Happy Sunday. So last week, I had the pleasure of hanging out with hundreds of “no excuses” kind of peeps at a wonderful event for female entrepreneurs led by Fabienne Fredrickson of www.clientattraction.com. POWERFUL content, energy and ideas. I even was 1 of 3 gals out of the 350 in attendance who scored a Live Business Makeover on stage. Whoa! More on that another time …

Fabienne shared with us an exercise that I’m going to share with you today. It’s all about something that way too many gals struggle with – MONEY.

Well, I’m going to share this exercise with you now.

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

50 Different Ways to Afford Something Right Now

Most people use the excuse, “I can’t afford that” for not doing something different and really beneficial in their business or their life.  But if you understand that when you ask for something, “it” is always given to you in the form of an opportunity (not a check in the mail, but an opportunity), you realize you can afford that thing.

So, “the way” for you to afford something is already in your life, something you haven’t “actioned” yet. So, instead of saying “I can’t afford that,” change your mindset to say, “How CAN I afford that?” and your mind will immediately shift to finding solutions that already exist.

Take out a notebook and write down 50 different ways (yes, 50, not just 16 or 46) you can make money right now in your business (an opportunity you haven’t said yes to yet) or in your personal life (house-sitting, cooking classes, etc.). Nothing is too crazy or far-fetched to write down.  This is a mind-stretching exercise to help you get more creative about finding solutions.

You’ll then take action on the best 6 or 9.  If you stop short of 50, keep going until you do. (Hint: the Universe will fill the rest in for you.)

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

I share this exercise with you because the “I can’t afford it” excuse for something you know will get you closer to living YOUR big dream out in the world is a trap. If you aren’t willing to invest in yourself, who will be? Seriously. Betting on yourself is the safest gamble you can make in life.

When I wanted to attend my first biz conference as an entrepreneur back in 2009, I sold my wedding dress to earn the cash to buy my $1500 ticket. My beautiful dress got a new life and my biz got catapulted in the right direction.

When I wanted to free up some cash around the holidays and clean out my closet, I sold a few Coach bags I had outgrown. Cha-ching = $500 in my pocket.

When I wanted to attend Fabienne’s workshop, I bought my $1300 ticket and then scored a few clients immediately to help fund the ticket.

It’s called being a rainmaker. You too can make rain.

Try it.

xoxo

P.S. Heads up that the early bird tickets for the Retreat for Goddesses are GONE as of TOMORROW – Monday, April 30 at midnight EST. I can say with certainty – this transformational weekend WILL sell out. Only 11 spots are left out of 30 … and we still have 3 months ’til our unforgettable weekend together. If you want to be there, I want you there. Save $300+ when you register by tomorrow.

P.S.S. Wondering if the Retreat for Goddesses will be valuable to you … if it will be worth your time, money, energy, effort?

Y-E-S. The Retreat for Goddesses is worth its weight in gold. No doubt. Hands down.

I recently hosted a few special guests on a webinar and they literally brought tears to my eyes when they shared stories of their personal transformations after they attended the 2011 Retreat for Goddesses.

Entrepreneurial maven Angelique Rewers talked about breaking out of her shell to become more open, as a result experiencing massive success on a personal and financial level. She’s gone from experiencing regular 5-figure months to experiencing regular 5-figure days (yup, you read that right). In her words: “My business is full. My heart is full.”

Career changer Anna Ring shared her story about the retreat giving her the courage to leave behind a job that didn’t fill her up anymore to embrace the next step on her career path. She started her new gig this month at an innovative start-up and is psyched.

Businesswoman turned stay-at-home mom Monica Teng revealed how coming to the Retreat for Goddesses allowed her to heal after the illness and passing of her father … AND realize that she and her hubby were ready to bring another child into their family. She’s expecting her second child this summer at 43 years old.

TRANSFORMATION HAPPENS AT RETREATS. And yes, you can afford transformation.

Springtime. A time for renewal, growth, expansion and change. Mother nature kicks into high gear producing green grass, fresh flowers, bright skies, warm sunshine on your skin.

Make room for a fresh start

A few years ago I started running to get back into shape. I was never an athlete. I hated running. But one day, I strapped on my sneakers, ran a few miles and never looked back. I recently signed up for a running class to learn proper running form, increase my speed and build endurance for long distance races.

While training in Central Park one day, our instructor took us to Strawberry Fields. The instructor pointed out the memorial created for John Lennon. The mosaic captures the title of his famous song Imagine.  The instructor pointed out the word and said to the group IMAGINE.

Imagine November (when the New York Marathon is held). Imagine what you will look like. Imagine what you will feel like. Imagine the physical condition you will be in. Imagine all the training you will have completed. Imagine the starting line. Imagine crossing the FINISH line.

She reminded us that although November is many months away, training to complete the race had to begin TODAY.

Get rid of the old to make room for the new

Springtime offers endless possibilities  – renewal, freedom, sunshine, long days, bright nights. Like Mother Nature, we too, must come out of hibernation to stop surviving and start THRIVING. Let go of the heavy things weighing you down. Shed the layers. RELEASE. Emerge from the darkness and step into the LIGHT.

It’s time to dust off the dreams we sketched out in January and time to make them happen.

Let nature be your muse. Walk barefoot in the grass. Smell the majestic flowers. Skip. Dance. Laugh. Do Cartwheels. Get quiet. Listen. Dream.

IMAGINE the possibilities of what will be…..

Me, Dana + James celebrating our cosmic connection in Miami

I’ve been in South Florida for the past few days for a combination of a family vacation (visiting my in-laws) and a little bit of biz. It’s been a great trip and we leave in just a few hours to head back up North. I hear it’s cold again … ugh. Oh well, I certainly got my fill of the warmth for a bit.

So, on Sunday I led a workshop at Ayama Yoga in Miami. It’s a studio owned by the boyfriend of my friend Dana, who I grew up with. Dana and I have led parallel lives in so many ways. We both were public relations majors at the University of Florida, both chose to start our careers at Porter Novelli – I worked in New York, she in Los Angeles. And we both eventually went out on our own to start our own businesses. Dana is a year younger than me and confessed that she had always been following in my footsteps. She’s a rockstar so just hearing that left me humbled and honored. Especially because I follow her, too.

Dana rents out office space to another dear friend James. James and I met in college, another fellow PR buddy, and I introduced the two of them years back when Dana visited me in NYC. James was a year older than me and a true mentor. He went to New York City between his junior and senior years for an internship at a major PR firm. He came back with stories galore and a big message for me: do it. I had never been to NYC, never dreamed about going there ’til my dear friend fills my head with stories and hopes and visions. So, I did what he suggested: I landed an internship the summer after my junior year at a global PR firm. That same firm hired me back after I graduated the following year and I spent the first 4 years of my career there. James was also my first roommate in NYC. Ya, I lived with him and another guy and whoa, was that a crazy fun experience. Think “Real World” NYC-style, albeit with roomies dating (me and the other guy, not James … that’s why we’re still friends!). Well, James was someone who I was following because I liked the dreams he was having … he taught me how to dream bigger. I’ll always be grateful for James for allowing me to follow in his footsteps. My life is better because of it.

James, Dana and I had dinner at a fab Thai restaurant a few nights ago after my “Goddesses, Guts + Glory: The Art of Knowing + Getting What You Want” workshop in Miami. We acknowledged what a cosmic connection we all have. We each have been following each other and our lives look pretty darn good as a result. We each are successful business owners. We march to the beat of our own drummers. We like nice things and can afford the luxuries of life. We are committed to our growth and aren’t afraid of change.

Cosmic buddies we are … following each other … living our own version of the dream.

I’m so excited to see where our lives will go next …

How about you? Are you living your dream? REALLY living your dream? Or are you playing small for fear of disappointment or the feeling that you don’t deserve to have what you want? I heard many of these types of stories during my workshop at Ayama Yoga in Miami. Women confessed that they didn’t know what they want … or weren’t sure how to get the confidence to follow a new path.

I’ve got news for you: ALL that you want is YOURS for the taking. But you must ACT to make it so. Nothing will come to you by doing nothing. You have to get out of your HEAD. You must DECIDE to live your dream and then take action steps EVERY DAY to make your dream real. You’ve got to be a hustler. And you have to follow some inspiring peeps who can pave the way for you.

Don’t go it alone. And don’t be afraid to dream really, freakin’ big.

*** If you’re ready to step up and LIVE YOUR DREAM, tomorrow – March 28 – is the LAST day you can apply for my Live Your Dream Private Coaching Program. Just think, by this Fall everything can change for the better for you. But only if you let it. It truly is up to Y-O-U. I’m ready to be your fearless leader. Leap!

Get all the details here. As soon as you download your application, I’ll reach out to schedule a call between us to ensure we’re an ideal match for this experience.

“Commitment leads to action. Action brings your dream closer.” – Marcia Wieder

A few short years ago, I was dazed and confused.

Although I had broken the magical 6-figure ceiling in my corporate job as a conference producer and was living it up in my kick-ass high-rise apartment overlooking the Hudson River in New York City with my husband, I was restless. Antsy. Unhappy. Stuck. Bored.

All the Coach bags in the world (I seriously had a fetish) and Happy Hours (I thought alcohol would make everything better) didn’t scratch the itch I felt for something MORE.

What that MORE was, I couldn’t quite put my finger on. So I kept doing what I had always done: worked harder and harder and harder until one day I felt like I couldn’t breathe anymore.

I was getting nowhere fast.

What did I do next? Decide to change it all by taking off on a month-long adventure through Asia with my hubby … and then train to become a yoga teacher … all while continuing to hold down my full-time job and try to figure out what my true calling was. Those experiences shook me to my core, changed me, spoke to me.

I couldn’t go back to “old Jenny.”

I knew there was more to life than the way I was living. I wanted more freedom, more flexibility, more fun, more fabulousness. I wanted more space. I wanted to spread my wings.

So one November day in 2007, I walked away from my old, comfortable, lucrative job … and set out on a path into the unknown.

It was one of the scariest days of my life.

I literally felt like I was weaning myself off of a drug. The drug of the conventional path, the drug of certainty, the drug of “this is how everyone else does it.”

It was this clear-cut DECISION that changed the course of my life forever. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I essentially gave myself permission to be ME and to share my message with the world in the most powerful, meaningful way possible.

In the time since my giant leap, my life has transformed in ways that sometimes even I can’t imagine.

• I’ve built a sustainable, thriving, virtual business with multiple streams of income serving and coaching amazing women from all over the world.
• I’ve mentored with top coaches who have earned millions of dollars in their freedom-based businesses and changed countless lives.
• I’ve birthed two beautiful baby boys.
• My family relocated from the bright lights of New York City to our dream community in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts.
• I’ve traveled the world.
• I’ve created a schedule that allows me the flexibility to do amazing work AND be there for my husband and kids so we can spend quality time together doing things we love.
• I live my yoga daily.

But, it didn’t look like this when I was getting started. It was dark, lonely, scary, confusing! My head would be spinning most days. I took a lot of wrong turns. I admit: I’d often quench my fears by reading job postings … thinking that maybe someone could just start telling me what to do again if I went back to working for someone else. But deep down, I knew that wasn’t my path …

And it’s likely not yours either if you have a message YOU want to share with the world. If you are a woman on a mission …

And if that’s you, I don’t want you to have to go through that MUCK I went through. It’s downright sucky and unnecessary. It’s a waste of your time.

So … I created something spectacular to help you BREAK FREE and LIVE YOUR DREAM. Jenny, you get one precious life. Why spin your wheels?

Announcing …

I’ll see ya on the flip side.

As a yoga junkie, you might think that I spend the bulk of my life in the yoga studio, doing “Downward Facing Dog” all day, om-ing and meditating ’til I find nirvana.

I actually wouldn’t mind that, however, I do have lots of responsibilities and other passions that require tending: mainly, my husband, kiddos, cats, house, and my biz.

And I’m not ashamed to admit – I like to work. I like to create. I like to connect. I like to make things happen. Yup, I really, really do.

Which brings me to my big announcement today …

The Most Most Important Work I Do

The most important work I ever do … in fact, the most mission-critical work anyone ever does is this: no-holds-barred D-R-E-A-M-I-N-G.

Yup, throughout my 34 years on this planet, my life has improved exponentially every time I’ve mustered up the guts and the courage to dream really freakin’ big and to work towards making that dream so. And I’ve seen this idea hold true when my clients do the same: to have the faith and excitement to walk through the fear and follow their spectacular dream … and by doing so, live the life they’ve fantastically imagined.

On the flip side, the lack of quality DREAMING I see many people falling prey to has led to the curse of the mediocre, unexamined life. It’s led to the never-ending feeling that real life is out there “somewhere, someday” but only if you could get past the guilt that inevitably sets in and makes you feel crappy for wanting something different, better and more in line with your own inner truth.

These blah feelings are a direct result of not giving yourself permission to dream.

Well, I have an answer for ya.

This week, I’m going to release a series of three videos where I lay out the lessons I’ve learned about living the dream, baby. You’ll get the inside scoop on the 3 things you’ll need in your magic toolkit to create anything you choose in this lifetime. AND on Wednesday, February 29 (Leap Day!), I’m going to host a webinar to share more wisdom and secrets to help you make 2012 your best one yet. And I’m making a major announcement.

AND (yes, there’s more!) … all this juicy good stuff is free, my gift to you.

Get out your calendar and set aside time, okay?

Know this: you have to change the way you think at a cellular level in order to seize the transformational opportunities that exist out there today. Daring to dream is absolutely essential, game-changing. In fact, it is the most important work you’ll do. And the majority of the world is going about it all wrong.

And that’s exactly what I’m going to lay out for you starting in a few days.

Keep your eyes open for more details from me. The adventure is beginning …

I explain it all on this video message. Check it out get excited. It’s all about to change for the better starting in a few days. You with me?

This afternoon I found out that a gal I went to high school with passed on, leaving behind a young son and many unfinished projects and dreams. I remember carpooling with this gal and taking gymnastics together when we were kids in Florida.

This morning I watched a video from Max Simon about his dad Dr. David Simon who passed on last week. Dr. Simon was the co-author of a book with Deepak Chopra that was truly enlightening during my first pregnancy – “Magical Beginnings, Enchanted Lives.”

Two new angels earned their wings.

Every time I hear of something sad like death, it always gives me pause. Even when I’m so ‘busy,” I know it’s important to take in this moment with all its rawness and realness.

So this afternoon after I saw this latest bit of news, I made the decision to stop my work and just enjoy the rest of the day with my kids.

Enjoyed folding the laundry, making dinner, taking a bath with my son, putting my baby to bed, followed by reading to my toddler and sitting with him while he fell asleep. Sat there, breathed deeply and felt grateful for the sheer act of inhaling and exhaling. Felt grateful to be alive.

Felt grateful for my dreams.

Felt grateful for all of the opportunities that come to me and that I create.

Felt grateful for my family, my friends, my clients, my partners, my community, my everything.

And then I came back to this idea: that life doesn’t always make sense.

Sure, sometimes it completely does and you know exactly what you’re doing and where you’re going. But … then, there are the days when it’s all a haze, a maze, a trip, a whhaaaat?? Ya, it’s part of the deal.

It won’t always make sense.

Believe anyway. Have faith anyway. Stay open anyway. Dream anyway.

“The shell must break before the bird can fly.” ~Alfred Tennyson

On a day when we honor Martin Luther King, Jr., a man who risked his own life to make his dream of equal rights for all a reality, I’ve chosen to read many of the words he spoke during his lifetime. What a visionary. One of my favorite places to read quotes and sayings is www.brainyquote.com. You can search by topic or person and you’ll find a wealth of cool data.

One of my favorite quotes of Dr. King’s is this:

“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase. “

Exactly one year ago, I had a dream … to FINALLY get clear about my path in life and business. To finally get clear about who I serve, the magic I offer, and the legacy I want to leave in the world.

You see, I had been in business for myself for 3 years at that point. Things were going well, but I have a confession to make: I felt a bit lost, a bit muddy, a bit scattered. Yup, me the woman and coach who may seem uber-confident and “put together” on the outside was swimming around in a sea of confusion. Ugh.

To help paint a picture, my business and personal life had transformed a lot during that time … I stepped away from freelance conference production work and leading in-person moms support groups and truly embraced my global coaching and information marketing business … I fine-tuned my niche a few times to best represent the types of women I wanted to serve … I had a child and was pregnant with baby #2 … I moved from the bright lights of New York City to the cultured country of the Berkshires … and I let go of some relationships that sucked me dry (that’s what energy vampires will do if you let them) to focus on spending time with people who fueled me and got me.

So in January of last year, I wanted to ensure that what I was creating in the world was still in line with the evolved vision I had for my life. I’d fallen in the trap of doing work in the past that robbed me of my top values of freedom, flexibility and family … and you’d better believe that I wasn’t going back there. It sucks.

Because I believe in getting HELP from experts, teachers and guides (the best investment you can make is on your own education and growth), I hired a top mentor to guide me on this quest: Fabienne Fredrickson of www.clientattraction.com.

Me + Fabienne after my "hot seat". What an experience!

It was faith over fear that allowed me to fork over $2,000 for the chance to spend the day with her and a handful of other heart-centered entrepreneurs for our coaching intensive meeting. Gulp.

Of course there was a massive snowstorm the day before our meeting, so much so that my mom (who flew up from Florida to watch my son) suggested that perhaps the meeting would be cancelled. But I wouldn’t be derailed. Your dreams have a way of pushing you like that once you’ve tapped into what those dreams are.

So off I went for my 3-hour drive to Stamford, Connecticut, 6 months pregnant and all. The roads were full of snow, but I enjoyed the ride, drove slow and steady, and stayed focused on my quest.

The day with Fabienne and the others was spectacular. It was there, while I was up in the “hot seat,” that I got clear about so many things:

• My message: “Find Your Path. Leave a Legacy. Enjoy the Ride.”
• My legacy: Empowering women (you!) to be gutsy leaders in sharing your gift with the world
• My next “big” move that will change everything: Writing my book
• Clarity around who I am: A lightworker
• How to share my big work with the world without losing my connection to my family or to myself
• How to think bigger and break through fear
• Why holding myself back hurts more than just me
• Why being coached by someone whose walked the road I want to walk shortens my learning curve and makes my life a ton easier and more fun

I immediately went home and started hosting this transformative days for my clients (how could I hold back something as transformative as what I had experienced?!), only I designed them as private VIP days for one client and myself … and they were spectacular. (You can read more about those days here).

Well, fast forward one year and here I am, about to host one of these days in New York City (my former home) for a handful of smart, savvy ladies who are ready to break free from a blah life, from a life that looks good on the outside, but is painfully not “you” anymore (or was it ever?) on the inside.

It’s the VIP Coaching Intensive, it’s happening in 11 days, and it’s freakin’ amazing. (And it’s priced very affordably at a lot less than $2,000!)

And if you’ve been considering it, but have been afraid to take the leap, well it’s time to learn from Dr. King and take that step even IF you can’t see the whole staircase. That’s exactly what one of the gals who has stepped up to join me has done.

Read her words …

“Dear Jenny,

I don’t have ANY money and I didn’t hesitate for one second. I will be living the next few months on CREDIT with an abundance mindset and after I pay my income taxes there will be money left over to pay off my accrued credit card debt! Can I put a price on my sanity or having a great 11 months? Nope and if I could I’m sure it would be a lot more than I paid! I remembered “JFDI” from the first phone call I listened to of yours. Plus, I missed the Retreat for Goddesses this past summer and planned on going this summer so to me it’s like getting NYC FREE and the 3-day Retreat at a great price!” – Julia Slike, Independent Senior Director of Thirty-One Gifts

You’ll notice Julia mentioned that she scored a complimentary registration to the Retreat for Goddesses. She’s a smart cookie! Well, in the spirit of wanting you to experience the transformation that awaits you at BOTH the VIP Coaching Intensive this month AND the Retreat for Goddesses this summer, I’ve decided to offer you this chance to score your complimentary registration to the retreat (your travel and lodging costs are additional) when you apply and are accepted into the VIP Coaching Intensive … but this offer DISAPPEARS midnight tomorrow, January 17.

You’re not going to want to miss either experience. I promise.

Get all the details here and put your faith in action.

I’ll sign off today with another fantastic quote by Dr. King. Let it sink in … there is so much truth in it, it brings me to tears …

“If a man hasn’t discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.”

Sending you love, faith and purpose in abundant measures.

xoxo

Jenny

P.S. If you’re wondering, “JFDI” means: “Just freakin’ do it.”

P.P.S. It’s okay if you share this with a friend. Sure, the offer I laid out above can be transferred, but only until TOMORROW at midnight Eastern.

Guest Post by Dawn Falcone

*This is the third guest post in our series by members of the Gutsy Goddess Society. Members were given the opportunity to share their holiday and New Year’s traditions and rituals with the Zen Jenny community. Enjoy!

My family has been eating lentil soup on New Year’s Day for as long as I can remember. I was told that I had to eat it to ensure prosperity in the upcoming year. For the longest time, I thought it was just some weird Italian superstition, but I found out that Brazilians & Spaniards also believe in it.

When I lived in Rhode Island, my entire family and I used to go to my Aunt Chickie’s house for her soup on New Year’s Day. For some reason, my family believed that her soup would guarantee even more wealth than my mother or grandmother’s version. Our family was so large that we came and ate in shifts. Everyone had to consume at least three spoonfuls of lentils. I think that’s some Catholic thing, representing the Holy Trinity.

Aunt Chickie’s real name was Frances. She was no taller than 4’5″ even in her gold high-heeled slippers. She had short, blonde, fuzzy hair and a cute little laugh, so maybe that’s how she got her nickname. She was feisty! She smoked, swore like a sailor and played a mean game of cards. I always associated Aunt Chickie with the summertime. We spent many a day in her backyard playing in her pool.

Chickie taught generations of kids to swim and dive. Her enthusiasm and encouraging words not only contagious but needed to conquer our swimming fears.

I continue the lentil soup tradition today in New York City in Aunt Chickie’s honor. On the first morning of 2012, I threw some lentils, diced carrots, celery, stock and lots of garlic into a crock-pot and waited for the wonderful aroma to overtake my home.

This year I decided that I want to spread the wealth, so I made an extra large batch of this family recipe and delivered it to some inspiring women in my life. It’s my small way of letting these friends and neighbors know that I cherish their gifts and look forward to watching 2012 unfold.
