She’ll share the secret to creating a healthy relationship with money, one free of fear and doubt that will help you confidently trust that you will always have enough.

Decide to change your focus. In fact some things you have already heard before. I believe it is important to hear the nuggets over and over again. Pay attention. When you are ready to commit to your goal those insights will take on a different meaning. All of a sudden you will wake up, have an “ah-ha” moment and “get it.”

The answers have been there all along, but you were unable to see them until you were ready to play a different game. As you connect to the reason driving you to be better than average, to strive for the top, turning your dream into a reality, your perspective changes. You adopt a “no-excuses” approach to success.

Things you were unwilling to do before all of a sudden you become willing to do. You become comfortable with being uncomfortable. And yes, you will be stretched further than you thought possible. What was once impossible becomes possible. In fact, the most complex problems have the simplest solutions.

Are you ready? The first action for you to take is discovering your “why”. Figure out why you are committed to building your business in a BIG way. Understand the driving force motivating you even when everyone else is telling you to quit.

Connecting with your reason for excellence is crucial. Without it you will eventually give up, sabotage or claim it was not meant to happen as you imagined.

Search for your meaning, your big “why”. Embrace it.

The reason for committing to your goal, turning a dream into a reality, is not external. Doing this because someone else has a vision for you, seeing your potential is not a good enough reason. It is too shallow. Success does not happen when you are doing it for someone else and not for yourself. External motivators are excellent to get you started on the journey, but eventually you will change course and fail.

Look within. Figure out what drives you. What is it you want so badly you are willing to do anything necessary to be a winner? Determine your purpose. Connecting with your compelling reason is powerful. The secret becomes revealed to you. This one factor keeps you going no matter what. It is as if you don’t have a choice but to do exactly what you are doing. What were once excuses disappear. Connecting with your innermost desire unleashes your potential.

Know your purpose. Your purpose, the reason you are committed to being a success, is a powerful resource. No one can take it away from you, unless you allow them to. Meaning, strength and motivation are gained. It is an unstoppable force. You become driven to move forward even when everyone else has given up. Nothing else keeps you going for the long run. It is life-changing.

Do you have your BIG vision, but gets lost in the details of what needs to be done today? The day to day responsibilities distract you to the point where you don’t feel like you accomplished anything during the day. When you get really honest with yourself fear is holding you back. Fear of success is powerful, cunning and creates resistance. Once the fear becomes revealed and the reframed, the resistance melts away. And it is easy. Ready to go with the flow?

Are you ready for everything you need to know about attracting business to you rather than chasing after it based on conscious principles?

Ethics, integrity, honesty, compassion, trust, intuition, and faith are only a handful of words used to describe conscious based businesses. Kathleen Gage, The Street Smarts Marketer, is the CEO and founder of Turning Point Inc. Since the inception of her business in the early 90’s, Kathleen has become recognized as one of the top Internet marketers in her field.

With millions of people living in the space of fear of what comes next in the economy there are others who know this is one of the greatest times in the history of business. They understand the connection between conscious principles and profitability.

Where do you end and they begin, exploring the boundaries you create.

Boundaries are vital. Think about the last time when you were having a great day and then someone else’s bad mood rubbed off on you. All of a sudden, a perfectly good day was ruined. Or how about the time when someone confided in you about something tragic and the news affected you for the remainder of the day, you were just unable to shake it off.

This is where boundaries are crucial. When other people are having a tough time, it does not mean you have to end up having a tough time as well. You can care about people without having them drain your energy. With practice you can learn to be a support for someone, but not feel exhausted once the conversation is over. Maintaining boundaries drastically reduces the drama.

Do you say what you mean?

When you are talking with a client, associate or friend are you completely honest with them? Typically people favor one of three approaches. Either they are passive, aggressive or assertive.

Passive people are extremely agreeable with everyone else. She is likely to allow her needs to be pushed aside, even if something is important to her. Because she keeps it all inside, she tends to have headaches, stomachaches or some other stress related ailment.

Aggressive people are the extreme opposite. Because of her strong personality, people are intimidated by her. Her big personality, along with expressing what is on her mind without a filter, actually works against her. Too often she says things which she regrets later.

The goal is to be assertive. Say what is on your mind in a tactful, direct manner. Take ownership of your values, feelings and ideas. Discover ways to create solutions by joining forces with people. You don’t need to minimize your thoughts or repel people by responding before thinking.

Do you ever agree to disagree? How do you deal with conflict?

Do you have the skills to say what is on your mind with integrity or do you tend to skirt around issues? People are afraid of conflict, viewing it as something negative. They end up agreeing with associates or family members although they might really disagree with the choice. Learning to respond by agreeing appears safer than disagreeing.

But it does not have to be that way. Consider taking on the role of a mediator. The goal is to find common ground and win-win solutions. Of course you might have to give up something, or alter your plans, but so does the other person. The idea is to have both sides feel like they were heard, reaching an amenable solution while fostering respect and compassionate communication.

As you begin to take the steps to own your emotions, communicate what you care about most and learn to compromise you will feel more empowered. Your self esteem will rise, the stress reduces and there is an overall sense of well-being. The feeling of control comes from within, instead of externally. By displaying self-respect, others will rise up to the standard you set, respecting you as well.

Activity: Determine what you could do immediately to improve personal responsibility. Think about where you tend to rescue others because you want to help them, but you feel it is not appreciated. What excuses have you made for the people in your life? How do these things affect your relationship with people? Who supports you?

Now envision yourself being a support to your client, or family member, instead of making excuses for them. Imagine yourself caring for their challenges, but you don’t do their work. Instead you encourage them to take the next action steps. On the other hand if they don’t do anything, that is okay. This would actually be a valuable coaching session. Consider how this would alter your relationships. How would things be different for you if you were to let go of their outcome?

Do you find you tend to do too much for everyone else and there is very little energy left at the end of the day for you? Although you have set business goals, they often get overlooked because they don’t pay the bills. How many other times have you done something similar in your life, putting your needs aside in order to care for someone else? Well, all that can change.

Unless you are an island to yourself, so much of life has to do with relationships. Consider your relationships, personally, professionally and spiritually. If you were to rate the support you receive from the people in your life between zero to ten, with ten being exceptional support and zero having no support whatsoever, how would you rate your relationships?

Whether you admit it, or not, the people in your life affect your success. Spending time around people who drain you, get you angry or discourage you from reaching your dreams, has a significant impact on your focus.  You delay taking those next important steps toward your success. By seeing yourself through other people’s eyes, your own vision becomes blurred.

Judgment is something most people don’t want to admit they do, but they do it anyway. Often we are our own worst critic. It is never any fun when you are on the receiving end, particularly criticism.

These five relationship steps will boost your self confidence and reduce your stress.

Who are you taking care of?

When you are with your clients, your family or friends who are you taking care of? If you constantly put your needs aside because you want to make other people happy, you are not being in integrity. Of course it is acceptable to do that sometimes, but when it happens all the time that is a red flag.

You are a unique, valuable individual.  You are not going to be in full agreement with everyone at all times. Occasionally it is acceptable to do things your way. Give yourself permission to ask for what you need. It is extremely empowering to stand up for the things which are important for you.

Are you a giver, a taker or a supporter?

It is easy to recognize someone who is a giver and those who are takers. Givers are solely focused on what is in the best interest of the other person. Takers always wonder “what is in it for me.”

If you truly want healthy, balanced relationships in your business and your personal life then cultivate relationships with some supporters. This is very different from givers.

You see givers tend to help others. As a result they do other people’s work, take on someone else’s responsibility and feel they are doing the right thing. In a way they are being helpful, but there is a price to pay for being a giver.

Giver’s like to receive praise and acknowledgement for being helpful. They crave other people reflecting back to them that they are important. They require praise to validate their self worth. Of course most people like praise. Giver’s, however, need it because it fills a void due to low self esteem.

By the way when you are always helping and rescuing others, you are not really being helpful. When you end up doing someone else’s work, you are teaching them to be reliant on you. This prevents the other person from learning about personal responsibility.

People who are supporters, on the other hand, do not rescue. The supporter provides guidance as well as encouragement but they do not end up doing other people’s work. Supporters recognize the benefit of someone receiving consequences based upon their actions. They value personal responsibility.

Being a supporter is a difficult position when you observe someone fail because of poor choices, inaction or shortcuts. There is so much to be learned from mistakes; the lessons are invaluable. Supporters acknowledge the consequence, see what insight can be gained and respect the other person’s pain.  Creating a safe space for someone else to land when they have failed is priceless.

You will be more helpful to the people in your business and your life when you support them along the way rather than do the work for them.

I always look forward to the Business Breakthrough Mastermind Meetings with my clients. We always set the tone by sharing BIG wins, celebrations and successes. It serves several purposes.

Think about it, how often do you get to openly brag to others about your accomplishments, whether it is landing a couple of new clients, signing a big contract or going away for six weeks to write a book. Well it is not really bragging, but sharing. If you told your neighbor about how much extra money you made this month, she would think you were a show-off. Let’s face it, people with a J.O.B. don’t really understand entrepreneurs.

In a mastermind group, it is important to share the wins. You get to celebrate without having to downplay your success. Your fellow group members hear what you did and begin to realize, “well if she did it, then I could do that too.” Or someone might become aware of an obstacle keeping her from taking a similar step. Either way, it is because of sharing your success that the other mastermind member’s awareness of what is possible expands.

The mastermind is a safe place where you can let your guard down and talk about what is really going on in your business. Yes, it is even okay to discuss numbers. Each member is there to support you, multiplying the joys as well as dividing the sorrows. They want to see you do well because it reflects back to them what they are capable of accomplishing.

Whether it is a mastermind of two, just you and an associate, or one offered by a coach, I encourage you to find a group of like-minded individuals where you are able to freely talk about your business. Having accountability with a high-level working mastermind group is powerful. It will change the way you do business.

P.S. Do you feel like the people who you expect to support you and your business, don’t really understand what you are doing? You have dreams of how you want your business to operate and they are encouraging you to play it safe. Although their concerns might be well-intentioned, they aren’t what you need to hear on a regular basis. By hearing their concerns repeatedly, you begin to doubt yourself too. You are trying to grow your business, but are not receiving the support you need. If you are ready to re-commit to yourself and your business, contact Loren for a F.R.E.E.

Over and over again I see small business owners become overwhelmed working in their business. They don’t even realize they ought to be working on their business in order to experience growth. Many entrepreneurs believe in the Field of Dreams, build it and they will come. Well, that does not work.

For you to succeed as a small business owner, know your Unique Selling Proposition (USP). What separates you from all the other similar businesses? What value do you bring to your clients? What problems do you solve? Who is your market? (it is not everyone).

Once you become  clear on those answers then create a business plan and a marketing plan. If you are just starting up, the truth is you ought to be doing lots of marketing spending about 4 hours daily connecting with other people. Consider yourself a marketer first which then allows you to provide your service to your clients. As mentioned previously, the goal is to be working on your business as well as in your business for growth and prosperity.

Most small businesses fail within the first two years. What helped your business go from start-up to growth? Share the wealth, passing forward a key to your success.

Do you know how to effectively communicate the value you offer to your clients as a conscious business owner?

It is more important than you can imagine. Being able to express the value you bring to your business can make the difference in whether or not you attract the right clients to you and easily close the sale.

In fact there are 5 different types of value and we are going to discuss them right here. The more you understand the value you deliver, the easier it will be to stop running in circles wondering why people are not buying from you.
