In order to find out where you want to go, you must first find out where you are. It’s like when someone is lost and they call to get directions. In order for them to be directed on where to go, they must first find out where they are.
For example, personally I am recommitting to my vibrant health and releasing some extra weight I’ve “attracted” for the the past two years. I was gauging my results from how I was feeling and how my clothes fit. I was consciously avoiding the scale.
I don’t believe in having my scale rule my life and I admire some health mentors who have thrown out their scale because they are so in tune with their bodies that they don’t need to even look at the numbers.
Let’s be honest. I’m not there yet. So I did a brave thing and I stepped on the scale. When I saw the number I was immediately clear of where I’m at and where I get to go on this weight release and vibrant health journey. It propelled me into action because it wasn’t as easy to justify the current results I was creating. Taking ownership of where I am at empowered me to create my desired results.
The same goes for owning the numbers in your business. When you look at the bottom line in your business there is no more justifying or “waiting” for things to improve by themselves. Looking at the numbers is the only way to know where to cut back, add more resources or maintain.
Now here is the tricky part for many entrepreneurs. We are often right-brained, visionary folks who cringe at the thought of bookkeeping, filing and financial projections. Here is the good news: When we stop trying to do everything ourselves, we outsource what we don’t want. There is always a win/win. There is someone who loves to do what you hate to do.
When you educate ourselves on the numbers then you are empowered to find the perfect solutions and people to assist you in building the financial foundation of your business.
So whether it’s looking at the numbers on the scale or the numbers in your business, just bite the bullet and do it. It’s freeing and absolutely necessary for you to build your dreams. Without knowing where you are, it’s impossible to find a new direction to get you where you want to go.

If you are an busy mom, women-preneur or executive, ask yourself when you really gave yourself permission to just BE and receive some pampering. When was the last time you took a bath or spent even a few quiet minutes listening to your soul?
I have recently experienced some cool shifts in my life and business and it’s from the most simple thing ever. I’m taking time to pamper and take care of myself and I “just say no” to new projects that don’t support my vision. This is HUGE for me. When I do this, my mind opens up to new possibilities and I create the space to receive the things I’m looking for. When before my mind was so full there was literally “NO ROOM at the inn.”
Plus, I’ve noticed that when I take time for self care, it’s a sign to the universe and everyone around me that I honor who I am and I’m deserving to receive.
Here are a couple of my favorite pamper pass-times that have assisted me on creating new serenity in my life.
~~ Serenity Facial by the lovely Aleca McKenna-Yates ~~
I have received the best facial of my life from Aleca. She has an fabulous spa space in her home in South Jordan and she has an energy that totally honors and pampers you will peace and tranquility. I left her space in complete serenity.
She is offering my networks a “Serenity Facial” for $50 (regularly $65). Treat yourself to this experience before the busy holiday season starts. OR you can get a gift certificate to use later in the holidays or to gift to a fabulous woman in your life. For the first five people who use this special offer, you also receive a free pair of hand-crafted semi-precious stone pair of earrings as a gift.
Email her at alecamckenna@gmail.com to book your appointment or buy your gift certificate.
~~ Breathing ~~
When is the last time you consciously inhaled and exhaled five deep breaths? Right now, are you breathing shallow or deep breaths? Breathing oxygenates the body and brain and can energize you. Try this before going to the caffeine if you want some natural energy. And it opens up the mind to receive new insights.
~~ Bath with peppermint oil and Epsom or sea salt ~~
If you work on the computer a lot like I do, you probably experience tight shoulders, neck and back. When there is tense or stuck energy in your body, it can be hard to receive inspiration and feel motivated to take action when inspiration hits. If you want a little extra energy boost, place a piece of rose quartz (my favorite) in the water too with a few drops of peppermint oil.

This is my favorite salon in the area. Check out their Minx toes (trust me) http://www.minxnails.com/. Their full menu of services will pamper you in many ways. The owner Rhonda is incredible. When you feel and look fabulous you are ready to take on the world in a whole new way!
