Here’s the Bliss Tip for Magical May – If you want more of anything so you can have a blissful life, go and get it! Life really is that simple. This may require you to speak up, get out of your comfort zone, defend boundaries or become daring and bold.  If you want more, you have to be willing to DO what it takes to get it and keep it and that may also mean taking responsibility for what is not currently working. OOps! Yeah by taking responsibility you can really change your life to make it more magical and I get that is not always easy…

Magic happens, it is said and if you want a magically happy life, step away from complacency and take action, get into flow and go get what you want sista! Only you an do this… Repeat this mantra – “If it’s to be, it’s up to me”!

And if you want help to get on the right track with the right tools, call me!

So after business partners not working out or even working at all, events not living up to my expectations, threats, disappointment etc, I’d had enough! People come and go, that I know but decided if I am here to stay, I need to rest and restore and do things differently if I want different results. I decided at Christmas to take my own advise and stop everything I’d been doing until further notice.

Time out gave me a gift and I now have a confession, something you may have already guessed along the way but Top Secret Women’s Business was only always about me, a documented account of my journey, illustrated in each and every article I wrote – most so I could clear my head and gain clarity. I thought if I’m feeling this way, surely there are other women who might be in need of the information I sought.  I’m not perfect

Every time I ran a Goddess Retreat, I needed it too, I craved the time out and time inside my own head… The workshops I facilitated were the same, about me getting what I needed.  I needed what I was teaching others.  Please don’t get me wrong, my intentions were pure and always of a helping nature because that is what I am most passionate about – I want to make a difference in the world and leave a legacy of social change but it started with’ my’ personal transformation… I think that is why it was all such a big secret.  AND NOW the secret is out there will be significant changes to this little business, so stay tuned.

The good news is all of my own workshops, coaching and retreats have worked their magic on me and I feel changed, like I’ve traveled to a new atmosphere and I’ve entered into an new era. AND I WANT TO SAY, TOP SECRET WOMEN’S BUSINESS IS NO LONGER A SECRET! It’s about you being the best woman you can be.

I am going to share what I know with the world, starting with a fresh approach, new workshops and revised retreats, inspiring new articles and I’ll be inviting feature writers to join the blog, amongst many other additions over time.

So here is the plan, I’m still taking this year off with a few exceptions, I will be facilitating  ONE VERY SPECIAL RETREAT for working women & women in business. There will be space for up to 14 women. I will also be conducting several one day workshops, so keep your eyes out for dates. These are for women who want it all, success, balance and happiness – this will be a practical HOW TO day of learning.

And lastly, I will be taking on only 3 New Coaching Clients per half, by application only because I have to be certain you are ready for what you are going to receive.

Right now, I am just putting it out there and keeping you informed – I appreciate your loyalty and letters asking about my whereabouts. I may not be consistent while I transition, up-skill and re-design this women’s business but rest assured, I am working hard behind the scenes creating new and wonderful things to inspire and make my mark on the world, by helping you make yours.

This Bliss tip comes 5 months after the last one…Why you ask?

The thing is, I love my business and life but it wasn’t fun anymore, so I stopped doing everything so I could re-calibrate and consolidate. I was willing to give it all away so I could have me back!  My passion and motivation has only just shown up once again… so look out, there are major changes afoot  It’s not been an easy transition but a worthwhile one.

Do you have what it takes to see the signs of potential burnout and do you have the courage to stop when life is getting the better of you?

What I’ve learnt is how important it is to value ME most of all, put myself first and focus on what I need to maintain happiness and health because if I don’t do that, everything else in my life suffers. This decision was not an easy one and it came with sacrifice but nothing is as important as saving me from poor physical and emotional health. Nothing is that precious, right? Ask your self this question - Is it really worth it?

So, this months Bliss Tip is a reminder that nothing in life is more precious than you and putting your self first is the key to good health and happiness…

Slow down and if it’s not simple, don’t do it.

There is more to come my friends….

 The past year has been one of incredible change for me, I know you have felt it too, it’s   unavoidable to experience the natural shift in consciousness – unless you are of course,  living unconsciously… It’s taken a while, but I can finally write about my Metamorphosis.

The winds of change are upon us all with the dawn of a new era, a transformation many a conscious person feels and is still feeling as Aquarius engulfs us with her wisdom. I am so happy to say good bye to the last decade, one of the hardest I’ve experience but one I am most grateful for.

I don’t know if wisdom comes with age or if it’s the age of wisdom that is what is being experienced but I know this, I am glad to be a part of a changing time that is so profoundly felt by so many and as I sat on a rock at Airlie Beach watching the wind blow the old me away over Christmas. I now find myself contemplating what on earth happened to make me feel so different now.

I feel like I am in a new atmosphere, everything in my life feels different to me – my heart space, my emotions, my attitude and clarity is clean and most of all my divine feminine is awakened with profound inner peace, I have finally arrived home. So why did I feel so lost in this space of contentment?

The end of last year marked the end of a struggling and chaotic era for me in so many ways. It’s been an uphill battle juggling and balancing the raising of my children, work, business and lets not even mention my personal relationships being unsettled (to say the least on this subject). After 9 years of separation and taking on the many roles of mother, father – provider, sister, entrepreneur, student, leader and everything else I could get my hands on, I had finally reached the highest point of low, I was totally cooked and ready for a new way of existing – it’s called living.

Over the past few years everything I did seemed like a struggle, so much effort and energy extending out but little coming back to me in the way of financial rewards, peace and success. I had been pushing for success and happiness in all the wrong directions and nothing was working the way I had pictured just 9 years prior. That was when I left my husband after 10 years of marriage.

Toward the end of last year I could feel myself losing my essence like a cup with a slow leak draining of all its goodness. The energy leak stole my sexy mojo (my most treasured friend and confidant), it threw away my passion, killed my sense of humour, had me become judgmental, cynical and tossed my compassionate nature to the wayside. I had nothing left…

In my pessimistic, agitated, lifeless space I sat waiting for a sign from the Goddesses I prayed to daily. I prayed to find solace in my changing world but nothing came soon enough… But it did come eventually. What appeared was a feeling… a sneaking feeling that my prayers had been answered. It crept up and intensified the closer I got to the end of the year – the end of the world as we knew it to be.

In the past few years I knew I had spent too much time with people who opinions mattered a little too much to me. I knew I had compromised too much of my true self in my interactions, trying to please and fit in. I knew I had spent every last dime on my business events that left me broke and finally ‘I’ was broken. The cost had been great and now a strange fulfilling feeling surrounded me and the instinct to get away was overwhelming. I had to get away and find a new space being with me once again, to reconnect with the heart of my nature.

Strangely, last year I had landed the perfect job, a job training people to be trainers, it was a dream come true. Finally, I was being paid my worth, meeting people from all over Australia, traveling and finally feeling content with life and my fundamental needs of certainty and security were being met. How crazy is it to think everything in life was finally so perfect yet this nagging feeling ‘leaking’ was overwhelming me to bits. I just didn’t understand what was happening. I mean, I didn’t even have anything to write about, I was spent, yet content. What irony!

So this is what I have observed; I’ve not been content in so long I had forgotten how to do it (if I have ever known). Contentment left me questioning, querying and feeling unsettled it was a new emotion to me as pushing up hill had reigned for so long. I didn’t know how to do content or simple happiness. Without absurd effort, I felt like something was wrong with me!

So how could I go from chaos to calm so quickly? Well 3 days in the Whitsundays in northern Queensland is like 3 days of heaven on earth. It’s the most serene and beautiful place on the planet… I took time out for me, to listen to the winds of change sweep through my mind, my body and soul and I listened to my hearts desire and she told me to make life decisions that cherish simple happiness. She told me to be at peace, to stop trying so hard and to let the things go of things that were arduous.. To let go and let God…

I became fully aware of my mental attitude shifting, my visions enlightened, I felt lighter, relieved and sublimely conscious of the miracle that had taken place.

I had transformed, a process of metamorphosis had taken place and I live now in a place of content and will to pursue deeper levels of happiness and fullfilment. Finally, I have become the woman I have always dreamed of being – awakened… There is always room for growth and to this I will always be in pursuit, however, the incubation period that is the precursor to flourishing, I will never again fight or deny or mistaken as something being wrong.

I’ve never before felt so secure and humbled by being myself.

Life always deals us the cards we are capable of working with, nothing more, nothing less. There is always a lesson available when we are ready to receive and to this I am grateful.

I’m profusely happy now to receive myself with unconditional love, acceptance and the freedom that comes with a full moon rising over tropical islands… A miracle I witnessed that symbolised the rise of femininity, my womanliness!

Shift happens at the time in which we are ready to receive, all you have to do is open your heart and the rest will flow effortlessly. Let go and have faith… I promise.

And here I was thinking I had nothing to write about….

With love and Gratitude,

Yours Real and Raw,

It may come as a surprise that developing yourself helps you to grow your business. Growing your business means more money in your pocket. The more you develop your thinking, attitudes and beliefs around business the more opportunities you see in the market place.

Your business will only ever be as big as your imagination… Is it time to expand the way you think?

Imagine if your business was as big a success as you have always dreamed… It’s not far off, sometimes we just need to get out of our own way and expand our own thinking, eradicate negative and limiting beliefs, develop a more conviction and literally, think bigger.  I have devised a way for all business owners to do this – through Professional Development for the Business owner, my Signature Program.

Most business owners forget to invest in themselves but will throw any amount of money at the next quick fix business idea.   I can help you change that so you get more results, by assisting you to understand the reasons why YOUR growth is just as important – if not more than anything else you do as a business owner…. What are you waiting for. Find out more….

Signature Program and FREE Session is waiting for you valued at $380. Email Janelle – admin@topsecretwomensbusiness.com for an appointment over skype or phone.

How do you avoid the pitfalls of a changing market place and continue to grow your business?

The first thing I would suggest is reading the book Who Moved My Cheese, it’s a great little book about change and how to move ‘with’ a changing world, instead of being victim to it. This book is ideal for anyone in business.

One of the biggest decisions you may ever have to make in your business is to decide when to ride the down times, when to cut your losses and get out and when to move with the changing times.

So what happens when you have tried everything you can to expand your business and it’s just not growing like you originally planned?

It might be time to diversify – Change directions slightly. 

If you ask most business owners what they were doing when they first started their business, you will discover, in most cases, it’s not what they are doing now. Diversifying means perhaps branch out in different directions and consider what else you can do with what you already have and who you can do it with.  Remember your business is as only as big as your imagination!

The fact you are in business means you don’t mind taking a risk, but sometimes we need a little nudge when it comes to change and letting go of our business ideals – as we originally saw them.  Dyf=versifying says a lot about how you value your growth as a business owner.

I leave you with this thought… If your business is challenged, can you honestly say you have tried everything? Have you asked to be Mentored? Received Coaching? Reconsidered your Marketing plan? What else can you do?

If you are interested in a Professional Coaching Session to discuss your Business Success, please contact Janelle this month for a Free ‘Diversifying’ Session  valued at $380 Email to schedule an appointment – admin@topsecretwomensbusiness.com
