This morning I was thinking about what I do with my time and what motivates me to continue doing what I do with my time.  This morning I had a A-HA moment that has prompted me to share my thoughts with you and perhaps, if you haven’t already, you will have your own A-HA moment as a result.  The experiences I have had over the past year have helped me to see clearly the why, how and what and I have you to thank for that clarity.

Recently, with the planning of the charity fashion show, I have come to realise that people really do want to help me succeed.  For the support from Merrilee, Lina, the models, the women who bought tickets, the staff at Chasters and many others behind the scenes I truly feel blessed for the network of people that support me.  The fashion show was a massive success because of that support.

Today my A-HA moment came when the answer to what motivates and drives me became resoundingly clear.  For this clarity I thank Candace, Lenora, Margo and Judi for showing me what it is that I love most about the path I have chosen.

I love to help women match their outer beauty to their inner beauty; to see the sparkle in their eyes when they put on an outfit that fits them perfectly – this is intoxicating to me and what drives me to do even more.

Thinking about how I can do more I have come up with these thoughts: I will continue to represent EVEology as a consultant because this Canadian company offers a good quality product and their philosophy regarding women matches my own and I want to offer more value-added services in order to turn this part-time job into a full time career.  Through group workshops and personal consultations I want to:

• help women wear confidence and compliments everyday with of their outfit choices
• help women create healthier wardrobes that work for their pocketbook and the environment
• help women to adopt a “less is more” attitude and change the way they purchase clothing in Canada
• help women learn to love what they have (body image) and have what they love (great outfits)

I am thinking of using a commercial space (likely in Sechelt but not decided yet) to offer ongoing workshops, shopping opportunities and consulting services in a central location rather than my home.  Committing to a commercial space is a huge leap for me and your support is vital.  My question to you is: would you continue to support me as a client and referring my services to others if I were in an easy-to-access central location?  I would appreciate hearing your answer to this question and comments/suggestions if you have any of those as well.

By the way the original inspiration that prompted me to send this note came from a video Dave Allen shared with me this morning.  It makes sense to me to share this gift with you.  Use this link to see what gave me my A-HA moment. http://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action.html
