| Since my
last newsletter, life has been jam packed with experiences
that range from the
absolutely fabulous to the downright
ugly! As I reflect and reminisce,
my perceptions of these experiences
clearly varies from the recollections of
others who were there. That brought me
to a Gordian Knot* of personal truth.
Can
truth be a blending of facts and
perceptions?
"Absolutely"
says the subject of this month's "Client
Spotlight" as we worked together to
develop her flagship program, "True
Lies," (detailed below). "Reality
is highly subjective," she
maintains, "The problem is, most of
us don't realize the extent to which we
mould and shape "facts" with our own
perceptions."
- Is a dry
lake still a lake once it is void of
water or is it an embryonic
salt pan?
- If I am as capable of
perceiving that "x" is the truth
as you are of seeing the truth as "y,"
how do we resolve our perceptual
differences?
- When my perceptions are as opposite
from yours as those held by the 9/11 hijackers
were from
their victims, what is truth?
To
free myself from this Knot,
I acknowledged that my truth is highly
personal and no one else needs to own or
agree with it. If following my truth
utilizes my strengths, enables me to
"be the change I wish to see in the
world" and in so doing - find
fulfillment - then I can simply accept
my
truth as "true for me."
So as
you look back over 2006 and think ahead
to 2007, look at your experiences
through your truths, not the truths of
others. Savour your successes and value
the lessons and gifts that your
challenges have delivered. If you feel
that you have been following a path
that's not your own, take the time to
discern your truths - then use
them as compass points - to set your
direction and guide your experiences.
And to your own self be true...
Warmly, |

*A Gordian
Knot is a metaphor for
an intractable problem, solved by a bold
stroke or action. |

Are you ready to put
an Authentic Personal Brand (APB) on your genius? An APB
distils "who you are" into an easily understood essence
that attracts the people and opportunities that are a
perfect fit for you!
Who needs a
personal brand? The short answer is; professionals,
employees and entrepreneurs who want to fulfil their
potential by leveraging their strengths and living from
their values. More precisely,
Miboso's APB clients are highly
intelligent, extremely well educated men and women in
their 40's and 50's who are so diversely talented, they
have difficulty finding their focus. Experienced,
accomplished and very successful in conventional terms,
they yearn to live life differently, more consciously and richly. They want to make a difference,
live their dreams, fulfill their purpose, and in so
doing, find meaning and satisfaction. |

"The
Small Group Program has aligned who I am with what I do. The
outcome is clarity.
I understand my target audience, I know in my core why I am the
perfect coach/yoga instructor for them and I know how to reach
them by 'just being me' which has fuelled
my confidence in a powerful way. It’s extraordinary."

MAGIC & DOMAIN REGISTRATION ALERT |

Kathy Hendershot-Hurd owns
the web development company,
Virtual Impax
and is the author of
the new (1Author) book,
Beyond the Niche: Essential Tools to
Create Marketing Messages that Deliver Results.
Since 1998, she has been creating marketing
magic for my clients' small business websites. So while Google
may have revealed the key to ranking better in their recent
patent application, Kathy shares the
real key to creating marketing
magic for your small business web site. Learn
more
Back
in August, Kathy issued an "alert" about GoDaddy.com. Bob Parson
had tried to take the company public but withdrew his
application after some of the information that was made public
showed that GoDaddy.com had yet to have positive cash flow - let
alone a profit.
At the time, she recommended
that if you used GoDaddy, you should switch registrars. If you
STILL have domain names that are registered with GoDaddy, you
are in SERIOUS peril. Here’s why. If GoDaddy gets a spam
complaint about a domain name of yours that is registered with
them, they will shut you down. PERIOD! They won’t give you a
warning. They won’t contact you to get your side of the story.
They will shut your domain account down, lock you out and demand
that you pay $199 for each domain to restore your account with
them.

Exciting
news! Miboso.com is about to be fully redeveloped and
equipped with all of the bells and whistles needed to automate
the APB suite of assessments (No more jumping word documents,
blocked PDFs or faxing of hard copies - hooray!) We're
installing software that will enable you to refer
others to us more easily and get rewarded automatically, either in cash
or credits that you can use to buy products and services. Our
goal is to create an incredibly user friendly process, so please let us know
who is doing an outstanding job and we'll model our system on
what you say is the best on the web. Pre-register for your
Referral Rewards by
us your name and contact informationin
a message with "Add to Referral Rewards Program" in the subject line.
We will continue our current manual referral rewards
program in the interim, and the reward rate of the new program will be the
same - you'll still get 20% of your referee's total
purchase, in cash or credit. Note: If your referee opts
for our one-on-one APB programs' 12 month payment plan, your
percentage will be paid out of each month's payment, so you'll
get $58.20/month for 12 months. |

PERSONAL BRANDING ON THE JOB |
|
| |
Until
now, our Authentic Personal Branding (APB) programs have been
largely directed to supporting the success of Independent
Professionals, Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners, many of
whom chose to leave the corporate world because of bad
experiences, bad bosses or bad jobs. Unfortunately, a
number of our clients who left the corporate could easily have
succeeded there What was missing was a personalized career
success strategy!
We all know that there is no such thing as job security, but did
you know that the career development program you head about when
you were hired, and discussed every year, during your performance review, is
commonly a corporate myth? Only a very few forward thinking
organizations actually have viable career development program programs,
so more and more
employed professionals are taking matters into their own hands
and developing their own career success strategies.
Our ABP
program has been upgraded to fully support these creative intrapreneurs in effectively directing, driving and managing
their careers. It is critical for employees who place a high
value on job satisfaction know their strengths, passions and
values. Those who direct and manage people must have a solid
understanding of their interpersonal style and how others
perceive them. An
article published in the
Careers Section of a leading national newspaper says more about
personal branding in the workplace..

on the new Authentic Personal Branding (APB) Software

the opportunity to participate in the development of our new software. Beta testers will also get one thousand
dollars off our $3,500 program. In recognition of the time it

$833.33 or 10 monthly payments of $250) If you're interested,

time to experience the current process before the first software
version is ready for testing early in 2007. If you want to be

Discerning whether you are
operating from agenda or intention is a lot like being in a
Haunted House. When you walk in, you know it's not real, but
once you get caught up in the illusion, you forget! You
may have to "feel the fear and do it anyway," so like the
friend who goes into the Haunted House with you, Heather will be
with you every step of the way to ensure you emerge
PROUD of your courage and EXHILARATED by the experience!

decide if you want to take charge of your power or continue to
allow others to drain it and/or use it against you. That will
help you figure out if it's for you.

SPOTLIGHT (A New Regular Feature) |

Last
July I heard that the founder of E-Myth Worldwide, Michael
Gerber had launched a new enterprise called,
"In The Dreaming Room: Awakening the
Entrepreneur Within." Having interviewed Michael
in 2004 and being a big fan of his E-Myth work, I was
immediately intrigued with the potential that this concept
offered for transforming coaching practices into highly
profitable businesses. After speaking to Michael and
interviewing him on
The Many Faces of Coaching™ Show,
I agreed
Rosemary &
Michael to support him in developing "In The
Dreaming Room - for Coaches."
In August, I flew to Las
Vegas to experience a Dreaming Room Event, first hand. Being
part of the small focused group of business owners and
entrepreneurs who had gathered there, committed to having
breakthroughs in their businesses, was a tremendous experience.
The energy was off the charts, the networking was rich and the
transformations that occurred were profound. Michael is a
masterful natural coach whose insight into and understanding of
successful business principles and practices is second to none.
(He is also a natural comic who could as easily have made as good
a living from his "Shtick" as he has by applying his business
acumen! So we not only got fabulous coaching and
business advice, we were entertained as well!) The
Dreaming Rooms for Coaches will be ready to roll in the first
quarter of 2007. If you would like to
learn more about this program in the interim, please complete
this
on-line survey and I will
contact you to address your questions. |

BOOKSHELF (A
New Regular Feature) |

Informative,
insightful and rather terrifying for those of us with children
entering the workforce of the 2020's, The World Is Flat: A
Brief History of the Twenty-First Century
is a "must read" for anyone who
wants to a glimpse of the economic and social future of our
planet. A big volume that speaks volumes, author Thomas
Friedman's, "brief history" sets the stage for today's
globalization and makes sound suggestions on how to leverage the
opportunities offered by off shore manufacturing, outsourcing
and the rapid development of second- and third-world nations.
His clear, engaging style makes the complex concepts he
discusses easy to understand. Another reviewer says:
"Friedman ...gives an excellent example of how China has now
replaced Mexico and Japan as the great manufacturer. He also
recognizes the Muslim world and how they seem to be disconnected
economically, making a case that it leads, or has led, to
terrorism. Very interesting stuff." I agree! |
