ARE
YOU EXPECTING SUCCESS?
CARA'S
CORNER
When
you are aligned with your highest good, the natural flow of ideas,
concepts, and productivity is enormous. I think I'm aligned…
In
ten days I created a new web site "Spirit In My Pocket, A
One Stop Spiritual Refill" that is so filled with spiritual
concepts, ideas, resources, and opportunities that I know people
will come again and again to replenish and refresh themselves.
It has been exciting to put together.
I
have a new offering, you are invited to join me for The Success
Magnets Self Mastery Call that will be held the first Tuesday
of every month. It's a time for information coaching, mutual support
and cheering each other on.
If
you'd like to lay a very strong foundation under your business
perhaps you'll join me for The
Match Game, Finding the Perfect Business Venue for Your Passion
and Talent which begins September 12th.
And
my new e-book Sweet
Talk Yourself To Success has some great ideas for creating
change.
I
set August aside to be Product Development Month and it has been
that.
Oh, and if you know of anyone who's ready to expand their business
on the internet, please let them know about me. I'm ready, when
they're ready!
Warmly,
ARE
YOU EXPECTING SUCCESS?
I've
been studying prosperity consciousness yet again. It's very clear
to me that what we focus on, what we get excited about, where
we place our passion and expectation is exactly what we will draw
to us.
If
we worry about lack of money, or becoming sick, or feeling unloved,
that is exactly what we will attract. But when we focus on the
feeling that prosperity brings, the joy of a healthy body, and
the enrichment that comes from being loved, that is exactly what
we attract more of.
So,
what exactly are you attracting in your business? What are you
expecting for yourself? What are you focusing on?
The
Quality of Your Choices Affects the Quality of Your Business
My
philosophy is to buy the very best you can afford of whatever
it is you need at the time. For instance, I invested in Easy
Web Automation, an affordable and powerful shopping cart system
because its what people doing way more business than I am are
using so I know it will let me grow as big as I can imagine. For
instance, it stores and downloads e-books, it figures shipping
on hard goods, it has an autoresponder system, it tracks up to
10,000 members of your database (think about that one…) it
has an affiliate program and an ad tracking system. I set myself
up with the most complete package I could find because I'm thinking
big.
Yes,
I might or might not be able to find less expensive combinations
to do the same thing but that's the point. It would be combinations,
not one-stop-everything-I-need.
Plus
I'm thinking big.
In
the past year I have invested in Certified
Teleclass Leader Training , The
Product Factory where I learned to create signature products
and Traffic
School, where I learned about traffic and conversion. It's
been an intense year of learning. But already I have expanded
my business by teaching others some of what I learned. I have
made my selection of teachers that I follow through their e-magazines
and course offerings. I watch the big guys and gals at work and
adapt some of their ideas into my own offerings. I am constantly
learning and assimilating ideas.
As
I watch others in action, I expand my own thinking, my own plans,
my own expectations. I see myself as successful and in deep service
to others.
And
the Universal Mind sees me that way too.
On
the "buy-now" buttons on my web site I now use the word
"invest" for that is what people do when they purchase
something from me—they invest in their knowledge, their understanding,
and probably in their life experience. Do you look at a purchase
as an investment in your future? Do you look at what you have
to offer as an investment for other people? Do you value what
you offer?
There
is something called "the cost of doing business" that
every businessperson expects. They figure it into their business
plan. They allow for it when calculating profits. If you are one
of the many who are coming into your own business without a business
background, you may not think to factor this in. But every training
you take, the quality of the web site you invest in, the shopping
cart system you buy, the professional book cover you invest in,
the expertise of the copy on your marketing material, are all
simply part of the cost of doing business. And the quality of
your choices, greatly affects the quality of your business.
Call
it start up money, call it cost of doing business, call it investing
in your business, but see it as investing in your self and your
future. And aim high. Think big. Expect greatness! Lay a solid
foundation for your business that has room to grow with you so
you can expand to levels beyond your wildest dreams.
Are
you thinking big enough? Are you planning for success? Are you
expecting success? Then everything you select, every class you
take, every book you read, every choice you make, every product
you produce must be in alignment with your vision of success.
Think big and it is yours!
