Let Your Heart Sing

Review of Inspired Women - Networking Dinner And Exhibition



Saturday, 20 January 2007

“Do what makes your heart sing”

This is the mantra we were chanting (in a very Jerry Maguire-show-me-the-money fashion) at the end of the day …

The Inspired Women event, did exactly that – it inspired us to do what makes us happy. The intimate affair, conceived and co-ordinated by the dynamic Vivid Occasions duo, Lillian Ogbogoh and Margaret Udofia, made the notion that ‘work is love made visible’ quite tangible.

This event, their labour of love, got us ladies networking, chatting, sharing our stories and since we were ladies-only, we could go back for seconds (and thirds) at the delicious buffet.

The seminar got underway, after we’d browsed each of the 14 exhibition stands – everything from handmade soaps, Swarovski trinkets and aroma therapy oils were on display. We then settled down to listen to the keynote speakers.

First we met life coach, Hanna Hunter– with her mass of ringlets and infectious attitude, we listened intently to her strategies on defining your dreams and goals and crystallizing the plan to achieve them.

So, we have the tools to get out there and do what needs to be done, but we also need to look the part.

Enter Audrey Khoumba, personal stylist and a lady who takes the business of dressing-for-success very seriously. At a glance, she assesses body type, eye colour and complexion (I’m a spring, by the way). Audrey works to maximize your wardrobe using clothing and colours that suit you, and takes lifestyle and budget into account.

Budgets – we all know how to budget, or do we? Heather Allen, mentor and debt advisor, had us all doing mental sums – taking money here to pay for that. This lady managed to pay off £30 000 worth of debt in just 3 years. It can be done! She offers all this advice and more on her website…

The day wrapped up with a lucky draw – I was quite jealous not to win the spa treatment. And I think I speak for myself and all the ladies I met, that we all left – gorgeous goodie bags in hand – with a glowing sense of self worth, defined plans for 2007, and a song in our hearts.

Let Your Heart Sing
Don't know and can't wait to find out. Well let me give you 3 ways to figure it out NOW. Before I give them to you, I want to give you a framework.

First of all, do not get stopped by the "I can't make money doing that" mantra. Save it for later.

2nd, I'll let you in on a secret...I still haven't decided what I am going to be when I grow up and I never will. What I do know is that I plan to do as many things that I can!

3rd, when you think that living in the status quo, in a job you despise, is good to do because you can't afford to take a risk - think again. What are your risking if you don't go for the quantum leap of what you truly want? The risk is that you won't get what you really want out of life.

Here's step #1:

Get out a piece of paper, journal or computer sheet and make a list of everything you love to do. Be as specific as possible....a not so good example is I love the way the sun feels on my face is not as good as I'd like to spend parts of my day working in the outdoors in a sunny climate.

Step #2

Picutre this. You've got 5 lives to live - you get to do it over 5 times and each time explore a different passion to the fullest. (you may need only 3 or you may need 10 - choose what works for you).

What would you do with each one? (secret - you may be able to do these all in one lifetime 'that information will come later in a teleconference!)

My example: In one, I'd be a famous writer and speaker. In another I'd lead tours of spiritual sites in Europe. In another, I'd be a sex therapist. In one I'd be a hermit and live on an island and read and write.

The best part is, you get to include all your interests in just one of your lives - they are all key parts of your essential self. And even better, is you can change your mind. Your lifeplan five or ten years from now may be quite different as new interests appear and old ones fade.

Step #3:

Look for the themes that keep popping up - highlight them. Brainstorm work you can do that use these things you love to do. You may start with a spin-off of your current occupation - I did that with a grant writing consultant business. You may have found a shortcoming in the products or services of others that you can improve. You may have asked "why isn't there...?" You may have seen an observed need. You may be able to teach, write and speak about your interests. The possibilities are endless!
