Martha Beck Wants Me For A Shaman

I went to spend the day on Friday with wonderful Martha Beck.   For those of you who don't know her, she appears on Oprah as their life coach in residence and oddly was on Oprah on Friday when she was also live with me in St Ethelburga's Church in Bishopsgate.  Go figure.  Martha is awesome but I dont think even she has managed to be physically in two places at once yet!   The day was organised by the fabulous team at Alternatives and provided a lovely day out for a coach.

I was a little bit late by my own standards and my friend Jane had got me a seat in the front row.   Shock horror!   I am strictly a back row kind of a girl and began the day well outside my comfort zone.   The man in charge of the sound kept trying to take one seat out of the front row and I kept volunteering loudly for it to be me, but somehow that didnt happen.   Immediately, even before Martha arrived to stand all day on my toenails, I met two chums (in addition to Jane) and St Ethelburga's was wonderful.  A tiny church which was bombed by the IRA and has now been re-opened as a place of peace and reconciliation but with all the best bits of the church re-instated including a clock with a bell which clanged loudly on the hour, usually just when Martha had said something incredible, as if to add divine reinforcement from above.

The Elite Entrepreneurs Make Me Cry

During last week's Mastermind meeting of the Elite Entrepreneurs Club, I had to reach for the tissues not once, but twice!   One of my clients, with whom I have been working for a couple of years, came up with his best idea for his business yet.   An idea so stonking and so brave that I was in awe and the tears came quickly.   Another client managed to do the same thing to me, her achievements are awesome.   You both know who you are - thank you for making me cry, no really!

I wonder if anyone else other than a coach could know how precious it is to be present when your client emerges as an even better version of themselves?   More confident, more successful, more energised, more powerful.

One of the team even said to me "are we doing this next year?"   With results like that?   You betcha. I couldnt stop this work now if I wanted to.   Just to be present to the magnificence of my clients is a unique honour.   Not to mention the fun we had at the party the night before!

The Elite Entrepreneurs Club will indeed start again in September 2008 when we will re-convene a Wednesday Group and a Friday Group.   If you would like to talk to me now to make sure you get one of those precious seats in one of our EEC Mastermind Groups, then please don't delay, email me today.

Design Your Destiny with EFT

• Are you sick and tired of being pushed from pillar to post, ambushed by "shoulds" and "oughts"?
• Are you run ragged with the demands of your spouse, your family, your work or your business with very little "me-time" for thinking, planning, relaxing and just being?
• Do you seem to self sabotage the minute you get a whiff of success?
• Would you like to learn how to love and accept yourself exactly as you are and why that's the key to manifesting your heart's desire?
• Are you overdue for a spot of TLC?

Well, perhaps its time you took a weekend off to design your life and your destiny and to prioritise what you want for a change?   If every fibre of your being is crying out "oh, yes please!" then do allow Ann Ross, master practitioner of EFT, to show you how Emotional Freedom Technique can do just that for you, easily and effortlessly.

Time to Retreat and Think About... Work?

Steve Nobel is a very gifted coach and facilitator.   Many of you will know of his work at the very wonderful Alternatives in London.   Cor Blimey, I LOVE an evening at Alternatives and have lost count of the inspiring evenings I have sat in the pews soaking up the wisdom of the personal development giants.

Steve is no slouch himself when it comes to inspiring others.   He spoke to my Lonely Entrepreneurs group back towards the end of the last year, over-delivered and blew my socks off for starters.   I have enjoyed his Prosperity Circle and even a 1-2-1 session with him.   His colleagues David de Angelis and Damien Senn have teamed up with Steve and come up with the idea of a wonderul retreat in Spain in April.   Nice!

What's the retreat all about, then?   It's about finding work which inspires you. Would you like to discover work which brings you fully alive?   Who wouldn't?   And even those of us who think we have found it could sometimes do with being re-introduced to our passion for it.

Sharing the Dream with new Entrepreneur Lorraine

Today I enjoyed a very surreal day out.   I was invited to be the guest of Lorraine Armstrong, the new owner of Share the Dream as she went to present an award at The Wedding Awards 2008 as a proud sponsor.   Lorraine recently acquired this business from Money Gym client Debbie Bissett.   Debbie and her partner Claire are serial entrepreneurs who have decided just to focus on their own recruitment business and thus divested themselves of their online wedding dress exchange.

WOW!   What an eye opener.   The wedding industry is HUGE.   I sat next door to two sisters who won the best wedding venue for the second year running for their Leez Priory in Essex.   My table also included a shoes lady, a wedding planner and a dress designer, but none of them won sadly and I was feeling part of their teams by then!

The Wedding Awards 2008 was a very pink event - yay!   The champagne reception was OK, the lunch OK but the highlight of the day was the awards ceremony itself, and my favourite bit was when Lorraine was on stage!   Let me share the story of Lorraine, who I was thinking about as I drove to the gig this morning...

Do You Have Debts You Would Like to Reduce or Disappear?

Would you like to discover how to dissolve, disappear or dramatcially reduce your debts?

Are you just about managing to service your debts every month but exhausted by treading water and little or no cash left over for you?

Do you fear you will never be rid of your debt and that if interest rates keep on rising you may lose your home and be made bankrupt?

Are you ready to explore some creative debt-busting solutions?

What if you could find a way to manage your debts, reduce the monthly payments and be debt free within a relatively short period of time, all without damaging your credit rating?

Just give us one Saturday in November and we will show you how!   This Saturday 17th November 2008 The Money Gym is hosting a day all about DebtBusting and it only costs £97 to attend.

All details here.   I am co-hosting the event and hope to see you there.   We are all in this together and I think we can brainstorm some helpful suggestions depending on your circumstances and offer support for you to become debt-free sooner rather than later.

Talking Business - radio phone-in callers required this Sunday!

It's your fourth and final (for the moment) chance to hear me on the radio this coming Sunday morning at 10 a.m.   I know, clashes HORRIBLY with The Archers!   The only programme on the radio I listen to every week, and now I am on at the same time - doh.

I've been having a blast in Golders Green on Jcom radio over the last few Sunday mornings.   I was invited to co-host Talking Business with Mike Segall.   It has been an eventful couple of weeks.   The first week the entire building was evacuated at 10.15 in the middle of our show as it was discovered to be live - electrically live, the building that is, not the show which was always intended to be a live small business phone-in.

The second week I was a minor guest on the Mike Segall show and the third week I came storming back and with a vengeance, I am the woman who bought Santa Claus to Golders Green! Apparently those of the Jewish faith do not have/believe in Santa Claus - who knew?   How naive of me and ill researched, mea culpa.   Happily they smiled at me in a beautifully indulgent and gentlemanly way.   Bless them, the Jcom boys.

Talking Business on Sunday Mornings

Jewish Community Radio launches this week in Golders Green and guess who is going to be on it on Sunday morning!   Yes!   That's right, it's me... isn't that exciting?   Well, after all, Judith does mean Jewish Princess.

I am going to be part of the team presenting Talking Business at 10 a.m. for four consecutive Sunday mornings starting Sunday 28th October and you can listen live at www.jcomradio.net and if you live in North West London, Jcom will also be broadcasting on 101.4 FM.

Here's the pre-publicity from the radio station itself - and it's a phone-in so do ring in on 0208 905 5505 with all your questions about wealth creation for entrepreneurs, small business success and the joys of self-employed life.

And very good luck to JCom on their worthy mission:

Want A Millionaire Mindset?

Have you watched The Secret several times and felt inspired and excited but are still left wondering "how do I do that?"

Have you been trying to use the Law of Attraction principles and getting limited success - sometimes it appears to work and sometimes it doesn't?

Are you asking yourself over and over again why it seems to be working for other people and all those celebrities and personal development gurus but not for you and thinking there must be something wrong with YOU?

Are you worried that any negative thoughts whatsoever will be blocking the flow of wealth to you?

What is omitted from The Secret is a viable method for changing your vibrations and it is vital to know how to change your energetic frequency otherwise this can never work for you.

I know the missing link and I can't wait to show you what I know, so you can start to get this stuff working for you immediately.

Women Talk Money - The Money Gym

The Money Gym enjoyed a wonderful day out on 5th October at Shakespeare's The Globe Theatre in London.   They have a very inspirational and female friendly conference room called The Balcony Room which overlooks The Thames, St Pauls, The Millennium Bridge and more and this was the perfect setting for a Money Gym women only event - our first - called Women Talk Money.

We met some inspiring women who had been through the Money Gym and learned to create multi-million pound futures for themselves and their families and took time off to tell us their stories pour encourages les autres.

The Money Gym will definitely be running women only events again in 2008 and we learned from the day that we need to offer two different sorts of days, namely Look See events where people interested in joining our 1-2-1 coaching programme can come and meet us and find out all about us and that will be called Let's Talk Money.   The second idea to come out of the day will be a women's only group coaching programme with quarterly get-togethers called Women Talk Money.   More news follows as we unveil our new offerings.

Thanks to all the women who supported us on 5th October - we intend to bring you something to keep you learning and keep your supported on your wealth creation journey in early 2008 and beyond.

Does Your Procrastination Limit Your Financial Success?

Do you avoid or defer tasks to sometime never?

Procrastination is an avoidance behaviour which causes us to delay actions or tasks until later. It is a mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with starting or completing any task or decision. For you this may result in stress, guilt, loss of productivity, the creation of crisis. And worse, it may generate all sorts of knock-on results for others in your work and personal life when you do not fulfill your responsibilities or commitments.

While some degree of procrastination is normal, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning. Is your procrastination chronic?

Do you recognise yourself in this definition? Yes? Me too! We all do it.

But most importantly of all - is your procrastination limiting your financial success?

Self Publishing - Your Own Book as Your Business Card

My colleague AnnA Rushton will share her expertise on the pleasures, perils and pitfalls of self-publishing this week on Lonely Entrepreneur and if you are a member, this is a free resource.   I'm quite keen on self-publishing my own book as the ultimate business card, an idea given to me by Emily Gordon inspired by Bob Proctor's Life Success Publishing.   There's still time to join this call if this is a topic of interest to you and your business, but cutting along to Lonely Entrepreneur and joining up - membership is also currently free for the first 1,000 members.   An abundance of riches.   AnnA's Expert Call is at 8 p.m. on Wednesday 8th August 2007 and you can find the number to dial into the call at www.lonelyentrepreneur.com - Members Only.

AnnA has written and published several useful little books herself on health, creativity and personal potential and you can find them on her own website Catalyst Online.

Unleash Your Children's Potential

Inspired coaching colleague Alan Wilson runs a business and a website called Develop Your Child and a quick snoop round his website will reveal his passion and his mission to help parents and children.   Children don't come with a manual!   

If you would like to help children, teenagers and parents achieve a new kind of empowerment and achieve wonderful new relationships, then Alan's company has got some upcoming family coach training in September which you must get involved in.

Or you could simply hire one of his family coaches for your own family?   Read what Alan has to say...

Business Mentoring -v- Business Coaching

Increasingly I am beginning to re-position myself as a business mentor as opposed to a business coach. "What's the difference?" I'm asking myself and you might be interested in this too, and have valuable opinions to share.

As a coach in training we were taught the rather purist "elicit their greatness" stuff, of which I am a big fan when I coach.   I believe in my clients (often rather more so than they do in themselves) and their coach believes they already have all the answers inside and frequently they do, especially about "problems" such as lack of focus, how I procrastinate, why I don't practise extreme self-care, why it's different for me (yeah, right) and so on.

But this is all rather different when it comes to money and business. 

The Next Big Thing - Wealth Gurus

I feel a bit of a rant coming on.   There's guy called John Harrison of Streetwise Publications who has been sending me his rants for a while now, and I'm enjoying them.   His politics may not suit everyone but he and I are certainly of one mind when it comes to the postal workers on strike.   Try one of John's rants here (A Week is a Long Time in Rotherham); it should make my forthcoming one seem mild by comparison!

I got an email this morning from a colleague (and a top bird she is at that) reminding me, like the bloke who phoned from Ecademy yesterday, that Brad Sugars is on in Surrey tonight and Wembley tomorrow night.  Didn't this man Brad Sugars (whoever he may be) give us any notice?   As if I can clear my diary like that at 24-48 hours' notice!

Anyway, that's not the point of my rant, this is...

The Woo Woo Accountant - Making Your First Million

"What's all this I hear then, Judith?   What's all this about you, the pragmatic accountant, getting into all this fluffy EFT stuff? What's that all about, sitting in a conference venue all weekend, tapping on yerself?   Have you gone entirely Woo Woo?"   Good question!

I know, it seems odd at first glance, doesnt it, although as some of you will know I secretly love all that twig-waving, yogurt-weaving fluffy stuff. But how can I justify it to my business clients?   What evidence do I have to support that it actually does any good?   I am glad you have asked, because I have been collecting evidence since our first workshop.   And this is the tip of the iceberg of what I can share.

Coaching Days Out for Entrepreneurs

I'm a big fan of taking some time off from your own business and going away for a day or two to do some planning, brainstorming, masterminding.   And even though it was my intention when I set out in coaching to work remotely, virtually, over the internet and on the phone, so I could live the life of my dreams overseas in a sunshiny tax haven, it's not really working out like that quite yet.

And why is that, Judith?   Because I have discovered that one of the things my clients like best is a Get Together.   And for the moment, those Get Togethers must be in the UK.   Of course, it is my GRAND PLAN to invite you all to my sunshiny overseas oceanside tax haven once I am in residence!   But for now, these take place in Canary Wharf, in London's Docklands.   So, fancy a day off in Docklands in my riverside apartment getting your business sorted out, getting a loving kick up the proverbial?

Good!   Then read on, MacDuff, 'cos I have designed these with you in mind.

Are You Ready For Love? with Trisha Stone

I'm not personally (!) and Trisha knows that, but some of you may be, in which case you will want to know about this, from my client Trisha Stone:

Are You Ready for Love?    FREE Teleclass Monday 16th July 8 p.m.
You have probably already heard that I run FREE teleclasses and I notice that you haven't yet signed up for the next one. The class is a 'sneak preview' of what you need to do to Get Ready for Love.

I can hear some of you saying  "Why do I need to Get Ready? I'm single...how much more ready can I be for a relationship?" If you DON'T want to know what you can do to attract a perfect partner then please ignore this email...

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Money...

... but may have been afraid to ask?

I make no secret about the fact that even as an accountant, I hadn't done so well with my own personal finances until I found The Money Gym in 2002.   Now I am a partner in that business and Nicola has found something very innovative and exciting to do for two weeks during July.

You can attend a webinar every week night for two weeks starting Monday 16th July at 8 p.m. and in that fortnight, you can learn everything we know about money, everything the Money Gym has taught me.

EFT and how it can help you with more money and bigger profits

Bookings are coming along nicely for our EFT weekend workshop Success on Tap on 9/10th June, in fact I am thinking I need to stand by for a late change of venue due to overwhelming popular demand.  We can squeeze a few more in at our current venue, or a lot more if I move it, so watch this space if you are interested in joining us and thinking perhaps you will decide at the last moment.

Have you had a chance to listen to the very powerful teleclass we recorded last week?   If you tap along you will be able to discover the power of what Ann Ross call's "borrowing benefits" where you tap in a group on each other's issues and enjoy the benefits yourself.   You can listen again at your leisure and/or download it from our site.

You've gotta have a go!   Here's the response I got from one client having practised this for only one day...

Women's Creative Leadership Retreat

I am happy and excited to be working with PR Guru, Lynne Franks, at the moment.  She has invited me to help her re-invigorate her SEED network.   Earlier in the year, you may remember that I added attendance at one of her BLOOM Women's Creative Leadership Retreats at her beautiful home in Deia, Mallorca, to my vision board?  Well, this week Lynne kindly invited me to go to the June retreat, so I have manifested that already! 

Unfortunately, my other diary commitments will not allow me to take up her invitation in June, but I am holding out for another invitation later in the year.   I wonder if you are free to go, because I have negotiated with Lynne for a ten percent discount for my colleagues and clients for the June retreat. 

What will you learn?

Business and Financial Success on Tap

Have you watched The Secret DVD and know all about The Law of Attraction, have you read Ask and It is Given.   Are you playing The Prosperity Game and doing your Abundance Affirmations?

If you are doing all this and the wealth you want is not showing up in your life yet and business success still eludes you too, then I have JUST the answer for you.   Time to do something about it!

Lunch with My Accountant

Last Wednesday, I had lunch with my accountant.   Who is The Accountant's Accountant?   Who on earth would want that job?  Well, I had forgotten but he remembered that we met when I advertised for a partner in my accountancy business over 15 years ago, and although we didn't go into business together, we did go into business alongside one another and in fact, he credits me with encouraging him to jump ship from his job and start up on his own!   Thank Heavens for other people with good memories.

He has been suggesting we meet up for some time, but I didnt fancy it.   As I told him, it feels like being called to the Head's study, to account for oneself.   I can remember when my clients used to say "ooh, I'd rather go to the DENTIST, than come to the accountant".   I dont think they meant me (or him) per se, I just think dealing with our accounts can be quite painful for a lot of us, otherwise why would we put this off?

Three New Coaching Offerings

I have recently been fortunate enough to find a way to give up my day job.   Only ten years (!) after selling my accountancy business, I have finally found a way to disentangle myself from my last few, much beloved clients.

This has freed up both time and energy to put together some new and revised mentoring and coaching offerings.

What would suit you best?   Working one to one or in a group?   Over the phone, or face to face?   What will you choose to invest in yourself and your business at this time?

How Can I Find a Way To Do That?

Having met and worked with Lynne Franks on Sunday at one of her SEED Experience Days, I can't wait to find a way to join her at one of her Women's Creative Leadership Retreats at her home in Deia, Mallorca.

They are a week long, and start on 7th June, 27th September and 1st November.  Prices range from £1950 to £2250 depending on the accommodation you choose. 

How can I find a way to do that?

Michael Neill in the UK

I have had lots of wonderful coaching experiences with Michael Neill.   I have worked my way through his entire marketing donut, from the free sugar on the outside, all the way to the jam in the middle.   Free is his weekly MNCT newsletter, famed throughout the coaching world, dough was a year-long e-programme called Success Made Fun, and a coaching workshop he ran with Paul McKenna, then a coaching retreat in Mexico with Michele Lisenbury Christensen, and in the end I hired him as my coach.   Jam!

Michael is in the UK in April and has asked me to share his dates with you so that you may have the opportunity of working with him too.   Enjoy.

How Blogs and Podcasts can Boost your Business...

Being the savvy business person you are, you already know how important blogs and podcasts are to your marketing mix, right?

Many entrepreneurs are getting enormous search engine traffic while saving a small fortune on traditional marketing methods. These buzz marketing tools create a genuine buzz around your brand. But how can you make these strategies work for you?

Well, you can imagine how excited I was to hear that two of the speakers lined up for next year's European Corporate Podcasting Summit have joined forces to deliver a unique 2-day event at the prestigious Queens Club in London next March 2007. 

My friend, BusinessBlogAngel Claire Raikes and podcasting expert "Coach Leesa" Barnes have created The Buzz Marketing Workshop for coaches, consultants, trainers and other 'solopreneurs' who are eager to discover exactly how to use business blogs and podcasts to turbo charge profits.

Business Blog Marketing Booster Part 2 - Comments and Trackbacks

By Claire Raikes

So you've listened to the blog marketing experts and understand how blogging can grow your business. Now what? Well, besides creating a business blog and blogging at least twice a week, there are of number of other things you can be doing to further enhance your blogging for business activity.  This 'plain-English' article, one of a series of 5, shares powerful tools and techniques to really boost your business blogging strategy.  You can discover more blogging tips like these on the BusinessBlogAngel's Advanced Blogging Teleclass training series where consultant and coach Claire Raikes breaks down the theory and leads you 'step-by-step' through the practice too.

Part 2 - Comments and Trackbacks

At the end of most blog posts you will see a link saying 'Comments'. Click on it and you're taken to a list of comments and/or a comment form for you to leave your own.

When I first started blogging I was often moved to comment on other people's blogs but then suddenly overcome with shyness, feeling that my opinion was in some way 'not worthy'!  These days, I love browsing through my favourite blogs and discovering new ones and contributing by leaving helpful comments as I go. My challenge is creating the time to do so!

I have set myself the goal of commenting on at least one blog a day. Why? Because if done right, it's great for building traffic to your own blog and here's why:

Ready to up the ante?

The Mastermind Coaching Groups meet virtually to problem-solve, brainstorm, network, encourage and motivate each other and receive coaching. They are a powerful tool for your business success, accelerating your growth.  The basic philosophy is to achieve more in less time by people working together and we meet twice a month on the telephone for 3 months to share ideas, thoughts, information, feedback and resources, challenging you to 'up your business game' quite considerably.

By gaining perspective, knowledge, experience, coaching and resources from me and the others in the group you will move beyond your own limited view of the world, advancing your own goals and projects more quickly and helping others to do the same.

I will be hosting Cashflow Playdates at my home in Canary Wharf on the last Saturday afternoon of every month except August and December.
