The Power of Intention and of declaration is key

Guest post by: Malti Bhojwani

Article Overview: I personally experienced it again in such a powerful way. I was committed and I declared that I would be here, friends around me could not believe how I was going to be able to do it, with my injury, but now we also know that I was holding-off, "postponing" a severe sore-throat too, for AFTER the presentation. When you really want to do something, and you decide that you will, you will!

The Power of Intention and of declaration is key

When I just moved to India early this year, you may have noticed that I went on a mission to make life-coaching a household term in India and I did everything I could to get my name and our work out. I met with presidents and leaders of networking groups, spoke to countless editors and journalists of local magazines and newspapers, I wrote a lot and I networked a lot. I must have given out at least 1000 of my cards in the last few months.

The very old and established women's group Indus, invited me to present to the group on Tuesday the 16th of November. This date was set back in August and at that point I did not know where I would be on the 16th of November. As you readers may or may not know, I have been a little bit of a traveler these days. In fact now I am even considering amove to Dubai for residence.

Anyway, I declared and I committed to being in Mumbai for this wonderful privelege and the invitation was sent out to all the members, by post in print. (This is not a very email-friendly group of women).

On impulse, we decided to spend Diwali (5th Nov) in London, so off I went, scheduled to return to work and this talk way before time. Unfortunately, I had a bad fall in London and injured my tail bone, that kept me in London a few extra days, then all flights were fully booked. I could not take economy as I had to be able to lie flat for the duration of the flight because of my injury.

To cut the story short, I got on a flight on the night of the 15th, arrived in Mumbai early 16th, and presented for over an hour passionately and completely from the heart to this wonderful group of very responsive women and then right after that,

I lost my voice.

Completely!

I have no voice.

I tried to re-trace my steps and I unpacked my luggage finally, but still no voice...and here I am typing this note and still no voice. So it's a sever pharyngitis or laryngitis. In other words- a very sore throat and I can't talk. I can't even whisper. I have to type/sms/bbm/fb to communicate. I have had to cancel on all my client calls this week and I can't answer my phone.

Sucks!!! :)

But.....here's the part you've been waiting for.

I am so so grateful 1) for my voice, in fact it's quite a nice voice and I miss it. (I don't think I have ever been grateful for my voice, sometimes it takes losing something (hopefully just for a while) to realise how thankful we are that we have it :)

2) that I only lost it AFTER the presentation

3) that so many people showed up to listen to me

4) that I made it back to Mumbai in one piece despite the injury.

I was committed and I declared that I would be here, friends around me could not believe how I was going to be able to do it, with my injury, but now we also know that I was holding-off, "postponing" a severe sore-throat too, for AFTER the presentation..when you really want to do something, and you decide that you will, you will!

My quote illustrated "Once you decide to take the first step towards your success, the Universe magically rearranges everything to make it all start happening for you. Your journey will have already begun."

Thank you for listening.

Women Entrepreneur Tips - Thank you LeoOliveros, I found #4 particularly true in my case: 4. The Enterprise Must Include the Power of Power Networks. As a conductor of your own enterprise, you can not see yourself as a one-woman-show. You must choose to utilize the power people in your life, by asking for help when you need it, and effectively delegating in order to capitalize on your strengths and that of your power network. When certain experts are not represented in your power network, you must actively seek advisors or mentors and develop a team of specialists, so the benefits are received by everyone involved in the power network - the true Power of Power Networks.
Success Strategies - How to get the results you want now? Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are: The Power of Choice Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this. The Power of Focus The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives. The Power of Commitment This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community.

The Power of Ten - Do you want to save money and time? Make the most of your marketing efforts? The Power of Ten™ is about taking the concepts of repurposing and leveraging “to the max”. It allows you to innovate and discover new possibilities for any marketing you already have in place. Here’s how it works: Make a list of the most recent 10 marketing items you’ve created or paid to have created. If you don’t have any materials, you can simply list the pieces you plan on creating. Now pick one. It could be an article, ad, poster, anything you have used recently as a marketing tool. Take a fresh look at it. Brainstorm and free write until you find at least 10 different ways to use that piece. You can do this with as many pieces as you want, but for now start with just one. It’s amazing how much time, effort and money you can save using The Power of Ten™. Below is an example using The Power of Ten™ with this very article. Even a very short piece, such as this, can benefit from The Power of Ten™. Here are some ways I can use this tip: 1) It’s part of a new marketing program I’m creating that may be called Marketing Full Circle. 2) It’s on my blog. 3) I can tweet it (knowing that it will show up on LinkedIn and many other sites which display tweets). 4) I can go over to LinkedIn and post it to a group. 5) I can it to my ezine subscribers. 6) I will send it to my clients. 7) If it is a longer article, I can try submitting it to an Article Bank, or two, or three. It started out as part of an answer on Focus.com 9) Eventually it will be part of an eBook on marketing tips. 10) I mention the concept often at speaking engagements. (c)2010 Elevating Your Business What would you add to the list? How about your own? Give it a try and comment below.
Wills, Power of Attorneys personal, bank, health - These four items are important even if you don't have a business. You don't have to have a Will because the law has procedures that are in place just incase someone dies without a Will. It is call dieing intestate. However, it can be an expensive process for your beneficiaries and your estate may not go to who you want it to go to. A Will - helps you set up where you want your assets to go to and who they go to. They set out your wishes for the business as well. In Ontario, you do not have to have a Will prepared by a lawyer but sometimes it is in your best interest to do so. There is a lot of info on the internet and kits that are available but they key to this are the witnesses to your signature. You may want to write it yourself and then have a lawyer witness the signing of the Will. If you handwrite you’re Will then you don't need to have it witnessed. But the entire document must be in your handwriting no typing allowed. The Power of Attorneys - Personal or Health Personal - This gives someone consent to act on your behalf if you can't due to physical or mental disabilities. The Power of Attorney goes into effect only when you are incapacitated or you authorize it. So it can be signed and ready to be used but only takes effect when you are ready to use it. You don't need a lawyer to prepare these - there are kits on the internet, there are kits that the government have where you can fill in the blanks. But if you have an extensive estate I would take it to the lawyer because their could be other issues that need to be dealt with. Health – This Power of Attorney outlines what you want to happen in case of medical emergency, for example, do you want to be revived if there is no hope of recovery, is the most common reason, maybe the type of treatment that you want to receive for the particular illness you have. This Power of Attorney protects your health rights when you can't speak for yourself and it gives someone else the right to speak for you. In the Power of Attorney you would outline your request and designate someone to carry them out. Bank - This one designates someone to look after your finances if you aren't able to do them. The banks have special procedures and these forms are completed at the bank. So if you became ill then your designated person can take care of your finances until you are ready to resume doing them. The Power of Attorneys and the Wills are legal documents and they can be revoked or changed at any time. If your estate is very large then I would suggest that you have a lawyer prepare these documents to protect your interest. Again, the law does not have the same rules as a married spouse so this would protect the surviving partner in a common-law relationship. I realize that most of the subjects that are discussed on this site are concerning growing your business but I deal with the hidden aspect of the business as well and these could affect your business as much as if you can't find that next client. Happy and Prosperous New Year Everyone
