Get Wealthy by Being Authentic

Did you realize that you can create greater wealth by being authentic?

Let me explain. A lot of people try to make money doing what they think they SHOULD do, not what they FEEL great about doing.

If you aren’t super excited about getting up the next day to work, then you probably aren’t being authentic.

People who are authentic follow their passions. They can’t wait to get to work. They feel such a great sense of satisfaction from what they do. In fact, they usually have to force themselves not to work because they are having so much fun.

I know that I have to pull myself away from the phone or computer because I am doing what I’m passionate about. I am being true to myself and I think people really respect that.

So, how do this transfer into wealth. Well, have you ever heard the saying “Do what you enjoy and the money will follow”? There is truth to that statement.

When you enjoy what you’re doing you tend to go all out with it. You work with enthusiasm and that makes people want to know what you’re up to.

People want to be around you when you are excited and happy, and enjoying what you’re doing to make money. People want to be a part of that. You naturally attract clients and customers.

Authentic abundance is the way to great wealth. My question to you is, why wouldn’t you do what you enjoy? and if you can make money from it, doesn’t it just make perfect sense.

Do what you love and the money will follow. Now get out there and practice authentic abundance and create great wealth doing what you love.

Hoorah! It’s a Recession!

Okay, so before you think I’m crazy, let me tell what’s great about a recession.

Successful women think in abundance. They look at this time as a time to prosper.

This is also one of the benefits of being an entrepreneur. You have control of how you deal with situations.

Look around, companies are downsizing, laying off people, even shutting down.

Is that acting with abundance? Is that a successful mindset?

NO!

That’s the scarcity mindset at work.

When everyone is cutting back and shutting down, successful women expand, do more!

Many of the most successful companies were started during a recession.

There has never been a better time to build your business. While everyone is dropping back, take a giant leap forward.

Less competition (as if you’re afraid of the competition :-) ) People are going to be looking for what you have to offer.

Remember abundance feeds more abundance. Create your own abundance now! Don’t wait. Now’s the time to make more money than ever and create you’re fabulicious lifestyle filled with HAPPYness, more time with family, and whatever you’ve been working so hard to achieve.

I’d love to hear from you and what you’re doing to propel your business in this entrepreneur abundant economic times.

Yours in HAPPYness,

Teri

Millionaire Mindset

I was getting my hair done the other day at this fabulous hair studio. I’ve been going there for years.

In the next room there was a table set up with wine, fruit, cheese, and crackers. There was a group of women in there too. Some were getting their hair done, some were getting their makeup done. The rest were standing together talking and enjoying themselves.

SO, what does this have to do with a millionaire mindset?

Well, I asked what was going on in that room, I was told it was a bridal party. Apparently they always do this for groups that are getting services there.

And they don’t get charged for it.

The owners of the company are practicing abundance. It’s brilliant!

These women came together for a service that could be provided at any number of hair places. But they were treated like queens there.

Do you think they’ll spread the word about the great service they received?

You bet they will.

The women who own the business have a millionaire mindset. Their business is booming and expanding despite the economy.

Practice abundance and it will all come back to you.

I’m Back

Whew, I have been gone way too long. I was having server issues so the blog was down. My sincerest apologies.

Well, the holiday season is fully upon us. With all the hustle and bustle it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Here are some quick tips to keep the fun of the season and the stress levels down.

  • If you need to get any more gifts, there’s still time to use the internet. Saves you on gas and stress, no long lines to wait in. 
  • If you do need to go out to shop, give yourself plenty of time so you don’t feel rushed. This way you can take your time and take in the sounds and the beautiful decorations.
  • Stop and smell the roses, or the coffee. Take a break and sit back and relax with a nice cup of herbal tea or your favorite coffee beverage with a friend. Talk about how exciting things are right now and how great it is to have such a wonderful friend.
  • Stop by the section of the mall where Santa is. Look at the amazement and excitement of all the kids waiting to sit on Santa’s lap. As you look at their smiling faces, think back to times when you were a child and everything was new and wondrous.

It’s time to appreciate the little things, because it is the little things that mean so much. Be grateful for being alive and for the bounty you’ve been given. Walk around with a smile and say please and thank you. Make this a season of celebration and pleasure.

Enjoy, laugh much, and be well.

Thanksgiving

I just wanted to take a moment and wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.

I am so grateful for so many things, my family, friends, and you.

Take a moment to think about all the wonderful things you have in your life. Being grateful is one of the best things you can do to decrease stress.

Have a wonderul, safe, and stress free holiday!

Warmly,

Teri

Thankful

It’s November already. I can’t believe how fast the year has gone by.

What’s so great about November? It’s the month to give special thanks for all your blessings.

If you’ve been thinking about starting a journal, now is the perfect time to get started. Get a beautiful journal and fun pen and just start writing.

Not sure of what to write? Start writing down things you are grateful for. This will help you to see how truly blessed you are, will make you feel empowered, will help decrease stress, and will give you a new perspective on life.

When you write down what you are grateful for, you are operating in abundance. When you focus on abundance, you receive abundance. So, be grateful for all you have and gratefully accept all the wonder that will come to you.

Make yourself happy without breaking the bank

I saw a great bumper sticker today. It said, “the best things in life aren’t things at all”. This really got me thinking. Every weekday, thousands of people are stuck in bumper to bumper traffic trying to get to work or home from work. If you look at the people driving you’ll notice that most of the people aren’t driving by with a big smile on their face. They’re probably wishing they were at home with their families.

We’ve become such a society of wanting things to make us happy. But if you think about it, they only make us happy temporarily. Then we have to pay the bills. Eventually what made us so happy initially just makes us want more. We have to keep working to pay for the things we want and then we need to make more money to keep getting more things. I know, this probably sounds so negative but I don’t mean for it to come across that way. Let me go back to my original point.

Life is so amazing and beautiful, when was that last time you looked around at all the wonderful “things” you have in your life: your family, your friends, your health, your memories. Do you remember what it was like when you started dating someone you really liked. The sky was brighter, the flowers smelled sweeter, food tasted better. The simple things made you happy and a lot of them didn’t cost a thing.

See if you can practice enjoying what’s around. Eat a little slower and savor every morsel. Enjoy a glass of wine with a few of your closest friends and reminisce about things that made you happy (and probably still do). Give someone you care about a hug and tell them how much you appreciate them. And my favorite, start a journal about what you are grateful for. Put back into your life the little things that make you so happy but don’t cause you to break the bank. These are “things” you can treasure over and over whenever you wish, for the sole purpose of making you happy. This is definitely a successful woman’s secret to success.
