Every time you increase your standards you raise your ability to have more of what you want in your life. Women business owners put up with too low of standards regarding how much mo.ney they make, how they allow their clients and their team to treat them, how much they’re paid, low volume of how many people sign up for their programs or buy their products…you name it!

Here’s the thing: just because you’ve experienced certain numbers in the past doesn’t mean those are the numbers you have to live with. For example: if you’re used to only having a certain number of people register for your preview teleseminars, what would have to be true for you to have double that amount? What would have to be true for you to triple that number?

Do you remember the saying, ‘everything I needed to know about life I learned in kindergarten?’ Well, I won’t say everything, but definitely a few really key lessons can be learned from the five and under set. One of the most important ones is the wide-eyed wonder and delight that children seem to be able to find in almost everything, every minute of every day, day after day. As adults we often do not appreciate the enormity of this wide-eyed sense of adventure. In fact we often find it tiresome, but take a moment to truly ponder what it would be like to look forward to each and every day with so much excitement that sleep is like punishment. Can you imagine how different your days would become?

The difference between what you have now and what you want is simply deciding that what you want CAN be part of your life. The problem for most people is they don’t believe they can have what they want simply because that’s not what they’re experiencing right now.

The key is to focus your energy, your vision, your beliefs and actions on what you DO want. This isn’t just visualization or intentioning It’s more powerful than that because you’re beginning to act from the place of already having what you want.

For example, when Richard and I decided to buy property and build a new house I learned the ins and outs of buying land versus buying an already made house. I learned what areas I wanted to live in. I learned about zoning for horses and what the county rules were.

After chatting with a colleague for about 30 minutes last week, he said to me “Thanks for this call — I feel like both my left and right brains were satisfied.”

I laughed, told him that I felt the exact same way and forgot about it until walking the dogs this morning.

It dawned on me then that one of the secrets of success is to be able to tap into both sides of our brain as needed.

And while I generally think of myself as “left brained”, that’s not entirely true and the same goes for those who believe themselves to be largely “right brained”.

For example…
When creating a new product or program launch, we need to access our right (creative) brains to come up with compelling offers, offers that stand out from what everyone else is doing.
Once the initial launch is over, we need to access our left (analytical) brains to determine if it was successful, where we can improve, etc.
