Dream Big,

No More, Now What?

Two very powerful words are "No more." If you take a brief inventory of your days and weeks, you can quickly assess how you spend your time. Tally those hours and you'll see how you are living your life. Are you spending the majority of your time doing what's important to you, what you value, what matters to you most?

If you're like most, surely you have to-do lists. But do you have a "stop doing" list? What's eating up too much of your time and energy? What do you need to stop doing or at least cut back on?

I teach that the key to manifestation is integrity. Integrity is keeping our agreements but the person it is most difficult to do this with is usually ourselves. Where are you out of integrity with your values, your heart and your soul? Are the words, "No thank you," part of your vocabulary?

Here's the payoff. As you say "no more," it makes room for "now what?" Now that you have some time and space in your life, what do you want more of? Now that you have some extra energy, because you're no longer using it up on things that you are not passionate about, what do you want to do? Now that you have more of yourself back, now what?

Make room in your life for your dreams, for the people you love, for the experiences you are here to have. Life is short and filled with precious moments. Don't miss out on living your life, since it's why you are here. Make what's important a priority, especially your dreams and the dreams of the people you love.

If you've ever read a biography of someone who made it through all odds, you know how inspiring it is to hear stories of how others have succeeded in achieving their goals. But have you noticed that most stories you hear aren't about people like you and me?

Dream Quote

"There is no power like the present."
~ Louise Hay

Dear Marcia,

I would love to present workshops to churches, spas, etc., but am not sure how much to ask for when I approach each organization. I'm also not sure how to find out what they may be looking for so I can gear the presentation to their interests. Thank you so much for any information you can share. I absolutely love what you do for all of us!

Hugs,
M.

Dear M.,

What a wonderful dream. Price is a question of both value/worth (yours) and what your prospect can afford to pay. Sometimes just asking someone what they have in their budget opens the way for a direct conversation. I speak for free at churches but offer a longer workshop after the service and we'll often "split the door." With regard to spas, they usually like to barter. A few calls to the program director or looking at some upcoming events will give you an idea of topics. They love well-being, balance, anything positive. This field has become more competitive, so find a unique way to "brand yourself." Check out our recent DreamTalk guest's site: Personal Branding DNA.

Let me know what happens.

Marcia
