Mobilize

Posts will explore the resources, skills and ideas that can help you to mobilize and take action. The focus will be on sustainable mobilization—a key pillar of conscious entrepreneuring.

Post topics will include: interesting trends; valuable resources; strategic thinking; planning and organization tips; skills enhancement; practices for navigating change and transition; and approaches for manifesting intentions and setting goals. I will also from time-to-time provide techmobilizing encouragement by sharing news, thoughts, tips and recommendations on Apple-related apps, devices and accessories. 

Inspire

These posts are intended to inspire! I want to inspire your creativity, thinking, ideastorming, innovating, and visioning. I’ll share the things that inspire me and that I hope will also inspire you! 

Look for little inspirational nuggets such as insight-seeking questions, reflections, quotes, book recommendations, images, word art, affirmations and links to inspirational and thought-provoking content on the web. 

Empower

These posts will be about empowering your conscious entrepreneuring. I’ll encourage you to claim your creative genius and to work and live in alignment with your authentic self. Self-care and self-compassion will be important recurring topics as these two vital practices are most often neglected by entrepreneurial women who are running on autopilot.

I’ll write about approaches that allow us to embrace our work and live more wholeheartedly and courageously and that empower us to shift away from the things that are holding us back including: limiting beliefs, perfectionism, worry, fear, overload and scarcity thinking.  

Energize

As conscious entrepreneurs, we need to be aware of how we are managing the precious resource of personal energy. So my goal with these posts will be to encourage you to let go of the things that consistently drain your energy and to instead develop restorative practices that can help you renew your energy.

I’ll write about nurturing the body, mind and spirit and transforming stress and overload. And we’ll explore energy-giving practices including mindfulness, play, stillness and gratitude. And I will remind you of the power of pause.

Join In The Conversation

I invite you to join in on the conscious entrepreneuring conversation. I’d love to hear from you and hope that you’ll share your thoughts, experiences and best practices. And I encourage you to share my posts with others. You’ll see lots of ways to do that via the Share link at the end of each post.

Bloom Here, Bloom Now

posted on Date06.8.2012

So often we are busy waiting to bloom into our full potential. We can be limited by our own thinking that says we have to be in the “perfect” place and time in our careers or in our lives for things to unfold or for shifts to happen.

Or we can be so busy searching for opportunities on distant horizons that we miss seeing, exploring or seeking out an entire field of possibilities that is waiting for us right in our own backyard.

We can make it so much harder than it really needs to be.

The truth is that many opportunities and possibilities can unfold for us when we do our part and simply be open to blooming where we are planted.

What possibilities might open up for you if you were to bloom where you are planted?
