Wow, last week was full of new opportunities. No sooner had I quite loudly declaired that my committment was to growing MY business from MY home (OK, it was a cold and slushy day and I was bemoaning the fact that I had to leave my warm cozy bed to go to work), than I was invited to join the SelfGrowth.com community of experts and create a page on their website. It is a free networking and internet marketing community of experts in a variety of fields including Life Coaching. Everyone on the site has the opportunity to invite others on the site to become a “friend” thereby linking the sites together and increasing the networking and marketing exposure. The link to my experts page is http://www.selfgrowth.com/experts/lynn_browne.html

 Closer to home, I was invited to speak at the Saratoga Kennel Club’s March meeting. They are interested in learning more about Reiki and animals, dogs in particular.

Its interesting that I’m observing myself not being nervous about a public speaking engagement. Last year I took an adult ed class in public speaking because I had never been comfortable with it in the past and wanted to be able to more comfortably talk with people about what I do. I figured if I didn’t appear confident in what I had to offer, I couldn’t expect anyone else to have the confidence to hire me.

Of course, I had life coaching in mind at the time not Reiki. What I believe is this: Universe is giving me the opportunity to dip a toe into the public speaking waters with a topic I can speak comfortably and confidently about. All I need to do is use the information in the Reiki training manuals I wrote, information I’m already comfortable speaking about with my students. What a blessing!

So thank you Universe, for listening and for giving me these opportunites to grow my business and my confidence. I know this is the path I should be on and I appreciate the encouragement along the way.

In gratitude,

Lynn
