2012 has rolled in with a lot of energy and a lot of new things! Since the beginning of the month I have done a lot of things ‘for the first time’. I have finished and published two new e-Books: The Yoga of Wisdom and Understanding, and Work Smarter Not Harder Lose Excess Fat Fast and Forever which can be downloaded from my home page at www.kayrice.com.
TOMORROW, January 31st at 9:00 pm I’ll be hosting my very first Webinar. Nutrition and how to Lose Excess Fat Forever will be the topic. I hope you will sign up and tune in. There are a limited number of spots on the Webinar so if you are interested you should register NOW by clicking on this link: http://wp.me/P1vmqs-8s .
Finally, on Tuesday February 21 I’ll be a guest on the Logical Soul Talk Radio Show hosted by Michael Craig of LogicalSoul.com. Oh yes, I almost forgot! I did a Keynote Speech last month, parts of it were recorded on video. You can see a short clip on the right of this blog post!
It may seem that suddenly things are happening at lightening speed and doors are opening! You may be asking, “What shifted?” It was just a VERY small shift and a commitment that got much of these things moving. I decided to sign up for a Free Self-Improvement Give Away. I committed to contributing 3 gifts that would add value to people’s lives and in return I would build my list of people interested in what I do and the services I offer.
Once committed, I had to Take Action and create my gifts. All the gifts were things that I already had in the pipe line, but I had been dragging my feet on completing. Now I had a deadline! I quickly discovered that one of the reasons that I had been dragging my feet was that each product required that I do a LOT of new things in order to get them ready for the program. Yes, I found myself a little overwhelmed with all these “brand new for the first time” things I had to figure out. So, what did I do? I asked for help.
Asking other people for help is not something that comes easily for me. However, I have learned that it is an essential quality for successful people to be able to do this. There is absolutely NO WAY you can do EVERYTHING all by yourself and do it well, especially on larger and more far reaching projects. I’ve learned that when I am stuck on the “How” to do something to change the letters of that word around and ask “Who” do I know that knows how to do this?
Guess what? When I asked for help, I received it! Suddenly I had surrounded myself with a TEAM of people that knew the things I did not know and they helped me get my gifts up and meet my deadlines! Yes, I still made some mistakes, but I have moved forward and learned quite a lot in January. The BEST part is that when I opened myself up to receive this help, I surrounded myself with some brilliant individuals and we discovered how to make our work sessions “win-win” for all of us! Don’t JUST be on the receiving side – look for what you have that is of value that you can add or help your TEAM with!
In addition to my projects above, I was a presenter at Body For An Active Lifestyle with Greg Spindler this past weekend. In addition to being a presenter, I learned a LOT about our body Form and Function! I was also in Ohio for 3 days doing Health Assessments and Wellness Coaching for a company I occasionally work for. It’s been a wild ride this month. I hope either through my new books, the FREE Webinar tomorrow evening, or one of my Yoga Classes you will find something of interest or value to you!
So the Success Strategies I used were: Commitment, Action, Ask, & Team! I also completely set aside all Fear that might have “taken me out” when faced with doing things for the first time – you know that fear of the unknown. When I set that aside, and Asked for Help and Accepted Support from those around me, things began moving forward fairly smoothly and at lightening speed!
By the way, my TEAM is more than just a few random friends who I called and asked for help. We created a Master Mind Team, and we support and help each other out! Win-Win-Win – and I think we all would agree that because we formed a Master Mind Team everyone of us has accomplished more and been more productive than we would have been on our own. I called together some individuals who had strengths and knowledge in my weak areas; I was able to contribute something of value for them where I have stronger skills. This way we all are benefiting!
So there you have it! Let me know how YOUR 2012 is going! Send me any of your comments, questions or feedback if there is something you would like to hear more about! In the meantime … I’m headed to the gym for a little workout. More about that later. Namaste’ my friends!
