First the Vision
Last week I began a new Mastermind group and after hearing from everyone about what they wanted to accomplish in the next 90 days with the support of the group, I led them on a brief visioning with the help of some vivid inner senses.
The rational brain can sometimes get in the way, by teaming up with it’s ally, the ego, and make a mockery out of our visualizations. That leaves them falling flat and ineffective.
Have Fun With It
To have some fun and get around that rational brain thinking too small, I called upon some senses that can be overlooked in “visualizations”; sound, touch, taste and even smell.
When was the last time you thought about what your vision of the future smelled like, tasted like, or felt like beneath your touch?
Needless to say, the whole group lit up with excitement over pink, yellow and even gold visions that smelled like fresh rain on steamy asphalt or vanilla waffle cones but downy or silky to the touch.
Get to The Glory
When the inner vision evokes that much passion, you know, energetically, that your “order to the Universe” is going to be received clearly.
Have some fun with it yourself. Or better yet, come join me and get the kind of support that supports you and your business.
I lead small, highly personalized, targeted and results-oriented groups each week for entrepreneurs, serious about creating dynamic changes in their businesses and personal lives. We have a great time and we get more done together than any of us could alone!
Not like any mastermind you’ve ever experienced; call me if you’d like to discuss whether this format might work for you and your business. 541-488-1678
The Difference Between Yearnings and Cravings, Mastermind Moments

We All Have Things We Want
But do these things come from our ego self, and can therefore be nothing but impermanent, or from a deeper part that wants to expand and express more of it’s beingness, thereby lasting forever?
That was a question that arose, believe it or not, in response to some deep questioning by one of the participants in a business mastermind?
What came of the conversation, shared among the members, was the idea of the difference between “yearnings” and “cravings”.
There is no end of craving.
Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness.
Therefore, acquire contentment.
Sivananda
Yearning vs. Cravings
People came to agree that cravings were something we hoped to satisfy with some consuming or acquiring. But ultimately, cravings can only be satisfied temporarily.
Yearnings, on the other hand, were thought to come from a deeper, more permanent place inside us. They are an invitation to a call to action. Explored, answered and acted upon, yearnings can yield actual changes to our being that can last…forever.
Take the yearning to become a musician, or an artist. Once acted upon, and a new skill set is practiced, the satisfaction of expressing music or painting can not be taken from us.
Or consider the yearning to enjoy the business that we began to be independent, practice a unique talent, or just to experience challenge. This yearning can actually be calling us to be more capable, able, and to provide a greater service that is needed in the world. Again, once earned, these will go on.
At the innermost core of all loneliness is a deep and powerful yearning
for union with one’s lost self.
Brendan Francis
What Do You Long For?
So what are you experiencing, craving? Or yearning?
If it’s yearning, what is it calling to you to become? You don’t have to explore on your own. Get the support you need to make the progress you want.
Wish you had a safe, supportive, structured, place each week that could aid you in becoming who and what you want this year?
I lead small, highly personalized, targeted and results-oriented groups each week for entrepreneurs, serious about creating dynamic changes in their businesses and personal lives. We have a great time and we get more done together than any of us could alone!

Support That Magically Alters Reality

After just one week in my first Mastermind group, one of the participants revealed he had both contracted to sell, and sold the house…in one day!
He said it so casually, as if it were no big deal. But this was exactly what he’d expressed he’d been wanting, and experiencing some difficulty achieving, just one week before.
What made the difference? What helped clear the way for ease and effortlessness?
Well I’d like to think that the support structure he’d built for himself by attending my Mastermind 4 Maximum Momentum had done the trick. And you can create this for yourself. It’s easy if you know the essential component that makes the magic work.
The Magic is Engaged When Someone Listens,
Truly Listens
The mere act of being listened to by someone who totally believes what you want can happen for you, opens all sorts of channels and pathways for your good to start zooming towards you.
That supporter, offers no resistance to your desire, no speed bumps, detours or hazards, so your reality can suddenly deliver what you want toot-sweet.
One friend, one person who is truly understanding, who takes the trouble to listen to us as we consider a problem, can change our whole outlook on the world.”
Dr. E. H. Mayo
The important detail here is to choose only those people to listen and support you who are capable of hearing, seeing and knowing what you want as possible. This rules out most of our current friends and family, as they have been seeing, hearing and knowing us as a certain person for some time. Seeing us with fresh eyes might threaten their own status quo.
Look Outside Your Current Circle
So look outside your current, obvious circle. Choose to gather for support with people who have a skill set for genuine listening and the capability to be confident for you.
Being a Support to Others Attracts Supporters to You
If you haven’t yet found the people you’d like to support you on a regular basis, you can get into the attraction of support by allowing support to flow through you to others.
Practice active listening, listen without judgement or opinion. Listen to hear the strength, capability and vision for another. Not only will it be an enormous gift to them, but it will keep you in the energy of support and your own support will be magnetically drawn to you.
Want the Goodies the Fast Way?
Want to try a Directed Mastermind? I’m creating small groups of 5-6 who meet on a teleconference bridge line or face to face through the miracle of teleconferencing, if you prefer; once a week, for one hour each meeting. I direct the meetings to keep the energy moving and the creative ideas flowing.
