Miss Karen's Musings - It's almost Christmas?!? What Happened to July?


Well, OK, I'll admit it. Time does pass more quickly as you get older. And I am not really ready to admit that I am actually older. The one thing that happens to you when you have kids is that you stop being timeless. You watch the little munchkin(s) get taller and taller and soon it occurs to you, holy cow he's nearly as tall as I am!

That's certainly the case with my boy as he prepares to become 12. Twelve years old!!

Gad, I still remember him as the beautiful little boy who got kicked out of 3 preschools for "non-compliant behavior". Which is not to say he was naughty - he just couldn't sit still for that long and got bored easily - like most normal boys.

It's been four years now since I "quit my day job" and took that rather enormous leap of faith. Has it always been easy? No it has not. Has it always been fun? No it has not. Have I made a bazillion dollars yet? No, not yet.

Would I change anything? No I would not.

Since I learned that it is possible to make money without trading time for dollars, my life went from "working for taskmasters" to living an adventure.

A few weeks ago I heard David Neagle Speak. He's just absolutely amazing, He says lots of insanely brilliant things. The one that continually sticks in my head is this: "If your business requires you to be present in order for it to make money, you don't have a business - you have a JOB".

After whacking myself upside the head for the umpteenth time in my life (and not because I could have had a nasty tasting vegetable drink), I realized I had created yet another job for myself and so I set out to do the right thing - walk my talk - create my business around my ideal life and not the other way around.

I find nothing more rewarding than teaching others what I've learned and watching them blossom and grow with the information I've been sharing.
I've seen total transformations in people's businesses and lives simply by developing self confidence using my systems.

It hit me one day recently that it isn't really about the words at all. It's about helping people validate who they are and what they're passionate about (and not just in their business world). I've been floored by how much the one day workshop alone has empowered my students and I realized that I am being very very selfish keeping this just to those I can actually be with in person, so I am changing all that. How? By making what I offer in person available as home study courses.

I am having a total blast developing these and I can't wait to share them with you.
