Does Your Business Look Like This?





MP3 File


For those of you who have been with me for several years, you have seen the growth and changes my business has undergone.  Years ago, I started out as  A Second Sight.  Now, of course, it’s Divinely Intuitive Business (DIB).

When I started online, my first squeeze page (or opt-in page) was ThinkItBeItSeeIt.com (some self branding there – lol – can you tell?)  This, then, gave way to Queen Anne Productions which (thank You, God!) gave way to DIB.

And not only has the name gone through many iterations, but so has the look.

And so, today, after many months of rewrite and loving care, Divinely Intuitive Business is unveiling its new look, and its new message.

Ta-DA!  (You’ll have to go check it out to see for yourself.  See below for the link.)

This journey has taught me so much about looking deep within to find the true, rich reason I’m in business.  And your journey in your business will do the same for you.

For example, what is it that totally lights you up?  Why do you keep doing what you do, even when you feel like you want to quit?  (Ever had one of those days?)

For me, I realized I do this work because I believe in what you do. Passionately.

I believe in you.

I love healers.  I love spiritual entrepreneurs.  You are the Divine Ones who get me up in the morning.

It is my passion to support the Divine healers and intuitives in this world in bringing your gifts to the world in a big way.   Nor some tiny, little weenie way. No indeedy.  I want to support you in expanding your reach as widely as you can imagine.

I believe your gifts are profoundly sacred and you have been called to bring them to the world in a powerful way. Helping you do that is where it’s at for me.

Years ago, when I first started this journey, I didn’t know where I was going.  I had no idea I would end up here!

It was through following my intuition, through taking action, through upleveling my business and investing in myself that I got the clarity I have today.

And that is what is available for you, too.

Your people are looking for you.  They are hungry for your message.  They want to know about you.  They want to know you.

Don’t be afraid of the journey.  Don’t be afraid of not having all the answers right now.  Don’t be afraid of not knowing how you are going to get where you’re going.

Just make a decision and start the journey.  Start taking action.  Trust your guidance and trust yourself.

When you do this, the Divine will bring to you exactly what and who you need, exactly when you need them.

 Listen first.  Then decide.  

Then act.  And trust.

Your life and your business will never be the same.

Now go get your Divine ON!

 

Hugs, Anne

Raw Food, Hay House and You





MP3 File


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

Do You Do Small Things With Great Love?

Recently I found myself in the hospital with acute appendicitis.  After my appendix was removed, I had a several-day hospital stay recovering from the surgery.

In the book “A Stroke of Insight,” Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, the author and a brain scientist experienced a stroke and recovery. Jill talks about how clearly she saw and felt different people’s energies as they came into her hospital room; sometimes their energy was very painful and sometimes it was very loving and supportive.

I realized as I went through my own experience in the hospital that I wanted be very conscious of the energy coming into and going out of the room.  I wanted a fully conscious, fully participatory experience.

There were many people who came in and out those three days – doctors, nurses, clean-up people, dietary people.  And what I discovered was this:  while everyone did their jobs with kindness, there were some people who truly stood out.

One night, in particular, I awoke, my bed drenched in sweat, and extremely nauseous with a few other issues.  I called for the nurse and she came immediately.  And with great care and compassion she helped me to the rest room, helped me get clean, with a fresh gown, and helped me cool my face with a wet washcloth.  She was filled with compassion and kindness.  Her name was Linda.  I remember her clearly.  I remember her compassion; I remember her love.

Linda called someone to change the sheets on my bed.  And she came and put the bed together.  I remember watching her from the chair.  She seemed very distracted, looking out at the nurses’ station frequently, doing her job, but something felt off to me. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but rather crawled back into bed just grateful for clean sheets and a clean gown, grateful for the kindness that had been shown to me, grateful for the anti-nausea drugs I had been given.

The next day, after the shift had changed and Linda had gone home, Diane replaced her: Diane, who had told me the day before that I could have another gown to cover up my backside as I walked down the hall.  (Apparently, I had been giving people a bit of a view of my tushie on one of my very slow walks around the halls!) She was a delightful nurse, filled with life and humor, with an easy smile.  I was delighted she was my nurse for the day and we bonded quickly.

There were several times when I needed Diane’s help during that day for I was struck with a lot of nausea all throughout the day.  I was told it was a symptom of the anesthesia that I had undergone during the surgery.  And during that day as I sweated, for I had a fever, I drenched my bed clothes again and again.  And Charita, the beautiful assistant, changed the sheets on my bed several times that day.

And what I noticed was that when she changed the sheets on my bed, she did so with such great care and love that when I looked at that bed and I knew I felt honored to be crawling into it; I felt the love of her hands, I felt the love from her heart in that bed … I felt her care and compassion.

I felt so cared for and so loved in numerous things this particular team did: the making of my bed, bringing me ice chips and juice, wetting the washcloth with cool water for me, and checking in on me to see how I was doing.  Those small acts of kindness filled me with such gratitude; I knew that I was being cared for by the Divine through these beautiful women.

In your daily life, where are you doing small things with great love?  Even if you think someone does not notice, I promise you they do.  You do not know where your beautiful seeds of love are taking root and are filling someone’s life, are filling someone’s heart, are filling someone’s mind with the love that you are.

You see, if you were to ask Diane or Linda or Charita, they would probably say they were just doing their job.  And they were. But to me, it was so much more than that.  They were being love.  They were being compassion.  They were being grace.  And their love and compassion and grace made what could have been a very difficult time transform into a delightful, beautiful experience.

Today, notice where you offer someone else your love by doing even the smallest thing with great love.  Notice where you step into being love.  Pay attention and see your world transform as those seeds of love take root and blossom.
