Inspired Action

Well, I heard about my interview.... I didn't get the job.

No way!! No pity parties here. I've been majorly busy!!  Part of the reason I had for wanting a job in the Business Development Department was because I had an idea that I had hoped to reveal when I had proven myself.  Well, I decided that idea was good enough to submit anyway.  So I asked the salesman, ___, I've been talking to for his opinion on the idea.  He was pretty impressed and suggested that I take it to the owner.... Seriously? Straight to the owner? Holy hell, talk about jumping into the deep end!

But ___ really believed the idea was good. I've been talking to him now for several weeks and we are getting to be friends.  He wasn't blowing smoke.  So I decided to go for it.  I went straight home and wrote the proposal.  I have never written a proposal in my life and didn't even know where to begin.  Funny thing though, when I sat down to the computer, the words just flowed out of my fingertips.  This is what I'm talking about when I say "Inspired Action."  In fact, everything about this idea was inspired.  It came to me in one of those lighting bolts of inspiration as I was sitting on "my" bike one day.

I talked to ___ this past Friday.  On Monday, I printed out my proposal and got dressed (I wore my red cowboy boots and for confidence). Then I went to see ___, because he promised to give me some input on it.  "Breathe, Tam" I was afraid my knees would buckle under me as I stepped out of the car.  But I didn't let it stop me. I tossed my hair back; straightened my shoulders and strode across the parking lot like I had already won.  However, once I crossed the threshold, confidence almost failed me so, I made a bee line for my bike.  I threw my leg over the saddle and sat there imagining what it felt like to own that beast and how it would feel to be in control of that kind of power.

Ok, now I was ready.  I walked up behind ___ as he sat at his desk. He didn't sense me there right away, so I said, "You're future ex-wife is behind you." (Inside joke.) He turned around and gave me a great smile.  I presented him with the cookie bribe I had brought and sat down at his desk.  I handed him the folder with my proposal and he read it.  "Breathe, Tam, breathe." The two or three minutes he took to read it felt like an hour.  Finally he looked up, took his glasses off and looked me in the eye and said, "Tammy, this proposal is an idea worthy of a job.  You've really given this some thought."

He wanted to keep it a couple of days to see if there were any suggestions he could make.  I went back to see him.  He didn't change a thing and the proposal was sent up to the owner's office before I left.

I'm still Snoopy dancin!!

I'll be at the dealership on Saturday for an open house and to do a little networking, so I'm hoping I'll have some news.

Soooo...What Does a Life Coach Do Exactly?

WOW!!!  Now that you have dusted off that big dream and have fallen in love with it again, I'll bet you're wondering how you will ever accomplish something that is soooo much bigger than yourself.  You've looked at it and seen all the wonderful things it will create in your life and you've also considered all the seemingly insurmountable obstacles to that dream.  And I'll bet those obstacles have pretty much stopped you in your tracks haven't they?

My redheaded friend, you have made a decision to live your life out loud so before you put your big dream back in its box to be reopened in "the future," consider what a life coach can do for you....

Miracles Within Mission Statement

Every client will discover the unique and powerful “somebody” they were created to be. 

What makes coaching worth the investment?

We all have dreams and goals we want to accomplish. I want to know what yours are.  What is holding you back from getting them done?  How serious are you about tackling them? Are you willing to put in the hard work to achieve them?

Life coaching is an investment in YOU. This could be the single most important thing you ever do for yourself.  In coaching, you will not only move through the steps of accomplishing your goal, but you will learn a process that will allow you create sustainable results on this goal and duplicate the results with amazing success in any future goals.   As you go through the process, you will also see improvements in other areas of your life, such as your intimate and business relationships; or just your overall enjoyment of life.

Together, we will move you through obstacles that are currently holding you back.  This comes in the form of external blocks such as (but not limited to) money, time or skills. It also comes from internal blocks based on your mental and emotional perception of the elements in your goal.  For example, you may not have pursued a goal because it could make you wildly rich and you may feel that making money might make you seem greedy.

Coaching goes at your pace and comfort level. We focus on YOUR agenda and how you want to achieve each step.  We will set up a plan to achieve your goals and the actions you want to take to move forward.

Furthermore, you will have a safe, confidential space to be your authentic self where someone will support you whole-heartedly without judgment. I will be there when you’re stressed or to cheer for you at each success along the way. Oh yeah, a big part of that support is to hold you accountable for the things you say you will do from week to week.  If you don’t get your tasks done, we will be exploring what stopped you.

What coaching is NOT

Coaching is not therapy.  There is no denying that the past always effects the present, however, our goal in a coaching relationship is to acknowledge the past but not get caught up in the negativity of it. We want to figure out how to make new decisions in the present that propel you into the future.

Coaching is not consulting. Typically a consultant shows up with a solution to a problem and tells you to implement the steps they created for you.  This only works temporarily.  Often times someone who hires a consultant, will follow the steps for a while but will eventually return to their old way of doing things because the proposed solution is difficult to implement and working through the bugs seems more complicated than the way things have always been done.  The goal of coaching is to provide sustainable results that can be duplicated in the future.

Coaching is not mentoring either. A mentor tells you how things worked for them in the past. Often times, this doesn’t work, simply because the mentor’s solution may not fit your specific set of circumstances.  As we discussed earlier, no one knows your needs better than you, so you probably already have wonderful ideas on how to solve your own problems. You just need some one trained in drawing them out.

Inquiring minds want to know...What's your big dream?

So tell me, what's the big dream in your life that you want to manifest?

How long has it been sitting on a shelf in your heart gathering dust?

Are you ready to do something about it, but don't know exactly how you will accomplish it or perhaps you feel the obstacles are just too great?

Well, today I would like you to take that dream off the shelf for awhile.

Seriously, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to center yourself.  Now imagine being in the treasure room of your heart where you keep all your favorite things.  Look around. What do you see?

Now where did you put that big dream?  Oh, there it is.  Do you see that beautifully crafted box on the shelf across the room?  Yes, you know the one I mean.  Walk over to it and pick it up.  Hold it in your hands and carefully dust it off.  Do you remember when you created this?  Before you open the box, tell me about what's inside.

That is an amazing dream!! Now, set the box back down and take out your big dream.  How do you feel when you hold it in your hands? Do you still get that thrill as when you first created it?

Now try it on.  Imagine that failure is impossible and you have achieved your dream.  How does it feel?  Does it still fit?  Does it still make you happy?

I would really love to hear about your big dream.  Please feel free to post a comment here or email me privately at miracles_within@yahoo.com.

One Step Closer

In my last blog I told you about setting the intention to FINALLY get my Harley.  To make this happen, I started very seriously using The Law of Attraction.

Do you know about this?  It's the coolest thing in the world!  I was first introduced to it several years ago when I heard about the movie "The Secret."  It takes a little faith in something greater than yourself, intuition and some BELIEVE.

In a nut shell, the law of attraction is a concept that says YOU can create your destiny just the way you imagine it.  Ask The Divine, Believe that you will have it, and then receive.  Note part of the receiving includes inspired ideas that you will need to take action on.  We'll talk more about this in later blogs but for today, I want to tell you how this is working for me.

Anyway, about a month ago I met a woman at the restaurant I work at part-time. She had on a Harley shirt and I asked what she drove.  She told me (but I can't remember for life of me what it was), however she said she also worked there.  And out of the blue said they were hiring in the accounting department.  Funny thing is that most of my work experience is in that area, and I hate it.  However, to work for Harley and have a chance to fulfill a dream, I'd consider it.  So I sent my resume in.  They contacted me immediately for references which I sent back.

I never heard back from them.  To tell you the truth, I didn't follow up either because I really didn't want to go back into bookkeeping.  I figured, I'd leave it up to God to decide for me.  If he wanted me to have the job, He would provide.

I've been meditating on how I will manifest my bike, then last week, I was in the showroom looking at my bike and the woman who originally processed my resume came downstairs from the offices and by chance I was introduced to her.  Come to find out she had never received my references....or had overlooked my e-mail.  But there was another position open in the Business Development Dept.  I resent my resume and references and scored and interview!!!

I had the interview today.  It went really well!!!  This is more than just a job and a discount on my gear and classes.  There is opportunity here that will meet several goals.  At the very minimum, I will be among positive people who know what it feels like to achieve a dream.
