Because it’s glowing, burning, lighting you up inside. Finding your voice. Because your truth is welling, urging, bursting to be let loose. Living your passion. Because anything else is settling for second-best. Stop waiting. Stop settling. Step up, step out, and step into your light. Bask in it. Shine with it. Dance in the brilliance of your star.

Celebrating Creativity with

Heidi Totten

Hi. I’m Heidi Totten, The Strategy Coach. I’ll own it – I’m brilliant. I’m technically savvy and I stay current. I didn’t get this brilliant on my own. It’s also because I was not afraid to invest in myself and hire incredible mentors. And that’s why I have spent the past four years learning and implementing and launching people into business. I worked in the technical and corporate recruiting world for thirteen years before taking my big leap into the world of entrepreneurship. Since then I’ve had big wins and big fails, and I’ve overcome fear. When I say I want to be your strategic partner, I’m not messing around! And you’ll clearly be in excellent hands. 7 | 50 SHADES OF PAID • SEPTEMBER 2016


Celebrating Creativity with Heidi Totten What inspired you to start your company? A friend said, “I want you to figure out what you want to do, so that I can hire you to do it for my business.” I determined that being a business consultant for “SOULpreneurs” to accelerate their success was just that. What does being creative mean to you? Using sharpies, a lot of self-care, traveling to Kenya twice a year to unplug and play with lions, humanitarian work! How Do You Handle Stress? I schedule massages regularly, and I see a lot of movies because I love popcorn. Also playing with friends and grounding in the outdoors–when there isn’t 2 feet of snow. When there’s snow, grounding means watching The Hobbit. How do you help people? I’m a strategic partner with solopreneurs, so they won’t have to do it alone. They become part of my power network. I think it’s important that they feel connected, and I support them with my instincts and expertise. It’s also important for them to connect with useful/pertinent resources; and I help my clients do that too. One of my clients recently reached thirty-five million potential customers through a Facebook post that went viral. Thirty-five million! Not only that, articles on that post appeared on People.com and Today.com. Successes like that are gratifying and powerful, but my most significant accomplishment was writing my book, Homeschool On Fire: Be the CEO of Your Business and Homeschool. It shared advice about balancing business and home schooling, and hit #1 on Amazon on my birthday no less. How does creativity support your life purpose? I love going into every strategy session relying on both my intuition and expertise to support my clients. Being creative and thinking outside of the box, which I also love, helps me kick people out of their comfort zone. That movement is where the magic happens! I keep my services simple: a free thirty minute call to decide if you and I are a fit. A three hour strategy session to create a map for three to six months, followed by ongoing monthly calls to keep you moving forward. Where is your virtual residence?

The Courage to Start Again BY KADENA TATE-SIMON

We all come to the point when we have to begin again. Whether we’ve failed at something, closed an old chapter, or ended an intimate relationship, we have to pick up the pieces and start fresh with a blank slate. It’s scary to put ourselves out there yet again and invest our time, money, energy, and emotions in something/someone new. How do we keep our hearts open and not close ourselves off to new experiences? Start small. Depending on the project or relationship you’re nurturing, you might be tempted to dive in headfirst and figure it out as you go along. That’s great for mojo, but not so great if you fall into overwhelm.

9 | 50 SHADES OF PAID • SEPTEMBER 2016


The Courage to Start Again

PART 2

Start small and write down your intentions for your new venture. Why is it important to you? Why must you do it? What will change if you do it, and what will happen if you don’t? Get clear on your motivations to start again and make sure you’re not lugging around any toxic emotional baggage that’ll derail your efforts. Make a doable action plan. Now that you’re clear on your intentions and motivations, act on them in a consistent, effective manner by making an action plan that breaks everything down into bite-sized chunks. Do something every day that moves you forward. When you keep your actions simple, you have a better chance of success than you’d have if you tried to do everything all at once. Having a doable action plan also preps you for success because it keeps your new project/relationship front of mind, and focuses your attention on moving forward no matter what. And if you need to tweak your action plan to better fit your circumstances, you act from flow because you’re immersed in your new thing. This immersion lets you course correct quickly & effectively, particularly when you call in outside help to get you through the tough times. Rally support. I’ve already talked about coaches, masterminds, accountability buddies, and supportive girlfriends/tribe members, so I’ll just remind you to get the help you need to stay on track for your goals. You can’t do it all alone, and you shouldn’t have to. It’s much easier to keep going when you have people who believe in you cheering you on and urging you to do your best. It helps when you have someone who gets what you’re doing light your fire when your flames sputter out.

SEPTEMBER 2016 • 50 SHADES OF PAID | 10


PART 3

The Courage to Start Again Release your attachment to specific outcomes. Sometimes we want to know exactly how our desires will manifest and unfold, and we only get in our own way when we do that. Declare your intentions and desires, and let the Universe handle all the details for you. Know what you want to happen, yes, but release having to know how it happens. Let your new path unfold and trust that it’s working out for your highest good. Make space to receive what’s coming and stay open to your intuition’s cues so you can ride the wave of events, not be submerged by it. Starting again is always a bold step, so recognize your efforts and appreciate yourself for committing to it. Design a seamless experience that lets you start small, make a doable action plan, rally support, and release any attachment to specific outcomes. When you stay open to the flow of the Universe and show up from a place of love, grace, and confidence, starting again feels easier and more fun. Give yourself the time and space to ease into your journey so you can reach the finish line and feel the way you want to feel.
