Coach Karen

When I coach people, invariably the theme of being rich comes up.

For me being rich has so many angles to it: It is having enough money where I’m not wanting, I’m not feeling scarce about money. Also, being rich, is having amazing friends, family and pockets of happiness which I experience every day.

Being rich, for me, is ultimately freedom  in all areas of my life. I can do what I want, when I want.  It’s also the feeling of being cushioned by support, love, generosity around me.

I find the more I appreciate what I have, the richer I feel. And that mindset leads to opportunities financially and otherwise.

When I think of my life I feel really lucky and yes there are others financially richer than me but it’s not about them and comparing.

It’s about what matters most to me in business and life.

I’ve helped people to double their income or to pick out a figure and get that sum of money. I’ve also helped people achieve a healthy balance between work and life, find a partner, mend a relationship in trouble, find time for themselves and to double their confidence.

It didn’t come by magic. It involves, vision, dedication, resilience and effort. You need to get past all the no’s to get the yes’s that bring financial and personal gain. You need to have a clear vision of what you want – how else can you know when you have it or what to your aiming for.

I’ve pulled together the key steps to get Richness in your life. Here’s the 6 step plan I’d love to share with you.  These steps are based on my experience of helping tons of people get to richness, both financially and in thier outlook of life. In the comments box below, leave me a comment, I’d love to know how you get on with these steps.

6 Step Personalised Plan To Richness For You.

1. Imagine and then write down what being rich means to you. Think in terms of:

Family and friends

Career

Health and fitness

Romance

Fun, hobbies, socialising

Personal growth or Spiritually

Money

2. Look at the gaps and commit to one significant action to take you a step closer to your ideal.

3. Connect to what being Rich gives you in each for the areas. For example being rich in friends/family: gives me a sense of love and support. Career being rich is: Recognition, achievement, success,promotion.

4. Look at where you are already rich in your life. For example for me it’s having morning hugs with my children when they creep upstairs. Having an attitude that exercise is important, having amazing friends and family that support me no end.

5. Start a gratitude note. At the end of each day, write down three things you are grateful for. Look at that list again each morning.

6. Think about what and who inspires you. For example it could be landscapes, books, music, films or specific people. Make sure you are tapping into that resource daily; it could be a picture for example. This will give you the fuel and passion to stay on track and motivated.

I was having a challenging week last week, everything seemed to be throwing me a curve ball. I was really ill, lost my voice whilst delivering a coaching academy, youngest daughter caught chicken pox, my mum ill in hospital and found myself experiencing that feeling of overwhelm.

It got me thinking about what really makes me happy, what could I turn to give me a much needed lift which didn’t include chocolate – a whole other story.

It’s spending quality time with my children, doesn’t have to be hours and could be just 10 mins.

It’s exercising, the feeling like I’m burning calories and nothing else occupying my mind except the TV, whilst I’m on the treadmill.

Helping people grow, learn and achieve their goals.

The feeling of giving time to myself to sit down, read, watch tv, eat something delicious, walk outside in the sun. In general time to stop.

What I quickly realised is that having enough energy, allows me to do those things that make me happy instead of feeling drained of energy.

In my life that means, early nights, taking time out, eating well and exercising all of which allow me to recharge my batteries and give me sufficient energy to face challenges with ease and make time in the day for the things that make me happy.

When I feel that sense of overwhelm or drain of energy, I know something is out of balance and that I need to do something about it.

Here’s 4 Simple Steps To Happiness:

1. Make your list of what makes you happy. It could be two things, ten or more, doesn’t matter just make the list.
2. Then put in place the simple things that give you energy, allow you to recharge your batteries, for example, one early night a week, leaving work early or on time, half an hour exercising , walking, taking time out.
3.  Then commit to following your plan for two weeks and see what happens.
4. If you experience the energy drain or sense of overwhelm, something is out of balance. Look back to your list and take action to correct it.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this simple four step plan, please leave me a comment below.
