Create Videos that Transform Lives

By

It’s amazing how far we’ve come with video technology.  In the recent past you needed expensive equipment, editing software, and technical expertise to produce a professional looking video.  That’s all changed.  There’s a simple and easy way to create your own professional looking videos for your coaching, consulting, and healing practice – especially if you learn from great teachers.  I highly recommend Bob “the Teacher” Jenkins.  Bob hosts awesome training events with incredible faculty that provide rich content, easy to use tools & techniques, and most importantly – coach and encourage you to apply the knowledge immediately.  Did I mention . . . you meet fabulous like-minded, energetic and vibrant people who cheer you on and are delighted to celebrate your successes!

If you get excited about transforming people’s lives, then get your message out to the world through video. Video is the way to go – it’s easy to integrate into your blog and a brilliant approach to quickly grow your coaching, consulting, and healing practice.

You may remember guest blogger Kristen Eckstein, The Ultimate Book Coach, from Build Your Blog and Finish Your Book post a few days ago.  Kristen created this really cool video (What Should Go On the Back Cover of Your Book) at Bob the Teacher’s SIMPLE Video Velocity event.  As a matter-of-fact, at the video training we all (yes, even us “newbies”) created and submitted videos for a Video Idol contest. Check out and see why Kristen has the unique distinction of being voted #1 in the first ever Video Idol!!

Playing the Entrepreneur

By

As someone who has spent over 30 success-filled years in corporate America, my first year as an entrepreneur has been full of surprises.

Farmington Bike Trail

One thing I ALWAYS did in corporate was to take all 6 weeks of vacation time to rejuvenate and have fun.  Now, as an entrepreneur, I find myself working from mid-morning well into most evenings and hardly have time for a bathroom break.

Since I’m a take-charge and create your reality kind of person, I decided to deliberately design and create more “playtime” into my life.   This means there’s much needed (and desired) spontaneous time-off built into the schedule.  As the “boss,” I’m in charge of what I would like to create and experience.  As far as life balance is concerned – I’d prefer to see the scales tip towards having it all and enjoying life fully.

On the Bike Trail

In celebration of freedom and adventure, I’ve posted recent pictures from my fun day biking, having lunch at Wood-n-Tap in Farmington (be sure to get there early, the patio tables overlooking Kettle Lake fill up quickly) and I even hit golf balls (first time ever) at a local driving range.

If you’re familiar with central CT you may recognize these spots. We have fabulous rails to trails bike paths in the state.  It was such a fun experience that I’ve added something new to my heart’s desire list . . . ride at least four new CT bike paths each year.

As a side note, during my “playtime” three ideas popped-in and they’ve already been implemented into the Leap Without Limits business.  Woo hoo, just love that!!

The Top 3 things I’ve learned this year as an entrepreneur . . .

Patio Seating at Wood-n-Tap

  1. New easy to implement ideas flow quickly when I’m relaxed.
  2. There’s an exponential increase of magic and miracles on the days that I “lighten-up” and have fun. In fact, the effect lasts for several days. ( It’s a great way to add grace and organically ease-up the workload.)
  3. It’s important to get outside the office, interact with others – all work and no play limits my spark-le factor.

I’d love to hear what you do to create magic and miracles in your life . . .

Build Your Blog and Finish Your Book

By

 

If you’ve always dreamed of writing a book and have been diligently writing blog posts, you’ll want to read what my friend and guest blogger Kristen Eckstein,  has to say in today’s post!  Kristen is . . .”The Ultimate Book Coach!”

If you have written steadily on a blog for a year or so, you probably have a ton of information that can be compiled into book format. Much like articles, blog posts can be placed into book form relatively easily. This method of compiled writing works for fiction, poetry, and non-fiction. Here are some steps to compile your blog post information:

Step 1

 

Start reading. You may not want to publish your very early blog posts, but who knows? You could have some great material from way back then.  Pull everything up and start reading.

Step 2

 

Copy/Paste. If you come across something that looks good, copy and paste it into a word processing program document. Remember to copy and paste the title there, too.

Step 3

 

Once you have copied and pasted everything you want in your book, check the length and begin organizing the content. If your book is a collection of poetry or short stories, you may not care about the order. If it is non-fiction, you may want to group it by topic.

Step 4

 

Hire a developmental editor. Unless your book is a collection of tips and strategies (like this book), you will want a developmental editor to help make the content fl ow. You originally wrote the book as individual blog posts that can stand alone. Now you need to link them all together. If you’re like me and want your book to be the best it can be, a developmental editor is a must even for this style of book. My personal recommendation for developmental editing is Erin Casey at www.erin-casey.com.

Blogging is a great way to build your author platform and create publicity; it also gets you in the habit of writing and helps you master your skills. If your goal is to write a book, blog with that purpose in mind. A clear focus from the beginning will cut down on the amount of editing required later. For a detailed step-by-step plan to write your book, check out FinishTheBook.com.

The Number 5 Makes an Appearance

By

On day 5 of the Ultimate Blog Challenge it happened quickly and unexpectedly – writer’s block set in.  What a change; I wanted freedom from this challenge. On the previous 4 days, ideas flowed freely cascading from the mind, spilling into the heart, sparking inspiration and easily navigating through the fingertips to produce copy onto the computer screen.

Where did the brilliant ideas and writing enthusiasm disappear to?  Sure the blog challenge hosts provide plenty of fabulous suggestions, yet none of the ideas felt right today.  My analytical side kicked-in and wondered “what’s holding up the writing?”  Then it dawned on me – it was the 5th day of the month and the 5th day of the blog challenge.  Oh, there it is . . . the number “5” showing up several times.

I love numbers (must be from my financial days) and find numerology fascinating.  Numerology is the science of vibrations and a tool that can be used to gain a clearer understanding of ourselves and our world.  Numerology is as ancient as the recorded history of mankind.  Pythagoras is considered to be the father of Numerology and his work dates back 2,500 years.

In numerology, every number carries a vibrational energy or essence that represents certain qualities and attributes.  The number “5” represents “freedom” and “change.”  That’s what’s significant about today . . . the qualities of freedom and change have shown-up the day after the 4th of July.  Our Founding Fathers can rest assured that the energy of – freedom and change – set in motion almost 250 years, can still be felt today.

A favorite comprehensive numerology book:  Numerology – Spiritual Light Vibrations by Jeanne.
