I know you may not be expecting this type of topic coming from a Business and Marketing Coach like me. But have you noticed the shifts I've made? The leaps I've taken? And the levels in business and life that I've made?

I'm going to get a little deep here and vulnerable with you if that's ok? Because I think it's important for those of you who resonate with me and my story to know that you're not alone and you CAN want and HAVE more.

This is what makes me different from all the other Business and Marketing Coaches out there though I believe. I want to focus on making sure my clients are 100% HAPPY in both your personal AND business life (that most importantly includes your LOVE LIFE!).

The shifts I've made are all due to my ultimate goal (which was hidden inside me for years and that I recently tapped into) of being 100%, completely and utterly HAPPY!

Yes, it would be cool to have the million dollar revenues, the vacation house in Hawaii, a boat, etc., etc., etc. and that will most likely happen too but none of that would matter if I wasn't totally, 100% happy in my life; my personal life.

You see, I was in a marriage relatively unhappy for the last couple years (to a really nice guy I might add since he reads my stuff!) but we just grew apart. I expanded my vision and where I wanted to go (being the entrepreneur I was) and he wanted to stay where we were. That didn't work for me and I felt like I was settling. We tried everything to work it out but in the end it was better to go our separate ways.

Since then I've been on a quest for what my true purpose was, how to do things differently in my business so that I could fulfill that purpose (it's big!) but along the way I discovered that there was still something missing.

I had a very successful coaching and products business with clients all over the world making a very nice income (not as much as I wanted mind you); I had great friends, family, took vacations but it wasn't enough.

I had a great big hole in my heart...it wasn't that I was lonely but I was longing to be in a deep and loving relationship with someone who thought the world of me. I realized I was spending hours and hours a week trying to date online, meeting tons of men with red flag after red flag. I also realized that my business had started to stagnate because I wasn't spending the time I used to in it; I was so focused on finding my Mr. Right!

That's when I discovered (after a few months of coaching on it with my coach!) that
MY TRUE DEFINITION OF HAPPINESS WAS:

HAPPINESS = LOVE + MONEY

When this shift occurred in me, I immediately shifted my thinking about:
What I wanted in my Mr. Right (for me)
- Who I needed to BE in order to attract HIM
- What I would no longer settle for
- How he would view me

And I did everything in my power to express to the Universe what it was that I wanted over the next few weeks and what happened only 6 weeks after that was nothing short of a miracle; I met him. He had every quality on my list of 40+ things I wanted (I'm not kidding about the 40+ things), he totally dug me too in every way and we were inseparable!

Scott and I now live together in a home we bought only 45 days ago. We live with his two daughters and my dog Zeke and it's like a fairytale. Of course we get guilt trips when we go to church because we're 'living in sin' right now but .... not for long I'm sure. ;0)

Not only did my business skyrocket though with new clients when we started dating but my self confidence level elevated so high that now I rarely ever have those days when I doubt, worry or stress about 'what isn't'. I'm constantly happy and people comment on how it shows too.

So, ask yourself...are you 100% completely happy too in your life?

You don't have to be making millions (yet) to be totally happy but you do have to:
- believe in yourself fully; that you can have it all - the love and the money!
love yourself fully; not criticize your weight, looks, thinking or performance at work
- enjoy your time alone (if that truly makes YOU happy) or with a significant other (if you have one)
- be living your purpose and passions, not going through the motions doing something you hate or aren't too excited about
If you're not totally there yet, that's ok; the first step is awareness. For example you might be more aware now of issues that could be surfacing for you that you are tired and frustrated with settling for.

That's a great place to start. Or if you're further along than that and you're really on the edge now then it may be time to take action.
