Welcome to the November issue of Living Your Dreams. Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the US. Thanksgiving is a time to express gratitude and I have much to be grateful for this year. It was a time of tremendous growth for me and also a very prosperous year. (Those 2 things really can go together.) As my way of saying thank you to all of you who have supported and encouraged me in my mission to empower people to live out their dreams, I am extending some incredible holiday specials. My intention is to give back to you AND to encourage you to give the gift that will empower others to live their dreams. I have blown the lid off of anything I have ever offered before. We have a buy one, get one free offer, free gifts and an incredible special for those of you who want to give a book to every member of your team. See below for more details.
We also have a new article entitled "Follow Your Bliss Myths" which gives you the real scoop on what can happen when you choose to pursue your passion.
We have teleseminars coming up in December and in January to help you get 2006 off to a great start. Don't wait. Start planning for the bountiful new year now.
With love and gratitude,
Stacey
Follow Your Bliss Myths
By Stacey Mayo
The term Follow Your Bliss was made famous by a book by the same name. People have generalized that statement to mean many things, some of which are inaccurate, so I thought I would give you the real skinny on this topic and dismantle some old myths.
Let me start by saying I think it is very important that you get in touch with and follow your passions. Life is too short to spend your time doing something that is not fulfilling, especially if you work 20-60 hours a week, year after year. And when you do what feels good, things flow more easily. All of this is true. I am a living example of it. When I coach people and they have breakthroughs and begin to create a life that they truly love, I get all warm and fuzzy inside. Even after 10 years, it can bring tears to my eyes. Okay, so I am a little sappy. That's okay. My life is very rewarding.
But here are some myths that I would like to dispel:
Myth #1: You cannot do what you love and make good money too.
If that's true, then how come I am doing it? What about Oprah? What about Elton? Why not you? There are people in nearly every profession who are barely scraping by, others who are doing okay, and others who are highly successful and prosperous. You get to choose where you want to be on that scale. And the best way to get to the high end of the scale is to learn from people who have done it. That is why I wrote "I Can't Believe I Get Paid To Do This!", so that you could learn proven strategies from remarkable people who are excelling in their field.
Myth #2: To follow your bliss/purpose you have to be saintly like Mother Teresa.
Following your bliss means doing whatever you are passionate about. For some that is service, for others it is using their creative talents, for others it is pursuing adventures. It is different for everyone and there is not any one way it should look. What is important is that it lights YOU up.
Myth #3: If you follow your bliss, the money will follow
As stated in #1 above, you can create money in alignment with your passion but it just isn't as simple as the statement above. You also have to know what your natural talents are and combine those with something you are passionate about and do it in a setting that is conducive to your personality. (If you don't know what your natural talents are, you may want to consider taking the Rockport Career and Aptitude Test. Additionally you have to take inspired action and implement strategies in alignment with your dream and you need to be visible. Applying some of the proven strategies from "I Can't Believe I Get Paid to Do This" is a great place to start.
Something most people won't tell you is that when you get on your path, all the old patterns that no longer work for you will come up for you to heal or grow beyond so you can be the kind of person who can live out this dream. That is why getting support is so important.
Myth #4: If you follow your bliss, everything will be easy and just flow
This definitely has some truth to it. But again it is oversimplified. If you are doing what feels good to you AND do not have any doubts about your ability to succeed and are not worried about whether it will work or not, and don't stress out when things don't go perfectly according to your plan and timeline, et al THEN things will flow. You have to learn how to focus on what you want and not on what you don't want and to manage stress differently so you can relax and then things happen with more ease and less effort. Learning how to do this is a journey, not a quick fix. Trust me on that. But it is oh so worth it. We talk about this some in my free teleclass How to Create a Six Figure Practice and in more depth in my Living Your Dreams Coaching Group. Both are listed below.
So, what is the bottom line of this message?
Definitely follow your bliss, but understand that it is Step 1 in a multi-step journey toward making your dreams come true.

Give the Gift the Gift that Makes a Difference

Give the gift that keeps on giving and send the link to the movie (http://www.thedreammovie.com) to someone today and make a difference in their lives.

Group Coaching Programs: What are they?
Group coaching programs are held over the phone so you can attend from anywhere in the world. These programs are typically 4 months in length and are attended by people just like you who need support in clarifying and living their dreams. The programs teach proven strategies but also coach you on how to best attain your goal given your personal situation. The group size is limited so you get individual attention and you have a buddy to support you as well. We currently have 2 group coaching programs:
