Aloha friends!  I want to share with you the 5 simple steps to beginning your creative business because if you don’t know how then what tends to happen is you start having thoughts swirling around in your mind that can scare you and I want to help you get started without the scary! Halloween is over ladies, let’s get started. Step 1 - Partner with God - because He can guide you and make your business better than you can ever imagine. Step 2 - Decide what you want to do for your business and who you’re going to serve- what’s your gift that you’ve been given and that you want to share with people. Step 3 - How much time - part-time or full time, how many hours you have and want to use for your business so that you know what to focus on in the amount of time you have. Step 4 - Decide what you want to name your business and register your business name with the state you live in.  If you’re having a hard time deciding on a name, just use your first and last name for now. Step 5 - Create your first piece of content

Aloha sisters! I want to share with you what it means to have a CREATIVE business. IT’S WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE! I’m not trying to be funny, but you can create and have whatever kind of business you want and that’s the beauty of a creative business. I can almost guarantee that you love to create beauty and there’s something so magical about that and sometimes it’s hard to explain because it’s just what you do.  These are a short list of what it means: it’s where you put your heart and soul you use your God-given creative gifts and put something that you create out into the world It’s something that you care about deeply and it comes from your heart and you create something that’s special to you It expresses a part or all of who you are and your core values It’s fulfilling where you wake up everyday feeling excited about your life and what you’re creating you bring to life what exists in the spiritual and bring it into the physical world where you are serving other people for free and in exchan

Aloha sisters, I wanted to do a wrap up about what I've been talking about in episodes #71 to #74 which is mindset. And it's been an interesting journey learning about mindset. And I hope you found great value in what I'm talking about and the things that I'm sharing. Mindset is so important and it has to be talked about a lot more than it already is. In episode #71, I talked about what is mindset and I tried to describe it in a different way. Not in a scientific or technical, but I tried to just describe it as like if I were having a conversation with you if you're sitting right here with me. In episode #72, I titled it this specific title on purpose and the tile is “if you set your mind to it!”, like WHAT!  You have to understand what that means and you have to have somebody help you to understand what that means as well. In episode #73, I talked about getting an upgrade, you know, do you want an upgrade to your mindset? I know I do.  And I shared about how you have to come from a place of love, and you hav

You have free will to choose, also known as agency. You do have a choice on what kind of mindset you want to have. Mindset is like a bucket full of all different things like your beliefs and how you view yourself. Your Mindset is not fixed.  In my 30 years of working with women, the only thing that makes it seem like they have a fixed mindset is because fear shows up and gets in the way of them being open to possibilities. Write down what kind of mindset you want.  Do you have a mindset that’s not serving you very well?  Do you want to upgrade? With mindset, you have to choose what you want, so think about it and decide today.

I’m here to help you use your God-given creative gifts that are waiting to be set free, and to have purposeful fulfillment! I want to ask you ‘do you want an upgrade? An upgrade to your mindset’?! In the last two episodes #71 & #72, I've been talking about mindset, because I find it fascinating what it's about. If you haven't had a chance to listen to those two episodes, please go back and listen to them after this. It's really interesting to learn about mindset because how you think will always create your reality and I've had a certain set of thought patterns of how I think of things in a certain way over and over.  All we do and say and how we live is all what we've learned from when we were a child growing up and all the different influences.  And now as an adult, you decide how you want to live. But how you grew up will always come into play, unless you make a conscious decision and that you become aware of what you're thinking and what you want. Because of all those reasons I want to talk about upgr

Yesterday on episode #71, I talked about mindset like what in the world is mindset. I think it's kind of like, a topic that needs many discussions or many opportunities to learn about it. So I want to talk more about it today. I titled this episode: If you set your mind to it. WHAT!  Because have you ever heard anybody say that to you “if you just set your mind to it.”?! Okay, what does that mean? Have you ever thought like that like, okay, I don't know how to do that?  Can you just show me, or like explain.  But what I think it all comes back to is, your mindset is a whole bucket of things. It's what you believe in, the thoughts that you have and how you were raised, and more. So you start to believe things about yourself and just because you believe something doesn't make it true, question what you believe, and about your mindset and what you're thinking. If you have a positive mindset that you can learn new things and do things, even though it's hard, that'll help you to be able to learn and grow and chang

I’ve been hearing a lot of people talk a lot about mindset and even though I was introduced to the term mindset, I still had a hard time understanding what that really means. And for that reason, I want to talk about mindset all week, so that you and I can have a better understanding of what mindset is and why it matters in our lives. There are many different definitions from various sources that I share in this video. To me, it sounds like mind-set is only one way of thinking and that there’s no other way. My understanding of mindset is a set of ideas, beliefs, and things about how you think and how you want to live your life. Come on this mindset journey with me this week.

In this episode, I talk about creativity because people seem to have their own definition of what creativity is or to create. Creativity is everywhere, everything that you see in the world is a creation. The word create means to bring into existence. So when you're creating something, you're bringing something into existence that wasn't here physically, in front of you, and here on earth. One of the synonyms for creativity is using your imagination. It's also important to use your imagination as part of the creation process. Get a notebook and every morning, write down what's going on in your head, what you're thinking, and all of your creative ideas.

This is a continuation of the video from last week with the same title - What Do You Give Yourself Credit For? And I hope you did the exercise that I suggested that you do which was to write down on paper all the little things that you’re not noticing that you can give yourself credit for. Doing that exercise helps me to catch myself when I’m thinking negative thoughts first thing in the morning because one negative thought can lead to more negative thoughts. It will help you to catch yourself too when you’re thinking negative thoughts. Our thoughts lead to everything we do in our lives. You have worth and value and I’m here to tell you that!

What do you give yourself credit for?  Ask yourself that question and just give it a minute, because a lot of the times, we don’t give ourselves credit for the things we do. We work really hard at certain things in our lives and then when we’ve gotten really good at something, we don’t give ourselves credit. We really have to work on our mindset and our thoughts, because sometimes our thoughts are really not good thoughts. We have to give ourselves credit for the things that we’ve worked hard for. Every day, write down on paper what you can give yourself credit for. Enjoy! Let me know if this video has helped you. Mahalo for listening.

Can you tell by looking at this T-shirt in the video that it's pulling to the left? This shirt was really inexpensive and it's really thin, lightweight, and really cool to wear.  I bought it because it's hot here in Hawai'i and I wanted to wear it at home. But because it was inexpensive, it was made really cheaply. I talk a little about how a shirt is supposed to be cut out from the fabric and what happens when the shirt is NOT cut out of fabric the right way. When the shirt is not cut the right way, it will pull to one side when you wear it and I see this a lot on people. And you may not even notice or recognize it at first. If the shirt is really cheap in price it may not be worth buying it with your hard-earned dollars. Mahalo for listening.

Do You Treat Your Clothes Differently Depending On How Much You Paid For It? This is something that is pretty common that I’ve noticed for people to treat their clothes differently depending on how much they’ve paid for it. People also behave differently in their clothes if it’s more expensive but if it was cheap or on sale, they pass it off as if it doesn’t matter how they treat their clothes. But I would say even if you didn’t pay a lot of money, still treat it like it was something that was a little bit more expensive. Get into that mindset of how you’ll treat your clothes because if you tend to act like you care for your clothes no matter how much you paid for it, it will make a difference in how you act, how you sit, how you stand, you’ll be more careful when you’re eating to make sure that you don’t spill anything on it. You’re using your hard-earned dollars to pay for your clothes so it’s important to take care of it and the things that you have. It will also make a difference when you wash your clothe

Cheap vs expensive, how do you live your life? You have to have money to live on but you don’t haveto think about living a life where you’re thinking that you always have to have a cheap mindset. Your finances have a lot of emotional pull on you. Do you look at life as having to Cheap or do you look at lifelike - I’m worth it so I’m going to pay a little bit more. Remember that you have dreams to fulfill. How you feel about yourself will usually determinehow you will live your life. Iʻm her to tell you that you have worth and value! Enjoy!

A lot of women have a protruding tummy in the mid-section that can become a very self-conscious area.  There are a lot of things that can happen to women that affect our tummy area like, hormone changes, pregnancy, and age. Luckily there are things that you can do to hide your tummy if you have one. Mahalo for listening.

I want you to be OK with you being unique and for you to beOK with being yourself, this is something that so many women struggle with. They are not embracing who they are because of comparison. We are more than a 3D person, we have personalities, feelingand all the other things that make up a human being. We’re created to be unique on purpose and we come to earth with our own unique characteristics. We start to learn as we get older that we are different and thenwe start to compare ourselves with other people. Think about how you can get back to who YOU are. What’s so beautiful about this world is that we’re all unique Watch and find out what makes YOU so special! Be OK with being yourself and be OK with being unique! Mahalo for listening.

How you show up in your life is something that is a hard thingto talk about, but we need to talk about it. We have to improve and get better as we get older. How do you want to show up in your life, how do you wantto be? Ask yourself each day-how do you want to show up everywhere you are, everywhere you go and in everything you do. We can choose to be happy and have joy. Decide and make that decision today and be that person thatshows up in a better way each day. Mahalo for listening.
