Hello Everyone on the 26th of March 2010
I attended an Athena meeting (http://www.theathenanetwork.com.au) at North Sydney yesterday. For my Business Mentor Deb Pilgrim (http://www.debpilgrim.com) was speaking on ‘Attracting Clients’ for Female-Solo-Business Entrepreneurs.
I loved the essence of the group of women I was with. Athena is about building business communities for women who are Solo-Business Entrepreneurs. Athena provides women with the support, feedback, inspiration and guidance that they don’t always have when they ‘work alone’. It is like a team effort to pull us all too increasing heights of success. Perfect.
Suzy Jacobs, The National Director, of The Athena Network is the epitome of success in everyone’s eyes. For she is fast-tracking herself to achieve her business goals with good business savvy coupled with a personality and a passion for life that would inspire even the dead to come alive.
If you are a Female-Solo-Business Entrepreneur then check out Athena as a possible option for business support. It works!!!
Ok onto other things. I have learnt today once you decide what it is that you are doing or aiming to do in life then you need to put it out to others and ask for help and support.
If what you are aiming to do is bigger and better than anything you have ever attempted before then ask for help from those around you that you know will help and encourage you in any which way they can.
For example if you are aiming to take a leap in your business then tell those business people in your life that are your ‘Pillars of Influence’ that this is what you are doing. Then ask them for any help you need to get it all moving perfectly for you.
What part of the picture could someone else do for you? What part of the picture would someone else have a clearer idea of for you? What part of the picture would someone know someone that could help you further?
Ask. For you never know who knows what and who knows who.
I asked the women of my Athena group yesterday if anyone knew of an Owner of Curves in the Sydney Metropolitan area that they would be happy to introduce me to so I could share my ‘Think Yourself Thin’ complimentary Weight Loss Seminar. To help the Curves Owners have more successful clients to increase and improve their word-of-mouth referral from their client base. For we all know when someone is successful losing weight with a particular method they tell everyone. Good for business. So it about helping these women of Curves to gain the much needed skills, abilities and confidence to look and feel great for life.
Three of the women in the Athena meeting were more than happy to help me. In fact a week ago when I mentioned in my blog that I had spoken at Curves at Crows Nest a colleague of mine, Philippa Lowe of http://www.justgowrite.com emailed me to say she had just met the Curves Owner and Sutherland and was happy to introduce me. I contacted Jacki at this wonderful venue of Curves at Sutherland and we are in negotiation now about a possible date for the talk!!! So thank you Philippa and everyone who has offered to help.
What I am saying is if I didn’t ask or if I thought as a ‘Solo-Business Entrepreneur’ I had to do it all on my own then I would have been struggling to get all these details and feel confident to email and call these new contacts.
I think a connection that has come from personal referral is the best way to work. Rather than cold-calling. I don’t have thick enough skin for this!!!
I needed some help. I asked. I receive.
You know that old biblical reference ‘ask and ye shall receive’. Well I did ask and I received big time!!!
Suzy Jacobs also said she knew someone who knew the actual founding owners of Curves in the states. WOW! I’m there. I hope. I’ll let The Team take care of that. But I have emailed this contact of Suzy’s to catch up!! Woo-hoo!!!
So ask ask ask. It is not a sign of weakness it is a sign of wise business strategy!!!
So ask yourself:
• If I am aiming to take xxxxxx step in my business or life then who can I ask to help me to achieve this goal now?
• Then break it down further. Which part of this step do you specifically need help with?
• Then ask your ‘Pillars of Influence’ for this specific help. You will be amazed at what happens.
I have been enjoying the process of my new branding and product line. It is all pretty much set in stone now. I am now ‘branded’ as:
‘Joanne M Prior, Think Yourself… Successful’.
With my tagline:
‘Applied Spirituality’.
What do you think???
I have new business card printed up with this on it. I have included on my business card and on my email signature my qualifications because I came to realise that my qualifications is what gives my channelling the strength, power, effectiveness and efficiency to bring results!!!
The information I channel would be meaningless and unproductive if it didn’t come through my results-orientated-grounded-in-let’s-make-it-happen mindset!!!
‘What is the core cause of this problem? What is the solution? How do we make it happen? What’s the first step?’ mentality that I have as a scientist and counsellor are the thoughts my mind is focussed on constantly when I am working with clients. I don’t even let up with my colleagues, friends or family. I am constantly thinking of solving problems to bring dreams come true!!!
My personal and professional mindset is around ‘let’s solve this problem and bring into reality a better way of living and being’. So I channel the information from The Team through this type of filter.
So for those that know me there are no victims in my world!!! I hear the story once then we use this to recreate the story of your life to change your reality so you are happier, healthier, leaner, more in love, have more love, more peace, more abundance, more money, more fulfilment and find your way to living life with contentment.
My new products now enable you to do this.
My MMMPs as I said earlier this week have been transformed into 22 session packages and they are not entitled ‘Think Yourself… Successful’ Mentoring Packages. I will be focussed specifically on one area of life in each of these packages. So depending on whether you want to:
• ‘Think Yourself Thin’
• ‘Think Yourself Rich’
• ‘Think Yourself in Love’
• ‘Think Yourself Happy’
and the list goes on.
What would you like to create more of in your life? Are you sick of feeling the way you are? Do you feel stuck and life just isn’t working out the way you expected it to?
If this sounds like you then it is time to ‘Think Yourself’ into a whole new reality of living as someone who loves being themselves, is comfortable in their own skin, loves what is happening in their life, open and ready for more, in control without being controlling, excited about life and the continuing possibilities and are confident in their abilities to affect their life in a positive way to bring around all the life-affirming change they have desired.
I would love to hear from you and hear where you are at. Don’t hesitate to contact me for a chat, I love to discuss life and more than happy to share some tips to success with you.
I will hear from you soon on +61 2 9531 6752 and jo@joanneprior.com
Love J and TT
