Sales Is NOT A Dirty Word
Most often the word "marketing" is used to mean the same thing as sales because nobody likes to be SOLD. Yet, every entrepreneur knows that their business cannot succeed unless and until someone buys the goods or services they are selling. Fear of being seen as a pushy sales person is perhaps one of the primary reasons people fail realize their natural prosperity.

Building Castles on Sand
Recently, I suggested to a long time client that she was playing too small a game. She answered, "But you said I moving too fast too soon." I pointed out that when I made that statement, she was operating her business based on her unconscious, grandiose ego needs. Over the time we had been working together, she has changed and is now on enough solid ground for a natural expansion in her thinking, in her actions and her outcomes. She truly has her feet on the ground and her head in the stars
This exchange reminded me yet again that when you are operating your life out of unconscious ego needs, you are building castles on sand. Success is temporary at best and like sand is washed away unless there is a solid foundation to sustain prosperous successes through the high and low tides of life's cycles.
Out of control ego needs actually rest on top of abject unconscious fears and insecurities. Never before in history of the US have we had an almost daily dose of terrorist threats that can penetrate our shores as easily as Great Britain. Combined with a prolonged presidential election process, no matter your politics, these two factors alone play into the collective consciousness (mass consciousness) of fears and economic insecurities
Juxtaposition to this uncertainty or maybe because of it, there seems to be an explosion fast-food-fix programs that promise - instant millionaire, millionaire in a minute or a number of weekend wonder programs guaranteed to be the answer to all your financial and life woes. They work for some people, giving them just the jumpstart they need, but for far too many, a weekend wonder seminar just gives their critic more ammunition.. What they don't realize and can't really see is that building castles on a sandy consciousness just leaves you more than vulnerable to being washed away by the collective consciousness of fear and lack.
Never Say NeverSeventeen years ago I started Wealth & Wisdom Senminar with my intensive transformational training program then called "The Gift of Money" which evolved into "Money-Wealth & Wisdom." Just about the time, I started working on my book, "Journey to Wealth & Wisdom" I simply stopped offering the program. I had lots of rationales that I can't even remember right now.
At the beginning of this year, I had the wonderful opportunity of facilitating a small group of committed professionals who made insightful and meaningful changes in their relationship to money during the "Journey to Wealth & Wisdom" seminar series, the latest incarnation of the original program. I saw once again, the power of diving into the subconscious mind, allowing buried head trash to surface and to be transmuted into new behaviors and choices. (I see a similar phenomenon with my business coaching clients as they let go of their fears, resistance and pre-conceived notions.) The results are nothing short of amazing as each person made profound changes.
Doing this program proved to me that it was time to recommit to my "Journey to Wealth & Wisdom" program.
The new three month format allows more time to integrate changes and new awareness. Much more than a fast food fix. The Journey program builds a solid foundation for sustained and growing prosperity.
