A Personal Note from Cari


Hi there,

How have you been? Last week I was in Stamford, CT attending Fabienne Fredrickson's Marketing and Mindset Breakthroughs Workshop. It was fantastic! I met tons of new friends and learned so much! I believe so strongly in surrounding myself with upbeat, positive, and successful people I've made a commitment to attend at least two other live events this year. I'll keep you posted on my travels!

Well, it's happening again but for the last time until later this year. How would you like me to PERSONALLY walk you through my step-by-step blueprint for turning YOUR passions into more purpose, freedom AND profit for a price much lower than my regular coaching fee?

Stay tuned because next week I'll send you all the information you need to sign up for my Passions into Profit Blueprint 8-week Tele-coaching Program and I'm even offering an early bird gift to those of you signing up early.

The Passions into Profit Blueprint is a marketing and mindset program that focuses on awakening the core essence of your business (and SELF) so that you can infuse your business with authenticity and power! Core Essence(tm) is the juice - the energy - that gives your products and services light and power. It's the "thing" that resonates with your target market. Why? Because it comes from YOUR core! It's powerful stuff and if you've been struggling in your practice/small business it might be because you haven't found your "sweet spot" yet. The Passions into Profit Blueprint program will help you find it!

Have you ever delayed taking action because you wanted everything to be "perfect"? Ah yeah, I've been there too - more times than I care to admit. This week's article answers the question, is good enough, really good enough? I hope that you'll see it usually is!

I'm heading out of town this weekend to visit my dad. I look forward to "going home"...it's been awhile. I hope you enjoy your weekend, too.

Bye for now...

Wishing you happiness and success,



Cari Vollmer
Your Passions into Profit Mentor

Feature Article

Is Good Enough, Really Good Enough?

I used to sit and cry because I couldn't keep up with everything I was supposed to do as a wife, mother and working woman.

I would actually get so frustrated by my inability to "do it all" I would be unable to do anything at all. I would freeze, be unable to move, and then feel like a failure.

As sorry as it sounds (and yes, I do know how sorry it sounds), I'm not kidding. I made myself miserable because I thought I should be doing so much more. Not only that, I thought I needed to do everything I did "just right".

Sound familiar?

I expect more women relate to this "perfection paralysis" than men, but I have known a fair number of men that suffer from it too.

Perfection Paralysis, as I define it, is what happens when your personal expectations are so great you get stuck because you can't seem to figure out how to do what it takes to meet your expectations.

For example, there are no answers to be found on how to easily cook a beautiful and delicious Food Network-type meal for 10 while cleaning your house until it shines the day before you leave for a week long business trip.

Nope. I never found the how-to manual for juggling it all easily and beautifully, but I did find something better.

I discovered two words that saved me and they'll save you too.

Good enough.

When I began using those two words in my life and career it was as if the weight of the world was lifted from my worried shoulders.

Now I know that "good enough" isn't always actually good enough, especially if you're an airplane mechanic, heart surgeon or Martha. But for day-to-day living, and even for a fair amount of day-to-day business activities, good enough, is good enough.

Think about it, good enough doesn't mean "less than". It also doesn't mean haphazard, lazy, or irresponsible.

"Good enough" means you have worked carefully to create an outcome and with a good dose of common sense and self-confidence are able to see that your best really is good enough and no more is needed to make it better.

Perfectionism is an illusion that tells us if I'm "perfect" or do things "perfect" I'll be safe and be assured of a successful outcome...as if to say failing would be bad. I've yet to see any proof "perfectionism" actually keeps us safe or insures a successful outcome. What I have seen, over and over again, is how it creates overwhelm, feelings of inadequacy and fear.

Two powerful words: good and enough, have the power to make you feel better, relax and enjoy life more. You may not be living a "perfect life", but then, who does?

Consider declaring the following:

I am GOOD

I am ENOUGH

I am GOOD ENOUGH!
