2015 Lessons: The things I learned so you don’t have to

As 2015 begins to wind down, I’ve found myself reflecting on some of the major life (and business) lessons I’ve learned this year, many of which have brought me to a new level as an entrepreneur and coach. In fact, one of the things we are doing over in the 2016 Planning Party is taking stock of what we have accomplished and the lessons we have learned over the past year before we move forward into creating our vision for 2016 (using the 2016 Create Your Shining Year Workbooks).

To be honest it’s one of the most eye-opening exercises I’ve ever done.

2015 has taught me a variety of things but the most important lessons I’ve shared below.

All the answers I need lie within. Now, this is an obvious lesson for many people, but it’s one I tend to learn over and over again. While many of us want someone to tell us what we should do in life, we really have all we need to make those decisions for ourselves. This year, I’ve learned to tap into my intuition a lot more than I have in the past and have really begun trusting that inner voice that tells me when to relax and when to take risks. It’s not always second nature, but I think I have finally learned that whatever answer I am looking for…going within is always the first step.

I am a powerful manifest-star! I’ve always known that manifesting is amazing and that we all have the ability to manifest our desires with ease and grace, but this year has shown me just how powerful I am. In the last 12 months, I’ve manifested 4 of my best months, $3K in 5 days, $3K in 24 hours and so much more. It’s really not about the money as much as it’s about understanding that we all have the power to create my own reality instantly and the power lies within our thoughts.

My mindset practice is non-negotiable. As I teach my clients what we think and believe is directly related to what we manifest in our reality and on the days when I skip my mindset practice…all hell breaks loose. My mindset practice is my anchor. It’s all about building new beliefs and visualizing the future I am creating everyday and it’s imperative that I take that time for myself. If you don’t already have a mindset practice, I highly recommend creating one asap. It’s the most valuable tool I use.

There’s never just ONE way. We live in a world of infinite possibilities. For a long time I tried to do the things that the ‘successful’ coaches and entrepreneurs were doing because obviously it worked for them, but after trying things and not getting the results, I realized there are so many other ways of doing things. My way will always be more fun, in alignment with who I am and who I serve and that’s what matters anyway. As long as I do what I love and keep moving forward. It’s always going to work out.

It can always be easy…so let it be. I often have a tendency to make things more difficult than they need to be and this year I’ve learned that everything can truly be easy…if I allow them to be. By simply letting go and allowing things to unfold with faith and trust, I’ve seen miraculous things happen from helping amazing women all over the world to finding simple solutions to some of my biggest challenges. And I’ve learned that if it starts to feel a bit hard or I’m ‘efforting’ too much, it’s time for a break.

I am deeply grateful for the lessons of 2015 and am looking forward to the insights and wonders that are awaiting me in 2016.

P.S. I have just a few more spots left to help women like you Break Free From Stuck and if you are ready to start 2016 with passion, purpose, and SOUL then schedule your FREE 30-Minute Consultation below and let’s chat.

Hello 2015: I’m Ready!

January 6, 2015 by Lamisha

Hey Gorgeous,

How’s 2015 treating you so far? Are you ready for this to be your best year yet?

I know I am.

Typically around this time of year, I am hitting the ground running on my planning, dreaming, and scheming for the year ahead. I grab my Leonie workbook and light some candles and get busy filling in all the details of 2014 and do a big release of everything that no longer serves me mentally and physically.

This year was a bit different. When the holidays rolled around, I was literally ill. My entire family got sick around the same time and it’s taken me a few weeks to get back to my normal, healthy self.

Thankfully, I’m on the mend and was able to get busy on some super exciting things coming up that I will share with you soon. (I know, I know secrets, secrets are no fun, but this one is worth the wait!)

So, since I didn’t get a chance to say a big goodbye to 2014 and hit the ground running right out of the gate in 2015, I’m playing catch up.

And I’m ok with it.

In fact, it seems that while this year is going to be about massive action, risk taking, and dreaming (and living) in a big way, I am easing into the year. Not only do I not make resolutions, but I am taking a bit more time to dream, set my intentions, and get clear on what 2015 means to me.

In years past, I’ve written a letter to my future self, created a vision board, and even set my theme for the year all before the new year even began. This year, I’m doing things a little differently.

I’ve picked my themes for the year and they are: Going Pro (for my business of course) and to Live Big (in my personal life). The underlying theme for both is to have FUN.

What’s life without a bit of fun, dreaming, and enjoying the ride right? Have you set your theme for the new year? Done some intention setting for what you want to manifest in the year ahead? It almost feels like a beautiful blank sheet of paper that is so perfect, you almost don’t want to paint on it, but where’s the fun in that?

I want to hear about your BIG, BOLD, Dreams for 2015. What are they? Share in the comments below and let us support you and add fuel to the flame as we all get into action for our dreams to come to fruition.

In the meantime, if you are interested in taking your dreams to another level by hiring a coach, let’s schedule a free 30-minute consultation to chat about your vision and what you want to create for 2015. It’s your time to shine! So, let’s get busy!

A Few of My Favorite (Planning) Things

** Some of the recommendations below are through affiliate programs, however I only share products I truly love and have successfully used. **

The holiday season is in full swing and many of us are starting to make plans for the new year.

I have to admit, I love this time of year. The sparkly lights, giving hearts, dreams of new things on the horizon, and the belief that anything is possible….of course I love all of that whether it’s the season or not.

As I begin dreaming of what 2015 holds for me, I want to share with you some of the tools I’ve used in the last year that have changed my life (and year) for the better. They are things I highly recommend to anyone looking to amp up their planning this year to ensure they have the best year yet.

When it comes to planning and dreaming, I am not your typical goal setter. In fact, I am going to be writing a post about this for The Huffington Post soon. I’m not the hard and fast goal setter with a map and strict deadlines to meet. Those methods just don’t work for me. I’m way more creative than that and I prefer to set intentions vs goals.

Planning:

For that I use Leonie Dawson’s fabulous workbook. 2014 was the first year I have implemented this amazing workbook and I am so happy I did. If you are looking for a way to say goodbye to 2014 and welcome in the new with a bit of creativity, flair, and a sacred practice, this is for you. And if you have a business you want to grow with some amazing new clients, offerings, and new ideas, she has a life & biz workbook for you.

Starting out 2014 with this workbook in my hot little hands was just what I needed to keep focused and it’s something I used the entire year. Check it out and if it feels right for you, I highly encourage you grabbing one of your own.

In fact, you can check out all the things it includes here: 2015: Creating Your Shining Year

Inspiration:

I started 2014 with a bang and tons of inspiration as I was reading one of my favorite books of all time and one that I recommend to anyone and everyone when I have the chance to and it is Inspired & Unstoppable: Wildly Succeeding in Your Life’s Work! by Tama Kieves.

Not only is this book one that I hold near and dear to my heart, but it is one that lit a fire inside me in a way no other book has. It’s all about paving your own path and letting your inspiration guide you to what is right for you in life & business. It is such a wonderful book that I am thinking of reading it again.

There is so much good info and best of all it reinforces what I strongly believe in and that is that when you follow your path, your inspiration is truly the guide. If you are looking for a highly inspiring read, check this one out.

Money Stuff:

I’ve shared this before, but it’s worth sharing again. I coach so many women around money and how they think and feel about money in general. It’s something we all deal with (including me). As I think about the new year with new income goals and intentions, there is a ton of stuff that comes up regarding money mindset and I promise that your money mindset is far more important than any of the actions you do in regards to money.

You also may know that I love Denise Duffield-Thomas’s work and I think she’s simply fantastic. Her books, her free audios, her Lucky Bitch program, etc. are all amazing and she has put together a holiday bundle that is to die for!! Not only that, but it’s at a super low rate until December 17th.

Check out her Lucky Bitch Christmas Bundle that includes: Lucky Bitch Manifesting Course, Meditations, Live Event Recordings, & her audio books. Crazy high value bundle for just $97. I have used her amazing meditations, listened to her books, and recordings and it has changed my money mindset in huge ways.

Dreaming, Scheming, & Visualizing 2015

The last thing I wanted to share with you about my planning process is something I am formalizing to do on my own and as an offer to you. When you think of what you want to accomplish for the new year, so many people think about the regular inside-the-box things like losing weight, saving money, or quitting some unhealthy task and all of those things are fine and good, but I have created a process that digs a bit deeper into a more meaningful and creative way of dreaming big for the year ahead.

It’s a process that I’ve done on my own and one I LOVE doing with other people (especially business owners) because I get to spark some ideas in my clients that they never would have thought about on their own.

This process is what I call Dream 2015. It’s a journey we take together in a 90-minute call where I ask you a bunch of questions to highlight what is most important to you both in your personal and professional life. We discuss how you want to feel. What you want to do. New things you want to try and I coach you around what is truly important for you.

For the duration of the call you are asked not to take notes, but instead to immerse yourself in the experience. To think, feel, imagine, brainstorm, and respond based on what feels best for you and after the call I will deliver an organized PDF of all the things we chatted about include a few next step items to help you get a jump start on your vision for the new year.

If you are a business owner this is especially fun because we will begin brainstorming awesome offers, collaborations, projects, and bring up some things to grow your business that you never thought about.

This offer is good for a limited time, so if you are interested, snag your spot here and let’s help you get dreamy so 2015 is your best year yet!

I want to hear from you. What are some of your favorite planning tools or practices for ensuring you have the best year yet? Share in the comments below as others may be looking for more inspiration. 🙂

L. E. A. P. Into 2015

December 2, 2014 by Lamisha

Happy Tuesday Lovelies!!!

I have been hinting at this offer for a few weeks both on Facebook and in my VIP newsletters and I am so happy to finally share this with you.

Ever since I started my business I’ve had this vision of working with a group of women side-by-side to help them take the leap into the life they not only want, but the life they deserve. As we approach the new year, I thought it would be a great time to create a group program to help you take that leap you’ve always wanted to take.

Before I reveal what it is and how to get signed up, I want you to think about something…

Last year as we moved into the fresh new year of 2014, what dreams and aspirations did you have going into the year?

With a clean slate ahead of you, you probably had a ton of energy and focus to take big action right?

But after a while, things got back to ‘normal’ and the sparkle of the new year began to fade and some of those big, bold dreams might have been placed on the back burner.

Over time they grew dusty and you might have revisited them a few times only to put them down again because life got in the way or you began to wonder if it is even possible to achieve.

But…

What if instead of starting the year with a big, bold dream alone, you started with a group of like-minded women aiming for their own big dreams?

What if you had the support of a coach to guide you through the steps to envision, create, and finally live that dream you’ve wanted for so long?

What if you could identify the junk holding you back and you could learn tools to help you clear the beliefs that are no longer serving you.

What if this is the year that you learn the steps that will change your life forever?

You are getting the opportunity to make 2015 the best year yet with the Leap 2015 group program.

This is a program that will not only guide you through the steps to manifest the life of your dreams (and anything else you want), but it will also help you uncover what is holding you back and help you begin to clear the way to take big inspired action.

This program will teach you how to harness the Universal power you’ve always had, but didn’t know how to use.

It’s time to try something a bit different. To do something you haven’t done before and to reach new heights.

It’s time to LEAP!

Beginning in January 2015, myself and up to 10 other amazing women like you will come together for a 4 week coaching program that will guide, support, and inspire you to make 2015 the best year yet. We will go on a quest to identify your vision for the year ahead, dig deep into the beliefs that have held you back for too long, get over the ‘how’ hurdle, and step fully into inspired action so your dreams become your reality sooner rather than later.

And the best part is you can use the same manifestation steps you will learn in the program and apply them to anything you desire.

So what do you say? Are you ready to make 2015 THE year everything changes?

If so, hop on over HERE to get all the details on how you can get signed up for this amazing offer. I’m limiting the group to 10 women and depending on the response, I may or may not be opening another round. If you are interested, now is the time to take the plunge. And honestly, this is one of the best values you have ever seen!

I am so excited to start the year with a bang and to help you make 2015 YOUR year. The question is…Are you ready?

A Look Into Your Future…

October 17, 2014 by Lamisha

Where will you be in 2015? I know it’s an odd question for the middle of October 2014, but think about it.

Imagine where you will be. What will you be doing? What doors are opening for you? What dreams are you achieving?

For you, it might look like the unveiling of your new business website or booking your very first client.

Or maybe the book you’ve always wanted to pitch is now being sent to the publishers for a final edit.

Maybe you find yourself booking your flights & accommodations for spending 6 months traveling the world.

Or you see yourself quitting that job you hate and stepping into the career of your dreams with more money, more purpose, and passion than ever before.

Maybe you just signed the lease for the brick & mortar shop of your dreams and are filling it up with all kinds of creative goodies that people will love.

Or you see yourself drawing, painting, writing, and creating amazing pieces that people are just breaking down your door to buy.

Maybe you are doing what you have always dreamed and that is spending time at home with your children while your creative business takes flight.

Or you see yourself putting the finishing touches on your home art studio and getting ready for your very first art showcase.

Maybe your dream is something else. Maybe it’s a bit smaller or much bigger than any of the things I’ve listed above, but the common denominator in all of those examples is that they are all possible. Every single detail. Anything you can imagine for your ideal life is possible.

But, you must first take the leap.

I want you to take a moment today and look at where you are. Not where you have been or what opportunities you have missed in the past. Look at where you are today.

Without the leap you will stay where you are. Where life is ‘ok’ and you settle for what you have. Your heart will push you and your desires will pull you, but without that leap, you stay exactly where you are. Dreaming of…one day, when all the pieces fit together and your dream is delivered magically to your front door.

But it doesn’t happen like that. You have to decide to take the first step. To utilize your freedom of choice to decide to stay where you are where it’s “safe” or leap out of your comfort zone and embrace the life you have always wanted.

I want you to ask yourself this question: What do I want most out of life? What is my vision for the future? Think about it. Paint the picture. Enjoy the feeling of having it already done.

And then ask yourself this: Am I ready? Am I ready to do what needs to be done? To take the leap and trust that the how will be revealed to me? Am I ready?

And if you answered “YES” then I invite you to schedule a 30-minute clarity call to find out how we can make that happen and the options that are available to you for getting started on that amazing dream of yours now. Not when the clocks strikes 12am on December 31st and we enter a new year, but right NOW.

You have the chance to move into 2015 living your dream, but you have to take the first step. I have a few coaching spots open for 2014, so if you are ready to get moving and live the freedom that the life of your dreams will bring, schedule your 30-minute clarity call below.
