<p><img align="right" alt="Walt Disney World at Christmas 2010" height="315" hspace="10" src="http://www.growyourdivinebusiness.com/home/wp-content/uploads/disney_xmas(1).jpg" style="width: 218px; height: 288px" vspace="10" width="250" />Recently, I was clearing out my DVR and came across a holiday special from HGTV, <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/videos/the-holidays-at-disney/46552.html" target="_blank">&ldquo;Behind The Magic: Disney Holidays</a>&rdquo;. As I watched it, all I could think of was, &ldquo;WOW! What an amazing example of how<strong> organization and planning can help you accomplish even the most monumental tasks</strong>.&rdquo;</p>
<p>As <strong>solo-entrepreneurs</strong>, many small business owners feel <strong>burdened by the number of ideas they&rsquo;d like to implement </strong>in their business each year. They can imagine in their minds eye what they want for their business, but they get totally <strong>overwhelmed</strong> when it comes to actually <strong>making these ideas a reality</strong>. So they take<strong> no action at all</strong>, keeping them stuck and their <strong>business stagnant</strong>.</p>
<h2>The truth is, it doesn&rsquo;t have to be overwhelming at all and the main ingredients are planning, preparation and organization.</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>In fact, all it takes is&hellip; </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>A clear understanding of your desired outcome</li>
<li>A list of key milestones on the journey that take you from where you are to where you want to be</li>
<li>A clear step by step action plan for each phase of your journey A solid system for organizing thoughts and action steps along the way</li>
<li>And, a few foundational systems to help you take action effortlessly and easily</li>
</ul>
<p>I am a firm believer that <strong>investing time up front</strong> to plan, organize and prepare for an important project not only <strong>guarantees successful execution</strong>, it also<strong> saves loads of time, energy and resources </strong>over the long haul. Obviously the folks at Disney agree. Imagine taking on this project!</p>
<p><strong>Transforming the Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts is a yearlong project</strong>, and eleven of the twelve months of the year are spent, organizing, preparing and planning the execution of this MASSIVE undertaking. They have one month, a staff of about 100 and the restriction of only being able to work 3rd shift after the parks are closed to transform Disney&rsquo;s four major theme parks and all its resorts and vacation properties into a magical holiday scene by installing:</p>
<ul>
<li>1,300 trees ranging in size from 8 ft. to 65 ft.</li>
<li>15 miles of decorated garland</li>
<li>300,000 yards of ribbon</li>
<li>1,300 wreaths</li>
<li>8.5 million lights</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Oh and did I mention that each morning the park has to be &ldquo;Guest Ready&rdquo; by 7 or 8am?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Well the folks at Disney have it down to a science.</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>They begin by planning the theme for each area of every park and resort</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Then they take each theme and create an inventory of everything that&rsquo;s involved in accomplishing their desired outcome from supplies to placement to equipment</p>
</li>
<li>Once this is done, they formulate a step by step plan of execution for each theme</li>
<li>Finally, they overlay all the plans in one massive calendar of events to identify any conflicting priorities or projects</li>
<li>By the time the actual execution part comes around, they are so well prepared that it all goes off without a hitch.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>So next time you feel overwhelmed by all the ideas you have for your business, stop, take a breath and remember the story of how Disney magically transforms their properties each holiday season.</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>And know that you can transform your own business by:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Having a clear vision of your desired outcome (Always begin with the end in mind)</li>
<li>Creating a map of key milestones you will need to accomplish along the way</li>
<li>Identifying the information, resources, and equipment you will need to move forward on your path</li>
<li>Breaking each milestone down into easy, manageable and executable action steps</li>
<li>Integrating these action steps into the larger plan/calendar for your business</li>
<li>Stepping forward and taking action to make your vision a reality!</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>You CAN have the business of your dreams and the magic is all in the plan!</h2>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;ve struggled with creating a simple, organized and achievable plan for your business, I&rsquo;d love to help!&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Please feel free to post the part of the planning process that keeps you from moving forward.<br />

Wednesday, February 11th, 8-9pm Eastern<br />
(Can&#8217;t make the live call? &#8211; No Problem! I&#8217;m recording it for you!)</h5>
<h4>Are you a soul-based business owner whose business isn&#8217;t exactly thriving like you expected?</h4>
<p>The fact is, you CAN create a prosperous business that supports you and helps more of your &#8220;perfect&#8221; clients.</p>
<p>In fact, on this FREE call, I am going to share with you <strong>7 common obstacles that keep passionate business owners just like you from experiencing the GROWTH you deserve</strong>.  Then, I&#8217;m going to give you some <strong>simple strategies</strong> to overcome each one so you and your business can<strong> THRIVE in 2010</strong>!</p>
<p>If you are you ready to leave your struggles behind and experience a BIG business breakthrough &#8211; then take the first step to creating business abundance and join me for this FREE call. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.kickstartcart.com/SecureCart/SecureCart.aspx?mid=3F1BAE79-AD2A-4846-ACD7-B43D8541BBC1&amp;pid=98034c9781874f52b796f51129102586&amp;bn=1" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45772a;"><strong>Click Here To Register Now&#8230;</strong></span></a></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re like most soul-based, spirit-minded business owners, you started your business to be a <strong>catalyst for growth and transformation</strong> in others and to <strong>experience personal freedom and financial abundance</strong>. That vision is awesome, but you&#8217;ve probably experienced the reality that just following your passion to help others doesn&#8217;t bring in the clients (or the money for that matter).  You’ve most likely have realized that the whole growing your business thing can be downright frustrating and a lot harder than you expected. It doesn’t have it be – let me share my experience with you.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been there myself. I totally get what you are going through! When I first left the corporate world to start my own business I was doing work I loved, but I was playing small.  I had no BIG vision for my business and no plan in place to ensure success.  I bounced from one project to another resulting in a massive struggle to attract paying clients.  The truth is, I had no idea how I was going to get from struggling to thriving.  My savings was dwindling and I was stressed out all the time and constantly worried about money.</p>
<p>It was time for me to change my mindset and change the way I was doing business.  No more playing small for me and NO MORE flying by the seat of my pants without a plan.</p>
<p>Now &#8211; a little over a year later! -</p>
<p>I have a <strong>constant flow of perfect clients</strong> who value my services, I have <strong>quadrupled my income</strong>, I am clear on my <strong>BIG business vision</strong> AND I have a solid plan that is projected to <strong>catapult my business over the six-figure mark in 2010</strong>. </p>
<p>I want to share my experience and my extensive knowledge with you to help you do the same.  If you are ready to step up into your BIG business vision, I&#8217;d love to have you join me at 8pm on February 11th for my FREE teleclass:</p>

(Can&#8217;t make the live call? &#8211; No Problem! I&#8217;m recording it for you!)</h5>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">Are you a soul-based business owner whose business isn&#8217;t exactly thriving like you expected?</h4>
<p style="text-align: left;">The fact is, you CAN create a prosperous business that supports you and helps more of your &#8220;perfect&#8221; clients.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In fact, on this FREE call, I am going to share with you <strong>7 common obstacles that keep passionate business owners just like you from experiencing the GROWTH you deserve</strong>.  Then, I&#8217;m going to give you some <strong>simple strategies</strong> to overcome each one so you and your business can<strong> THRIVE in 2010</strong>!</p>
<p>If you are you ready to leave your struggles behind and experience a BIG business breakthrough &#8211; then take the first step to creating business abundance and join me for this FREE call. </p>

<p>If you&#8217;re like most soul-based, spirit-minded business owners, you started your business to be a <strong>catalyst for growth and transformation</strong> in others and to <strong>experience personal freedom and financial abundance</strong>. That vision is awesome, but you&#8217;ve probably experienced the reality that just following your passion to help others doesn&#8217;t bring in the clients (or the money for that matter).  You’ve most likely have realized that the whole growing your business thing can be downright frustrating and a lot harder than you expected. It doesn’t have it be – let me share my experience with you.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been there myself. I totally get what you are going through! When I first left the corporate world to start my own business I was doing work I loved, but I was playing small.  I had no BIG vision for my business and no plan in place to ensure success.  I bounced from one project to another resulting in a massive struggle to attract paying clients.  The truth is, I had no idea how I was going to get from struggling to thriving.  My savings was dwindling and I was stressed out all the time and constantly worried about money.</p>
<p>It was time for me to change my mindset and change the way I was doing business.  No more playing small for me and NO MORE flying by the seat of my pants without a plan.</p>
<p>Now &#8211; a little over a year later! -</p>
<p>I have a <strong>constant flow of perfect clients</strong> who value my services, I have <strong>quadrupled my income</strong>, I am clear on my <strong>BIG business vision</strong> AND I have a solid plan that is projected to <strong>catapult my business over the six-figure mark in 2010</strong>. </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I want to share my experience and my extensive knowledge with you to help you do the same.  If you are ready to step up into your BIG business vision, I&#8217;d love to have you join me at 8pm on January 27th for my FREE teleclass:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>7 Common Obstacles That Keep<br />
Soul-Based Businesses from Thriving<br />
And How To Overcome Them!</strong></p>
<p>On this call, I&#8217;m going to share with you seven common obstacles that keep many soul-based business owners struggling and playing small (yup, I was guilty of most of them!), how both me and my clients have overcome them and how you can too!</p>

<p> ~  How YOU can attract an abundance of perfect clients who truly value your services and will thrive as a result of your services.</p>
<p> ~ Why most soul-based business owners hit a wall and struggle to grow their business and how you can create a prosperous and sustainable business model instead.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">It is so easy to get caught up in our ToDo lists and the day to day operation of our business that we forget why we became our own boss in the first place and we begin to lose our passion for what we do.  We let the clutter of daily tasks detract from our ability to be the creative souls we are and our business suffers for it. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Why does business suffer?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Your business suffers because when you focus solely on the should&#8217;s, the gotta do&#8217;s and continuously checking things off your list, you get tired, irritable and uninspired really fast. Before you know it, you stop creating and that thwarts the growth of your business.  Instead of growing, you become the hamster on the wheel or the person in the pool, treading water.  Any forward movement is quickly halted. </span></p>
<p><strong>So how can you re-ignite your passion and creativity to catapult your business to new levels?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The answer is simple, but not always easy.  Just unplug!  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">HINT:  If you are reading this and thinking, &#8220;hmmm, that sounds good, but there is no way I can take time away now.&#8221;  Then YOU are more than likely already past the point of needing to unplug.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>The reality is, you need to be in balance in order to truly thrive in life and in business. </strong> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Taking action is great and an absolute necessity to grow personally and in your business, but the rest and relaxation that come from unplugging are equally important.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>So, even if it&#8217;s just for a day, have the courage to turn off your computer, step away from your ToDo list and just BE!</strong>  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Do something you love or do nothing at all.  Nap, take a walk, laugh &#8211; and before you know it, you&#8217;ll be re-energized, re-inspired and your creative juices will be flowing.  And it just might happen that the idea for the new product or service you&#8217;ve been struggling to bring forward will flow into your consciousness like magic.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Creativity, Inspiration and Growth &#8211; </strong></span><strong><span style="font-size: small;">That&#8217;s the magic that happens when you step away from the busy-ness of your business and have the courage to unplug!</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">My challenge to you is to schedule a few hours this week or a full day in the next month to completely unplug.  And, I&#8217;d love to hear the magic that happens for you when you do!  </span></p>

<p>Over the last couple of weeks, things have really begun to take off here at Launch Your Divine Business and I am so grateful for all the wonderful women I am blessed to be working with. </p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-346 alignright" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="RollerCoaster Ride" src="http://www.growyourdivinebusiness.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/ist1_6805825-girlie-rollercoaster-rider.jpg" alt="RollerCoaster Ride" width="110" height="84" />But, as many of you know, a growth spurt can leave you feeling a little dizzy and somewhat out of control.  Kinda like that feeling you get when you are speeding down the giant hill of your favorite roller coaster.  Things are going so fast and you are absolutely exhilerated, but if you keep riding without a break, you can and probably will get sick.</p>
<p><strong>This post is a gentle reminder to all of you small business owners and entrepreneurs to remember the importance of stillness and self care.</strong></p>
<p>As you are speeding through your days, it is important to remember to pause, jump off the rollercoaster and take some time to rebalance, time to center yourself, refocus and check in to be sure that the actions you are taking  are keeping you on track to where you want to be going.  It is easy to speed along and get pulled out of alignment with the core mission and principles of who you are and what your business is all about.</p>
<p>And, it is even easier to give more of yourself than is healthy for you or your business.  <strong>As a small business owner, you are your business</strong>.  In other words, without your passion, ingenuity and creativity, the business wouldn&#8217;t exist.  So when you forget to pause and take care of you, when you allow yourself to speed along without taking a break, you risk not only your own health, but the health of your business.</p>
<p><strong>If you are a woman who has trouble taking care of yourself, because you&#8217;ve been &#8220;trained&#8221; by your role models to be all things to all people and to always put yourself last.  Perhaps this message will hit home.</strong> </p>
<p>If you love what you do and you want your business to grow and thrive into a healthy, abundant business, then YOU absolutely need to be healthy and thriving yourself.  It is not selfish, it is not silly, it is absolutely necessary not only for your own health and prosperity, but the health and prosperity of your business.</p>
<p><strong>How will you care for yourself today?</strong> </p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
