Fall Greetings

WOW, October has flown by! I realized I never sent out my newsletter, so here I am doing a bit of work before heading out with "Yoda" and "Two Face" to go Trick-or-Treating. I can't wait to go, it's so fun to see all the kids in their costumes running from house to house on a sugar high! Speaking of fun, are you having enough? If not, it could be hampering your success. You can read more about that in this month's article. You'll find some of the details below with a link to read the rest on my new blog!

If you missed my October 30th fuel free teleseminar, it was an excellent call on 7 Steps to Achieving Any Goal in 12 Weeks with guest speaker, Tammy Cook. We've already had great feedback and praise for the information shared, particularly steps 2 and 5! You'll have to listen in to see what they were.

I'm excited to tell you that during the call, Tammy and I announced the launch of our BRAND NEW program, Stepping Stone Courses. We've created three 12-week courses for achieving significant change in some key areas. These are areas we've seen most of our clients struggle in too. Each course is expertly designed to be simple to follow yet extremely effective. Focusing on one specific area at a time allows you to make rapid progress and see immediate results in a concentrated timeframe.

It’s easy to see if Stepping Stone Courses will help you meet your goals. Simply take the complimentary assessment on the topic(s) of your choice — Mindset Mastery, Purpose & Direction, or Money Mindfulness — and follow the recommendation based on your score. As an ADDED BONUS, when you sign up to take any of our assessments, you'll also get access to the 45-minute audio recording from our call 7 Steps to Achieving Any Goal in 12 Weeks.

As a thank you for being a loyal e-zine subscriber, we're offering you a
28% savings on any of the Stepping Stone Courses! Never again will these 3 courses be offered at such a savings! This offer expires at midnight on Friday, November 7th.

Go to http://www.SteppingStoneCourses.com/launch and click on the red pencil to take your assessment and take advantage of this special offer!

Wishing you a Spooktacular weekend!

Are you having enough fun?

By Victoria Cook

Many of the client’s with whom I work are high achieving professional women; women who are internally driven and already successful in many areas of their life. Often these clients come to coaching looking to raise their game or accomplish an even bigger goal. They desire regular accountability to get done what they’ve committed to doing; a better sense of balance and life harmony; a neutral sounding board; someone with whom they can brainstorm; and a coach to help them align their actions with what’s most important to them.

We do all that AND I often surprise them with a lesser known key for success. How to make things more fun! Yep, FUN!

It is a little known fact that fun is one of the secrets to sustainable success! The ability to have fun in every situation enables you to be more successful and more relaxed whether it is at home or at work. Oh sure, I can hear what you’re thinking. It’s the same words that come out of the mouths of my clients. Things like, “I couldn’t have fun at work, it would be unprofessional”, or “If I’m having fun I’m not being the best _____ (fill in the blank: spouse / executive / business owner / mother) I should be and I feel guilty about that”, and my favorite “I’m so busy, I don’t have TIME for fun”.

Well, there are three reasons why I believe you must make time for fun and why it’s NOT a luxury item.
