When you’re an active investor, you’re proactively engaging
with actualizing new ideas, seeking opportunities, handling the
sticky situations (vs. avoiding them) and giving that ‘extra
effort’ in creating your intentional future.

When you’re a passive investor, you’ve put something in your
business at some point, which might look like a little upfront
money, a website or a product, or maybe hired someone to run
your business. The idea is that you’re not actively in it on a
regular basis.

Like anything in life, there are advantages and disadvantages
either way.

Active investors are generally dynamic people, experiencing the
highs and the lows of their business, and choosing on a daily basis
to ‘course correct’ where there might be some wobble in reaching
their goals. They also become a key component to success so if
they’re not there, things could slow down or even stop.

Passive investors, if they KNOW they are passive investors, leverage
their time and resources by having diverse projects and revenue
streams. They hire expertise and trust their choices. And they also
may be the last to know if there’s a problem.

Now here’s the rub… many people don’t know that they are
passive investors in their businesses.

They think that if they just go to another class or do what
other people are doing or focus on having passive revenues
as a business end goal that it’s enough.

And it’s not.

There is a naivete that is perpetuated by many of the well-known
entrepreneurs, marketers and business teachers out there. Their
material suggests that you can make a fortune just by buying their
system and doing what they tell you. For me, it’s another form of
the ‘cubicle’ that many entrepreneurs are trying to escape.

The question is: why try to fit into someone else’s plan when 
you can create your own? 

The answer is that many people think it’s easier. Just follow
the dots and you’ll make a lot of money.

Naturally, I am compelled to point out that it requires you to set
aside your natural talents and develop skills to adapt someone else’s
system.

It also requires that you want the type of success that they’ve
created – and you don’t know what that looks like from the inside
out. You know only what they’re showing you on the surface. And
they’re only telling you what is most attractive.

In the case of someone who understands that their business is
actually the fastest path to growing themselves and to expressing
their highest purpose as value to clients who pay them for it,
following a cookie-cutter system isn’t likely to work.
(Actually, I wish it were that easy…!)

The secret is that the most successful businesses are the ones that 
are congruent with the business owner. Their business growth
matched their personal growth. And usually they didn’t have a
playbook to follow in creating it.

I just had a conversation with someone who has spent five years
pursuing ‘the dream’ promoted by such marketers. He’s bought
programs and products, hired coaches, attended seminars,
spent years honing his skills and has created multiple different
products and websites.

At the end of it all, he was feeling discouraged and disheartened.
He realized that he bought into the smoke and mirrors illusion
just because it had really good marketing. And he was feeling
pretty flat about what to do next.

That’s when our conversation became the Catalyst for
considering something completely new. (Of course!) ;=)

When I work with my clients, my focus isn’t what they know…
it’s on who they are from their core essential self. Each person is
unique and has a reason for being that will otherwise not be
fulfilled in cosmic time and space.

That life purpose is your key to abundance… but not when
you focus on it with entitlement for it to produce money (which
is actually a lower vibration). AND when you give it a sacred
container from which it can grow in strength because power
cannot be actualized until it has been focused.

Anyway, by the time we completed our conversation, my client
now had a renewed sense of optimism, fresh perspective on
how to weave what really matters to him through his business
and was back in touch with his mojo.

Of course, everything he’s learned up until now will help him
in this next phase of business. But the key is that his business
is about HIM – not about someone else’s system.

Now he can be an active investor in the business of his life,
making a difference where it matters to him, using his innate
gifts and talents and desires to create value for which there
is no other option but for him to be paid through new clients.

Authentic value is always rewarded.

So, are you an active or a passive investor 
in your business? 

If you aren’t sure, or have confusion about what you’re
supposed to be doing, or feel like you’re off-track but don’t
know why, it’s time to get that sorted because your business
is suffering and, even more, you’re suffering.

Without clarity, it’s hard to take action that will produce
the outcomes you desire and intend.

I’m in the process of putting together a new program that will
focus on unlocking your soul’s karmic code in business.

This will be for a small group of committed people who desire to
transform their consciousness through business in a new way.
It will occur between November 14 and December 16, so it’s
coming up fast.

If you would like to be considered for this program to work with
me personally, please send me an email no later than this Friday, 
November 4, 2011 with the following information:

* Who you are in 100 words or less

* A brief description of your business

* What’s not working in your business

* What will happen if this doesn’t get resolved

* Why you’re invested in creating a powerful shift by working with me

When I receive your response, I’ll be in touch with you to clarify
additional information about you, answer your questions and
provide details about the program.

To Maximizing Your Investment ~

Lynn

P.S.: A related adage for success here – taking action is a big part
of creating new results. If you have any interest at all in working
with me in unlocking your karmic code in business, I need your
response by this Friday. I’m looking forward to hearing from
you… :+)

As a small business owner, you are your business. The
success of your business is directly tied to your energetic
state of being. This is a key facet of the power of feminine
energy as it relates to your business success.

In today’s business world, this subtle aspect is often
overlooked. The subtle, yet distinct, feminine energy within
your being is like a hidden treasure just waiting to be
discovered and harnessed for powerful new results in business.

Most business development programs focus on the obvious –
the outward, action-oriented, ‘doing’ part of business.

Masculine models of business are rationally based, easy to see
in the physical world and interwoven as core values of our
cultural programming to be ‘normal’ or ‘acceptable’ business.

And all of these things are important – no doubt about it. You
must have tools, take action and have follow-through systems
in the outer world to be successful.

In natural contrast, feminine energy is receptive, internal, not
easily visible and deals primarily with the subconscious aspects
of our inner way of being. It’s an unacknowledged aspect of
the dynamic energy cycle to being successful in life and business.

Learning to access feminine business energy principles is a
subtle process and quite different from what is taught and
perceived about ‘business’ as it has evolved up until now.

As a result, there are few teachers who recognize the inherent
power of the feminine aspect as a significant force in business,
where the ‘being’ state is acknowledged and cultivated as
the foundation for the ‘doing’ and ‘having’ as external results.

There are even fewer who know how to teach these principles
to others.

The Invitation…

My colleague, Morgan Taylor, and I are teaching visionary
entrepreneurs the eight pillars of feminine wisdom principles
as a direct path to realize business success as never before.

This training is called the Astarte Wisdom Series.

Astarte was a primary goddess who embodied feminine energy
and transcended several ancient cultures with different names in
each one. Regardless of the culture, the timeless wisdom remains
for us to access today. (And it’s not about gender…!!!)

The Astarte Wisdom Series provides you with a unique
opportunity in understanding each of the eight pillars of
feminine wisdom in order to incorporate them for what
could be dramatic business results.

www.AstarteBusinessArts.com

The Details…

This tele-series consists of three classes offered on three
consecutive Thursday evenings (U.S. time), beginning
next week on October 20th. And audios will be provided
to registered participants afterward.

Each teleclass is designed to delve more deeply into each
of the eight pillars that are at the heart of the Astarte
Wisdom teachings:

1. Mastering Wisdom

2. The Art of Allowing

3. Creating The Vessel

4. Embodying Power

5. Claiming The Treasure Within

6. Bridge-Weaving

7. Discerning Truth

8. Communicating The Space Between

Not only will you receive practical tools you can use right
away to grow your business with more clarity, there will
be time to answer your specific personal questions.

Insights are one thing, but knowing what to do with them in
your exact situation is the superfuel to new results.

Harness feminine business wisdom for maximized business
results by participating in the Astarte Wisdom TeleSeries.

To learn more and to register for $149, go here now:

Consider this your personal invitation to actively step
into a new paradigm in business.

We look forward to ‘seeing’ you there! :+)

those organic rhythm cycles, we are in alignment with universal tides.

It’s this harmony that allows us to manifest what we want more easily in life and business.

Because quantum energy is the foundation of this aligned harmony, the most direct way to create profound change in your life and business is by working with that quantum energy.

It’s what creates true transformation.

And now there is a way for you to harness that energy intentionally to work FOR you (and your business).

As the threads in the fabric of time and space, quantum energy has (obviously) been used for thousands of years to create results.

By understanding the energy and your relationship to it, you can create intentional results very quickly. And that’s what I’m teaching in my new program:

www.CreateYourQuantumLeap.com

Quantum leaping isn’t so much a mystery as a build-up of energy that you intentionally direct and then follow to where it takes you.

For a visual, think of wanting to get to the top of the really tall cliff from the beach – you could do the eight hour trek it would take to go around the backside of it, climb the face of it (which might take even longer) or you could intentionally call in a tsunami wave to pick you up and then place you on top of that cliff in minutes.

The choice is yours, when you know how to create a quantum leap.

DETAILS:

The Create Your Quantum Leap four-month program begins on January 10, 2011 for just 12 entrepreneurs who are ready to learn how to create dramatic new results in their lives and businesses.

Applications are being accepted now and are located on the website (please note that there are nine spots available as of today).

The program consists of weekly group teleclasses, buddy mentoring, a group mentoring session once a month and personal sessions with me.

This is an experiential journey in self-discovery, sensitivity cultivation and intentional manifestation.

To see a video and get more info, please go here:

www.CreateYourQuantumLeap.com

Truthfully, it’s life-changing. I’m looking forward to connecting with you about what Quantum Leaps are waiting for you. ;=)

Here’s to Creating Your Quantum Leap ~

Lynn

P.S.: One of the participants from the last program describes the experience:

“No matter where you are on your journey, Lynn Scheurell has the amazing capacity to meet you where you are and catapult you into hidden dimensions of awareness to build a strong foundation for initiating Quantum Leaps into new territory and essential life changes. With the support of her transformational well-spring of expertise and the wider view of group dynamics, this course has created surprisingly magical results – allowing me to step into the world with the magnetism of authenticity and greater ease. Thank you Lynn for being the creative catalyst extraordinaire!”

Ten Trends For Energy-Aware Business Growth

There’s a term that captures the essence of that leading-edge sight for new trends – it’s called ‘visioning’ or ‘futuring’.

As a business owner, you have to be aware of what’s on the leading edge so you can grow your business with, or even a little ahead of, the curve. 

During this f*r*e*e call on Friday, December 10, you will learn:

• The top ten trends for energy-aware business growth

• Why your product isn’t what you think it is

• The over-arching key that makes all these trends come together

And you’ll also get to connect with like-spirited entrepreneurs with 1:1 speed networking conversations… it’s so much fun! :+)

P.S. Remember to forward this note along to your best friend so s/he can get in on this fabulous Friday teleclass / speed networking event too! ;=)

We really feeeeeel it when someone doesn’t understand ‘get’ the value of what we’re offering (not to mention the exhausting challenge of the financial acrobatics when we’re not making money!).

And yet, rejection can hold valuable keys to helping us generate revenue. But how do you know what those keys are to use them?

That’s what I’ll be talking about this Wednesday evening (11/17) at 7 pm Central during the new From Rejection To Revenues teleclass.

www.LynnsClasses.com

The fear of rejection is, essentially, a limitation that will prevent you from doing anything that someone might judge, disapprove and/or reject you for… like:

Acting, thinking, believing and functioning to ‘belong’

–> Result: you lose your individual identity

Saying something that isn’t considered ‘acceptable’

–> Result: you don’t speak your truths

Looking for approval and validation from someone outside of you

–> Result: you surrender your dreams as a result of low self-confidence

The greatest tragedy of all is that you will not be able to help the people who are looking for you if you are worrying about disapproval, judgment or rejection.

During this call, you’ll discover:

* The behavior patterns of someone who operates from the fear of rejection in business (so you can avoid them!)

* The four gifts of rejection

* The big key to handling rejection successfully

* A sure-fire formula to help you create more revenues

* 16 powerful strategies to turn rejection into revenues

www.LynnsClasses.com

There will be time for your personal questions and the class will be recorded (and if you’re unable to attend the class live, email me your questions so I can address them on the recording). :+)

If you want to know how rejection, or the fear of it, has been holding you back in business AND how to harness that energy to actually make it work FOR you, this is the teleclass that you don’t want to miss!

To Your Success In Every Way ~

Lynn

P.S.: My friend and colleague, Michael Angier of www.SuccessNet.org, sent me a 2-minute video of actor Kevin Spacey talking about success. Actors know a lot about rejection (unfortunately); watch as Kevin shares his moving personal philosophy about success.

In short, your business is invisible.

You know this is happening if people nod and say ‘Sounds interesting…’ but don’t hire you, or they say ‘I’d like to work with you… someday’. Frustrating, isn’t it?

Well, there’s a solution for you. I call it ‘The Art Of Visibility’.

There is an art AND a science to making your business visible through both natural flow and easy-to-follow marketing formulas. Even more, there are people who are looking for what you offer RIGHT NOW – as you are seeking to be seen, they are seeking a solution to their issue.

The only thing in the way is your ability to translate your solution into something that they understand and can take action on… and that’s the one thing that makes me a little crazy, to be honest. (Maybe that’s ‘a little crazier’?) ;+)

You are so talented, so gifted and have so much to offer but people don’t know it. You’re struggling to stay in business, to make money, to figure it all out when it’s really simple… people are suffering because they haven’t found you yet, and you’re suffering because you aren’t helping them. It’s a cycle that I intend to break… it’s time for you to shine your light brighter.

So, Darcy, in a rare in-person Saturday event here in Austin two weeks from today, I am teaching the best proven marketing strategies that I’ve used to help more than 5,000 entrepreneurs since 1998. But not only that…

I will be PERSONALIZING them to YOUR business!

Seats are limited to just 20 people, so it’s an intimate, high-touch environment for what matters to you and your business specifically right now.

Through a special private arrangement, we’re privileged to be meeting in a magical cottage on the grounds of a vintage Austin school. As a result, this is a first-come, first-served deal.

www.TheArtOfVisibility.com

If you and I were to work together for a day, my fee would be more than $2,000. Because I am here to meet you where you are and I am a heart-centered, soul-driven entrepreneur myself, I am offering you this entire day – AND buying lunch! – for just $149 on Saturday, September 25.

In fact, I’ll go even further on this… if you want to come AND bring a friend or colleague, you can BOTH come for $149 if you register your seat by Wednesday, September 15. So reserve your seat and bring a friend… you’ll need to let me know the name of your friend in advance, but it’s really that simple.

There is a curriculum for the day but you should know that we will be adapting based on the needs of the people who attend. We’ll be covering:

* your ‘secret sauce’,
* a 6-step marketing message that clearly outlines the key benefits of what you do,
* reviewing your website (if you have one),
* how to write compelling copy,
* specific strategies and techniques and resources and much, much more…

It will be a fun-filled day of practical how-to’s, big-time clarity and powerful insights!

To register now, go to:

www.TheArtOfVisibility.com

I look forward to seeing you there! (It’s so nice to say that and know that it’s literally SEEING you there live and in person!!!) ;+)

1) Don’t know what you don’t know,
2) Are stuck in looping patterns,
3) Are trying to follow a cookie-cutter ‘box’ how-to program,
4) Can’t differentiate what you do from everybody else,
5) Freeze when thinking about selling your services or products to a potential client…

Then it’s time for you to learn The Art of Visibility!

I rarely do live events so this is a special day-long workshop where just 20 entrepreneurs, either established or in the making, will get their personal questions answered by working with me directly.

This event is targeted to people who are in transformational services, creative thought leadership, the healing arts and creative expression arts because you are unique in how you see and relate to the world.

Trying to learn business concepts from a traditional methodology is confusing and lackluster so that’s why we’re going to work together in a magical environment to help you discover exactly what you need to become more visible with your potential clients.

To Your Business Outside The Box – Delivered! ~~~

Lynn

P.S.: In the words of people who have experienced the program:

“Business Outside The Box – Delivered! is the most amazing program about entrepreneurial business building I’ve ever attended. Not only is this program filled with a lot of concrete business building material, Lynn delivers it in a way that makes it fun and easy to implement. Her intuitive, empathic skills enable her to go deep with each of her participants and help them get a clear picture of how their business dreams look like in a practical way. This is a turning point I’ve never reached in any of the many other business building programs I’ve attended over the years – and it’s all come together with the deeply tuned-in wisdom that Lynn possesses and brings to her clients in this program.”

~Gitte Hegelund, Denmark

************************************

“Business DELIVERED Outside the Box – you’ve got that right! Not only did I receive direction from an expert who truly understands what it means to seamlessly earn a living by promoting your gifts and offering true value creations, but Lynn guides you in creating communication that rocks with authenticity and marketing mojo without diluting the power of personal integrity or the core message.

The process helped me to uncover the hidden awareness of my enterprising spirit and generated greater clarity: locking in the real message of what sets me apart from the rest, all the while setting up the necessary ingredients for me to design what I call “heart-centered marketing” materials, so my audience can understand my message, and I can deliver my business in a step-by-step promotional plan to attract ideal clients and birth a leap in success. Oh – and I had fun too! This is Business Delivered Turbo-Drive… all the way to the bank!”
