored and labeled?  Like the saying goes "Those who think they know, don't know..."  Unfortunately the mental health system is too engaged with pharma and children pay the price.
I do hope that you will look at this apparent catastrophic event of having a state board investigation or discipline as an actual positive opportunity to pick your self up and start out on the most abundant and powerful course your life could take and seize the moment.  Don't let anyone rain on your parade!  You are unique and you have the power within to overcome any obstacle with God's grace.  Keep your inner energy or vibration high by constantly being grateful and having positive thoughts.

My very best wishes are with you always, Rita

You can keep making a difference in the world.

Today I read a post by Tony Robbins who is a renowned coach which said that it's important to let the world know you are alive and active in it!  Think about what that means to you as you face a challenge with the Board of Nursing.  You can keep your focus on the issue and how to navigate through the legal system and how to maintain a living otherwise you will be like a possum and wait until it's over and the result may not be what you want.

That is why I teach nurses to become proactive with the process.  The place to start is way before any investigation is launched by doing things to keep yourself protected legally and financially.  This means getting a prepaid insurance plan so that you will have resources to get an Attorney who is specialized in license law to defend your license.  Do the research ahead of time and it may come in handy for a friend when they are frantically looking for an Attorney.  Keep a business card with you at all times and if you are approached directly by an investigator from the BON you will simply present the card and tell the person that they can contact your Attorney and he/she will set up an appointment.  Then call your Attorney and keep your cell phone with you as you will need to keep in close touch with your Attorney about any appointments and documentation that your will be required to present.
Meet with your insurance representative and find out about a short term insurance plan that would provide income for a period of a year or more so that you can have the extra financial security of knowing that you can continue to provide for your family.  Keep all these documents in a file and be sure that your payments are kept up to date.  Some short term insurance companies will role over into a Life Insurance Policy at the date it matures.  Check on these things so that you are always keeping the money you have put into the policy.
Business is a good thing and there is nothing to loose by becoming an entrepreneur and in your spare time you can do what you most like to do and earn extra income.  The extra income may be a source of income for you in the event that you are unable to work under your license.  Although some nurses work in areas such as coaching and writing and use their nursing credentials I recommend not to do this because what you make yourself vulnerable to having an issue attached to your license that can expand into your business.  Keep license and business separate entities and make sure that in your bio you do not make reference to your nursing background so that people do not assume that you are providing a nursing service.
Be aware that there are laws involving a business license and it's best to consult with an attorney to set up your business with the state and register it properly.  There are several sites like www.wix.com where you can develop your own website and blog.  There are no costs unless you wish to upgrade.  Start social networking with Twitter.com, Facebook.com and LinkedIn.com and develop a following as a marketing strategy. 
Be clear about what your vision is and write this down.  In your mission statement write what it is that you wish to do/influence through your work.  Let your friends know what you are doing and begin to network in all situations.  Join local and national networking groups and attend meetings and seminars to get referrals and to gain knowledge about starting and building a business from experts who present.
It might sound like a lot to do but if you have a plan A and a plan B as they say you are prepared to meet the unexpected.  Your confidence will build as you learn about building a business.  Many of the network marketing companies have all the coaching and leaflets to sell products available to your at a minimum fee.  Keep accurate records of all your expenses and use the information when you file your tax returns.  If you have a tax accountant you might find out about how often to file and what items are tax deductible that you will need to provide your business service.  This may include office equipment and technology such as computers and iPhone.  Make sure that you keep receipts and warranties.
Enjoy your life and the freedom you have to create more abundance as you add this extra layer of security.  Attitude is everything and when you start receiving checks into your account from customers you will feel motivated to do more to increase your earnings.  Check with your credit union about accounts and interest for a personal as well as business account.  They generally have good rates and have the reputation of being ethical in the current "banksters" environment.
The convenience of using an iPhone is that you can keep up to date with your business and respond to clients immediately.  Set up meetings and network generally.  Once you start to learn the technology you can expand by using different gadgets such as hashtags.  Mine for "nurses undergoing state board discipline" is #NUSBD so that people can search for information and links on twitter.  I also noted that there are twitter forums where everyone who is interested in a topic for nursing undergoing state board discipline can join.
Oprah was quoted that Spirituality is the basis for all our work and success.  I believe this to be true and it is important that you find the right path for you.  For myself I meditate, follow a vegetarian diet, abstain from alcohol and any other chemicals.  Live a good ethical life and find those who are on the path to share and support the way of life that is one that leads to liberation.  Maslow used the term self actualization which is the same thing.  Our life is short and the time we need to devote to our practices and relationship with God is the first and utmost important priority.  Don't let this opportunity to go deeper and learn to tap into the love and peace inside that is not only comforting and uplifting but when all other areas of life can fall apart we can stay steady within.  That is somewhere inside where no one else but God can enter and you can be in a state of bliss and joy or attach to outer circumstances and feel the pain.  It's about attitude and thinking and that creates a level of feeling that is either positive or negative.
Willie Nelson is always calm and positive and I read a quote by him that said "If you learn to think positive thoughts you will get positive results in your life."  It is as simple as that.  Keep a daily record and jot down your thoughts and learn to transcend even the most difficult and trying times by remaining positive in your outlook.  Oprah says that the future looks so bright that she has to wear sun glasses.  Be that way yourself.
Contact your State Representative and report any issues and how your are being related to and ask that he/she contact Rep. Tony Shipley (R-TN) and duplicate the two laws he wrote for nurses in each state.  All will change for the better as more politicians take note and become involved.  Like other things unless they hear from us they do not know there is an issue that needs to be addressed such as Rep. Tony Shipley found out when he had to correct the State Board of Nursing for "blatantly breaking state laws."  They are not above the law and Representatives know the law.
Please feel free to comment or contact me.  Keep in prayer and know that you can get through any difficulty with God's Grace.

Success is now!

Many people rush toward the goal of achieving success and miss what is expressed by the saying "Stop and smell the roses."  Success is often eluded to as something that is a little beyond our reach and "waiting for us around the corner."  Being in the present moment will draw you attention to what is at hand.  It is the little things that make the big things that create the big picture - beautiful landscape r cozy house.  Really make it anything that you want but don't make yourself limited by your mind's ideas.  You mind may be inclined to have a room with a low ceiling that doesn't allow you to grow tall.  Make that room a huge area with an open glass ceiling to see the sky above.

Always start with clearing what is inside you.   Ask yourself what is creating a negative vibration that is repelling the success that you are working to materialize?  It could come from sources such as resentment, anger or greed.  Whatever it is you are the only one who can identify it and uproot it from your psyche.  You may need to start with counseling depending on where you are.  Always meditate because meditation is a means of connecting with the Universal Power that brings issues to the surface, without having to mentally examine the root causes.  I would advise you not to take medication if they are offered but to stay with the feelings that arise and let them pass through you.  Only if you are ever at a point of having thoughts of suicide or self harm do I advise that route.  And if you take medication before you learn to clear thought the process of meditation, thus increasing your brains ability to function at a higher frequency its obviously okay because it won't be permanent as you gain more traction on the spiritual path.  As you learn to associate the feeling with its root cause you will find that it will loose its grip or power over you.  Pretty soon you will anticipate when you will switch back into some negative association in response to an external event and be able to escape the whole process with a smile and perhaps a laugh at what once caused you anguish and despair.

Don't spend an enormous amount focusing on the negative but keep your hope on the future that lies before you.  Know that by staying in the present moment you will accomplish your objectives that will lead toward your goals.  If you begin to worry that the future will somehow not provide the positive outcomes that you plan on look at why that question is coming up for you.  Is it because of some tangible force or shift in circumstances outside your control.  For example the stock market might not be returning profits for the type of industry that your company represents.  There is no harm in pausing and gathering facts.  Hire a consultant if you need to who will lend a second opinion.  Always read the news and stay abreast of public policy as this affects us all and especially small businesses.  Become politically active and contact your Representatives and Senators whenever you have a concern about policy that can affect your business adversely.  Join organizations that have similar customers, goods or services who can help through being a resource.  Learn how to use your intuition and if you gut feeling is not to do something don't do it until it feels right.

What others say about you personally and as a business owner will impact your success.  Whenever you are in public always remember to be on stage and not to let your tongue get away from you.  There is a term that people in the hospitality business learn - on stage and off stage behaviors.  Until you are in a safe spot or with trusted friends be sure to keep your conversations in safe proximity. You want to be able to project an image that says you are trustworthy and are bound to your principles and virtues.  If you say a kind word to someone that person will always think of you with compassion.  Give to others as you would want them to give to you, as Jesus taught.  When you want to leave an impression in the world make it a good one.  It is much harder to try to salvage the damage that can be caused by a thoughtless rebuke of someone whom you considered insignificant.  You never know how much unofficial power and influence a person holds.  Take for instance a twitter follower.  A person may contact you directly and you may be someone with power and importance and drop that follower for their direct approach.  Who is the looser here?  That person who might not be a political player themselves can have thousands of followers and be a useful support to your business or campaign.  See things in perspective.  Nobody is to small to fail in God's eyes.

Marketing is a key component to success and it takes time to develop relationships.  Don't push to hard to recruit new customers.  Trust that when you put out the best product or service people are going to be able to find you.  Nothing is quite as fast as wild fires and word of mouth.  I read a book a few years ago on the  Grapevine as a marketing strategy that is used by companies who employ people to go out into the public and speak well of their products.  Most of us know who important it is to get a referral when we are looking for a lawyer or dentist for instance.  It puts our minds at ease if someone has a relationship with the person whom we need to obtain goods or services from.  Social network sites have allowed a forum in which we can get to know people over time.  Really get to know your client's well.  Chat with them on line and find out about their lives.  Coach, Tommy Spaulinding coined the term "Return on Relationship."  Just like a farmer who plants the seeds that will grow in response to environmental conditions, you are creating your wealth seeds through relationships.  Each interaction and each helpful gesture that you plant will grow.  Whoever you have influenced positively will look to your company for information or results when the need arises.  Make sure that you have done the ground work with your relationships and enjoy the financial rewards of providing services and goods at the best standards possible.

Your personal life plays a role in your success.  You may be motivated to meet your family's developmental milestones such as buying a home, providing vacations and sendidng kids to college.  Raising children is probably the heaviest financial undertaking that we take.  During your years of raising a family make sure that you are spending time with them.  Make your motto "I like my family better than money."  I watched a television program about Donald Trump and while his blended family members could report that he was a good provider there wasn't any real meaning to their relationship beyond that.  You will have to ask yourself whether you can get up earlier and attend breakfast meetings to accommodate leaving the office to see your kid play in little league.  Prioritize with your family as a focal point.  Spend time with your children each day.  Even for the financailly well off their children are at risk of being deprived of the love and security that can only be learned through contact with parents as role models.  Hire a nanny to spend time with your kids while you and your spouse spend some time together on trips.  Make it a fun time for your kids by planning some local trips with their nanny in your absence.  When your home life is in harmony with your business or professional life you will facilitate and magnify abundance in your life.  Use the model of the four goals of life to evaluate and contemplate how harmonious the areas are: wealth, health, knowledge and liberation (or self-actualization.)

I recommend that you spend a recommended amount of time exercising daily.  I promote yoga because it keeps the body subtle and doesn't put stress on joints.  Whatever you choose is going to work for you because your body needs to be maintained just like the engine of a Porche.  Yoga poses unite your body with the intention that the pose was created.  Yoga poses often use animals and nature to illustrate our own body's needs.  For instance I like the mountain pose because it helps me stand firm in my life and feel grounded.  Find a yoga studio or class near you and committ to a series of physical and inner transformations.  Someone whom I have taken classes from in the past when I visited my Meditation teacher is John Friend.  Check his website for videos etc. to help you with this amazing practice.  Be mindful of what you expose your senses to by not indulging in things that are of a lower nature and I think that you will get my jest without my having to spell it out for you.  When you take in negative qualities through exposure to wrong use of body, hurts your spiritual development.  Don't think that you are free from the effects of the wrong that others participate in because your are viewing it only.  Not so! 

Keep regular hours for sleep and wake up early to meditate.  The early hours are auspicious as the earth is still and that makes it easier to go within.  Learn to use the breath to guide you into meditation.  Breath in deep and long and exhale completely.  Oxygen is essential for life and the more we can get to our cells the better our bodies will be.  Eat vegetarian foods.  Today I received an email claiming that it was a plot from the left to promote vegetarian foods.  I am conservative and don't have to know anything more than from my own experience of being vegetarian has made my intestines clean and body healthier.  I am against factory farming and the inhumane slaughter of animals.  Once you realize the sacredness in all life you will not want to harm other forms of life much less eat them.  Instead join animal rescue organizations and see how these farm animals relate to humans.  If you like your own dog or cat you will like how pigs and goats love you too!  Don't shun what is best for your own good because of your social conditioning.  Learn vegetarian recipes and enjoy eating in a way that promotes health and reverses illnesses such as coronary artery disease as Bill Clinton has recently shared.

Have gratitude for your many blessings that are showered on you throughout the day!  Be at peace and mind the words you use.  I will discuss more about the power of words tomorrow.  Feel free to contact me at lawrencerita511@gmail.com

Care.ly for those you serve!

All of us have to deal with the political climate that affects the economy and thus the job market.  Now more than ever it is important to have several steams of income.  If you have a job keep it and try to save money.  With all your spare time and with total commitment develop a business plan.  That plan will include your business mission, goals and measurable outcomes that will help you keep track on your progress.  Marketing is the most important means of promoting your business so you need to get linked with people who can mentor you. 

I recommend that you start a Face-book fan page which allows you to promote your business but doesn't restrict the number of contacts you can recruit to join your page.  Your professional image is what will attract people to you.  You will gain trust through consistent professional presentations via video and blog articles.  When people join your group be sure to send them a note to welcome them to the group and let them know that you welcome their comments and suggestions.  Keep a conversation topic going.  Write a blog article each day and post it to your site(s.)  Follow up with people and ask them to give you feedback.  If you are starting a new service you may offer basic services for free.  For instance I am a Professional Life Coach and can provide an initial complimentary consultation.  That would be enough to help a person get focused on what it is that they want to do and identify goals and set dates to achieve those goals.  The role of a Life Coach doesn't end there because in my role I am totally behind the person who uses my service.  I link with them through prayer and constantly uphold them in my thoughts.  I do research for clients and help develop daily plans that bring about positive results.  I also coach people to learn and practice meditation daily; journal and do the self- enquiry that is necessary for spiritual development.

Prepare for your destiny by clearing emotional baggage.  According to the law of attraction we attract people and things to us according to our own vibrational frequency.  Have you heard the saying "I can feel his vibes?"  That is because you are tuned into that frequency yourself.  If you are at a higher vibrational level you will attract money and other measures of success that you may wish to attain.  Believe it and achieve it through inner work.  Suze Orman says that we have to be in complete harmony with all aspects of our being.  That means all realms of your life.  Your relationships, finances etc.  A coach can help you focus on the areas that are holding you back and bring you up to speed in a short period of time.  Isn't it time to get what you deserve?

Write a list of priorities to achieve the success that you need and deserve.  Put yourself first.  My Teacher said that we can have all the zeros in the world but unless there is a one first, they don't mean a thing!  Remember to take good care of yourself.  Your second priority most likely will be time.  It takes time to build a business and keep the customers coming.  Marketing is the key.  The key to marketing is relationships.  You will have to spend time reaching out to people on social networking sites and networking groups.  Contact thirty people each day and develop relationships and trust through openness and consistency.  Your you set for yourself intention will be the vital force to drive you to success.  Make an intention daily to greet each person with love and respect.  Welcoming is a high spiritual act that will warm your own heart and be felt by those whom you communicate with.  Center after meditation and check your own energy.  Are you able to develop a relationship based on caring?  If you give you will receive back.  That is a natural law.  It actually behooves you to be kind and generous toward others.
