Enough said…
Dear Suzanne,

Are you willing to have fun?
Randy Pausch died. He was the professor that gave “The Last Lecture” . Below is a part of that lecture:
“I mean I don’t know how to not have fun. I’m dying and I’m having fun. And I’m going to keep having fun every day I have left. Because there’s no other way to play it,” he said in his Carnegie Mellon lecture. “You just have to decide if you’re a Tigger or an Eeyore. I think I’m clear where I stand on the great Tigger/Eeyore debate. Never lose the childlike wonder. It’s just too important. It’s what drives us.”
Think back to the last time you really had fun. I mean bent over laughing so hard it hurt, smiled for an hour straight, or cried from shear joy. He would want us to learn from his journey and from his life. I suggest you immediately go find some fun.
This news just nailed a decision for me…I am booking fisrt class tickets to Napa Valley.
To pure crazy wild doubled over can’t stop blissful magical joy!
Your coach,
Suzanne
It works!
Just believe…today I said- I will only focus on what I want to have, achieve, be, or do…. I WILL NOT FOCUS on the how. That’s what gets us all confused and worried.
So, I said Dear God just keep reassuring me…I might need it and I just opened my fortune cookie from lunch and it said…
“You will be unusually successful in business!”
I love God. He is really cool.
I didn’t know I’d get emotional
I have been hiding out in my basement. Seriously. OK, well my basement is my office. For the last few months I have been working on my “heart” project. What I know I was meant to do. I got to roll the new system out at the ADD conference in Minneapolis and it was an extraordinary experience.
The room was packed with therapists, coaches, nutritionists, consultants, lawyers…all types of client based business owners that make a difference in people’s lives. My new system www.helpmorepeople.com is my gift. It is a paint by numbers system to build a business that helps more people and makes more money.
I knew it was a great system and I felt extremely in tune with the message, but the reaction was a surprise. I didn’t get to eay my breakfast the next morning in the convention hall for talking to people and answering questions. Someone said this was the answer she had been looking for over the last two years. Phew….
I got really emotional. It all made sense for me after this weekend- what I was meant to do, who I was meant to serve, and why everything has happened in my life up until this point. I cant wait to keep working on it and keeping helping more people.
Shalom,
Suzanne

The countdown!
4 more days to my Maine vacation…..
lobster, biking, reading, doing nothing- YAH! Hmmmm- here is a major decision:
First meal- lobster roll or crab roll?
Have you used your vacation days yet? Do you have a plan? Did you use them wisely? Write down three things you would like to do on a vacation over the next three years…post them on your desk! Believe them to already be in the process of happening……
Pass the butter,
Suzanne

Suzanne
When in doubt…..
Whether you are building a business or building a life there are times when we just don’t know what to do next. I am working on projects, personal, plans, and performance…it can be a little overwhelming at times. I thought you might feel the same. When I don’t know which move to make or step to take I go to my WHEN IN DOUBT space. I thought I would do a little WHEN IN DOUBT SERIES for you, so you can see how I keep going, breathe, take a break, take a leap.
Series 1: I know I am onto something big with the new program I am creating and sometimes I get frustrated with the mechanics and the “how” this will happen. It feels ominous. So, when in doubt…..
I DREAM……. Once this plan is in place and running and working I will transition from the job I have in the theatre indusrty and live for a month in Key West. Fun, right? Well a girl has to have a place to live. So, yesterday I surfed the web on real estate sites and started making a list of my favorite digs for rent. That got me really motivated! When in doubt- DREAM!
(Maybe I’ll let my clients and subscribers pick the place)
Pina colada please,
Suzanne
Authenticity sticks!
Oh, the poor thing. It kept falling to the floor. I triend again…fell to the floor. Then it tore. Then it had no stckie left at all………..
I was laying out the big new project I am working on and decided to do it with post it notes on an empty wall and I was really in a flow- my idea was working…it was helping me focus! EXCEPT……. the post it notes weren’t sticking and I was cussing. Finally, I walked over to the package to check out the problem- did I make the wrong purchase? And there I saw it. It was all clear. I had not bought post it notes I had bought Staples generic brand of post it notes. Poor thing- they were trying to be post it notes, but they weren’t. They couldn’t.
What are you trying to be? Is it working? Authenticity sticks and it’s easier. Just be you. There will be no one better at it.
Ain’t nothin like the real thing baby,
Suzanne
I KNOW!
Do you?
I was at a David Neagle seminar this weekend www.davidneagle.com and he described what we know and what we think we know very well…….
If you read something, listen to someone, experience something and you keep saying or thinking “I know!” Well, you probably don’t and not only that……you have closed yourself off from being open to the idea, the concept, the new belief.
Try not knowing. Be open. Grow.
Fascinating,
Suzanne
