Manifesting 101: Dare to Be Bold
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on January 15, 2009 - 6:51 am
“Well behaved women rarely make history.”
That’s one of my all-time favorite quotes. In fact, you might say, those are words I live by. By giving myself permission to blaze my own trail, be true to myself, and make bold decisions whenever necessary, I may have created my own recipe for success.
What’s your recipe for success? I’d like to give you an ingredient to add: Boldness.
That’s right. In 2009, I invite you to become bold.
Sounds scary? It’s not. Sound exciting? It is!
Becoming bold about the choices you make, the actions you take, and your general outlook on life, you greatly increase your chances of success. Why? Because only with great risk comes great rewards.
Let me put it another way. How has playing it safe worked for you? How has the following someone else’s rulebook affected your level of success – in your career, in love, in life, in spirit?
Chances are, it hasn’t. That’s why I invite you to become bold in 2009. It’s going to take some guts to get where you want to go. To manifest everything your heart’s desire, you’re going to have to take chances, embark on leaps of faith, and make great risks to reap great rewards.
Let me give you an example. If you’re really ready to rock your love life in 2009, are you going to keep doing what you’ve been doing in the past? Or are you going to get off your couch, put on come makeup, clothe yourself in a feel-good outfit, and present your best self to the world?
If you want career success, are you going to show up late for work, do the bare minimum, and expect that raise or promotion? No, you’re going to set goals, work hard, and have the best attitude possible.
Go ahead, embrace boldness in 2009. It will never steer you wrong.
Good luck and happy manifesting!
Manifesting 101: Become Goal Oriented
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on January 12, 2009 - 6:50 am
Be honest. Were you satisfied with your forward momentum in 2008? Did you accomplish, achieve, and experience all the success, happiness, and personal fulfillment you desired? If so, congratulations! You’re well on your way to your amazing future.
If not, don’t worry. 2009 may just be the year of you. To get you started on the right track, it’s important to become goal oriented. And that’s as simple as making a list of goals for the coming year.
What would you like to accomplish? Lose 10 pounds? Get back out in the world dating? Find someone special to share your life with? Get a better job or land that promotion? Take advantage of the sluggish housing market and buy your first home? The first step in manifesting whatever you desire in 2009 is to write it down. Go ahead, write your goals down. (Right now.)
The next step is to create an action plan. What are you going to do on a consistent basis to get where you want to? Write at lease five action steps for each goal. For example, if you want to buy your first home in 2009, your action plan might look like this:
1. Save for a down payment
2. Get preapproved for a loan
3. Hire a realtor
4. Start looking at properties
5. Make an offer
It really is as simple as that. Now that you have a concrete instruction manual for each of your goals, you now know what you need to be doing on a daily basis to achieve all that you desire in 2009.
Good luck and happy manifesting!
Speaking of Exes…
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on January 11, 2009 - 6:19 am
Now would be a good time to talk about YOUR ex and to assess your Ex Factor. Did you just break up? Has it been a few days, weeks, months? Are you and your ex still speaking? And more importantly, are you still sleeping together? Your answers to these questions are very important because they help us figure out where you are in the breakup timeline. According to the breakup timeline, the more time and distance you put between yourself and your ex, the better your chances are of healing your heart and moving on. Which is why the following rule is crucial to your recovery…
Breakup Rule #1: You cannot sleep with your ex.
Some of you may think this is a ridiculous rule. You may be so hurt, angry, or just plain over the relationship that you can’t possibly imagine sleeping with your ex. But as someone who’s been there, I know just how tempting it is to fall back into the arms of your ex. There’s momentary comfort there. Sex with your ex offers that false sense of security that everything’s the way it once was. But it’s not which is why you have to follow Breakup Rule #1. It’s the first rule I share with you because it’s crucial to your recovery. And I think it’s worth repeating…
You cannot move on from your Big Breakup while still sleeping with your ex. Just don’t do it!
Which leads me to the second rule of breakup recovery…
Breakup Rule #2: Not only can you not sleep with your ex after a breakup, but you should avoid any contact with him at all including calling, texting, emailing, checking his MySpace page, instant messaging him, driving by his house, showing up at his work, or leaving notes on his car. (Repeat after me — you cannot move on if you’re still holding on!)
IF you’re still sleeping with your ex (or maintaining any kind of contact with him), I want you to find the closest mirror, look into it, and ask yourself why. And then wait for a good answer. Maybe you’re holding out hope that the relationship isn’t really over. Or maybe you’re seeking comfort in the arms of someone you love. Or maybe, if you did the dumping, you’re trying to soften the blow of the breakup for your ex. (If so, stop it right now.) The harsh reality is that by sleeping with your ex or maintaining any kind of close connection with him immediately following the breakup, you’re only delaying your own happiness and making moving on impossible.
And if you’re NOT sleeping with your ex…
Look in the closest mirror and congratulate yourself on how well you’re handling your breakup. You are a total breakup recovery rock star!
Manifesting 101: Spend Time With a Guru
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on January 10, 2009 - 6:49 am
When was the last time you got up close and personal with someone you respect, admire, and would love to learn from? If it’s been years, ask yourself why. If your answer is never, take a look at the results that never has gotten you. Probably a mixed bag, yes?
As a coach, I understand the value of spending time with other coaches. People who inspire, motivate, and teach me. In 2008, I studied at the feet of some of the most incredible masters. People who have spent their life learning, growing, and teaching others. My life is so much richer thanks to being in the presence of these gifted teachers. Plus, my forward momentum catapulted me into new and amazing places in 2008 as a result.
Guess what I’ll be doing in 2009? Spending some more time with my gurus. Regardless of who motivates and inspires you, I invite you to spend some time in 2009 with your gurus. From a valued mentor to a personal success coach to a spiritual adviser, whatever guidance you think you may need this year, give yourself the gift of time with a guru. You’ll be amazed at how this continued commitment to yourself will catapult you to new levels of success and fulfillment.
Good luck and happy manifesting!

Manifesting 101: Enlist Expert Help
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on - 6:50 am
When you want to get in shape, you hire a personal trainer. When you want to learn a new language, you take a class. And when you’re looking to buy a home, you enlist the help of a realtor. Basically, you enlist the help of experts to get you the results you desire.
What other areas of your life could benefit from the help of an expert? Maybe it’s time to sit down with a financial planner in 2009 so you can finally map out that retirement savings plan. Maybe it’s time to take your car into the shop for that much-needed tune up. If it’s time for you to get serious about your personal success, i.e. in love, relationships, career, life in general, etc., it may be time for a success coach.
How do you find a personal success coach? The truth is, we’re everywhere. You just need to know where to look. Chances are, you already know of a coach you’d like to work with. You just haven’t made the commitment to yourself yet.
How’s that working for you?
Before I started working with a coach, I had mediocre success. I thought I was doing everything right. Was convinced I could do it on my own. But then I got to a place in my life where things just seemed harder than they needed to be. And I didn’t feel like I had the tools to get out of my own way.
A lot of times, that’s the biggest job of the coach. To help you get out of your own way.
If you think you might be standing in your own way, i.e. sabotaging your success, accepting less than you deserve, not getting the results you really want, 2009 may just be the year for you to enlist the help of a coach. Now, not everyone’s ready to do whatever it takes to get what they want. But if you’re ready to really rock your personal and professional life this year, then you’re ready to enlist the help of a coach.
Give yourself permission to commit to yourself and your fabulous feature by getting a coach in 2009. Regardless of who you look to for guidance, your level of success will skyrocket, thanks to the ongoing support and guidance of a trained professional. Feel free to email me @ Lisa@LisaSteadman.com if you’ve got questions about finding the perfect coach for you. I’d love to work with you, but I also have an amazing network of coaches I’d gladly refer you to as well.
Good luck and happy manifesting!
It’s over…now what?
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on January 5, 2009 - 6:59 am
Congratulations on your breakup.
Nobody ever says that, do they?
But they should.
Let me say it again.
Congratulations on your breakup!
See, I added an exclamation point this time because it really is BIG. All breakups are significant in some way because of what they ultimately teach us about ourselves. And The Big Breakup is especially significant. If you’re going through it then you know what I’m talking about. The relationship was big. The breakup was definitely big. The resulting pain is big. Maybe even the relief is big. And I’ve got news for you — the movin’ on is really B-I-G. Regardless of whether your most recent breakup was big or small (or somewhere in between), there’s plenty to learn from the experience. Now’s the time to realize that it’s not called a breakup because you’re breaking down. It’s called a breakup because you’re breaking UP with a relationship that’s no longer working, and moving ON to a life better suited for you. Even if you were the one who got broken up with, you now have the chance to move ONWARD and UPWARD. It won’t always be easy. After all, we’re talking about a breakup and that’s never easy. But don’t worry — it’s not all pain and anguish. Sure, breakups are painful but they’re also freeing and fabulous because they free us UP to be our most FABULOUS selves.
If you’re going through a breakup, you may think your life will never be the same again. I’ve got news for you — it won’t. But that’s fantastic! The truth is all breakups change us in some way. And the Big Breakup changes everything. Mine did and yours will, too. I’m not saying your breakup will cause you to make drastic and unnecessary changes to your life, but it will most likely make you look at your life in a new light. It will bring up the inevitable questions What do I want to do now? What really makes me happy? I think you’ll be surprised by the answers that come to you.
Today you may be feeling empowered and healthy about your breakup. Or you may be filled with doubt, despair, and confusion. Don’t worry. During your post-breakup recovery you’ll most likely feel like you’re on an emotional roller coaster. You’ll go back and forth between the two emotional extremes many times before you fully move on. That’s perfectly normal. Just ride it out. Trust that you will get through this and you’ll be stronger for doing so. Not only that — you WILL survive and even thrive without Mr. Ex. Regardless of how you’re feeling right now, you are not broken. Your heart may feel like it’s been shattered into a trillion tiny pieces but it’s still there. It’s still beating. It still loves you. It still believes in love. (It just needs a little time to heal first.)
You may be thinking nobody knows what you’re going through. That nobody knows how hard this is. I’m here to remind you it’s not true. I’m here to give you a big fat medal for just making it through the day. I’m also here to welcome you to the rest of your life. A life full of amazing adventures, should you choose them. You no longer have to settle for less than you deserve. Or put up with someone else’s unclaimed baggage.
I have a secret for you. There’s someone better suited for you out there. When the time is right, you can have the relationship you truly deserve – a happy, healthy, whole one. But you have to first give yourself permission to wake up, break up, and move on.
This is the point where I once again remind you…
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BREAKUP!!!
And I ask you to join me this time.
Say it loud, say it proud…
“CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR (MY) BREAKUP!!!â€
Didn’t that feel good?
Okay, you may be saying. That did feel kind of good. But now what?
I’ll tell you what now.
You are now ready to get down to the business of recovering from your Big Breakup. You’re going to soon know what other breakup survivors know — that this breakup is one of the best things that will ever happen to you. That one day in the not too distant future you’ll be minding your own business, actively involved in your amazing life, and it will hit you – I’m over him. And not only that, your next thought will be Thank God he got away!
It’s okay not to be there yet. It takes time. And we’ve got all the time in the world. After all, this is your life and nothing’s more important than getting you through this. Don’t think of your breakup as a breakdown. Think breaking UP. It’s time to break UP and move on. (Don’t worry — I’ll show you how!)
To kickstart your recovery, join me Thursday, January 22 at 6:30 P.M. Pacific for a free teleseminar on how you, too, can survive and thrive following your breakup. In the meantime, if you need coaching through this difficult time, email me at Lisa@LisaSteadman.com
Good luck and happy healing!
