    The Life-Changing Creative Time Catcher 3-Week Tele-class:
    The Proven System to Increase Your Creative Productivity and Life Fulfillment

    The book is not ready yet but you keep asking me to teach you the truth about time, now. So here is Part One. The number one issue that you revealed in my reader survey was trying to find the time to work on your creative process or projects. In order to activate your creative success in life, you must leverage your individual power to capture time. We all have the same 24 hours a day to achieve what we want, yet some people are able to focus and commit to completion, while other people stay locked in fear, procrastination, or self-doubt. You don't need more gimmicks or clutter control suggestions, you need an overhaul of your thinking and your actions. This 3 week tele-class series will change your life, if you let it. You will learn how to:

    • Design a Creative Time Catcher Model that works for you
    • Subtract the unnecessary and irrelevant from your life, including negative people
    • Take responsibility for your life choices and priorties
    • Develop new habits and boundaries for your creative time and space
    • Enjoy your work with passion and focus
    If it's time to turn your creative inspirations into tangible forms, make your creative explorations into a priority in your life, or to launch a new product/service for your business, this tele-class series will help you to stop your excuses and give you the tools to make it happen. It's not about having more money, a more understanding family, or a more flexible lifestyle. It's about changing your relationship with time, designing a customized action plan that reflects your personality, and utilizing time recovery and preservation strategies. Read on...


    Success Strategy #35: The Real Truth About the Time in your Life

    We are all busy in this world of over-stimulation and overwhelming demands. Yet, some people stay on target with their life and creative goals and some people do not. In the process of writing the Creative Time Catcher Program, I created a workshop exercise called "75 Excuses for Not Doing Your Creative Work" which helps you to tune into your individual dance with time-and the perception of not having enough time to do what you want. Here are a few common excuses:

    1. I fear that I'm not talented enough.
    2. I can't do anything if it doesn't pay off right away.
    3. If I spend time on myself and my passions, I am being selfish.
    4. I can't decide what I want.
    5. The people in my life are unsupportive.
    If none of these excuses resonate for you, I bet you have a long list of your own. I challenge you to make that list and see what beliefs or saboteurs are blocking you from having the life that you intend to.

    Whether you have any of the 5 excuses above or your own list, join us for the Creative Time Catcher Tele-class Series and shift out of the victim role into an empowered, proactive stance. You can learn to focus your energy on what truly matters to you. Sign up today and let's help you to turn things around-right now.

    This is a special program and may not be offered ever again in this format and at this special price. Reserve your space today. Limited to the first 50 people who sign up.


    Live in Boston: A new Creative Success Coaching Circle for Women in January

    Our current Circle which began in September is thriving and as always, I am amazed by the creative potential and daring of a motivated and supportive group of women. I feel so grateful to be able to do this transformative work. There will be a new Circle beginning in January and I am beginning interviews already. This 8-week powerful coaching group with Gail is limited to only 6 highly motivated women who are ready to blast through their resistance and complete a significant piece of creative work or a specific project. For more information and to set up a phone interview:


    Creative Acts and Resources: The Future Awaits
    megatrends

    My colleague, Patricia Aburdene, co-author of the famous Megatrends books, just released her new book Megatrends 2010: The Rise of Conscious Capitalism (Hampton Roads, 2005) where she writes that the focus on spirituality has become so pervasive that its impact on personal lives is now spreading to institutions. As Patricia says: "Social transformation happens only when there is a combination of economic necessity and new values. We are exactly at that point now in society. The accounting scandals, the tech bubble, the market crash are compelling capitalism to take a look at itself. But there must also be a positive sense of new options, and those exist in the form of rising interest in spirituality in business, the dynamic growth of socially responsible investing, shareholder activism, and the power of values-driven consumers in the marketplace." As a "future freak", I have always been a fan of Patricia's trend-setting wisdom and her new book inspires great hope and opportunities for innovation and personal and organizational harmony.
