WHEW! 
My creative mojo has been on fire since I’ve been back from Shine. (Here I am in our room at the luxury Venetian)
I can still feel the excitement of the almost 1,000 women eager to create success.
What did I take away from my time at SHINE?
Well, in many ways it was not what I expected. And, there was still much I received from it. Three key things:
1. It’s All About the Connections
My greatest highlight was the connections I made with people. I finally met women (and a few men) I’ve known for so long from Facebook and Twitter. I engaged with women (and a few men) who are doing and being in life and business in the new ways that life is demanding us to grow into.
I met amazing people that I look forward to growing with.
2. Don’t Be A Cookie Cutter Of Someone Else!
My greatest takeaway was to continue to be true to myself. The last thing I want after all these years of designing a life that is true to who I am, is to walk away from the “latest and greatest” in business and become a cookie cutter of someone else.
Don’t get me wrong. This is not what was being advocated for or modeled.
But Vegas brings it out. You know, the bells and whistles. The lights.
And, the promise of success can, too. Which is what people like Ali Brown offer.
We can get swept up in the glamour and lose ourselves when really, what we need to do is find ourselves.
Anyway, my direction was affirmed and my sense of purpose was amped.
What I know is that it works to be me. It’s where joy and freedom reside. It’s a natural attractor. And it just feels good.
I know my business will thrive in 2010 because I will be true to me. How about you?
3. Eliminating Suffering
Clearly, women are on the accelerated path right now. Many factors have led to this juncture in time, and women are on the rise.
I could see during my time at Shine how women need tools to BE fully alive. Not just talking about it. Not just studying it. Not just watching someone else living it. But to really BE it for themselves.
And, as women blaze a trail for new ways of being, new ways of doing business, I want them to GET how to create a fabulous brand of success…grounded in who they really are.
So, I’m back and I’m on a mission to serve more women in 2010 than I ever have. I will eliminate suffering and increase joy.
