HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!! Gratitude and Appreciation…

January 1st, 2010 Kathy Baker

HAPPY NEW YEAR to YOU ALL!!!  And here’s to a fabulously successful 2010, and brand new decade ahead!

This is an amazing time of the year to reflect back on what has taken place and gone by during the past year 2009.

And cast forward to the amazing year 2010 and decade before us – and all the possibilities and wonderment yet to come to fruition…

It’s also a wonderful time to express Gratitude and Appreciation for what we have —and joyfully weave in forecast Gratitude and Appreciation for what is yet to come – as if it is already here – a vital ingredient in mastering the successful Manifestation process.

For me, the last few days have been quite surreal…  Partly prompted unfortunately by my carelessly twisting/spraining my knee earlier in the week, forcing me to take it easy, and stop jumping around like a jack-in-the-box.

The celestial message: take it easy, relax, kick back, take time to reflect and review…

Not that I don’t already try to do this, but there has been an added “twist” – no pun intended!  Hehehe ;-)

Last night, New Year’s Eve was absolutely amazing! 

After 2 consecutive days of 38C and 37C hot conditions, as predicted by 8.45pm the changed conditions came through with brooding, ominous dark clouds impregnating the still daylight savings sky, boding the storms to come (threatening the traditional New Year’s Even Midnight fireworks display).

By 9.15pm, the storm erupted brilliantly, with much needed rain, thunder and lightning.  I’m a very biased lover of thunderstorms, and find them mesmerizing, so that was like an added bonus for me.

Midnight approached – the exhilarating countdown into the New Year and a brand new decade – and the thunderstorms continued, and thankfully, the fireworks proceeded as planned.  YIPPEE!!! 

Again surreal – 360 degrees around me (my home is just 5 kms south of Melbourne’s Central Business District, and one block away from the seaside boardwalk), we watched the fireworks explode brilliantly into the now dark midnight sky, intermingled with lightning and fireworks, all round.  How amazing and glorious!  I’ve never seen or experienced the combination before. 

A pleasing example of Mother Nature doing her natural thing, and kindly allowing human-made fireworks to share center stage with her on this very special occasion.  Graciously, room for all, eh?…

What a gift.  What a brilliant experience to witness.

So, as I said this is a great time to say Thanks, and express Gratitude and Appreciation…

For me, the amazing opportunity I have to:

-  Operate from my Home Business in Internet Marketing, sharing information in Self Improvement, Success Mindset and Law of Attraction, with other people.

-  Live My Life on Purpose…

-  Help others along their journey of achieving self-transformation and helping them enhance their lives.

-  Reach a much wider audience with this wonderful information I wish to share.

-  “Make a difference” in other people’s lives.

-  Attract, connect and work with wonderful likeminded people who are on the same wavelength, share insights, goals, and aspirations.

-  Enjoy more great Joint Venture Partnerships to collaborate with likeminded individuals so that together we can make a difference in People’s lives.

And much more…

I invite you to take this time to express Gratitude and Appreciation for what you have, and what you wish to have for now, into 2010, and beyond…

Write it down in 2 columns, or in 2 sequential sections, if you wish. 

New Year is an incredibly cleansing pivotal time to review, let go, and refresh and re-align where you wish to go. 

Take the best advantage of this time, and set yourself on the right course you desire…

I wish you the very best for the New Year and Super Successful 2010!

To Your Success!

Kathy

P.S.  As my Happy New Year gift to you, here’s a link to the classic “Think and Grow Rich” by Napolean Hill – http://bit.ly/8qeYFO - Enjoy!

P.P.S.  Have a TOTALLY FABULOUS 2010!!!

P.P.P.S  More lovely rumbles as more thunderstorms brewing right now Jan 1 2010 evening, as we speak…  Here it comes, rain falling right now, rumbling continuing…

Intentions Planning for a Magnificent Success Achieving 2010!

December 17th, 2009 Kathy Baker

Intentions Planning is a great thing to do right now as 2009 draws to a close.  It’s a fantastic time of the year to cast forward your thinking and plan and prepare for a fabulous new year 2010.

So, let’s make the most of this special time, and get ready for a great kick-start to 2010.

It’s been said – “If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail” (Unknown). Or – “Failures don’t plan to fail; they fail to plan” (Harvey MacKay)

And, on the other hand – “Plans… are made to be tinkered with—and eventually torn up” (by the wonderful innovative, “outside the box”, Thriving on Chaos, Tom Peters)

My view is you need a combination of both – Planning for sure, but not be too obsessive or rigid about it, and stay open to adjust your Plan, intuitively and inspirationally, for better things.   

Getting the balance right is the key, so you get the absolutely best benefit for YOU. 

And, that is to get your Plan clear and mapped out so you have a clear Vision and Action Plan ahead to follow.

But then stay flexible, because it needs to be a living, breathing plan that evolves and can be flexibly adjusted responsively, as things inevitably change…

I also prefer to talk about Intentions (and Dreams) rather than Resolutions (of the New Year variety) and Desired Achievements rather than Goals.

Your ability to sense, intuit, and take Inspired Action, with speed, is vitally important.

So, here are some Guidelines for your Intentions Planning:

1. Identify and Set Your Intentions

Be very clear and decide what you want and desire. When you do so, with laser sharp clarity, you engage your conscious and sub-conscious minds, and the Universe can then step in to set in motion, draw to you and manifest what you want.

2. Be Very Clear and Specific

Really get into all the details and note them down. Visualize, imagine, and describe how it “feels” to have achieved your Intentions as if Right Now! More on this later…

3. Assemble Your List of Intentions

Under the following headings, or adapt and re-organize the List as you desire to suit your specific needs and preferences – as long as it makes sense to you, and feels good for you.

You can do this on paper, on your computer, use the Work Sheet document I’ve prepared for you here, or use  mind mapping software.

But do commit to the written word. As Mark Victor Hansen (“Chicken Soup for the Soul” Co-Author) says – “Don’t just think it, ink it!”

Business / Career Intentions and Goals
Business Development
Career / Professional Development
Financial Goals

Personal Intentions and Goals
Health and Wellness
Personal Development
Relationship/s
Leisure time
Social Responsibility/Giving Back/Making a Difference

Under each heading, or if you’re using a table format, add a column to the right, and set 3 to 5 Specific Desired Achievements (or Goals) with timeframes.

4. Really “FEEL” Your Intentions and Get into the ‘Emotion’

By making your Intentions very specific and energized with emotion you create compelling ‘Desired Achievements’ (or Goals) to aim for, that drive you toward what you want, and equally attracts the desired outcomes to you.

Get all your senses involved. If you can’t get emotionally excited and energized by what you’re aiming for, it’s very likely you’ll find excuses to NOT achieve your Intentions.

Dr Joe Vitale talks about “Nevillizing” Your Goal, and “feeling” every part of what it “feels” like to have achieved what you’ve desired. (I’ll address this further in a future Blog post).

5. Be Very Clear About Your “WHY” Reasons You Want These Intentions

Your “WHY” Reasons will give you focus, direction, and fuel to drive through and overcome obstacles. They’ll keep you on track and give you traction.

Reality Check Questions – Does this Intention create passion in your heart and soul and a “fire in your belly”? Do you have a burning and compelling desire to achieve your Intention?

6. Be in Integrity and Authenticity

Make sure your Intentions are powered by what YOU want and desire, and fulfill your Life Purpose, and not what other people think or want.

If your Intentions are driven by seeking the approval of others, you’re likely to find excuses and ways to sabotage yourself.

Always be true to YOU by being Authentic and in Integrity.

7. Always Dream Big

Big dreams and ideas require you to grow in order to achieve them. You’ll attract the people, resources and opportunities into your life you need to make your Dreams and Intentions manifest.

8. Set Intentions that will Stretch and Grow You

Intentions facilitate your personal growth and the person you become through the process and journey. They’re a means to an end to your personal development.

Reality Test Questions – Will this Intention make me stretch, develop and grow? Will it show me how to become a bigger person on the journey to achieving it?

9. Realistic and Achievable

Don’t overestimate what you can achieve, otherwise you’ll set yourself up for failure and disappointment.

Conversely, don’t underestimate either. You want to challenge yourself, and extend yourself beyond your current limits.

By setting Intentions that are achievable (not mediocre), you place yourself in Integrity. You experience and savor Success and Achievement, and Success enables and generates further Success.

10. Provide Value and Service to Others

When your Intentions involve service and contributing to others, it also accelerates the achievement of your Intentions and Goals.

It introduces a “wind at your back factor”. People, opportunities, resources and circumstances naturally appear and are attracted to initiatives and activities that make a difference in people’s lives.

Reality Test Questions – Will achieving this Intention provide value to others? Will it genuinely help me to grow as a person and fulfill My Life Purpose?

11. Make your Intentions and Desired Achievements (or Goals) Measurable

What specifically, how much and by when (set a timeline due date). Add them to your Work Sheet.

Reality Test Questions – Does your Intention (and its target date) frighten and excite you simultaneously? Does it “push the envelope”?

Enjoy the process of setting your Intentions for 2009. Make it FUN! You can use and adapt the Work Sheet I’ve provided for you.

And, then let’s get on with achieving them and making 2010 your best year ever.

Please let me know how you go. I would love to hear from you.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Super Successful 2010!…

Blessings and Gratitude!

To Your Success!

Kathy  ;-)

Here’s How To Manifest Your Dreams Plus More – a great resource I found for you…

March 21st, 2009 Kathy Baker

Hi, here’s a great Abundance and Manifesting resource I found for you.

I came across this great Fr-ee resource recently, and thought you’d be really interested in checking it out.

I know how important the Law of Attraction is to you and Manifesting Abundance in your Life…

Almost everyone is focused now on moving forward with resolve to accomplish newly defined goals in 2009, and beyond…

Often these well-intended goals fade quickly and many return to ingrained habits.

I’m sure you’ve heard that we are meant to live the life we dream. There is actually a proven path to making our dreams a reality.

The roadmap is clear and will work if it is followed.

Allow yourself to accept the idea that your ability to experience prosperity, happiness and harmony is a process that comes from you, within you, if you know what to do.

This resource I came across – Manifest Mastermind – has developed an easy to follow FR-EE course to guide you to manifesting your dreams. You will learn the principles for moving your dreams from ideas to reality.

The process is very easy to understand:
http://budurl.com/mmm1

If you think you don’t have the time, I’d encourage you to think again.

What would you rather do, spend energy worrying and feeling stressed or breaking away from the causes of negative emotions, and switching into creating abundance and peace?

This course will increase your awareness of what is possible:
http://budurl.com/mmm1

By consistently applying what you learn you will find yourself attracting more and more of what you really want in Your Life.

You will be empowered to deliberately manifest your life in advance and learn how to remove any restrictions or blockages.

I understand that Manifest Mastermind has already established a reputation for giving tremendous value.

Now they are offering this Fr-ee Course and you can count on the material to keep flowing after you have completed the 7 Steps to Manifesting Your Dreams.

So, Get Started Now:
http://budurl.com/mmm1

I am looking forward to your amazing stories, and mine…

So “Let’s Get Started” right here:
http://budurl.com/mmm1

Many Blessings

Kathy ;-)

Have You Set Your Intentions for 2009?

February 10th, 2009 Kathy Baker

“Dreams and Intentions” are more powerful than Resolutions.  They come from the heart and spirit, from your passions…  “Desired Achievements” are more meaningful and powerful than Goals…

OK, we’re now well into February, the second month of the year.  Have you set your Intentions for 2009?

As you may have already noted, I’m a strong believer in setting your Intentions as a way of driving your goals, or preferably your ‘Desired Achievements’, supported by taking effective Inspired Action (rather than the frivolous, paper-thin, and short-lived New Year Resolutions palaver).

If you’ve already set your Intentions at the end of last year, or in early January, that’s great!  You could also use this opportunity to do a quick refresher review from the vantage point of the second month (still early) of the year.

If you haven’t set your Intentions yet, it’s never too late!  There’s no time like Right Now to take action and kick-start your new plans so you hit the ground running to achieve greater success in 2009. 

Really, any time is a good time to focus on getting clear about your Intentions and setting them in motion.

My intention and purpose is to help you with that.

Let’s make the most of this over the next few days as we progress into February and 2009.

How will you get what you want in 2009?  What have you/will you commit to doing differently in 2009 to achieve more success and Abundance in your life?

Here are a few guidelines and tips to follow, reality check questions you can use as criteria, and a Working Sheet process to use – see point 11.

1.  Identify and Set Your Intentions

Be very clear and decide what you want and desire.  Once you do, with real crystal clarity, you engage your mind and sub-conscious and the Universe can step in to set in motion, draw to you and manifest what you want.

2.  Be Very Clear About Your Reasons WHY You Want These Intentions

Your Reasons WHY will keep you on track, give you focus, direction, and the fuel and power to drive through and surmount the obstacles.

Reality Check Questions – Do you have a burning and compelling desire to achieve your Intention?  Does this Intention create passion in your heart and soul and a “fire in your belly”?

3.  Integrity and Authenticity

Make sure your Intentions are driven by what YOU want and desire and come from a place within you, are about you, right for you, and fulfill your life purpose. Not what other people think or want.

If your Intentions are driven by seeking the approval of others, you’re likely to find ways (subtle and not so subtle) to sabotage yourself, derail and not achieve them.  If your Intention is because of someone else on any level, it’s often because it’s a ‘should’ rather than a true desire.

The greatest service you can pay yourself is to be true to YOU by being authentic and in integrity

4.  Be Very Specific

Really get into all the details and note them down.  Visualize, imagine, and describe how it “feels” to have achieved your Intentions as if Right Now!

5.  Get into the ‘Emotion’ of Your Intentions

Get all your senses involved.  If you can’t get emotionally excited and energized by what you’re aiming for, it’s highly likely you’ll find a way NOT to achieve your intentions.

 
By making your Intentions very specific and energized with emotion you create compelling ‘Desired Achievements’ (or goals) to shoot for that propel you towards what you want and equally attracts the desired outcomes to you.

6.  Always Dream Big

Big dreams and ideas require you to grow in order to achieve them.  You’ll attract the people, resources and opportunities into your life you need to make your Dreams and Intentions manifest.

7.  Set Intentions that will Stretch and Grow You

Intentions facilitate your personal growth and the person you become through the process and journey.  In many respects they’re a means to an end to your personal development. 

What you learn and new skills you acquire propel you further forward.  Remember to “push the envelope”.  Become a bigger person.

Reality Test Questions – Will this Intention make me stretch, develop and grow?  Will it show me how to become a bigger person on the road to achieving it?

8.  Realistic and Achievable

Don’t overestimate what you can achieve, otherwise you’ll set yourself up for failure and disappointment. 

Conversely, don’t underestimate either.  You want to challenge yourself, “push the envelope”, and extend yourself beyond your current limits of innovation and performance.

By setting Intentions that are achievable (not mediocre), you place yourself in Integrity.  You experience and savor success and achievement.  And success enables and generates further success.

9.  Get the Balance Right Between What is Achievable and Stretches You

Don’t set yourself up for failure.  Do aim to drive yourself that extra step or steps.  When you set Intentions that are achievable but stretch you at the same time, you are also in Integrity.

10.  Provide Value and Service to Others

When your Intentions involve service and contributing to others it also accelerates the achievement of your Intentions and goals.

It introduces a “wind at your back factor”.  People, opportunities, resources and circumstances naturally appear and are attracted to initiatives and activities that make a difference in people’s lives.

Reality Test Questions – Will achieving this Intention provide value to others?  Will it genuinely help me to grow as a person and fulfill my life purpose?

11.  Write Down Your Intentions

It’s vitally important to write down your Intentions.  If they just remain in your headspace and thoughts, they tend to dissipate, dilute and lose potency and shape.   

As Mark Victor Hansen (co-author of the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series) says – “Don’t just think it, ink it!”

On your computer is absolutely perfectly fine – great in fact!

 Also, write down your Reasons WHY you want this specific Intention

.  WHY is it so important to have this in your life?

Then underpin and expand on your Intentions with specific Desired Achievements (or goals and objectives), and target timeframes.

Draw up a List of your Intentions under the following headings, or adapt the List to suit your specific needs and preferences.

Business / Career Intentions and Goals

            Business Development
            Career / Professional Development
            Financial Goals

Personal Intentions and Goals

            Health and Wellness
            Relationship/s
            Leisure time
            Personal Development
            Social Responsibility/Giving Back/
            Making a Difference

Under each heading, set 3 to 5 Specific Desired Achievements (or goals) with timeframes.

You can also use and adapt the Work Sheet you can find here. 
12.  Make your Intentions and and Desired Achievements (or goals) Measurable

What specifically, how much and by when (set a timeline due date).  Add them to your Work Sheet.

Reality Test Questions – Does your Intention (and its target date) frighten and excite you simultaneously?  Does it “push the envelope”? 

 13.  21 Days – 90 Days

It takes 21 days to form a new habit – of practicing that new habit every single day.  If you miss a day, you have to go back to day 1 and start over again.

It takes 90 days to reinforce that new habit and integrate it into your way of being.

For further information and guidance, refer to two of my articles -

90 Day Action Planning – to Kick Start or Boost Your Business or Personal Project

90 Day Action Planning – Guiding Questions to Help With Your Business, Career, or Personal Life Plans

I also will be covering some further tools to help you implement Your Intention Setting and Achieving process in upcoming blog posts.

Enjoy the process of setting your Intentions for 2009.  Make it fun!  And, then let’s get on with achieving them and making 2009 your best year to date.  Please let me know how you go.  I would love to hear from you.

Blessings and Gratitude!
