Milana Leshinsky: Musician Turned Millionaire Marketing Expert

Milana Leshinsky, Online Marketing ExpertLast week I had the honor of interviewing Marketing Expert Milana Leshinsky (Milana.com).

I was particularly pleased because I have gone through three or four of her online courses, and got great results with them. So I wanted you to meet her, find out all about her and her online marketing secrets.

After a childhood intensely focused on musical training, Milana emmigrated from the Ukraine in the late ’90s, expecting to continue her musiccal career. You’ll find out why that didn’t pan out, and how she jumped from music to enormous online marketing success – scared to death, not having known anything about computers or even what a mouse was!

You’ll also find out how Milana creates compelling marketing messages; why she doesn’t blink an eye over refunds; and how she discovered the secrets to membership site profits.

I was fascinated to find out why Milana insists on avoiding cleverness; how she finds out what her audience really wants (and why); and why it makes sense to sell your product before you even create it!

And, for those of you who shy away from charging high fees, listen up! Milana discusses why people will, indeed, pay your high-ticket fees; the value of specific packaging; and how to introduce yourself and your plan for instant recognition and sales.

Paul & Layne Cutright: Conscious Relationship Experts

cutright

I am so happy to be able to bring to you one of the most delightful couples I’ve ever met: relationship Experts Paul and Layne Cutright.

Do you have a conscious purpose underlying your relationships?

Paul and Layne do, and they have been cultivating and nourishing it for over thirty years.

When they first met, there was one of those lightning strike moments we all read about but rarely experience – they knew then they were in for something different. And indeed, it certainly has been.

You’ll be fascinated to hear what they have made out of their commitment, how they purposely function through a gateway of loving experimentation and curiosity, and how many people they have helped over the years because of their own love for one another.

Transparency to the max

One of the things I love best about them is their willingness to be transparent, share from the heart, and do it with humor.

cutright-bkYou’ll hear how they discovered their own ‘spiritual arrogance’ (that would be hard for anyone to admit!), how they had a deep ‘Undoing’ that lasted almost three years and that completely changed their lives, and how they got through all that to swing up again into a greater arena of service.

IDareYouRadio.comClick HERE or on the Daring Dreamers Radio Logo to the left to get to the interview.

You can get their wonderful, eye-opening book here: You’re Never Upset for the Reason You Think, 2nd Edition

AND – as a special gift to you Daring Dreamers who listen in to the Show, Paul and Layne have made it possible to get one of their most valuable courses – their excellent Heart-to-Heart Communication Program – for 50% savings! Thanks, Paul and Layne!

Here’s a tip from Straight from the Heart:

“Develop the ability, or at least the willingness, to see beyond others’ fears and limitations into their very heart of hearts.

“Regardless of the hardships or abuses that anyone has suffered, there is an untouched purity of spirit that may be brought forth simply by recognizing and acknowledging it.”

Layne and Paul Cutright
from their book, ‘Straight From the Heart’

I just love that. It makes me think of the space I like to be in when I’m doing a session with someone – empty of judgement, empty of agenda, guiding that still, powerful voice to come out from under all the layers of Other that have been piled on over the years.

It’s such an incredible experience when that happens! Suddenly all the anxiety, fear, anger, grief or sadness completely drains out of thm and this enormous nimbus of light envelops their body and the sun has reclaimed its residence in their hearts. It’s just lovely.

Why Was EFT Master Rue Hass’ Reputation On the Line?

EFT Master Rue HassYou’ll want to listen carefully to the tips Rue gives you about how to avoid the nightmare she went through.

What do you do if you’re an energy or EFT practitioner against whom your state has decided to stake a claim, claiming you are practicing therapy illegally?

Listen in to my interview with EFT Master Rue Hass as she tells us what she went through when the Colorado State Department of Regulatory Agencies tried to nail her for practicing therapy without a license.

It took months; but the most important outcome was something you may find surprising and deeply moving.

EFT Master Rue Hass InterviewPlease click on the I Dare You Radio icon to the left to go to the interview: there are four parts – I invite you to listen to all four short segments, and to pay close attention to the various tips Rue shares. Use the tips to avoid getting in red-hot-peepee trouble with The Man!

I invite you to join me in an experiment: let’s see if we can get every EFT practitioner we know to come here and listen to the audio and download the pdf Rue made for us!

Angela Treat Lyon Interview: Transitions Radio in Santa Fe, NM!

ATL-LEVI

I had the wonderful honor of being interviewed by Levi Ben Shmuel, who writes a great blog post for the Huffington Post, on the Sunday radio show in Santa Fe, NM that he hosts with 2 others.

I invite you to listen in on this shorty (5 minute) interview, where I describe graphically how big the problem of the Great Garbage Patch is: transradio.com.

They question me about my Paint 100 Paintings in 100 Days project to raise awareness of the problems around our consumption and discarding of plastic water bottles, and about the Great Garbage Patches in the oceans (there are five) – in the post called The New Good Life – John Robbins, Maitreya & A Floating Garbage Patch (show 1386) Sep 19th, 2010 Posted in Ecology & The Environment – Look for Hour #1. I was on the air from about minute 46 – 53.

And…as an extra bonus

I’m including Levi’s latest blog post – The Festival of Sukkot: 7 Nights, 7 Guests, 7 Inspirational Ways of Seeing.

I enjoyed it because he described a Jewish festival about which I had not one clue before. I was fascinated to discover about each of the 7 Guests, their essences, how they offer different gifts, and how to use these in your own daily life.

Carol Gold: Bronze Sculptor

Carol Gold, Sculptor

Carol Gold and her sculpture, Time

CAROL GOLD: “I sculpt in wax, then cast into bronze.

“I have chosen to work with human and animal forms to best express my feelings about nature and the human condition.

“I strive to convey a mood as well as create a sense of motion in space. Through the years my sculpture has moved in the direction of increasing simplicity….”

I had the very good fortune to live in the same area as Carol in the early 90s, and was able to visit her in her studio.

I was so impressed with her ability to get so much movement and depth of emotion in such simple forms.

Her handling of the wax she uses as her base medium is exemplary – using it sparingly, details forgone in stark, yet incredibly soft, powerful movement.

Carol doesn’t go in for the loud, jazzy patinas you see on a lot of contempoary bronzes. She sticks with accentuating the form and feeling of each piece by using graduated bronze coloring or the soft greens found on old statuary.

Carol is a true master of her art. Through spare detail and restraint of line, she expresses the full range of the essence of being, and the elegance of the physical form as it moves through emotion and the natural world.

Patricia Bengston, Stone Sculptor: Living Her Deepest Dreams

bengston-face
One of California’s foremost stone sculptors, Patricia Bengston-Jones is a shining example of a Daring Dreamer – someone who doesn’t take Normal for one minute and who bucks the odds to live her Deepest Dreams. Not because of any rebellion, necessarily, but because it’s simply who she is and what she does.

She’s a powerful example of someone who really lives her passion, not alowing the numbing, everyday trance that surrounds us that says, “get a job, be norrrrmaallll…” overtake her!

Raw, mythical power

I was really taken with her work. I love the raw, mythical quality of it, and how she allows the stone to be stone, rather than trying to make something pretty-pretty out of it. It’s stone: heavy; plain; figured; textural; translucent; eternal; even humorous.

bengston-jones-sail

I love how her forms give you an inkling of a story, but not much more than will tickle your own frames of reference and put you on the beginning of a path to create your own stories from the images.

Time and Form

lets-clean-the-barnaclesIDYRHere is one of the pieces I loved the most. Although these are all maritime themed, not all of her works are.  Let’s Clean the Barnacles Off: made from Travertine and Slate, 10″ x 7″ x 20″

 

Here’s what she has to say on her site: PBengtson.com

“As a seeker of knowledge, with ten years of landscape and (color) field painting in 1972, I returned to finished my education, to find answers in my search of the ‘unknown’.

“This led me into sculpture and using concepts of the prehistoric monumental stone sites and myths. I visited England, Italy and Mexico, and lived in the Southwest.

I used the monolithic forms, arches and stacking or layering to denote the passage of time in my sculpture

bengston-jones-marble“This background information along with the mythology of the Vikings, has helped me research my own heritage which combines Swedish and Northern European.

 

“My endless search has helped to shed some light on the unexplained phenomena of my past cultures. It enables my sculpture to come together as a ‘Passage to My Heritage.’ ”

Make sure you visit her site for more mythical, powerful stone and glass work – especially check out that gateway she’s carving in the image above! See lots more of her works at her website, PBengtson.com.

Annabel Fisher: Courage and Determination Help Her Found AAMET

annabel

Annabel Fisher is the founder of AAMET (Association of the Advancement of Energy Techniques). I want you to see how her courage and determination helped her continue on through a terrible illness to come out the other side and create a world-wide organization that helps thousands of people become emotionally free.

In today’s chaotic world, her story serves to remind us that we really can persevere and triumph.

IDareYouRadio.comClick on the icon to the left to listen in on our interview as we talk about how she and I both used EFT (tapping) to relieve ourselves of very intense, chronic conditions that we feared would be with us for the rest of our lives.

Take careful note of what she did to help herself, and how at first it seemed like it backfired on her!

She had been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and was very painfully going about her life feeling ill, exhausted and in a wheelchair. I suffered from suicidal depression. We were both filled with anger, fear and resentment–and ended up clearing it all.

OK, you’ve heard of people using tapping to get rid of illnesses, depression and pain before, but I bet you didn’t know that, for a while, tapping felt like it was making things worse for us both!

Backwards? Huh?

I had been tapping for 4 or 5 weeks (this was 2002, when I was an Artist-in-Residence living in New Zealand), and I thought I was the only one this seemingly backwards experience happened to, and felt very discouraged. Find out why that happened to us, and what our answers were–hers in the UK, mine halfway across the world in NZ.

AAMET in Canada

You’ll also find out about why she started AAMET in Canada, where else it is now available, what her trainings are like and who else she recommends for those of you who want to become top-notch practitioners.

If you are attracted to becoming an EFT practitioner, please know that there are very good training and certifications available other than Gary Craig’s.

These workshops and programs help you get hands-on training with other live students, so you not only increase your knowledge and understanding of tapping, but also your ability to work one-on-one with other, real human beings. This is training you won’t get sitting there watching DVDs.

annabel-bkI highly recommend Annabel’s trainings.

She is the Creator of The Healing Game Process, and is the leading authority on using this process to reclaim vibrant health and true authenticity. She is the host of the radio show, The Healing Game.

Annabel Fisher has worked with thousands of chronically ill clients from around the world since 2004. Her journey with this work began when she healed a chronic health condition of her own, in which she was wheelchair-bound. As a result of her work in the field of chronic illness, Annabel wrote the book, The Healing Game: Transforming Chronic Illness Using EFT

Samantha Hartley, Branding Expert: Hints & Tips for Your Biz

samantha

I’m delighted to bring you dynamic entrepreneur, Samantha Hartley, who is an expert at helping business owners recognize and create their business brand identity.

If you have a business, this is important – and even more so if you have no brand identity, you’ll really want to listen to this week’s show.

What, exactly, IS branding?

Why do you need to be so conscious of it, and careful in its creation?

Most of us think of branding being your business card, how your brochures and other promotional materials look, your office, your websites, your Facebook pages and Twitter feed – even how you answer the phone!

Your brand identity is more!

Your Brand identity is at the root of all the things I listed above. Once you have created a brand identity that is aligned with your values, talents, gifts and the value you bring to the marketplace, it expresses

  • who you (or your business) are,
  • what you do for your clients, and
  • is your representative even when you’re not there to speak.

IDareYouRadio.comI invite you to click on the link or the logo to listen in to our powerful conversation where Samantha shares lots of hints and tips about branding, what it is and how you can up the oomph of your own.

Her tips will help you consolidate your thoughts and ideas about getting your brand created in a way that concisely and clearly communicates the value of your business.

Take her great brand assessment (free) at her site to see where your understanding of your business and its value and how you express it stands–you’ll get back a 5 to 11 page report according to the answers you give on the assessment. I took it, and learned a lot!

Saskia Roell: Pulling Up Stakes and A Suitcase Full of Faith

roell

Can you imagine yourself walking in the door one day and announcing to your 5 kids and husband that you want to close up all your affairs where you are, and move–lock stock and barrel–all the way across the ocean to another country? Where they don’t speak a word of the language?

It’s a true story! Saskia Roell rallied herself, her husband and their 5 young kids, and moved from Holland to a tiny seacoast town in Massachussetts.

Rupa Marya: Respected Doctor, Accomplished Musician

rupa

Rupa Marya: Respected Doctor, accomplished Musician, is such an inspiration to those of us who are not strictly right or left brain oriented. She’s the perfect embodiment of the idea that left informs right, right enhances left. She juggles two seemingly disparate careers – and thrives doing it!

In short, she decided to go for her doctorate, but couldn’t stay away from music. She decided to do both–and kept each side secret from the other! As I searched for other viable news reports about her, I found these two articles below. I hope you enjoy reading about her!

From ABC news: (Read the whole thing HERE)
“Rupa Marya grew up seriously thinking she would become a doctor. She also wanted to be a singer, it was what her parents – immigrants from India wanted for her as well. Her heart was also in music so she felt pressure to choose between medicine or music.”

From Boston: (Read the whole thing HERE)
She says, “”Watching this country become more fearful and journalists becoming the mouthpiece of the administration, I became so angry,” says Marya, on the phone from Sweden. She performs with the April Fishes Tuesday at Johnny D’s as part of a North American tour that includes the Montreal Jazz Festival and Quebec City’s Festival d’Été.

“I couldn’t pick up my guitar,” Marya says. “It was too painful. But then I started to think about what would it be like to create music that reflected what I wanted to see in the world, to give a voice to the things that weren’t getting any airtime. I started with an assignment to write 10 songs about love, compassion, and uncertainty in a time of love across borders.

“How we convey information to one another is something that’s very interesting to me,” Marya says. “As a doctor, there are so many ways you can miscommunicate, and it’s always a challenge. How do you tell somebody they’re dying? How do you tell an audience that people in their neighborhood are living with so much fear of being deported that they don’t seek proper medical help? It’s like the riddle of my life, and I explore it several different ways, through music, and through these kinds of investigations.”

Are You Being True to and Living Your Energetic Truth?

tuttle

Have you ever been told to hush up?

Or told to lighten up?

Or maybe someone said to you: “get a thicker skin,” or “you’re too sensitive!”

Or, “Get serious!”

And did you end up trying to be some way that was completely not ‘you’ in an attempt to be loved or more acceptable?

I have. I’ve been shushed, told not to laugh (right!) and in particular, not to laugh so loud. And, “You’re too much!” If I had a dollar for each time I’ve heard that I’d never have to work another day in my life.

I simply, naturally, as part of my energy make-up, have lots of ‘swift,’ substantial, powerful energy. It comes with Angela Treat Lyon territory.

Maybe I ‘should’…

But I used to think that, in order to be more acceptable, I ‘should’ be more quiet, speak more softly, walk more gracefully–that there was something wrong with me.

Ha! There certainly wasn’t! Yes, of course I’m OK with me now, but I sure didn’t used to be. And I used to compensate for what I thought of as my blunders and gaffs by trying not being my natural self. I ended up trying to be an ideal that just didn’t fit me, and I felt like a fraud, unaccepted and really, really angry. I was living a lie, and I was afraid to live my truth.

At last, more understanding!

This week, I finally availed myself of Carol Tuttle’s Online Energy Profiling system. I wish now I had gotten it before when I first heard of it. She really hits home when she says that the very thing you don’t like about yourself or that you’ve been criticized for may be your greatest gift–even your mission!

I am really impressed with the clarity and quality of Carol’s site, the videos and Carol’s delivery. BUT–most of all, Carol’s knowledge and ability to deliver it in a soft, yet incisive way, while simultaneously weaving in pointed stories about herself and her own family and how profound this information has been for her, had me riveted.

I am so impressed. I’m not a sit-down-and-watch-videos-for-hours person, but I sat in this very seat and spent three+ hours watching each online video segment, beginning to end. They were that good. No, they were astounding.

No hype, no this-is-how-it-is, no you-must-do-this or thats–just clear information that makes things understandable. So simple–yet complex and deep; interwoven so neatly. It was such a pleasure to listen, watch and soak in every word she said. I even watched a couple of the segments more than once–unheard of for me–I’m a watch-once-and-that’s-it person.

Don’t want to wait? Use THIS LINK!

Why is this system so profound?

See what you have to say to these phrases and questions:

Have you ever been told:
You’re too much!
Lighten up!
Get a spine!
Don’t be so loud!
You don’t need to be a perfectionist!
You’re too sensitive!

Or been asked:
Why do you always have to be the life of the party?
Why do your legs bounce like that–are you going somewhere?
Who the heck cares about your family tree, anyway?
How can you sit there without moving an inch?

I bet you didn’t know how to respond.

Other than collapsing into I-can’t-be-me, or feeling angry and rebellious that you’re not OK the way you are, or just ignoring the hurt.

But if you were familiar with the four types of energy, you’d know that each one of those questions and statements fits one particular profile. And if someone said one of those things to you, you’d know how to respond!

Here’s the thing

If you have been told that you’re the life of the party, did you know that you have an important mission? Don’t let people misread you anymore–you do have value, just the way you are. Could you imagine Goldie Hawn trying to be serious? Wrong!

And doesn’t it get old being told you’re too sensitive, get a thick skin?

Did you know there’s a purpose for your sensitivity and you’re just as valuable and precious as anyone else? And did you know that highly sensitive people are in the forefront of thought and design in the world?

I was able to use Carol’s energy type information this week with a client when I realized that I was using words that fit my own energy style rather than hers, and she was blocking them like a wall. When I started using words that fit her energetic style, she opened up immediately. This is way beyond NLP!

Are you curious?

I want you to imagine how you’d like your relationships to improve–whether with family, friends, clients, co-workers or complete strangers. They will once you understand the energy types better.

You’ll find out what mission 1s have in the world, why 4s like to wear black, why 2s are so obsessed with past and future, and why us 3s are so bold!

Carol shares some poignant anecdotes about herself, her husband and her kids–how their lives improved and how much more they understand and appreciate each other now that they get what their energy configurations are.

I wish I’d had this understanding right from the start–what a difference it would have made–maybe my  family and I wouldn’t have had the ultimate dysfunctional experience! We all could have lived our truthful beingnesses.

I strongly recommend Carol’s Online Energy Profiling system.

What makes Energy Profiling® one of the most accurate assessment tools is it’s reference to not only personality traits, but to our unique expression in body language and physical features.  Because personality can be altered, adapted, and shamed, many people are not living true to their dominant expression in all areas of life.  Consider the possibility that the way you doodle and your facial features may say more about who you really are than your personality!

Discover what Type of person you are by discovering your unique Energy Profile® today and start living true to the power of you! Pretty amazing.

Is Your Audience Primarily Women? If Not, Why Not?

Maybe you didn’t know that women control:

52% of businesses in the US!
70% of the spendable income!

Might want to update your thinking about women! Check out this article: Women in History, for more info and a good laugh of enjoyment at the amazing things we women have done!

Here are just a few:

The invention, patented in 1941, manipulated radio frequencies between transmission and reception to develop an unbreakable code so that top-secret messages could not be intercepted.

Sally Fallon: Nourishing Traditional Foods You Can Make

fallon

I love this book!

Did you know that:

* That patients with severe burns are often force-fed huge quantities of eggs as a source of protein to rebuild loss of skin?

* That a study done with over 800,000 people by the American Cancer Society revealed that “non-egg users had a higher death rate from heart attacks and strokes than egg users”?

* The word ‘marathon’ actually means fennel?

* That you can make an immune-boosting drink from beets that has been consumed in Europe for thousands of years?

Where am I getting all this good stuff?

fallon-nour-tradFrom an absolute must-read, must-keep book by Sally Fallon: Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats

“This well-researched, thought-provoking guide to traditional foods contains a startling message: Animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels. Sally Fallon dispels the myths of the current low-fat fad in this practical, entertaining guide to a can-do diet that is both nutritious and delicious.”

I believe it will have more of an eventual impact than the ones Adele Davis wrote in the 60s that spurred such a health-food revolution.

Nourishing Traditions is not just full of plain old same-old, same-old recipes, it’s recipes that are geared to help you be well, often derived from folk tradtion based on regional foods that were used for various health-giving properties.

Stories Galore!

She includes pages and pages of anecdotes, scientific research, stories and folk tradition passed along for centuries, all rolled up in the one 600+ page book.

I thought you’d love this book if you are fed up (LOL) with being fed hype, BS and lies by the big food processors. Wait til you read what she says about cream and butter (page 88)! And on page 130, one small sentence about using MSG *only once* gave me chills. And why raw honey helps you digest bread and other starchy foods (page 490)!

All kinds of great recipes that, in very simple and do-able form, allow you to build your immune system, add vitamins and enzymes, and create incredibly good-tasting foods. I’ve been experimenting with these for a couple of weeks and haven’t found one I didn’t like or enjoy. I especially love the lemon drink made with whey that tastes almost like beer, but is not fermented with alcohol!

More cool things about food

And here’s a good one: Patricia Hardman, PhD., who is the Director of Woodland Hall Academy, a school specifically for kids with hyperactivity and learning disabilities in Florida, says “We can change a child’s behavior dramatically by lowering his or her intake of sugar.”

She goes on to say that one child, who was tested 140 on his IQ test, was retested after a weekend stay with granny, who plied him with sweets.

This time, he came in at 100. After 3 days he was tested again and – you got it – back to 140.

Why Am I Not Getting the Tapping Success I want?

tap-success

I get notes all the time from folks with questions about how to use EFT, or MTT, as many are calling it now, or just plain tapping. I’ll refer to it as tapping from now on.

And no, we’re not talking about tap dancing! Gotta have a little fun now and then, yes?

This week someone asked me what to do if you don’t seem to be getting results tapping.

Here are just a few aspects to this question that can help you resolve the dilemma.

A. What is it you don’t like?

First, identify what’s going on that you don’t like. Like, I lost my job, my husband’s having an affair, I feel ugly, I can’t make enough (or any!) money as an enterpreneur.

Those are all what I call umbrella issues that are too broad to tap on and get good results without looking at some details.

B. Where do you feel it?

What I want you to do is duck under the umbrella and pick out the places where you feel ughy. Like, it felt awful to be yelled at when I was fired. I hated myself when I shouted at my kid. I feel so anxious about marketing my business.

C. Name it

Zero down a bit more, and name how you felt – I was so ticked off, I was so ashamed, I felt so humiliated.

D. What’s your body doing?

Now, how did you *know* you felt that way? Did you blush to your hair-roots? Were you clenching your fists, did your heart feel like it was going to blast our of your chest, did you stop breathing? Pin it down so you know some exact symptoms.

E. Rate it

Then, rate how intense those symptoms, or  feelings, are, with 0 being the least and 10 the most. WRITE it down, because you’ll be amazed to see your rating after you’ve tapped, and may not even believe you had anything going on at all in the first place!

F. Tap

Now you have solid, identifiable things upon which to tap: even though my heart felt like it was bursting when he yelled at me…I didn’t want to cry so my chest felt tight and I couldn’t breathe….

NOTE:

If you have never tapped before, go to: EFTinEveryHome.com and see what I’m talking about. You get a freebie run-through mini session right there so you can get a taste of tapping.

Tell everyone you know about the site, too – I want to see every last person on the planet have this incredible key to emotional sanity.

If you’re a practitioenr, send your new clients there to check it out before their first session with you – it will save you tremendous time having to explain the points, how it works, etc.

Fa. Then be sure to say you accept yourself. If you can’t say that without your mind balking, tap on even though I can’t accept myself until you can say it and be pleased by saying it. Then continue the original session.

Fb. If you are one of those people who can’t seem to feel, then use the word *think* – what did you think when he yelled at you? What do you think about being a home business owner? Many times that will help get the right words. It helps guys a lot, and people who tend to be more mental or academic.

It’s in the details.

If you don’t know how you feel, look to where your body hurts or has tension. If you don’t know how your body feels, look to memories, what people said to you, what you think about something. Get the details. You’ll be able to get real results using these hints. Get the details. Get the details.

And remember: it’s all energy.

No matter what’s going on, it’s just energy, and you can tap it into being useful, productive and creative even if it *looks* disruptive, limiting and deadly right now. It’s just energy. Choose creativity!

Hope that helps.
