How to Gain Surprising Insights to Increase Your Lifestyle, Income and Success – Instantly!

Have you heard the expression, “The outer world is a reflection of your inner world”? People usually say it just the opposite: make the change from the inside and you’ll see transformations in your outer world. And it is true! Yet, let us look at it from a different perspective. With the objective of gaining precious insights, rather than jumping into action.

Every one of our life situations is an indication of our inner state of BEing. One surprisingly easy way to gain insights, is to look at what is happening in our life, especially in our physical space. It gives us invaluable information on what is happening inside of us.

Let’s do a little exercise shall we? We’ll see what needs to be tweaked in our inner selves in order to achieve easier, faster results in our businesses and personal lives.

OK, look at your current environment, just as it is right now. Try to see your entire surroundings as a mirror image of your inner state of BEing. Witness the state of mind, the emotional conditions, and the physical stage that you are right in now. Examine closely your environment, first your home, then your office.

Some people use intuition cards, or read the tarot. You can do the same with your surroundings. For example, I look at the area around my printer, and I see a stack of printed paper on the side, that is waiting to be removed and recycled. It is stagnant energy. Nothing is moving there.

Another example is the small table in my office where I stacked books of inspiration for my new book around efficient spiritual tools to grow your business. They are organized in piles by subject, yet they collect dust and when I look at them sitting on the table those nasty little self-judgmental inner remarks come up around my project.

As you can see, I had a lot of fun doing this exercise, searching for snapshots of “my outer reality” like message cards revealing hidden secrets from my soul! The printer area seemed to be saying “Clear the immobility and follow through!” I realized that I had let things accumulate in piles, without acting on them when I needed to.

After a while, the accumulation created a deep sense of overwhelm. This stress could be avoided. I had gotten the message and to me it was the most invaluable insight; the exact thing I needed to know to unblock my situation and clear the sense of overwhelm.

The snapshot (or intuition card) of my second situation told me “Writing your book is stuck because you’re judging yourself. You’re looking to gather proof of your inability to write as well as your peers. How much dust do you need to accumulate, how much resentment do you need to feel before you love yourself and go back to writing again?”

Wow, where did that come from? Must be time to love myself more! These writers are great, and I AM as great as they are. I have a real message to bring out to the world, and I’m sure it will help a lot of people to find solutions and grow their income and business in alignment!

You don’t have to get a whole paragraph of insight. Sometimes a few words will come from looking at your surroundings:

  • Are things really clean and clear in your office space? This might mean that you are clear on what you want to achieve, and where you want your business to go.
  • Is your phone or internet connection having problems right now? This might mean you have to look at your communication in business; you may have to “tweak’ something there.
  • Are your closets or desk messy? I know my desk frequently is. (I say that I’m the messiest Virgo on Earth!) This could mean that while we’re clear on what we want, we’re still working on the process of things and how they could be integrated! It is often true for me. Is it for you?
  • Do you have a wobbly bookshelf, or a rickety table or desk? Look at the structure of your business and what needs to be done to reinforce it to a more sound and stable position.

Notice how you’re more confused when your surroundings are cluttered? If we have a tendency to scatter things on shelves and tables - all over our space - could it be that we ourselves are scattered? Do we need to ground ourselves more?

We can gain tremendous insight just from looking at our place. Yet in order to receive a clear message, we need to be in a neutral mindset and avoid judging ourselves. So, for the insight to come, you simply need to relax about the outcome. Just go with what comes to mind when you look at your surroundings. Don’t overanalyze the situation, keep it simple.

What is your home or office telling yourself about your business, your structure, your process, and your feelings? Can you get a message from your space, looking at it like in a mirror?

Enjoy this exercise and please share your comments and findings!

7 Savvy Public Speaking Survival Tips

I used to be terrified of public speaking - now it’s natural and fun.

Dry mouth, heart fluttering, sweaty palms, blank mind - yeah I’ve been there! It’s easy to be afraid of public speaking. But I was never content with simply overcoming the fear. I wanted to be a great public speaker. What I needed was a way to calm down and apply simple techniques and strategies to talk like a pro.

When I’d learned to relax (more on that later) I learned and applied the following four steps:

  1. Reassure your audience - they need to know you know your stuff and you are human!
  2. Hook them - be interesting and relevant. Tell them why what you are saying is relevant to them.
  3. Inspire them - give them information and ways of seeing that are new and applicable.
  4. Leave them on a high - tell them a story them encapsulates your central message.

How do you become confident enough to apply these four steps?

Here’s some practical advice. Some have to do with the way you think about your public presentations and others on how you can start to change the way you feel about them.

Tip One

Breathe your way to calm. When you breathe out you relax that’s why people sigh when they’re stressed.

Breathing in without breathing out causes hyperventilation and worsens anxiety. Just before your speech take five minutes and breathe in to the count of seven and out to the count of eleven (quick count-not seconds!). On the out breath, hold it a second before breathing in again. This will produce a quick and lasting calming effect. Remember extending the out breath calms you down.

Tip Two

Yes, you have a responsibility as the presenter but relax you don’t carry all the responsibility. Presenting is a team effort. Audiences are responsible for politeness, extending their attention, interacting with you and attempting to learn. It’s not all you - it’s a meeting of two halves. Never mind how they judge you. How do you judge them?

Tip Three

Speaking is really storytelling. Use metaphor and stories. We all experience life metaphorically. The most technical and logical person spends at least two hours a night dreaming! Talk details if necessary but present patterns with metaphors. People from four to 104 love stories. Use em!

Tip four

Captivate attention and engage your audience by using words that evoke all the senses. Describe how things look, sound, feel, smell and taste. Paint pictures and sensations in their minds with your words. Public speaking (like radio) is cinema of the mind.

Tip Five

Vary your voice tonality and speed of delivery. Keep them alert and engaged! Convey energy when need be and slow down when you need to ‘draw them in close.’ You are the conductor to their orchestra. And be sure to pepper your talk with humor. Your willingness to be funny shows personal confidence and confidence is contagious.

Tip Six

Tell them what you’re going to tell them (agenda). Then tell them (the body of your presentation). And then tell them what they got (conclusion/wrap it up). Don’t forget to sell your sizzle!

Tip Seven

Watch and learn from other great speakers until compelling, relaxed speaking is a part of you.

Rehearse positively. You need to rehearse how you’re going to feel as well as what you are going to present. Don’t think about your forthcoming presentation while feeling nervous, as this creates an instinctive association between fear and presenting. This natural negative self-hypnosis is very common with nervous speakers.

Hypnotically rehearse your speech while feeling relaxed. This produces the right ‘blueprint’ in your mind. In fact when you do this enough times it actually becomes hard to be nervous!

All great speakers know how to use great self-hypnotic rehearsal. Hypnosis changes attitudes and can bring emotion under control. I used hypnosis, to change my instincts around public speaking. Now I just can’t get nervous whether it’s 50 or 500 people. The world needs great communicators and is waiting to hear your words. Go for it!

Did You Know Your business Has a Soul? 3 Keys to Create more Success with Ease!

Quite often people are puzzled when I tell them that they could increase profits, make more money, and let go of struggle and hard work, if only they’d be open to clear their soul.

“Nathalie, what do you mean “clear my soul”? How do you do that?!”

I proceed to explain how we all have soul programs and subconscious programs that need to be removed and changed so that we can create more success with ease. The most open-minded clients  decide to take a leap of faith and work with me; once they experience the shift in energy they really see the potential of this clearing & coaching technique.

Now, when I also tell them that their business has “a soul”, then they really think I’m crazy! (And they just might be right!)

In truth your business doesn’t have a soul; it is not a living entity that makes decisions, gets married, has children, lives, loves and dies. Yet, it is a living entity that has an essence, a vibration, a personality or style, and a certain “feel” or energy.

1. Meet your business!

Discovering the essence and the personality of your business is the first key to creating more success. It will enhance your image, your branding, your efficiency

2. Meet the Soul of your business

I thought you just said my business doesn’t really have a soul?!”

Yes, I did. Yet the business owner, CEO or the board of Directors do! Knowing what these “souls” or people want, need and what their mission, values and vision of the company are will be key to success.

3. Clear Your Path™

Once the essence of the business is defined, and the mission, vision of the owners are precise, the business owners’ (CEOs, partners, etc.) souls need to be cleared to be open to more harmony, money, productivity, time, freedom, and whatever else is desired. This frees the way to realization!

So, who are the souls in your business? Have you ever had them cleared for more success with ease? I would love to hear your comments about that below!

The Key to REAL BUSINESS GROWTH – The LoA in ACTION

Do you know the powerful mantra used by many conscious or spiritual business owners and solo entrepreneurs that practice the universal principles such as the Law of Attraction to grow their business?

“What I seek is now seeking me. The Clients I seek are now seeking me; the Abundance I seek is now seeking me; The Contracts I seek are now seeking me. You get the idea!

In the “Money, Marketing and Mindset” arena, there is another super-boosted factor that will truly surpass all of your dreams and expectations. And as usual the answer is located INSIDE of you.

So, let’s look at what is this key factor to tremendous success. I call it “Passionata”. You can find it easily with this short MeditAction™:

Get relaxed and comfortable on your chair. Allow 10-15 minutes of uninterrupted meditation. Close you eyes, Take a few deep breaths. Turn your focus inward. Ask yourself gently:

*What am I really passionate about? I was born to solve a problem and help others with a precise solution. – What is it?

Get a sense or a feel for it. Ask to have clear pictures, ideas, feelings or words pop up in your head. Don’t try to control the images with your mind, relax, go with the flow of what you receive. Don’t judge anything, just get the information.

Money will literally hunt you down when you get PASSIONATE about your solution and CONVINCED that it is the best way to help people with this type of problem. So, find out what your ideal clients problems are and get specific about what your solution is.

  • Visualize the people you are meant to help. These people have a pain. Feel their despair and need for your product or service. Really SEE them. There are thousands, even millions of people waiting for YOU.
  • Imagine a cursor on a special machine, the “belief-ometer”, to rate how much you feel you have the solution for them, and how much enthusiasm you have about solving their problems.
  • Look at what the “belief-ometer” is showing you; it has a scale from 0 - 10. 0 shows no belief in your service/product, 10 shows your total excitement and full conviction that they NEED it. What is the number you read? If the number is not 10, can you push the cursor a little to make it go up a notch? More?

The more you BELIEVE in your solution (your product/service), the more you feel responsible to sell, share, and market your product or service with great enthusiasm and passion.

When your enthusiasm about your solution is average, or even worse, when you doubt in yourself and what you have to offer, then it reflects on your marketing efforts and your income. Your productivity as well as your revenues are low.

You have been given gifts and talents by God/Spirit/The Universe. Develop them. Believe in them and share them with the world on a bigger scale! Are you ready to make a difference in the world? You’ve already started! So why not play BIGGER? Find ways to be supported, encouraged, and guided by a coach or a mentor.

Tap into the power of your inner wisdom and re-discover this passion for your solution. Understand and feel the crucial need of your business for your potential clients. The world NEEDS you. Feel the desperation of people, their hopelessness and their readiness to change. Take your business and yourself seriously. You have a gem to give them. The more you see it, the greater your joy of service, fulfillment, and income!

Grow your conviction, your passion, and your obsession to help people, and do whatever it takes to reach people and share your solution!

You are the “key” to their problem. Find them, give them the key and reap the fruits of an abundance that you may not even have thought possible!

3 Little Marketing Mythies & The Big Good Wolf

Once upon a time, there were three little piggies disguised as marketing myths. They were not really pleasant, nor true (it was a fairy tale after all), and no one had any real sympathy for them, yet people around the world believed they were real and deserved respect.

Most people gave these piggies more importance than they should have, and that created confusion, scarcity, and anxiety in the minds of these impressed business owners.

1) “Marketing IS Serious”. He always showed the seriousness of his work, never able to gain a fresh perspective on things, or take time to laugh about himself. God knows that he could have had a big laugh as his tiny hay-house was a real joke for the Wolf!

The wolf of our story is not a “Big Bad” one; he actually resembles the info-marketers and the new generation of business coaches that we see flourishing. Always energetic, resourceful, and even playful, they belong to a new breed of entrepreneurs.

So, let’s call this wolf - the Big Good Wolf, as he helps people get a fresh new idea of what marketing truly is, by eating up these three little mythies!

The wolf approached the “Marketing IS Serious” myth, and he blew on him and laughed so hard that the tiny hay house as well as the pig-myth disappeared in the wind.

“Marketing is all about experimenting, testing, and finding what works best. It is fun and needs to be playful and not too serious in order to be most effective,” said the wolf. And on he went to chase the second myth.

2) “Aggressive and Ruthless.” He would pretend to be harsh and have no mercy, yet as soon as the Big Good Wolf came to blow his wooden house, he turned out to be the nicest piggy on Earth! This one was really a fake and a phony.

“Marketing doesn’t have to be aggressive or cutthroat. There is a different way to promote and market products and services!” said the wolf. “Sometimes it’s not even competitive! I connect with my target market or niche; I ask my customers, consumers, clients what they really want by different ways (surveys, conversations, 1-800 numbers, etc.), and I simply align my offers to their desires. It is a simple as that!”

3) “Very Complex and Elaborate”. He had used very elaborate blueprints. Everybody would show him respect because they would think that the project was more complicated, more sophisticated than it really was. This myth knew how to make people believe he was so important!

Yet, the wolf took him as easily out as he did with the other two myths.

“I use blueprints too, said the wolf. My marketing and social media plans are as simple as possible. I added nicely streamlined systems to organize follow through and manage everything smoothly. Marketing doesn’t need to be complex!”

With these reassuring words the third myth vanished into the air and everybody in the business kingdom finally came to the realization that marketing can be easy, playful, and aligned to our values and ethics!

I’ve been right where you are. I’ve experienced the worry about not having enough clients –and income- that you’re feeling now. I’ve spent (quite literally) hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars learning what it takes to market and grow a successful, thriving service business.

Sure, I’ve made plenty of mistakes along the way. (Do four previous business failures count as mistakes?) But I was determined not to go back to waitressing or non-profit (no pun intended) 9-to-5 work again.

You see, I didn’t give myself any choice but to do whatever it took to get a handle on marketing. And that’s why I’m sharing with you the fruits of my labor.

Trust that the success you’re striving for is closer than you think!

I would LOVE to support YOU in your SUCCESS!

Clear your self-sabotage patterns to increase your bottom line!

The other day I went to a networking event for entrepreneurs. This one was not organized by the Arizona Holistic chamber of Commerce, so it was for really ‘mainstream’ business owners. And as someone asked me this horrifying question “So, what do you do? I started explaining that I help women business owners getting to the next level with more ease, by tapping into their energy to define their next steps, and by clearing their path from obstacles, limiting beliefs and patterns.

The four women around me wanted more information, so I started to explain that we all have a “Soul record” that contains everything we’ve lived and has some discordant energies and programs attached to it. Have you ever been angry, frustrated, misunderstood? Did you ever feel doomed, used or abused? We all still carry some of pain, sadness, guilt, etc. that are related to events that we are sure to have forgotten, stuffed, buried or that we even think that years of therapy or self-development work must have resolved by now. Sometimes it is true, and most of the times I still find you’re holding on to a slight self-punishment energy or whatever other discordant feeling you had and you carry it with you in an invisible suitcase everywhere you go.

Negotiating a $10,000 or $100,000 contract right now? Attracting 10 more fabulous clients? Discussing a partnership or joint venture with someone you really wanted to attract in your Support Team? Good for you! Congratulations. Yes, you may want to let that suitcase melt and disappear forever! It will make your life and business simpler, more profitable and easier.

After explaining that I blend Intuition, guidance, Clearing energy and down-to-earth marketing, people look at me and tell me:

“You look ‘normal’. You don’t look woo-woo, crystal ball and magic tricks.”

Yes, I look like a ‘normal’ business woman. I got Masters degrees in International trade and business, come from the corporate world, and used almost exclusively my ‘left brain’ for the first thirty years of my life.”

People find this reassuring. I don’t come from a lineage of psychics, magicians, alchemists, or healers. My parents use my clearing services to feel better in their lives and it works without them understanding anything about it. But, who cares? It works!

I use my Intuition and clearing abilities as a doorway to understanding people, their brand, their blockages, their business model and how to create ‘aligned’ personal marketing strategies that get results, and people are amazed.

Then when I show them how knowing to tap into their Inner Wisdom to get answers can dramatically impact their bottom line, and when they experience those results for themselves, they are blown away.

But I want to let you in on a little secret. Because I am a Holistic Business Coach also clearing energy, some people think that when I cleared their sabotage patterns, self-punishment programs, limiting beliefs around money, etc. they don’t have to do squat! Well, that is not quite true!

It is true that miracles happen and I’ve seen it over and over with my clients. Some of them let go of crippling anger, or fear in a snap and they make huge leaps and bounds to their next level with such ease and grace that is forces admiration.

Most of the time, we still need to put marketing programs, launches and plans into place if we want to get the magnificent results you really deserve. I just allow your work to be way easier, faster, and with deeper success because I took your invisible suitcase that you didn’t even know you were carrying and suddenly you feel more Freedom, Peace of mind, more Passion for your business, and more Enthusiasm about life in general.

In other words, when the art and science of accessing your Inner Wisdom and clearing your soul patterns and beliefs is used in conjunction with proven marketing strategies and sound and sometimes very BOLD business decisions, it is a profound tool that can have a dramatic impact on your business, the people you attract, how you show up for your clients and your bottom line.

So, next time you see me in a meeting, a conference or a seminar (whether I’m a speaker or in the audience!), instead of asking me what is it I do, try to replace it by:

“Hey?! You look too down-to earth to be woo-woo, (and I won’t let my perceptions interfere anyway!), so here is what I’m up to these days/months in my business, how could you help me?” I will quickly get into guidance and tell you a few words that will surprise you because they are so true and you may even tell me “Yes, but I know that!”; then I will tell you how much THIS (that you already knew!) is so important and why you should act on it rapidly.

Some people have saved thousands of money, some others have made thousands of money, just on one of these tips. Yet the best way to see if I would be of value to you is to take my complimentary Strategy Session and have a serious (and pleasant!) talk about your business, your goals, and your issues. Contact me now. Just click on the $100 bill to send me an email and let’s get you rolling and attracting a constant flow of ideal clients to increase your bottom line!

“I want to create my own business/practice, but… I am so afraid!” (part 2)

90% of businesses fail in the first two years… and 99% of the time it is because of the lack of money. So fill your baskets with many beautiful eggs that you will be able to eat along the way before your own business generates its own (golden) eggs!! Don’t jump in foolishly. Prepare yourself before!
You know, when people hear my story about coming to the US from Paris, France with only two suitcases, they always ask me if it was difficult, because I make it sound easy by not giving too many details. OF COURSE, I prepared myself. It took me a full year of preparation, and three years of savings (because I had the idea a long time ago, I was saving for some “long term project”). I had to apply for a visa and create a BIG file. I sold almost all of my belongings (just kept paintings and sculptures). I visited Arizona a couple of times to make contacts and see locations, and to learn, learn, learn. I did prepare my big jump! Prepare yours!


Clear Money Worries
Save money! You should be able to live without expecting any income from your own company during the first year. I am not saying that it will happen, I am saying be prepared to have eggs that will help you pay all your current expenses for 12 months (or at least 6 months if you are more of a risk taker!). So, keep working full time for an employer for a little while, or work part time, and start your own business at the same time, whenever you can. This will keep the pressure off of your shoulders. You will stay relaxed and make good decisions not based on fear, but based on peace and Love.
I am constantly contacted by entrepreneurs, business owners, healers, artists, and writers that need my help, support and guidance (and certainly “clearing” and a clearer point of view too!) and think they cannot afford to invest even $400-500 on themselves. I understand their concern, but at the same time I think it is very sad not to be able to invest in yourself or in your business. If we want to grow, we need to change and invest in us. There is no other way!

We have to say “No” to scarcity and lack, “No” to feeling doomed. Where we put your attention will manifest. So, if instead of feeling good about money, you focus on the lack of money with thoughts like “I can’t afford it, I don’t have enough to invest in me” etc. you will get what you focus on… more lack. You are just planning your next 6-12 months of struggle and famine. Breathe and put your focus on something that feels good. Imagine clients waiting in line for your service(s). Imagine money flowing into your business account! Visualize your bank statement with a nice big number of $$$. Feel better – that is the key to creating more money. Since your business is your passion, do not tarnish it with your worries, fears and concerns. Revive the flame of your passion by feeling/seeing/sensing/imagining/knowing the clients are coming forth more and more right now. I can invest in myself and my business, because we deserve the best investment. We create tremendous value to our clients, and more and more people want to give us money.

Be done with Loneliness

We sometimes feel tremendously lonely when we start our own business - whether working from home, or having a studio, an office, or a clinic. If you don’t share your space with other entrepreneurs or like minded people, you will feel isolated. This does not feel good, right?! So, you need a strategy to avoid this and continue to feel good. Find people to cheer you up, to support you in your (new) adventure. Get a coach or a close friend that you can talk to ON A REGULAR BASIS while you grow your business. Find a mentor, someone that has followed a path that resembles yours. Maybe you can learn a few things that will help you avoid making mistakes and will save you some time and money.

Feel the Fear
Whenever you feel fear (should it be fear of failure or fear of success), always reconnect with the “why” you are on this fabulous adventure! Remember your goals, your dreams, what made you decide to take a leap of Faith and create your own business. Are you doing this to be your own boss and decide your schedule? Are you doing it to be able to work from home and spend a little more time with your children? Do you feel it is your mission, your passion, and you have to do it? Did you jump in to create a 6-figure income because you felt stuck as an employee? Whatever the reasons, you need to have them in mind. You could even create a small vision board with the representations of your dreams and goals and add smiling clients and money on it!! Also, add a date on the board - very often people forget to date their objectives and vision boards!

Design a Plan
Whether you are already in business and want to grow it to the next level, or you are just thinking about creating one, you need to have a plan. It doesn’t have to be a business plan with 50 pages - keep it simple! Write down where you want to go and what kind of steps you plan on taking to get there. You may also write down the resistance or obstacles that you have and add strategies to overcome them. (Watch for my next article on goal setting for your success)! Then feel the fear and… take action! It is the only way to do it. The fear may not disappear before you take any action, so don’t wait for that to happen. Thus, your fear will surely vanish when you start implementing what you wrote or said you would do. You will also gain more confidence and self-esteem because you DID what you said you would do! Preparation and action are a sure remedy for fear, and the rewards will be amazing.

“I want to create my own business/practice, but… I am so afraid!” (part1)

I did quit my job, -“I fired my boss” as I used to say- because I had a little voice inside telling me to do so. But, at the same time, I was so afraid. I could also hear another voice inside telling me all the horrible things that might happen. These two voices were creating an inner conflict that resembled a “pas-de-deux,” a well-orchestrated dance – very smooth, like a well-oiled machine. One voice would start, and the other one would reply, then it was the first ones turn… and I was in the middle of this conversation, completely frozen, non productive and confused.

But it doesn’t have to be this way! You see, I had never run a business before, so I was definitely out of my comfort zone, not knowing what to expect. I was worried I might not be able to do it and I could hear the opinion of people around me saying that they doubted it too!

How would I attract clients to my practice? Would I have enough of them to be able to thrive …or survive? Would I go broke and not be able to pay my bills? Would I make terrible mistakes in my business decisions? What did I need to know about taxes, employment, and all the legal stuff?
Then, I stopped my inner questioning for a minute (ah, the relief!!) and decided to take a deep breath and exhale all my fears and doubts. I actually had to take way more than a couple deep breaths due to the amount of pent up anxiety. I couldn’t even think straight anymore.

I asked myself: “what do I really want now in my life?” Do I want to continue on doing what I do? Working for this boss in this environment? With this amount of stress? With this schedule? With these co-workers? Or do I want to create a business where I can help people and be my own boss? And where I can choose my hours and also (at some point) choose my clients?

“Well, if you ask me, I want to be my own boss and help people. I feel completely drawn to create a business where I can be of service and make a difference in people’s lives”. The other voice had now calmed down totally. I couldn’t hear a word of doubt or fear in my head. I could sense a strange feeling of freedom and strength, certitude and peacefulness.

That is how I decided once and for all to fire my boss and become my own boss, working from home!
And I prepared to “step out alone in the big world.” I decided to quit, but stayed a few more months to build up my savings. I could invest in myself and in my own business. I didn’t do it without a plan. (I am a Virgo, so a few things have to be organized!) I didn’t want to run out of money before the turning point when the business would be established and generate income. I did not want to be forced to make the decision to go back to work in a JOB (Just Over Broke) because my business wouldn’t bring enough income in.

That is one thing I hear in my clients stories. They share with me that they had to go back to work for someone else because they did not create a safety net before leaving and they starved during the first six months (or sometimes a year) of being in business for themselves. I think that it is a wise decision to make if you cannot withstand the financial pressure and if you start making business decisions based on fear and lack of money. You do not see marketing and management the same way when you don’t generate enough revenue. You tend to forget the business’ best interest and do not invest in yourself as you should when you run out of money!

Is Coaching for YOU? –Nathalie’s 6 Requirements for your Success.

First let’s look at what coaching is and why it could help you.

Do you want to reduce and manage your stress, develop your own business or a special project faster, attract clients with more ease, enjoy more free time, charge what you are really worth, and/or improve your personal or business relationships?

Is there something you need to change about your life? Holistic coaching helps you to break negative belief patterns, set challenging aspirations and achieve your dreams.

People who hire coaches ultimately want MORE out of life.

Imagine having someone who is not only dedicated to fully listen to and understand you, but also skilled at ensuring you get the answers you need in order to move forward in success.

Ask yourself what you would expect to accomplish in coaching?!
If you answer YES to one or more of the following questions, coaching can work for you:

- Do you want/need to bring about major change(s) in your life with the support of someone who will hold your vision for you?
- Do you want to increase your confidence and boost your self-esteem?
- Is there something at stake (big challenge, exiting new opportunity) and you want to be sure you realize it?
- Is your work and/or life out of balance?
- Could you gain more clarity or would you like to make decisions more easily?
- Are you living a very stressful lifestyle?
- Do you have the desire to accelerate positive results in your life right now?
- Do want to know yourself better? Do you need help defining your core strengths, talents, values and life purpose?
