The Conference Is Coming! The Conference Is Coming!
by Donna Maria Coles Johnson

It's here! The New Year! What's on your calendar this month as you embrace 2006? Do you have a new vision for success as a home manager and business owner? I sure do! It involves becoming more efficient at business so I can spend more time with my family, and having more fun with my family so I can enjoy business more. Isn't it funny how one feeds directly into the other? When you have a home-based/family business and you are passionate about what you do, there really is no separation between the two. You family is your business and your business is your family.

I can't remember being so excited about the start of a New Year. I know I won't feel this energized all year -- probably not even all week -- but I'm off to a good start in part because I know that I'm about to meet so many of you who have allowed me to bring the Lifestyle CEO into your lives.

Women are registering for the first ever Lifestyle CEO Conference from all over and our speakers are gearing up for an exciting time of sharing and inspiration. It's going to be an incredible gathering and I promise you will leave with everything you need to send your business and your family into the stratosphere this year -- guaranteed! What better way to start a new year??!

If you're coming to the conference, here's a sampling of what you can expect.

1. Lifestyle CEO Passion Principle Notes

From now until the conference, you will receive my very own Passion Principle Notes throughout the week. Each Note is like a mini-conference of its own, specifically designed to help prepare your heart, mind, body, soul and sprit for the grand event on January 28! Each Note contains tools that can help you re-charge your business and family in 2006. More than just "feel good" words, my Passion Principle Notes contain actual items you can use to build your business, realize your dreams and engage your family in the process. As you read each Note, look forward to how you can incorporate the tips shared into your 2006 goal planning.

2. Passions Pursued, Dreams Fulfilled

I don't know about you but when I am in a room filled with women who are pursuing their passions, exploring their capabilities, maximizing their potential and living the lives they have always wanted, I become a better woman, wife, mother and business owner. I believe that God uses our energy to empower us to literally lift each other up and help us envision the possibilities that lie before us. At the conference, you will enjoy this kind of uplift. From your fellow conference attendees to the keynote speaker to the panel speakers to Li'l Ole Me, you will benefit as never before from the connections with other women from around the nation who are breaking all the rules, building their own corporate ladders and creating the lives they love! That means that in addition to powerful tools to grow your business, you will enjoy meaningful exchanges with like-minded people who share your vision for amassing wealth on their own terms and creating a legacy for their children and other family members to enjoy.

3. BAM!

When you leave the Lifestyle CEO Conference, you will have a Business Action Model, what I call a BAM! I'm not talking about a collection of words on paper for a banker or investor to read and toss into a pile. Oh no! I'm talking about a "right-here- right-now-get-it-done" Business Action Model that you will create at the conference, and then return home to immediately get busy making your dreams come true. The BAM! will be different for every woman -- no cookie cutter program will work for everyone. You will learn how to use my Passion Principles to create your own individualized BAM! and you will be empowered to get out there and make it happen in 2006. BAM! You're on the scene making a difference and creating opportunities that take you from where you are to where you want to be.

4. Results!

The Lifestyle CEO Conference is about results! My conference is not about socializing, though we'll do a lot of that! But even more than that, it is about unleashing the power of your passion and talents to execute your highest priorities in life -- to support yourself and your family, to enjoy the process and to make a positive contribution to your self, your family, your community and your world. You will quickly see how you can identify, focus on and act on your key aspirations, turning dreams into goals and desires into tangible milestones in your life.

5. Follow Up

Most conferences -- even the good ones -- end with the attendees going their separate ways. Sure, everyone is aglow for a while but soon after, it's back to the same routine and everyone is wondering what they got out of it after all. The Lifestyle CEO Conference is different. Each attendee will enjoy an exclusive opportunity for one-on-one follow up during the month of February with a specially selected and trained Lifestyle CEO Facilitator who will help you take immediate action on your BAM! Your Facilitator will help you envision, think, and act in tune with your goals so you spend more time implementing them and experiencing results, and less time fiddling with details that suck your time but don't get you anywhere. Your Lifestyle CEO Facilitator will help you take responsibility for your BAM! and become more opportunity-minded so you can begin to invest in yourself in a new way to create just the set of circumstances in your life to help you succeed and move forward with confidence and flair.

Few times on the calendar are as exciting and invigorating as January 1 when we have an opportunity to frame the future in light of the past. I know my past and even though it's a pretty decent foundation, it's only the beginning. The same is true for you. No matter where you were yesterday, or where you are today, you can create the life you've always wanted on your own terms doing what you love, and you can start right now -- today!
