TURN YOUR BIG, CRAZY IDEAS INTO REALITY Making the decision to change your life and go after your dreams is never quite as glamorous as it sounds. For most of us, starting your own business means stepping into the unknown. No more security of a regular wage. No more switching off once the office is closed and no more set roles. When selfemployed, you can no longer do your job 'with your eyes shut'. Â Aside from the things you need to do, there is also all that undue pressure you put on yourself to get it right and know it all from the outset.
A ridiculous notion, but we all do it. Then there's the icing on the cake. A whole host of 'well meaning' loved ones and negative ninnies telling you you are crazy! How are you ever going to do that? Blah, blah, blah! So, now we've taken a glimpse at the downside of making your dreams come true are you ready for the magic? Nothing will ever fill you with as much passion, hope, inspiration and motivation than knowing that you have opened up your life to endless opportunity.
There will never be a limit on how far you can go, or how much you can earn. Yes it's going to be hard, it is going to be scary. You are going to struggle getting to sleep and when you finally do fall asleep your dreams are going to repeat everything you tried to stop thinking about, but it will all be so worth it. That life you envisage for yourself and your family? It's yours. You've already seen it, breathed it, smelt it, touched it. Whatever your dream, no  matter how big, bright, bold or crazy it may seem, you are the magic to make it happen. To help keep you on track get help, get support, get a mentor. You cannot do everything on your own. We all need some level of support.
You don't have to spend thousands on coaching programs or to hire a mentor, these are, for the most part extremely valuable and should bring you high returns on your investment but for many of us just starting out, we simply can't afford it. Get on social media, not obsessively, check out some groups on facebook or Linkedin, there are so many and it will take a bit of time finding the right group. Set aside a time each day to connect with the group and you will have a great support system to keep you inspired and motivated as well as a great place to bounce ideas off. If you are feeling overwhelmed by all the groups out there, join the free Femz Insider Hub and we'll send you the invite to join The Fempreneurz private group.
You've done your research, you've got your support system now you need to plan your journey. The business plan is a great tool used correctly. I'm not talking about the type of business plan everybody is producing to help them gain finance from the banks, very dull, very boring and frankly, naff. Create a business plan that inspires you. Be detailed about the steps you are going to take. Do the financials for you. How much do you want to earn and how can you do it? Break it down and then break it down again. The same for your goals. What do you want to achieve? How will you get there?
Producing a business plan can be highly motivating, you just need to see it as the plan for your dreams rather than a document you have to or should produce. Change your mindset and make it work for you. Your business plan is the tool to help you stay focused, remembering your why, where and how. If you really are struggling to get past the 'formality' of the business plan sign up to the Femz Insider Hub for you free Plan with Passion workbook and mastermind. Join the Femz Insider Hub Here

the 5 Keys TO MENTAL SUCCESS The phrase 'mind over matter' is often spoken but rarely implemented. Every action we take is determined by our mind. If we want to be successful in life, whether that be our personal life, relationships, career, business or health we must begin by unlocking our minds and taking control of out thoughts.
Key 1: Acceptance Do you have the power to accept the matters you are able to change and the things you can't change? Do you have the power to accept that others may alter them, instead of you altering them? Do you admit that you are who you are, no matter what other people think? Can you accept the many changes that come about in your life? If you replied yes to one or all of these questions then you are off to a good start on bettering your life. If you are willing to accept,
you can discover the ways to gain command of any situation. You can choose how to let a circumstance affect you. When you are able to accept matters in life, including you and other people you discover a way to take charge. When you're in command, it helps you to see how you are able to better your life. When you learn to accept you'll learn to discover you. Individualism is personal. Philosophers over generalize this matter. Many individuals in the world believe that when we act the same way at all times, we have demonstrated our identity. Incorrect!
"You can choose how to let a circumstance effect you"
We can't change people's behaviour but we can change our own We have emotions, views, behaviours, actions and have been overrun by a world of influences both great and foul. Every day we feel something new, which causes our personality to reflect on these alterations.
Consequently, when you see somebody laughing one minute and shouting the next, you're seeing a shift in emotions, which is a normal rule of identity for this individual. Unless the person’s views alter, behaviours change dramatically, acquaintances change regularly, and so forth, then you're watching common behaviours. We live in a domain that desensitizes us. We are surrounded by billions of influences on TV, in the media, on radio, in homes, government,schools and so on. Each to their own, but everybody is judging somebody at some time, which is something we must accept. We can't change people’s behaviours and way of believing, but we can change ours. This is a part of discovering and accepting. The best way around the world is to become your own influence and let other influences make another persons life miserable. Only trust in sources that prove honest with their actions, behaviours and words. Positive reflections are the key to living happier.

"Discover the humour in life"
As you grow, you will feel a fresh hunger and that hunger will guide you to find fresh ways to better yourself. Eventually as you begin to feel better, you'll see a need to work out, eat right, and hang out with positive influences. Once you feel this hunger, you will feel inspired to work to accomplish your goals.
Once you learn to accept you'll be eager to smile. For example, if somebody makes you mad you'll see the humour in his or her actions. You might see the wit in your actions if you make an error and feed into their foolishness. Once you begin to discover the humour in life, you will feel better within. We are involved in a rambunctious world filled with greedy individuals, envious souls, lusty tigers, etc. We must learn how to work around these individuals, accept ourselves and march on. Once you learn to change to better you, others may follow. Good behaviour has proven far better than words to encourage other people to change.
Key 2: Bravery Establishing bravery will help you take risks to a sunnier future that you normally wouldn't take. When you establish bravery, you put concern behind you. Bravery is the action of admitting that you have concerns, yet are amenable to discover a way to overcome those fears and not allow these concerns to take charge of you. It is okay to experience your fears at pertinent times. For example, if a bus is aiming down on you, you've a right to fear. There's nothing ill-timed with healthy concern. The issue is you have to put healthy concern in its place and unhealthy concern out of your life. Once you establish bravery, you'll learn to selfdirect in life. You'll learn to accept penalty and rewards graciously. A brave individual will frequently feel motivated to take on blame and responsibility while critiquing their actions and utilizing what they learn to move ahead.
Put healthy concern in it's place & unhealthy concern out of your life
Brave individuals will step to the front, instead of stepping back when opportunities move their way. On the other hand, a brave individual will step back and take a look at his or her errors graciously. Occasionally the brave individual is spontaneous. It's never good to plan every day, as no one knows what the next day will introduce. Consider it. How many times have you plotted something to see it shatter in your face the following day. For example,you plan to go to an event tomorrow. Come tomorrow a snowstorm, hurricane, twister, wind storm, or rainstorm may change your plans. You planned, but did you plan for the weather conditions. Did you make a substitute plan in case your first plan bombed? As you are able to see, planning isn't always in your favour, which is why brave individuals are occasionally spontaneous. An individual willing to improve their life will loosen up. This individual will relax even when plans bomb. For example, if it stormed the next day the individual will discover something else to use up his or her time and feel even as happy about linking up with this new adventure. To become successful and better your life you need to learn how to trust you. When you trust you, you are able to trust other people. Regrettably, we live in a domain where trust is difficult to find, yet when you trust yourself, you can’t fault other people when matters go wrong. Bettering your life includes utilizing your creative and decisive mind. When you are able to produce fresh ideas, you are on to the road to success. You have a lot of options in this world; it takes you to pull out resources to discover those choices. Occasionally in life, we feel uncomfortable. As a matter of fact, this is usual. Are you willing to accept your irritations? Maybe at an interview you feel lost. Are you willing to accept this irritation and discover a way to deliver a great speech to impress the interviewer? As an alternative, are you willing to let negative energies cost you the job.
Establishing bravery will help you take risks to a sunnier future that you normally wouldn't take. When you establish bravery, you put concern behind you. Bravery is the action of admitting that you have concerns, yet are amenable to discover a way to overcome those fears and not allow these concerns to take charge of you. It is okay to experience your fears at pertinent times. For example, if a bus is aiming down on you, you've a right to fear. There's nothing ill-timed with healthy concern. The issue is you have to put healthy concern in its place and unhealthy concern out of your life. Once you establish bravery, you'll learn to selfdirect in life. You'll learn to accept penalty and rewards graciously. A brave individual will frequently feel motivated to take on blame and responsibility while critiquing their actions and utilizing what they learn to move ahead. Do you accept the matters you can't change? Do you accept the matters you have command over? Do you accept others, irrespective of how these individuals act? Do you accept you for who you are? Do you accept the alterations that life brings your way? Acceptance is your key to felicity. When you are able to learn to accept the great with the foul, you are able to learn how to live happier and improve your life.
"take risks to a sunnier future"
Key 3: Habits Habits, ah those awful habits. Habits are acquired from training, influences, observance, and practice. We acquire many habits throughout our life, of which some are great and others are bad. Great habits we may keep, but if you are to improve your life the bad habits have to take a hike. Doing away with bad habits however isn't simple, particularly if a dependency is involved. For this reason, we may take a couple of steps to learning how you are able to alter your habits. Creating excuses: Individuals roam through life creating excuses. Anytime an individual sees something complicated, they'll frequently build excuses why they can't deal with the issue. “This is simply the way I am.” This is a basic problem in the world, which we’ve all listened to billions of times. If you are out to better your life though, you need to state, “This is something that obstructs me from accomplishment and I've the might to change it. One of the biggest steps to success is to quit making excuses. Determine how to tell the truth. The truth is the solitary answer that leads you to better your life. When you learn to tell the truth, you'll have to commit yourself to learning fresh behaviours and habits. You are able to commit by selecting a fresh habit. Today I plan to drink a lot of water. Some of us hate water, yet water is our way of living fitter. Rather than hating something that will save your life, begin stating, today I'll drink a lot of water. Even if you begin drinking a glass for the first couple of days, you're causing changes. Today I'm going to quit judging other people and myself. This is a primary mistake individuals make in the world. They expend time judging other people and themselves. This gets them nowhere but in a domain of bedlam. You make your bed; you have to learn to sleep in it, which is why you ought to alter your ways. Judgement is only for our Master in the sky. Do you think negatively? I can’t change this. My life is full of bunk; I can’t manage it any longer. Why me? Who placed a tag on my head, stating "oppress me."
If you spend your life thinking negatively and stating negative connotations, attempt altering your ways today. For example; State, I can alter something and I'm going to. Rather than stating life is full of bunk, accept it as reality yet move ahead to make your life more beneficial. Why me… is a primary question, which no one knows how come, yet we have to swallow it, make more beneficial decisions and move ahead. If you feel oppressed, ask you what you are doing that makes you feel this way. Do you have acquaintances or loved ones weighing you down? If so, then kick their behind down the road and make new
"No one may change you, but you" acquaintances. No one in life is worth you suffering continuously. You have the right to make changes, but you don't have the right to change others. When you begin to make changes to better your life, begin small. Rather than jumping the gun, take little steps to success. Too many times individuals attempt to change overnight. This only leads to defeat. When you're working to alter your life and habits make certain you look for support and feedback. You don't have to walk the road to success solo. Ask somebody you trust to support you and give you feedback when you need it. If you would like to change your old habits into fresh habits you can but you will have to
relinquish all your old habits. For some of us it is difficult to change, yet if you take steps to discover ways to change you will find favourable contemplations. Many individuals are raised lying to themselves as much as to other people. This happens as we’re plagued by a domain filled with beliefs, doctrine, theories, suspicion, guesses, and conclusions. You have to discover how to find your own truth before you are able to better your life. We may only offer you helpful ideas, but it takes you to examine fresh tactics that help you to grow. No one may change you, but you. When you are ready to do this, you are able to do this without anyones help. You are able to learn to build the internal gifts you have inside you. The qualities you have include, selfrespect, self-assurance, trust, self-awareness, and self motivation. each quality can build to better your life. You have to solve what works for you. For one thing, you need to determine what is making you do what you do and work out a way to do the right thing. So if it's the individuals you hang out with perhaps you should find somebody else to hang with. Perhaps individuals from a support group or a community group may help you discover ways to alter your habits. The 1st thing you have to do all the same, are stop lying to yourself and make whatever it is, right with you. You have to discover how to make great decisions by assessing the consequences. It's simpler than you think. For example, would you let a drunk person drive you home? If you would then you arrived at a bad decision that may cost your life, or have you put away in jail. If you are sober, why not drive the intoxicated individual home. Favourable contemplations include acquaintances and loved ones. If your loved ones are dragging you down, or your acquaintances are holding you back, you have to arrive at a choice. The choice might include removing these individuals from your life. If removing these individuals from your life is not an option then take steps to limit the opportunities they have to bring you down. To formulate new skills that guide you to
remove bad habits, attempt utilizing your conscious mind. Observance is the key to achievement. Observance includes selfawareness, Stand back and take a hard view of you. Don't persecute or self-judge, instead seek ways to make your life better.
Key 4: Truth
Mendacities are the beginning of our troubles. When we lie, we build upon lies, which lead to calamity. To live happy you have to learn to tell the truth. Occasionally the truth hurts, but ultimately you'll discover that the truth sets you free. Lies include procrastination. Quashing Procrastination When you dillydally, you're wasting time, burning energy, and failing to accomplish your goals. Procrastination is the action of putting matters off. The more you put matters off the more you drop behind. Additionally, procrastination makes an individual lazy, which isn't good for your health. To help you better your life, you need to quit lying to you and tell yourself that you are able to do it. If you take steps to do it now you'll see that your load gets lighter. Rediscovering the scholar within you: We set ourselves up for calamity. When we fail to see what we may achieve, we lie to us. We tell ourselves that it's too difficult. What is difficult about getting it done? The key to success is becoming captain over our own emotions. Emotions are mighty tools that either make us or break us. We learn effectively by taking charge of these emotions and distinguishing our inner joys and powers. Occasionally you'll discover areas about yourself that are distressing. Don’t let it fatigue you. Instead take action to remove this behaviour or way of thinking. When you learn, you are engaging in an energy-packed forward motion. You're involving self in experimentations that guide you to success. When you learn, you gain or build skills. You find you and what you want. You might run into a pothole some place down the road, but ultimately, you'll reach success. Lies are the path to nowhere. When you state, I know it all, you're stating I don't have the
"success is becoming captain over our emotions." energy to learn. You are lying, as we learn something every day we live. If you want to live happier, quit lying and state, I am ambitious about learning a fresh subject, skill, experience, and so forth today. Utilize your life challenges and make them your best acquaintance by learning from these challenges. Tossing up fresh thoughts is the key to opening up doorways. If you learn to toss up fresh thoughts, you'll discover internal abilities, self, and more. Discover resources: Resources are capital gain. When you turn up resources and utilize them, you are taking action to better your life. You are able to discover resources online, at your local library, at schools, colleges and more. To live happier you need to ask yourself questions: What do I wish to achieve in my life? How do I mean to achieve what I wish? What are the matters I may do to better my personal life? How may I learn the secrets to living with success? What tested items do I have that will pathfinder me to success? What may I learn about me and how do I get moving? How may rehearsing critical thinking assist me? How may learning my style help better my life? Once you accumulate your questions, toss up fresh thoughts to discover your answers. Most of us have the solutions inside us, yet most fail to discover these answers.
Key 5: Use Your Brain Utilizing your brain to improve life is a good start to achieving. When you utilize your brain, you set out to acquire qualities that guide you in the right direction. To utilize your brain and better your life think about: Commitments: Talent: Priorities: Failure. We all bear commitments. Commitments are a part of life. When you have commitments, you move into promises that you'll get something done. Begin making commitments to yourself. I commit to alter habits that impede me from accomplishing my goals, or bettering my life. Evaluate your talents to see how you are able to use them to better your life. While you're h evaluating your talents, look for fresh skills. Reach deep within you, accept the irritations, fears, or things you don't like, look past them and discover fresh skills. Do you have your priorities correct? Do you have all your plans in position? Reassess your plans to make certain that you're on the correct path to better your life. If you notice areas you are able to better, don’t be afraid to take action. Taking action is the best step you'll take in anything you do that helps to better your life. How do you consider failure? Failure inverted is accomplishment. Failure is basic and happens to all of us every day. Failure helps us to discover how to evolve and grow into a better individual. If you sit around stressing failure, then you are heading nowhere fast. Failure is a component of life. You have failure around you, in you, and in your time to come. Learn from your failures, swallow your blame and move to make matters better for you. Learn to say no. Individuals hear the word no and dread it. No isn't a rejection; rather no is a positive action you take to spare your time to come. When you state no I'm not going to the bar, you're stating I've better things to do than consume my time in a building satiated with drunks. Occasionally you have to tell somebody you love no. For example, you might have to tell your mate no when he or she asks you to watch TV when you know you have to study. Don’t let your mate hold you
back. It is okay to state no. Rules: We all abide by rules. Rules are a part of life, occasionally, the rules are difficult to digest. You have to learn to open your passageway and digest them anyhow unless you're willing to rise and protest in a positive way. Individuals sounding off about rules they don’t like and not taking action is wasting everyone’s time. You've the might, yet it takes you to utilize that might. Trial rides: Life is filled with trial rides. when we walk out our door we are on a trial ride. Daily, we have great trials and bad trials. How do you deal with trials? If you're willing to take chances in life, you can handle any trial. On the other hand, if you dread changes, then you'll need to discover a way to deal with the trials in life. You've many choices in life. Occasionally you'll pick out bad options, but when you make errors, don’t dwell on them, rather pull out your resources to see how you may have done things differently and keep this in mind next time. To better your life you have to think
about the whole pie. You have to go over your liability, behaviours, actions, emotional reactions, and overall standard of life. Once you go over the details, you will find it easier to move ahead and make the essential changes To get moving. Start with a checklist. What are your behaviours? Do you engage in activities that lead toward damaging outcomes? Once you put down your behaviours consider the details. If you engage in actions that lead toward damaging outcomes, the likelyhood is you're not viewing the whole pie. Instead you might act before you speak or do something. What you need to do is to think about outcomes before you speak or act. Daily there is some sort of an issue that has to be thought out and decided on. What are some things that you are able to do to help? Think out the issue before you make a decision. You will make healthier decisions by viewing the total picture. If the issue is too huge for you to handle solo, ask for help. Talk with acquaintances, loved ones, or experts..
"If you're willing to take chances in life, you can handle any trial."

Sending Clients
s d r a C s a m t s i r Ch Sending your clients a Christmas card or gift is a great way to let your clients know they are important to you and remind past clients of who you are. To ensure your Christmas cards help further your client relationships we've put together this simple guide. Who do you send Christmas cards to? Anyone you have a direct, business relationship with should be on your list, as well as, clients both past and present. Don't think of it as just sending out Christmas cards, the purpose you want in mind is to connect further with those who can help with the growth of your business. What to write and how to send? When writing your business christmas cards, hand written and personally signed is always best. Write a short message to personalise and add warmth to the card. For example; 'Season's greetings Jane, I hope 2017 brings you the best year yet for your life and business' Your company information should go below your signature. Use a company stamp or sticker, for convenience,if you have them, otherwise you can print your business name. Handwrite envelopes and
address the recipient using their title 'Mrs Jane Doe' Choosing your clients christmas card. Only ever send GOOD quality cards. The quality of the card will reflect on you and your business. If the card looks cheap, then the message is you don't really care about your client or the quality of what you provide. Buy the best you can afford. If you are a crafter, artist or particularly talented then handmade could be an option, if not then don't go there. Not only are handmade cards time consuming, if they aren't of the highest quality most
recipients will just think your being cheap. Avoid humorous cards, what some may find hilarious others will most certainly find distasteful. Stick with simple, traditional themes and messages. Be aware of your clients religious beliefs. If you are unsure then it's always best to send a 'Season's Greetings' card as opposed to 'Merry Christmas'. If you find that time has gotten away from you and the Christmas deadline is looming or has past, then consider sending a 'Happy New Year' card instead.
