How To Get Clarity For Business Success
Clarity about your Business is absolutely essential to increase your results and ensure your business success.
My focus here on Clarity and Business Success is most relevant to an Internet Marketing Home Business, but at the same time also has wider relevance for Small Business as well.
As a Home Business or Small Business owner, you probably often find yourself working “in” your business rather than “on” your business.
More often than not, you have so much going on, trying to do everything yourself… As a result, you can easily lose sight of the “big picture” you need to have to increase your business results for success… Read more
Success Requires Clarity
Ah, Clarity! It’s a great subject!… I’ve been wanting to write about Clarity for absolutely ages…
Now seems like a perfect time. I’m in a really super hyper-focused Clarity phase right now, so I thought I’d “bite the bullet” and write about my thoughts and feelings on this subject…
Mind you, I’ll be honest, I’m not always as clear as I am right now, but I’m really pumped when I am, and I totally love it!…
I find that when I have Clarity, I’m way clearer about what needs to be done, and I’m far more productive in getting those things done – moving through what I know needs to be done and taking action to get me to where I want to be.
Clarity definitely unlocks your next steps to take…
I check in with my Vision and Goals, and find a greater instantaneous connection that translates quickly into Taking Action… Inspired Action, way more instantly and powerfully, without any doubt and hesitation… Read more

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.
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. >>> Read more
Intentions Planning for a Magnificent Success Achieving 2010!
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…
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:

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

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