There are lots of reasons you shouldn’t give up, but only 1 reason you should.

July 31, 2015 by Lamisha

In the last two years of my business there have been moments when I seriously thought about throwing in the towel.  Moments when I thought I’d be better off dropping my dream all together and jumping back into the work force.

It wasn’t because I didn’t love what I was doing.  Not at all.

It was because things got hard, I got frustrated, and I felt lost.

I felt stuck and instead of listening to my intuition, I ignored it entirely.

Instead of asking for help or allowing it in, I thought I had to do it all by my little lonesome.

In short, it sucked!

And as I write this I am getting ready to celebrate my 2 year anniversary in my business in just a few days and I couldn’t be happier! I can’t believe I made it this far and what was once only a dream is now my current reality.

I had a TON of reasons I could’ve quit before.  I could’ve quit because:

  • Money wasn’t flowing
  • Potential clients were saying ‘No thanks’
  • Things got really hard
  • I didn’t know how to move forward
  • I was afraid I’d put all of my passion and it wouldn’t ‘work’

But despite it all, ultimately, I loved what I was doing.

When I get calls from clients telling me they took their big leap into something they never thought possible, I remember my why.

When I cry with clients as they have amazing breakthroughs and aha’s because I can relate to them so much, I remember my why.

And when I have that first call with a potential client who is sharing with me their hopes and desires for what they hope their life will become with my help, I remember my why.

The truth is this work that I do is far more than just a business.  It’s my passion and purpose and despite the fact that things have at times looked as though they weren’t ‘working’, that passion has never ceased.

When you are moving in the direction of your dreams with passion in your heart and purpose in your soul, there will be lots of moments of learning, growing, and evolving.

There will be times when you want to quit.  Times when everything on the outside looks broken and you wonder if it will ultimately work.

There will be many, many, many reasons to throw in the towel as you wonder if you are strong enough, smart enough, or if you are doing enough to make your dreams come true.

And the ONLY time you should quit, is if that passion and purpose have gone.

When your heart isn’t in it and the love for your vision transforms into something else as it may, that is the only time you should ‘quit’.

But honestly, that isn’t even quitting in my book.  That is simply a transformation of a dream into another vision that lights you up and sets your soul on fire and that can never be deemed a failure nor are you a quitter.

Dreams unfold and transform as much as we do and while you may have many reasons to ‘quit’, don’t do it unless your heart truly isn’t in it.

Keep going.  Keep reaching.  Keep dreaming and trust in the passion in your heart.  When you do…magic happens.

In other news, August is a HUGE month for me and my business.  Not only is August 1st the second anniversary of my business, but my birthday is on the 13th and with that comes BIG celebrations & gifts for YOU.

Food For Thought Friday & A Crazy Invitation~

July 10, 2015 by Lamisha

Ok friends, I am just now getting in the know with Periscope and recording fun chats about a variety of topics that you will definitely find helpful.  And if nothing else, you may even have a laugh at my struggle with this new platform as I learn the ins and outs of it.

If you are on Periscope, I’d love for you to follow me @LifeOnceDreamt and if not, why not hop on over and get signed up?  There are lots of great people on there already and you can have live interactions and chats which makes it so much fun!  As I said I’m still getting used to it so forgive my fumbles, but if you want to have a watch you can check out my last video on What’s Too Good For You? AKA Are You Worthy? for the next 24 hours.

I’m also toying with the idea of hosting specific live Q & A scopes for you to join and ask questions during the scope as a way to help, so let me know if you are interested in that!

Moving forward I will be saving them and uploading them to my Youtube channel so you can view them there as well. 🙂

In addition to my lovely Periscope news, I am also starting a Mindset Makeover Challenge on MONDAY over in my Love Your Life Tribe on Facebook.  The group is growing and I’d love to have you join us if you are interested.  It’s going to be a ton of fun and I really look forward to the magic that is happening there.  You can join us here.

AND

I am doing something I have wanted to do for a LONG time and that is offer a Pay What You Can option for working with me in some capacity & this time it’s for my newly released and reworked Grow, Evolve, Become-Membership Program.  I’ll be updating the info page about it soon, but here’s the basic scoop.

b a l l o o n(2)

When you join the Grow, Evolve, Become-Membership Program you will get instant access to:

–A Guided Visualization for Abundance (that has helped many of my clients manifest unexpected income, new clients, new jobs, and so much more!)
–111 Affirmations for Abundance & Success
–Money Manifesting Bonus Audio
–PLUS 1 Surprise gift to be revealed in the group when you join

Through out the rest of July (and every month after) you will also have access to:
–1- 90 Minute members only group coaching call
-Coaching and support around 1 topic each week that will help you break through your blocks and create a life you LOVE
-Customized audios, videos, PDFs, challenges etc. for the things you are struggling with most in the group
-Personalized intuitive guidance to keep you moving forward
-Guest teachers sharing their expertise for members only
-Hot-Spot Help Sessions providing individual support within the group
And so much more…

The total value for all of that is upwards of $400-500 a month!

But until Tuesday July 14th at 11:59pm you get to lock in at a rate that works for you.

Not sure what to pay? Here’s what we are seeing so far:

Low end- $10-20/month
Mid-range-$21-40/month
High end- $41+/month

I’d LOVE for you to join us for this journey so if you are interested please feel free to get signed up here: http://bit.ly/1HPXXqS
Once you have signed up and set your rate, we will set you up to lock in your “pay what you can” subscription rate for the rest of 2015.

This is a great option if the 1:1 coaching programs don’t quite fit your needs or you have budgetary concerns right now.  If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out.  We already have an awesome group of amazing women and I’d love to add you to the group!

3 Things I No Longer Believe About Money Thanks to Denise Duffield-Thomas

July 7, 2015 by Lamisha

Money-Bootcamp-Secret

Money is always a funny topic to talk about and for so many people it’s wiggle in their seat uncomfortable.

I used to feel the same way before I had done any mindset work around the topic.

In fact, for a long time my relationship with money was…well tumultuous.

I had a love/hate relationship with it.

Never really knowing what it felt like to always have more than enough, I was anxious at the thought of money for anything.  Spending it, making it, asking for raises, and dealing with debt made me cringe.  I thought having just enough to get by was a good thing and never dreamed that one day I would be an entrepreneur who’s only income was based on my gifts and talents.

(GASP)

Parts of me believed money was always hard to get and keep.  Growing up in a single parent household, money was tight most of the time and I learned never to ask for much more than what I actually needed because I didn’t want to add to the stress and anxiety of making ends meet.

As soon as I was old enough to work, I got multiple jobs because I thought that is what I had to do to survive and contribute in the world.

What I didn’t realize is that it was all in my head and that my thoughts were creating my reality.

Since then, I’ve made some big shifts to my mindset to really dig in and change my relationship with money and one of the BIGGEST things I have done is make an investment in myself by way of Denise Duffield-Thomas and her Lucky Bitch Money Bootcamp.

In the last year I have learned SO much about my money mindset and how to shift it and it’s changed everything for me.

Thanks to Denise the top 3 things I no longer believe about money are:

1.  Money is a limited supply and if I have more, you get less.  I used to live with the atrocious belief that if I have more it means you get less or vice versa.  I thought that somewhere there was a big vat of money that was in circulation and if I had more than my ‘fair’ share, then someone else had to have less because….math.  But what I have learned is that not only is there MORE than enough to go around, I have the ability and control to manifest as much or as little as I want…when my mindset is in the right place.

2.  Money is hard.  From the time I started working, I thought I had to work long hours and several jobs to make enough money to live.  I pushed hard and at one point was working 3 jobs just to have a bit of extra spending money.  It wasn’t fun and no matter how many hours I worked or how much overtime I volunteered for, it seemed like I could never get ahead.  After working through the bootcamp (and soon moving through it a second time), I found that money didn’t have to be hard.  That with the right mindset and focus, money could flow to me with ease and grace and it does on a regular basis.

3.  You can’t do what you love AND make a boatload of cash.  When I graduated college I didn’t know anyone who was doing what they loved and making money doing it.  Honestly everyone I knew (adults included) was working in a job they didn’t necessarily hate (though some totally did) to make ends meet.  They chose the path of least resistance so they could work, live, and save for retirement when they were finally ready to live a life they loved.  I followed suit until my passion became louder than my logic and I decided to follow my heart.  Starting my business I still had no idea how I would make enough money to replace a full-time income, but what Denise showed me is that it is not only possible, but 100% probable when your mindset is in the right place. (Do you see a theme here?)

Now, I’ve taken what I have learned over the years about money and mindset and I use it to help other women do the things they once thought were impossible.  And I openly and honestly share my journey because I want you to know that this didn’t happen overnight.  I made an investment in changing my relationship with money by investing in Denise’s Lucky Bitch Money Bootcamp.

It’s been a game changer for me as a woman, a mother, a wife, and an entrepreneur.  But the truth is you don’t have to be all of those things for this to help you.  The insight and support Denise provides in her program is unlike anything I’ve ever done and this month she is closing out the old program and will be releasing the new program at a new, higher rate.

If shifting your mindset around money is something you feel called to do, I encourage you to check her out.  (Full-disclosure: I am an affiliate for Denise’s program only because I 100% believe in what she is doing and I am a part of her amazing community.  So, any purchases you make through the links I share with you will result in me being compensated. )

And if this is the first time you have ever heard about Denise, she is hosting a FREE webinar tonight at 7pm EST to discuss Mindset Shifts You Need to Create Passive Income.  It’s free and if you can’t make it live, sign-up using the link so you will get the recording.

You can also check out more info about the bootcamp here or check out her amazing free resources that I share with all of my clients because they are awesome!

If you are looking for even more mindset help in general, I am hosting a FREE Mindset Makeover Challenge in my Love Your Life Tribe on Facebook starting Monday July 13th and I’d love for you to join us.  This group is full of amazing women like YOU who are looking to create an open, airy, love-filled life of their dreams.  You will be in amazing company. 😉

Don't stress out. Breathe.

My word is FREEDOM…What’s yours? (Plus a free invitation for YOU.)

July 1, 2015 by Lamisha

It feels like forever since my last post and that’s because I’ve been on vacation and piecing together my next steps.  The good news is I am back and I have a lot of GREAT things up my sleeve for you.  But, before I share all of that with you (soon I promise), I want to share some of my most recent realizations.

All this traveling I’ve been able to do this year so far, I realized I have had a theme bubbling up my entire life and it is exactly the kind of life I want to create.

That theme is FREEDOM.

Many (many) moons ago, I wouldn’t have known what it was because I was dealing with so much turmoil and strife, but today I can honestly look at my life as a whole and say what I truly desire is freedom in ALL forms.

I want to experience freedom in love (thank you SCOTUS for making that possible in all 50 states in the US finally).

I want to experience freedom in my finances (thank you Denise Duffield-Thomas for helping me clear my blocks to be open to more abundance.)

I want to experience freedom in my time and how I choose to spend my time on a daily basis (thanks boss-aka me!).

And I am finally embracing the fact that I want to experience freedom in what I create and share with YOU.

You see over the years, I’ve tried to make all of my desires fit nicely into little square boxes even though the contents were hanging out in odd (and fun) shapes and sizes.  I realized this weekend that the only thing clean, tidy, square boxes are good for are moving- you know when you have to pack a moving truck and feel like you are playing Tetris to make everything fit.

I don’t fit into one clean and tidy box and I bet you don’t either. 

I’m a bit messy and oddly-shaped at times, but it’s what makes me unique.  What I desire today may change form in a few months, but that’s the true beauty of evolution and growth isn’t it?

Your desires, wishes, and dreams are as diverse as your experiences in this life and I want you to know it’s OKAY to have all those (sometimes conflicting) desires because in the end it’s all a part of YOU.

You will at times drop the things that are no longer serving you.  You will de-clutter your dreams, desires, and wishes and peel back the layers to reveal what is really important to you right here and right now.  And despite what gets left on the editing room floor, life will feel amazing for you because in the end YOU get to choose what stays and what goes.

My biggest realization over the last 2 weeks is the freedom that I not only desire and am now totally embracing, but also the freedom I help my clients attain.

And let’s be clear, freedom means something different to everyone.  For me it might be about time and money and for someone else it might be entirely about their career.  But, what I want YOU (and every other woman walking this planet) to know is that YOU have the FREEDOM to choose the life you live.  You have the FREEDOM to break free from whatever has you stuck and to choose differently.  But most of all you have the FREEDOM to decide the kind of life you live and experience while you are in this blessed body of yours.

And I want to help you get to that FREEDOM, whatever it means to you because I know that you have an amazing life to live and it’s time to make your dreams come alive starting NOW.

The Facebook Tribe I created a few months ago is under construction and with it comes a new name (TBA) and lots of awesome tools, tips, and challenges to help empower YOU to live that amazing life you want…right now.  And instead of waiting for all the new pieces to be in place, I’m inviting you to join us today, before everything is perfect and the new name is revealed.

In this group you will get access to free information, special offers, free coaching threads, inspiration, and lots of additional life-changing information that will empower you in truly beautiful ways.  This is phase 1 of the amazing new things to come, so hop on over and be one of the first people to know about what else is coming down the pipe.

Joining is simple just click here and request entry into the group.

P.S. I have a super fun and life-changing challenge coming up soon for people in the group only so make sure you join!

What really changes your life isn’t Motivation, it’s Inspiration

June 17, 2015 by Lamisha

I used to think that I needed the motivation to do things-you know things like working out and eating better.

I’d look to my super-fit friends and think “Gosh if only I was motivated to do those things…”

Turns out it’s not about motivation at all…it’s ALL about inspiration.

Here’s why…

When we are motivated to do something, it’s likely from some external source.  We follow in someone else’s footsteps because we see the results they are getting and we want the same for ourselves.

Seems logical, but the problem with motivation is that it doesn’t last.  The fire we initially feel may last a few days, but then slowly our energy wains and we are back where we started.

Now inspiration is something entirely different.

Inspiration in my experience has always been that quiet voice or nudge I feel inside that says “Oh yeah that’s a great idea.”  It may not have as much fuel and fire as motivation does initially, but it lasts much longer.

Not only that, it also is typically connected with other inspirational thoughts and nudges that keep you going.

Imagine for a second you are an author writing a book.  Do you look for the motivation to write the book or do you have the inspired thoughts come through that cause you to begin writing?  Chances are it’s the inspiration that sends you back to the page.

The same thing works with how we create a life we love.  It’s not about being motivated to get stuff done or to move forward on our path.  It’s the sometimes whispers of inspiration that lead us to take action.

Does motivation work?  Yes to get you started, but if you are forcing yourself to keep going then it likely won’t last long.  And it will be a long, hard road to get to where you going and nobody wants that.

Inspiration on the other hand feels natural, much easier, and it flows.  At times when I am following my inspiration, it just feels like a no-brainer thing to do.  No stress, worry, or struggle.  Just EASE.

Now, doesn’t that sound better than working, pushing, and forcing things after your motivation wears off?

For some it sounds too good to be true, but I guarantee that inspiration works and it’s the best way to make your dreams come true.

It’s what I teach all of my clients and what I’d love to teach you.

So, tell me what is it that you feel inspired to do right now?  Share in the comments below.  And if you are interested in learning more about this easy, fun, freeing, and flowing way of doing things, schedule a FREE 30-Minute Consultation now and let’s chat!
