Design (& Live) Your Dream Lifestyle Los Angeles 2018

CEO of My Blooming Biz Eugénie Nugent presenting at MBB 's Design Your Dream Lifestyle LA

MBB DYDL LA Event 2018

MBB hosted our 3rd biannual Design Your Dream Lifestyle event on Saturday, this time in the beautiful aesthetically pleasing Los Angeles.  Over 100 women attended of whom 68 are active participants in our Design Your Dream Lifestyle Workshop, and 22 women signed up to start our Lifestyle Designing program.

We are happy to say that MBB DYDL participants are delighted with our program as they are seeing results and “feeling fantastic and optimistic” in the words of Jada McIntosh and Isabella Reid, about their new lifestyle and where they are headed – respectively. See more of what My Blooming Biz family are saying on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages, and don’t forget to like, follow, and interact with us while you’re there.

We handed out over 100 bags of goodies that include mbb gift cards, discounts to our WERK Your Money Making Genie Workshop and our UPPPP Your Genius system of programs, and copies of our popular signature book written by our CEO Eugénie Nugent titled – Unleash: Activate Your Power, Manifest Your Greatness & Become The Empowered Woman You Were Born to Be. Lots of goodies! But if you were not at our event, do not despair! Sign up to our newsletter and get notified of our next event, and also of new launches and promotions.

In addition to being created because we understand the brilliance, beauty, and boldness of women and the role that being balanced and purpose-driven can play in improving women’s lives, My Blooming Biz International was created to help women harness their skills and talents and use them to propel a ton of money to flow in. In order to live life on our own terms we need money – and lots of it, and in recognition of that, our CEO and founder Eugénie Nugent – in collaboration with her team, have designed programs that are specific to building wealth and becoming financially independent such as our MASTER Your Finances workshop.

As she often says and strongly believes, “Having our finances in order is the highest form of self-love, a love that cannot help but to command respect.

Money is a subject many people are still hesitant to speak freely about, but money expands who we are, and what we are able to access. And so, as we teach here at My Blooming Biz; being open about money – changing the way we view, treat, and interact with money will be the difference in whether we snatch, snatch and let go, or snatch and hold on to it, as she wrote in her book, The Elusive Money: How to Snatch & Hold On To It.
  Bottom line: Money commands respect! And for those of us who were taught to hate money and negatively treat money, we need a new mindset in order to accept and act on this new reality.

Design Your Dream Lifestyle programs and events are designed to bring out the best in you and challenge you to empower yourself. In our CEO’s own words, “We are here to pull things out of you that you didn’t know were there, and assist you in making them work for you, to the enhancement and betterment of your overall life.” She has selectively created four (4) programs to help women become empowered and she is relentless in making “the empowered woman lifestyle” a reality for thousands of women.

Download your FREE copy of our Lifestyle Designing Workbook and complete the worksheets. It is packed with thought-provoking questions to get you thinking about your current life situation, where you would rather be, and how you can equip yourself (with our help) to get there.

Our next DYDL event will be in July, so sign up to our newsletter and be informed when our venue is solidified.

With love, gratitude, and empowered attitude,

Transformational Book Series – Our Picks | Goals: How to Get Everything You Want Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible

We are kicking off a new MBB series titled Transformational Book Series – Our Picks. Not only have these books transformed our lives individually but they have helped to transform us professionally here at My Blooming Biz International. As this is the start of the year, we find it very fitting to kickoff our series with a well-written book about goals and goal setting by best selling author and motivational speaker Brian Tracy titled Goals: How to Get Everything You Want Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible.

Goal setting is an integral part of anyone accomplishing anything. In fact, if you do not have a goal there is nothing to move towards, and if there is nothing to move towards, you cannot strategize on how to get there and all your movements will be aimless. And so as we begin this new year, many of us look back at the goals that were set and accomplished the past year and the goals that were not accomplished, and move to either accomplish those goals in this new year or set new goals completely. So it is with this in mind that we have chosen to begin our series with this well written book about goals.

If you’ve been with us here at MBB for a while, you already know the importance of setting and implementing SMART goals. But what Brian has done in this book is to delve into the intricacies of not only setting those goals but setting up strategies and approaches that will ensure you follow through.

The goal setting process also include identifying the things and tools that will be needed in order for set goals to be accomplished. It is a comprehensive approach designed to ensure you complete your journey from visualization through actualization to materialization. Brian presents the essential principles you need to know to make your dreams come true.

Using the twenty-one strategies Brian outlines, you’ll be able to accomplish any goals you set for yourself — no matter how big. You’ll discover how to determine your own strengths, what you truly value in life, and what you really want to accomplish in the years ahead. Brian demonstrates how to build your self-esteem and self-confidence, approach every problem or obstacle effectively, overcome difficulties, respond to challenges, and continue forward toward your goals – no matter what happens. Most importantly, you’ll learn a system for achievement that you will use for the rest of your life.

Get this Goals: How to Get Everything You Want Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible, read it, and use the strategies to refine your goals as well as your approach to accomplishing them.

With love, gratitude, and empowered attitude,

My Blooming Biz International

Self-Love: Loving Yourself Unconditionally – Including Your Imperfections

Self Love: Loving Yourself Unconditionally, Including Your Imperfections

Self-love.  What is the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear this word?

To me, self-love means to truly love yourself – with all your imperfections, the way you look, how you act, how you think – without giving a fadizzle what others think about you.  Loving yourself without conditions – unconditionally!   You love yourself even when you’re mad at yourself because you took your parents advice and marry Dick over Harry and that ended badly and now you’re having to start all over again.  (A bit dramatic, but you get the picture?)  You accept what happened, cry or laugh about it, learn from it (yes, deduct the lessons from your losses – there are always lessons), dust yourself off and continue on with your self-love in tact.

One aspect of self-love is that you love spending time with yourself.  It’s not enough to love spending time alone while watching TV or reading a book.  Yes, that’s awesome! But you have to go deeper than that.  Can you be in your own company with your own thoughts doing nothing but just being?  Do you like yourself when you’re not motivated and feeling kinda out of place?  What about when you put on weight or when you’re angry and are having a heated argument with someone?  Do you still love yourself in those moments?  It’s a process to really and truly accept and love yourself as a whole.  You do not have to love the situation or what is happening to cause you to feel uncomfortable to the point where you want to self-hate, but if you learn to separate that thing from your person, you will be better able to disconnect it from you and thus use it as a learning tool.

I have learned not to self-sabotage, and self-hate but prior to that I cannot tell you how many times I’ve beaten upon myself with the “You’re so stupid!”, How could you’ve done that?!” “You stupid fool!” and at times literally harming myself.  (You do not want to hear about that, I promise you!).  True story.  But how do you get to that stage of being wholeheartedly comfortable with yourself?  It’s a process and it takes time.  And sometimes when you think you’re already there, you find that there’s still so much to learn.  It can be hard to love yourself through some things, but with each trial and overcoming, you will be stronger and get closer to loving your self unconditionally as you will definitely learn so much more about yourself with each trial and triumph.

I think it’s important to acknowledge that it all starts in your mind. Negative thoughts can have such a negative effect and there’s really no room for them. It’s easy for me to write this because I’m naturally a positive person, but trying to change the negative thoughts to positive ones can make such a difference. Simply reminding yourself: “it’s okay, everything is okay”. It’s okay to feel anxious and not good enough.  Recognizing negative thoughts is half the work. Know that not being a positive person is okay too.  Think about what you would say to your loved one if they were feeling uninspired and down.  I’m sure you would be encouraging and kind, so be the same to yourself.  It’s hard but not impossible.  I really like self-loving affirmations, inspiring quotes and even listening to inspiring videos on YouTube.  You could also say those affirmations to yourself.  I’m sure we’ve all seen it in a movie before; someone standing in front of a mirror saying to themselves “I’m beautiful. I’m worthy. I’m proud of myself”. It’s so easy to believe negative things that someone is saying about you but did you ever think that positive things you say about yourself can also be the truth?

The biggest part of mastering the art of self-love is beginning to take better care of yourself – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.  Doing things that make us genuinely happy and fulfilled is the way to go.  For me, it’s going for a walk to enjoy nature, doing yoga, having a home spa evening, watching a TV show, meditating, or reading. I don’t think we should worry about being perfect. No one is! Simply start practicing self-loving thoughts and incorporate self-care acts and practices into your life.

Ladies, we cannot look to someone to love us when we don’t even love ourselves.  Not gonna happen!  And you know what?  You could attract a narcissist whose vibratory lens are keen at identifying self-sabotaging, self-hating women and are masters at pretending to be just what you need – initially, until you are deeply entwined in their web of deceit.

And finally, as our CEO here at MY Blooming Biz Eugénie Nugent once wrote, “Having our finances in order is the highest form of self-love, a love that cannot help but to command respect.”  This is definitely another aspect of self-love.  Being financially secure!  We need money to do pretty much everything on a daily basis, and while it cannot afford us the important intangibles, it will allow us to have the tangibles that are vital to our very being.  Without financial security, many women often find themselves in precarious situations where they are being pimped and abused, or living in inhumane conditions.  If you are not financially independent, this should be your immediate priority.  Your self-love depends on it.  Your livelihood depends on it.  Your life depends on it.  You cannot leave something this important to anyone else.  Your finances is your lifeblood, and your lifeblood is your life.

Bottom line: If you do not like something about your physical, you can change it.  There is exercise, healthy foods, and even plastic surgery available – thanks to innovation and how far we have come.  If you don’t like where you’re at financially, you can change that too.  Most things about us can change, but whatever you do, do not strive to be anyone else.  Do not zone in on any person and start working at being just like them.  You will not be successful at being them, and you may just become self-loathing.  Your unique essence of you is exclusive to YOU.  You cannot be anyone else, and no-one else can be you.  Connect with your inner self and allow that connection to manifest.

Show yourself some LOVE, we all deserve it.  Embrace and love YOU!

Love & Light,

21 Rules to Live By So You Can Enjoy a Higher Quality of Life

21 Rules to Live by So You Can Enjoy a High Quality of Life

We all look to accomplish and achieve things everyday because we want to enjoy a high standard of living and a higher quality of life. If we adhere to certain rules and principles, we can ensure our goals and dreams will be fulfilled.

Here are 21 rules to live by so you can enjoy a high standard of living and a higher quality of life:

1. Never compromise your integrity for anyone or anything.

2. Set SMART goals and work at them until you have achieved them all.

3. Never wait for something to happen; make it happen! Do it now!

4. Allow nothing and no-one to hinder you from accomplishing your goals. Life’s darts may knock you off track but dust yourself off, get back on track and keep it moving to the finish line.

5. Deduct the lessons from your losses before tossing them. Toss them, you must!

6. Do not try to be all things to all people. Learn to say no politely and pleasantly, but immediately and firmly.

7. Set clear boundaries! Let people know what lines they can and cannot cross with you.

8. Do not be overwhelmed by the tasks before you. Don’t try to do everything at once; just do one thing at a time. Do something!

9. To accomplish your objective, first begin. Secondly, concentrate exclusively on the project at hand. Third, don’t stop!

10. Document and celebrate all your wins!

11. Let circumstances dictate your priorities; let priorities determine your actions.

12. Focus your efforts on the root of the problem. Do not expend energy on peripheral issues that are not crucial to producing results.

13. For maximum effectiveness, do only what you do best and let others do the rest.

14. Concentrate on long-term, permanent solutions rather than stop gap measures.

15. Do not waste time telling people what you are doing or what you are going to do. Results have a way of informing the world!

16. Do not make promises you cannot keep; once made, keep them!

17. Don’t be tempted to take the easy way out! Have the self-discipline to do the right thing rather than the instinctive easier thing.

18. Don’t become lax; play every point as though it were matching point.

19. Allow opportunity to find you ready!

20. You are not through until you have dotted all the i’s and crossed all the t’s.

21. Avoid premature celebrations! You are not through till the check has cleared the bank.

As we have here at MBB, and our many empowered Power Circle women around the globe, abide by these 21 rules and you can be sure that you too will enjoy a higher quality of life.

With love, gratitude, and empowered attitude,

My Blooming Biz International

I Wrote a Love Letter to My Future Self (and You Should Too 😋

My Love Letter to Future Me - Katherine G - My Blooming Biz

Wait! What?

Yes, you heard right. I wrote a love letter to be delivered to me at some point in the future acknowledging my achievements, lessons, and letting my future self know how much I love, admire, and appreciate her.

Here’s why:
1. To reinforce my self-love and help me acknowledge how supercalifragilisticexpialidocious I am.
2. To keep me accountable to myself by ensuring those things I document get done in that time frame.
3. To measure my progress and applaud myself for all my accomplishments during that period – in spite of all the sh*t I’ve gone through.

“If you aren’t good at loving yourself, don’t expect anyone else to be good at loving you. You set the tone!” Katherine Goldman

If you take one look at your life, you will see you have a lot to be grateful for. But you also likely have some areas that you would like to improve. And thankfully, you can improve those areas. Just make a note of them and devise a plan to change them to the way you want. And by now you probably know that setting goals is a great way to begin the process of creating the change you want to see in your life.

As you pursue those goals you will at times need a picker upper, you know, a reason to continue. So what can you do to lift yourself up as you go through the stages of pursuing those goals?

One of the most creative ways to manifest your big goals is to write them down in the form of a love letter. Not to your romantic partner this time – to YOU. Write a love letter to the future, more successful you and then email it to yourself at some point in the future. As I outlined above, it will give you that push to continue when you know you’ve already document it, and cannot disappoint yourself. I promise that this process will motivate you for months to come!

Here’s what you do:

Step #1: Write an Inspiring Love Letter to Your Future Self – Begin by whipping out your journal and your favorite pen. Put your cell phone on silent, close your laptop, and take about 30 minutes to write an inspiring letter about how your life will be improved in the next 12 months. By writing your goals down in the form of a letter, it will give you a simple framework for this exercise. It might feel weird at first, but just trust the process and keep going!

To give you some structure, you can use the outline below for your letter that addresses the 8 keys areas of your life based on our Lifestyle Designing Workbook here at My Blooming Biz International. Or, you can just freestyle your own!

Dear [your name],

Congratulations on all the progress you’ve made so far!

Now you have even more to be grateful for in each area of your life, including:

Family & Friends: You love . . .

Health & Wellness: You love . . .

Love & Romance: You love . . .

Career & Business: You love . . .

Money & Finance: You love . . .

Personal Growth & Development: You love . . .

Housing & Accommodation: You love . . .

Geographic Location & Community: You love . . .

Your life is so much better now and it’s all because of your hard work and dedication.

Keep it up!

Love,

[your name]

Step #2: Schedule Your Letter to Be Emailed to You 12 Months From Now – Now go ahead and type or paste your letter into futureme.org, a site that allows you to write a letter to be emailed to yourself at a later date. Make sure your letter is scheduled to be sent to you exactly 12 months from now. This is why I love technology!

I also wanted to be transparent with my own personal growth process and model this exercise for you by sharing my own letter below. Feel free to use my example to help you write your letter. For my letter, I chose to send it to the future me exactly 12 months from now – August 1, 2018.

Katherine’s Love Letter:

Dear Katherine,

Congratulations on all the progress you’ve made in the past year!

You love how you are eating healthier, and taking care of your body – internally as well as externally. You love it that you continue to get a clean bill of health from your doctor.

You love that you are now closer to your best friend and able to stay connected with your family as well. You love that you have been able to “make the rounds” and catch up with your grandmother, sister, brother and cousins as their lives are changing and evolving.

You love that you have continued to live debt free! And have maintained a perfect 800 credit score. You love having an ongoing travel fund that has allowed you to spend several months around the globe such as Europe, France, Italy and Spain – indulging in the incredible foods, cultures and everything they have to offer.

You love that your business is helping thousands of women all over the world. You love being a part of the leadership of a wonderful community that is having a ripple effect on others. You love hearing about all the people who have used your work to change their lives – including your new book, training courses and coaching programs.

You love that you have prioritized the next stage of your personal transformation, met some amazing trailblazers on your bucket list, and have the opportunity of a lifetime to continue to connect with them. You love the way you keep showing up for yourself and for your purpose, even when it feels uncomfortable and scary.

You love how you have been able to ask for and receive guidance and support from the coaches and mentors in your life who are committed to helping you become the highest version of yourself.

You love the woman you are becoming because she is more courageous, confident and self-aware than ever before. You love the way you are strengthening your spirituality and experiencing more peace and freedom in your life and relationships.

Your life is much better now and it’s all because of your hard work and dedication.

You are beautiful. You are powerful. You are loved.

Katherine
