As a person who helps people do exactly this -- permanently clear expensive personal blocks (which they are not always fully aware of) so they can perform better -- stretching to my next level is also my core focus. And I use the same method I offer to them: my healing process, culled from 15 years of experience and a few key methods. I also have regular healing work done from other healers and strongly believe all healers should receive regular healing work from others, since we often are blind to our biggest limitations. :) Currently, my personal focus is on clearing limitations around receiving support (esp. accepting it graciously and FEELING supported!) The next issue will be clearing my fear of hurting others, which has been a subconscious excuse for not sharing my more powerful work. Isn't life a fascinating journey? Thanks for your insightful videos, Mel!!

Comment on Entrepreneurial Freedom Means Taking Time Off (Here’s How) by Bobbi Dust

Bobbi Dust — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 22:21:26 +0000

I used to be one to never have a day off until about a year ago. After a while, I got burnt out and found that I wasn't productive at all. I have set office hours that I keep and I don't turn on my computer or deal with email on the weekends at all. I feel renewed and recharged on Monday morning; ready to take on the world!

Very inspiring video Melanie. My business isn't there yet in terms of giving me the freedom and flexibility I desire. But some weekends I do not turn on my laptop, check email, etc. And it is a GREAT mental break. To be able to do that for 3 weeks and make money as you expressed in your video...I imagine it was heaven. Continued success to you. Stephanie.

Comment on 4 Signs of Awakened Leadership by Moni Ramsey

Moni Ramsey — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 23:58:58 +0000

I totally agree with all of what you said. I have recently joined Herbalife since November 5th, less than 6 weeks. I am new but I have used the product and happy with my results. What I like most of this business is that it tells something; there is a mission behind it. What I am trying to explain to my folks that the person who joins this kind of business is not a salesman like any other; your are selling wellness; a good life style; good relationships. We are selling knowledge and we open a new world full of information. If the distributor will not understand that; if he runs only after money I am sure he will not succeed. Even if he makes money he will not feel the pleasure he gets when he fulfills this mission. I also thought that there must be other ways of approaching people, other new ideas in order to minimize the silly comments from customers you are dealing with. Many companies nowadays are selling similar products; but they are just selling; but we are not we are different. That's why we should be dealing differently ... How??? We should think more...

Comment on Defunk Your Way to Entrepreneur Success by Melanie Benson Strick

Melanie Benson Strick — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:35:16 +0000

Marilyn, I often hike to get out of my funk too. And yes, sometimes we have to do what we don't like to do to make our business work. But when it causes us to get into a funk and not be in action, I think its worth looking at other ways to get things done, would you agree? Thanks for stopping by with the comment. =-)

Hi Melanie: What gets me out of a funk is exercise - going to a Zumba class or for a long walk or bike ride. I'm currently switching from a print magazine to a primarily digital magazine and concerned about how I will reach advertisers and clients. While I don't like cold calling either, it's what is needed to pay the bills.

Comment on How to Chunk Your Way Out of Overwhelm by Jill Koenig Goal Setting

Jill Koenig Goal Setting — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:52:09 +0000

I am a big fan of chunking. I have found over the years that when I have balance in my life and my goals are in harmony with each other, I experience little overwhelm. When I do, it usually means that I'm out of balance in one of the other life areas (fitness, social, etc). The trick for me is not only knowing what needs to be done to achieve the goals and outcomes I am committed to, but also to schedule time in my life for it all. I begin each day with morning rituals that nurture me as a person before I dive into my work day. Because I know there is space reserved on my calendar for 'me' I am able to undertake my most challenging goals from a place of confidence and peace, no matter how monumental those other projects may be.

Melanie - your #3 step was my a-ha moment from this week's video! When you said my goal may be aligned but I may not see it that way or feel that it is because I am running it through the filter of my "story" or how I "thought" it should be....really hit home. That's where having a mentor or mastermind group comes in to play...to challenge those beliefs or thoughts! Good STUFF!!!

Hi Melonie, yes this video is helpful, it puts a written formula on a basic action plan, it helps to "chunk' an overwhelming project or goal into smaller tasks, and by doing so It creates momentum for me because I see step by step progress. It always seems to help to be able to complete a task, knowing I have a plan and can focus on things step by step. I also like the chunking because it fits into my rule of ____just do one thing!_____ when I feel overwhelmed. Thanks Melonie , I enjoy these...

Comment on How to Eradicate Limiting Beliefs by David

David — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:20:36 +0000

Hi Melanie, I found after many years of trying to figure out how to "solve" my problem that important thing for me was developing the habit of not considering any negative thought. I realized that there is NEVER anything there for me. I've learned to just let those self-limiting, doubting, negative thought go. BTW love your terrific look and positive attractive presence in you videos and for some reason the images is about a second behind the audio. Your visual presentation is a wonderful asset and I have to look away and just listen. It may be unique to my setup, so I just want to support you with one person's experience if helpful.

Comment on Achieving Your Goals with Power vs. Force by Robert

Robert — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 00:24:30 +0000

Hi Melanie - Most of the business projects I've done in the past were totally about "force" and therefore left me exhausted afterwards. No wonder I've been so reluctant to take on a number of new business ideas! My subconscious mind has been saying - no thanks, we don't want to go through that again! Thank you for sharing this distinction on work styles. I guess when Obi One said "Luke, use the Force" he wasn't talking about THAT kind of force!

Melanie Benson Strick — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 22:08:03 +0000

Great question Klara. I'm not sure its easy to answer here but I'd say I started by becoming aware when I was forcing something vs. aligning with my goals. Second, I had to learn to value what happens when I use my true power and realize the cost that force had on my energy and stress level. After that, it just comes down to having patience. =-)

Klara — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:41:45 +0000

Amazing message. Our level of consciousness is determing the perception of our reality and the way we approach our challenges. Many times people that are stuck in the level of force have two basic thoughts in common: "I am not good enough." and "I don't love myself." It would be great to hear from you how to move from the place of force to the place of power. Warmly, Klara

Thanks for being willing to show us your office, Melanie! Often we're made to feel like successful entrepreneurs have perfectly organized offices (which of course leaves the feeling of "what's wrong with me?") ... nice to know that even though you've built a huge business you still share our struggle for conquering clutter. Sometimes I think it's a losing battle because I work on so many projects at once, but I appreciate the reminder that we can tackle one area at a time. I just have to put it on my weekly calendar so it stays done!

Comment on Signs You Are in an Evolutionary Shift by BevAnn Bonds

BevAnn Bonds — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:52:33 +0000

I completely resonate with the tiredness, relevance, and low vibrations. I have always been a proponent of the power nap. Typically 12-15 minutes is enough to fully recharge me; however, lately I have needed anywhere from 30-60 minutes. Although I was not sure what was going on, I was "going with the flow." Regarding relevance, the business model that I have spent so much time "working in" was not working and I had no clue what to do about it or how to go about fixing it. And lastly, my tolerance for certain people and lots of noise has been very low. The allure of peace and quiet has been tremendous. For several months now I have been trying to figure out how to some changes in my business so that I can focus on my strengths and continue to grow. Earlier this week, three great things happened: First, one of my assistants, that has been working with me for three years, gave her notice. She graciously gave a 1 year notice to make certain that I have the right person (or people) in place to replace her. This is great because it gives me time to find the right people. And to fix a couple of other problems. Second, at lunch that same day, I figured out how to restructure my business. The restructuring of my business will allow me to put back-up systems and people into place that do not require me to be the back-up. Yay!!! And third, I saw your video. Your video allowed me to see that I am on the right track, what I am experiencing is normal, and I have to trust the process. Yay, Yay!! Thanks for all that you do! It is much appreciated and taken to heart! :)
