Are you frustrated with people calling you about multi-level

marketing businesses [MLM's]?

Are you worried about how you’re going to pay the next bill?

Are you frustrated that you haven’t been able to find a job yet?

You may even be tired of some of the prosperity teachings

If any of the questions above resonate with you, you are not alone. I had the same frustrations in the past.

And I hear from countless people who share your frustration.

In fact, I have heard it so much in the last few months that I could not refrain from doing something any longer.

In my business, I use biblical principals to teach, guide and encourage people to live their everyday lives in a practical and powerful manner. That said I decided to do a teleseminar to support you and help you get some cash now!

This is not a get rich quick scheme!

It is not a multi-level marketing business that I’m sharing!

This is about taking what youalready have and turning it into c.ash with good, honest work, using biblical principals.

Many Christians and non-Christians are looking for a supplement, increase or addition to their c.ash flow.  This Tuesday I’m going to provide you with an answer.  I’m going to share how God showed me how to bring in $1000+

using what I already had in my house with the gifts that He had already given me.

You can to!

Your income increase is right under your nose and you just need someone to give you a nudge or bring it to your attention.  Just like God brought it to my attention through II Kings 4:1-7 and my business coach!

If you are ready to get some c.ash now using the gifts God has given you or items that are in your home, just register for the program in the opt-in form at the bottom of the page.

[If you are already a member of Beyond Your Limits teleseminar program, you will still have to pre-register for this special program. Fill out the green floating OPT-IN form above.  If you already deleted, just go to another page and come back and it will pop up again for you]

Too many times I find that people are not willing to step out of their comfort zone and do good honest work, with what God has already given them. I hope that is not you.

I’ve experienced the same money challenges in my life so I don’t want you to feel like you are alone, or as if I have no idea what you are experiencing right now–I do!

Tuesday evening, May 31st 8:30pm EST, I am going to share with you what the Holy Spirit illuminated to me in II Kings 4:1-7 to prepare me for the powerful steps that my business coach shared with me the next day  [Yes, I believe in coaching so much that I have coaches also! ].

I was in need of acquiring over $1000 within a week in addition to my regular business income.  I needed it fast.  I casually mentioned this to my business coach and he casually said “OK! No problem.  This is what you are going to do.”

After reading II Kings 4:1-7, then listening to and implementing the steps my coach gave me, I acquired the $1000+ in not a week, but 3 1/2 days. I was flawed at the same time that I was excited and because I have a teachers spirit, I always want to share and teach what I have learned with whomever is willing and ready to listen and learn.

So here’s what I’m going to share with you Tuesday evening:

• The one thing that I needed to do that I had been having a problem with all these years, that made a big difference in the c.ash flow.
• Why it’s important to use your gifts and talents and not that of someone elses.
• How to create the list that you will work from and the mindset & biblical principal you will have to adopt to work with that list.
• 3 areas in your home or life that can support you in bringing increase–its right under your nose!
• How to write your script and the importance of a script–this is about being authentic – building your confidence not being deceptive, but open and honest.
• What I had to do to create momentum and keep me going —especially towards the end.

I know you will see results, if you follow the steps I share with you Tuesday night.

You may be saying…

“I don’t have time”

“What is this all about?”

“I don’t have the energy right now”

“I need a miracle”

“It probably won’t work for me!”

If you are saying any of these things, then you can not afford to miss this  teleseminar.  My teleseminars are free so it won’t cost you anything to just

listen and take notes.  Your investment will just translate into time, energy and

a positive mindset.

Join me and many others Tuesday, May 31st at 8:30pm EST for

“How to Increase Your Income Now with What God Already Gave You – Your Gifts, Skills or Items in Your Home”

Remember when you were a child and you were reprimanded for doing something wrong?  You’re parents or guardian probably said something like this, “Don’t do that again!”.  However, telling you not to do it is not telling you HOW not to do it.  But as we grew, we painfully discovered, if we touched that stove again we would get hurt.  Through our little challenges, we learned to not do it again! ‘  [Of course there were a few things that we just didn’t want to LET GO of! -- BUT maybe I'll talk about letting go in my next blog ]

Fast forward to adult hood.  You are in the 1st month of the year 2011 and some of you have New Years resolutions.  Others don’t.  Here is a message for you.  Don’t do that again!

Don’t make another New Years resolution that you are going to break.

Don’t keep passing up promotions that you want in your heart, but don’t feel you qualify for on paper.

Don’t eat another piece of chocolate cake and then beat yourself up after weighing yourself on the scale.

Don’t remain in that debilitating, unhealthy relationship. Don’t continue to be unreliable and then blame everyone else.

Just don’t!

But I’m not going to just leave you there.

This is a New Year, so we need to use my N.E.W. method to achieving success.

Navigate Empowerment with Wisdom

NAVIGATE THROUGH YOUR CHALLENGES “And I will lead the blind by a way they do not now, In paths they do not know I will guide them.”  Isaiah 42: 16a NASB

Like the captain of a ship who has to navigate through rough seas, so we have to navigate through the rough waters of our own lives. The best sea captains are those who have had to navigate through treacherous seas.  If you were going on a six month expedition on a boat, who would you want to be the captain?  A person that had been a captain for 10 years, but never experienced rough seas only calm waters, or a person who had 5 years experience, but had experienced 10 different storms that he had successfully navigated through.  The latter I’m sure.

See your challenges (rough waters of life) as a way for you to learn how to navigate through challenges so that you will know how to handle the next situation better.  Your challenges are designed to help you to develop your own HOW TO manual.  Don’t just allow the waters of life to beat you up, but learn from your challenges and learn HOW TO rise above that challenge or through it the next time.  In other words, navigation is a choice.  Choose the path that you are going to take.

And remember to SHARE your navigation tactics with others.

BE EMPOWERED! “And for this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me.”  Colossians 1:29 NASB.

When you are empowered it gives you the drive you need to reach beyond your limits and press to success. When you are empowered, it is encouraging to your spirit and when your spirit is encouraged, it is more likely to select more positive, wise thoughts that will then drive you to more positive, wise actions.

Read books, listen to CD’s or watch positive, empowering programs or information.  Feed your spirit with positive things this year.  Learn how to empower yourself instead of waiting for others to empower you.

And remember, your ultimate empowerment comes from the Almighty Himself!

USE WISDOM “Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding!  Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.”  Proverbs 4:5 NASB

When you use wisdom, you may have some mental or emotional frustration (or pain) up front, but you will reap a magnitude of benefits later.  It’s saves you from problems down the road.

Wisdom tells you to be silent when you want to speak.  But then later, you discover your silence reaped you great rewards. (I’ll share one of my experiences later).

Wisdom tells you to be patient when you want to rush on. Wisdom tells you to partner when you want to do things alone.

Three years ago, I had a meeting with a potential client to provide training for her staff.  I had done my homework on sales and how to solicit new business.  During our meeting, the individual asked me the fee for a half-day seminar.  I shared the fee.  The prospect was quiet.  The silence made me uncomfortable and so I decided that I should justify the fee and maybe even throw in another workshop for good measure (I really needed the money and didn’t want to lose this client).  Just as I was about to open my mouth, to justify or rectify, I remembered the article I read on sales.  It said something like this. Silence is golden.  Whoever speaks first win!.  Enjoy the silence and allow the prospect to think about what you have said.  Let them speak first. I immediately closed my mouth and though I was uncomfortable, I decided to choose wisdom this time.  My prospect spoke first and decided to do a full day seminar with me instead of just one or two workshops!!

Imagine that.  I doubled my contract with them.  If I had spoken, I would have had half of what I ended up with, and at a lesser value.

Wisdom maybe painful at first, but trust me, you reap the benefits later.

So in this New Year, decide that you are going to do something N.E.W!

Don’t make the same mistakes or the same habits.

Learn through your challenges.

Apply what you have learned through your challenges and grow.

Navigate Empowerment with Wisdom.  It is another way to say choose empowerment through wisdom.  If you choose wisdom it will empower you to make it through your challenges.  So Navigate Empowerment with Wisdom and have a very Happy N.E.W. Year!

Are You Listening to Your Life?

It’s a funny thing about God, He gives us all the bells and whistles that we need to make it through. Are you so busy that you are not paying attention to your own life? Let’s take a closer look at this…

The Nudge When was the last time you felt that inner nudge? When we don’t listen to that inner nudge we tend to regret the decisions that were made. Here’s an example. A woman got up to go for a drink in the middle of the night and she felt that inner nudge. She felt a great need to take her baby out of the crib. She took a baby out of the crib and seconds later there was an earthquake. Where the baby’s crib once stood was now a pile of debris from the roof. She felt and paid attention to the inner nudge. The Holy Spirit often nudges me to do things or not to do things. When I listen I am grateful. When I don’t, I often regret it now or later.

Repeating Circumstances Are you experiencing patterns in your relationships or career? We often inadvertently get ourselves into patterns that we may or may not want to be in. Choosing the same type of people, experiencing the same situations in our career, are things that should trigger us to stop and take a look. If patterns have been reoccurring in your life or over the last few months, is it possible that you are creating or attracting these situations. Is it possible that you need to learn something from these situations to help you get out of your comfort zone?

The Heart Prick Have you ever been in a conversation when somebody says something that pricks your heart or makes your heart jump? Or some people say it’s as if a light bulb went off. I call that the prick of your heart. When this happens it probably means that you have to pay attention to what is being said and find out what it means to you.

All three of these life signals are just ways set up by God to help guide us or to provide us with the help or information that we need to make a decision in a certain area of our life. These signals could come close together or months apart. Or some people only get one signal and get the message.

Whether you are a corporate executive, a house wife, an entrepreneur or a student, learning to listen to your life can help guide you to make better decisions in life.

There are many fads and fashions out there. And let’s not talk about the rapid speed that new gadgets are being released. IPOD, iphone…can anyone keep up? By the way, I don’t have either. I don’t feel behind the times or left out. Why? Because I am very comfortable with who I am and where I am financially, etc. At some point I’ll get one, but right now I’m OK not having one. Having an ipod or iphone does not mean that you are not comfortable with yourself, so lets make sure that is clear. However, there are so many people that are trying to satisfy inner desires or define themselves with things. However, the joy lasts for a short time.

Recently the toy industry has had to recall countless toys from the toy store shelves due to lead paint. Sixty Minutes had what I thought was a great commentary a few months ago that went something like this, How many children play with the toys endlessly anyway? When I thought about it, I realized that was true. When my niece and nephew were small, they were so excited when they received new toys. They would run off and start to play with these toys. Then give them a month or sometimes a week and the novelty wore off. Before you knew it they had a very large (no extremely large) box of toys that they no longer played with. Not because they had out grown them intellectually, but because they had lost the interest. It was no longer satisfying them. However, they always found an interest in dragging my dining room chairs in the middle of my great room, maybe an old box and a blanket and creating a pretend house. That never lost its interest and it helped them to exercise their creative juices. (And yes, auntie was often solicited to be one of the members of the cast!)

I want you to ask yourself a question. Are you comfortable with who you are? Too many adults are still not comfortable or sure who they are? And if you don’t know who you are, then you can’t show up as the authentic “you” wherever you go. Can the real Jane please stand up?!

Have you ever seen the movie, Runaway Bride with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere? Julia Roberts plays a woman who on the outside is confident and loving life but on the inside is unsure of who she is. She comes to that realization when a reporter (Richard Gere) asks her what type of eggs she likes. She is unable to answer that question because for each fiancé that she had (I believe it was four) she would adapt to what they liked so they would like her; only to be afraid at the altar and run (thus the title). She realized she had no clue as to what type of eggs she liked. She had lost herself in trying to be like someone else.

What about you? There may be one area in your life that you are sure and comfortable. You know the career that you are pursuing is your passion, but you have never thought about what style of clothes or hair you really like. You have somehow adapted to what your parents said, or corporate America said or society is saying at that time. Or maybe you are comfortable with your fashion statement, but are realizing that the career that you are pursuing is not your passion and you are unsure what your purpose is.

Don’t despair. Let’s look at 3 areas (there are more) that you should consider to find out who you are.

1. Be honest with yourself. In my book, Knuggets of Knowledge to Get Unstuck, Knugget #7 is Be Honest with Yourself. I discuss how we often do a good job of excusing our weaknesses or negative character. I go on to say that we should not justify but rectify. Be honest with yourself and God. Go in the bathroom, stand in front of the mirror and tell yourself the areas that you need improvement. That does not make you a bad or lost person. What it does is brings things to the surface so that you know what needs to be worked on. We all have areas that we need to work on. That is life. That is growth. You and God can work them out.

2. Discover your passion. In discovering my passion, it helped me to find my purpose and also find myself. I discovered that I love encouraging others. I discovered that I am free spirited, creative and that I am not conservative. I discovered that I have a zest for life and that I am an extrovert. In other words, I get energized around people. This helps because I am a speaker. See how everything ties in together? In my book, in the section Getting Unstuck; Making It Personal, at the end of Knugget #8: Discover your purpose. Know your gifts, I ask some key questions. For example, ‘If you were told you were going to receive one million dollars each year for the rest of your life, what would you do with that money?’ Another question, ‘what games did you play as a child?’ How about, ‘List something people tell you that you are good at doing or that comes naturally to you.’ These are a few questions or commands that get you thinking about who you really are.

3. Ask the Designer. One day I was having problems with a software program that I was using. My technical friends couldn’t help me. I asked around but no one was able to help. I tried figuring it out also (that’s the analytical side of me), but to no avail. So I eventually decided to contact the software design company. After sometime, they were able to assist me with the troubleshooting to figure out the problem.

Your creator knows who you are. He is the one that designed you. So if you are stumped, ask the designer. Over time, and step by step, you’ll start to see, hear and discover things about yourself. Look at it as a fun discovery project.

Enjoy evolving and discovering. Age doesn’t matter. You’ll be surprised how many senior citizens have come to me saying that they are lost and not sure who they are or what they should be doing next. Try the three things above for starters and enjoy what you discover.

Ask Yourself the right Question!

If you don’t ask yourself the right questions then how can you consciously get the answer? Many of us are asking questions but the questions are not leading us to where we need to go. Sometimes we ask a good question but not at the right time or in the right order. Let me explain what I mean.

Imagine you are a business woman who is considered to be successful in many peoples eyes, yet you are feeling unfulfilled. You feel as if you are living someone else’s life. When you started on your career path you knew you were multi-talented and you wanted to be successful. However, you didn’t ask yourself the right question, so every so often, like a weed the results of the unanswered question show up in your life over and over again– in different areas of your life. You jump from job to job, never quite climbing as far as you desire. Or maybe you are a woman who is in a relationship that is unhealthy, yet you continue to be in this relationship.

Both women probably both failed to ask the important question. “What don’t I want?” This question helps you to bring your fears to the surface.  We often acknowledge where we want to go. We create goals and discuss them, but we don’t often talk about what we don’t want. Our fears are always lurking behind the scene, or below the surface. If we don’t acknowledge our fears, then they will continue to show up in our lives, in different ways. You have to give your fears to God. Tell Him about them. Then trust Him to guide you through it. Our fears will anchor us to where they showed up. Many remain stuck there for years and years.

You don’t have to stay stuck. Sit down and ask yourself the right questions. Pray and ask for guidance. Be open and honest with yourself. Don’t blame and don’t make excuses. Get quiet and listen for the answers to your questions. Pay attention to people and things around you to listen for your answer. Listen for that still small voice.

Be open to receive and act on what you here. If you have to let go of a mindset, then let go. If you need to embrace something new, then embrace it. Be willing to receive the answer and then act on the answer.

As a life coach, I find join in supporting others to find the right questions, then answer your questions so you can move forward in your life.

Don’t delay anymore. Get support from your friends or a life coach to answer those questions and get unstuck.
