I believe that we are a product of those that we surround ourselves with.  In the past few months I have been BLOWN AWAY by you all.  I wanted to take a moment to thank you so very much for your support and feedback.  I feel, for the first time in my life like I am building a strong community of thought leaders, and connecting with new friends just like me.  The most exciting part of my day is waking up and seeing what comments came in overnight from the blog and reading your emails!!

In the past, I’ve struggled with other people’s opinions (mostly because I’m always breaking the rules). I’ve also lived a very unconventional life, challenged by the concepts of fitting in with society, doing the work that I love, and feeling like I was contributing or changing the world in some way.  I want to let you all know that for the first time EVER, I feel like all of that has changed.

From getting feedback from you all, I realized there are many others out there, feeling alone and confused wondering why they don’t fit into conventional society. We wonder why the nine to five  feels like prison and why we can’t just make it happen and Keep up with the Jonses like everybody else.  I think the best gift in creating this blog has been hearing your comments.  I love connecting with you all and learning the trials and tribulations you are working through while you try to build a lifestyle and business that works for you.

I feel so fortunate to have a sense of understanding from you and realize something very important:  I’m not the only one.

My hope is by reading this site and hearing other people’s stories, you will realize that you are not the only one. Just because you roll a little bit differently from the rest doesn’t mean there is anything wrong.  In fact, what I’ve learned is this ability to be different and do something about it is one of the most empowering things in the world!

Doing Something MORE

With the economy changing, business is  happening a bit differently than before.  After I got over my initial self serving pity party, I realized that this is actually just an opportunity in disguise.  The truth is, people need support in their life and business NOW more than ever!!  The only problem has been that even though people want help, they simply can’t afford it.

I have had some time to think outside of the box and look at some more ways of reaching out and giving back more.  Here is the thing:  I LOVE what I do, and I want to do more of it. I am most happy when I am connecting with likeminded individuals and inspiring them to take action on their goals in life and business. I want to reach out more, and be available in more ways to you all.  I want to be like one of those great restaurants that is PACKED full of happy customers because the service is great, the food is fantastic, and the price is right.  So after a lot of soul searching, here is what I’ve come up with to be more available to YOU:

1. As many of you know, I respond to ALL blog comments.  I want to encourage you to comment or send me a direct email.  I’m always excited to hear from readers, what you are up to, and how I can help.  I WANT to be involved :0)
2. I’m writing guest blog posts on other sites like Digital Nomads to help spread the word of working remotely.
   
3. I am starting a new newsletter!!  Sign up for my Newsletter.  You will get specific success tips related to building the lifestyle of your dreams, business tips, and resources for going global.
4. In the Newsletter, I am going to offer free downloads and previews to upcoming product releases, as well as FREE COACHING CALLS. I’m going to offer free group coaching calls with all of my new Product Releases.  I realize that most people get stuck in life because they need more information.  In addition, they need someone to Guide Them Through the information!!  I was trying to figure out how to help everyone more, and I figured out I could reduce the overall cost by offering affordable Products with FREE Coaching Calls.  I’ll be releasing Monthly topics such as Lifestyle Design, Building a Budget, Overcoming Self-Limiting Behaviors, Finding Your Personal Mission, Going Global… and more.
5. I’m creating an affiliate program that rocks.  You can help the world and make money.  Get on the newsletter list to hear more.
