Are Creativity & Cashflow Connected? - By Lisa Murray

My dear friend and coaching client Wendy Mulder launched her new book ‘Learning From Grief’ today with great pizzazz and insight. I was truly honoured that Wendy chose me to MC this momentous occasion.

Not only did I have a great time… not only was it a heartfelt privilege to promote Wendy’s phenomenal skills in this area… not only did I meet some amazing people who are following their bliss in life… I learned something today that will change my life, and quite possibly yours as well! Here it is…

None of us is as small, as insignificant, as invisible or as inept as we pretend to ourselves that we are.

The flip side of this is that we all have far more influence over those around us than we are willing to recognize – me included!! I discovered this when I realized that whilst I knew hardly anyone in the room, there were plenty of people who felt they ‘knew’ me – initially through Wendy sharing what we have contributed and generated together in bringing her book to life, and also through my revive business coaching ezine.

One lady told me how much she enjoys the ezine and that she had shared the latest issue with friends. This small piece of feedback took me by surprise because, until that moment, I had never actually acknowledged just how much influence such a simple tool could have.

Every time we offer something of ourselves to others, we can influence their life for better, for bliss or for worse… which one will you choose today? And will you choose to stand up and be the real you – the one that other people see as phenomenal… the one that others look up to…. the one that inspires others and creates more possibilities for them? Will you?

Because that’s what being a business owner really offers you… the possibility of making a contribution and a difference that matters... there are people out there who are looking for what you offer - what would it take to gift to them the specialness you offer but never actually recognise? Whether you see it or not… you have influence in places you never imagined. You may not think you are ready for world domination… but the world is ready for you! What are you waiting for??? Start a ripple effect...
