I am surrounding myself with people with Dreams and want to meet you. Sending you inspiration to go after your Dreams, whatever that means to you!

When I dreamed of being my own boss, having a home-based business, I dreamed of FREEDOM. Having a wealth of time and money to do the things I love, while spending quality time with the people I care most about.

The first step initiated was a shift from being an employee in the lumber industry to self-employment in the Health & Wellness industry these past 12 years. I shifted gears for the same reasons many of us choose to be self-employed:  work our passion, call our shots, plan our hours, and essentially create something of our own.

What is the problem with this? Time, geographical and financial freedom only exists as a Business owner or Investor. Money may be earned in all four arenas, yet only true FREEDOM is derived when a network of other people’s time and efforts are leveraged and duplicated.

According to bestselling author and financial educator Robert Kiyosaki, this requires a shift from generating income as an employee or self-employed individual to becoming a business owner or investor. Robert explains this through the Cashflow Quadrant, a conceptual tool Robert developed to categorize the four major ways income is earned.  Watch this clip as Robert explains:

The Cashflow Quadrant

Taking Steps to Freedom

I love where I’ve focused my time and attention these past 12 years. Offering heart-centered counsel through Intuitive Guidance, Life Coaching, Massage & Bodywork and Grief/Loss has been an organic expression of my soul. The transformations I have witnessed have been breathtaking and rewarding.

What is the down side? As a self-employed consultant I’ve never worked harder, longer hours, and multi-tasked more, while having less time and less money than I dreamed of. Not only am I the Coach, I maintain a community presence while running the day-to-day operations of every small business.

THANKFULLY, I have found network marketing to complement and this is shifting how money is earned into the Business Owner and eventually Investor side of the Cashflow quadrant. Network marketing is a rewarding business model praised by the likes of financial educators Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump.

I am growing a residual income that pays month after month, while helping others in our organization do the same. We are developing a network of happy customers experiencing life-changing results, while growing a team of business partners whose collective efforts stretch each of us personally and professionally. Incredibly rewarding, I love it!

By staying focused on the Dream of Freedom, which requires continual steps towards generating income from the business owner and investor quadrants, time, commitment and consistency will reveal greater financial results.

Perhaps a little re-branding is due – as Health & Financial Coach elevating people’s lives by offering real solutions, extracting from spiritual coaching, bodywork and nutritional wellness with an element of creating Financial Health and an additional income opportunity for people from all backgrounds, ages and professional experiences.

Take Inventory NOW…It’s Your Turn

Begin with a 5-minute INVENTORY of what you most love and want in your life. Include: your experiences, passions, hobbies, celebrations and assets you own, whatever comes to mind and heart. Grab a pen and paper, bullet points are fine.

Write for 5 minutes continuously, nonstop. You may want to take 10 minutes or longer, which is absolutely fine as long as you keep flowing pen to paper. Take as long as you need.

Once you’ve created your list, go down the page and put a check mark or asterisk beside the item that you have already achieved in your life or feel that you enjoy on a regular basis. Now HIGHLIGHT with a bright marker what you HAVE NOT yet experienced. It is these areas that your heart is calling for your attention and steps towards change that will enliven their importance.  Envision taking inventory of your life’s bucket list, and then create a plan to execute and bring to fruition!

Are we feeling HEALTHY & vibrant in our body, exuding high levels of energy?
Are we PASSIONATE & inspired about our profession and daily to-do’s?
Are we in LOVE and feeling deeply nurtured in relationship with our partner or spouse?

Looking within, do we truly appreciate the blessings and teachings from our family and friends? Do we begin each morning our hearts filled with love, our body with Vigor and a Smile on our face? Do we feel deeply satisfied at day’s end that we’ve made a difference?

As a result of my own self enquiry and reflection, I have concluded that after 12 years offering private consultations, group workshops, newsletter articles, attending networking events and doing all the necessary aspects a self-employed person agrees to when they run their own small business through growing a community presence, I am choosing a window of reflection, a reprise in which I intend to spend more time BEING and less time DOING.

What this Means

This means allowing more time to experience what fuels and nourishes my soul, enabling more joy to flourish. I am saying YES, allowing the Law of Attraction to operate in the highest capacity  to reflect back more of what I focus my attention on, assisting to open my arms to experiences that will ‘blow me away’ … life experiences which I have not yet ‘tasted’ in the four decades I’ve lived on this earth!

This reprise may be brief, or a longer time-frame. Perhaps an organic transition that includes a combination of what’s worked until now, coupled with newness. As I honour this inner calling, clarity will be presented over time by way of embracing additional opportunities to relax, play, exercise, hike, be outdoors, meditate, dance, write and connect with loved ones.

What this Means to You

First and foremost, I’m not going anywhere. Business will continue, however, I will elect to schedule client consultations and related work activities with more time between to breathe, schedule further in advance, and consult more with people who demonstrate an even stronger desire to ELEVATE their life.

In taking this reflection time and placing a greater emphasis on nourishing my body, heart and spirit, my wish for you is to instill the importance of spending greater moments of the day in joy and play, rest and reflect. Doing so will ultimately create more happiness and opportunity to THRIVE in all areas of your life.

A Short Term Good-Bye

I will say ‘good-bye’ for now and send each of you blessings and gratitude for contributing to the joy of my life. When I feel called to write, I will. This may be in the form of shorter blogs which is so very much appreciated by everyone in this day of information overload.

As I prefer not to take up your valued time, I will instead offer Part 2 in my next article. Part 2 is titled ‘In Love with your Life? – Taking Steps to Freedom’.  The article will summarize my dreams and concept of freedom, while offering a solution to how you may take your first step towards achieving freedom in your life, as it’s defined by you.

New Year’s resolutions fail for the same reason that so many businesses do – because people let their strategy and resources limit their vision.

Here’s a simple example. Jeremy has $500 and up to one week off for his vacation so he believes he has only two options – a weekend getaway or couch-surfing at a friend’s house for a week. If Jeremy actually took the time to think about his dream vacation, he would identify that he would love to spend a month cycling around Europe. Unfortunately, because he is using his current (and very logical!) strategies of working within his resource limitations, Jeremy never even allows himself to consider what his dream is. He accepts the need for compromise as a logical reality.

The real reality is that if he just took the time to focus on what he really wanted, there is a good chance that he could create strategies for achieving it. He might have to give up the shorter vacations, trim his entertainment budget for awhile and put in some extra hours at work, but having his dream vacation would ultimately be much more fulfilling than many little “compromise” vacations.

The same principle applies in business. The biggest barrier any entrepreneur faces in achieving the full potential of their business is this tendency to let their current strategies and resources limit their vision.

We were hired by a manufacturing client a few years back to help with their annual strategic planning. They had revenues of about $7 million annually and had grown about 12% each year over the last 5 years. Their strategic planning for the coming year was focused on ensuring another 12% growth. By working with them to expand their vision from what they knew how to do (12% growth) to what they really wanted to do (triple their revenues and be a fun, creative and exciting place to work), we helped them design strategies to grow the company to $30 million over the next three years.

Many people think keeping your dreams realistic means you are more likely to achieve them. Research shows the opposite. Small, realistic goals are easier to put off. Big goals with ambitious deadlines spark people to begin taking action immediately, while motivating them to keep moving forward consistently over the long term.

Coming up with workable strategies for achieving big dreams doesn’t have to take extra time – simply the ability to harness extra creativity. Fortunately, when the dream you are working towards is truly compelling, you are more likely to persevere until the creative strategic insight occurs. You are also more likely to persist in overcoming any barriers that may get in the way of executing these strategies.

As you are setting your goals for 2012, set aside your strategic limitations and allow yourself to imagine what you really want. Remember that when you allow strategy to follow vision – not the other way around – you will amaze yourself and everyone around you with your personal and business accomplishments in the coming year.

To my family, friends, and clients who have touched my heart, everyone who has come and gone in my life encouraging me to be a better human being, and to each amazing person who has yet to touch my life. I look forward to blessing your life when we connect and even if we never meet.

I feel especially sentimental this Christmas as I experience change, and as I think of Rob today who is not only my cousin, he was very much a brother to me. Rob watched over me, we were the best of friends since childhood sharing kids play and jokes, while planning our Dreams and travel as we grew up together. As well, the pain and sadness that comes from accepting his cancer and holding his hand at bedside as he crossed over, returning to Spirit.

Life is a mystery, one of sorrows and joys we each have experienced. Just when we feel things are looking up, something dramatic happens and we are called to dig deep, seek faith and hope, and turn to gratitude for what we have. For some individuals, the choice is to blame, look the other way and run from themselves or the situation. The beauty of life is we have CHOICE and we each are powerful co-creators.

November 11, 2011 was an entry into a new chapter, as will be the year 2012. Many, many people are being born or dying as has always been the way of human life. Even more significantly, relationships are being created and deepened through engagements, marriage or giving birth, while other couples are facing break-ups and divorces. The human spirit is calling us collectively and individually to rise up, fully embrace deeper levels of self love and fulfillment, walk away from anything less, and live our Best Life.

With all my heart and gratitude, I wish you a beautiful holiday season with your family and friends, invite you to open your eyes to your best path and embody the courage and wisdom to know the difference that you can make in the world by first honouring yourself!

With love & blessings always.

Colleen

Through engaging conversations, situational exercises and psycho-spiritual education I support my coaching clients in becoming aware of thought and behavioral patterns that no longer serve them. This way they may choose to shift from fear to Love in who they are and what they do, both in their personal and professional lives.

One person or group at a time I help others to connect to their inherent Truth and create a clear vision and inspired action from this place of inner peace and power.

I invite you to contact me by email or call 604.737.0870 for a complimentary 30-minute coaching session or to discuss a speaking engagement. Let me help you MAKE SHIFT HAPPEN in your life!

Life stressors are numerous. Beginning with our family and the challenge of personal relationships (marriage, children, and aging parents), being an employee or operating a business, the chemicals and toxins present in our food and personal care products, to environmental toxins and political factors, Stress is global and affects everyone.

Add to daily Stress a traumatic experience such as a life threatening illness or the tragic death of a loved one and WAM, you feel Stress times 1000%. This increased level of Stress can be deeply debilitating and harmful in many ways. It is ABSOLUTELY possible to reduce the havoc Stress plays on the body, mind and spirit, as have been experienced by Colleen’s CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES.

Depending on our childhood and cultural conditioning, each individual responds to Stress differently. Some people experience Stress more dramatically, yet all of us to some degree momentarily tuck away the intense emotion into the tissues, joints, muscles, meridians and cells of the body – for brief or lengthy periods of time to survive. When extreme emotion is suppressed for an extended period of time, as often the case in ‘fight or flight’ survival mode, physical, emotional and mental health may be jeopardized.

Bodywork & Massage assists us to move from survival mode to a calmer, more neutral feeling and eventually return to THRIVE. Survival mode is ok for short periods of time, similar to when we have a cut or wound, in which the body’s immediate inflammatory process moves into play for the purpose of protecting the area by helping to remove damaged and dysfunctional tissue.

Short term inflammation is the beginning of healing the cut/wound and necessary, however, long term it can be detrimental to our recovery process. Bodywork & Massage combined with Quantum Energy Awareness (QEA) allows the body to relax, connect with and bear witness to the deeper emotion.

It is by experiencing the emotion or the information connected to that emotion, that we may dissolve the pain, sadness, guilt or whatever has attached itself – freeing the heart and body.

What is Stress?

Standing in shock and utter amazement as I reflect on the keys falling into a LOCKED waste box, my car is parked on the street with only my wallet and cell phone in hand. In the past, I would have panicked and freaked out, BUT THIS TIME I remained much calmer.

What did I do? First, I called the 24 hour bank machine phone number and after a lengthy wait was told they could assist me, however, it may take several DAYS for the contracted company to visit that particular branch. The customer service guy said the best step was to speak with the branch manager upon opening. I decided there must be a quicker solution.

So, with a clear mental focus I asked myself what to do next?

A good old-fashioned metal clothes hanger came into mind. I immediately began walking down the street to the closest Starbucks, in hopes they could lend me one to scoop out the keys deep at the bottom. If the metal hanger still existed???

On route to Starbucks, a gentleman with weights in both hands, out for his daily exercise, is speed walking towards me. I stop him to communicate my dilemma and ask his assistance, at which time he mentions the fellow who works at the local gas station/garage could likely help. So, after a relatively short period of time, we obtain a metal clothes hanger from the garage chap, untwist and create a hook at the end, and while I’m digging up a flashlight the walking man has already scooped my beloved house & car keys!! I am thrilled, in deep gratitude and life goes on!

What I believe saved my sanity and helped me stay calm with a clear mental focus, is an amazing nutritional supplement called Eleviv. I was introduced to Eleviv about 1.5 years ago and have been consuming 2 capsules daily since. With a 91% success rate within two weeks, most people notice a subtle or dramatic shift in their body and how they cope better under stress.

Eleviv, an all natural supplement and blend of four herbs, was initially formulated for elite athletes by my friend Dr. Shawn Talbott, Ph.D., an elite athlete himself. Athletes who run iron mans, marathons and 100 mile races endure tremendous levels of stress. Eleviv is geared to enhance physical energy and improve mental focus.

As it turns out, we all face stress so Eleviv is needed for everyone, not only athletes. Who do you know that is feeling Tired, Stressed or Depressed?

Eleviv is geared to bring stress hormone cortisol as well as testosterone hormones into better balance. Scientists now believe this may in turn lower the risk of diseases like cancer. Some noteworthy benefits include:

Increases Vigor and raises physical energy levels, reduces fatigue and promotes relaxation, restores mental alertness and improves concentration, and promotes a restful sleep. One of my favourites, which I’ve personally experienced, is enhanced mood state, bringing feelings of more joy, less anger, decreased anxiety and greater calmness.

As we age and as we endure heavy amounts of stress, cortisol tends to rise and testosterone may lower in men and women. An elevated cortisol is NOT a good sign of health. If cortisol remains elevated for an extended period of time, some researchers indicate this may potentially lead to cancer. To learn about the cortisol connection, visit Dr. Shawn Talbott’s website outlining his book The Cortisol Connection.

The moral of this story, stay far away from ATM bank machines when feeling sleepy. If you must visit them, give your body the gift of Eleviv. Contact me, I’ll educate you further and we can laugh together!
