Three Universal Laws to Live By.

Three Universal Laws to Live By. Guest Post from Coach Susan Carstens. In your quest to live spiritually, it helps to practice three universal laws: law of giving without expectation, law of abundance, and law of reciprocity. These laws are not easy to live by but do help to form the foundation for living with spirit. The Law of Giving Without Expectation: The fundamental of this law is that you must be willing to giving without the expectation of receiving anything in return. Do something for someone because you want to do it and because it is the right thing to do – giving unconditionally. The Law of Abundance: The fundamental of this law is that there is plenty for everyone. There are always more opportunities – the key to this law is that you must believe that there is abundance for all. The Law of Reciprocity: The fundamental of this law is that we reap what we sow. If you need or want help, then you must first help others. Basically, what you give out comes back to you tenfold. Thank you to Susan for agreeing to guest post for me today:).

Designing Your Free Offer Product

I am writing this today for all the  coaches, consultants,  and small biz owners. I am addressing a frequently asked question that I experience with people during a strategy session or a coaching session.  In today’s online world of business,  a great free offer is a big key to success. Long gone are the days where people could put up a newsletter opt in box and get subscribers. Now, you need a free downloadable product that people can gain access to immediately. The offer not only needs to be free, it needs to be great. Your free offer should delight and amaze. You should over deliver.

I know I feel frustrated when I get a free offer and it is a mediocre product. I am unlikely to stay subscribed or enroll in programs when the free offer is not impressive.

So, how can you put together a great free offer? Free offers vary. The offer might be an eBook, a tip sheet, an audio, an eCourse, a DVD/video, etc… Again, the free offer should be immediately downloadable.

Look around at what you have already done. Maybe you have an interview audio, maybe you have some blog entries that could be gathered together in eBook or eCourse form. If you are in business, you have information that already exists.  Be creative. See how you can repurpose and tweak what you have.  “How to”…is usually well received. Something that is quickly absorbed is also well-received (e.g. don’t give away your dissertation as your free offer).

I created my Top Life Coaching Tips eBook in one day. I read through a year’s worth of blogs and chose my top 25 tips. I edited them and formatted them. This coaching tips eBook is one of my most popular free products that I have ever created. It is now in its second edition. In fact, you can get it free here www.lifeisjoyful.org

Creating audio is simple, too. You can use a free conferencing service like www.freeconferencecalling.com  or you can use audioacrobat (this is what I use). I love audio acrobat because you can call in on the phone and record an audio that you can then turn into an mp3.  The sound quality is great. You can create a script or an outline to stay focused while you are recording. There are many other services that audio acrobat has as well.

Today, you can even create a nice looking video with your high quality cell phone. I actually recorded a commercial for my husband’s business with my Blackberry and then uploaded to YouTube. Many of the coaches I know also use the webcam built right into their PC’s. People resonate with homey, authentic, real world type of video- as long as your message is strong.

After you create your free offer, get opinions from people you trust. Ask questions about quality, content, ease of access, and finally, “Is the product in total alignment with your business and your truth of who you are as a person?”

Creating products can be a blast. This is one of my favorite pieces of my life coaching business. Have fun. What are you waiting for?…get out there and start creating.

Warmest,
Coach Sheri

3 Key Reasons to Use a Membership or Club for Life Coaching

If you have been looking around on the web for a life coach, you most certainly have seen various life coaching membership offers. You might wonder…What is a life coaching membership and Why would I want to join? Though coaches vary in their specific offerings, a membership typically offers a dedicated, password protected page or area filled with resources (audios, ebooks, exercises, coaching tips), and group coaching calls. There may be additional perks to being a member, as well. Here are three key reasons why a membership might be just the thing you need to help you achieve your goals.

It is self-paced. You choose the resources that interest you most from the member page and apply them in areas that are meaningful to you.

It is affordable. Typically, memberships are much less expensive than individual coaching. For instance, my Success Club is only $37 per month for a twelve month subscription (this price is effective for members who join on or before Aug 31. Sept 1, the price increases to $97 per month). Compare this price to my current individual monthly coaching packages which start at $297 per month and go up to $497. You can clearly see some cost savings here.

Plus, you get the support of content rich group calls to really lock in learning and create some accountability. You also may get some additional perks. For instance, my members end up with unlimited email access to me throughout the life of their membership. It’s hard to put a dollar value on unlimited email support. My members are able to ask questions and get answers on a wide variety of topics and issues.

When you are checking out life coaching membership sites or clubs, be sure you understand the commitment (time and money) and the components (what you actually get). If you are the type of person who enjoys being able to set your own pace, yet also, get some group support; you might find a great fit choosing a life coaching membership.

Warmest,

Coach Sheri

Help with Disaster Relief for Free

I just added Social Vibe to my blog. You can see the Direct Relief widget in the right side bar. What I love about this: When you click on the widget, you can complete activities (surveys, quizzes, etc) and the sponsoring organizations give micro donations to charitable organizations. I chose Direct Relief because the focus is on areas around the world in dire need of help (e.g.medical supplies). I love how social media has the opportunity to increase awareness and allow everyone to make a difference. You can make a difference today by just clicking on the widget and completing a few short activities. It feels soo000 good.

Warmest,

How do I get the things that I want in life?

Everyone wants to know- "How do I get the things that I want in life?" or "I have been using affirmations and working on my thoughts, but nothing seems to change?"

Becoming a powerful manifester is so exciting and a worthy pursuit. Everything we have been working on in bootcamp has been designed to help you shift your energy vibration, condition and exercise your thought power, and create inspired action steps for you which all help you manifest your desires.

If you want to manifest something today… create a vacuum in your life by cleaning up something, getting rid of something, or completing a task. This will be really effective if it has been sitting around as dead energy in your life or if it is something that feels like it has been hanging over your head or weighing down your shoulders. The freedom vibration is powerful. So set your manifestation intention, then engage in one of the three vacuum tasks, set your intention again, say affirmations around your intention, then let go and trust. Generously give something to a person or organization (even if it is just your time- or a kind thought). Cultivate feelings of deep appreciation in your life.

Prepare to be amazed. (excerpt from Day 20 Success Bootcamp 21 day eCourse)

Is fear holding you back?

Is fear holding you back? You may not realize that you have fear in your life. Some symptoms of fear include: procrastination, avoidance, compulsive behavior, etc. A bonus for replacing fear in your life is the reduction/elimination of some of the manifestations of fear that are occurring in your life. Are you seeking comfort in short lived quick fixes?

If you are experiencing some of these behaviors, you may have some fear in your life. You don’t have to spend the time figuring out why you have fear or what the fear is all about. Simply recognizing fear gives you powerful tools to use to turn it around.

Tools that you can use are powerful affirmations focusing on what you want to be feeling (hint: don’t use the word “ fear” in your affirmation). What are some words that are the opposite of fear? Courage, strength and faith are some words that I like and I have even created an affirmation below for you to use. You can also create a visualization centered around you being courageous and strong throughout your day. As you allow fear to fall away and embrace thoughts of strength, you will feel more centered and feel more joy.
Affirmation: “I am so happy and so thankful now that I have courage, faith, and strength in every situation that I face.”(excerpted from My Top Life Coaching eBook, get it here for free http://www.lifeisjoyful.org )

My Creative Process and My Love for My Work

I wanted to share my poem called Sensuous Creation with you. This poem describes my creative process and my love for my work. I would love to hear about your creative process.

Sensuous Creation by Sheri Kaye Hoff

Sharp, vivid sight

Crisp, clear sounds

Delicious scents swirling around me

Thoughts that snap together

Love and light flowing freely around me

Skin taught and shivering

with delight..

Complete awareness

Anticipation of a breakthrough

Passion dancing in my eyes

Vibrations humming through my body

Joy consuming my soul

Speed and stillness occurring simultaneously

Streaming thoughts

Gracefully flowing.

Tears of appreciation for

a new creation.

Love and soft laughter

at the sensuality.

Warmest,
Coach Sheri

Tap Your Joyful Inner Child Today

“Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play.”

Heraclitus, Greek philosopher, 535-475 BCE

 

When is the last time you jumped rope? Blew bubbles? Fingerpainted? Ran around outside in the rain? Decided you wanted to be an astronaut? Threw yourself down on the ground and looked up at the clouds? Child’s play. Remember those days?

When you watch a small child play, you witness delight, joy, openness, creativity. A child is not afraid to dream big dreams. A child trusts that he or she will be taken care of.

Tap your inner child today and do something that you used to do as a child. Notice how free and filled with joy you are.

Spend time with babies or small children. If yours are grown or you do not have children, volunteer at a nursery or babysit. If you have small children and are caught up in the laundry , chores, and business of life- take some time out to just be with your kiddos.

Get down on the floor and play.

Let the joy bubble over.

Notice that you are refreshed and energized (even if you feel a bit physically exhausted).

Warmest,
Coach Sheri
