 This
week I’m celebrating the fact that I’ve just become a PRINT Certified Coach.
What that means is I’m now licensed to deliver a fabulous personality assessment
called the
PRINT Survey.
Here’s what one client has to say about the PRINT Package which includes taking
the online assessment, receiving your PRINT Report via email, and a 60-90 minute
debrief via telephone with me:
“My PRINT nailed me. It didn’t tell me
anything I haven’t known about myself for decades, but your powerful debrief
gave me, for the first time ever, some great strategies for building on my
strengths and strengthening my weaknesses. Thanks, Lin…I highly recommend the
PRINT Survey to anyone who wants to grow themselves personally, and make this
next stage of life all that it can be!”
Find out how to
discover your PRINT and why you’ll want to use this powerful tool.
And, here’s a win-win proposition. For the month of April, I’m offering LWTBO
readers the opportunity to save 60% off the cost of a PRINT Package. Because of
my agreement with the PRINT folks, I can’t tell you the cost of the PRINT on the
web, but I can assure you it’s a great savings. Call me at 413-499-9761 or
email me, and I’ll give
you all the details. |

Create Some Magic in the Good Vibes Coaching Group
 Here’s
one important thing I’ve discovered over the years about the Law of Attraction:
so much good happens so quickly that it can be really challenging to sustain it.
Sound crazy? Here me out.
I’ve had an on-again-off-again love affair with the Law of Attraction over the
past eight years. Each time I really got my “Mojo” working (that is being in
flow and having amazing things show up in my life) I’d slam the brakes on and go
back to my same-old-same-old way of being.
Then, when I just couldn’t stand it any more, I’d start practicing and welcoming
wondrous delights back into my life. I finally figured out, that we’re so used
to living in negative vibes (no matter how “positive” we think we are) that all
that positivity can be downright overwhelming.
That’s why I decided to create the
Good Vibes Coaching Group for 12 Wise
Outrageous Women who are ready to start (and stay) soaring, and could use the
support some like-minded women along the way.
There are only 9 spots left in the new
Good Vibes
Coaching Group starting April 14th at the affordable cost of $97/month for four
months, so if you’re ready to create some magic in your life, don’t miss out! |

8 Steps to a Successful Do-It-Yourself Retirement
Planning Retreat
by Lin Schreiber, Retirement
Coach
 As
a business woman, I take an annual retreat each December to reflect on the past
year, review my three-year vision, and plan the coming year. It was my brilliant
Virtual Assistant Donna Gunter
who first turned me on to the idea, after she learned of the concept from
successful Business Coach Chris Barrow
in the UK.
I’ve enjoyed my annual retreat tremendously. It’s been incredibly useful in
helping me continually expand the outer of edges of what I think is possible –
in my business, and in my life.
It’s worked so well, that I now encourage my clients to use an adapted version
of the retreat to help plan their encore lives, formerly known as “retirement”.
Here’s how you can do it:
1. Book 3 days on your calendar. Sure you’re busy, but we’re talking
about planning the rest of your life, so carve out some quality time for your
retreat. Ideally it’ll be three consecutive days, and at a time of year when you
can breathe a little easier. If you can’t manage three days in a row, spread
them out over the month, but make sure that they’re three whole days. You’ll
need them.
2. Get away from life’s distractions. A cabin in the woods or a cottage
by the beach would be terrific. Not in the cards? Don’t let that stop you. One
year, I spent my retreat at the Williams College library, one of the quietest
public places I’ve ever been in. Leave the cell phone at home, and if you’re
using a laptop, don’t fire up the Internet.
3. Find a peaceful place to be. You’ll want to be in a place where you
can quiet yourself enough to hear your Internal Guidance System, or what I like
to call your IGS. It’s like the GPS in your car, only better, because it’ll
never let you down. Your IGS is your own wisdom, your deep inner knowing, and
it’s impossible to tune in to when there’s a lot of commotion in your space.
4. Ask yourself the really hard questions. Start with what kind of a life
do you really want? You’ll want to answer this one as if money is not an issue.
Then, ask yourself what’s enough . . . what do you really need to be happy? And,
finally who do you want to be in this next stage of life? Have you spent decades
turning yourself inside out being what was expected of you in your work? Then
you’re ready to let the “real” you out, and live your most authentic life.
5. Be brutally honest about the good, the bad, and the ugly of your life.
Writing down everything about your life that you really like is a great place to
start. But, don’t stop there. Write down everything you don’t like about your
life as it is right now in all arenas of your life including health,
purpose/work, play, love, relationships, money, spirit, and any others you come
up with. Then, flip each one of the sentences on your “don’t like” list into the
positive, and you’ll start to clarify what you do want.
6. Write your ideal encore life vision. This is where you really get to
have some fun. Let go of your dinky thinking and really use your imagination to
create the best possible what’s next in every arena of your life. Keep working
it until everything in this vision puts a great big smile on your face.
7. Write your three-year vision. It doesn’t matter if you’re “retiring”
tomorrow or 5 years from now. Armed with your encore life vision as your road
map, write down what you would like to accomplish in the next 36 months towards
your vision. Know that this is a living, breathing document that will continue
to evolve and change at least once a year at your annual retreat.
8. Create a 90-Day Goals List. Finally, you’ll want to design your action
plan for the next three months. Take the seven (or more) life arenas you worked
with in number five, and create three goals for each arena. Create a new 90-Day
Goals list every quarter, and be sure to mark it on your calendar, so you’ll
continue to be fueled toward your encore life vision.
One of the advantages of this do-it-yourself retirement planning retreat, is it
offers you a terrific opportunity to think big, get in touch with what’s real
for you, and start aligning your encore life with the real you. Enjoy! WANT TO USE THIS ARTICLE IN YOUR EZINE OR WEB SITE?

You might not know this about me, but I’m a
serious believer in the Law of Attraction. Over the past eight years, I’ve
really enjoyed “playing” with my energy and have reaped some amazing results as
I’ve had more and more fun with the process.

entrepreneur or small business owner who realizes that you can no longer do it
all yourself, and you’d love to have a partner—rather than an employee—to help
you get to the next level in your business? Consider hiring a VA!
