grocery_shoppingI am a busy Love and Relationship Coach and a mom. And I hate going to the store and grocery shopping, especially because I prefer to feed my family mostly organic and healthy food. The cost of healthy and organic food has gone up in price considerable in the last year due to fuel prices going up.

So my goal is to avoid going to the grocery store, purchase healthy food and save money. My solution – Amazon grocery store. You can buy almost anything you would buy at a regular store that is not produce or needs refrigeration. Use the search function to find the items you buy for your family, including beauty products, supplements, protein bars, cookies, etc, etc.

You can save 10% to 50% off the price you would pay at a brick and mortar store and if you buy items on the subscribe and save program you will get an additional 15% off the price and get your groceries shipped free.

Seriously, what’s not to love? A few clicks of the mouse and your groceries arrive at your door cheaper then you would have bought them at the store. I don’t know about you, but that makes me happy.

luck1Colleen M. Seifert of University of Michigan in her study titled : “Opportunism in Memory: Preparing for Chance Encounters” says that visualizing what you want to happen and preparing your mind for it, increases your chances of being able to notice opportunities when they comes to you and act in a way that makes the best of these opportunities.

Her theory is not that we lack opportunities, but that without preparing our mind to seize them, we miss these opportunities, going about life as usual.

This coincides perfectly with law of attraction teachings that opportunities are all around us and when we put out mind to what we want and visualizing and believing it is possible for us, it will be attracted to us. I love it when science confirms metaphysics!

Mrs. Seifert’s study was highlighted in a CNN article today titled “How to get lucky in love — and other parts of life”.

Richard Wiseman, Ph.D from the UK is also quoted expensively in the article. He says “lucky people create, notice, and act upon the chance opportunities in their lives.” And what I love most, is that he says that people who focus on improving their luck succeed in doing so in a span of a month by increasing their luck by 40%.

In other words, if you want to create something or attract something into your life, focus on it and prepare for it by taking the time to visualize yourself getting or accomplishing your goal, you are likely to attract “it” and within a fairly short time.

But visualization is hard for many. It is hard to know exactly how to visualize properly, how to do what Mrs. Seifert calls “encoding into memory” effectively. Luckily here is an audio leaning program that will teach you exactly how to visualize properly in order to get the best results.  This audio program is one I have used extensively to learn about the law of attraction and how to use it and I can not recommend it highly enough.

And hey, CNN and leading physiologists say that how you get what you want is to visualizing it. It’s official, studied, documented and proven, so what are you waiting for? If you want a change in your life, go get this audio program on how to visualize and use the law of attraction, do what is says and in a short time you can have at least 40% of what you want – and that’s pretty great!

Toll Free Number for $2 a month!

I don’t know about you, but I like having a toll free number for my business – it adds a level of professionalism and service.

What I don’t like is paying per minute when potential clients use my toll free number and I don’t like the hefty monthly price tag that comes with the toll free number.

Check this VOIP company out . You pay $2 a month – $24 a year to have a toll free number and get 100 free minutes a month. Then you forward the number to wherever you would like – your skype account, your cell phone, office number, etc. Pretty awesome!

woman-on-email-listI currently have 20 thousand subscribers on my various email lists. When I started coaching and building my online business, I had no email list what so ever.

I am about to tell you how I build my email list from scratch in nine steps and how you can do what I did. This will take time and effort. It can not be done overnight. But it can be done, and without gimmicks, hype or over the top selling.

Nine steps to building a large email list from scratch:

Step 1: Create a website or a blog, or even a one page site, if you don’t yet have one.

You will want your own domain name rather than something with blogspot or worpress in the url. If you are going to successfully build an email list, you want people to trust you with their email address. Proprietary domain names inspire more trust. Get yourself a domain name here and register it for 2 years or more.

Now create a web page, website or a blog using the easiest way possible, which is this one.
Here are the reasons to use this service in particular:

  • You can build a blog, or a site, or both using the same service
  • Fairly small technological learning curve
  • Extensive help database
  • The service’s back end is being constantly updated, so your site/blog will always be leading edge without you doing any of the work to keep up with technology

You can be up and running with a website, blog or a page in just a few hours.

Step 2: Decide what you will offer people who get on your email list.

Will you offer them an email newsletter? Will you offer them a free report, an short email course? What ever it is, make it easy to create but of value to your future subscribes.

Here are some ideas:

  • Seven part mini-course educating people about your industry
  • Daily inspirational email
  • Weekly mini-newsletter or what’s happening update
  • Etc. [read more…]

25 Random Things About Me

Don't forget to subscribe to my Newsletter or RSS feed for blog updates!

My friends Iyabo Asani of Authentic Change Coach and Jodi Reichstad of the Publicity Studio both tagged me to write 25 random things about me. Thanks Iyabo and Jodi – I was a tag virgin before this, and  I like talking about me, so here I go. (stop looking at me like that. Don’t you like talking about YOU. I thought so.)

And for those whom I tagged, I would love to know more about you, which is why I tagged you. Here are the rules:

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, ideally, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged, including the person who tagged you. Only play if it’s fun for you and you want to.

25 Random things about me:

1. I am a techie, a geek or a technorati, which ever way you want to look at it. I love gadgets and techie tools on and off the web. I can talk to geek web developers and understand them. I can even read some java script and html and write a very little bit of my own. Me and my web developer have an agreement – he not only does things for me, but he teaches me what he is doing. Tech things give me a chocolate – like adrenaline high.

2. I am total health food nut. I eat only organic, no hormones, no additives, not artificial colors food and feed only that to my family. I love feeding my body really healthy, whole food. Unfortunately I do judge people a little bit for not eating that way and I am sorry about that.

3. I hate grocery shopping, so I mostly buy groceries on the web. I use Amazon grocery shopping and vitaminlife.com to buy most of the stuff I need. The shipping is often free and I get at least a dollar or two and often $5 per item cheaper than at the store. Gotta love that.

4. I can’t stop watching Desperate Housewives nor Gray’s Anatomy on TV. I have had many a stern talk with myself about watching the shows on the web to save time and avoid commercials, but alas to no avail, I don’t listen and can’t seem to wait.

5. I would love to get up at 4 am, but often am still up at 11 pm, which makes the 4 am idea unrealistic, since my body does best on 7 or more hours or sleep.

6. I have a lovely, wonderful, sweet little boy. He is my cuddle bug and playmate and I am grateful for him every day. He’s just gotten his first little girlfriend and she told him she loves him. He’s so cute, I just want to eat him up.

7. We – my husband and I – are working on our marriage. There were many issues that came with the birth of my son, and we are still dealing with some of them years later. The outcome is yet unknown.

8. The last time I wore pantyhose was years ago. I hate dressing up. My uniform is a T-shirt and jeans and I like it that way. On the other hand, I crave fancy, unique, funky shoes and have a few pairs for special occasions. I get exited about going to funky local shoe store the way I get exited about chocolate.

9. I’m an astrologer and I have been for over 15 years. I do not do predictive astrology, but do some kick booty personality, relationship and baby/kid astrology. This means I can’t tell you what the future holds, but I can tell you how to bring the best out in yourself and how to overcome what holds you back. I can also tell you how to do the same for your kid and for your relationship. If you are interested, learn more about astrology reading here.

10. The UPS keeps miss delivering my packages – many of which are groceries, electronics or books – to another person who lives in my town, at a similar address to mine. He finally called me recently and we had a good laugh. He said he told UPS that the packages were not his and they insisted they were. I think it’s hysterical. [read more…]

Mindmapping – How I Love Thee

Me before mind mapping: a thousand ideas flying through my head at the speed of light. Thoughts about relationships and dating and my website and my life and my son and eating and law of attraction and friendships and books I want to read and things I want to do and my heart’s desires and grocery list and things we need to buy and chores I absolutely need to do and products I need to create and vision for my business and ……

Are you tired and confused yet? I sure was and I was only able to manage a fraction of all this stuff. The most frustrating part was that some really great ideas would come and go, flying through my head and I could not effectively capture them. I tried keeping an idea file, a great tool that woks for some, but for me it was basically yet another list. Lists make me feel bored, overwhelmed and are generally ineffective with me. My typical reaction to a list is to read it, and then ignore it completely and go do something that is not on it. I know, sometimes I can be so mature.

About a year ago I was reading something about marketing online and being effective and saving time, and ran across the idea of mind mapping. [read more…]

Today I Woke up at 4:30 am!

Now to you maybe waking up at 4:30 am on Saturday morning is a nightmare, but to me it is heaven. It’s something I have been trying to do for over a year now, and finally today I did it.

Namely, I have been trying to wake up and get out of bed at 4:00 am daily for a year now and no matter what I have done, even with going to bed really early, I could not do it.

Why would I want to get up at 4 am? Everyone is still asleep and I can get some work done before the day officially starts, which means I have to do less work and can do more mom and housewife stuff when the world is awake, without feeling like I have to choose between being a business woman and a mom.
