Where Do I Start?
If you’re a regular reader of this blog, or are a subscriber to my ezine, it’s quite likely that you’re an advancing person. That is, you’re always moving towards ‘more life’ in everything you do.
You want to live the richest, fullest, happiest, most deeply satisfying life you can imagine.
You have beautiful, life-expanding dreams for yourself, and you want those dreams to come true.
But it’s also possible that you’re feeling SO overwhelmed by everything that you want to do. In fact, you’re not even sure where to start… so you don’t. (Start, that is.)
So, would you like a little coaching advice about where to start?
Well, my first piece of advice is to listen to your intuition. Give yourself a good half-hour to clear your mind, and then sit and think, and FEEL. Consider your preferences and then listen to what your ‘gut’ tells you. Having a pencil and large notepad with you is a very good idea.
But if you’re overworked, stressed, tired and foggy headed (or feel as though you’re going around the bend from ‘overthinking’), it could be that even doing the above seems too difficult.
In which case, I’d recommend carving out some PROPER time in your diary – like a whole day, at the least – to devote fully to getting crystal clear on what you want, to brainstorm ideas, to prioritise, and to create an action plan.
You can do this yourself, but doing it with the help of a trusted friend or a coach can give you much-needed perspective and encouragement. I’ll soon be making myself available for VIP Days, where I’ll help you get clear on what it is that you really want, start eliminating limiting beliefs, and create a very do-able, exciting action plan to start bringing those dreams of yours into the real world.
(To be one of the first to know about these amazing VIP Days, head here and leave your details. And, listen – I know goal-setting can be a big turn-off for some people because the process can feel forced and very ‘masculine’, but in our day together it’s all about YOU and what YOU want out of life, not what society or your peers or family say you should want. You’ll have time to think, and breeeaaathe, and dream, and create a plan that’s perfect for you…)
Then, you can start going through a conscious creation process, starting with visualisation – if you’d love help with this, check out the beautiful Your House of Abundance process.
However, if you’re feeling too exhausted (and perhaps even sick) to contemplate lofty or even not-so-lofty dreams, then I advise that your first focus be your health.
Fabulous health is at the core of a great life. It underpins everything. And we often don’t realise how valuable our health is until we become unwell or injured.
So if that’s you – make your health an absolute priority. You’ll then be able to think clearly, and will have the energy to take action on your other dreams.
By the way, sometimes people get ‘put off’ the idea of becoming healthier, because they think it takes a lot of money to do so. If you’re switching from eating cheap processed food to buying organic fruits and veggies, and supplements, then, yes, it can cost a bit more than you’re now paying for food. And if you join a gym then there are fees, and personal health coaching can be a substantial investment.
But if money is tight for you right now, and you know getting healthy is a top priority so that you can start heading for your dreams, you can make free or low-cost health changes now.
These include:
- going for walks (even if just around your back garden, or briskly around your house);
- planting a few organic vegetable seeds;
- purchasing (and using!) a book such as Raw Foods on a Budget;
- generally cutting back on unhealthy foods (even if they’re cheap); and
- asking an ‘advancing’ friend to be your ‘accountability buddy’ when it comes to simple health goals you set for yourself.
Once your health starts to improve, you’ll have more energy to create the money you want, which means you can then invest more in organics and superfoods, personal trainers or coaches, if that feels right for you.
So you now have some guidance as to ‘where to start’. But you know deep in your soul what’s needed. I just hope my advice has helped clear some of the fog, and has helped put you on the road towards creating and living a life you truly, truly love.
Are You Ready to Live Rich?
Is that you in the pic above?
Do you feel as though you’re drowning in your clutter, with little hope of finding a way out?
Perhaps you also feel that your finances are down there with you, stagnant under all the clutter?
Well, I’m here to help.
I’ve just released the home-study version of The Living Rich Declutter program, a transformational five-week online program that takes you from overwhelm to clarity.
You are going to LOVE this program. Check it out at:
If you truly are ready to get your clutter problem sorted once and for all, you need this program. And it’s really like two programs in one, because it shows you how to handle your physical clutter as well as your money clutter.
Come and see what happened to me when I cleared a heap of clutter before a house move:
(Oh, and there’s a very special, limited-time-only offer – head here to make sure you don’t miss out: www.livingrichdeclutter.com.)
Mwuh!
It’s (Nearly) Time to Clean Up!
How’s your week panning out? Are you on top of things, or are things getting on top of you?
Sometimes clutter has a way of getting on top of us, of weighing us down with its dead energy. It feels so *blah* to look at clutter in our physical environment, doesn’t it?
But when we declutter, we release that negative energy and let in fresh, clear, prosperous energy – and you KNOW how good it feels when you accomplish a really good declutter!
So, if you need to declutter your physical environment, get excited.
Very soon, I’ll be releasing a home-study version of a course called The Living Rich Declutter program. In that program, I take the ‘overwhelm’ out of decluttering, and show you how to declutter for prosperity.
If you’d like to be one of the first to know about this sensational course, simply leave your details here:
I’ll let you have access to this course before its official release!
Have a fabulous rest of week, won’t you? (Keep smiling, and be kind to everyone, including yourself!)
Dream Life Affirmations are Here!
Do you realise the power of your thoughts?
Just reflect for a moment. What are your dominant thoughts? Do you tend to be positive and optimistic, or fearful and pessimistic? Or perhaps you’re a mix of the two, depending?
Many of us have old ‘tapes’ running in our head, from our past, that limit the actions we take today. Those same thoughts also affect the way we feel, which determines the type of vibration we emit.
Why not give yourself a great chance of creating a *dream life* future by starting to change your predominant thoughts?
It’s easy to do this with affirmations. They’re just one tool in implementing change, but they’re a very powerful tool.
Today, I’ve launched a beautiful affirmations product called Dream Life Affirmations.
I could tell you more about this here, but why not head over to the information page to discover more?
For one week only, you can invest in these life-changing affirmations at a very special rate, so head over there now to snap up yours!
By the way, you ARE allowed to even consider having a *dream life*. Did you come down to earth to live a not-dream life? Didn’t think so! So what are you waiting for?
You Wear It Well!
Although, if you currently DON’T wear it well, you might want to join me this Thursday, when I interview Briony Croft (that’s Briony, in the pic above), personal stylist and owner of Alla Moda Styling.
Briony will be spilling the beans on how to ‘dress well’ – because when you feel good in your clothes, you beam out a powerful, supremely confident vibration.
Our interview is called ‘Looking Good, Feeling Good: Dressing to Boost Your Vibration & Attract Success’ (sounds amazing, doesn’t it?!).
The Green Smoothie Glow
This is a view of the blender (the trusty, hardworking Vita-Mix) that whips up my green smoothies at any time of day.
Just look at the gorgeous colour of those greens! These particular greens are fresh from my garden, and are full of zingy, vibrant life force. They’re especially good for us to eat in their raw state, because when we take in living foods, we take on their life force. This means that you experience more energy, my friend. And who doesn’t want that?
Oh, and having a higher vibration means you naturally attract other ‘things’ of high vibration – you know, the good stuff! I do love that law of attraction…
If you’ve heard about green smoothies but think they sound kind of gross, then I’m happy to assure you that they taste good. They contain fruit, and there’s no milk, so it’s kind of like a fruit cocktail, but with an earthy edge. Go on, give them a try!
If you don’t already have a copy of my free Rich Radiant Real Green Smoothie Glow recipe e-booklet, you can grab it from the Freebies page. Try a recipe or two on for size. Take the plunge, and experience a surge of energy.
Here’s to your health! (Excuse me while I go whip up another batch of green lovin’…)
Your Personal Environment – It Matters!
If a seed is grown in optimal conditions, it will grow to its full potential, and flourish. A sight to behold!
Now, imagine that you are a seed. If you plant yourself in suboptimal conditions, you simply won’t reach the potential that is latent within you.
And that would be a shame.
We may not have been responsible for the conditions in which we were raised (when we were ‘seedlings’, so to speak!), but as adults we are now responsible for our personal environment and for our growth. Completely and utterly.
This is liberating and empowering, but it’s potentially scary, too.
So, what’s your environment like? Are you nurturing yourself and your dreams? Is your environment set up to support you?
Or do you feel overwhelmed and negative a lot of the time?
You don’t need me to tell you that in order for the law of attraction to bring wonderful stuff into your life, you need to be sending out a positive vibration. Honey, it’s universal law.
So, if your personal environment could do with a little love, here are five fabulous ways to create a nurturing environment that supports and inspires you.
Read
Become a sponge for personal development information. Have life-transforming books as your bedside reading. (Catch a glimpse of some of my recent bedtime reading here.)
Affirm
Listen to affirmations audios while you exercise or do jobs around the house (by the way, I’m in the process of creating a fabulous audio of rich, radiant, real affirmations – keep an eye on your inbox for details!). Also, write down your favourite affirmations and have them in easy view throughout your day. Let’s build fresh neural pathways that affirm beliefs we’d like to have!
Go Mobile
Create a mobile personal development library by playing positive audios and CDs in your car (why not load Rich Radiant Real teleseminars onto your MP3 player, and connect it to your car’s stereo?).
Get Coached
Even if you aren’t yet ready to invest in personal, one-on-one coaching, I’d advise being part of a group-coaching program. Get yourself coached in any way that you can, but remember that you’ll get the very best from coaching when you invest money in it – if you receive free coaching, you’re not as likely to give it all that you’ve got. Sometimes you’ve just got to invest, in order to reap the harvest.
Connect with Your Tribe
Your family and current friends don’t understand why you’re changing or why you’re trying to ‘think positive’ all the time? Then shore yourself up by connecting regularly with people who share your values and beliefs. You can do this in many ways, but a highly accessible way is to participate in online forums with positive people – for example, see my recent blog post about Jack Canfield’s Inner Circle membership club, where you can connect with like-minded people in the club’s forum.
So, there you have it. Five high-quality ways to support yourself in creating a life you love!
Remember, we all have the chance to ‘bloom where we’re planted’. As an adult, you get to choose your thoughts, your beliefs and the influences you allow into your life.
Are you going to allow yourself to bloom into your full magnificence? (I believe in you. I know you can do it, with the right environment!)
Keeping Yourself Inspired & Informed
The people we listen to, hang out with and learn from make a huge difference in our lives.
I mean, it makes sense, really.
If you hang out with whiners, complainers and do-nothing-muchers, it’s natural that you’ll take on some of their energy. But do you want that in your life? I don’t!
So, for many years now, I’ve made a point of gravitating towards positive people, and to learning from ‘the masters’ who have accomplished what I want to do. (And now I’m also being that ‘master’ for other people!)
One of the mentors I’ve followed for a number of years is Jack Canfield. Jack is a teacher in the best-selling DVD The Secret (Extended Edition)
He’s quite ‘linear’ in his approach (being a guy), but he just talks such practical common sense, and he lives his life with integrity, living by the principles he espouses.
For the past four years or so, he’s been holding monthly ‘Ask Jack’ calls, for free, whereby people can send him a question and he’ll answer it on the call. He dispenses heaps of sage advice, and stories from his own experience and that of people he knows, all to help you break through your blocks and get to ‘where you want to be’.
Anyone can listen to the live calls for free, but this year, Jack created the ‘Inner Circle’ club. As a member of the club, you get to download the MP3 audio recording of the call, so that you can listen to it anytime, anywhere. (I LOVE that!) You also get a monthly video workshop from Jack, and a recording of a private interview with featured guests (this month it will be Tim Ferris, of The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
I’m a long way along my own personal development path, but I make it a point to keep learning, and to keep being inspired. As an old colleague of mine used to say, ‘every day’s a day at school!’.
If you’d like to join me (and Jack), head here to have a look. At only US$19.95 per month, membership is a steal!
It’s SO important to keep soaking up positive information and inspiration. Many of us grew up in a culture (and perhaps a family) that had limited beliefs that just don’t serve us, so ‘reprogramming’ yourself with wisdom from people like Jack (and, ahem, moi) is crucial. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that – if you’re struggling to create a life you love – your happiness depends on it!

It Really Does Pay to Make a Decision
Have you ever had trouble making a decision?
Yeah, me too.
Those of us with perfectionist tendencies often experience pain when faced with a decision that needs to made.
The thing that paralyses us is ‘what if I make the WRONG decision’?
So we hem and haw and go back and forth. We meditate, ruminate and vacillate.
We put ourselves through pain, and when we finally force ourselves to make a decision, we worry about it, and sometimes backtrack and undo the decision.
Living with indecision means that we live in a constant state of uncertainty.
And, really, that’s just not pleasant, is it?
Well, what if there was no such thing as a wrong decision?
What if every decision you took was ‘right’, for where you are right now? Even if ‘the worst’ happened, and everything blew up, backfired and bit you on the bum?
I’m here to tell you that you’d still be OK. You’d get through it. And you’d come out the other side with some valuable information, a life lesson that would help guide you further along your path.
The universe loves clarity. It responds well to clarity. It follows strong, bold, powerful energy, and when you make a firm decision, the universe responds and starts drawing to you what you need.
It’s also important to remember that if you get too emotional when making a decision, and you create a lot of angst, the law of attraction works to bring you more of the same.
A good approach to making a decision is to be thoroughly proactive, to be in your power. To be strong, and bold, but smart.
Step 1
Gather information and really think about the pros and cons of each decision you could make (but don’t agonise).
Step 2
Give yourself a little ‘chewing time’, if you need it, but don’t let that process drag on.
Step 3
Hold your hand on your heart and ask for a ‘yes’ or ‘no’, paying attention to what your stomach feels like. Intuition often reveals itself as a ‘gut instinct’.
This ‘head + heart’ process works for me. Would you like to try it? Be warned that your subconscious will try to hold you back, to keep you safe (that’s it’s job, so thank it for trying to look after you!), but if decision-making is a problem for you, then you need to start being very bold, to start overriding your subconscious programming, and to start thinking of yourself as a good decision-maker.
Once you’ve made a decision, stick with it, unless evidence overwhelmingly shows you that you should make another decision – but give it time. Sometimes you just need to ‘take a deep breath and jump’, to make a decision, to see how it plays out.
But don’t ever think of your original decision as being ‘wrong’. It was just a stepping stone to get you where you needed to go, to give you feedback.
You know, I often find that people who have trouble making decisions also have trouble with clutter. This makes sense, when you think about it, because you have to make decisions about what to keep, and where to keep it. If you don’t make decisions with your ‘stuff’, then everything builds up, overwhelm kicks in, and nothing gets dealt with. You see the piles of clutter lying around and you feel worse, and your home starts to gather negative, stagnant energy around that clutter.
So, I’d like to invite you to be part of a very special program I’m running this month. It’s all about decluttering, so you’ll be getting to practice your new decision-making skills and get rid of your clutter at the same time!
If this highly supportive program ‘speaks’ to you, then I’d encourage you to make a decision about whether to join us.
To discover more about this program, which is called The Living Rich Declutter, simply head here…
Wishing you clarity and decisiveness, and all ‘the good stuff’ that is naturally attracted to you when you live this way.
A Penthouse in Paris
You have GOT to watch this amazing video! The amazing Megan Castran, of Jewelchic, is a manifestor extraordinaire!
Not only did she have Oprah come to her house for dinner (‘taco night’) on Oprah’s recent tour of Australia, but she continues to attract truly spectacular experiences – such as an upgrade to the penthouse suite at the George V Four Seasons Hotel in Paris!
The best part about it is that she is SO excited about the upgrade, and has such incredible appreciation.
I tell ya, when you live in a state of super-high vibration – which Megan certainly does – you naturally attract amazing experiences and people into your life. She radiates so much happiness and enthusiasm, so she can’t but help receive that (and more) in return.
I actually feel as though I’m sharing this incredible experience with Megan in this video, down to tasting the raspberry chocolate! Watch, and be utterly inspired… (PS Check out the view from the bathroom!)
Joanne's coaching was exactly what I needed to help me focus my precious time and money on finding work and making money! What I like most about Joanne’s coaching is that it's gentle, supportive and empathetic, rather than pushy and 'ra-ra-ra'”
...if there’s something that you’ve been putting off doing, because it’s so big and overwhelming, then by coaching with Joanne you'll definitely find a way to do it, to finally reach your goal.”
