From Laziness to Leadership

adminConscious Business Resources, Life of a Conscious EntrepreneurNo Comments


By Christine Kloser

What would it look like to lead your life in every moment of every day?  I’ve been asking myself this question lately.  You’d think being the leader that I am out there in the world with my business… that I’d be leading everywhere in my life.

But, I’m human.  And, there are places in my life where I haven’t been leading myself at the level I know I can.  So, I’m going to open the vault and share with you something that keeps me from leading EVERYWHERE in my life, and what steps you and I both can take to shift them.

One of the things that keeps me from leading everywhere in my life is laziness.  You may be shocked to hear this because I probably don’t appear as someone who is lazy.  But, I’ve discovered that often times I put all of my focus and energy into helping my clients step into their greatness, that when I’m not working on my business, I want to take a break and not step into my leadership 100% of the time.  I convince myself that when I’m “off duty” I deserve to rest. 

Now, just in case you’re saying “yes” of course you deserve a break, you should relax and take some down time for yourself… I’m not talking about that kind of rest.  I’ve talking about allowing my consciousness to rest, and that’s not OK with me.  In fact, letting my consciousness rest is what gets me in trouble.

It’s not pleasant to admit this to you, or to myself.  But, it’s important for me to share it now as I’m being called to uplevel my personal leadership in bigger ways.  This all came into more clarity this morning as I was talking with my husband about the work we’re doing with our spiritual teacher.  So it’s fresh in my mind and ripe for sharing… and shifting.  I hope it is serving you, too!

So, my antidote to laziness is to live my life as who I am when I’m doing my highest work at the Freedom Retreats.  At the Freedom Retreats, I am 100% present, connected to Source, available, tuned-in, direct, loving, open to wisdom, trusting, trusted, and masterful in creating the space and safety to facilitate deep transformation and freedom.   Literally, the Freedom Retreats feel like heaven on earth for me, and the participants.

Showing up in this way in every moment is going to help me, personally, experience a deeper level of freedom for myself.  I don’t expect it to happen overnight, but I do expect myself to take steps in this direction everyday.

So, let me ask you, now… do you look at your life and see pockets of leadership and pocket of laziness?  If so, I encourage you to look at who you are when you show up as a leader, and how you can translate that into those areas of your life where you are lazy. 

And, now for a word of caution… be gentle and compassionate with yourself.  Discovering new things about yourself can be unpleasant and challenging.  Remember that you are a spiritual being having a human experience.  And, everything you discover that is keeping your soul from living its highest expression in this life… is SERVING you.  You are here to experience freedom in the highest possible way.  Celebrate those times you discover what’s holding you back… they are in fact the key to your freedom!

“I was able to bust through a block that had held me back for a decade!”

Kathy Esper 2010“The Freedom Retreat shifted me into new directions for my business, and for my life. Truly walking the path of the conscious entrepreneur is about showing up with trust and without attachment to what is present in the moment for you. Christine brilliantly guided us through a journey that opened up possibilities beyond imagination.

In the first 24 hours, I was able to bust through a block that had held me back for a decade. Even better, we transformed that block into the powerful foundation for the new direction that my life and business are now taking. My inner and outer worlds have shifted and best of all, I have stepped into a deeper version of what true service is, alongside people who are my soul travelers.”

“I knew I needed to be at the Freedom Retreat, and Christine proved me right!”

From Fear to Freedom

adminConscious Business Resources, Life of a Conscious EntrepreneurNo Comments

 
By Christine Kloser

If someone were to ask you what’s keeping you from your next level of success… from stepping out and doing what you’re meant to do… what would you say?  You may say you don’t know WHAT to do, or HOW to do it.  Or, maybe you’re too old, too young, don’t have enough money, or the right connections.  You may even say you’re too busy or overwhelmed with other things and you just can’t get to it.

While all of these things may appear to be true at the surface, if you look deeper underneath these “tip of the iceberg” answers, you’ll likely see a whole new landscape of answers lurking in the recesses of your mind.  And there, you hear the voices that say, “You can’t do this.  Who do you think you are?  You don’t deserve it.  Nobody will support you.  You’ll lose your friends.  You’re not “enough” to do that.  It’ll never work.  They’ll make fun of you.  They won’t get you.  You’ll fail.  Etc., etc. 

The bottom-line is these deeper voices are all rooted in fear.  And, as long as you have the tape recorder of fear running through the back of your mind, it will be impossible for you to experience the joy, freedom and fulfillment that comes from busting through that fear and experiencing a new fullness of who you are. 

Now, the miracle that happens when you break through the fear is that your business will have a breakthrough, too.  It’s true when you hear people say that everything is energy.  Everything is indeed energy.  That being said, you can’t change things at the surface by employing a new strategy and expect things to shift… unless you release what’s UNDERNEATH your activity on an energetic and emotional level. 

Let me give you an example.  At my Freedom Retreat, one of my clients had a fear she’s been dealing with for years.  She took a big courageous step to face it head on and once she walked through it and stepped through to the other side, the clarity, passion, purpose and support she’d been seeking for YEARS was right in front of her.  She didn’t need to “do” anything, or figure out her strategy.  All she needed to do was face the fear, walk through it… and BAM!  Clarity flowed in abundance and her life changed in a moment. 

So, if you’re feeling frustrated that what you’re “doing” isn’t working, please don’t fret.  You can shift that dynamic the moment you’re willing to look underneath what’s happening and take the courageous steps to heal and transform what’s really been driving you.  When you shift your BEING, what you’re DOING will finally work.

“I’m now clear about my purpose, my business direction and have a community of support.”

Anastasia Montejano“Do whatever it takes to attend The Freedom Retreat, you won’t be disappointed.  As a working mother who lives in Northern California, I had the same reservations we all have in our busy lives – can I really spare the time away from my family?  What about the cost?  Will I get what I’m hoping for?  I arrived at the retreat needing a clear direction for my business, and came away with an understanding of my life purpose and how it blends with the direction of my business.  I’m so grateful for all that I received and can honestly say that I left a different woman.    

Christine is a highly gifted guide who creates the loving, safe space for you to discover how to experience the deepest and most fulfilling success in your business and your life.  The caliber of women I had the opportunity to meet was amazing, and were people I would never have met anywhere else.  As a group, there was so much joy in the time we had together – we learned, we grew together, we laughed and we supported each other.  The icing on the cake was the beautiful Gramercy Mansion.  The mansion and the grounds were the perfect venue for such an amazing event.  

I came to the Freedom Retreat stuck and uncertain about my business direction and left with purpose, business direction and a community who will be there to support me through my journey.  It was a life changing event for me.  Grateful doesn’t begin to describe how glad I am that I attended.  Thanks Christine and the folks from my group – I couldn’t have done it without you!”

I’m writing this newsletter from 30,000 feet up on my flight to San Diego.  Though, after the week I just had facilitating The Freedom Retreat for another incredible group of women, I’d be “flying high” even if I weren’t up here in this airplane.  There are few things in my life that provide the level of joy, depth, community, healing and transformation that I just experienced working with my retreat attendees. 

The magic was palpable, the transformations were visible, the freedom was overflowing, the love was generous and the clarity was profound.  I have a huge smile on my face right now as I reflect on this retreat and the beautiful souls that travelled to Gramercy Mansion in Baltimore to work with me and each other.  They have transformed me as much as I have transformed them.

One of the themes of the retreat was “service.”  What does it really mean to be of service, and how can you be of the highest service?  There’s one thing I know to be true about service and that is you can’t serve if you’re living in fear.  Each of the women at the retreat stepped out into service, but only after they took courageous steps to bust through their fears.

Asking For Help

adminConscious Business Resources, Life of a Conscious EntrepreneurNo Comments

By Christine Kloser

For years I struggle with asking for help.  It seems to be a common thing among many entrepreneurs… the feeling that you have to “do it all.”  This feeling usually lies at the surface for us, because entrepreneurs are typically capable, confident, creative, “go getter” kind of people.  We have a vision, a mission, a calling and a commitment to do what we need to do to achieve our goals in the world. 

Yet, sometimes being capable can turn into overcompensation and drive home the feeling that we must do it all.  When in reality, nothing could be further from the truth. 
I remember the first time I heard Loral Langemeier speak.  She had come out to Los Angeles to talk at my one-day seminars for women entrepreneurs.  One of the things she shared was that nobody is a “self-made” millionaire.  She went on to say that every millionaire out there is a “team-made” millionaire… because they realized and utilized the value of having other people support them on their journey of success.

So, why is it so difficult to ask for help?  For me, it’s a rather long and complicated answer with lots of dynamics at play, but the bottom-line is that I viewed asking for help as a sign of weakness.  Couple that with my other thought that nobody would be there for me anyway even if I did ask, and you get one overworked, overstressed, “all too important” wonder woman… who really can’t do everything she thinks she can and still enjoy a high quality of life.

Thankfully, I’ve woken up to the gifts of asking for help.  I think the turning point for me in asking for help was in 2008 when I called one of my book coaching/publishing “competitors” and asked her for a meeting to talk about working together.  In the past I wouldn’t have let myself do that, especially with someone who could be viewed as a direct “competitor.”   What if she said “no, thank you?”  I would have been seen as weak (in my eyes).

But, she said “yes” and the gifts of joining in partnership with Lynne have been so abundant that I can’t imagine what my publishing business (or my life) would look like had I never gathered the courage and strength to ask her if she wanted to work in partnership with me and help grow our business together. 

Now, we’ve grown to the point where we have lots of exciting, new projects on the table (you’ll be hearing about them soon) and we’ve asked for and received tons of help with all of them.  Literally, we have a team around us that allows Lynne and I to be in our brilliance and creativity while having all the help we need… where others do those things we don’t do well or don’t want to do.

Asking for help brings you freedom!  It brings you peace of mind.  And, it brings the knowingness that at the heart of every human being is the desire to offer help.  Just think about how good you feel when someone asks you for something and you step up to help them.  Whether it’s the old woman at the grocery store who needs help reaching to the top shelf for an item, or a friend who is in crisis and needs a shoulder to cry on, to a marketing partner who you’re happy to support, or a client who needs an extra nudge with a challenge they’re going through.

Our hearts are abundant with the desire to be of service and help others.  And, it’s a two-way street.  As much as your heart is ready, willing and eager to help other people… their hearts are ready willing and eager to help you!  Remember, it’s OK to need and want help, it’s OK to ask for help and there are people who will be happy to help YOU… including me!

Think about it. How many original thoughts do you really have? How many thoughts are about your limitations, your fears, your anxieties, the things you want, and so forth. You will learn that from sickness and anxiety to the way you comb your hair and dress, and so much more,  are all a part of what you have been trained to think and choose. You will also learn some very simple easy-to-use tools that can fr*ee your mind and empower your being.
