Last week, on 11/11/11, at yes, 11:11 am, I sat down and wrote out my intentions for the next couple of years. The moon was full that day, the numbers aligned, and I wanted to take advantage of the creative energies available to me in helping me create the vision for my life.
This morning, I looked at what I wrote, and immediately went into a place of fear.
“That’s too big,” I thought. “How can I create that?”
(ok, it gets worse)
“Who am I to do all of that? It feels too big.”
Ouch.
I noticed. I listened. And I heard. That’s my fear talking. That’s not my place of faith. I wrote it in a place of faith. And now I wasn’t feeling so inspired. Instead, I felt afraid.
(By the way, this happens to all of us. It does. Really.)
I took a deep breath and recognized what was happening. And then I remembered.
Recently, as I was on Facebook, I saw a link to a YouTube channel for The Raw Food Coach. I clicked on it, and was taken to Karen Knowler (The Raw Food Coach) showing people how to make raw veggie burgers.
Now, while I’m not a raw foodist by any stretch, I am fascinated by the concept, and am a (mostly) vegetarian. (Yeah, I get it – they’re not the same, but I figured I’d get some points anyway.)
I was impressed by the professional quality of Karen’s videos. After one finished, I watched another one. Then I noticed that she has a book coming out that is being published by my favorite publishing company, Hay House.
(This was a fine example of social media marketing, by the way.)
Cool. Hmmm…
(I’m getting to the point, I promise)
Karen started several years ago as an unknown. She began coaching with a business coach, who helped her get branded, and who helped her get her message out to the world. She didn’t start where she is now.
She started where most of us start. With a passion for what we do. She wanted to make money with her passion. So she got help.
And, damn, look at her now! Let me just say, You GO, Girl! Truly awesome work and truly awesome results.
For all of us, it starts with a passion for our gifts, whether it’s writing, or healing, or speaking, or connecting, or coaching others or uplifting them or guiding them. And then we see others making money – good money – with their gifts and we think “Oh, wow, I want to do that.”
And the hunger builds… until we take action to actually build our dream.
So, here’s my question for you: what action are you taking today to build your dream? What gifts are you aching to bring to the world in a powerful way? And what steps can you take to do this?
Get going! Your world is waiting for you!
Hugs, Anne
Recently I had a day where I just could barely face the phone and make sales calls (even though I really wanted more clients). I decided to listen to your Successful Sacred Sales Conversations audio to help me get ready for my day. On the very next call, I closed a $10,000 client who excitedly stepped up to work with me and was eager to pay in full! What makes this particularly stunning is that I hadn't had a successful close like this in months, even with a good number of calls! Thank you, Anne!
Thank you so much for the EFT session we had today. I feel like I have lost about 100 lbs of old baggage. I must tell you all the releasing that was done today has healed my kidneys.
I've had problems with my kidneys for about 17 years. And I have tried kidney cleanses and drinking water and Reiki and this is truly a miracle as far as I am concerned.
You are an amazing intuitive healer, I'm so glad the Universe led me to you!
Truly amazing!
Doors are still opening from our session! I am so blessed with joy and I am seeing that opportunity is available at every hand. I am finding it incredibly easy to bring into manifestation my heart's inner most desire!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Your uplifting presence, the energy and dynamism of your voice and the power of your workshop...wow, wow, wow. You are the light.
Your CDs create such a space of joy and bliss so that it is helping us to open up and allow what we want to come to us. My daughter and I are seeing such wonderful changes in our lives!
Thank you so much for the generous gift of your time and wisdom today! I really feel like I made a real quantum leap today! My idea now feels more like a physical reality and less like a dream!
I am really looking forward to working with you!
Anne has been a superb business coach. She steered us in a direction she sensed we were intended for and it has made all the difference for us. She has kept us on track, given us guidance and remained completely accessible.
We’ve truly benefited from her experience and her ideas, her heart-centered insightfulness and, most of all, her unfaltering belief in us.
Working with Anne as a Diamond VIP client, I’ve gotten more than what I expected. Choosing her as my coach has been brilliant. She has taken me from “I have no idea what I'm doing” to “Whoopee! I've got a plan, I know where I'm going and I've got support from someone whose been there and knows how to go beyond the limitations, the fears, the ‘What if's’.”
At first I wasn't too sure because of the 'Rev thing' in front of her name. But my concern quickly dissipated. She has been AMAZING and continues to be! When you combine a great sense of humour (essential for me!) with insights that just seem to flow so easily from her (intuition on steroids!), it was a no-brainer to hire her as my coach initially and to re-hire her again.
Working with Anne, I gained new skills and tools to move my business in a new direction, how to make more money! I’m so grateful I was in her Platinum Mastermind group! Thank you, Anne!
I would highly recommend learning about how our intuition works – and working with Anne – to anybody who wants to connect to their inner guidance so they can move forward on a really solid basis.
Thank you very much, Anne!
After listening to your Health CD, I lost 7 pounds in less than a month, had fewer cravings, and wanted to exercise!
Before I worked with Rev. Anne I was completely blocked. It was impacting me physically, spiritually, and emotionally. My family’s finances had not improved in over five years. I was holding myself accountable for things that I had no control over. During our work, Rev. Anne helped me in less than a minute to figure out what my block was.
Rev. Anne is an amazing life coach and healer. Because of our working together I have been able to see things I hadn’t seen before. Wonderful things happened to my family in a very short time following our time together, including my husband getting a job back in his profession again and my winning a scholarship to attend a seminar weekend for my business!
Anne is the person I go to when I'm confused, stressed and need clarity in my business. She helps me see where I'm getting in my own way. She is an expert at helping me zero in on exactly what I need to shift out of my funk. Once that's done, I have a renewed sense of enthusiasm and am delighted to be back on track. She's gentle, yet persistent, and holds me accountable to my own true heart's desires.
Anne, you're the best teacher I've ever had! You bring clarity where there was confusion and darkness. You rock girl!
For anyone who hasn't enjoyed your affirmation CD's, they're missing out on quite a treat!
After just two sessions with Anne, I sold my first package for $1,200 to a client, and another package for $3,500 just a week later! Not only was it easy, it was fun!
The Inner Circle made a tremendous impact on my life and it changed me in numerous ways.
Before I started this coaching program, I was pretty confused and overwhelmed with my what direction to take my healing practice and how to market it and get the word out to people who would be interested in working with me.
Once I started the course, I got some great support from Rev. Anne in terms of direction and the focus for the marketing part of the business and the group itself.
I got the support I needed to help me boost my self- confidence and also to boost my self-image as a powerful intuitive.
I’m so glad I did it!
Anne helped me use a more simple process for strategy sessions with prospective clients. In a recent session with a potential client, she signed up for my highest priced package, despite the fact that she stated that she didn't have money to invest in coaching right now!
Thank you, Anne!
I am filled with awe to think of the immense influence you and your incredible gifts have had on me, and the degree to which I have grown personally and spiritually since working with you. I have gone from not knowing what intuition is to completely trusting the information I receive and making confident decisions to act upon that information.
My business - and my life - have both profited in innumerable ways because of working with you!
You are amazing and gifted! Thank you!
I took part in Anne’s Platinum Mastermind group and attended the retreat. It was 2 1/2 amazing days where I got so much support and love and direction and help with my branding and marketing. It was phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal.
Loving your Unlimited Wealth CD. I’ve been listening daily. Received unexpected check in the mail yesterday! Thank you God!
I have absolutely adored working with you, Anne. You have had a monumental impact on my life. When I first came to you I had so many issues, and so things going on. You brought so much clarity to all of those situations. I have learned I can manifest in ways that I never dreamt, which has shocked me so totally and made me feel so powerful. This was so new for me, and oh wow, it is so freeing to realize this!
Since listening to your Wealth CD, I have received two promotions (the second of them was to my ideal job)!
I’ve just participated in Anne Presuel’s Platinum Mastermind and you know, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. I realized how truly connected I am to what I’m doing with my work and how and why I’m doing it. I highly recommend it to everyone!
I simply adore your CDs and recommend them so highly!
I participated in Anne's Platinum Mastermind and just had the most amazing 2 ½ days at our retreat. It was absolutely fabulous! I'm so glad I came ... all the way from England!
It’s so true that we write our lists and goal from a place of faith. Then start edititing them from a place of fear.
What I’m doing to build my dream is trying to define my message and figure out the best way I can help those who read my blog.
Very true Anne. So often our fear gets in the way. I know mine can do but I’m working on it! And I wonder if sometimes it’s the fear of success as much as the fear of failure that holds us back?
Exactly perfect message for today. Thanks.
