Hi
there ,
It's true, my husband left
me...but only for a
few days! Pete headed north for a fishing trip but don't
feel bad for me. I've got lots of plans lined up including
a dance party, karaoke, and taking a tour of a
recording studio I'm going to be using to
record my new product! FUN is in the air!
 Have you signed up for
next week's FR*EE
teleclass: Profit$ of Core Passion? You'll want to
register for this call
even if you can't make it because it's the only way
you'll hear about a limited time offer I'm making. I
already have people signed up from all over the world,
including Israel! (Hi there!) See what following
your passions does? Sometimes I just have to
pinch myself.
Do you ever suffer from
Perfection Paralysis?
(i.e.
not taking action on something you really want to do
until you're thin enough, rich enough and settled
enough?) In
this week's brand new article I ask the
question,
Is Good Enough, Really Good Enough? I hope
you think so because if you do, you'll enjoy life a whole
lot more!
Until next week,
Wishing you happiness and success,

Please join me and my
special guest, Lori Palm,
for a
special fr*ee teleclass on Tuesday, May 22, 2007 @
6:30 p.m. CST:
Profit$ of Core
Passion:
Discovering Your Uniqueness
Register now.
Are you at the CROSSROADS
of your life/business and don't know which way to go?
When a door closes and one stage of our lives is
complete, we are at an intersection, a threshold, a
crossroads. . . . .
When a way of life closes, our old stories and
identities are threatened, it feels like dying. Part of the
stories is how we think of ourselves - 'Oh, I don't do
that - I'm this. . . "
What if. . . you are no longer so sure you know who
you are? We can cheat ourselves with a limited
awareness of who we are.
So who are you? What decisions and driving forces
have brought you to this moment in time? A key factor
in finding this answer is to begin looking within. If your
outside world no longer defines you, it's time to look
within. Explore the world of your core passion.
Your core passion drives every decision you make!
Core passion is what drives you to do what you do ~
what has always driven you. When you put words to
these core passions, you are taking the intangible and
making it tangible. By discovering, activating and
claiming your unique profile of core passion, you can
transform your life, your relationships, and your
business. Now you can begin to redefine yourself.
When you know who you are, you know what to do . . .

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, 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.
Most of us who suffer from the need to do
things "perfect" probably had a mother and/or father
that expected perfection in some area of life. It could
also be other adults in your life, like teachers and
team coaches, expected perfect behavior and/or
perfect performance.
In any event, perfectionism is often a trait passed
down through the generations. It is closely tied to the
belief you can control things down to the finest
details. There are many reasons for it but it doesn't
need to rule your life. Not anymore.
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!
Feel better?

--
Henry David Thoreau
