Do you have an accountability partner for your business?

An accountability partner is exactly how it sounds, a partner to hold you accountable.  They are ideal to have if you are starting a business, feeling stuck or you want to take your business to the next level.

Sometimes we just need that extra push to move us forward.  I know I do.  Especially when it comes to working from home.  I can get caught up with housework, my son, dishes (not that I want too!) but other things seem to take over, and business can sometimes get pushed to the side.

About a month ago, I was approached by a good friend.  She asked me if I would like to be an accountability partner to her.  I have to back up a bit, that day....to be exact, a friend on Facebook was talking about how she has an accountability partner and it really was helping her.  I thought to myself, what a great idea.  I would love to have one!

So, I asked, felt very good about it and the Universe delivered, in the way of my friend.  When she asked me, I of course said, "YES!"

We talk Monday, Wednesday & Friday in the morning so that we can set our days up for success by sharing goals and progress.  We have been doing this for a month now and it really has been working wonderfully.

What I love about having my partner is that when I feel stuck on something, we can talk it out.  I may have been only looking at the situation one way and she has been able to help me by giving me some different view points.

The other thing that has really worked so well is that we know that we are going to be talking to each other so we KNOW that we need to do something!  Our mind is on business but we are having a lot of fun with this and things don't seem so "hard" anymore.

 

I highly suggest and recommend getting yourself an accountability partner to help you grow and build your successful business!

Are you breaking through?

This year has been an incredible year so far!  Not only for myself but for the whole world.  I think that in so many areas we (as human beings) have realized that we need to start doing things to move us to feeling better, living better and appreciating each other and our planet. 

It really has been about Breaking Through (the theme for the USANA International Convention - which is only 11 days away today!)

For myself, this has been a powerful year of self-discovery.  I am finally opening myself up to who I truly am and embracing that power.  I have to be quite honest with you, I allowed others to live my life, by making decisions based on what would make other people happy.  

This has been a big break through for me and in doing that I have realized that I have had a lot of beliefs holding me back from really becoming what I have wanted, who I truly am.  Through this uncovering of beliefs that no longer serve me, I have been able to change them into something that feels good, that is me, that is what I believe now!  In doing that, I have unlocked many doors of possibility to myself.

I want to ask you, "Are you breaking through?"  If you are, I want to congratulate you!  Whoohoo!  I would love to hear about it too.  

If your not, maybe your reading this because you are looking for your break through.  If you are looking, you don't have to look very far because it is inside of you.  You are the break through!  You are the only person that can hold you back from this by keeping you in a place of lack, worry, frustration, anger, whatever place that is for you.  

OR

You can choose to break through to your true potential, living the life that you know that you want, doing the things that excite you and bring you joy.  It's out there....waiting for you!  

All you have to do is make the decision today, draw the line in the sand, that Today is the Day for your break through and open your heart to yourself.  

Ask yourself, "What is it that is holding me back from doing what I truly want to do?"  

When you can on cover that ask "WHY".  

Really get to the heart of the challenge.  Then you will need to make a change.  Once you can make that change I am certain you will be making your break through.  

Please share by writing a comment below!  I would love to hear your break through so far this year and help CELEBRATE them with you.  I would also like to hear if your looking for it so we all can help support you!

How Important is it to FEEL Your Way To What You Want?

I have been reading the book Money, and the Law of Attraction by Esther & Jerry Hicks.  I got introduced to the Law of Attraction when the movie The Secret came out and not long after that, I was introduced to Abraham-Hicks from a friend.  I have to say, since then my world has completely changed.

In the back of the book they have a CD.  I decided to listen to it because I have the day to myself.  Wednesday is the day where my son goes over to his grandma's house so that I have a full day to work.  I am on conference calls, planning, implementing and allowing business to happen.

I do have to say that I love Wednesdays!

Anyways, I was reminded from the CD that the most important thing you can do to move you into the direction you want to go is to be take a look at how you are FEELING in the moment.   

When you are excited and having fun, you are in alignment with what you want.  Let's look at it in your situation.

What is it that you really want?  OK.  How are you feeling about it?  Does that thought of it make you feel excited and happy?  If so, you are moving towards it and everything that needs to fall into place for you to reach it is lining up.

What if you have this pit in your stomach and you feel uncomfortable?  Maybe you are feeling frustrated or even worried about what it is that you want.

When you are having those feelings that don't feel good to you then you can be sure that you aren't not aligning up with what you want.

I used to think that I needed to do whatever it was possible to make things happen.  What did that bring me?  Frustration, worry and even a little anger because what I wanted, wasn't showing up, no matter how hard I worked for it.  

It wasn't until I let go of the "always trying to do whatever it was possible to make things happen" syndrome that I grew up with, that I started to feel better.  Once I started to feel better, I noticed things would start to fall into place.  People would show up that would help me, conversations would happen that gave me the guidance I needed to move into the right direction.

I have to say that it took me a while to understand this and I am still learning!  Sometimes I will find myself pushing against what I want only to realize that I need to back off and FEEL better about it!  

Once you can do that, you are opening yourself up for greatness to occur!

Today, take the time to acknowledge how your are FEELING!  Don't you want to feel happy and enjoy life?  Well you should!  So what are you waiting for!  Start NOW to feel a little bit better!
