Welcome to episode #89 of Home Stagers and Designers on Fire. I truly believe that it is important to consciously create your life and business around what fulfills you. When you actively and intentionally choose fulfillment you actually change yourself from the inside out. As you take action towards what you want-who you become changes. You become more creative and resourceful. You become more confident. You have a feeling of harmony and congruence with the laws of the universe.. You are doing what is important to you. Everything feels lighter- even if you are afraid.
A fulfilled life is sometimes described as being perfectly alive, filled with purpose and satisfaction, involving vision and requiring intensive alignment with what you value most—a highly meaningful life. And a highly meaningful life means something different for everyone
In this episode you will learn:
What fulfillment is and how to bring more of it into your life and business
Why it is so important to make decisions that are in alignment with what you value most
Why setting clear boundaries is so important in the pursuit of fulfillment
How your thoughts empower you to take action or stay stuck
Why who you become in the quest for fulfillment is so important
How being in alignment with your core values attracts people to you
Why it is so important to choose a business model that fulfills you and optimal ways to create your business model by design
The difference between conscious decisions and fear based decisions
