At the time I was setting up my own coaching practice, various business names were running through my mind. I came up with the name Your Clear Path, because it makes it clear right away, that it is about YOU. And that YOU will find a Clear Path. I researched the internet to check if a company with this name already existed. I was lucky: only a landmine company ?? located far away had the same name. I made the final decision for ‘Your Clear Path’. The symbol of the evolving butterfly and the compass, that shows that anyone can go any direction, were and are accompanying the name, Your Clear Path. I made the name happen.
The next step was, besides doing all the formal administrative stuff for the DBA and other obligations, to build my practice. ‘Doing the networking thing’, spreading the word, creating brochures and business cards, do free lectures etc. Making it happen.
Wow, making it happen sounds so easy, but was that really the case? It took so much more then just the above.
I took and takes various ingredients such as, using a daily positive mantra, for example: “What a wonderful day is it today. I will breath in and out, and fill my head with positive thoughts”. And another ingredient is, making sure that the mantra stays within arms reach during your day. Every time a challenge will face you, you will grab that mantra of the table and put it in your mouth and swallow it. Making sure you digest it. Over and over. The mind is conditioned to go into wires of negative thoughts, but by training your mind the other way, you can simply condition it the other way around.
Then, besides taking care of the basic needs such as a full night sleep (7-9 hours), healthy foods (whole, organic food,, caffeine, (refined) sugars), alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, water and physical exercise (and or yoga).
Also, use a schedule for all the action steps that need to be taken.
Which brings me to the next step: ACTION! Making it happen by taking action. Scheduling the network events, creating your website, brochures and business cards, scheduling network visits to preschools, churches, hospitals, doctors offices, stores, coffee houses etc., whatever is relevant to your niche. And follow up with your steps.
And then, go back to the first step, the mantra. Because all the hard work you do, may not pay off right away. Negative and self-defeating thoughts may enter your mind, and you may become discouraged. So, in order to make it happen, make sure that you drink that lovely cocktail of pure love, positive thoughts, encouragement and all that, as many times as you need to. And ignore the other ones, they are just words. Pay attention to the tension in your body, do abdominal breathing, and you will see that your body will slowly feel more relaxed. Another technique is, to focus on the part in your body that does not feel tense and that feels solid. Slowly, you will notice that the tension will leave your body, and it becomes easier to let go of the negative thoughts and to welcome the positive, encouraging thoughts.
These type of exercises can be done more easily with the help of a life coach or counselor/therapist.
What else is needed to make it happen? Feel it! is it your passion you are working on ? Feel the joy, feel the excitement when you are talking about your business, when you are getting a new client, when you start your day. Passion is everything.
Lastly, embrace the process. Making it happen is a theme in Los Angeles, and all over the world. You start somewhere, and will try your best to reach your end goal. Only ‘time’ will know what the end result it, since you will see so many factors down the road that will influence your end product. It is a little bit of you, and a little bit of the universe and the process that will lead you to the end goal or product.

Well, where does that leave my own life coaching and family coaching practice Your Clear Path and my psychotherapist practice?
I am making it happen, when a a client leaves my practice feeling satisfied, happy, or happier, filled with new ideas of how to live life. My success is rated by simply providing clients a Clear Path through life coaching or family coaching and providing psychotherapy.
I used the above pointers, although I left the networking business a little bit premature. Why? I thought, let’s have the universe do it’s networking for me.
It already gave me so many good things. You see, you are reading this article. Thank you.
