Having Trouble Remembering?3 Total Memory Makeover Tips
Use the power of your mind to take you where you want to go
You’ve already heard me say, mind development for mompreneurs is a vital contribu>ng element for success. Mind development takes into considera>on the mind’s maximum performance or its cogni>ve func>ons such as memory, logic thinking, emo>on and percep>on. In her book, “Total Memory Makeover,” and when I had the
opportunity to speak with her during the Mission to Mind Mastery, Marilu emphasizes the importance of an>cipa>on, par>cipa>on and recollec>on. Let’s take a closer look at how these three concepts can be applied to the world of women entrepreneurs like you who will benefit greatly from a commitment to mind development for an op>mized, magnificent life.
An>cipa>on is geHng ready to remember according to Marilu Henner. If we consider an>cipa>on as a mind health tool, it means preparing your mind to use its cogni>ve reserve called memory. Memory can be used when you are planning for your business transac>ons, applying strategies that you have tried and tested before, and even recalling what works for your business and what doesn’t. Marilu encourages individuals to live in the present we open our senses to the s>muli in our lives, it supports us to build memories that can be retrieved.
Par>cipa>on is the act of organizing your memories, allowing yourself to go back to the track of your life called, “the past” and learning beJer through what s>cks into your memory. With mind development, you begin to grasp the need to maintain mind health so that you can use it to its maximum poten>al. That is why you use your thoughts in organizing memories that provide meaning into your life. Memories that bring you back to past experiences of success and happiness are useful in keeping your mind health intact and provide you with posi>ve energy that can propel you into beJer mind development full of new ideas, op>mism and vibrant enthusiasm.
Recollec>on is the maintenance and enhancement of your memory. When you think of mind development to keep your mind health at its op>mum level, you need to sharpen your memory and maintain its full capacity. One way to stand out is to be the best mompreneur you can be for the area that you are passionate about and to maintain your sharp and vivid ability to recall stories and the experiences of those you serve. Thus, a healthy mind results in a memory that contributes to increased fulfillment, connec>on to others, and improved prac>ces in your business. It’s worth it to pay aJen>on to ways to maximize your mind and sharpen your memory. What are your goals?

Having Trouble Remembering? 3 Total Memory Makeover Tips
One of the most neglected parts of the entrepreneurial business system is con>nuity of communica>on with their community. It is oRen uninten>onal however the poten>al impact on business growth could be quite significant. We are all busy and there is a considerable amount that requires our >me and efforts – par>cularly during the ini>al start-‐up phase. Here are some reasons why you need to be conscious of your connec>ons.
★ A small percentage of people are actually seeking what you are offering right now.
★ About 1/3 of those in your community have conscious awareness of their real problem and how your solu>on might serve them in this regard.
★ About 1/3 have the awareness of their needs and your solu>on but, for a variety of reasons, it’s not the right >me.
★ A percentage of your community will not be right for what you are offering.
Many expert marketers will agree with this reality -‐ if you’re not following up, you’re closing the door on a large number of people that could very well be clients in the future. How many >mes have you listened to or learned from someone and not purchased their product/service un>l a year or more later? It’s happened to many of us. We follow them in response to something they’ve said that we share an interest in or want to know more about but we either don’t have (or recognize) a specific need un>l later. It’s the way life works. There are so many factors that influence a person’s buying decision. The more skilled you become in your marke>ng, the beJer you might become at assis>ng prospec>ve customers iden>fy the bridge you offer between their issue and the experiences that they seek to have in their lives or business.
With consistent value being provided and deepened rela>onships, you’ll be in the forefront of their mind. If you are able to demonstrate your capacity to support them in the areas that are needed, why wouldn’t they say “yes”
when the >me is right? If you aren’t there, they will simply go to the person who appears to meet their needs and are visible.
Three Things to Remember:1. Ensure that you have a way to encourage poten>al
clients to provide their contact informa>on (lead resource).
2. Develop a system to stay connected with those who will likely not purchase from you immediately.
3. Get to know your community, share resources and valuable content with them, and communicate the solu>ons provided through your services.
Connec:on Affirma:on: I am a channel of service for those meant to be supported.

“If you’re not following up, you’re closing the door on a large number of people that could very well be clients in the future.”
Children, by nature, start off in the world as conscious beings. They no>ce all that surrounds them, they find joy in the smallest things, and they are oRen more sensi>ve to their seHngs. With this in mind, the goal to raise conscious children begins with prac>ces that ensure that they remain conscious, as opposed to being drawn into the magnitude of unconsciousness that is prevalent in our society as well as the technology that contributes to unconsciousness and repe>>ve, trance-‐like behavior. The most powerful form of paren>ng is leading by your example. Not necessarily what you say or do with them, but your state of consciousness in daily ac>vi>es. That’s what establishes the founda>on for guiding your children to con>nue to be present and alive throughout their lives. It is a priceless lesson that will strengthen the core of their mind. With awareness comes choices. With awareness comes increased possibili>es. With awareness and a healthy mind comes greater social consciousness and integrity.
Things to Avoid:1. Limi>ng outdoor ac>vity. Encourage your child to
experience the natural world. This puts them in touch with deeper levels of their own being.
2. Reduce television watching. Eckert Tolle said that “watching television is a state of semi-‐comotose hypnosis.”
3. Being cri>cal of sensi>vi>es to their surroundings. Help them to manage their emo>ons and experiences.
4. Ignoring the wonder they express with the small things in life. Share in their enthusiasm and interest.
Applying the 4 Steps to Conscious Growth to Your Children:1. Aspira:on: Have the sincere desire to guide your
children to be conscious individuals2. Finding Truth: Help them to be true to themselves and
to live from that place3. Inten:on: Set your inten>on for this aspect of your
paren>ng. Your inten>on will support your commitment and determina>on. Teach your children to establish inten>ons for their day.
4. AHen:on/Focus: Incorporate prac>ces that will create consciousness in day-‐to-‐day experiences. For example, promote quiet >me and quiet reflec>on.
Gra>tude sustains the highest levels of consciousness. Be an example of acceptance and apprecia>on – beginning with themselves and extending to everything that surrounds them. Living consciously is an invaluable way of being with rewards too great to measure. It is a giR that benefits children for a life>me.

Raising Kids the Conscious Way
See if you recognize yourself in this leJer wriJen to me:
Dear Carol,I have great friends and a wonderful family but I dread going to work every day and can’t wait for the clock to strike five so that I can get out of there. I no>ce that some>mes that frame of mind stays with me most of the night. On the week end I go out with my friends which energizes me but before I know it, I am lying in my bed on a Sunday evening feeling the tension rise as I embark on yet another week. I feel unfulfilled, unappreciated and unmo>vated day in and day out. I wonder if my life would be different if I were in a rela>onship. Would you say that I have limits to living my magnificent life in the present while I work towards star>ng my own business? Obviously. What can I do?Thanks.Jus-ne K. (name changed)
My Response:Hello Jus-ne,Nice to hear from you. The good news is that you’ve come to an awareness that is missed by so many-‐ life that is void of a magnificent existence. Given the amount of waking hours spent in the work seHng, it is so important to make your daily experience sa>sfying.
★ It sounds as though you have three op>ons to consider. Regardless of the decision you do make, you will need a clear sense of what your great story consists of. Start by exploring your inner vision, strengths, values and passions. Then assess if your current posi>on provides an opportunity to meet or fulfill these characteris>cs. You can then use this informa>on to make a decision as to how you will proceed.
★ Change your percep>on and approach: Create an experience that feeds you and allows your magnificent self to be present.
★ Change your role: Is it possible to connect what you are passionate about and your unique characteris>cs to an alternate posi>on within the company?
★ Change your job: If you’ve considered the first two op>ons, you might take a look at another organiza>on where your best self can be united with the responsibili>es.
Give yourself sufficient >me to reflect and act upon what will help you to improve your daily work experience. As I’ve stated, to be within your muted self for eight hours each day, then try to release your magnificent self for the remaining >me does not work well in the long run. Our ability to be ac>ve contributors to our life experiences is vital. I am not saying that it is easy…just worth the effort. Your mind is depending on you for enriched moments.
More than half of our life is spent in our place of employment (business or a job). It is such a tragedy that a considerable amount of people con>nue to go through the mo>ons in their careers, day in and day out. There is no enthusiasm, no passion, and no inspira>on. They simply turn up, put in their day and leave – followed by a similar fate the following day. It seems like a misuse of >me.
People pursue jobs for an assortment of reasons. More oRen than not, monetary needs are the one principal considera>on. You will not hear me suggest that anyone should abandon all cau>on and pursue a job that you love, without considera>on to how modest the salary may be. We all agree that money is important.
Freedom Comes From Passion in What We Do...Not the Money We Make

RWhat I would like to emphasize is that money cannot be the sole factor where your magnificence is concerned. To have a maximized life requires that you to be fully present. For women to simply exist without perceived purpose for an extensive period each day contradicts the principles. True magnificence in your career comes from knowing that your work has made some difference which then s>mulates and inspires you every day.
In the end, most people find that this contributes to their sense of meaning. When you achieve your highest poten>al, extend these rewards to make a posi>ve difference, magnificence becomes the natural result.
Is Your Need to Be Liked Exhaus:ng You? Break Free Forever with These 7 StepsMagnificence in life is derived from mastering the life that you are living as fully as possible. If you cannot truly express yourself, you are confined. Living with constric>ons of your character and essence is an unhealthy place to be. It’s a place that many mompreneurs find themselves due to an overwhelming need to have approval and be liked by everyone.
Yes, we all have to make sacrifices and establish boundaries within our rela>onships and in some environments. The point is that your iden>ty is not lost along the way. Are there
elements of your authen>c self that you have been withholding? We are focusing on conscious growth and that comes from a place of truth. Use these 7 reminders to help you to claim your power to control your maximum des>ny and enjoy the freedom that you deserve.
1. Remind yourself that you cannot possibly gain the approval of everyone. It is a self-‐defea>ng downward spiral that almost always results in disappointment.
2. Put yourself at the top of your priority list.3. You don’t always have to be nice at the expense of your
own values, thoughts and feelings (a challenge spot that s>ll requires my aJen>on).
4. Learn to say no.5. Get comfortable with expressing your needs, thoughts
and feelings.6. Value your decisions.7. Avoid the automa>c internaliza>on of messages (yours
and others) by learning to recognize, reconstruct and replace them with those that suit your magnificent story.
Release Message to Self: I am releasing your restric>on from my mind and my soul. I know that you will be trying very hard to remain however my determina>on is much stronger than you have given me credit for. The >me has come to be free. I am aware and give myself the freedom to be ME.
There is a reason that so many people find that they cannot move beyond their current accomplishments to achieve more. It is very closely connected to the central meter that exists within your subconscious mind opera>ng on an automa>c basis and, in many cases, undermining aJempts to grow further.
Your mind is a very complex and magnificent en>ty capable of processes that we normally take for granted. Understanding the basic func>ons of the subconscious and conscious mind, especially where your poten>al is concerned, will offer valuable insights to assist you in establishing new markers for achievement. You will need to train your subconscious mind to accept and adopt a new way of thinking and living.
Here is your chance to start to shape your highest possible poten>al on your terms. It starts with a careful personal explora>on of what is at the core of your being. What is dis>nguishing about you? What is the fuel that drives you? What are the habits that you are engaged in?
The fact is that many people say that they are commiJed to achieving a goal, but really they are in a contempla>on stage where the ideas and strategies are iden>fied, but the primary mo>va>on hasn’t been adopted within their unconscious as significant enough or reality-‐based.This insight is essen>al to address habitual magnificence leaks that exist without your awareness. You will not be able to alter what you aren’t aware of. Once you have brought this to consciousness, then forming new paJerns
and focusing on your inten>ons will be your objec>ve. What you seek will be revealed when you contemplate its existence in the present.
It all starts with a conscious decision, and that choice is en>rely yours. Take control of your poten>al and use the enormous range of op>ons to bring out your drive to succeed. You are in charge of your life and your ability to reach beyond your previous expecta>ons. Rev up your cause and nothing will stop you from experiencing great things. When your consciousness has been awakened, the daily ac>vi>es will begin to be revealed.
