You’ve  already  heard  me  say,  mind  development  for  mompreneurs  is  a  vital  contribu>ng  element  for  success.  Mind  development  takes  into  considera>on  the  mind’s  maximum  performance  or  its  cogni>ve  func>ons  such  as  memory,  logic  thinking,  emo>on  and  percep>on.  In  her  book,  “Total  Memory  Makeover,”  and  when  I  had  the  

opportunity  to  speak  with  her  during  the  Mission  to  Mind  Mastery,  Marilu  emphasizes  the  importance  of  an>cipa>on,  par>cipa>on  and  recollec>on.  Let’s  take  a  closer  look  at  how  these  three  concepts  can  be  applied  to  the  world  of  women  entrepreneurs  like  you  who  will  benefit  greatly  from  a  commitment  to  mind  development  for  an  op>mized,  magnificent  life.  

An>cipa>on  is  geHng  ready  to  remember  according  to  Marilu  Henner.  If  we  consider  an>cipa>on  as  a  mind  health  tool,  it  means  preparing  your  mind  to  use  its  cogni>ve  reserve  called  memory.  Memory  can  be  used  when  you  are  planning  for  your  business  transac>ons,  applying  strategies  that  you  have  tried  and  tested  before,  and  even  recalling  what  works  for  your  business  and  what  doesn’t.  Marilu  encourages  individuals  to  live  in  the  present  we  open  our  senses  to  the  s>muli  in  our  lives,  it  supports  us  to  build  memories  that  can  be  retrieved.  

Par>cipa>on  is  the  act  of  organizing  your  memories,  allowing  yourself  to  go  back  to  the  track  of  your  life  called,  “the  past”  and  learning  beJer  through  what  s>cks  into  your  memory.  With  mind  development,  you  begin  to  grasp  the  need  to  maintain  mind  health  so  that  you  can  use  it  to  its  maximum  poten>al.  That  is  why  you  use  your  thoughts  in  organizing  memories  that  provide  meaning  into  your  life.  Memories  that  bring  you  back  to  past  experiences  of  success  and  happiness  are  useful  in  keeping  your  mind  health  intact  and  provide  you  with  posi>ve  energy  that  can  propel  you  into  beJer  mind  development  full  of  new  ideas,  op>mism  and  vibrant  enthusiasm.

Recollec>on  is  the  maintenance  and  enhancement  of  your  memory.  When  you  think  of  mind  development  to  keep  your  mind  health  at  its  op>mum  level,  you  need  to  sharpen  your  memory  and  maintain  its  full  capacity.  One  way  to  stand  out  is  to  be  the  best  mompreneur  you  can  be  for  the  area  that  you  are  passionate  about  and  to  maintain  your  sharp  and  vivid  ability  to  recall  stories  and  the  experiences  of  those  you  serve.  Thus,  a  healthy  mind  results  in  a  memory  that  contributes  to  increased  fulfillment,  connec>on  to  others,  and  improved  prac>ces  in  your  business.  It’s  worth  it  to  pay  aJen>on  to  ways  to  maximize  your  mind  and  sharpen  your  memory.  What  are  your  goals?

Having Trouble Remembering? 3 Total Memory Makeover Tips

One  of  the  most  neglected  parts  of  the  entrepreneurial  business  system  is  con>nuity  of  communica>on  with  their  community.  It  is  oRen  uninten>onal  however  the  poten>al  impact  on  business  growth  could  be  quite  significant.    We  are  all  busy  and  there  is  a  considerable  amount  that  requires  our  >me  and  efforts  –  par>cularly  during  the  ini>al  start-­‐up  phase.  Here  are  some  reasons  why  you  need  to  be  conscious  of  your  connec>ons.

★ A  small  percentage  of  people  are  actually  seeking  what  you  are  offering  right  now.  

★ About  1/3  of  those  in  your  community  have  conscious  awareness  of  their  real  problem  and  how  your  solu>on  might  serve  them  in  this  regard.

★  About  1/3  have  the  awareness  of  their  needs  and  your  solu>on  but,  for  a  variety  of  reasons,  it’s  not  the  right  >me.  

★ A  percentage  of  your  community  will  not  be  right  for  what  you  are  offering.

Many  expert  marketers  will  agree  with  this  reality  -­‐  if  you’re  not  following  up,  you’re  closing  the  door  on  a  large  number  of  people  that  could  very  well  be  clients  in  the  future.  How  many  >mes  have  you  listened  to  or  learned  from  someone  and  not  purchased  their  product/service  un>l  a  year  or  more  later?  It’s  happened  to  many  of  us.  We  follow  them  in  response  to  something  they’ve  said  that  we  share  an  interest  in  or  want  to  know  more  about  but  we  either  don’t  have  (or  recognize)  a  specific  need  un>l  later.  It’s  the  way  life  works.  There  are  so  many  factors  that  influence  a  person’s  buying  decision.  The  more  skilled  you  become  in  your  marke>ng,  the  beJer  you  might  become  at  assis>ng  prospec>ve  customers  iden>fy  the  bridge  you  offer  between  their  issue  and  the  experiences  that  they  seek  to  have  in  their  lives  or  business.    

With  consistent  value  being  provided  and  deepened  rela>onships,  you’ll  be  in  the  forefront  of  their  mind.  If  you  are  able  to  demonstrate  your  capacity  to  support  them  in  the  areas  that  are  needed,  why  wouldn’t  they  say  “yes”  

when  the  >me  is  right?  If  you  aren’t  there,  they  will  simply  go  to  the  person  who  appears  to  meet  their  needs  and  are  visible.  

Three  Things  to  Remember:1. Ensure  that  you  have  a  way  to  encourage  poten>al  

clients  to  provide  their  contact  informa>on  (lead  resource).

2. Develop  a  system  to  stay  connected  with  those  who  will  likely  not  purchase  from  you  immediately.

3. Get  to  know  your  community,  share  resources  and  valuable  content  with  them,  and  communicate  the  solu>ons  provided  through  your  services.

Connec:on  Affirma:on:  I  am  a  channel  of  service  for  those  meant  to  be  supported.

“If you’re not following up, you’re closing the door on a large number of people that could very well be clients in the future.”

Children,  by  nature,  start  off  in  the  world  as  conscious  beings.  They  no>ce  all  that  surrounds  them,  they  find  joy  in  the  smallest  things,  and  they  are  oRen  more  sensi>ve  to  their  seHngs.  With  this  in  mind,  the  goal  to  raise  conscious  children  begins  with  prac>ces  that  ensure  that  they  remain  conscious,  as  opposed  to  being  drawn  into  the  magnitude  of  unconsciousness  that  is  prevalent  in  our  society  as  well  as  the  technology  that  contributes  to  unconsciousness  and  repe>>ve,  trance-­‐like  behavior.    The  most  powerful  form  of  paren>ng  is  leading  by  your  example.  Not  necessarily  what  you  say  or  do  with  them,  but  your  state  of  consciousness  in  daily  ac>vi>es.  That’s  what  establishes  the  founda>on  for  guiding  your  children  to  con>nue  to  be  present  and  alive  throughout  their  lives.  It  is  a  priceless  lesson  that  will  strengthen  the  core  of  their  mind.  With  awareness  comes  choices.  With  awareness  comes  increased  possibili>es.  With  awareness  and  a  healthy  mind  comes  greater  social  consciousness  and  integrity.  

Things  to  Avoid:1. Limi>ng  outdoor  ac>vity.  Encourage  your  child  to  

experience  the  natural  world.    This  puts  them  in  touch  with  deeper  levels  of  their  own  being.

2. Reduce  television  watching.  Eckert  Tolle  said  that  “watching  television  is  a  state  of  semi-­‐comotose  hypnosis.”  

3. Being  cri>cal  of  sensi>vi>es  to  their  surroundings.  Help  them  to  manage  their  emo>ons  and  experiences.

4. Ignoring  the  wonder  they  express  with  the  small  things  in  life.  Share  in  their  enthusiasm  and  interest.

Applying  the  4  Steps  to  Conscious  Growth  to  Your  Children:1. Aspira:on:  Have  the  sincere  desire  to  guide  your  

children  to  be  conscious  individuals2. Finding  Truth:  Help  them  to  be  true  to  themselves  and  

to  live  from  that  place3. Inten:on:  Set  your  inten>on  for  this  aspect  of  your  

paren>ng.  Your  inten>on  will  support  your  commitment  and  determina>on.  Teach  your  children  to  establish  inten>ons  for  their  day.

4. AHen:on/Focus:  Incorporate  prac>ces  that  will  create  consciousness  in  day-­‐to-­‐day  experiences.  For  example,  promote  quiet  >me  and  quiet  reflec>on.  

Gra>tude  sustains  the  highest  levels  of  consciousness.  Be  an  example  of  acceptance  and  apprecia>on  –  beginning  with  themselves  and  extending  to  everything  that  surrounds  them.  Living  consciously  is  an  invaluable  way  of  being  with  rewards  too  great  to  measure.  It  is  a  giR  that  benefits  children  for  a  life>me.

See  if  you  recognize  yourself  in  this  leJer  wriJen  to  me:

Dear  Carol,I  have  great  friends  and  a  wonderful  family  but  I  dread  going  to  work  every  day  and  can’t  wait  for  the  clock  to  strike  five  so  that  I  can  get  out  of  there.    I  no>ce  that  some>mes  that  frame  of  mind  stays  with  me  most  of  the  night.  On  the  week  end  I  go  out  with  my  friends  which  energizes  me  but  before  I  know  it,  I  am  lying  in  my  bed  on  a  Sunday  evening  feeling  the  tension  rise  as  I  embark  on  yet  another  week.  I  feel  unfulfilled,  unappreciated  and  unmo>vated  day  in  and  day  out.  I  wonder  if  my  life  would  be  different  if  I  were  in  a  rela>onship.  Would  you  say  that  I  have  limits  to  living  my  magnificent  life  in  the  present  while  I  work  towards  star>ng  my  own  business?  Obviously.  What  can  I  do?Thanks.Jus-ne  K.  (name  changed)

My  Response:Hello  Jus-ne,Nice  to  hear  from  you.  The  good  news  is  that  you’ve  come  to  an  awareness  that  is  missed  by  so  many-­‐  life  that  is  void  of  a  magnificent  existence.  Given  the  amount  of  waking  hours  spent  in  the  work  seHng,  it  is  so  important  to  make  your  daily  experience  sa>sfying.    

★ It  sounds  as  though  you  have  three  op>ons  to  consider.  Regardless  of  the  decision  you  do  make,  you  will  need  a  clear  sense  of  what  your  great  story  consists  of.  Start  by  exploring  your  inner  vision,  strengths,  values  and  passions.  Then  assess  if  your  current  posi>on  provides  an  opportunity  to  meet  or  fulfill  these  characteris>cs.  You  can  then  use  this  informa>on  to  make  a  decision  as  to  how  you  will  proceed.

★ Change  your  percep>on  and  approach:  Create  an  experience  that  feeds  you  and  allows  your  magnificent  self  to  be  present.    

★ Change  your  role:  Is  it  possible  to  connect  what  you  are  passionate  about  and  your  unique  characteris>cs  to  an  alternate  posi>on  within  the  company?

★ Change  your  job:  If  you’ve  considered  the  first  two  op>ons,  you  might  take  a  look  at  another  organiza>on  where  your  best  self  can  be  united  with  the  responsibili>es.  

Give  yourself  sufficient  >me  to  reflect  and  act  upon  what  will  help  you  to  improve  your  daily  work  experience.  As  I’ve  stated,  to  be  within  your  muted  self  for  eight  hours  each  day,  then  try  to  release  your  magnificent  self  for  the  remaining  >me  does  not  work  well  in  the  long  run.  Our  ability  to  be  ac>ve  contributors  to  our  life  experiences  is  vital.  I  am  not  saying  that  it  is  easy…just  worth  the  effort.  Your  mind  is  depending  on  you  for  enriched  moments.  

More  than  half  of  our  life  is  spent  in  our  place  of  employment  (business  or  a  job).  It  is  such  a  tragedy  that  a  considerable  amount  of  people  con>nue  to  go  through  the  mo>ons  in  their  careers,  day  in  and  day  out.  There  is  no  enthusiasm,  no  passion,  and  no  inspira>on.  They  simply  turn  up,  put  in  their  day  and  leave  –  followed  by  a  similar  fate  the  following  day.  It  seems  like  a  misuse  of  >me.    

People  pursue  jobs  for  an  assortment  of  reasons.  More  oRen  than  not,  monetary  needs  are  the  one  principal  considera>on.    You  will  not  hear  me  suggest  that  anyone  should  abandon  all  cau>on  and  pursue  a  job  that  you  love,  without  considera>on  to  how  modest  the  salary  may  be.  We  all  agree  that  money  is  important.

RWhat  I  would  like  to  emphasize  is  that  money  cannot  be  the  sole  factor  where  your  magnificence  is  concerned.  To  have  a  maximized  life  requires  that  you  to  be  fully  present.    For  women  to  simply  exist  without  perceived  purpose  for  an  extensive  period  each  day  contradicts  the  principles.    True  magnificence  in  your  career  comes  from  knowing  that  your  work  has  made  some  difference  which  then  s>mulates  and  inspires  you  every  day.  

In  the  end,  most  people  find  that  this  contributes  to  their  sense  of  meaning.  When  you  achieve  your  highest  poten>al,  extend  these  rewards  to  make  a  posi>ve  difference,  magnificence  becomes  the  natural  result.

 Is  Your  Need  to  Be  Liked  Exhaus:ng  You?  Break  Free  Forever  with  These  7  StepsMagnificence  in  life  is  derived  from  mastering  the  life  that  you  are  living  as  fully  as  possible.    If  you  cannot  truly  express  yourself,  you  are  confined.    Living  with  constric>ons  of  your  character  and  essence  is  an  unhealthy  place  to  be.    It’s  a  place  that  many  mompreneurs  find  themselves  due  to  an  overwhelming  need  to  have  approval  and  be  liked  by  everyone.

Yes,  we  all  have  to  make  sacrifices  and  establish  boundaries  within  our  rela>onships  and  in  some  environments.    The  point  is  that  your  iden>ty  is  not  lost  along  the  way.  Are  there  

elements  of  your  authen>c  self  that  you  have  been  withholding?  We  are  focusing  on  conscious  growth  and  that  comes  from  a  place  of  truth.  Use  these  7  reminders  to  help  you  to  claim  your  power  to  control  your  maximum  des>ny  and  enjoy  the  freedom  that  you  deserve.    

1. Remind  yourself  that  you  cannot  possibly  gain  the  approval  of  everyone.    It  is  a  self-­‐defea>ng  downward  spiral  that  almost  always  results  in  disappointment.

2. Put  yourself  at  the  top  of  your  priority  list.3. You  don’t  always  have  to  be  nice  at  the  expense  of  your  

own  values,  thoughts  and  feelings  (a  challenge  spot  that  s>ll  requires  my  aJen>on).

4. Learn  to  say  no.5. Get  comfortable  with  expressing  your  needs,  thoughts  

and  feelings.6. Value  your  decisions.7. Avoid  the  automa>c  internaliza>on  of  messages  (yours  

and  others)  by  learning  to  recognize,  reconstruct  and  replace  them  with  those  that  suit  your  magnificent  story.

Release  Message  to  Self:  I  am  releasing  your  restric>on  from  my  mind  and  my  soul.  I  know  that  you  will  be  trying  very  hard  to  remain  however  my  determina>on  is  much  stronger  than  you  have  given  me  credit  for.  The  >me  has  come  to  be  free.  I  am  aware  and  give  myself  the  freedom  to  be  ME.

There  is  a  reason  that  so  many  people  find  that  they  cannot  move  beyond  their  current  accomplishments  to  achieve  more.    It  is  very  closely  connected  to  the  central  meter  that  exists  within  your  subconscious  mind  opera>ng  on  an  automa>c  basis  and,  in  many  cases,  undermining  aJempts  to  grow  further.    

Your  mind  is  a  very  complex  and  magnificent  en>ty  capable  of  processes  that  we  normally  take  for  granted.    Understanding  the  basic  func>ons  of  the  subconscious  and  conscious  mind,  especially  where  your  poten>al  is  concerned,  will  offer  valuable  insights  to  assist  you  in  establishing  new  markers  for  achievement.    You  will  need  to  train  your  subconscious  mind  to  accept  and  adopt  a  new  way  of  thinking  and  living.  

Here  is  your  chance  to  start  to  shape  your  highest  possible  poten>al  on  your  terms.    It  starts  with  a  careful  personal  explora>on  of  what  is  at  the  core  of  your  being.  What  is  dis>nguishing  about  you?  What  is  the  fuel  that  drives  you?  What  are  the  habits  that  you  are  engaged  in?  

The  fact  is  that  many  people  say  that  they  are  commiJed  to  achieving  a  goal,  but  really  they  are  in  a  contempla>on  stage  where  the  ideas  and  strategies  are  iden>fied,  but  the  primary  mo>va>on  hasn’t  been  adopted  within  their  unconscious  as  significant  enough  or  reality-­‐based.This  insight  is  essen>al  to  address  habitual  magnificence  leaks  that  exist  without  your  awareness.  You  will  not  be  able  to  alter  what  you  aren’t  aware  of.  Once  you  have  brought  this  to  consciousness,  then  forming  new  paJerns  

and  focusing  on  your  inten>ons  will  be  your  objec>ve.  What  you  seek  will  be  revealed  when  you  contemplate  its  existence  in  the  present.

It  all  starts  with  a  conscious  decision,  and  that  choice  is  en>rely  yours.  Take  control  of  your  poten>al  and  use  the  enormous  range  of  op>ons  to  bring  out  your  drive  to  succeed.  You  are  in  charge  of  your  life  and  your  ability  to  reach  beyond  your  previous  expecta>ons.  Rev  up  your  cause  and  nothing  will  stop  you  from  experiencing  great  things.  When  your  consciousness  has  been  awakened,  the  daily  ac>vi>es  will  begin  to  be  revealed.
