Transformational Book series – Our Picks | The Power of Now

by My Blooming Biz | Apr 15, 2018 | Empowerment Tools, Transformational Books, Women Empowerment

In January we kicked off a new MBB series to highlight transformational books for women called, Transformational Book Series – Our Picks. This month we’re excited to continue the series by sharing with you our next transformational book in the series – The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.

We are all about women empowerment here at My Blooming Biz, and we know that however equipped we are to help you empower yourself, there are tons of other resources available out there than can aid in your self empowerment. And what better place to look, than books. As our CEO and Empowerment Coach often say, “Books are collective reservoirs of minds; they will edify you, enlighten you, inspire you, energize you, or just plain amuse you…but you have to seek them out, open, and read them.” These books in our transformational series have the potential to change your life!

Eckhart Tolle, in his book The Power of Now, explores how we create our own suffering by not living in the now and resisting the present moment. This powerful book delves deep into how our thoughts often control us and block us from experiencing life. Our ability to wake up to the present is vital for our well being. For some people, this awakening to the NOW can take place suddenly, but most people have to train their minds over time to learn how to live in the present moment.

Tolle begins by introducing readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy – the mind, and awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain essentially showing them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. Along the way, he shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being – “the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.”

Some of you who read this book will never be the same again, as it has the potential to shatter your reality and show you a world that is fresh, vivid, and alive. Things you’ve seen hundreds of time, may take on new meaning. Others may never make it through the first few pages. It may not be their time. As one of our client Marlyne wrote in a letter to us:

This book has changed my life. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to get in touch with his or her inner self and live a more peaceful life. Every time I read this book, and I have read it several times, I learn something else about myself. You can recommend this book to others, but they have to be ready for it. My sister tried to introduce me to Eckhart Tolle last year, but I wasn’t ready for him so I didn’t bother to purchase his books. I have learned that when it’s time for something to change in your life, you will know it. Later when I read about his book “The Power of Now” in your newsletter, I knew I was ready! I LOVE this book! I have practiced meditation for many years, meditating twice a day. Now I can meditate anytime and that’s a wonderful feeling knowing that I don’t have to wait for a specific time to be at peace. I walk through the park now and I actually hear the birds or the other sounds around me. That’s a WOW for me! I accept others more and am aware of when I am judging them or other things around me. More and more I am in control of my thinking and that’s powerful. All of this came about as a result of reading this book. Buy this book and you will understand what I am saying; that is, if you are ready for change in your life. Powerful book!

To give yourself the best chance at absorbing the wisdom in this potentially life-changing book, be prepared to handle a good dose of new age words, such as Being. It can be difficult to write about spiritual subjects and still please all readers with the choice of vocabulary so if you’re not into new-agey sounding stuff, ask your inner critic to step aside temporarily so that you can receive Tolle’s message: It’s only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the NOW, is there Enlightenment.

So in a nutshell what Tolle is saying is, accept your life situation as it is. Change what you can and accept what you can’t or aren’t willing to change at the moment. Focus on what you are experiencing at this very moment (your surroundings, your body, your existence). Don’t judge, just be aware. Be aware of your mind and when it drifts to the past or the future, and take it back to the present. Let go of the past, because holding onto it cannot change it. Focus instead on what you are doing and can do right now. Try not to dwell on the future and worry about endless future scenarios that haven’t happened and can’t be predicted. The past doesn’t exist anymore, the future doesn’t exist – the only thing that exists is NOW. So be in the now!

At My Blooming Biz, we are about helping women live happier, healthier, more productive lives, and in order to help women be better we provide tools and direction to added resources that are available to help them live to their highest degree. Why? Because when women are empowered the world becomes a better place. Learn how to live in the present moment instead of allowing your thoughts to wander to the past or the future, and you will immediately understand that living in the NOW is one of the most powerful methods for transforming your reality and improving your life.

Empower yourself! Get this book The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment, read it, and implement its strategies into your life.

Transformational Book Series – Our Picks | Abundance Now

by My Blooming Biz | Apr 13, 2018 | Empowerment Tools, Financial Empowerment, Transformational Books, Wholistic Empowerment, Women Empowerment

We have chosen and added this book to our transformational picks because it has helped us and our clients in our quest for abundance, and we want you to know that abundance is available to you as well – if only you acknowledge that it is, and take the necessary action steps to pull in YOUR abundance. There is enough for YOU too! Change your mindset, change your life!

Lisa Nichols have had her share of turmoil and financial lack. But being a caring, devoted, conscious mom – like many of us are, she decided that what she was experiencing was not going to be passed on to her son. She was going to be a positive, prosperous role model and leave a legacy for her posterity. In addition, she was determined that she deserved more, and resolved that in order to access abundance NOW she must break out of the defeatist mindset, negative behavior, and bad habits that were holding her back from success and change her life’s direction.

Lisa Nichols vision for this book is that all of us who partake will create a life that is rich in every way possible, focusing on the four E’s – Enrichment, Enchantment, Engagement, and Endowment which Lisa terms “the framework upon which a fulfilled existence is built”. We couldn’t agree more!

Lisa Nichols Framework on Which a Fulfilled Existence is Built

1. Enrichment – Techniques for developing your SELF – including the personal skill-set you need to create the compelling life experiences you want.

2. Enchantment – Step by step guidelines to improve, attract, and empower “rocket-boosting” RELATIONSHIPS that grow you, empower you, and nurture you.

3. Engagement – Ways to make your WORK, career, or business a powerful investor in your breathtaking life – from providing the money you need to becoming the platform for your vision.

4. Endowment – Strategies for creating a life of MONEY and other privileged circumstances that allow you to pursue your work, family activities, lifestyle, social change – anything you want to do.

In this book you will find provocative lessons, actionable plans, and real-life case studies that make clear what we must do everyday to attract abundance. It is filled with strategies on how we are to act as though we are already living abundant lives in order to open the door to a life of richness – in our work, relationships, and finances.

Like many of us here at MBB, this book will help you to open doors that you thought were impossible! Taking time out to do all the lessons in this book will not only give you perspective and a new lease on life, but will also boost your self confidence which will work to attract all the good things you envision for your life.

Lisa’s book has been adopted and used here at My Blooming Biz because her practical approach in mindset shifting as a precursor to abundance is what we strongly believe in and encouraged. We must believe than we can, before we can actually be rewarded with desired results. Our thoughts, words, and actions must be in alignment in order to bring forth WHATEVER we desire.

Lisa Nichols is visionary, and this book is life-changing. Get this book Abundance Now: Amplify Your Life & Achieve Prosperity Today, read all 336 pages, implement the strategies in your life, and expect your abundance – NOW.

20 Tony Robbins Quotes To Help You Manifest Your Greatness & Become The Empowered Woman You Were Truly Meant to Be

by My Blooming Biz | Mar 26, 2018 | Empowerment Tools, Financial Empowerment, Transformational Books, Women Empowerment

20 Tony Robbins Quotes to help You Manifest Your Greatness and Become the Empowered Woman You Were Born to Be

Tony Robbins, the highly sought after, deep thinking, thought-provoking motivational speaker has given us a lot of wise words we can meditate on and use to enhance our lives. His wisdom stems from his personal experiences as well as his view and observation of the people and world around him. He is doing amazing things in this world by impacting the lives of those of us who are passionate about self development.

My Blooming Biz has made it a priority for our entire team to attend at least one of his conferences, and being live has been an indescribable experience; one that for some reason has the potential to make one absorb more. However, if you haven’t had the chance to go see and experience him live, it is not too late. And if you really won’t be able to make it at all, no worries! He is everywhere speaking and his wisdom can be accessed via his books: 1) Awaken the Giant Within : How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Destiny!, 2) MONEY Master the Game: 7 Simple Steps to Financial Freedom, 3) Unlimited Power : The New Science Of Personal Achievement, his website, and across many influential media online.

Today we are sharing with you twenty of his quotes that are based on what we are passionate about here at My Blooming Biz, which is empowering you to manifest your greatness, and becoming the woman you were truly meant to be.

Twenty Tony Robbins Quotes to Empower You to Manifest YOUR Greatness and Become the Empowered Woman You Were Born to Be:

1. “Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.”

2. “Create a vision and never let the environment, other people’s beliefs, or the limits of what has been done in the past shape your decisions.”

3. “Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life.”

4. “It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.”

5. “Your life changes the moment you make a new, congruent, and committed decision.”

6. “We can change our lives. We can do, have and be exactly what we wish.”

7. “The path to success is to take massive, determined action.”

8. “The secret of success is learning to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you’re in control of your life. If you don’t, life controls you.”

9. “Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”

10. “Lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.”

11. “Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.”

12. “One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.”

13. “Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or that can literally save their lives.”

14. “If you don’t set a baseline standard for what you’ll accept in life, you’ll find it’s easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes or a quality of life that’s far below what you deserve.”

15. “There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.”

16. “Identify your problems, but give your power and energy to solutions.”

17. “Leaders spend 5% of their time on the problem & 95% of their time on the solution. Get over it and crush it!”

18. “Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life’s deepest joy: true fulfillment.”

19. “Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.”

20. “I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk.”

So to wrap up in a nutshell:

1. You must set goals in order to make anything you wish become a reality. And remember what we constantly stress here, that your goals must be S.M.A.R.T.

2. After creating your vision for your life, get to working on it, and allow nothing and no one to get in the way of you realizing that vision. This is powerful because too many times we allow what people say to sway our view of ourselves and have us question our capability to see our visions through. Don’t allow anyone to project their limiting view of themselves onto you. Create your vision, align yourself, and pursue pursue pursue.

3. Be conscious and present with yourself always and ensure you do what you want to do, and feel the way you want to feel on a daily basis by aligning yourself with the right people, environs and choosing how you respond to internal as well as external stimuli.

4. Decision-making is a huge part of our everyday lives, and one that can affect us enormously in good or bad ways. Thus it is imperative to apply critical thinking and brainstorming opposing ends before making BIG decisions.

5. You will see the changes you desire, the moment you make decisions that are in alignment with accomplishing your goals, and remain committed.

6. Absolutely! If we first know what we want, brainstorm how to get it, then put a plan in place and take consistent steps towards it – with discipline, we can indeed be, do and have WHATEVER we desire.

7. As he says, you must take huge, determined action to get to where you want to be – successful at whatever you’re pursuing.

8. Use every experience – pleasant or unpleasant to propel you towards your goal. Deduct the lesson, and use it to advance you forward.

9. Learning to ask the right questions is key in helping us receive the right answers for our different situations.

10. Knowing what to do is not enough. You have to start implementing what you know in order to get results, for it to materialize, to come to fruition.

11. If we channel our energy into mastering one single area of our life, there is a bigger potential that we will master that area, and that will bring us success. Instead of trying to do multiple things at once – businesses, careers, etc. focus on one thing – the thing you love to do, are very good at, and has the potential to make you money.

12. Concentrating our power in one area is a surefire way for us to achieve what we truly desire. Dabbling will result in the total opposite.

13. We have the power to shift our mindset, and use our experiences to enhance our lives. For example our mistakes which we call missteps here at My Blooming Biz, you can view them as stepping stones, deduct the lessons from them and use those lessons as catalyst for your advancement.

14. We must set clear standards and guidelines for ourselves and ensure we adhere to them. Without these in place anything will go, and anything go lifestyle is detrimental.

15. Again, perspective makes the difference. Take time out to mourn what you view as your loss, but don’t dwell there. Examine the input and the results, and learn from it.

16. You must identify your problem or else you cannot solve it; however, once you have, do not spend your time focusing on the problem. Use your time and energy to find the solution to your problem. Some of us can talk about the problem for days, with little to no focus on a solution. The problem will take all the power and energy, leaving none to brainstorm a solution.

17. Yes! Same here again. Spend as little time as possible – just enough to figure out what the problem is, then use most of your time to craft and devise a solution to the problem. Being solution-oriented pays!

18. If you have not been giving, then you have not yet received the biggest fulfillment any human can experience. There is a deep fulfillment to be had from giving selflessly and sincerely.

19. By replenishing and becoming more than what we currently are and have, we can therefore give what has not yet been given.

20. Make your life the masterpiece you want it to be, by knowing what you want, crafting a plan to get it, and moving consistently towards it – with discipline. As we say here at My Blooming Biz, Design and Live Your Dream Lifestyle.

So there you have it, Twenty Tony Robbins Quotes to Help You Manifest Your Greatness and Become The Empowered Woman You Were Truly Meant To Be.

Cheers to your empowerment 🍷

Transformational Book Series – Our Picks | The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

by My Blooming Biz | Feb 13, 2018 | Empowerment Tools, Personal Growth & Development, Transformational Books, Wholistic Empowerment, Women Empowerment

Last month marked the start of a new MBB series to highlight transformational books for women called Transformational Book Series – Our Picks. This month we’re excited to continue the series by sharing with you our next transformational book in the series – The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey.

We have adopted his principle-centered, holistic approach to efficiency in our programs, and it is highly attributive to our culture and operations here at MBB.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People outlines seven habits everyone must have in order to navigate life effectively. We all know that there is an order to things in this life, but what the author has done in this book is to orchestrate the order and clarify its components. He has established timeless principles that have proven effective to millions of people around the world, and women have used them to transform their lives enormously.

So what are these 7 habits of highly effective people?

Habit.1) Be Proactive

Habit.2) Begin with the end in mind

Habit.3) Put first things first

Habit.4) Think win win

Habit.5) Seek first to understand, then to be understood

Habit.6) Synergize

Habit.7) Sharpen the Saw

Be Proactive

As we continue to emphasize in all our programs here at MBB, you must remain proactive in all your endeavors. People who are proactive accomplish more with less time, and are proven to be happier than people who are reactive – accomplishing less with more time. In reactive living one focuses on the things he or she cannot control and continuously complain about it – uselessly, while the proactive lifestyler focus on what he or she can control and influence, and using those things to improve their situation.

Begin With The End in Mind

This approach serves us well when applied to everything we set out to do. And that is why it is so deeply engraved in everything we do here at MBB. When you visualize your end goal, you end up having a strategic vision for yourself or your business. You will then set and implement SMART goals with each task aligning and moving you closer to that vision being accomplished. That vision of your end goal will keep you anchored, and the strategic steps you’ve laid out in your goal book will simplify the process encouraging you to keep going as you move forward and the end becomes closer and clearer in view. If you don’t know what you want, you will not know how to get it, and if you don’t know where you’re going, you will not know how to get there.

Put First Things First

In our modern day super busy lifestyle, if we’re not careful we can run ourselves into the ground “busy doing everything” but accomplishing very little in the process. And so this habit is designed to help us prioritize. Prioritizing how we use our most important resource – time, is paramount if we are to live efficiently – using less time to get more. This habit is divided into four quadrants where you will layout all your dealings or things to do in order of priority. They are: Quadrant 1 – important and urgent, Quadrant 2 – important but not urgent, Quadrant 3 – urgent but not important, and Quadrant 4 – not urgent and not important. This setup allows us to live our lives according to the values we choose for ourselves, and enable us to consciously use our time to focus on those things that are taking us closer to our goals in quadrant 1, with the rest of our time spent in quadrant 2 improving ourselves.

Think Win Win

For the most part, we all want to win when we compete. And for a lot of things such as sports competition, someone has to lose in order for the other to win. In many things however, such as in business, a person or company does not have to lose in order for another to win. We can entertain what Stephen Covey calls the Win Win approach – which means finding ways to build interdependent relationships and make business deals that are mutually beneficial to all involved. Thinking win win can only happen when parties involved are approaching the relationship from an abundance mentality rather than a scarcity mentality. The abundance mentality as the name suggests, is having the world view that that there is plenty of “success” out there for everyone to have, while the scarcity mentality will put you in a “zero-sum” mind-frame which says, “If you get it, I don’t.”

Seek First to Understand Then to Be Understood

This is huge! Your important relationships could benefit from this. Many times in relationships we end up escalating discourse that could have been simply resolved, into big “OOC” arguments that many times causes hurtful words to be introduced that are relationship-killing. We each so deftly want to be understood, that no effort is made to understand the other party. Imagine, if we listen to understand, instead of listening only to respond. This principle can also be applied to religion, race, countries. Can you imagine what would happen if we all seek first to understand, then to be understood?

Synergize

We love synergy here at MBB! What this habit means is to engage in teamwork so openly and so well that even disagreements and differences of opinion can somehow lead to finding new ways of approaching a problem or even solving them. When members in a team are thinking win win and seeking first to understand each other, it will have no alternative but to lead to synergy, aligning on the same side with the same goals, and finding creative solutions despite the earlier disagreement in managing the project. This habit if adopted by everyone, could change our world for the better. No more wars, killings, fightings – just synergizing and basically finding common ground.

Sharpen the Saw

Yes, we cannot become so complacent that we stop learning, improving, and growing. Sharpening our Saw means taking the time to ensure our minds, bodies, and spirits are ready to take on the challenge of constant improvement. However, this cannot happen unless we take a step back from our hectic, ever demanding schedules in order to rest, reflect, read and fill our spirits, and spend quality time with our loved ones doing the things we all enjoy doing – at regular intervals. To remain highly effective, we must constantly recharge and restore our body, mind and spirit.

We have adopted these principles here at MBB, in addition to many others that we have harnessed over the years, and if you are a client of ours we have already passed them on to you through one or more of our many programs and workshops here. But for those of youwho are reading this and it’s new to you, go ahead and get this book, read it, and apply these habits and principles to your life. We have just narrowly touched the surface of this book in this blog post, and there is so much more for you to experience and grasp from Stephen R Covey himself in his book.

Stephen R. Covey is a mastermind, and this book is a masterpiece. Get this book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People By Stephen R. Covey, read it, implement the strategies in your life, and we promise you – you will NEVER be the same again! In a good way!
