Ruth Romero is a Professional Image Coach who guides her clients through a journey of self-discovery towards greater personal and professional success.

She joined me on the podcast this week to share some of the knowledge and wisdom she's accumulated on her own journey of 80+ years.

I recently met Ruth when I attended a Heartfulness Way group meditation.

Upon meeting her, I could tell that Ruth had a strong sense of self and an obvious attention to her own personal style.

Ruth's clients span generations, and are all positively influenced by her mantra to "LIVE BOLDLY!"

There's lots of goodness in this episode and as you'll soon realize, Ruth does much more than help her clients discover their personal style, she also helps them discover themselves.

You can learn more about Ruth and her work in the following ways.

A few quotes from Ruth, pulled from the interiew:

"I don't teach them or tell them what looks good. When a woman or a man stands in front of a mirror with something that makes them feel good…they learn."

"You have to get rid of the old to receive the new in every aspect of your living."

"[Style] is within you."

"I wear my clothes. My clothes don't wear me. That's a big difference. I have chosen them to enhance my body."

"Start off with a basic wardrobe…the best that you can afford."

"I always tell my prospects [and] my clients. Always dress for the job you want, not the one you have. When you know that you look good you're more confident about yourself and you'll be more confident about the company and the product you are representing."

"A personal style is a personal brand."

I made a mistake.

I know, hard to believe right? ;)

In episode 111, I forgot to include something so important to creating success that I actually went back and updated the show notes for that episode and then decided to dedicate this week's episode to what I forgot to bring up.

What did I forget?

Alignment.

So in this week's episode I'm going to make that right by sharing what I know about this all-to-important concept.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why alignment is a must before, during, and after we take action to create the results we want in business and in lifeInsights into the power of alignmentHow to improve your vibrational alignment with who you really are and tune up your emotions using the techniques presented in The Alchemy of DespairWhat the real purpose of the products and apparel that you'll fine in the Focus & Flow store is

(Please read this before reading the show notes or listening to this episode: Shortly after publishing this episode I realized I'd steered you wrong with this success formula. I forgot about the role alignment plays in getting what you want in life. So, I went back and adjusted the show notes to incorporate this vital aspect of success.)

Do you like success formulas?

I do, and in this episode I'm going to share one with you.

I'm also going to talk about each component of this formula and why I feel it's important.

This success formula is:

Focus + Courage + Effort + Time = The Results You Want

Please note that even thought I forgot to include it in this formula or mention it in this episode, alignment is the most important (and underlying aspect) of this formula.

Alignment is necessary before, during, and after putting the formula into practice.

In this episode, you'll discover:

A success formula you can use to help you get more of what you want in business and in lifeHow to apply this formula in your lifeWhy each component of the formula is important

Are you struggling to realize better results in your business or your life?

If so, you may be experiencing the perception predicament.

The perception predicament is the experience of waiting for your results to change before you perceive yourself differently.

I believe every problem in life is ultimately a perception problem.

Why?

Because perception is reality.

How we perceive ourselves, others, and the world at large informs what we think, say, and do, and ultimately the results we have.

Our perceptions are constantly being reflected back to us in the experiences we encounter.

To further illustrate the power of perception, think about this: The Universe is a closed system. Nothing is coming in or out. Creation is finished.

What this means for you and I is that everything we could ever imaging ourselves being, doing, or having in life is already here.

We simply need to perceive it as being here.

Perceiving it brings it to our conscious level of awareness so we can take inspired action from this mindset.

There's a lot to this perception predicament we find ourselves in.

Let's get into it!

In this episode, you'll discover:

What perception is and why it's so important to realizing success in your business and your lifeWhy changing your perception, specifically your self-perception changes everything elseThe importance of doing the inner work on a daily basisHow to change the way you perceive yourself

In closing, I hope you got something valuable out of this episode. I find the power of perception to be a major factor in realizing more success and satisfaction in every area of our lives.

My question to you, and something I ask myself whenever I'm feeling stuck is; "How do you need to perceive yourself to help you align with the experiences you want to have in your life?"
