What are your International business development ideas?

You may know individuals who have branched out their businesses from local to regional, national and international.  Maybe this was a conscious plan or maybe the clients shaped the evolution of the business. You may dream of developing or branching out a business too.  Everything begins and ends with your initiative, resourcefulness and ingenuity.

Coaching is one business that can draw clients from anywhere.  Technology enables one to provide global service.  Yet, this is not the only business that benefits from Skype, internet, phone and other technology.  Ponder the options.  What examples do you notice in the world around you? What stands out? How does this inspire you in your own developing business ideas and ventures?

I invite you to share your stories and dreams.  Who or what inspires you? What specific topics or hurdles have you experienced? What would you like to learn more about? What are your related fears? What hold you back?

Learn like an octopus

Increasing numbers of people complain they aren't reaching their dreams. Sometimes they say they don't know how. Sometimes they realize their strategies just aren't effective or quick enough. These types of people will blame society and education systems for their personal sense of failure. Have you ever felt you weren't given the training or other tools you need to reach your goals? Does this sound like anyone you know? Maybe this sounds too much like you?

Whatever you have learned before, it makes sense to look closer at possible reasons for not feeling like you move ahead now. What might you do to turn your current circumstances around? To learn like an octopus implies you may desire to learn to many things at once or procrastinate more than other people. Why not focus on learning to help you move forward? You can even teach and older octopus new tricks.

1) Ask yourself what "moving ahead" means to you.  Be as detailed as you can.

2) What do you need to learn to get yourself closer to this place or state of mind? 

3) Describe how you have "lived and learned."  How are you open to new learning?

Create your own road map

Whether or not we realize it, many people may influence our understanding of "success."  Consider how you view different areas of your life; personal, professional, spiritual, leisure, health and well-being, and others.  Each pursuit or project you undertake comes with conscious and unconscious hopes and dreams.  These goals and your view of a timeline, will assist you to create a sense of accomplishment.  People you meet and read about tend to shape your life. 

Whether or not you feel "successful" begins inside yourself, based on your own self-evaluation, judgement and level of self-acceptance.  To whom do you compare yourself to and why? People around you may ask you questions about what you do, how you live, why you feel as you do, and assess your success based on their knowledge and life experience.  Only you can determine what works for you.  Your view of success right now will differ from what it was and from what it will be.

Recognize somebody else's view of success will necessarily differ from your own because how you live your life is unique.  You may adopt similar end-goals to people you admire.  Yet, your milestones, your thought-process, your perception and attitude will always be your own.  Your choices will also be your own.  You create your own road map to success.  This will involve your desired 'pitstops' and learning curves.  All experience is worthwhile.  Many such memories are worth sharing.

Awaken your soul

Why is it that you may face a room full of boxes to sort though and find precisely what you're looking for inside the first or second box? Would you assume this was intuition, luck or, would you decide that you might have had some invisible help? Could this be the working of your guardian angel?  To dream of this kind of assistance coming to your aid at exactly the right time doesn't have to be 'out of this world.'  What would it take for you to believe everything happens for good reason?

To awaken your spirit  is to recognize that spirituality can take many forms and fulfill many different needs.  You can choose to explore your own spiritual life through meditation and solitude or by interacting with people  When was the last time you contemplated your values, reflected on why particular events unfold, or rekindled your own spirit? Its never too late to begin or to start anew.

Consider these questions to awaken your soul and conect with your guardian angel:

1) Identify your core values and when action proves you adhere or diverge.

2) Isolate experiences that make you feel more connected with things beyond you. 

3) Share your spiritual stories. 

White feathers

How often have you stumbled on a white feather in your path? What are your assumptions about its origins? Such feathers may represent many things including, the presence of angels, a heavenly dove, or even a process of your own return to consciousness. Consider how often you seem to stumble upon white feathers and the significance you create inside your own mind.  Where do you find them?

Shamanism is the most ancient approach to healing.  It draws from feathers and spirituality.  They empower us to get rid of problems and to reframe health, wealth and happiness. Feathers are one tool that influences our connection to inner energy. White feathers in particular enable ideas to appear in our minds as revelations.  What might a beings of light be drawing your attention to now?
