Greetings & Welcome!
 
Many of you have emailed asking how we fared with the tickets to the Neil Diamond concerts. As you may remember earlier this Spring, Michelle put out a request for "front row center" seats to see her longtime favorite performer in a few different cities. Well, we were reminded once again of the power of intention, being clear on what you want and asking for it, and then trusting the process. We ended up getting our front row center seats three shows in a row! We had a blast on our road trip, and Michelle even got a few smiles and waves from Neil. It was so much fun watching it all unfold, and we are tremendously grateful for the help we received in having those great tickets show up in our path. :)
 
Now on to business! If you've ever thought about pushing yourself to reach further in your life, check out the article below on Surrounding Yourself With the Best. As always, please send us your comments!

Surround Yourself With the Best
By Michelle Stimpson
 
Have you ever heard an "expert" tell you that in order to succeed, surround yourself with the best?  For example, if you want to make a lot of money, spend time among the circles of people who have an abundant cash flow. Or if you want to excel as an artist, get to know those with top-notch skills who have built a thriving career in the industry. And if you want to be a great cook, hang out with the best of the best and learn what they do. You get the idea.
 
Well, this philosophy finally clicked for me this summer, and now I really "get" and understand the importance of this. I started taking a cardio kickboxing class a couple months ago, and I really love it. This is huge for me because I have never really enjoyed physical activity. I've engaged in it because I should and it's good for me. But even then, I haven't exerted myself too much and never worked myself into a sweat. Basically, I always looked forward to when it's over! So as you can see, I've been a pretty mediocre participant.
 
Once a week in my kickboxing class, we pair up with a partner where one of us wears boxing gloves and one of us...

"Michelle is indeed a Time Management Queen!"
 
I grew up in Croatia feeling ugly, with a Body Dysmorphic Disorder and chronic fear of speaking "Angleesh" with native English speakers. As I addressed my underlying beliefs and treated them with the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), I grew rapidly.
 
From there, my own sense of style and personal charisma emerged, and I wanted to share it with the world and teach women how to feel their best, personally and professionally. I had a gazillion ideas that were overcrowding my head! I wanted to write a book, teach classes, keep my one-on-one EFT sessions with my clients, speak publicly, create products and passive income, move to a bigger city, continue my education. Wow, you name it! I wanted to do it all.
 
Due to all the ideas swimming around in my head, I felt burned out and restless and didn't know how to prioritize my time and what was important to me...
