Are You Ready to Take Your Next Big Leap

Have you got a lot going on in your business and life?

Are you ready to jump up to the next level but have no idea how?

Have you got a secret desire to facilitate change in the world but are unsure how to get your message out?

Do you need to find the clarity and knowledge to bring your message together?

Many women have created a business that was meant to stay small and insignficant only to wake up one morning and realise their message has become bigger than Texas. Then the dilema becomes how to get that message out to the masses who are starting to want to hear it.

The Adelaide Luxury Business Bootcamp is designed to help you firstly get the confidence to run your own events and start getting your message out to more people.

We will help you to understand what an authentic message is and how to become comfortable enough to start getting your message out to larger groups of people.

PLUS we are also going to help you to fill your events by sharing the many different ways you can get people to your event.

We are calling it "Get Organised, Get Real and Get On With It"

Who is the Adelaide Luxury Business Bootcamp for?

Women in Business, Solo-prenuers, Coaches, Natural Therapists, up and coming presenters and workshop leaders - in fact anyone who leads from the heart and has a message inside them that is screaming to get out.

An event is any gathering bigger than two people, what we teach will help whatever stage you are at in your business, whether you want to have small intimate gatherings or big seminars and workshops.

Utopia International Retreat is On Again for 2009

Utopia International Retreat 2009 it's happening again!!

You may have remembered me returning from speaking at the 2008 event and just being in such a wonderful space after meeting all the wonderful participants and presenters.

This year is promising to be even better with a longer list of presenters, all with a unique passion in their specific area of expertise.

There is a very beautiful new website you can visit here where you will see me a picture of me presenting last year on the home page. The website production this year is sponsored by Kyrona and Rebecca at Inspired Insight and they have done a wonderful job.

I'm going to be interveiwing most of the presenters in the lead up to the event so stay tuned and get your ticket early this year.

The photo is from the closing ceremony in 2008 and it shows me getting a healing from the fabulous Jeremy Donovan who will also be doing the closing ceremony in 2009 but with Dr Stephan Farmer. People who have seen them work together in the past say they are AMAZING!

You can see photos of last year and read some of the testimonials from last year here

How to Make More Money Without Working Any Harder

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is: "how can I make more money in my practice but not work as hard?"

It’s the 90 million dollars question in this industry because most natural therapists and health and wellbeing practitioners have to be physically present or working on clients to generate income. It becomes exhausting and eventually makes the practice unsustainable and burns the therapist out - that is not abundant!

My Guest GURU this month opened up a wonderful revenue opportunity for therapists by offering a website that allows you to use pre-recorded music, images and voice over scripts to easily record your own CD's and audio to sell or give away (or a mixture of both) on your website or in interactions with clients and prospective clients.

This includes your own ability to do voice over’s and if you want to, you can record a full CD of music, meditations - in fact there are all sorts of wonderful ways you could use this product including creating your own videos.

You can listen to the call below and get an idea of how easy this can be or you can get more information on The Chill Sessions website here

Having your own CD's not only puts your practice into a new professional class but it also allows your customers to take a little bit of you home with them when they leave your practice - just like you can take a little bit of a musician home to listen to again and again after the gig.

What struck me about this particular product was firstly that it does seem very easy and most of the hard work is done for you and secondly there are two human beings on the end of the phone who will talk you through any techno challenges you have with the creation of your product.

Get Naked, Get Help & Get a Winning Attitude!!

Leonie Marks, Holistic Coach, Mentor and Intuitive Astrologer will be the master of ceremonies at the Luxury Business Bootcamp myself and Samantha Richardson of Evolution Events will be holding on the Gold Coast later this month.

Leonie wrote a wonderful article for her people this month and I thought I would share it with you,

Firstly because she has done a great job of telling her own story of getting up on stage and speaking

Secondly because she gives some great tips on how to stop the sabbotage and get on with being fabulous!

Thirdly becuase you are probably sick of Sam and I banging on about the topic. It will be a nice change to hear a new perspective = ENJOY!


More than ever before, its time to move forward. . .

. . . and more than ever before you'll be aware of any struggle that brings up - along with those old feelings of being held back or blocked . . .

Whatever you label that “obstacle” – the truth is, its your own self-sabotage reaction trying to keep you safe, secure and firmly stuck - right where you are now.

The good news is
. . . those undesirable feelings of frustration, stuckness and even
fear – are a huge sign that you’re ready to go to the next level! The biggest decision is to take the first step, then it gets easier, you just keeping taking one step and before you know it, you’ve travelled a huge distance and achieved things you never thought possible!

Since I've come to recognise the feeling of being stuck as a big fat signpost in my life – its completely changed how I respond to life and what I attract as a result.

Here’s how I put that into practice last year:

I had this enormous urge to get my message out there and help a lot more people to step up in their lives – the urge set off the old feelings of frustration at not knowing how. On good advice from my business coach I accepted the challenge of increasing my speaking engagements. Of course that meant I had to really face up to the fear of "revealing" myself in public.

Now, those who know me well, know that I can talk underwater!

So what’s the big deal?

Well, I didn’t want to just talk at people, I wanted to share my message with clarity and confidence in a way that would inspire, inform and give value to my audience. All being well, when they needed services such as mine the added bonus would be - they’d remember me  Sounds great doesn’t it?

"Getting Naked"

But I still had to get naked in public! Yikes, it was feeling like those dreams we’ve all had, there you are up on stage or out in the streets in your birthday suit, amongst the wide-eyed fully clad public, all gawking right at you! Did I really need to put myself through that?

Get Help

To get things moving more quickly in the direction I wanted to go, it had to be done. So, Yes I needed to do it. There was no way I was getting through it alone, so with a good coach and a public speaking mentor to help me shape up, front up and speak up, I put myself out there.

The first few big audiences had me sweating and fretting - but talk by talk I've grown into a place of confidence and joy in my public speaking and now I’m calling back to the universe - "bring it on" - I love connecting to each new group and sharing my life and business with a wider circle.

Get a Winning Attitude

The "can do" attitude keeps inspiring self-confidence and more can-do attitude – which is very useful! And it brings exciting rewards.

I want to share one of mine with you, because it could be benefit you directly.

I've been invited to be MC at The Tough Love Luxury Business Boot Camp
on the Gold Coast in March, which is an exciting opportunity.

The boot camp is for anyone who wants to create successful events, seminars and workshops; and use speaking to enhance their career/business.

These 2 skills are a must in almost all career choices – to check out the great package Margaret Gill and Samantha Richardson have put together click here to download brochure

So, to summarise how we can make the most of our opportunities in 2009 here are the

6 Keys to Stepping Up and Moving Forward:

• Recognise the Signs

As in "Good News" above, those unwanted feelings of frustration, irritability, fear and stuckness - are always a sign that its time to let go, move on, step up - so don't deny them or run from them, turn around and step through them!

• Get Naked

Let’s not hide anymore - being open with self and others is the most amazing way to grow and really experience what you want in life.

Practice openness with self and others

• Stop the Struggle

Don't struggle alone - get help from someone who’s been there!
Battling along on your own is futile. Whether you know what you want and can't get there on your own; or you can't decide what you want and need

• Clarity and Direction

Get help - coaching, counselling, mentoring,
there is always someone out there who has the experience and knowledge you need – and is just dying to share it with you. Not getting help = self-sabotage!

• Winning Attitude

No need to play small. Stand up loud and proud, be who you are, go after what you want. We're here to grow and shine. As we do that we naturally attract what we really want to give and receive in life.

• Celebrate every step!

As above - I'm well over the old tall poppy syndrome! How about you? Our growth and achievements, no matter what they are, benefit us and everyone around us. The ripple effect reaches farther than we can imagine.

We deserve to celebrate and honor ourselves and each other every step of the way!

Its all in our awareness, attitude and action.

Introducing Leonie Marks

Leonie is a Coach, Mentor and Astrologer who helps women to gain the clarity, confidence and practical tools to move to new levels of success in their careers and businesses.

“I’ve always known my purpose was to help others to achieve their dreams. My journey began with years of intense study and training in Nursing, Psychology, Counseling and Natural Therapies. However, the real power of my work comes from having “been there and done that” in my own life. Having achieved my way into a complete burn out 10 years ago - I’ve had to dig deep for the wisdom in what I thought I knew so well. That’s when my real “education” began. Now I love helping others to master that process and move forward with confidence”.

Leonie is the founder of the “Come Unstuck” and “Business Stardom” programs. Her clients and students benefit from her genuine, down to earth approach and her continued practice of applying the spiritual principles of life mastery in her daily life.

Another Great Idea If Your Niche Market Is Women

Springwise have given us another great entrepreneurial business idea that takes a very basic theme and moves it up a notch with clever marketing. Go Home Gorgeous is a fun way to promote a well needed service for new Mums.

Having beauty therapies in a hospital environment isn’t a new idea but this company has wrapped it up so it appeals to all aspects of a woman’s mind body and soul after she has had a baby.

They are mostly focusing on the beauty aspect but I bet some savvy natural therapists could find a way to get their services included on the menu.

WHAT IS IT?

Are you nervous about organising your own events or speaking in public?

When you know how to do both (run and speak at your own events) you open up all sorts of wonderful opportunities to make more money and get better known as an expert in your industry.

This Luxury Business Boot Camp is just what it says a hard talking, solid advice, downloaded from our hearts to you, business building weekend.

Both presenters are passionate about helping people grow successful businesses and we see workshops and seminars as a really important aspect when you have knowledge to share with others. So our main aim is to see you leave with all the facts you need to get your workshops and seminars happening - it’s that simple!

What's more we will help you feel confident speaking in front of your groups, by sharing firstly what you need to do but more importantly pointing out what you don't need to do. The latter part is something that will rarely occur where people tell you honestly what you can't see.

We are prepared to share what we have learnt so you don't have to endure the tears both of us have encountered at the cliff face of live events!
