How To Plant Change in Your Life

On Saturday, at 9 AM I started planting bushes and tree saplings in Camas county. I had to clear aside some brush and long grass so that there would be sunlight for the saplings. I had to carefully dig the earth out. Once I had dug to a sufficient depth, I had to put a small mound of the Earth back in the hole, and then place the plant roots on the mound, spreading them out so that the plant would be able to grow the roots into the earth and not get tangled in its other roots. I then put my hands in the other dirt I had shoveled up and started packing it in around the plant. I had to make sure the Earth was evenly placed, in order to make sure the plant wasn’t washed away whenever it rained there next.

On Sunday, at home, I also did some gardening. We bought topsoil and manure. I placed two handfuls of topsoil and one handful of manure into a pot and then repeated until the pot was nearly filled. I then needed to create several holes where I placed seeds. I placed more soil on top of the seeds and then put the pots out on the roof, where we keep our garden. The plants will get lots of sun and water.

Both experiences can be used as a metaphor to examine the changes that we want to make in our lives. First we recognize that a change needs to occur. We clear out the underbrush of behaviors that could obscure or stop the change from occurring. We dig into ourselves until we reach the depth where the change needs to occur. We prepare ourselves for the change and then we plant it, making sure that we imprint on ourselves the necessity of the change. Then we pack in additional behaviors that can help us incorporate the change into our lives, and also make sure the change isn’t washed out by the occasional storm that hits a person’s life. Finally we support the change by giving it the sufficient stimulus and nutrients needed for it to grow and consequently allow us to manifest that change and bring us the health and wealth we deserve. Purposeful changes time and effort to implement. The payoff, seeing that change bloom and manifest results into our lives can only occur if we put the necessary effort into recognizing the need for the change as well as how to effectively incorporate it into our lives.

Learning to Market: My Adventures as a New Life Coach

Now that I’m a certified life coach, my next challenge has become how do I market myself to potential clients. The last couple weeks have been good for me, in terms of laying down some of the groundwork for doing that, but this last weekend I got to thinking about how I am marketing myself and what’s really important to me. And of course how am I going to really market that? I can’t have too broad of a focus…and right now it’s fair to say my website does display a fairly broad approach.

At the same time, I do have varied interests and I think it’s important to play to my strengths. I’ve been thinking about those strengths and I’ve boiled them down to three areas: Creativity, Wealth, and Health. And I can tie all three of those areas together, because not only do I believe in living life creatively, I also think its essential to manifesting health and wealth in a person’s life. Be on the lookout for some changes to my website in the near future, as I plan to do some revamping to reflect a closer focus on how I can help people creatively change their lives to bring in the wealth they deserve and the health to enjoy that wealth!

Book Review: Think and Grow Rich! by Napoleon Hill

This is a classic book written originally in the late twenties. It’s an excellent book to read if you want to learn some essential skills for growing a business or just learning how much your internal attitude effects the wealth you attract to your life. This book is probably one of my favorites on financial and wealth advice, because the author clearly demonstrate how so much of that potential for wealth depends on the person and how the person approaches not just wealth, but life in general. The author also explains the thirteen principles essential to success as well as how to implement them in your life. A must read for any entrepeneur!

Financial management is treated by many as an intimidating task to be dealt with as little as possible. However it doesn’t have to be that way. In this workshop, we explore some common attitudes people have about money and financial attitudes and then I show you techniques and strategies you can use to organize your finances and actually have fun learning about how to make your money work for you, instead of working for it. We’ll explore the role of individual choice and show that individual choice plays a larger role in how you handle finances than the broad economic trends.
