30 Positive Affirmations for Female Entrepreneur
If you are aspiring to be a successful female entrepreneur, this article is specially written for you.
It applies if you are a self-employed professional such as a life coach, energy healer, a network marketing professional, financial services provider or a real estate agent and you are hoping to create a thriving business consciously.
According to stats published by small biz trends (refer to reference below), 34 percent of female entrepreneurs say that they are struggling while 20% of entrepreneurs without a mentor were no longer in business after a year. Would you like to ensure that you do not belong to any of these groups?
As a business owner myself, I can say this for sure: mindset is key. It accounts for whether or not you thrive against all odds or you give up. It also accounts for whether or not you launch your business idea or you shelf it in your drawer. Finally, it determines whether or not you will do what it takes to achieve your next breakthrough.
A negative mindset is going to sabotage your success as a new or aspiring entrepreneur. The voice inside your head can destroy you about “being a failure” or “not good enough”, resulting in a depressed state of mind. If your mindset is rooted in fear and limiting beliefs, you will definitely need to work on overcoming them. The great news is that it is possible to do so.
Lessons from the Chinese Bamboo Tree
Are you feeling impatient or dejected over the lack of any evidence of success?
Would the following situation be what you are currently experiencing?…You’ve put in the hard work with blood, sweat and tears and you’d like to see some “proof” of result.

There is nothing or little feedback to indicate that you are moving in the right direction or that the Universe has been paying attention to your prayers.
If so, allow me to introduce to you lessons from the Chinese Bamboo Tree.
The parable is one of my favorites. It offers important lessons on faith, perseverance and patience. It’s one that I like to remind myself when I am still in the building or foundational phase of a venture or project.Continue reading
How To Multiply Your Energy for Powerful Manifestation
How would you like to be able to multiply your energy for powerful manifestation to take place?
For manifestations to occur, there are two essential factors: pure intention and focused attention.
Intention is what directs potentiality, while attention is the intensity of this intention. As intention comes from thought, and thought is energy, then it goes to show that the more energy in your attention, more your intentions will manifest. If you find yourself getting stuck in your manifestations, then these could be two factors you need to look into.
111 Ideas For Your Bucket List
What is a Bucket List?
A Bucket List is a list of items that you would like to accomplish before you “kick the bucket”. The term has been made popular by the 2008 comedy-drama movie, The Bucket List. In the show, two terminally ill men go on a road trip with a wish list of things to do before they die. The movie was beautifully played by two Academy Award winners, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
Essentially, the message you need to heed is this: do the things you have always wanted to do before it is too late. You wouldn’t want to wait till you are knocking at death’s door before you start to realize how fast life has been passing you by. Should this be the case, your final moment may well be one of regret on “what may have been” instead of a sense of contentment over “what has been”. You mull over, “if only I have lived life with a little more freedom, laughed a little more and loved a little more”.
What is True Financial Freedom? An Integrated Perspective
What is financial freedom?
Is this what financial freedom mean to you…
A beach lifestyle where you do not have to work and yet the cash register go ka-ching?
A jet-setting lifestyle while your trading portfolio generates income with the click of a button?
A real estate plan that would generate passive income for you while you play golf on the weekdays and have enough time for your family?
I am not surprised if you are already being sold such dreams by marketing professionals or sales advertisements with a ticket like the picture below….
Now, who wouldn’t like the idea of firing their boss and creating a lifestyle of their dreams?

I enjoy learning from mindfulness quotes by meditation teachers. One such teacher is Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. He is a poet and peace activist, revered around the world for his powerful teachings on mindfulness and peace. I have his books and also attended his talk when he came to Singapore some years ago.
What I find appealing is the simplicity of his teachings. He draws on nature to impart his insights, for instance. While quotes do not usually comprise of a lot of words, what he says is enough for us to reflect upon. They offer amazing life lessons.
The following are some of my favourite mindfulness quotes and in no particular order by him…

How to Love and Accept Yourself Even if You Feel Ugly
You may find it hard to love and accept yourself if you believe and feel that you are ugly. Hate to look at yourself in the mirror? Have challenges with attracting a soul mate or your dream job because you think that your looks is in the way?
Read on to find out how you can love and accept yourself anyway. I am updating this post with more tips as I am discovering that this is an issue that afflicts a number of the clients I have been working with.
Through this post, I hope to stress the importance of self-love despite having an appearance that you may perceive as “flawed”. When you have a negative perception about yourself, your self-confidence comes down. This ultimately affects your ability to achieve your highest potential and also with manifesting what you want in life.
In fact, you could be aware that how you look to yourself matters more than what other people are saying. Whether or not you are truly “ugly” can be an issue that is perceived or real. Some women can sweat over a mole or having wrinkle lines. Others may have features that could be deemed ugly by society’s standards. Whatever the case may be, you face difficulties with getting past your looks, no matter how others may assure you.

How to Free Yourself from Body Image Issues
Have you ever wondered why you may continue to have body image issues, in spite of consciously knowing that you need to love yourself?
Body image is how you see yourself when you look in the mirror or when you picture yourself in your mind. It is what you think and feel about your physical body. Many of us internalize messages during our childhood. These messages can lead to either positive or negative body image. Having a healthy body image is an important part for practising self-love.
While most of us do not suffer from eating disorders caused by poor body image issues, we have the tendency to be overly critical in how we look. Chances are, if you are like the vast majority, you’d find yourself constantly thinking “I am flawed” or I don’t look good enough”. Thoughts like these can have a negative impact on self-confidence and your ability to shine!
There was a day when I was rudely awakened to why it could be so challenging for women to stop beating themselves up over their appearance. It happened when I was reading an article about Lady Gaga who encouraged thousands to embrace their bodies after hitting back at critics who called her fat. The article was in the pull-out Friday segment of our main newspaper. The writer then went on to rounding up 5 celebrity women who were proud of their curves.
How to Create Aura Protection with Essential Oils
One excellent way of creating aura protection is with the use of essential oils.
If you are naturally energy sensitive or are an empath, I suggest that you create aura protection. Creating aura protection ensures that you do not pick up negative energies from others. You can create aura protection very easily with applying energy shields using essential oils.
As someone who facilitates transformation work for others, I find it necessary to apply aura protection. Aura protection helps me to create a personal boundary. It allows me to practice empathy without getting easily attached to any client’s issues.
Essential oils are vibrational tools. They are nature’s living energy. They have the ability to help us restore our energy system. Plants use essential oils to protect themselves against harsh environmental conditions as well as invaders.When we use essential oils, we are leveraging on their protective and restorative attributes.
Essential oils are extracts from various parts of the plants. They are obtained through steam distillation. As not essential oils are the same, only use pure-grade ones that have high energy vibrations for aura protection.
