Smiles of June 2012

• Embodying Jack Canfield's 64 Success Principles
• Ditch the "Ready, aim, fire" model and embrace the "Ready, fire, aim" model
• Maria and I wished for the Red Bag Sale ($100 for 25+ designer pieces) and it happened the very next day
• When I asked Jo over pie what was missing from my business plan, she answered "time"
• Found my kickass awesome life coach through the CTI coach match program
• Feeling like for the first time in my life, my parents are proud of me. Turns out, it's because for the first time in my life, I'm proud of myself...
• I love entertaining in my home (extra incentive to keep it clean and tidy)
• Instead of "Ok if I send you an invoice?" I used "I'm going to send you an invoice." Firm.
• Michelle helped me reframe a thought into: potential clients are waiting for me to come along and help them shine their website
• The best gift I can give a person is the gift of believing in them
• Brilliant advice: "Not all leads are created equal. Practice on the ones who don't turn out to capture the ones who do."
• Those who mock my coaching wall filled with 40+ post-it affirmations are those who come back later for coaching :P
• Looking back, I realize that I've earned over $128,000 in scholarships and awards! Thank you coach for reminding me to celebrate that achievement and not be embarrased about it.
• The #1 thing entrepreneurs should do: Shut up and listen!
• On the NSA chiro table, I experienced uncontrollable fits of the giggles for the first time
• I've been napping for the last 30 years of my life... until I started taking Univera Xtra (cell renewal supplement)
• When I'm true to my values, abundance greets me and the phone rings off the hook with requests for web redesigns!
• I love my neighborhood especially being 5min from the beach and ocean sunset
• Being told by clients that "I'm already thinking of people to refer to you for web redesigns!"
• Being told that my business is too young to start referral programs and watching my referral program thrive!
• Prospective clients thanking me for reaching out to them and sharing my web wisdom
• I redesigned my "free quote" form and instantly got an inquiry who turned into a client :)
• Chai with Catharine who has the greatest laugh on Earth
• Government owes ME HST/GST tax refund because so many of my clients are international
• Actively choosing to support but not physically be around those who suck the life/energy right out of me
• Lesson: in coaching and entrepreneurship, who you are matters as much as what you do
• By saying no to the good (a pseudo-committed kinda needy prospect), I can say yes to the great (an ultra-committed firecracker client who follows-up)

* If you wish to have your name removed, just say so. I take no offense :) This is a space to celebrate life and share/spread gratitude. xo

What makes YOU smile and grateful?
