Acheiving Work-Life Balance….From Starr Hall, Social Media Strategist & Woman Entrepreneur!

Today I spent the day committed to my continued learning and growth as an entrepreneur, at the 2010 Growth Conference 2.0 hosted by Entrepreneur Magazine (@EntMagazine)! I am SO pumped for 2010 and to expand and develop different aspects of my own business, as well as, share all of my new resources with YOU to help you grow into your success too!

Over the next few days (and months), I will compile what I have learned and post some of the BEST of what I was exposed to. But first, enjoy this quick video in the meantime! I had the pleasure of hearing Starr Hall, a successful entrepreneur, publicist, speaker, social media strategist and positive role model! In the video below, she shared with me (and with all of you) one of her best tips on how to balance work, entrepreneurship with a full life, and still having time for you and the things that you enjoy! If you have tips too, or would like to share a thought, leave your comments below this post! Have a wonderful night and I will elaborate on all of these great topics in the next few days!

7 Simple Steps to a Happier and More Successful YOU!

Life is busy – and filled with so many mixed messages on a daily basis. Some of us are juggling ten different spinning plates in our lives at one time. How we keep them all going? A mystery I am still trying to uncover. And as a part of these hectic lifestyles we’ve created, we have an even bigger appetite for what we want out of this thing called life. And that’s great! But on a day to day basis some of us feel bogged down by negativity in the news, or discouraged to truly get out their and make our dreams a reality due to a limit of time, energy, money or resources. And, to me, that’s not okay! There is NO EXCUSE (not time, not money, not ANYTHING) that should be stopping you from FEELING GREAT and LIVING GREAT every single day of the year.

Today, I’m going to give you a couple of simple tips that help a young-entrepreneur/life-coach/social-media-strategist/public-relations-and-business-development-specialist/daughter/girlfriend/mentor/friend/and-so-fourth, like myself stay positive, get ahead, feel happy, fulfilled, motivated, energized, excited and inspired on a daily basis!

How to Capitalize on 2009 to Create the Year of Your Life!

The year 2009 has come and gone, and it feels like the year slipped right between my fingers (you too?)! As each day passes, I try to remember to savor each new moment and live in the present. I have no trouble remembering how fast life truly passes us by and how important it is to be gracious for each passing second. But living in the present, and savoring the moments, takes practice and effort (and that’s okay!).

Good morning (afternoon, or night), today is the third Monday of the New Year (2010!) and you’ve had time to settle in, so let’s cut to the chase. In order to help you reflect upon 2009 and truly savor the wins, successes, and wonderful gifts of 2009, I’ve provided you with a short exercise. As you reflect, make sure to BE HONEST with yourself, and BE GENTLE with yourself. BE OBJECTIVE and look at yourself through the lens of the world. IT’S OKAY to be proud of yourself (YOU FREAKIN’ ROCK!) and you should be!

Let this exercise truly say farewell to the passing year, and bring new light, joy, hopes and aspirations to 2010. This is YOUR YEAR (Click Here to read more reasons why THIS IS YOUR YEAR, about some of my My New Year’s Resolutions and how to Reignite the Flame). Remember, you can simply copy/paste this into a Word Doc and print this exercise below or EMAIL ME at createyourgreatlife@gmail.com for the “pretty” PDF version and I will gladly send it your way!

How Much Do You Trust The Universe?

I’m sure by now if you are interested in health, wealth, love, and happiness, you’ve been inundated with articles, books and lectures about “the law of attraction (LOA).” While I am extremely passionate about the LOA, once you cut out all of the marketing fluff that is in the media, I am fascinated by the key concepts of positivity, negativity and attractiveness (your ability to attract what you intend).

Today, I have attached a WORKSHEET from Create Your Great Life, to this post. It is called “My Daily Assignment.” My challenge to you, it to DOWNLOAD 5 copies of this worksheet and fill out this worksheet for 5 consecutive days and observe the changes in yourself and your world.

The law of attraction can be a very powerful tool to aid you in living your great life. The key in all of this is to be as specific as possible, ACT with intention, affirm your commitments and ask of the universe. The universe is ON YOUR SIDE through all of this and is here to serve you, if you so choose. Remember to THINK positive thoughts, throw away the negative self talk and ONLY focus on the positives thing, and those that are working well in your life and your environment.

I wish you well through this exercise and don’t be shy! I am here to serve you, just like the universe. If you have any comments or questions about “My Daily Assignment” feel free to post them in comments below or email me createyourgreatlife@gmail.com or tweet me = @DeeLynn!

I look forward to the universe working with you on all aspects of life and bringing you health, happiness , joy and abundance! Cheers!
