And be sure to listen to the "Getting The Secret" call Andy and I did last week:

People really loved the call as did we. Andy and I were overwhelmed with all the lovely comments folks made after the call. Here’s what people are saying:

Wow, Andy. This was a great call. And I am now a HUGE Maryam Webster fan. She does a great job of straddling the woo-woo with the practical. And I’m so glad someone spoke to how the Law of Attraction isn’t just about getting stuff. It’s a path of deep personal unfoldment and enrichment. Congrats!

- Nancy Tierney  http://www.unconditionalconfidence.com/

This call was amazingly helpful! Thanks for opening the dialogue and for having Maryam on to give us a real how-to. I’ve been focusing on making my mental shifts since Halloween. This call really revved up my evolution! Thanks to you both!

We had a great time on the Tao of Ka-Ching Intro Class today. If you didn’t get a chance to listen to it, the replay is available on our Tao of Ka-Ching website, here:

And now, to answer a Very Important Question that came up on the call:

Baya, on the call from the U.K. mentioned her overwhelm at the bewildering array of different things to do to boost her business and increase pro.fits. She’s already spending most of her time working, but says she would need several days to study a tool like Google Adsense, for example. She concludes with "..in the meanwhile, I am not making any money! I am lucky because I have a good practise but would like to expand it much more"

Baya, I regret we didn’t have the time to go into this on the call - I wish we’d had another hour!

We’ll definitely go WAY DEEP into this problem in the Tao of Ka-Ching class experience. But since this is such a WIDESPREAD problem, I’d like to give a bit more of an answer here. I don’t know your business or you, but I’m glad to meet you. :-)  I’d venture to say however, that you don’t have a solid foundation to your business, or that your foundation has changed significantly since you formulated your first business plan.

When I say business foundation I mean:

• You know exactly what your business vision, mission and purpose is, you know exactly what you offer and who you serve and exactly how you do that.
• You know who your ideal client is and you work with NO ONE but that kind of person.
• You have the granularity of your business down pat and have no suprises or sudden emergencies you can’t handle immediately because you have protocols put into place.
• Your business operations manual not only exists, but is up to date.
• You don’t waste time, ever. And you have at least one employee hired on at least a part time basis to take care of the busy work and mundanities, so you can concentrate ONLY on doing what you love.

That sound familiar? Have all this under control? No? Then it’s no suprise that you find yourself with little time and overwhelmed by all the options. Even if you work a day job, you can still  manage your time and create even more time than you think you have! And knowledge of the fundamental business elements above will let you know, instantly, what you need in terms of classes, resources and so-on to improve your business. With this knowledge you won’t be jumping on every bandwagon that rolls by, you’ll know which opportunities are a unique fit for your business.

Here’s some homwork for you Baya, and everyone else who has the same problem, straight from the Tao of Ka-Ching Homework archives - a little sneak peek for you!

It’s not going to be the most exciting thing you do all week, but you will get a very GOOD idea of where your time is going by completing this homework assignment. This is the first step in creating *more* time. And it’s this: document every FIFTEEN minutes through your waking day, for a week. You can do this simply by making a grid with every fifteen minute increment marked out from the time you wake up until bedtime (yep, bedtime). And yep, fifteen minutes. Twenty is too much, you can switch activities several times even in as low as the fifteen minute increment. So you’ll have  four opportunities an hour to make a real quick note of what you’re doing, and choose to do something different…if you want.

Use a shorthand system to mark the grid, such as "W" for work related activities, "F" for family time, "P" for scheduled personal time such as grooming, meditation, yoga, etc, "E" for exercise,  "R" for "recreation" such as reading non-work related material, non-work related web surfing, online gaming, television watching, going out for activities, "M" for miscellaneous - anything that doesn’t fit elsewhere. Make a small note on what you’re doing in each square of the grid. As the squares start to add up, you’re going to begin to see where the extra time in your day is hiding. 

This may not be as exciting as just floating through your day unencumbered, but remember that you’re like a sniffer dog on the trail of extra time. It’s there, it’s just doing a clever job of disguising itself among other activities. Sniff it out! Rebelling against the idea of documenting your days? That’s just fear inside you talking. This is usually fear of success (if you don’t identify as successful yet, there’s definitely fear there), fear of losing something you value through being more scheduled…the possibilities are as many as there are human beings out there.

Deal with this rebellion-disguised-as-fear using your favorite energy therapy method: EFT, ZPoint Process, TAT, BSFF or others.

There’s more to getting ahold of your time and knowing what to invest it in, that we will deal with in the Tao of Ka-Ching 90 Day Program. Try this exercise though - you’ll really get a LOT out of it!

In our ramp-up to the Tao Of Ka-Ching Service Business Maximizer Program, I’m answering questions from therapists and coaches who NEED TO KNOW how to build high grossing businesses. Sara U. asks the following two "Burning Questions" and I’m answering them.

Now, Sara’s first question:

"Can you honestly get a big
clientele using the term energy psychology or energy coaching?  Isn’t this too
"far out" sounding to the common "man?"  Is it better to have this as a part of
a regular coaching practice and bring it out when a person seems open to
it?"

My reply: Personally Sara, I wouldn’t use the term Energy Coaching (or psychology) in your advertising except as an addendum. You see, consumers just don’t care. They don’t care where you went to school, how long you worked on your grad thesis, what techniques you use or anything about you personally. What the prospective client cares the most about is "can this person help me with my problem?" and sometimes "can they do it faster than Method X, which I used for a year to no avail?"

Jargon generally speaking will not hook clients and make them want to know more about you or to hire you. They want to see from your advertising: "how fast and how well can you help me fix my problem?". So concentrate on that. Choose a population that really jazzes you to work with and concentrate your advertising on the problem or problems that they have.

I wouldn’t hide what you do however because Energy Coaching or Psychology might be your primary mode and you definitely want to acknowledge that. And too, once people come to know what it is, they will come to highly value it. You can certainly create mystique around your business by using the term Energy Psychology or Energy Coaching which will cause people to ask about what this is. This gives you an opportunity to educate and introduce the topic before they even come into your practice.

Personally, I don’t want to see clients who aren’t savvy to Energy Coaching or at least willing to give it a go. That is one of my Primary Client Filters. We’re teaching more about this in the Tao of Ka-Ching Program. If you don’t have good Client Filters, you could waste a lot of time and leave a lot of money on the table. Savvy coaches and therapists know who to take as clients and who not to, and max their earning potential by advertising only to the client’s problems and your ability to help them out.

One thing that advertising with Energy Coaching or therapy has in its favor, is that clients can easily learn the techniques and enhance their personal development between visits and also address traumas inline, in the client’s everyday life. This is tremendously attractive to just about anyone!

I would rather go to someone who had the clinical expertise plus cutting edge technqiues that can help MY particular problem I’m seeking help for - wouldn’t you?

So in summary, a combination of advertising HIGHLIGHTING your expertise and success rate in handling a particular problem for a particular population PLUS mentioning that energy therapies can drastically reduce time spent dealing with the problem is best.

An example from the Tao of Ka-Ching Program:  "We help coaches and therapists who aren’t making enough money and have clients that try their patience, learn how to fill their practices with clients they adore, plus make enough money to live on, have vacations, and save for retirement."

That’s specific, and to a very unique target audience. Further:

"We’ll help you bust your blockages to abundance with cutting edge energy changework methods you can learn and practice easily on your own."

This puts the energy therapy in the picture but highlights it against the *result* the client wants to see, coupled with ease of use. See how this works? No jargon, no confusing acronyms, just speaks to the problem and how quick and simple the answer is.

Try it! And let me know how you do - you can make a comment on this below, if you like.

Sara also asks:

First of all, if you’re in a private practice service business (Coaches, therapists, acupuncturists, chiropracters, etc.) and you’ve not got enough clients, are not getting enough profits or just flat need help to construct, market, take advantage of technology for your business and get off the rat-wheel, you’re going to want into Betsy’s and my :

This just in from one of my readers: "How do we get to the tipping point where we live our new perspective without regressing to our old  viewpoints and strategies?" - Peter H.

It’s a great question Peter, thanks for asking. And I don’t think there has been a one of us who have not at some point in our path (or many points) wondered "when the heck is all this work I’ve been doing on myself gonna kick in without a whole lot of work to keep it from backsliding?"

The quick answer is: by having a daily practice and sticking to it even when we don’t stick to it. Fall off the Path and climb back on again as soon as we remember the Path is there. Don’t beat ourselves up for falling off, just take that as a golden opportunity to become even more Conscious and Aware.

We all need to get that there is no one-shot magic pill that you take once and BOOM! New life assured for all time. Nope, doesn’t work that way. According to standard psychological measures, anything we wish to make a habit takes a minimum of thirty days continuous practice to put into longterm memory. And as far as I’ve found, that’s just the beginning - what you have to do to get it into your consciousness again and again on a daily basis. Doesn’t mean you’re "home free" by a long shot though.

If you really want to make a new change hold every day, then DO IT every day. If that means having a new viewpoint, then use your favorite energy therapy method to install that viewpoint, again and again, every day. Meditate on what you want as a sacred practice.

Ghandi said: "Be the change you wish to see in the world". And as you live that change, keep checking to see what the strength of the new viewpoint is (or whatever your new perspective might have you do, be or have) before you practice. If not 100% - even 110%, then you still need to practice. If you find yourself slipping, you still need to practice.

Will the need to practice ever stop? Probably. In time you’ll find these things you want are engrained, like creases in old leather into the fabric of your life. Remember when you first learned a skill like driving a car? In the beginning, for the first year or so, it was a tricky operation coordinating many parts at once. You may have broken a sweat just thinking about all there was to coordinate. A few years later, you’re an old pro, with no need to run through that mental checklist you probably had when you first started out.

When you can smile about the thing you practiced over and it is no longer a stressor but a part of you, then it is time to let that thing go and replace it with another….or not, as you choose. 

But do get used to the idea that practice is a daily thing. Just like brushing your teeth. In fact, that’s a great time to do this kind of practice. When you get up in the morning and head into the bathroom - rejoice! You’ve got five or ten minutes, brushing, shaving and so on, that you can also engage in practice and meditation on the kind of person you want to be this day.

Even the Dalai Lama, experienced monk and meditator that he is, says that he deeply values his daily practice. Not because he fears backsliding, but because it reminds him of who he wants to be and indeed…who he *is*.  Over and over, daily practice. His state of being as ours, is reinforced by daily practice.

And when I speak of practice, this is not a religious thing, but the act of recreating anew each day the world you want to live in, beginning with the only thing in it that you can change: yourself.

We all want the magic pill, the "one shining moment that changes everything forever". And we do have those moments, but to use the zen saying, "Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightement, chop wood, carry water." It’s the same with installing, living and being from a new perspective.

Have a stellar day Peter, thanks for this question!

I was on penicillin for this whole week after my gum surgery, and could feel the toxins from that and the drugs they gave me during surgery building into yuck, so I decided to take a bath. I mostly shower, but when I take a bath I often indulge in my own patented process "Auntie M’s Daily Detox" bath. Gentle enough you can do it every day if you like, and helps rid the body of the toxins that can build up in even a clean-living body, just from the stress of modern living. Here’s how:

Pre-Preparation: First, use a vegetable fiber brush (nylon is too abrasive to the skin) to vigorously dry brush your entire body inwards toward your heart - up from the feet and down from the neck (leave the face for a rough washcloth in the bath). This will exfoliate the top layer of skin that often clogs our pores and prevents us from detoxing effectively. This will get your heart going, so wait until you’ve calmed down and cooled off a little before you hop in the bath.

The Bath Itself: Into a very warm (not boiling but as hot as you can take) bath put a pound of sea salt, a pound of epsom salts and a pound of baking soda in the bath, and swirl to mix. I add a few drops lavender oil for its harmonizing and generically curative effects. You might see the water turn a funny shade as the toxins are pulled out of your pores. If it looks muddy , gray or even pink, that’s fine, that just tells you the salts and soda are doing their work.

Soak as long as you can, rubbing your skin at least once all over with a rough washcloth (don’t use a nylon glove or cloth as this is too rough - stick to natural fabrics) to get even more dead skin and toxins off. This is a salt-rich bath and you don’t want to end up with a fine coating of salt crystals on your skin after you dry off, so drain your bath, then stand and rinse off thoroughly under a slightly cool shower. This will also wash off any remaining toxins and seal your pores. You should feel smooth as a newborn baby and feel wonderfully warm and glowing with health.

Afterglow: If you use any moisturisers after your bath, PLEASE make sure they don’t contain propyl glycol (antifreeze), anything ending in -paraben (methyl paraben, ethyl paraben), lauryl or laureth sulfate or any other toxic and carcinogenic cosmetic additives. Even some healthfood products can contain these. Don’t put back in what you’ve just taken out! Check labels for healthiest outcomes.

A great way to safely moisturize yourself is while still wet from your bath: take a spoonful of sesame oil (very light), grapeseed oil or coconut oil and rub it between both palms, smoothing over your entire body. This doesn’t feel greasy and if you like a bit of scent, you can add a scant drop of lavender, ylang-ylang or sandalwood, all of which are warming and harmonizing.

Keep yourself warm after such a bath - it’s good to take such a bath close to bedtime and to bundle up and go to bed right after. Your sleep will be deep and sweet when you do this.

Maryam’s Fantastic DENTAL ADVENTURE PART III:

Continuing the saga of my gingival graft, I’ve gotten dozens of emails from people asking how I survived and even thrived through such an allegedly painful procedure, PAIN FREE. There’s a clue in the word "allegedly", meaning, what people tell you.

Ever hear of a thought virus? A thought virus is a negative or positive thought (though most identified as viruses are usually negative) that a person believes so strongly that they try to inject this thought into someone else by telling them in a highly emotional manner, "for their own good". Everyone knows someone who had something similar and boy, did it hurt! (it took forever to heal, something went wrong during surgery, etc.)

People were telling me the surgical procedure would be terribly painful "for your own good, to prepare you". What they were preparing me for, is to catch the virus that they have - the belief that a situation HAS TO BE a specific way, the way they may once have experienced it, or had a friend or relative who experienced it, and injected the person with THEIR thought virus.

A great way to innoculate yourself against thought viruses is to say, at the very point you realize you’re being "infected" with a negative thought: "Cancel that! Cancel, Cancel, Cancel!". Say it loudly and forcefully.  Stop the other person from speaking if necessary, then kindly tell them why you just said what you did. After all, they were only trying to do you a favor and don’t have any idea they’re actually harming you. Then tell yourself the belief you would RATHER have, and feel free to share that with your friend.

Here’s an extra tip about sharing positive beliefs: When correcting a friend who has just tried to give you a thought virus, ask them if they wouldn’t join you in repeating your positive belief with you. If they don’t want to, that’s fine. But the fact that you asked will begin creating a rising new consciousness of what can be within them.

Be nice about it. But do ask them to stop speaking negatively about or in speculating on YOUR (upcoming) EXPERIENCE in your presence. This is akin to telling someone you will not tolerate their racial slurs on yourself or your friends. They may be ignorant to the fact that a certain name is inherently offensive and simply need education. Just so, the Thought Virus Injector feels he or she is being a pal to warn you. But these are other people’s experiences - not the way yours can or will be. Y

You have choices in the matter, and the first choice you need to make is that you do not have to repeat the history of others, even of a thousand others who had a particular kind of experience.

So step one in the process to Blissful Thriving after a Medical Procedure is to look for the thought viruses that you might already have been injected with and note them down, while actively telling people - even medical personnel - that they don’t have your permission to give you further information along the line. A thorough briefing including "there might be some pain" is great, but going over it again and again is not useful to the doctor or helpful for you.

Step two would be to deal with the thought viruses and the limiting beliefs they form as they come up for you, but that is the subject of another post….

Ahem. Hem. Yes. Hear Ye, Hear Ye, this: "HEALTH ALERT & BRIEF COMMERCIAL FOR DENTAL HEALTH"

So if you’re reading this and have a potential interest in your own gum health, you might be wondering what causes gumline or gingival recession. Though my dentist said it was genetically caused, I know drinking acidic substances are bad (goodbye coffee, my occasional diet soda and the heavier teas…) and vigorous tooth brushing is directly detrimental. (thanks Dad, for insisting I "attack" teeth with brush as a kid!) Gum-line defects occur when erosion of the gums exposes the sensitive upper root portion of a tooth, below the enamel line.

Gumline erosion is common, especially as people age. If you’re over forty, you might want to have an intimately close peek at your gums on both sides of the tooth. Gingivitis, inflammation of the gums and gumline recession has been implicated in heart disease, so it’s best to get it fixed ASAP. Brush gently, in tiny circles. Floss. Every. Single. Day. I hear you saying "but my gums bleed when I floss!" Of course they do. You have gingivitis! Flossing actually toughens the gum up and they stop bleeding within a week of flossing AND become more impervious to bacterial damage.  And if you want to know how to NOT HAVE PAIN DURING DENTAL PROCEDURES….keep reading.

<END BRIEF COMMERCIAL FOR DENTAL HEALTH>

And back to my story, for those who are still reading…

All the "thought viruses" I was given by all those who said it would be "worse pain than childbirth" went into the void. I used a mixture of NLP and hypnotic processes, Tapas Acupressure Technique and kinesiology exercises and had NO pre-op anxiety, NO pain whatsoever during or after the operation almost 48 hours later and no loss of function in my daily life.

Last time, with the emdogain, I had significant discomfort with the same anaesthesia used. I took one pain pill then and still have the rest of that bottle three years later. This time, I haven’t had any discomfort, and don’t intend or anticipate any. I programmed myself for swift healing and that’s happening too. How cool is that?

I told the doc’s secretary I was in no pain when she called today to inquire about how many painkillers I’d downed. Full bottle of oxycodone just sitting there. Haven’t touched it and won’t. When I have stitches out, will tell doc the same thing. I’ll offer him slots for referrals to other patients who would like to have the same intra and post-surgical benefits. Such an opportunity!

Many have asked "what DOES it feel like then"?  It’s akin to when you burn your mouth on a hot drink and the roof of the mouth sloughs off. The burning sensation I never had, but the feeling of sloughing is there. It’s not pain by any dimension, just a slightly odd or interesting feeling. I programmed myself for "slightly interesting feelings" so that’s no suprise.

The roof is where the graft skin was taken, and I was suprised to find it such a delicately thin slice of skin - I’d expected it to be far thicker. There is a line of blue nylon sutures along either side of the roof of my mouth, just above the upper molar gumline. The part where the roof skin was grafted onto the six lower molars has no feeling whatsoever, unless I touch or pull my chin or lower lip. And then it’s only what might be called a "tentative" or "slightly fragile" feeling. Much like the new skin grown under a peeling sunburn. And I’m too smart to touch it much!

I hope this has been informational and fun…or at least interesting for you to read, and if you do have receding gumlines, that you’re prompted to start taking care of them and yourself!

And again, if you’re interested in joining the MINOR SURGERY PAIN RELIEF STUDY, just call the hotline here:  641-985-5700  Input Access Code: 467157 then press extension 7.

Looking forward to speaking with you and getting you going on PAIN FREE minor surgical interventions. And I promise you, I WILL NOT dwell too long on the 3rd Stage Turkey and Vegetables baby food. Not tooooo much at least, though it was quite important in the overall scheme of things.

Want to know what I’m talking about and how the cat saved the day?  ("Anoofka! Annnooffffka! Get you fuwwy bo’ in hya no yun wady!")

Stay tuned for Part III: "How To Survive A Gingival Graft So Successfully You could just Scream For Joy".

Warm Holiday Wishes, Maryam Webster, M.Ed. M.NLP Wellness and Pain Relief Coaching

Here’s something my buddy Andy would describe as "toad-ally FOOOO-GLY" …..but ver-r-r-r-y interesting. Ladies and gentlemen, the horrifying pre-gumline graft recession:  Bleah!! Blouwoeooeoeoeoeoeoh! Geeyakkata-ick!

It’s a terrible thing, truly awful to have happen. The phrase "becoming long in the tooth" suddenly takes on a new and awful meaning. A meaning to the tune of nearly $4,000 that insurance pays only a quarter of. Yeee-ikes!

How do I know so much about this subject?  Yesterday I had a gumline restoration to six lower molar teeth. After several years of watching my lower gumline go south, I bit the bullet, sucked it up and scheduled myself for a gumline graft with the best periodontal surgeon in Silicon Valley. 

Dr. R. tried Emdogain on the upper molars a few years ago and it was only partially effective. Emdogain causes tissue to grow, but unfortunately it didn’t grow enough and has partially recessed again. Now you may think I might look like a snaggled toothed country cousin, but these defects largely didn’t show when I smiled. Yep, my smile pretty much looks like the picture over on the left of my blog here.
