    Exploring Your Life Mission

    This series will help you to gain a clear understanding of your unique gifts, passions, needs, and values, so that you can discover what you want to do with the rest of your life. It will help you to answer the questions "What do I want my life to be about? What is my life purpose?" Through a series of four one-hour teleclasses, you will work on creating a "Mission Statement" for your life. This can be used to help you make clear decisions about your life and career choices - decisions that will honor your life purpose. We will discuss the important qualities of a mission statement and how they can be used as a tool to help you live an extraordinary life.

    Our participants say,
    "I really enjoyed the Exploring Your Life Mission teleclass and got so much out of it. I have done 'exploration exercises' in the past and always been very introspective, but have never been able to pull it all together like this. I am really jazzed by what I came up with!"
    A brief summary of the class follows:
    Week 1: Look at your entire life - social, career, financial, spiritual, health, and family. How balanced is it, what areas of your life need work, how would you define a "10" in each area? We will work on defining what you want and why you "really" want it?

    Week 2: Clarify your Needs, Values, Natural Gifts, Talents, and Passions. If you don't get your core "needs" met first, you won't be able to focus on your passions and explore your life mission. Most of us operate on autopilot, not even realizing that we are doing this. Understanding who you are and what makes you tick, gives you the freedom to explore new areas in your life.

    Week 3: Understand your "empowering" and "limiting" beliefs, how they play out in your life, and how to change the ones that don't serve you anymore. Explore what to do when you "get stuck." How do you quiet that "Board of Directors" in your head that tells you when you "shouldn't or can't" do certain things?

    Week 4: Create your Mission Statement, discuss how to use it, and how to set up support systems to help you in life.

    Topics we will cover include:

  • Getting very clear about what you want and why you want it.

    The 7 Figure Business Formula

    Presenter: Christine Comaford

    Learn the PROVEN 6 Step Formula to Build YOUR Multi-Million Dollar Business

    Starting and running your own company seems very exciting... at the beginning. Yet more often than not, most entrepreneurs end up finding out they've created a JOB for themselves, rather than a company.

    Entrepreneurs begin their business endeavors with the great intention of creating fabulous freedom in their life... yet they quickly find themselves chained to their desks, working harder and longer than they ever imagined. They began with the hopes and dreams of abundant cash flow...and yet find themselves in the reality of a less than thrilling' personal income, paying their staff more than they pay themselves - and wondering what the heck is going on!

    The friends and family that mean so much to them - end up taking a back seat to the business that consumes them. Their health begins to plummet. Their happiness fades. And they end up wondering why they are building a business at all.

    Christine Comaford is a 5x entrepreneur, former venture capitalist and CEO Freedom Fighter. Her own startups have generated 700% ROI, she has invested in over 200 companies (including Google), and has helped 153 entrepreneurs become financially free.
