The Heartbeat of Your Truth
When you still the mind,
you can finally hear the heartbeat of your truth.
This is not the truth
that gets lost in words - but the Truth that is known at your very core.
Words can be tricky.
They can sound like the
truth when you hear them and look like the truth when you read them...
but you won't really know for sure until you feel them.
If you want to truly
experience Truth, you must open your heart.
When we receive knowledge
through our mind, we may appreciate the concepts without knowing for
sure whether they are true or not. When we open our heart as well as our
mind, we sense the resonance of Truth behind the words. If it's not
there - if it feels flat - most likely it isn't your truth.
The Truth can be quite
useful, once we learn to recognize it. In fact, we can use it to guide
our path in life... and business.
What if you thought your
business was supposed to be centered around - let's say "marketing." But
deep down you had an inkling that something wasn't complete about that.
Oh, you learned your lessons well enough, and taught what you could but
- one day - you decided to delve deeper to become aware of the real
Truth of the matter.
And felt words flowing
through your pen as if from a deeper well or a wider Universe... or
another soul.
What if this act of
receiving and writing felt so complete and beautiful, it put a huge
question mark around all the other work you thought you were "supposed"
to be doing?
All of a sudden, you're
feeling more like a writer than a marketing coach. Fancy that... a
Gemini feeling like a writer!
So how is an
inspirational writer going to support herself while making a transition
to this new type of work from the old type of work?
For me, it's by bridging
the two.
I haven't lost my logical
abilities yet, or my knack for learning new information and translating
it into language that spiritual entrepreneurs are comfortable with.
So my transition has been
from "marketing coach" to "tutorial lady" with a dash of inspirational
writer moving up on the inside rail.
As the energies shift on
the planet, many of us are dealing with transitioning from "denser" work
to "lighter" work. But our livelihood still needs to be in the realm of
problem-solving and helping others with their own transitions - here
where the dollar is still the medium of exchange.
I might mention that my
own transition has taking the better part of a year. I'm pretty sure the
next shift in my work will be quicker than that, however, now that I've
done the hard work of knocking off some of my inner resistance to the
changes.
If you're sensing
something similar happening in your own life - and would like to speed
it along - please take a look at the 3-part teleseminar I'm
co-facilitating with Carna Zacharias-Miller: Soul Guidance for Your
Business.
I spent close to a year
doing "Yes, but..." and "what if?" And hanging back because of... what?
Some fear, some control issues, some resistance I was having trouble
getting past.
That's one of the reasons
I jumped at the chance to work with Carna Zacharias-Miller, who is an
incredibly talented and understanding EFT professional. She is a genius
at helping people release inner resistance, fears and perceived
limitations.
Our 3-part series of
teleclasses "Soul Guidance for Your Business" is subtitled "Clearing Out
Inner Resistance and Moving Into Your Power."
It was time for me to
take a step in a slightly different direction. If it's time for you,
too, please join us on Tuesday September 23 and 30 and October 7 at 8:00
PM Eastern time for three powerful, uplifting telephone classes that can
take your business to a whole new level.
You'll find more
information and the sign-up form here (on Carna's website):

Reach a Worldwide Audience
with Teleclasses
Join me - Barbara Casey - for a
FREE TELECLASS:
Teaching with Teleclasses
Wednesday, Sept 17
- 7:00 PM (EDT)
6:00 PM Central •
5:00 PM Mountain • 4:00 PM Pacific
Do you teach workshops and
classes in your local area?
If so, you might consider broadening
your audience to greater North America... or even the entire world -
with teleclasses.
Teleclasses are conducted via
telephone "bridges" with you and your students in a virtual "room"
together, able to communicate as easily as you can in person.
Generally, you can't see one another, but this makes listening and
learning even easier, with fewer distractions.
You can teach teleclasses from the
comfort of your home or office and your only expense is the long
distance call to the teleconference company's phone number.
You can audio record your classes,
too. Free!
It helps if you already have a
website or blog where people can register for your teleclasses.
You'll need a sign-up form (like the one
on this page) for free teleclasses
or an autoresponder with a sign-up capability. For paid teleclasses,
the process is a bit different. Join the call to get ideas you can
use!
In this free teleclass with
me,
Barbara Casey, you'll learn how to:
(1) Choose a teleclass style
that works best for your content.
(2) Set up a conference call
for teleclasses... and record your class.
(3) Turn one teleclass into (at
least) two additional products.
(4) Price your teleclasses...
and collect payment.
(5) Publicize your teleclasses.
(6) Encourage audience
participation.
(7) And lots more.
Hope you can join us!
Here's the link to
register for this free teleclass.

The IRS and Business
Use of Your Vehicle
In case you missed it...
Starting July 1, 2008, the
Standard Mileage Rate for business use of your vehicle increased from
50.5 cents per mile to 58.5 cents per mile - an increase of over 15
percent.
For business owners, it
means a bigger tax deduction when we use our vehicles to travel to
client appointments, business meetings, and the like.
You'll need to keep a log
of your travel, but that's a small price to pay for what you can
legitimately deduct as a business expense.
I got this tip from Ron
Mueller's newsletter (when I bought his e-book, I signed up for his
ezine at the same time). I highly recommend both, by the way.
Here's the link to

ezine.

Soul Guidance for Your Business
In "The Science
of Getting Rich" Wallace Wattles said, "No person can rise to his
greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has
plenty of money."
Does the
current state of the economy worry you?
If you have assets to "tide you
over" until the pendulum swings upward again, you probably aren't
too concerned.
But if you
don't have a cash nest egg to fall back on - or stocks you can sell
in a
pinch - how will you manage to hold things together financially...
and emotionally... over the coming months and (possibly) years?
Will your
financial condition enable you to confidently walk the path of
greater
potential that you know - deep down - is where your business wants
to go?
...Or will
you hesitate?
Wallace
Wattles also said, "No matter what your profession, if you can give
increase of life to others and make them sensible of this gift, they
will be attracted to you, and you will get rich."
Maybe your
finances are doing just fine, but you're giving yourself other
reasons for not stepping onto that path of higher potential for
yourself - and your business. Are you, perhaps, wondering if you "have it in you" to give this increase in life to others?
-> "If only I knew
more, I'd be living my potential sooner."
-> "If
only I saw the way clearly, I'd be more comfortable climbing
higher."
-> "I'm
not ready! I need to study more."
-> "I
hate all this new technology! I don't how how it works."
->
"I get
nervous putting myself out there."
If the
"shoe fits" know that you are not alone.
Those of us
in spiritual, inspirational and healing work have all had to grapple
with issues like these as we walk the path leading to the truth of
who we really are.
And we have
all faced mental monsters, emotional eruptions and spiritual
setbacks as we tackled this most fundamental question:
"I know
there’s more I’m supposed to be doing... but how do I get from here
to there?"
(1) If
you're an entrepreneur already, you made a choice to start your
own business. And you may have already had a successful one...
at least until the economy started getting weird.
(2)
If
you're looking for help to move your business forward, please
read on...
(3)
If you
haven't started your own business yet and are holding back
because of the economy - or any other reason - please read on...
The
political and economic climate we are now experiencing is really
just the external expression of a whole lot of inner turmoil in the
minds and hearts of regular people. You, me, our families, neighbors
and communities.
And if
we're not careful - if we "buy into" this turmoil story whirling
around us - we can get pulled into the downward vortex.
But that
doesn't need to happen.
You can
stay out of this whirlpool of negativity and fear - and above the
mindset of "crisis" economy.
How?
->By stepping
onto your personal road to truth.
->By
acknowledging the Divine Power that lives within you.
->By
releasing any resistance you may have to claiming that Power for
yourself.
->By
trusting that you already "know enough" to get started on a higher
potential for yourself and your business.
->By
creating a fail-safe, sure-footed plan for finding your home
business "power place."
->By
stepping into the limelight and letting people "become sensible to
your gifts" with a solid marketing plan.
->And
by knowing that the entire Universe is backing you up.
