Hello Mavens! I really want to dive into Goals & Accountability for this week’s Maven Mini. I’ve spoken about this in the past, but it is worth repeating. I am a huge believer in the power of community and what it can offer you, especially in the area of accountability! BUT…Accountability is truly crap if […]

Diane Lanthier is definitely aligned with who she is and while she may not always know where she's going, she is open to receiving what the Universe will throw at her. Diane has been a Reiki Master for over a decade and has done quite a bit of self-work during that time. Diane says that once you're at peace with yourself, you're able to clearly choose a path that matches who you are more effectively and accept the gifts the Universe gives you. It's all about getting rid of those hang ups and letting the Universe do its magic.

 

Key Insights & Aha Moments:

*Don't forget to join the free Making The Maven Facebook community!

*Diane is a spiritual and energy coach.

*When did Diane know she was a little more intuitive than others?

*A lot of people don't follow their intuition and when something bad happens, they shut it off even further.

*Everybody has an intuition, but you have to work it out like a muscle.

*Diane learned Reiki when she was in her late 20s.

*Your traumatic memories are creating energy blockages in your body.

*Energy work is important for both your personal and professional life.

*You need to be happy and at peace with whatever you're doing.

*When you're at peace with yourself, you are able to choose a path that's right for you, not what's expected of you.

*Diane was self-employed, but at the end of 2015, she decided she was ready to go back to a full-time job.

*Diane still does her energy work in the evenings and on the weekends.

*Just because Diane does it part-time now, doesn't mean she doesn't take her work seriously.

*There's nothing wrong with working a full-time job AND having your own business!

*Remember, it's all about creating a business that meets your lifestyle.

*We give money too much power. We put too much energy into worry about money.

*If you have a hang up over receiving, then how are you going to receive good things?

*What has contributed to Diane's success?

*If you don't have what you think you want, it's because a part of you doesn't want it.

*If you allow the space for the universe to give you different solutions, you WILL get them.

*If you're being genuine, there will always be someone who will want to work with you.

*So many people undercharge because they feel like they shouldn't charge too much for healing work.

*Diane changed her pricing and package structure, because it just simply didn't feel right for her anymore.

 

Maven Moment:

Diane had a lot of wisdom to share on this interview, everything from starting a full-time job and taking her business part-time to being at peace with herself in order to receive the right solutions from the universe. But when Diane spoke about her struggles with packages and pricing, holy cow did she hit a spot for me! Packages can seriously be a love-hate relationship, which is why I encourage my listeners to stay till the end of the show to hear my advice/personal story on how I structured them in a way that didn't make me go crazy!

Hello Mavens! I really want to dive into accountability for this week's Maven Mini. I've spoken about this in the past, but it is worth repeating. I am a huge believer in the power of community and what it can offer you, especially in the area of accountability!

BUT...Accountability is truly crap if you don't know what you're working on, if you're not clear on what your big boulders are. What are you goals? You can't get accountable if you simply don't know what they are! If you're currently feeling overwhelmed, don't know how to tackle that list of items you gotta get done, and if you're generally running around like your head's been cut off, then ding ding! You need clear goals my friend!

When you have goals, you'll know exactly where to prioritize your time and on what specific tasks. You won't feel overwhelmed because everything is pretty much laid out for you, all you have to do is the work. Goals are the answer! When you have clear goals, then you will have a clear foundation on which you need to get accountable; and that's the perfect time to get into a mastermind group, free community, or grab your like-minded accountability partner to help you.

The first step for you and your business is to understand what you're working towards. The second step is to use accountability to help you get there.

Are you feeling overwhelmed as an entrepreneur? Well, the good news is it’s a common feeling among entrepreneurs and you’re not alone. Entrepreneurs have so many hats to wear, so many distractions and moving parts to their business that they need to be on top of. It can seriously feel like life is crumbling and […]

Summer Innanen worked in the corporate world for almost 10 years, but when she turned 30, things changed for her. Summer quickly realized she didn't want to do this anymore and had to make a change. However, the so-called healthy habits she had built for herself quickly came apart and Summer found herself struggling with her self-worth and body image. Fast forward to today, Summer is a body image coach, helping women overcome their personal 'diet demons' and she is the best selling author of Body Image Remix.

Maven Moment:

Let's talk about perfectionism. Summer really inspired me when she spoke about hiding strategies and her struggles with perfectionism. I know so many of you are trying so, so hard to show up in the world, and one of the things that's holding you back is this false sense of perfectionism.

If you're taking two weeks to write a blog post, that's an enormous amount of time wasted in the online world. You're setting yourself up for failure because there really is no such thing as perfect! I really want you to focus on ways to let go of your perfectionism. It's only setting you back! Go ahead and post that not-so-perfect webinar, course, blog, video, etc. Just keep trying and keep pushing forward!

Are you feeling overwhelmed as an entrepreneur? Well, the good news is it's a common feeling among entrepreneurs and you're not alone. Entrepreneurs have so many hats to wear, so many distractions and moving parts to their business that they need to be on top of. It can seriously feel like life is crumbling and you've barely got things together. I typically see three common things that get entrepreneurs a little flustered and feeling like they're losing control. Let's dive in.

 

1. You don't know who you're talking to. You're completely overwhelmed by putting yourself out there and by being visible because you don't know who to be visible to! The whole content creation process is confusing to you. My advice: Focus, focus, focus. You have to be very clear and narrow down who you want to speak directly to, that way you won't feel like you're just throwing dust in the wind.
2. You don't have clear goals. Again, it goes back to reason number one. If you're clear with who you want to speak to, then you have to be clear with how you want to show up for them. You need to be able to measure your success and set expectations for yourself. This is a foundational concept, yet it's missed 9 out of 10 times.
3. Time management!! So, you know who your target audience is, you know what milestones you need to hit, but all of a sudden, you don't have the time to set the right strategies in place! Ugh! This is why you need to schedule in time so you can be SURE it doesn't slip by you and you wake up months later realizing you haven't moved a single step towards your goal. Time management is huge in the entrepreneur world. Get your calendar and pencil in the time!
