So typical of you to see the good side of a bad situation. :)
You will succeed at whatever you do as you have such a positive attitude. This will probably give you the push that you need and the self hypnosis class that you did this week came at just the right time to give you confidence in your abilities.
Good luck even though you don't need it as you will make your own luck :D

Thank you so much LOVE!!! I am brainstorming and thinking off all the WONDERFUL things I will be able to do with all this new free time of not having to work for SOMEONE ELSE, but working for me!! And them letting me go, is a blessing in disguise I'm sure!! Now, I just want to rip of the disguise !! LOL!!! :) I think it will be the push I need!
 
....even though I lost my job.....I am remaining VERY POSITIVE!!! :D!!

...I have a whirlwind of ideas on how to market myself, and DO IT!!!

...The scales are tilting towards my favor and I am OFFICIALLY 157 lbs!!! That means I smashed 13 pounds in 2 weeks!!! 170 to 157!!!! WoohooO!!!!!
 
Wow awesome smashing Alta!! I'm sorry to hear about your job but it's so true that it's for the best! I know you will succed on your own - you always do!!!
 
Hi Alta, As usual you are turning the negative into a positive. Your life is constantly changing & you are always just one step ahead, not waiting for it to catch up with you. A human dynamo indeed! I admire how you are coping Alta. Good for you smashing that fat as well! That expression is now in my lexicon. I love it. It's much better than just losing it. If you lose it, you may find it again. Smashing fat = smashing the crap out of it so it won't fight it's way back. I love it!
Will you still want to know us all when you're FAMOUS Alta? LOL.
You looked so confident & in control in the videos. You are truly an inspiration Alta. You are feeling the fear & doing it anyway. Much love, xoxo Cate
 
You guys, thank you!!!

I'm going to go to the networking convention tonight and make the BEST of it and get tons of names of people who want to book a session!! WOOHOO!!! Hope I can get like AT least 20 people who want to come in for sessions!!!

I've done a lot of planning lately and I figure I need 15-20 clients a MONTH only, (which now with all the time I have I can see that many in 1-2 weeks!)...to book 3 session packages for $150 each client and maybe some weight loss packages a month for 8 sessions for $500 and I'll be GOOD! :) Gonna give myself the CHANCE though!

....ONE MORE POUND SMASHED TODAY!!! 156!!!!! :cheers2: 14 lbs in 2 weeks!! TIGHTTTTT!!!! The key has been cutting my portions by a lot!!!! Gonna REALLY watch it this weekend in Mexico at the wedding...EXTRA time!!! Want to come back feeling LIGHT!!

Alta, I was going to say how sorry I was to hear about your job, but you know what?!? I'm not!! Because the oddest things happen in life for the right reasons. Think of it LIKE the self-hypnosis seminar - you were just about dying to do ANYTHING to get out of what you thought was going to be the worst thing to have to do, then when you got there, you loved it. You got fired...but you know what, sounds like just the opportunity you need to really GO FOR IT on the hypnotherapy practise. I know you can network your ass off and convert pro-bono clients to paying clients and now you have the time to slot them all in.

I got made redundant when I was 22 from an investment banking job where I was earning a fortune. It was a huge shock and I sobbed and wailed all the way home on the train. But the payout paid for my postgrad studies at uni - I wouldn't have swopped that experience for the world and NOW I'm in a different field that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE. I mean, I wouldn't give up my job if I won the lottery - I LOVE IT. So looking back, thank goodness I got made redundant....didn't feel like that at the time though!

The next few months may be a bit hard cash wise, but hon, that's got to make you hungry for success otherwise you wouldnt drive so hard at it!! I've always said if everything in life was easy, then it wouldn't feel like worth achieving - its got to be tough enough that not everyone can do it!

I know you are going to make a success of it. I JUST KNOW IT. So go for it girl, hand out all those business cards. I network like nobodies business in my line of work and I get calls months and months later when someone has an issue that I can help with professional - mostly because I am interested in people and talk to them to get to know them because i like meeting people rather than just going for the sell straight away. If you are a people person, invest in the relationship and the work will flow from it at some point.

If you have more time than clients because your calender isn't full - why not do 50% off a course of 3 or 4 sessions if people pay up front? That way you get the cash flow, they get convinced to come back and all you lose is 50% of the time rather than any money.

I agree it sounds like perfect timing that you got fired. I was just reading a book on attitude and self-fulfilling prophecies. They did this study where teachers were given a list of incoming students and next to each student was either a "poor," "average" or "excellent." And sure enough at the end of the year the students grades coincided with their rating coming into the year. Except the ratings from the beginning of the year were all random. The students were simply performing at the level expected of them based on the teachers preconcieved notions. There's a ton more interesting studies I've read, but it all really comes down to what you believe will become true. So keep on BELIEVING!

So as long as you really expect success yourself, and don't get negative and start self-sabatoging yourself, I know you're going to rock the world!

Hi Alta! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Also sorry about losing your job but I think you were destined to do this on your own! Great job with the weight loss lately. I think now, while you are on a roll, would be a great time to bust your butt and smash a few more pounds! Who knows, maybe you could even get below 150 soon? Either way, you're doing a great job of being positive.
