One of the distinctions coaches make about self-‐defeating beliefs or behaviors is that at one time or another these things were survival mechanisms. We can be grateful for the belief’s original inception
and recognize that these beliefs and behaviors once served us. The survival mechanism can become self-‐defeating when the behavior or belief is no longer needed for survival and now impedes our evolutionary process. When we have a belief, it generates a thought, which brings on an action through an event. In a nano-‐second, we evaluate, and an emotion is formed. We act or react, creating a behavior. We evaluate the consequences, which lead to an evaluation of our original belief. Then we go out into the world and create additional evidential experience to prove our logic, regardless of whether or not the logic
Retrain The Brain Free 30-‐minute training course by Karen Monteverdi
is flawed. We continue to repeat the process. Through consciousness, however, we can begin to realize that we have choices as to what we believe, feel, think and experience and also about how we behave. When we hold the evidence as the only truth, we are looking at the world from a single, limited perspective. We continue to
produce the same results in our lives until we recognize the fact that we have another choice. We even create agreements with others, unconsciously of course, to help us identify behaviors, which either support our desires or become signposts showing us that we are going the wrong way. On May 24th 2013, at BizRichment we conducted a call entitled Retrain The Brain. The feedback we've received has been incredible. So we are going to repeat the class on July 24th 2013. We've heard stories of people retraining their brain using our techniques for all kinds of old thought
patterns that no longer serve them. My favorite story is about 75 year old woman, who is an energy healer. Katherine has been working very hard trying to get her website up and running. Her belief: Technology was too complicated. She set the intention that she would easily and effortlessly learn what she needed to learn. She discovered that learning was fun and even found that she had more energy when she let go of the resistance to discovering new information. She updated her computer and discovered that with the new equipment she could move much faster around the web.
This amazing woman is courageous to start a business now in this time in her life. She claims there was the logical choice for her once she realized how much she had to offer. Katherine became a client; she writes: "I have the utmost confidence in my Coach. I am amazed at how much I have been influenced to the negative and 'lost my personal power.' I want that back. I don't smile, I don't feel happy, I am gaining a solid foundation with my Coach, Karen. I am learning I don't have to let the influence of others stop me, if I can't physically move on, I can emotionally, spiritually and mentally move on and my physical being will begin to support me. I am grateful."
Update: "I have been using the Retrain the Brain continuously and am clearing out lots of stuff. I am clearer in my thinking. Yesterday, I cleared being intimidated and that is a huge shift. I have spent a lifetime doing what I have to do instead of doing what I like or being more spontaneous. Now it's all switched and that is a huge shift. I pulled some positive from the front of my brain and am keeping those thoughts as my new motivation. My whole body feels different and spirit feels different." Of course, our stars of the show was LaTara and Laura. LaTara is moving to Italy, and if you've been following some of our recordings you
know she's been dreaming about this for over a year now. Her list was easily and effortlessly made after taking some of our free online courses about organization, self-‐awareness and taking action to make things happen. However, LaTara felt that the accomplishment of such a task was overwhelming and too complicated. LaTara retrained her brain and knocking out the items on her list. She is closer than ever to living in her dream of moving to Europe. Laura discovered has had the belief that clients don't know where to find her. She firmly rooted that clients now know where to find her. We're going to help her with that belief; you can find Laura at http://www.transitionswithlaura.com/
Please help Laura get her name out to the world, if you or someone you know is looking to increase your ability to build a healthy, happy and deep connection, either in a personal or professional relationship Love Coach Laura can help you or someone you know. Singles, Married Couples and Entrepreneurs all benefit from her courses and coaching.

The other day, I was watching the video interview with Bruce H. Lipton, PhD. and Dr. Wayne Dyer; after reading a post by one of my friends who was complaining how there was no control to be had.
Though we often believe circumstances are in control, we can choose another perspective.
As I was researching how to respond to my friends post, and further create a solution for those who want it; I remembered that I actually wrote about this in the book Living Consciously: In An Ego Driven Society. I offered an opportunity for people to take 100% responsibility for their situation.
When we realize we are responsible, we have the opportunity to create change, set up boundaries and, create a new set of
When Retraining The Brain Exercise Is Not Enough by Karen Monteverdi
instructions for our subconscious mind.
Setting up boundaries with ourselves we begin to see a transformation in the way we impact our environment.
We have the power to impact our environment as Bruce & Wayne describe in their video "Conversations to Awaken your Soul. Live from the Hay House "I Can Do It" conference in Las Vegas. A conversation with Dr. Wayne Dyer and Bruce H. Lipton, PhD." -‐ your biochemistry is transformed, how you respond is transformed.
As they said in the video; 95% of our response does not come from the conscious mind (it is subconscious.) We realize, there is some work that is needed to be done from a different perspective. I offer this solution from my book:
Chapter Two, page 34:
Being in Ego, How to Recognize the Signs
As I stated in the sub-‐chapter, emotions can be a barometer of how one experiences life. Signs of being in ego include feelings and language of blame, shame, judgment, domination, guilt, and a disproportionate need to compete. The list goes on and on.
When we recognize that we
are caught up in one of these experiences, we can actually begin to retrain the biochemistry of our mind if we immediately stop and say “Oh that’s ego.
What is true for me is____________” and allow a statement of truth to come to the forefront of our mind.
This happens when we take 100% responsibility for our experience and begin to notice where we are in error and where we are failing to accept the reality of the situation.
When we allow for others (even in acts of violence towards one another), to have their own experiences, we begin to see life differently.
This does not mean we must
stand by and do nothing about the physical reality of victimization.
The opposite actually occurs when we take 100% responsibility for our experience. Because we are now responsible for our own experience and are no longer being victimized ourselves, we are able to respond quickly with ease and decisiveness, and create empowerment for all.
There is a belief I have discovered in my own circle of friends that has moved me to add the following information about confrontation.
When a boundary has been set, and an intrusion of the boundary has occurred how does one stand for his or her self without creating negative results?
1. Come from a place of empowerment.
2. Do not make the mistake that the other person knows this is a boundary. Do Not Assume (discussed more in Chapter Three)
3. State the boundary as a fact.
4. Internally, let the emotional upset be dealt with another time, ask the ego to simply stand down, thank it and acknowledge that the ego has done its job by alerting you of the intrusion.
5. Allow others to know your expectation of behavior with love and kindness.
6. Create a space and openness to hear what the other person has to say. They may have insight or a
misunderstanding of the situation.
7. Create an agreement to move forward after both parties have been self-‐expressed.
8. If emotions are getting the better of you, and you cannot in that moment allow your emotions to be the gauge of your thoughts, ask for a break from the conversation. You can do this easily by excusing yourself to get a glass of water, use the restroom, or ask for a continuation of the discussion at a later time. While you have excused yourself count to 10 and breathe slowly. With each number and breath think of how much you love this person, something you value about his or her friendship while you are breathing.
We offer the free course
Retrain The Brain, however, some of our subconscious programming is so ingrained that we have to go even deeper. Living conscious is an awareness of how we are being. There is a lot of high profile people in the world that tell us our ego is bad.
Another perspective is that the ego is very important to understand how we navigate through our reality, if we let go of the identification of self as being ego.
To understand the ego and it's true nature we must understand how the brain interprets the information received from the outside world. The ego filters information, we can identify with the filter as being the truth. Or, we can see the ego as the filter it is.
By using the ego as a tool, rather than self-‐identification, we gain true wisdom.
Pattern Awareness
In the TeleCourse, You Are Not Your Past, we discuss the risk of living consciously by taking 100% responsibility for how we interpret our world. We ask you what's stopping you from creating peace and standing in your power of creation?
We discuss the Natural State of being, and the feeling we can become addicted to by continuing to create drama and trauma in our lives.
We discuss the mess that we create as a distraction from our core beliefs. Our goal with this course is to help you find a way to get the results you want, and stop creating more negative results in your life.
We help you leave the past in the past by clearing out the old junk.
We help you grieve for a past unfulfilled: intense disappointment, by setting up the space for the expression of emotions, in a safe space.
We help you set up a time and space to create emotional intelligence.
You begin to see the possibility of learning a new way of being, through perspective checks and cost analysis. This helps the logical, ego driven part of the brain accept the change you are asking for in your life.
Then you assess the commitment to the results you want, you ask "is it worth it?.
Sometimes it is not, while other times the result is such a burning desire it becomes a "no-‐brainer". (Excuse the pun)
The next part of the program is an opportunity to see where you have allowed the old set of instructions, from your subconscious, to recreate the past in your present. We call this pattern awareness.
During the exercises in the course we help you create reality checks about what you've learned, by interacting with others to test your theories.
You begin to discover new information through the experiences you are testing in your real life situations. You watch, you learn, and then you return to the course with the information in hand.
From that point you look at how the information you glean effects your beliefs. This is the testing ground for your new set of instructions you will use to retrain your brain.
The last two exercises in this course are to let go of blame, shame, guilt and fear surrounding your old behaviors, beliefs and ways you looked at the world.
Then, you get to begin cleaning up your mess with integrity and a commitment to create a better world for yourself and others.
Our instructors are all certified professional coaches who will then spend the next 8 weeks with you as you begin to live in your new set of instructions. We have no other agenda than to help you solidify your new way of life, you have chosen for yourself. This creates real change and offers you an opportunity to stand for yourself in a whole new way.
To find out more information about the course You Are Not Your Past
We spoke with Bruce Lipton's team in 2010; who has pioneered this research at a University level. They
said “we appreciate you and your work to support others in discovering their personal power. We appreciate you for it!” Mainstream personal growth and development has created a great shift concerning the use and power of positive energy and how it affects daily life, perception of life and life itself. We help people look deep within and let go of their self-‐sabotage by supporting spiritual growth, emotional intelligence, body awareness and intellectual understanding of the mind-‐body relationship. It is the heart center that the soul can heal. 'Living Consciously: In An Ego Driven Society' is Life Changing!
Choosing the Correct Words for Better Communications by Elaine Lockard, BA, CMEC, CTACC, CHP, CM
Remember that last awkward conversation with someone who used words you didn’t easily understand? Maybe they used slang terms, unusual words or even technical phrases to try to communicate their message to you. Did you feel like you needed a dictionary to make sense of it all?
While they may have been using proper English, they were not communicating effectively if you didn’t understand what they were saying. And just imagine how this is affecting their business and personal relationships! Below are some quick and effective tips to help avoid communication difficulties and misunderstandings in communicating with others; whether it’s on the phone, in a business memo or even an email where the rules of communication are being more vague and cloaked in acronyms and “email-‐speak.” Keep your communications clear with these tips:
1. Focus on using conversational, common and clear language until you get to know someone well. Don’t assume they will understand you.
2. Avoid using colorful words and phrases and slang terms since they may only be understood regionally or in a particular group. Without realizing it, you could be insulting someone!
3. In business, don’t use company-‐specific terms or abbreviations with customers or other colleagues outside your organization.
4. While email is a widespread tool of communication, remember how impersonal it really is. Always present the right voice and image in your communications, but especially in those dealing with business. Without careful thought, you risk being misunderstood and coming across as vague or confusing. You may even appear to be insensitive since the reader cannot properly assess your emotions through your face or inflections in your voice. Here are a few more tips specific to emails:
a. Always keep your emails straightforward.
b. More is better; explain yourself well.
c. Avoid abbreviations of text (you can use them with your friends, but not in business).
d. Never use emoticons in business; it screams “unprofessional!” (Save those for your friends too.)
e. Always proofread and use a dictionary! It’s tempting to rely on your computer’s spell check for correcting your spelling and grammar, but that will never be as good as a dictionary! For example: did you mean “your” or “you’re?” What about “weather” or “whether?” Spell check cannot pick up on these subtleties, but with the help of a dictionary, you can!
5. And finally, the
biggest tip, LISTEN WELL to the other person. Communication is a two-‐ way street! That’s why we have two ears and one mouth. Always listen more than you speak!
We all want -‐ and need -‐ to be understood. Learn to be flexible – and powerful -‐ with your words and conversations; your words have great power! Learn to use specific words fitting the situation and person being spoken to. Effective and proper communications skills, along with interpersonal skills, will help you make a great first impression and serve you and your audience every single day! What steps can you take today to improve your communication skills so you, as well as the other
you, as well as the other person, know you are clearly heard and understood? If you need assistance in honing your skills, schedule a free, informational conversation with me now at https://www.timetrade.com/book/9BPFK .

Spiritual Sales Coach Under Fire by Karen Monteverdi, CPC
http://sellingwithspirit.com
Tshombe has a contagious laugh, with a fun and engaging ability to speak on a multitude of topics. His disarming ability to use short stories to illustrate his experience in any given
situation is riveting. He’s got a million of antidotes and he’s not afraid to share them! I encourage you the reader, to take the opportunity and create a connection with him to discover for yourself his wit, charm and beautiful spirit. It will be worth your time!
I learn something new every time I talk to Tshombe. Are you wondering how to pronounce his name? He sends this link with every e-‐mail so you too can learn something new and fun… I will share it with you here.
When asked about how technology has transformed business and working with clients, Tshombe points out that technology hasn’t really changed human nature. The
media has changed the way we communicate. However, our ability to connect personally has remained mostly the same.
People still have the same concerns and desires to create a journey that is successful for them.
He shares, “The core foundation for success is the extent to which a prospect will know, like and trust us, and knowing that directs us in how we reach out to people” as service providers.
“We ask ourselves, ‘is what I’m doing furthering our relationship of trust’. “
TSHOMBE BROWN
This interview was an opportunity to learn from an expert and share it with our readership. I asked Tshombe to share some of his secrets with us.
“If there is a secret it would be this, to build a community while becoming known for what you do and who you do it for.
I think also going back to basics rather than jumping from thing to thing” (Bright Shiny Object Syndrome).
I asked Tshombe how does he stay up with technology and yet not get caught up in the Bright Shiny Object Syndrome?
He replied, “There are a million things we could do, but I always ask myself this what is working for me.”
He went on to quote C.J.
Hayden who said, “The magic formula for professional service marketing and sales is choosing a set of simple, effective things to do, and doing them consistently”.
Choosing technology that doesn’t get in the way and helps you seamlessly be proficient at your task is an important quality for my clients and me.
Consumers like sustainability of a business, so creating a consistent message over time creates an opportunity to build a following that understands what you offer.
If you sell professional services, however, it is equally important to make sure your marketing and sales processes are both effective and appropriate for your industry and
community.
The Internet has given us access to people all over the world. With the advent of social media and the ability to create deep relationships with people we have never met in person it has created fun new ways to share ourselves authentically with our world. I asked Tshombe how does this way of connecting with people change how we work and connect with our clients. His reply: “The world has become the town square of the past. What is fun about the connection online is that you can bring the relationship offline as well.
The key is to create relationships with people. That way when they need a product or service we are
the first ones they think of. Take Tshombe for example, he says that “whether online or off everything he does boils down to 4 things.
1) Build relationships that are deep and meaningful, where I am completely transparent.
2) Give value first, whether that is to colleagues or to potential clients or people who might be potential referral partners.
3) I use Twitter.com mostly for research and to reach out to colleagues and to potential referral partners.
With twitter I research the needs and desires of my prospects. I pay attention to how they talk about their issues and problems and
challenges and how they feel about how their life is, and to
really see if there is an opportunity to get to know them a little more.
4) For me the last thing would be continuing education, which I use online and offline.

hotel chain recently implemented a major new eco-‐friendly program in the form of its purchasing practices. Given that the average 100-‐room Marriott hotel uses approximately 10,000 key cards each year, each hotel produces about 50 lbs of key card waste material annually. To stem this waste, all Marriott hotels are now switching to recyclable green key cards made from a corn-‐by-‐product. Admittedly, if the Marriot chain consisted of only a handful of properties, saving 50 lbs of waste would be an admirable but not exactly amazing policy change. Fortunately, the Marriott is one of the largest
At the regional level, the City and County of San Francisco recently launched a pilot program, in conjunction with the Clinton Global Initiative, which will curb the amount of greenhouse gasses produced by the area’s large bus fleet. Utilizing map data and real-‐time route solving software provided by a pair of leading private companies, the program will curb emissions, reduce congestion, and even save up to 20 percent on annual fuel costs.

Going Green on Many Levels by Sam Marquit
Green initiatives at the local, regional, and global levels are changing the way that contractors must approach their projects. While sometimes complicating an already complex business, the trend in both public and private sectors comes as a welcome change to everyone seeking to preserve the planet's resources while remaining economically relevant.
hotel chains in the world and the simple change applies to some 24 million keys. All told, the policy change is expected to save close to 66 tons of plastic from being dumped into landfills every year. On a more singular note, the Palazzo Hotel & Resort in Las Vegas is proving that it is possible to boast eco-‐friendly practices without sacrificing quality. In fact, the numerous green practices of the Palazzo have gone so far that the 5-‐star establishment was recently named the “Most Eco-‐Friendly Hotel in America.” As one of the largest LEED-‐certified buildings, the Palazzo's environmental innovations range from massive water and energy conservation efforts to promoting alternative transportation for guests and employees.
Additionally, responsible recycling efforts during construction are thought to have diverted some 42,000 tons of waste from landfills. In short, from conception to implementation, a hotel known for luxury has proven that going green works. As a result other green Las Vegas hotels have embraced sustainable practices and are even beginning to innovate the industry. I have long had an interest in the emergence of green technologies and their application to the contracting world. The new emphasis on eco-‐friendly practices seems to prove that change is here to stay.

As an entrepreneurial independent contractor and home renovation / remodeling expert, I've made it a point to lend my expertise to the field of sustainable (green) building / LEED certified construction. Applying my current knowledge of home construction, architectural standards and certifications helps me to forecast the possible application and implementation of new green building materials and technologies. This one way I reduce my carbon footprint (made with real steel toe boots).
I got some news this week that really upset me. Someone who I know doesn’t like me said negative stuff about me to someone I like & respect. I spent three days just ANGRY and VENGEFUL and BOY AM I GONNA SHOW HIM! Those same three days I had a migraine, with all the
nasty symptoms that entails. When I wasn’t focusing on the bad news, I was focusing on the pain. Sometimes I focused on both. Last night I was ranting to my husband about ways I want to make this person stop bad mouthing me, and he said, “Are you bringing this on yourself?” Huh? He rephrased the question, “How long has this guy been like this?” “As long as I’ve known him.” “And, what have you done to stop him?” “Everything I can think of.” “So, why is this time different?”
Letting Go! by Jayde Gilmore – Wings Life Coaching
Oh, right. After a few minutes thought, I realized that this guy has made a decision about me based on bad information, is perfectly happy about that decision, and will not entertain any information to change that decision. So my option is to continue to beat my head against the brick wall, or… stop. Let go. I’ve found that for me to let go, it has to be kind of cathartic. I spent the evening praying, and meditating, and journaling (there is some ranting in my journal, don’t get me wrong!), and I woke up this morning refreshed and much more at peace
(and, migraine free!). Every spiritual practice that I’m aware of has some element of letting go. And there is an inner peace to be gained by letting God, Your Higher Power, The Divine, whatever you want to call it, take your stress, your anger, your worry. Letting go of that negativity and quieting the mind allows you to hear Their Voice and receive inspiration. Maybe there is a problem you’ve been chewing on and you can’t come up with a solution. Here’s some advice that always made me roll my eyes, but actually works if
you let it: Pray about it. Take some time, offer a short prayer about your problem and then sit quietly and listen. If you have a hard time with the idea of a deity/consciousness out there who wants to help you, try journaling about it. “Dear journal, I’m really struggling with ___________ and I don’t know how to fix it.” Then sit and write – just write, brainstorm, the important thing is don’t edit, don’t think about it, and DON’T STOP. Write for several minutes – 20 or 30, at least – and see what you come up with. Hopefully it goes without saying, but just in case: I’m not suggesting that your prayer be, “Dear God, please
give this guy a black eye every time he says something bad about me!” Try something more like, “Dear God, please help me be at peace with this person’s negativity and let it not affect me.” You journal prompt might be “How can I be at peace with this guy’s actions?” It’s not easy. Especially for those who haven’t had much of a spiritual practice, it’s hard to accept that something as apparently passive as just listening, or brainstorming on paper, can be helpful, but it really is. Try it.
I’d love to hear your experiences! How has prayer helped you?

With regard to our health, Mary-‐Ann’s story is one of the best examples of the Law of Agreement in action. This parable is carved right out of today’s headlines and is offered, humbly, in times
of great darkness to empower those who are able to integrate the message subtly imparted herein. MaryAnn is an attractive accountant in her late thirties who rides the commuter train to work every day in the city. She is single, friendly, lives with her mother, and is just the kind of person you’d like to meet. Our tale begins one day when MaryAnn boards the commuter train, sits down in her usual spot, and, across from her, a young man wearing a green camouflage jacket sits down, and he is carrying a
birdcage. The birdcage is empty and he sets it on the floor. Then he smiles cordially at MaryAnn, and she, being the outgoing type, returns his smile and nods. An unspoken communication begins, and they both ride the train for fifteen to twenty minutes and get off at their respective stations. The following day, the young man in the camouflage jacket gets on the train and sits down in the same place, as before— only this time he isn’t carrying the birdcage. Again, they smile and nod at each other. On this day, however, MaryAnn takes a longer look at him and notices that he appears to be a little pale.
She thinks nothing of this at first. But with each passing day, as he sits down across from her, MaryAnn sees that he is growing more and more pale, and he’s clearly losing weight and getting progressively weaker. By the end of the week, he has dark shadows under his eyes and is beginning to cough. This goes on throughout the week until, one day, he does not get on the train. MaryAnn wonders about this, and finally, after several days of not seeing him, her curiosity gets the best of her, and she asks the conductor if he knows what happened to the young man in the camouflage jacket. “He died last weekend,” the conductor says sadly. “It was the BV—the Bird Virus.”
MaryAnn mulls this over as she continues on her way to work. When she walks into the lobby of her office, there is a newspaper on an ornate coffee table, and as she passes by it, she can’t help but notice the day’s headlines. They are a little bigger, and considerably bolder, than normal, and they say, “BV Claims Many Lives!” Immediately, MaryAnn picks up the paper and begins to read the article, which covers the whole top half of the front page. It describes, in great detail, the same symptoms that the young man on the train had: paleness, rapid weight loss, progressive weakness, circles under the eyes, cough, quick decline, almost always fatal. And, further down, in the next paragraph, it goes on to say
that the BV is very contagious and there are “hot spots” where a person is more apt to catch the BV—places like airports, bus terminals, post offices, commuter train stations . . . MaryAnn is shocked, and in order to pull herself together before going on to work, she steps into the ladies’ room to splash her face with some cold water. As she dries herself off with a paper towel, MaryAnn looks in the mirror and notices a faint shadow taking form under her eyes! In a state of near panic, she sits at her desk for the next several hours trying to concentrate on her bookkeeping, but with very little success. At home that evening, while her mother is in the kitchen preparing their evening
meal, MaryAnn flips on the six o’clock news and it is ablaze with stories about the BV. The excited anchorwoman is describing all the symptoms in even greater detail while the screen is filled with footage of sick people, noisy, packed hospital emergency rooms, and sorrowful statistics of all sorts. After dinner, MaryAnn is feeling weak and goes to bed early. The next morning, she feels so bad that she can’t even go to work. She remains bedridden for three days, with all of the BV symptoms, one by one, beginning to manifest themselves. On the fourth day, her mother calls a doctor. The doctor, though
compassionate, is obviously distracted and in a hurry and is only too quick to make his diagnosis. “I’m afraid she has the BV,” he tells MaryAnn and her mother, and he prescribes some pills that are meant to make MaryAnn’s last days more comfortable. After this he says that there’s not much more he can do, and he leaves. Three days later, thinking that her beautiful daughter is going to die at any moment, MaryAnn’s mother calls a priest. But the priest her mother calls is not your average priest. He is a new-‐paradigm priest, and he knows only to see the wellness— never to see the sickness. He knows how to hold the light for others while they are unable to hold it for themselves.
And he sees MaryAnn in her Highest Light; completely well, happy, healthy, whole, and full of life. The priest holds this vision in his mind regardless of what anyone else tells him about her. He holds the template of her in her Highest Light—no matter what! Then he shows MaryAnn’s mother how to hold that same vision in her imagination, so she sees her daughter perfectly well and happy. He also teaches MaryAnn how to hold that image for herself. Before the priest leaves, he places his hands on MaryAnn’s head for a moment, then on her neck, then on her heart, and finally he massages her shoulders gently. As he does this, he sends the light and love of God through his hands to every cell, every
atom, every molecule, every strand of DNA in MaryAnn’s body (you can call it Reiki, Deeksha, Ilahinoor, Divine Light Transmission, Oneness Blessing—they all work). He fills her entire body, from head to toe, with Light! And then he leaves . . . Two hours later, MaryAnn is out of bed for the first time in two weeks. The next day, she is puttering casually around the house. Three days after that, she’s shopping. And later the following week, she is back at work—happy, healthy, and hummin’ with life—all because she ran into a new-‐paradigm priest: someone who knew how to hold the light for others, regardless of any and all evidence to the contrary!
But wait . . . there’s an epilogue to our tale. One morning, a week after MaryAnn went back to work, she was sitting on the commuter train when guess who boarded it and sat down right across from her? The young man in the green camouflage jacket! He wasn’t dead at all. The conductor was entirely mistaken. The young man was just overworked. He was fine. So, let’s take a closer look at MaryAnn’s story with new paradigm eyes. There were several places in it where MaryAnn bought into the sickness instead of the wellness. Can you name a few? Here they are, gently encoded for you: rotcudnoc
eht; reppapswen eht; swen vt ylthgin eht; rotcod eht; rorrim eht; .cte. As a final note: Isn’t it interesting that every time MaryAnn bought into the sickness and, therefore, created it for herself (our thoughts create our world), she also had the option to remain neutral or to withhold her agreement from it and go, Ohhh, or Mmmm and therefore not manifest it for herself?

BizRichment##The$Branch$Of$Service#
BizRichment™ primary purpose is to enrich the lives of business owners through business systems and processes to create a powerful mindset of self-support while making a difference in the world through service-based business.
BizRichment™ was founded in 2009 from the Healers Unite Lecture and further developed by The Meeting Place and Healers Unite Portland Movement and through the Portland Peace Conference.
The wake up call:
It was a stark realization to the group that 80% of all new coaches failed to create a self-sustaining income through coaching in the first year. Further discovery proved that 65% of practitioners in the healing community specifically alternative health industry went out of business in the first year. These statistics gave us pause, armed with the knowledge we could assist our community of healers, coaches and practitioners, through coaching and mentoring we began to see results. The overall statistics have changed in the national numbers. However, we noted that those businesses that chose to create a relationship with a coaching mastermind group, personal or executive coaching, began to see results right away. They increased their ability to maintain their success in “staying afloat” in the critical years.
