Do you do handmade jewelry or crafts?

Small prints or T-shirts (with your logo, sayings, drawings or unique photos on them)?

If so, you might want to create a site on http://Etsy.com.

It isn’t for everyone, but maybe it’s for you. It’s a fabulous source for people who want handmade creations.

Last year alone, people on sold $180.6 million-worth of goods. That wake you up up a bit?

My friends, relationship experts Paul and Layne Cutright wrote this great article about how an excess of energy can break you down & literally remake you.

It’s food for thought when you feel overwhelmed, stressed out and panicky or even numb. Instead of allowing yourself to freak out, what if you realized that it’s just energy, and made another wish?

I know you’ll love their article. Read it HERE.

How Source Sees Natural Disasters

This is an awesome video! Abraham goes over the three steps to attraction.

Abraham provides details and gives more information about what each part does and why, and how we all miss the fact that feelings are NOT the power but INDICATORS…and what the actual power is.

I know you’ll love this – it’s a ten minute video. http://www.lawofattractioninteraction.com/Abraham-Abroad.php

ALERT! The USDA and Secretary Vilsack, in collaboration with Monsanto, are about to lift a court-ordered ban on Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) “Roundup Ready” alfalfa.

This GMO would have disastrous effects on US and global agriculture. If you have not done so already, we ask you to submit comments (it will only take 2 minutes!) before the Wednesday, March 3rd deadline.

Genetically engineered alfalfa would be the first perennial GM crop, and would result in a huge increase of toxic RoundUp in the environment. [Just what we need, eh? People with environmental sensitivities might as well hang it up right now! ed.]

It would expose livestock widely to both genetically engineered genes and pesticide residues. It would especially affect cows and horses–their health, their reproduction, and their byproducts, particularly milk.

Alfalfa pollen is carried far and wide by the wind and bees, so the presence of GM alfalfa in the environment would contaminate organic alfalfa, rendering organic dairy impossible. Consumers who eat alfalfa sprouts would be exposed directly, as well as those who eat meat.

Despite positive trends, this is the most serious GMO threat yet, as it creates the legal precedent at the Supreme Court level, for GMO contamination to be acceptable for any crop, with the support of the USDA (see Background below).

Sorry to alarm you, but it would be extremely helpful if each of you could take action before March 3 by doing one or more of the following:

1. Follow the directions in the True Food Network page (see below) to conveniently call your Senators and Representatives on Monday and Tuesday, and tell them that they should not support the commercialization of GM-alfalfa. This will have a strong impact, as there have not been enough comments to date.

2. Follow this link: http://capwiz.com/grassrootsnetroots/issues/alert/?alertid=14469696 to the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) where you can send the OCA email letter by clicking “take action now.” This will take you 2 minutes and can be done on the weekend.

3. Submit comments directly to the USDA at: http://www.regulations.gov/search/Regs/home.html#submitComment?R=0900006480a6b7a1. You can write your own comments from the points below and above, or copy and paste the letter found at the OCA link: http://capwiz.com/grassrootsnetroots/issues/alert/?alertid=14469696

Call your Congressional Representatives today and ask them to hold USDA accountable by contacting Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack and urging him to deny approval of Monsanto’s GE alfalfa! Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard: (202)224-3121 and ask for your Senator/Representative’s office. If you do not know who they are click here to look them up. Speak with the agriculture staff person or leave a message. Tell them that you DO NOT support the deregulation of GE alfalfa, for the following reasons:

* GE contamination of non-GE and organic crops would be inevitable
* You won’t buy products that are GE-contaminated
* Alfalfa is a major food source for livestock and GE alfalfa would destroy the integrity of organic dairy products
* You support the rights of farmers to grow the crops of their choice, and GE contamination makes that impossible
* GE crops increase pesticide use, harming human health and the environment
* Ask your Representative and Senators to contact Secretary Vilsack and urge him to deny USDA approval of Monsanto’s GE alfalfa

Then email us at info@truefoodnow.org and tell us who you called and let us know what kind of response you got!

It’s been my own personal experience that the more I help people live the way they’d like to live, the more fulfilled and happy I, myself, feel.

I think the best part of it, though, is enjoying the people who come to me for coaching, and seeing them discover how to stride from mountain top to mountain top after years of miserable slogging through the muck.

Now, one of your innate skills might be helping people, too. Do you find that people come to you and ask you what to do or how to do it – and you answer and spend time with them and feel happy to help – but you don’t get paid?

What if you could get paid for something that is so natural to you?

What a concept! Instead of wondering what to do next or hating your job or doing something just to get by, imagine doing something you love and the rest of the world supporting you in that! What if you learned how to be a bona fide Health Coach?

You can not only make a good living helping others do what they say they want to do – like, be healthy?!? – and you can feel fulfilled and on track, yourself.

I bet you didn’t know that health coaching has proven to be 91% effective. That’s a pretty amazing statistic. Wouldn’t you love to be a part of that?

What if you could:
•  Help people not get sick in the first place!
•  Create a lifestyle of health
•  Help people stay on track

Just take a minute and imagine being able to dramatically help people to:
•  stop smoking
•  exercise more
•  eat healthier
•  reduce stress
•  incorporate proper nutrition into their diets
•  not to mention helping them be happier & more balanced!

Health Coaching is the fastest growing niche market of all coaching, and presents multiple opportunities for contributing to some of the proposed improvements being discussed today in health care reform. Coaches are also paid very well. They earn an average of over $190 per hour coaching individual clients and some coaches who are conducting group coaching sessions are earning far more than that. You can do this!

So here’s a really good doorway in for you: I suggest that you register for this FREEbie 90- minute tele-training session with Hilton Johnson on WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, from 2 – 3:30 pm NY time.

Is December 21, 2012 the end of the world as we know it?

Climate change seems inevitable with countless hurricanes, earthquakes and innumerable disasters around the globe in recent years. What did the ancient Maya know and why did they place such significance on this date?

As we near the final date of the Mayan Calendar, mankind must face what is perhaps the most difficult hurdle of all…a profound change in ourselves.

2012: Mayan Prophecy and the Shift of Ages
Dir: Peter Coeppens & Geoff Stray.  2008. U.S/ Mexico   83 min.

This enigmatic film unveils the other side to the 2012 enigma on a journey into the Mayan mysteries to uncover a startling perspective on 2012, the lost meaning of the great cycle of the ages. They challenge the doomsday prophets and argue that 2012 is not the apocalyptic end of times, it is in fact only the beginning.

INDIGENOUS WISDOM FILM SERIES at University of Hawaii Spalding Auditorium, Honolulu. Watch the preview of 2012: Mayan Prophecy here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcCptTdU5Lo

RATING: 8/10

I found a great freebie online scheduler this week. It saved me so much time it was incredible. It would have been a nightmare to deal with signing so many people up for sessions without it.

If we’d had to email back and forth to set up each one I’d have torn all my hair out! But we ended up using this site HERE

You can block off times; you can set it up for 15, 30 and 60 minute blocks, and the system sends out reminders to the clients who signed up for appointments.

It doesn’t take out-of-the-US people, so I just had folks use my address and phone number and it worked great – all I needed was their name and email address anyway, since I already had the rest of the info from their applications.

I give it an 8 out of ten because it has no place where I can describe my business, and there is no way to properly set up appointments for folks outside the US. I’m always looking for better stuff, so if you know of an online scheduler that is better, I’d love to hear about it.

2 RECOMMENDATIONS & AN ‘OOPS’

RATING: 10/10:

NEW TWITTER APPLICATION
I admit I was one of the ones who said, “Get a life!” when it came to Twitter. But I’m seeing significant results when I use it along with my Facebook page to talk about what’s up–whether teleclasses, new products or blog posts.

I’ve been frustrated, though, because I just don’t have the time to post as much as I’d like. I hear three times a day ought to be minimum if you’re serious about your marketing. Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m not going to sit here and post on Twitter morning, noon and night!

So I was really pleased when I found a little app with which you can create automatic tweets at any time. Yes, I know, you can use Tweetlater to do automated tweets. But their system is clumsy and awkward, and I don’t like it.

I thought, OK, I’d try out a new goodie I hear about: it’s called TwtAutoresponder (check it out HERE), and it goes for a measley 17 bucks. I love it! It’s simple, plain and completely easy to use.

RATING:

10/10: BIT.LY SHORTY URLS
I combine TwtAutoresponder with my trackable links from bit.ly (sign up there at zero cost for great URL shortener).

Mobile bit.ly: There’s a simple mobile version of bit.ly available at m.bit.ly , which is great if you need to access bit.ly links you’ve saved for later. Even good for Blackberry users.

In case you wonder why I use URL shorteners: I used to get a whole load of emails complaining that the long links I sent were cut off in the email, didn’t work, etc. Now I don’t get any. Whether you use Snipurl.com, Tinyurl.com or Bit.ly (and there are many more–just google free URL shorteners), you need to be careful to see if your spam rating goes up or not.

RATING 5/10:

iCONTACT.COM
Last month I tried out iContact.com just for kicks. I like their interface a lot–it’s very navigable. I also like it that you can send emails to people who didn’t open the ones you sent previously; and I really liked it that I could call and get real person help.

But I was really disappointed that they rate emails with any redirected URLs as an 8 (outrageously high) on the spam meter! Pleagh! No way! And I couldn’t modify their forms the way I wanted to. There were a couple other small things that didn’t sit well, so I gave up on them.

SHOPPING CART, ETC.
So I’m back to continuing on with my previous email delivery service with 1AutomationWiz.com, –which has a complete, comprehensive array of services from email delivery, autoresponders, product buy buttons, affiliate setups and other services. I hate it that you have to pay extra for phone support, but I call them so rarely I guess it’s a non-issue.

I do like it that everything I need is under one roof, and their monthly rates are pretty reasonable for what you get.

WHY SMILE?
The mere act of smiling is often enough to lift your mood; conversely, the act of frowning can lower it; scowling can make you feel fed up.

In other words, the gestures you make with your face can—at least to some extent—influence your emotional state.

3  PEOPLE WHO QUIT THE “REAL WORLD” AND ARE MAKING GOOD MONEY DOING GOOD THINGS
With an initial investment of just $25, Kristin Hein, a 34-year old stay at home mom in Littleton, CO, has launched V.I.P. Letters, a company that specializes in writing and sending personalized letters to Santa. If that takes off, she plans to expand to the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny.

Hein stumbled on the idea while looking online for ideas on how to write a tooth fairy letter for her own daughter. After giving it some thought she decided might be able to turn it into a small home business…this, AND OTHER IDEAS here.

RUN BAREFOOT!
And how long have we put up with those fancy-ass high-top, squishy-soled, arch-supported, kitchen-sink-and wash-the-dishes, too sneakers? Ones that cost three arms, two legs and your first-born to buy–especially if they are for your kids? Here’s some surprising research….

Mr. McDougall makes the case that running isn’t inherently risky. Instead, he argues that the commercialization of urban marathons encourages overzealous training, while the promotion of high-tech shoes has led to poor running form and a rash of injuries.

THE BALLOON BOY–WHY WE BOUGHT IT, AND WHAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ECONOMY….
This is an amazingly brilliant article. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Here’s a tiny snippet (get the whole thing here):

“If Heene’s balloon was empty, so were the toxic financial instruments, inflated by the thin air of unsupported debt, that cratered the economy he inhabits. The press hyped both scams, and the public eagerly bought both. But between the bogus balloon and the banks’ bubble, there’s no contest as to which did the most damage to the country. The ultimate joke is that Heene, unlike the reckless gamblers at the top of Citigroup and A.I.G., may be the one with a serious shot at ending up behind bars.”

This is pretty funny–I’d love to see them do that in one of the local stores here–and I’d also want to just happen to be there, too! Watch it HERE.

I’ve shared this information before with my readers, and so far it  has gotten good feedback, so I’m pleased to be able to do so again. I think that it’s particularly relevant right now when people are out of jobs, or not knowing what to do to create a profession they want, love, feel great about and that supports them both internally and financially.

So I’m happy to say that Read the rest of this entry »

RANT: Have you ever noticed that there is always someone in the crowd who asks the questions no one else dares to even think of? That’s me. I always seem to open mouth and let fly, even if I’m scared to death.

Because to me, getting the answers to the questions is way more important than tolerating ignornace one more second, even if the reply hits my reality and shatters it. Good–if it shatters, it just means I’m that much closer to authenticity. I have seen no answer to this:

What happens to our great connectivity, to which we have become so drastically accustomed–using and interacting with every day–vis a vis, the internet–if something were to happen and electricity disappeared? Ooooh, what a thought!

Yes, a radical question. But after experiencing a couple of days last year when there were either thunder storms that took power lines out or a car wreck that plowed through a local power pole and left the entire neighborhood without power for hours, I began to ask myself what it would be like to go back to our pre-connected days. Ugh!

The first day that happened, I just went down to the beach and took a well-deserved break. But then it kept going Read the rest of this entry »

Happy Early Thanksgiving! Since holiday season insanity is almost here, I wanted to provide you with something that would help you create and maintain a spirit-based business high throughout the season–and beyond.

For years, I’ve had this voice–well, Voice–that wakes me up with ideas. I call it the Voice of Dreaming, and it’s given me some of the best ideas I’ve ever had.

So I asked it to give me an answer to holiday confusion, and I woke up on Friday morning with an idea that surprised me. It said, why not tell people that, for the next week only, when they sign up to be Little Red Tapping Books VIPs, you’ll give them the EFT Business Success Package for $99.98 instead of the usual $357?

Hmmmm. OK, I liked that. That’s a savings of $257.02 for over 17 hours of audio and a ton of ebooks full of the best energy business ideas and tips, tactics & strategies….!

Cool! And so (Check it out (but do not get it) HERE)…if you are an Energy Therapy, EFT/MTT or Holistic Practitioner, and you have wondered….

How do I get them to keep coming back?

When do I raise my prices?

HOW DO I SELL WITHOUT SELLING OUT?

Where do I market my business and how?
Where can I (easily) get free publicity?
