A Welcome from Val

We gain valuable insights into our nature as humans in our ongoing attempts to create.  Creation begins in our thought.  It is comfortable to study, think and talk about what we want to create.  Ultimately, though, that’s where our creative process stalls out unless we take the action necessary to bring our creative thought into creative reality.

And (a word of warning here) such action generally takes us out of our comfort zone and into uncharted waters.  As we create, we are forced to DO —  whether that means daubing paint over paint on a canvas, taking the same photo ten times with ten different lenses, writing and re-writing a pivotal paragraph, or changing our presentation at the last minute (again).

Soon the DOING proffers something.  By taking inspired action, we net a result, a product, a piece of art, a magazine article, an instructional video, a concerto, a classroom experience.  By seeing what to do and doing it, we bridge the gap between thought and outcome, between intention and accomplishment, between possibility and reality. ‎It is our inspired action that gives the Universe permission to move in our behalf. In the very instant that we make a move toward what we want, we begin allowing Universal power to draw to us that which we seek.

A friend of mine from Australia said to me recently, “If you combine the Law of Attraction with the Law of Action, something great is going to happen.”

Making Room for Abundance (Part 4 – Choosing Your Input)

I laughed right out loud when I opened a recent magazine to an article entitled “May I Have My Attention, Please?” As I skimmed the text, I realized that in some respects author Katy Read’s description of “information overload” and its resulting loss of focus has probably applied to most of us at times, no matter what our age.

Making Room for Abundance (Part 3 – Wishing Others Well)

I have been intrigued for a long time by a simple word which I first ran across in the New Testament of the Holy Bible: lovingkindness. According to various religions including Buddhaism, the Bah’ai faith, Christianity, and Hinduism the definition of the word combines actions and emotions encouraged by the spiritual teachers of the ages such as charity, compassion, understanding, gentleness, brotherhood, friendliness, esteem and Godly love.   Lovingkindness embodies the altruistic desire of wanting for others what we want for ourselves.

Making Room for Abundance (Part 2 – Limiting Distractions)

In his notable book, Law of Attraction, author Michael Losier makes a significant point that in order to manifest into our lives the people, circumstances, and things we want, we must “allow” them into our lives.  I have met Mr. Losier, listened to him speak several times, and read his book often and he and I agree that allowing miracles is definitely the hardest part of the attraction regimen.  The difficulty is that we think we don’t know HOW to allow or that we’re already doing everything we can to let the miracles in.

Making Room for Abundance (Part 1 – Letting Go)

What if I had not made the choices that brought me to a point in my life where I now have the time and means to travel to be with my grandchildren on their birthdays and holidays? What if I was still tied to a job that paid me only enough to survive, but definitely not enough to thrive as I am today?

As you watch this brief slide show, think about my question, “Can you imagine what a shame it would be if I did NOT having this collage in my memory?”  Please click here to watch A Day with Preslee and Bridger.

I’m sure you would agree that it would truly be a travesty if I had not been able to document this glorious day with these precious grandchildren.  So was it luck that brought me to this place in my journey?  Absolutely!  That is, of course, if your definition of luck is the same as mine:  “Preparation plus opportunity equals luck.” Continue Reading

Home Business Nana

All my adult life, my focus has been nurturing, supporting, and enjoying my six children.  Now, four of my children are married and are rearing their own little ones.  That puts me in the most glorious of all callings – that of being Nana to my eight grandchildren.  I spend a lot of time with each of them, but that hasn’t always been the case.  When I was first a Nana, I was working three jobs. Continue Reading

What’s a Tribe?

Entrepreneurs are dead in the water unless they have people buying their products or services.  And unless people know that you are in business and what you have that will solve their problems, they simply aren’t your customers.  When you have a brick-and-mortar business, you may advertise with signage, newspaper flyers, radio or TV ads, but when you have an internet-based or network marketing business, getting the word out and establishing yourself as a reliable provider of solutions (products or services) is a completely different project. 

One of the greatest assets an entrepreneur can have is a content syndication alliance, more often called a “tribe.”  In such an alliance, you have the opportunity to promote the products and services of others as they promote you.  This is particularly important in today’s market environment because of the change in what potential customers require.  What I mean is that we are no longer in the “Information Age” – in fact, people around the world are drowning in information.  We are tired of being sold something.  Continue Reading

First and foremost, I am Nana Val

It is not hard for me to share my identity with you. Yes, I am a successful businesswoman, but first and foremost, I am Nana Val. I am deeply in love with a man named PapaDaddy.  Each of our ten grandchildren is a unique and special individual and one of our greatest pleasures is spending time with them.  You are invited to enjoy moments with little Carley at 20 months old. A Weekend with Carley

Now you know why being an entrepreneur is such a special opportunity for me.  As such, I have the time freedom and the financial independence to give my best time to my family.

Make yours an abundant life,

Afraid of Success?

There was time early in my career as a professional marketer that I stalled out.  Like a 1960s high performance muscle car with its finely tuned (but not fuel injected) motor flooded, I was going nowhere. 

Actually, come to think of it, I felt more like the above mentioned dragster just spinning my slicks (tires with no tread, for those of you who are not race fans).  I was in motion but, like I said, going nowhere. Continue Reading

Abundance is often spelled SYNCHRONICITY

I have been fascinated the past few days at the synchronicity in my life. Even though I have been teaching the Laws of Abundance for years, I still watch with awe as the results of these principles manifest. This week, I have been richly blessed by the timing and abundance of very specific ways to improve my business. Continue Reading
