Your Abundant Life

I think it is important to know that sometimes fear is ok and we need to don't know exactly how it will work out. And at times it is messy, confusing but keep moving forward. I find that when I have a big next step just take it one day every day. As we keep moving forward we find it does get more clear and as we continue the road, we find it eventually does give us the great next thing that we are to do and it is so good that we stuck to it. Yes, at times you and I may find it will be a few weeks of chaos until we get to the right direction and that is ok. We will work it out and it will be the very next thing that we will be working for. And at other times, there is no fear and we just go right to the next thing and enjoy it immediately.

Here are some of the things that you should really check out to be sure that when you are going to a networking event, or a coffee with someone or just working at Uni or an organisation and find someone who could really help.  Look at the topics and work out which ones you will use for each one. What am I seeking? What do I want people to think or know about me? Who do I need to know to achieve this? Who do I need to add to my network? Who do I currently know to help progress? What are my goals and what will I walk away with? Small talk-need to do that first often and then know when to start the other stuff How will you follow up? *there is a sentence that did not get finished at the end but it was just saying it is the end.

Are you going to be one who just keeps going with what you have even though you know there is so much more that you can do? Going to the edge can be scary, but it also is what leads us to the next step. Staying comfortable is what a lot of people do. Are you going to do that or will you start looking at the edge and what that means for you? 1 Just start anywhere and small is fine. 2 Find joy first. That is the first step to find what you really want. 3 Do you need to think about the groups you are in? Maybe there are some who are not as lining up with you now because they keep telling you to just stay where you are.

Kristie Ord is someone who is just so authentic and ongoing successful young woman entrepreneur. Her journey is an amazing one that has gone from strength to strength while dealing with challenges along the way to make sure that she is continued on her path to purposeful journey that she is on. It was so great to interview her. I met her a few years ago when she was one of the amazing speakers and coordinators in the raw food revolution and it is so great to see how far she's progressed and how she embraces the next steps and moves beyond what she had done in the past to get to the next purpose for her life.     

Miriam Clappis runs a very successful accounting business and her story is one that is a great example of a journey that begins with working on the dining room table doing the basic accounting for friends and family. She has degrees in Accounting, Law and many others so she is well qualified and still started at the very beginning to understand the process from the ground up. Miriam also has a family and is just as attentive to her family as she is her business. I think it is such a great example of how you can succeed as a Mum and still give lots of time, caring and love to your family. And your children also see that you can have a business as well as taking care of the family and housework.  She is a great mentor and manager for her team and has built a large team that are all on the same page as far as the positive culture, how to attend to clients and how to give them the best services possible. And clients are raving about the work of Miriam and her team which is no surprise!  

Vesna Cavic is a dynamic Personal Stylist who goes well beyond just getting your outfit right. Vesna first talks about how you feel about yourself. How you will build your own internal confidence. And then she will talk about what style do you want. I love that Vesna also talks about minimalism when buying clothes and trying to buy clothes that are created ethically giving people fair pay and fair work. Stop the slave labour. And also created a few pieces of clothing to wear instead of discarding things every few months which further fill the landfill. So many stylists would just try to get people to get more clothes and just talk about how will you look. Vesna goes well beyond that and helps you first with inner self confidence and also how we can keep the environment. She is about to publish her book that I previewed. It is a winner! She starts with confidence, mindset and loving tour body and then moves into great strategies for styling. I think everyone should read it and you'll love the insights from Vesna on the podcast and in her book.

Francesca Moi, known as the Meetup Queen has established a very successful business in a few short years. And she started from the very beginning as she moved to Australia from another country and knew no one. So this means anyone can do it and she shares the whole success formula with people in the events that she runs.  I think we all agree that when someone succeeds from the very beginning her events and workshops are ones that can really give us good solid advice because she is sharing how she turned her business into a great success.  Networking authentically, running your own networking events and know how best to approach the right people. Listen to her interview and then check out her Facebook link to find out where her events are happening and go to one of them. They are fun, high energy and lots of great information and inspiration! Don't miss them! https://www.facebook.com/themeetupqueen/  

Tanya is a brilliant person who does decluttering in a wholistic way. She walks through the house or the room before she negotiates with the client. I love that she pays attention first to the emotions, the things that are special to the client, even if for most of us we couldn't even imagine why you would keep that. This interview will give you some great insights into how she takes time to really understand the person. Why they want to keep something, what it means. And it may be that they keep the oldest piece of tin or jewellery etc because it has sentimental value. Or if they say 'Oh just get rid of everything', she will stop and ask more questions to find out what really can be discarded and what should be kept. Tanya is such an encouraging authentic person that enables people to immediately trust her and work together to find what is the best solution.

Liz Weepers has written a book that will help so many. The Immense Power of Purpose is one that has a balance of substance while it is also so accessible, easy to read and easy to start your own path to your real purpose. Liz has an extensive background in NLP, Reconnective Healing, counseling as well as a range of other modalities relating to consciousness and the energetic field.  I remember Elizabeth Gilbert saying as she wrote The Big Magic that you should write a book from the heart. Not some book that you think you are putting out there to help others but not having any personal connection or inspiration yourself. Liz's journey in writing the book was just was Elizabeth Gilbert described. She found it transforming herself and wrote directly from the heart. Many people are overlooking the power of their purpose and live in mediocrity. Liz's book will help you move out of that and into doing what you are called to do and what you love to do.    

Harish Gulati is about to publish a book linking spirituality with psychology with a great combination of evidence, energy, research and real life outcomes.  He has had extensive experience in coaching people around mindset especially in relation to business and the next step. So many people just live life in mediocrity because they are too fearful to take a step forward into the unknown to move into what they love to do. His insights in this interview are so helpful, 'real' and giving some first step ideas to help people really move into what they love doing.

  Shilpa has a very successful business helping business owners be clear on their 'why', their values and who their customers are. She has found that many are stuck in their problems and she is an experienced coach who challenges them to move out of that mode and into finding a solution. Shilpa also discusses that often as business owners grow their business, their client groups evolve and sometimes change, and it is important to recognise this. And as client focussed business owners it is easy to just 'give' and not feel like you have to receive any assistance because you are in control. And that can block the energy of abundance and keep you stuck. Every business owner from start up to well into business should listen to this inspiring interview.

Scotty Ze shares so authentically about his journey. There were some challenging times and he decided to take action and start the path to self love, abundance, and being around people who really inspire him to move to the next level. I love that he talks about abundance not just in a financial way---and for some there may not be financial abundance but there is so much more abundance in other dimensions. And he reminds us that for most of us it is two steps forward and one step back which calls us to surrender and be pulled forward. Scotty continues to be on an ever evolving journey which really inspires all of us to continue to grow and face through challenges in a way that pushes through.

Ready for change and STOP doing what you are doing and move to the next thing you feel resonates more with you? It can be a challenge when so many tell you 'Oh, why would you leave behind what you do so well?' or 'What else is holding you back? Got a 5 minute sound byte to share some of my experience. If you've got an idea or a nudge that keeps getting stronger, take the next steps toward it. And don't let others stop you and keep you 'safe'. Often they do that because that means then they can stay where they are and not feel threatened by the fact you are moving forward and they could do if they wanted to take the initiative.

Fernanda Saad started the Do What You Love Revolution and on this podcast she shares how to find what you love to do. How to get it into your life at least a little (she's got the 'let's get real factor' meaning you may have to still keep up your current responsibilities, but just get some of what you love in.

Anna is an amazing birth coach and has helped many women go through the birth experience in a beautiful way guiding them in the way that they want to experience it. Anna also has dozens of stories of things she has manifested through using the power of belief, visualising, and putting energy and emotions into those dreams. I remember meeting Anna for coffee one day and she pulled out five pieces of paper that had several phrases on each piece and she said 'I've attracted almost everything on these pieces of paper.'. I was so inspired,and excited. Anna shares many of these stories as she continues to live on that frequency that attracts what we desire that comes from our soul's purpose.
