The Awakened Imagination Challenge: How to Leap onto the Playing Field of Your Life


Nothing you imagined will be impossible for you – The Bible……REALLY?

The game of life is always played on two levels. First in your imagination and then as your ‘experienced’ reality. Both of them can be played in the same way

There are at least four unique ways to participate in the game of life. Some people live their lives in the stands, eating their hotdogs, watching the game go by. They believe that life is a spectator sport, and thus they do the minimum to survive.

The second category is players who sit on the sideline bench, hoping and believing that one day they will get to really play in the game. Yet, their shoes are still untied, and they are totally unprepared to jump on the field.

The third group is composed of the players who are in action on the playing field, yet function like robots, unconsciously carrying out their coaches’ orders and commands. They follow all the rules of the game, and do exactly what they are told to do. Their lives are one big “should” waiting to implode.

The fourth group contains the most satisfied players of all. They are conscious, pro-active, inspired manifestors who through their awakened imagination design their own game and experience a succession of peak experiences during their time on the field. These beings are natural leaders who catalyze and inspire all the other teammates into inspired action. They bring creative thinking and "possibility consciousness" into the hearts and minds of each player. They have mastered the art of being present to the divine juiciness found within each moment of the game.

In which one of these groups have you spent the majority of your days?

We invite you to step back from your life, and look at everything you have experienced thus far.

Notice at what times you were sitting with your feet up in the stands, watching the game go by from the sidelines, or truly on the playing field 100%! Perhaps, you chose to play it safe, and never felt like you made it out on the field. Whatever you experienced, what made you get excited enough to fully step onto the field. What was that FEELING like when you were ON the playing field?

Remember this feeling! It is your secret weapon for winning the game.

Stepping out onto the playing field as a manifestor to use your imagination by design instead of default  is both a terrifying and exhilarating experience. The exhilaration begins when you completely participate in the adventure.

Life is not a spectator sport. This game is about discovering how to be fulfilled on the deepest and most intimate levels of your being, and only occurs through intimate participation with your life. This intimacy happens when you are so involved and engaged in each moment that you lose your sense of separateness from everything and everyone on the field.

Intimately participating in your life teaches you how to trust the process of life, and discover the super-natural being you truly are. It educates you on how to let go of your stuckness, tap into this divine focus, and become responsible for manifesting your dreams and desires! 

The following exercise will help you step onto the playing field of life and take inspired action towards manifesting your dreams.

Use this "Imagination by Design" Exercise to Help you Leap onto the Playing Field of your Life!

Start with making an extensive list of all the things you think are stopping you from getting on the field. This may simply be a list of your greatest fears, excuses, insecurities, or just limiting beliefs about yourself.

Write down every experience you can think of that is stopping you from living the life of your dreams.

After your list is complete, pick your top three "charged" things on the list to release from your body and mind.

To start the releasing process, first breathe any resistance to feeling the feeling into your body. Feel whatever you're feeling deep, and on the out-breath repeat the words,
"I release this fear and allow everything to be O.K.” As your body experiences the feeling of fear, you simply remain the observer in the background, watching the event happening from afar.

Repeat this exercise with everything on your list, until there is no emotional “charges” left inside you.

When you can find peace with your entire list you'll find yourself exuding LOADS of new energy which will make you naturally jump onto the playing on the field of life!

This exercise is one of many found in “The 100 Day Awakened Imagination Challenge” which is the most comprehensive resource on how to use your imagination by design instead of by default!  It shows you exactly how to "Use your Imagination by Design to Raise Your Manifesting Vibration" and receive actual results!

The Awakened Imagination Challenge: How to Transcend Poverty and Manifest Plenty of Money


All of your poverty, all of your financial struggles, and every desperate lacking feeling you've ever had around money can be easily eliminated.  You have the power to effortlessly create abundance all around you, if you are willing to be wrong, to let go of all your old thinking and feeling habits, and try on something completely new, radical and revolutionary. 

From this day on, go to the very root of what is instigating your feelings of financial challenge, uproot those old thought patterns and replace them with the following exercise below, and you'll see before your eyes that everything changes.  

Genesis 11:6 “Nothing they imagined will be impossible for them” The word “Imagination” breaks up in three different words. “Image in action” and the word “Image” contains the essence of our existence, “I AM”

The very core of your all your struggle with money stem from that one place which you never thought to look.  It's underneath that most subtle, slippery, sneaky, unsuspecting source inside our mind.  Every experience of financial suffering came from the root identification, "I AM struggling with money".  You see, whenever you follow any idea in your head after these two magical words "I AM" you will manifest exactly what follows. All financial issues stem from this thought, or a thought that sounds similar to it. 

Most likely your mind has been decorating it with your own personalized twist that might sound something like, "I AM always busy working and barely making enough.  I AM stuck in this job so I have to work hard to get by. I AM all alone so I cannot ever relax and get ahead. I AM burdened by too many bills. 

I AM always barely scrimping by. Or, I AM just not educated enough to make plenty of money."   When you are conscious enough, devoted enough, tired enough of struggling year after year, lifetime after lifetime, you will decide to think a new more positive thought that follows your "I AM". You will watch like a hungry Lion what thoughts follow I AM and consciously choose positive new thoughts such as, "I AM making plenty of money. I AM doing well financially this year. I AM truly abundant and financially free!" 
“You will be a failure, until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success. This is done by making an affirmation which ''clicks.'' ~Florence Scovel Shinn
The golden key with shifting out of any impoverished pattern is having emotional honesty and consistency. In the beginning you may buried so deep in financial despair that you cannot truly FEEL what its like to be financially free.  It's ok to pretend you are doing better and "fake it until you make it" whenever you're first shifting out of any stuck old habit. Yet, there will come a day (rather quickly) when this technique won't work anymore, and you will need to actually FEEL what true abundance is like inside.  

We are all born with the light of Divine Abundance inside of us. Every being was conceived from this place, so you do have full access to reconnecting with this feeling of financial freedom again. When you STOP coloring your consciousness with struggling thoughts and be completely STILL and SILENT then you will naturally return to this inherent abundance again.

"The soul is the innermost being of man himself. The soul is contacted when one learns "to be still." If one will use his power of thought to become tranquil, he will begin to be instructed by God." ~Anna Lee Skarin  

At twelve every day for the next month of your life, I invite you to check inside and gauge how you're FEELING around your about your relationship with money. Be honest with yourself and explore just how much you've awakened from your hypnotic trance around being poor, broke and constantly struggling. 

Be patient with yourself love. Rome wasn't built in a day. You will need to sleep, breathe and eat the feelings of "I AM making plenty of money" before you will start manifesting it in the physical world. When you first open your eyes in the morning, take these precious moments to turn your attention inward to your "I AM consciousness" and hold the visualization and feeling for as long as you can, "I AM making plenty of money."  

There is great power and a divine force behind your mind. It's what is running today's manifestation show!  When you deeply re-establish this new abundant I AM identity, and are visualizing what happens in the next 24 hour with it, you'll naturally shape shift your finances and be able to attract plenty of money to you in a way that will surprise you. If you would like extraordinary assistance in raising your Financial Frequency  this week...

Remember Proverbs 23:7 “Like a person think in his/her heart, so is s/he”. The word “heart” in Hebrew is “Labe” and translates into, “The thoughts and feelings of the mind”. You can be assured that if there a clash between your thoughts and feelings, your feelings will win……every time. So follow the above mentioned advice and see your life take of

Be on the lookout for our next post where I will give you more tips on how to use your imagination by design instead of by default.

You are the light of this world

We are definitely moving into a new stage of "doing business". Moving from a head centered to a heart centered business model, and if you do not understand te underlying principle to that your business 'will' fail over the next few years!

You are the light of this world

We are all Enlightened Beings in disguise. Every being is born with full access to the highest peak of truth, love and consciousness. If you look into a baby's eyes you will see it. The sparkle of their pure uncluttered untainted awareness is blazing there. You can see that there is no sense of time, rigid beliefs, or systems of controlling the world in their mind.  There is just pure presence and awareness. They are a naturally in love with life, without even trying their Enlightened Nature shines through. This consciousness is in all of us for at one time we were all once a baby.

"All beings are from the very beginning Buddhas." ~ Hakuin 

If our Enlightened Nature is already here now, complete and whole in itself, why isn't the entire world filled with an abundance of Enlightened Beings? There is one little thing in the way called the "ego". The mind gets identified with certain desires, thinking it HAS to have these things in order to be happy.  The attachment to desire gets in the way and obscures this light of pure being.  When there is too much attachment or resistance to anything in life, it causes the mind to malfunction and lose contact with its naturally enlightened perspective on reality.  What it needs is to relax; rest and wait for the clarity to come pouring through.

The unenlightened mind is a lot like a fish in a fishbowl who is anxiously swimming around in circles, causing the water to spin and all the muck on the bottom to be stirred up distorting the clarity of the water. When the fish stops swimming and rests, it takes a while yet soon the muck settles back to the bottom of the bowl and the water becomes crystal clear.  If your health, relationships, money, work or love life seems to be spinning around in muck, you simply need to stop all movement, relax the mind and rest deep inside yourself again.  In time your issue will resolve itself as the light of your own consciousness will clarify everything for you.

By bringing the mind to a complete halt, the illusions of your mind disappear and you naturally experience the infinite source inside you.  Being still is the greatest secret to discovering Enlightenment.  When you are completely calm, still and unmoving, your mind becomes crystal clear.  You can only experience the loving, eternal, and divine aspects of your infinite Enlightened Nature. The heart opens and an unconditional love for all beings (including yourself) naturally begins pouring through you.  When the mind is uncluttered you can see the divine truth of who and what you truly are. 

"I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man." ~Chang Tzu 

The very instant you are empty of mind chatter, you can stop and take a good long look inside yourself.  You can explore yourself, investigate your past, look into what you want to manifest in your future, and discover something quite amazing about your very nature. You realize that you are not this body, nor these thoughts, or anything you can imagine with your mind. Who you really are goes beyond thinking, beyond concepts, and beyond the mind. You are an infinite and eternal soul that cannot be burned by fire or wet by water. You are this forever expanding consciousness that cannot be defined.


When you are in a state of pure being, completely free from the mind, you instantly start connecting with your inherent Enlightened Nature. Suddenly, as if from out of no where, your true radiant self with all its positive life expanding qualities finds its way into your life. Your relationships become fun, easy and effortless and you think about what amazing gifts you have inside you to give back to the community.  The most simple blissful joyful sensations are naturally experienced in the most ordinary situations.  By being silent quiet and still, you discover that you are ALREADY deeply connected to an Infinite source of goodness within.

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity." Albert Einstein (1879-1955) 

Every morning for the next week of your life I invite you to explore one thing. The very instant that you've awakened from your sleep, before you move your body or open your eyes, take these precious moments to turn your attention inwards and ask this one question. Where is the source of thought coming from? The question itself is the purpose of the exercise, it’s not necessary to find an answer.  Just keep pointing your attention in the direction of where you feel or think the source of thought is coming from.  Directing your intention inside yourself is the key to opening the great door to the beyond.


Before you wake up, just take a look inside you.  Look deeper inside yourself before your mind starts to think about its agenda for the day. Simply investigate where the Source of thought is coming from, and if you can feel into it, relax into it and rest in the core of it.  This way you'll tend to return to this place all throughout your day.  Bring your whole heart and soul into this enquiry and if you get stuck then simply remain curious. Do not try to get anywhere, just remain in a state of curiosity and see what happens!  There is a hidden force behind your mind running this grand master show. This indivisible divine energy is very powerful when you connect with it, and when you find it you'll be able to shape shift your life in any way you'd like it to be.

"Expect your every need to be met, expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level, and expect to grow spiritually. You are not living by human laws. Expect miracles and see them take place. Hold ever before you the thought of prosperity and abundance, and know that doing so sets in motion forces that will bring it into being." ~Eileen Caddy

By implementing the above in your new business model you will start achieving 'effortless success'

Four Ways to Tweak Your Business for MORE Success

Remember Steven Covey's book "7 Habits of Effective People"? One of my favorites was Habit #7 -- the importance to sharpening your saw. 
Suppose you were to come upon someone in the woods working feverishly to saw down a tree.

"What are you doing?" you ask.
"Can't you see?" comes the impatient reply. "I'm sawing down this tree."
"You look exhausted!" you exclaim. "How long have you been at it?"
"Over five hours," he returns, "and I'm beat! This is hard work."
"Well why don't you take a break for a few minutes and sharpen that saw?" you inquire. "I'm sure it would go a lot faster."
"I don't have time to sharpen the saw," the man says emphatically. "I'm too busy sawing!"

(from Steven Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People)

And now consider how little time you're likely to spend throughout the year to actually sharpen your saw? At least that's what it looks for many of the entrepreneurs I talk with.

We're always so busy doing... doing... doing... that we don't take enough time developing better skills - aka, a sharpened saw. So why not use the last few weeks of summer to get our saws (businesses) ready for the fall and back in good shape!

Think of all those things that have been put on the back burner because they were not urgent... but we limp along "making due".

Here are a few ways you can leverage the summer to boost your marketing - and your biz results.

1. Mid-Year Review

I know we're past the mid year but if you haven't done this yet - you're missing out on one of the BEST tools. In order to be most effective with our marketing, we need to take time out to review how we're doing. And that's our Mid-Year Marketing Review.

So take a few hours and take stock of where you are, where you want to go, and what it will take to get you to your goal.   Make it a treat for yourself - spend the day in a comfortable retreat-like environment, where you're able to reflect and think without interruption. Be creative: a picnic table, the beach, you back yard, favorite coffee shop or restaurant. You'll find that you come out refreshed and with a specific plan for what you need to do next to achieve your goals.  

Remember the saying... "If you fail to plan then you're planning to fail!"

2. Re-Evaluate Your Goals

Speaking of goals... Are they still the same goals you had when you started the year, or should you make any changes. Go ahead and think about that, and make sure they're still the goals you want to pursue for the rest of the year.

If you have already accomplished them create new and bigger goals. On the other hand if you're nowhere near achieving them then "rightsize" them.   I feel goals need to be an attainable stretch or they don't really motivate.

3. Re-Evaluate Your Ideal Client Profile

Next, you should also evaluate your ideal client profile. Start by looking at all your clients this past year. Do you have enough or too many? Are they the "right" type or fit? Are you finding yourself unhappy with some of your clients? Are they not bringing you solid profit margins? Are they a challenge to find?

Now is a great time to realign and redefine the type of clients you want to have. You don't HAVE to fire your non-ideal clients if you don't want to. But you may want to phase them out slowly by not taking on more of them and focusing more on taking on clients you'd love to work with and provide profitable business.

Remember if you're trying to sell to everyone it's going to be tough and not so rewarding! (Actually, if you are selling to everybody, you are selling to nobody)

4. Tweak Your Networking Introduction

With the end of the year comes a flurry of networking events so now is the perfect time to tweak your networking introduction. Reflect back on what interest level you get when you tell people what you do. If you're not getting positive reactions your introduction may need some work, or you've been networking in the wrong places - figure out which now!

Your networking introduction should be attracting further conversations and referral opportunities - if it's not, then you're minimizing your opportunities. Spend some time today and draft out a new answer to the "what do you do?" question. Off course if you have a problem with this, contact us and we’ll gladly assist you to develop a “light bulb” introduction.

To be Successful at Networking - Do This!

You know the old Boy Scouts motto: always be prepared. And when it comes to networking meetings, preparation can go a long way towards boosting your success.

There are five key steps to effective preparation before you head to a networking meeting: You need to choose the right meeting, have the right mindset, establish yourself as an expert and knowledge broker, and get ready to broker connections. Finally, you should also know how to introduce yourself in a way that will attract your ideal prospects and referral partners.

Step 1: Choose the right place to network

Networking meetings are an investment in time, and usually money as well. So before you choose a meeting, find out who will be there. The key question to keep in mind is this: Will the people you meet there have the kinds of contacts that will benefit you? If you're at a meeting of accountants, and you're looking to meet alternative health practitioners, this meeting might not be a good fit.  

Step 2: Have a networking mindset

Remember gumball machines? You put in a coin, turn the knob & out pops a gumball! And some people approach networking meetings the same way. They expect to walk in, pay their     R 5.00, and out pops a referral or a business deal. It doesn't work that way.

Instead of approaching networking meetings as ways to meet new clients, why not focus on meeting people and building relationships and referral partners. You'll be more successful, and in the long run, those new alliances can lead to more business to.  

Step 3: Be an expert and knowledge broker

At a meeting where it's all about talking to each other, it helps to have something to talk about - something useful. And since most networking meetings are about business, it will be useful to know about current affairs and have educated opinions about issues that are relevant to your fellow networkers.

So pick up the paper, surf the web, and make sure to gather up a nice stash of information before you head off to your networking meetings. Being well-informed will make you someone who people will want to connect with.  

Step 4: Prepare to be a contact broker

In addition to gathering up your information, also go over your list of people you know, people you might be able to refer to others. At the same time, you might know of other people who could use some referrals themselves. Once you're at the meeting, keep your eyes and ears open, and when an opportunity arises, make the connections and introductions. The more connections you make, the more will come your way as well.

Step 5: Create an effective introduction

To be successful at networking, you also need to have the kind of introduction that gets people's attention and makes them want to know more... especially those people who could be your ideal target clients and referral partners. So before you head out for a meeting, get clear whom you're trying to reach and what you're doing for them. Then, add a short story and finish with a call to action.

Having an effective introduction or "audio logo" will go a long way towards attracting your perfect prospects and referral partners. It speaks to them and will make them want to talk to you to find out more. And there's more. Audio logos aren't just a stand-up affair, but you should also be able to use them in conversation. People don't like to be talked at. Instead, give them morsels of information and wait for them to ask for more.

From Conversation to Client in Four Simple Steps

Our lives as professionals marketing our own services/products would be much easier if clients would simply read our sales copy and decide to hire us. But in the real world, it rarely works that way. Instead, we must have conversations with our prospects before a sale takes place -- sometimes several conversations.

These selling conversations can seem difficult or intimidating, but they don't have to be. Here are four simple steps to turn conversations into paying clients.

Step 1. What do you need?

Keys to success: Being curious. Listening. Letting go of assumptions.

Begin every sales conversation by asking prospects to tell you about their needs, and listen carefully to what they tell you. Forget about what you think they should want, and pay attention to what they really do want.

Common mistakes: Starting with Step 2 instead, or beginning Step 2 too soon.

Even when prospects start the conversation by asking you to describe your services, take a moment to find out more about them first. When prospects tell you their problems and goals, they are handing you the secrets of how to sell to them successfully.

Step 2. Here's what I have.

Keys to success: Matching what you have to what they need as specifically as possible.

Describe your services in direct response to the needs your prospects tell you about. If they're in a hurry, tell them how you can work quickly. If they want accuracy, describe your attention to detail. Use the same words and phrases they used, and speak to the same issues they did.

Common mistakes: Sharing features and processes instead of benefits and results.

When prospects ask how you work, what they really want to know is what results you produce, not the steps you follow to get there. They want to hear what benefits your services have for them, not an inventory of all the bells and whistles included in your service package.

Step 3. Is there a match?

Keys to success: Collaborating with your prospect. Consulting or coaching instead of persuading.

You'll make more sales when you and your prospects are on the same side, instead of being adversaries. Act as if they have already hired you, and help them solve their problem. Don't just talk about how you could help; show them what it's like to work with you.

Common mistakes: Ignoring your prospects' concerns. Becoming defensive. Trying to coax prospects to buy.

Every concern a prospect has is legitimate. Acknowledge each one and explore together what resolution might be possible. Stay focused on their needs instead of your own. Trying to convince prospects you know more about what's right for them than they do will backfire.

Step 4. Will you hire me?

Keys to success: Asking a yes or no question, then waiting for an answer.
Once you've completed the first three steps, it's time to ask your prospects if they are ready to work with you. Be sure you've resolved their concerns from Step 3. Ask a direct question; don't wait for them to offer. Then stop talking until they reply.

Common mistakes: Asking too soon. Not asking at all. Giving them reasons not to buy.
Don't talk yourself out of a sale by bringing up their concerns again when you ask if they're ready to get started. For example, "Would you like to work with me? I know you said the price was higher than you planned, but..." Just ask, and wait.

The good news is that once you arrive at Step 4, the answer is rarely "no." If your services aren't a good fit for your prospects' needs, you'll find that out by the time you get to Step 3. (And in that case, you won't be asking for their business at all.) You're more likely to hear a reason they wish to delay their decision. Help them determine a timeframe for making up their minds, and set a date to resume the conversation at Step 3.

If selling conversations are challenging for you, rehearse these steps with a friend, colleague, or coach playing the role of prospect. Once you become more comfortable with the process, you'll find your prospects begin to relax also, and these conversations will become easier for both of you. And that will lead naturally to more sales.

Remember, although everybody cannot be your client, everybody can be your referral partner!

How to Evaluate Your Referral Relationships in Seven Steps

1.    Make a list of all your referrals
2.    Consider how did you get those referrals?
3.    Add the product and service(s)
4.    What do the successful referrals have in common?
5.    What do the referrals who did not buy have in common?
6.    Which referrals became your ideal clients?
7.    Follow up with everyone who referred you

Taking time to work through this 7 step process helps you get clear about a few things:

1.    How much business you're actually getting from referrals
2.    Your success rate in closing referral business
3.    Who's referring you and whether or not they understand enough about your business to do it successfully
4.    Helps you build better referral relationships
5.    Get a better sense of who is your ideal customer
