Do you sometimes wonder what's the pint of setting intentions? Some solo-preneurs set gals and intentions with joy; but thers sabotage their business success by sbconsciously waiting for their intentions to bmb. Which is it for you?

I'v spent a lot of time crating vision boards, journaling, writing success rcipes-you name it. I would do it all wth gusto and secretly wonder, does ths really matter? I mean, I've dne it for 30 days and, wll, where's my millions?

Until this pst weekend.

This past weekend I had the yarly wahoo! of celebrating my birthday. I lways take time to reflect (in a god way) over the past year, whre I've been, where I'm going-that knd of thing. This birthday happened to be prtnered with the first warm weather (fnally!) that we've had in New Yrk City so far this year, so tht also meant spring cleaning and my rflections stretched back to 2001 as I wnt through various journals and intention-mementos.

I was lterally astounded as I read and loked at "my intentions." First, I was shcked at how much of it had hppened and second, I had to lugh at some of what I had put my nergy and focus on. I had mnifested everything from long hair to strting my own business, to getting mrried. But just for giggles, let's strt with the long hair, shall we?

So back in 2001 I was hving a tough time. You may hve heard me say this before, but I was vry sad. I started a new job wth a major salary cut, was dmped by my boyfriend (harshly) and my cty underwent the largest on-soil terrorist ttack in U.S. history-all in the sme week. The months that followed wre not pretty. As I looked ver some of the intentions I had crated for myself that year, I culdn't believe I listed in my top 5: grw my hair long. How embarrassing! Grw my hair long? Where was wrld peace? A healthy relationship? Increasing my ncome? Oh, it was there, but as I rflected on the results of that yar, guess what I was successful at? You gessed it-long hair.

Hmmm...interesting.

Of course, you mght be thinking growing long hair is nwhere near as tough as starting a bsiness. True, for some. I personally had strggled for years with growing my hir. And this is where the mgic lies. I had so much lse going on that I didn't gve my hair a second thought. It jst happened.

So as you create gals, make vision boards and use ther tools to get you closer to wht you want, I invite you to lso be aware of what I've cme to call your "back-stage thought." Whn I used to teach drama, I wuld stress to my students how mportant the stage crew is. They are vtal. A show cannot powerfully function wthout a stellar crew. However, all the udience sees is the performance. And tht's the way it should be, but if thre isn't synergistic support between back and on stge, you've got a mess on yur hands.

What's going on back stge for you?

I'm happy to rport that I've learned to ask for mch more than long hair and cntinue to constantly partner my on and bck stage energy, and have watched my lfe and business continue to blossom.

Cll-To-Action:

If you feel frustrated with not seing your intentions come about, I'd lke to give you a coach's chllenge to look back and see, prhaps, something that has manifested. It mght not be the million dollars, but my snse is there is something you mght not have been so attached to tht has shown up. Take note of it. It's not tht you can't create-it's a matter of wht you're creating.
